This perspective is mostly used by biological psychologists and they try to associate behaviour the roles nervous system and the brain. This perspective is widely used in the health care sector. There are a variety of applications to the biological approach, for examples in the healthcare sector practitioners are able to study the genetic disposition to illness. This allows providing service users with the best possible advice on how to be able to cope; they will also be able to research the best possible treatment for the illness. For example researchers are able to carry out genetic tests in labs to see whether the offspring of adults will be likely to be diagnosed with cancer.
Approaches in health and social care are the scientific study of thoughts, feelings and behaviours. The approaches have a major impact on helping patients and service users within the health or social care practices. The different type of health practices that use the psychological approaches are hospitals, (GPs) general practitioners and care homes. Social care practitioners include educational psychiatrist, registers, teachers, social works and finance managers. The four different approaches that will be looked at are: behaviourist, humanistic, cognitive and biological approaches.
You need to identify as many actions as possible for each target. Monitoring You must identify how and when you may monitor your client’s progress against their targets. You should present your information in a table. M1- Explain how the plan meets the health and wellbeing meets of the needs of the individual. You need to produce a written report to explain how each part of your plan will affect the health and wellbeing of your client and how it will meet their needs.
Qualitative research uses the information found in order to provide an understanding to the human experience and behavior ("Encyclopedia.com", 2013). Quantitative and qualitative research differs from one another in terms of what data or information that they yield and display, as well as how that information is interpreted. For example quantitative research will portrait the percentage or statistics of a matter and qualitative research will look into and portrait the life pattern or the behavior of individuals to get them into those statistics. Both can relate to the human service field as well as the scientific method, which does get used within the human service profession. Both quantitative and qualitative can be incorporated into the scientific method.
Y our doctor works with hospital staff and professionals in your community. You and your family also play an important role in your care. The success of your treatment often depends on your efforts to follow medication, diet and therapy plans. Your family may need to help care for you at home. You can expect us to help you identify sources of follow-up care and to let you know if our hospital has a financial interest in any referrals.
Systems Theory and Healthcare Delivery Healthcare delivery and nursing practice in the U.S. have always been challenged with respect to Knowledge Transfer. Knowledge Transfer is a necessary practice in healthcare delivery to ensure successful implementation of strategies and practices. Systems Theory introduces a method known as Knowledge Transfer by which information can be shared between scientists and researchers. The ability to have a Knowledge Transfer process in place allows scientists and researchers to make sense of system characteristics such as wholeness, differentiation and progression. By applying system theory to their problem, researchers were able to see that patients and families were in need of stability and balance in their life.
Individual Health Records • What different forms are used to keep patient information? What is the purpose of each form? Inside a patient’s medical chart there are many different forms that contain vast information concerning that specific patient. Each individual record will have a patient history form, which helps the physician, nurses or medical provider to better understand any past and hereditary illnesses, past surgeries, past injuries, and past pregnancies of a patient. This helps reduce the chances of providing unnecessary treatments or tests on a patient, and helps in diagnosis of a patient.
At this capacity, nurses will have the role and duty to provide coordinated care to the patients alongside other physicians and personnel who may not visit the patients as regularly as the nurses. In addition, they will also provide diseases management services, as well as, care transitions, among different patients. The nurses will have the responsibility of transferring important medical information, such as medical history, test results, medication lists and patient preferences among the different participants who will take part in the provision of care for the patients. They will also establish accountability through clarifications regarding the individuals responsible for the different aspects of the overall care of the patient. 2.

Research is not only done in the health research, but is done in many fields in a variety of ways. In the research process there are six major steps to follow; define the problem, review the literature, design the research, collect the data, analyze the data, and then draw conclusions. Defining the problem is basically exactly what it is, forming a question regarding the topic at hand
