P1: You need to explain the function of research in health and social care. Research by definition is a planned process where information has been collected and analysed for a specific purpose; the findings are then reported and published. Research has many functions such as; identifying needs, highlighting gaps in provision, planning provision, informing policy or practice, extending knowledge and understanding, improving practice, aiding reflection, allowing progress to be monitored and examining topics of contemporary importance. Firstly identifying needs in health and social care is central to a service user’s care as the professionals need to identify the needs of the individual to adapt the care to be specific to the service user.
Applying Standardized Terminologies in Practice Standardized Nursing terminologies (SNTs) are classifications, or taxonomies created to be shared among healthcare users. In the nursing field, the use of SNTs is essential to help nurses to document accurately, and clearly patient care information. The use and implementation of Standardized Nursing Terminologies add descriptions of nursing practice into the health record in a way that nursing personnel understand. The use of standardized terminologies is vital to the development of nursing as a profession. This article main purpose is to provide evidence of the importance and application of standardized terminologies in the Nursing practice.
Perhaps the research could be actively going out and speaking to someone receiving care, whether it is in a care home or a hospital they need to find out what the patients really want from the health carers. Highlight
rvice RequestDetermination of Requirements The proposed solution for SR-pf-001 must “An evaluation for the development of a patient management system for the tracking of patient check-in, appointments and surgery.” It is the hopes of the organization that the proposed solution would fulfill the hopes of the organization which are, “We would like a more unified patient experience.” (Cite) The user needs of this request are clearly stated as a patient management system that can track a patient’s progress through the system, tracking patient activity, focusing primarily on appointment scheduling, check-ins and surgical experiences. With this understood, we began a needs assessment which would determine what the user requirements would be for a solution system. The primary goal of most systems is to supply whatever tools and information the user of that system will need. The problem presented by Patton-Fuller Community Hospital’s service request (SR-pf-001), stated that the hospital needed a way to track patient activity, to create a more unified patient experience through an enhanced information management system. To determine user needs we first gathered information through: User feedback generated through user interviews and questionnaires.
This report will also explain the importance of stakeholders an how quality is identified. The review of the purpose of physician and patient pertaining to Quality Improvement will be discussed in this report. Why Quality Management is necessary in the healthcare
The Patient Safety Indicators (PSIs)- The PSIs are a set of quality measures that use hospital inpatient discharge data to provide a perspective on patient safety. Specifically, the PSIs identify problems that patients experience through contact with the health care system and that are likely amenable to prevention by implementing system level changes. The problems identified are referred to as complications
Documentation of the nursing care plan is important in order for the patient to receive proper care. All health team members can refer to the record to carry out the necessary steps within the plan (Module 6: Nursing Care Plan, 2012). A nursing care plan is defined by the nursing process. This process involves a scientific approach to problem-solving concerning patient care. The nursing process is individualized to each patient.
Research in a Health and Social care setting In this essay, you will find out why research is useful in a Health and Social Care setting. Functions of research: One function of research is identifying needs. Health and Social care workers use research to identify the needs of an individual. The information from the research allows the professional to make decisions about suitable treatments and care plans suited to the individual. For example a doctor may take blood pressure and the heart rate of a patient and use it to find a treatment.
Information System Briefing This is a briefing of an information system. It will discuss the process for selecting and acquiring an information system, explain how the organizations goals drive the selection of the information system, and identify the roles each of the organizations’ stakeholders play in the selection and acquisition process. To computerize a health care organization is an important decision and a positive one with lasting benefits for the organization. Finding the best solution to a health care organizations unique information system needs to be simple. Some of the critical characteristics that a health care information system needs to consider when selecting and acquiring the information system are: • Security and confidentiality of information and health records should be ensured, • Process of standardization and
Discuss the importance of research in health and social care To support care information gathered from research can be used by health care proffesionals so they can give the best possible care and treatment. It is important to ensure that the right people have access to the right information at the right time so they can provide you with the right care. To improve health and social care services for everyone Information is used for purposes beyond your direct care: Commissioning The people who plan health and care services (commissioners) need good information about the types of illnesses people have and the treatments they receive, as well as the result of that care or treatment. They can then check to make sure that people are getting the services that are right for them. Public health Some information is used for public health.
