Interdisciplinary Case Management Amy E Plott RN Western Governors University Healthcare Issues and Their Importance Mr. Trosack has several healthcare issues that must be reviewed and addressed prior to discharge from the hospital. The case manager, and chosen interdisciplinary team, should evaluate and prioritize the issues found when providing a discharge plan of care. Mr. Trosack’s most pressing health issue is his recent hip fracture and subsequent total hip replacement (THR). Mr. Trosack is accustomed to being self-sufficient and will now have difficulty with mobility. This will affect his activities of daily living (ADL’s) therefore making it more difficult for him to care for himself without some type of assistance.
The medication you will be taking is very important and that you take it on time. As there are some complications from having hypertension and letting it go uncontrolled.

I feel if we were to take away all their independence, take away their choice, it could lead to the service users having behaviour problems and also in the long term they will lose ability to do skills that they once were very capable of doing. 2. (1.2) Analyse reasons why individuals may need support to maintain, regain or develop skills for everyday life The reason why people would need support to maintain, regain or develop skills for everyday life can be very different. People could have different health problems that affect their skills for everyday life. A few examples on what could have an effect are: * Physical health: feeling unwell with a fever leads to tiredness and can make you unable to do usual daily activities.
Training on diabetes management is provided considering that it is quite challenging. If IDDM is not treated, it results both in acute and severe lasting complications. Long-term complications encompass kidney failure, eye damage, heart disease, foot ulcers, and stroke (Cooke & Plotnick, 2008). Acute complications encompass nonketotic hyperosmolar coma and diabetic ketoacidosis (Chiang et al.,
In the scenario, Emergency department staff members were likely shaken by this poor outcome of Mr. B., and would be motivated to change to a safer model just to avoid a repeat in the future. Staff members may be reluctant to change because of established habits in patient flow. This reluctance to change would be an identifiable restraining force, which opposes process improvement. Implementing a model which allows for rapid, safe adjustment to increasing acuity would help avoid poor outcomes in the future. Follow-up is
Left side failure is the most common failure which leads to fluids backing up in your lungs leading to shortness of breath. Right side failure leads to swelling in your feet and legs. There are several factors that can lead to congestive heart failure, CAD, hypertension, myocarditis, myocardial infarction, congenital heart defect diabetes.

They are often related. An unbalanced diet, age, not enough exercise and lifestyle choices, such as smoking, can produce both conditions. Hypertension can cause arteriosclerosis by making the artery walls thick and less elastic, which speeds up the forming of fatty deposits in blood vessels. Hypertension can be a result of arteriosclerosis due to the artery walls thickening and blood flow is restricted. Confirmed Physical Health, online classroom, and learning guide HLTAP401B.
If we look at Peter with a holistic attitude, we can see there is far more than just the fact that he has suffered a myocardial infarction. There are several other wider determinants that have affected his health. Firstly, if we focus on Peters’ home and family life, it becomes evident that Peter is feeling stressed and anxious about supporting his wife and two teenage children. It is well known that that stress can affect an individuals’ health as it causes hormones such as cortisol and adrenaline to remain in the body as it tries to cope with a stressful situation. Short term this can be good for you however over a prolonged period it can have an adverse effect on our health.
Discuss specific actions a person can take to reduce the risk of the selected diseases. The best way to avoid heart attack for people who have these uncontrollable risks is schedule regular visits with their doctor, and exercise as much as possible. High cholesterol is another major risk that many people suffer from. There are two kinds of cholesterol. LDL (the bad kind) and HDL (the good kind).
This high incidence of foot ulcerations is one of the reasons this condition for patients with DM remains a major health issue. Not only can this overall long-term effect of having an ulcer lead to a limb amputation, it can substantially reduce these patients quality of life. The research (e.g., Dorresteijn, et al., 2014; Dorresteijn & Valk, 2012; Woodbury, et al., 2013), demonstrates that simply treating a foot ulcer is challenging for a diabetic patient and can significantly impact their holistic well-being.
