It is the most essential elements of information to guide the clinician the necessary care for the patient. Collecting or gathering a patient’s health history is the most important to begin the patient’s medical intervention. According to Lloyd and Craig (2007), providing a comprehensive health history will enhance the care of a patient. The article discusses the process of taking a patient’s history to provide a beneficial guide to nurses and clinicians who can use this approach when performing an assessment.

Reflection as a learning tool allows me to identify the positive and negative aspects of my practice and to draw upon previous experiences and apply them to new situations “Reflective practice has, however, the potential to help practitioners in all fields unlock the tacit knowledge and understanding that they have of their practice and use this to generate knowledge for future practice”. (Schutz, 2007 pg.26) The clinical competency I have chosen in this report is Phlebotomy. As part of my role as a health care support worker within a District Nursing team Phlebotomy is one of my primary duties. The clinical skill I have chosen to reflect upon within this account is venepuncture.

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,

Project Report Interview with Ronald G. Spaeth Gwendolyn Clark Kaplan University Project Report The purpose of this paper is to submit a project report based on the interview with Ronald G. Spaeth. This project report should include but not limited to Speth’s work, educational background, awards highlighted, and his philosophies and strategies, as well as my opinion on them. It should also include the school of management theory he mostly used and why, the obstacles he believe that are the most challenging in healthcare today, and what lesson I have learn from this interview. BACKGROUND INFORMATION with philosophies and strategies From 1972 through 1983 Ronald G. Spaeth, served Evanston Hospital in various roles and from 1983 through 2002 he served as president and chief executive officer of Highland Park Hospital (Grazier, 2005).

Service Management in Health Care Introduction to Service Management: SRV301 Instructor: November 5, 2012 The purpose of this paper is to explore the viability of a new service offering in a medical practice after exploring the current services and ascertaining the appropriateness of the service and the benefit to both patient and practice. When attempting to decide what field to pursue I felt it made sense to explore an area of which I have some familiarity; I therefore chose to explore the medical field to try to discover a service that will help not just our patients but also the practices and the way we interact with our patients. When trying to ascertain what service would be most useful in a medical practice there are some things that need to be taken into consideration. First and foremost any idea must first protect the patient and their right to privacy. Any idea must also take into consideration the company’s mission statement and values.
The AETC have established the SoP for ENPs around the model of care (MOC) (Lowe 2010 p) that was based upon the Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPG) cited in the Alfred Health website (2012). The areas in the SoP involve prescribing medications, ordering tests, diagnosing results and admitting and discharging patients (Lowe 2010 p). The assessment of minor injuries or illnesses and initiation of treatments are also part of the ENP’s SoP (Lowe 2010 p). Lastly required at the AETC the ENP must also attend educational classes with other ED medical staff, and further additional classes that will identify the gaps between the ENP’s skill and knowledge and own professional development (Lowe 2010 p80). In comparison, Fry’s research (2011, p58) indicated that the NP in the critical care department (CCD) have separated areas which are adult, paediatric and neonate, however all three areas can fall under the same SoP.
There are different steps that a professional will be able to take in order to reach the goals that they have put into place for themselves. There are resources out there that are in place to help students reach their goals such as training and the option of continued education. I have chosen the field of Healthcare Administration as my career path. When I look at the career opportunities available within the health care, a lot of the positions are looking for people who have the necessary degrees and who also have the experience in their work past. So if I use my degree to continue on my path in the insurance agency I have the experience going for me already and now that I have my health administration degree my opportunities in the company will open up for sure.
