Discuss the importance of nursing assessment in relation to the delivery of holistic care for a patient/client from your current practice experience For this assignment I will discuss the importance of an assessment tool in relation to a chosen patients holistic care needs. This will be done by exploring the significance of the tool and the strengths and weaknesses it imposes in terms of providing good care. Based on what the tool has informed the health profession I can then refer to what provisions would be put into place and how the care of the patient would be managed. To be able to fully understand what the assessment has provided for the patient, the effectiveness of it in meeting the care needs of the patient will be explored. I will focus upon the Braden Scale assessment tool throughout the essay with relevant literature included to support the meaning of the assessment and my understanding around it.
The Framework is to be used by both clients and professionals and identifies targets for both health and social care service providers to assist clients in their daily living requirements. It aims to provide more choice in care, tailored to the individual clients needs. (NSF 2004)This is particularly relevant with Spina Bifida as the condition and its symptoms vary enormously even within the same type and with a lesion in the same place. Often there will be a specialist nurse caring specifically with patients with spina bifida as the NSF aims to have care ‘provided by people with knowledge and experience of specific conditions’ (Lggulden

How does service availability affect access of care? Service availability affects access of care in several ways. Availability of service will assist in structuring individual’s immediate health needs, determine care facility and choose caregiver. Because care is tailored to meet specific individual need, overall health of patient is managed. For example, a patient may be in a care facility as a result of a chronic illness, other health needs will also be addressed.

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.

You may want to start drawing your concept map at this time. * Review head to toe physical assessment, and transfer to care map the relevant physical findings that correlate with your patient’s (s’) medical diagnosis(es) * Review remaining objective data (labs, meds, etc.) and transfer relevant items to diagnostics

Healthcare Compliance Hussien M. Hassen Western Governors University Healthcare Compliance Coders who work in inpatient healthcare facilities collect data from the patient record and assign appropriate codes to inpatient diagnosis, procedures, and abstract information according to the current standard classification systems. Inpatient coders understand the health organization’s rules, the prevailing government regulations, and the documentation standards. Effective communication skills are crucial to communicating with physicians and nurses. A comprehensive applicable coding knowledge enables the coder establish the diagnosis of diseases, procedures, outcomes, and complications from provider documentation (AHIMA, 2008). The professional coder understands the nature of events in an inpatient environment, including hospital induced conditions, such as nosocomial infections, and interprets them into accurate codes for billing, medical research, and statistics.
