Being an x-ray technician so much more than just detecting broken bones, it also recognizes diseases. An x-ray technician is like the doctor lookout or support that’s why they take the images and have to follow the doctors’ order. Keeping the patients and yourself secured from the radiation is very important part of the job. The education requirements of an x-ray technician requires a two year associates degree in radiology is a two year associates degree which is commonly held by professional x-ray technician. To enter an associates degree program most schools may require just a high school diploma or General Educational Development (GED); while in some states they require technicians to be licensed.
These revisions have streamlined the performances, the standards of care for patients and eliminated certain requirements. Accuracy of patient identification by using two patient identifiers is to facilitate health care providers in patient identification. They accomplish this by asking name and date of birth ensuring they have the right patient. Improvement of communication to patients by expediting test results can enable them in serious health care decisions. This can alleviate their stress about tests that might involve threatening diseases.
As such, patients who walked into the Cancer Institute knew by the very reputation and geographical ties to other research institutions, that they would be subject of various research protocols and the newest and cutting edge treatment protocols. The institute’s extremely intelligent staff allowed for such complicated protocols to be initiated under close guidance. While other hospitals may have struggled to keep up with the rapidly changing treatment plans, the staff at Dana-Farber worked their hardest to ensure their patients were receiving the best and safest possible care. Among one of the most widely used oncologic treatments is that of chemotherapy. Chemotherapy exploits the uncontrolled growth characteristics of cancer cells to target them for death.
P1) Evaluate the opportunity. Examine Newland’s strategy in light of the special circumstances in this industry. What is your recommendation for moving the company forward? The strategy for Newland was to find a proven market demand for the SRS (Stone Removal Stent) so it could be acquired. The original idea was to produce a product that would minimize discomfort for patients.
To do this, even before I meet the client for the first time I receive a client's brief profile from the agency. That tells me basic and essential information about the client. I learn about his/hers level of injuries, if he/she has any other handicap particularly about any visual, speech or hearing impairment or any other cognitive condition. When I arrive to the client's house, I have a handover from my colleague where he/she lets me know any other information that might be useful for me to know. Also I have written daily importance information on daily records sheets.
Since the steroid therapy document is being made to other hospitals or scientist and there are no other competing instructions, ethos is not as necessary as in the blood transfusion error letter. The main source of ethos in the blood transfusion letter arises from the seriousness of life or death while performing the transfusion. Pathos is also used vastly throughout both documents. Both appeal to several of the audience’s values, including:• Life• Time• Health• Safety• AwarenessFinal ThoughtsBy completing a rhetorical analysis of these two documents, I have better knowledge with the structure and purpose of creating a memo out of external information such as an instruction document or an error letter. I noticed that these documents are highly important to performing medical tasks and procedures that allow patients to feel comfortable and in the blood transfusion case, to live.
Cultural Considerations of Robotic Surgery January 23, 2013 Abstract This paper discusses the cultural considerations of robotic surgery. Nowadays technology has shaped and improved the way humans live. This includes the technological advancements in the field of medicine. Robotic surgery is one today’s breakthrough, however through the use of this technology it has modified the work flow and roles of the doctor and nurses inside the operating room. Moreover, this paper compares how this technology is accessible and what this technology promises that it has been considered as a standard procedure for surgeries.
Research Paper- CHE125 Allison Leigeb The medical field is one of the most important aspects of our society today. It’s a fact that there will always be a need for medical attention and healthcare, no matter the state of the economy or the size of a population. The two careers I decided to research are both in the medical field, and both are stable jobs that have an ultimate goal of helping people heal. They are an orthopedic surgeon and a physician’s assistant. I have personal experience with learning about these two jobs- I shadowed numerous orthopedic sports medicine surgeons and physician’s assistants during my senior year of high school as part as an academic internship.
Harrison Pajovich Mrs. Valloor Career Exploration 7 May 2012 Biomedical Engineer Biomedical engineers apply engineering principles and medicinal science to improve healthcare. This includes researching, designing and developing medical products, such as joint replacements or robotic surgical instruments. Biomedical engineers also design and modify equipment for clients with special needs and work in rehabilitation settings. Biomedical Engineering originated during World War II. Biologists were appointed to do work on advances in radar technology.
Abstract National Patient Safety Goal 07.05.01 Preventing Infection after Surgery is a multi-level, interdisciplinary approach to healthcare promotion. Surgical site infections not only increase the length of hospital stays and costs to patients, but they also increase the risk of mortality and morbidity post-operatively. This paper focuses on the ways to prevent infections before, during, and after surgery. Preventing Infections after Surgery NPSG 07.05.01 Introduction The Joint Commission (TJC) is a national organization that sets standards for healthcare agencies to meet and adhere to, to ensure a culture of safety for all patients by encouraging patients and families to become partners with healthcare professionals in protecting patients from harm. In 2002 TJC published its first annual set of National Patient Safety Goals (NPSGs) to require healthcare agencies to focus on specific, high-risk issues in nursing care (Ignatavicius & Workman, 2012).
