Case Study: Canyon Transitional Rehabilitation Center

I have worked for the West Virginia Division of Rehabilitation Services (WVDRS) for over three years as a Rehabilitation Service Associate. During that time I have been given the opportunity to work with the clients that we serve on a regular basis. However, the practicum experience provided me with an opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the rehabilitation process and what it means to work as a team with individuals to achieve goals. The practicum experience also gave me insight on the processes involved in providing individuals information and assistance in finding solutions to help overcome or work through challenges encountered on a daily basis.

Grand Hospital was an early proponent of incorporating a health care information system (HIS) at its facility. Computerized clinical data may be stored in aging systems used in proprietary formats which may be difficult for other systems to access. The use of proprietary programs may lock customers into using only specific information systems. Grand Hospital’s HIS is a proprietary system that may not to be able to interact with other programs.

Hence, EHR 's are inherently complex amalgamations of diverse subsystems targeted toward varied users. The stakeholders are the users and must have a role in implementing any IT or EHR system into its work flow. An EHR can be customized to accommodate any environment depending on the level of expertise of the vendor and how long they have been in the business of creating an optimum system that 's customized to fit the organizations needs. For the most part, EHR 's must be designed for efficient, error free use. Ideally, an EHR is a system that encompass all the subsystems that make a hospital meet "meaningful use" criteria to acquire incentives for adopting EHR into practice. In the next five years, EHR adoption will no longer be a luxury, it will be a "MUST". EHR 's and other health information technology will be a necessity to practice medicine (econsultant.com, 2010). Rather than purchase several standalone systems, it would behoove one , in my opinion , to purchase an EHR that would satisfy all the needs of the stakeholders, the physician , nurses and other hospital staff and all parties involved in the tertiary practice too. Although LWMS 's budget is not large enough to accommodate the full cost of implementing an EHR,

Rehabilitation centers are designed to help “restore some or all of a patient’s physical, sensory and mental capabilities that were lost due to injury, illness or disease” (Farlex, 2012). Many doctors will prescribe rehabilitation services after a patient has suffered through an amputation, neurological issues, a variety of orthopedic injuries, spinal cord injuries, stroke or other traumatic brain injuries.

First, the process of acquiring a new EHR system will start with developing an office strategy based on different needs of our clinic. Some critical questions should be asked such as what would be the main goal to go paperless, what would be some features that my clinicians regard important, would my practitioners need a remote access, or would they be committed in learning and using

Nationally, EHRs have become fairly popular and it is essential to realize they are resourceful to health care professionals. Canada Health Infoway INC. continues to help the federal government present EHRs to various health care institutions. The organization only puts funds forward for hospitals and clinics they believe the equipment will be successful in and consider the territorial and provincial standards. Also, Canada Health Infoway INC. plans on creating an authorized agreement for each individual territorial and provincial assignment, and guarantee that they fulfill the requirements.

Imagine being put in a position where you needed guidance to better your life from a constant battle from addiction, may it be substance abuse or alcoholism. Where would you turn if you needed help? What options would be suitable for you as a individual? What if you didn’t have family to support you in making a positive change for your life? Having said that, I have found the ABC Recovery Center to be a great resource for people who need this sort of help of fighting this unfortunate disease. This institutions initial goals are to provide personalized treatment plans to help each individual with addiction, have it be alcohol or drugs. I personally chose this organization because of my cousin Ricky, he was addicted to heroine and it got to a point where his family had given up hope on the outcome of his life. Going through ups and downs with the legal system, he was going down a spiral. My family needed him to get the help, being that he had two twin sons on the way in November 2008. My cousin finally seeked some help and checked himself into the ABC Recovery and took the needed steps to move on from this chapter of his life. With the support and positive environment around him he gained knowledge to overcome this disease. This organization provides recovery treatments, housing, detox,and other curricular activities to make it a more welcoming space for people to enjoy their time in recovery while staying focused to a healthier lifestyle. Also, I chose

“However, even in the midst of those successes, it became clear that there are key healthcare problems that ‘siloed’ EHRs do not solve. Examples of problems that could only be addressed by interoperability included support for the patient across transitions of care, the ability to perform longitudinal analyses of care and public-health needs.” (3).

On June 8, 2015, I did my practicum under my supervise Mrs. Donna DeLucca. Mrs. DeLucca discussed the rules and guidelines of the Louisiana Rehabilitation Services. Also, my daily routine includes review case material, process referrals, case finding, and clerical work, answer phone calls that she receives from her clients and vendors..

The Transitional Rehabilitation Housing Pilot (TRHP) was intended to transition hospitalized forensic patients to the community. Twenty clients and their clinicians in two Ontario urban communities completed the measure of functioning, substance use, improvement, social assistance, and quality of life. The consumers additionally replied to open- ended inquiries about the validity of the program and living in the community on their recovery. With fifteen percent of the consumers re-offended, fifty-five percent experienced re-hospitalization; in any case, brief re-hospitalization was seen as a component of the recovery method. The level of community implementation was steady over time and thirty-five percent of consumers had a decline in the

The literature supports the idea that Health Information Technology, HIT, and EHRs hold tremendous value in Long Term Care facilities, LTC, especially in the areas of improved patient safety, operational efficiencies and reduced costs (Cherry, 2009). “The most often cited keys to gaining the full benefit of technology in healthcare are: interoperability; integration among clinical systems; standardized language; decision support; and physician usage” (Cherry, 2009). “EMR systems must allow for authentication of information contained in the electronic entry; system back-up, availability and protection from disaster; contingency plans to allow access to patient information in the event of a system crash; and integrity of clinical records” (Zuber,

I recently encountered a group of your colleagues at the Nashville airport a while back and we conversed about CCA operations. The thought of for-profit correctional/rehabilitation centers is quite interesting and is riddle with potential ethical dilemmas all over. While the mission to advance corrections through innovative results is a great approach, I personally like the other aspect published on CCA’s website, which is the commitment to providing reentry solutions to allow inmates the ability to break the cycle of crime (CCA, 2016). This portion of CCA’s mission, if fully followed, would certainly add value to the world rather than the historical approach of purely offering holding cells. Furthermore, it will certainly be interesting to

As an employe of Evergreen health and rehabilitation center. I am concerned what little knowledge our staff have upon completing their oreition course. the nurse staff should be able to know all procedure and be able to follow them. I am asking for your helping in changing the way employees are trained for the safety of our residents.As you aware our company has been under great stress with not having enough staff to fulfill our required duties.However, that is even more of reason to ensure are staff understand how and why we need to follow company and state guidelines.
