Santulli, DC,USN Chief, Fixed Prosthodontics Naval Postgraduate School Bethesda, MD FIXED PROSTHODONTICS REVIEW DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT PLANNING CONCEPTS Diagnosis- A data collection process used to identify an existing diseased or abnormal condition, to investigate the condition and determine its cause. It is based on the gathered diagnostic information. Prognosis- A prediction of a probable development and outcome of a disease. It involves subjective probability and can be formulated using frequencies along with clinical experiences and evidenced-based clinical studies.
The compiled data should be composed of specific measurements, input from employees as to suggestions for improvement and concerns as well as patient care results and input. The eminence and accessibility of the company’s resources must be evaluated first. Quality improvement (QI) measures the delivery of medical services and the outcomes like patient health status, mortality, and patient satisfaction (Hughes, 2012). Total Quality Management (TQM) is a model, which includes the organization’s management, staff working together as a team, outlines procedures, and policies, promotes methods of intellectual rational, and a modification to produce an atmosphere for excellence (Hughes, 2012). The construction of Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) benefits the process of TQM; with the attitude that every chance an organization has should be an opening for improvement (Hughes,

In this paper I will discuss the importance of a framework of praxis, it’s application to the APN, what influences the framework and employing the framework into context. Praxis Overview Praxis has been defined in a number of ways for different disciplines. For the discipline of nursing it has been described as the art of the coming together of science and practice and linking practice and theory (Kilpatrick, 2008). Praxis can arise at an individual or a group level. At the individual level it is recognizing and reflecting on an issue that restricts one’s abilities and experiences, then taking action to change the issue for themselves and others affected (Chinn & Kramer, 2011).
Introduction As the contemporary society forges ahead amazingly, the public demand has become increasingly diversified. Advanced Practice Nursing (APN) has been particularly prominent in health care discourse since the 20th century (Brown, 1998). As many of APN’s job scope are overlapping with the traditional medical role, frequently, they are struggled to articulate what it is as nursing-based care providers that they uniquely bring to their patients (Dunphy & Winland-Brown, 2006). Caring is a word often associated with nursing, and it is one of the symbolic characters to differentiate APN from medical team. A transformation conceptual model, the Circle of Caring (Figure 1) is developed by Dunphy and Winland-Brown in year 1998 especially for APN in North America (Dunphy & Winland-Brown, 2006).
This assignment will critically analyse the concept of supportive and palliative care critiquing the emerging definitions and philosophies. The perceive facilitators and barriers to supportive and palliative will be evaluated and clinical experiences of supportive and palliative care given to Mrs Majore, An 80years pancreatic cancer patient cared for in the community will be reflected on. Finally recommendations for the development of optimal supportive and palliative care will be looked into. Patients name has being disguised to maintain confidentiality. Palliative care had been defined by so many authors in different ways.
Description of the Theory This approach adapts to the idea that individual theories and frameworks form together for a interwoven framework utilizing several theories. The first theory model is discussed is the Medical Model. This model supports the idea that someone is ill due to a biological factor that can be cured with medical attention/medicine. According to Stober & Grant (2006), “Thus the medical model replies on a number of components: a distressed client, an explanatory theory for the distress, a diagnosis based on a diagnostic system, and an accompanying treatment derived from the theory, with the resulting outcome seen as due to the specific ingredients of that treatment” (p. 356). Lowman was a key contributor to this model.
