Unfortunately, with five medication aides and two managers all doing filing, records often get misplaced, whether they are put in the wrong section of the expand-a-file, filed under the wrong section of a resident’s binder or accidently get deposited into the secure shredding container. The implementation of a new health documentation system would be a marked improvement to the current system.
In fact, in some instances, doctors find it more difficult to complete with their already hectic and demanding schedule. The article describes the medical records used in the UK which is an envelope of information that follows a patient their entire life. The providers know what to expect when viewing these records and are able to efficiently and effectively use them as a resource when seeing patients. A main takeaway from this article regarding medical records from the UK is that they must be well kept and organized and also keep the same geographical layout and consistency to be effective. By gathering and reporting information in this way, it allows the provider to be concise. The short notes are almost like clues for a future provider about what the previous encounter entailed and how the issue has progressed or regressed. The article discusses VAMP, the “Value Added Medical Products” computer system which is how the United Kingdom does electronic medical records. Their goal was to replace paper records with this type of system, however it did not work out that way. In this type of reporting, there is both a medical file and a therapeutic file which allow the doctors to separate what they are recording. There are many negatives and positives of a computer system such as this one such as it may remind a physician of a treatment or prescription that was given

In my role with Hygienic Smiles Dental Hygiene Office as an office assistant, I managed and organized charts and files of patients daily, to ensure that all information was accurate and up to date. I can apply this same level of attention to detail to tasks such as preparing income tax returns or even making sure that the copier never runs out of paper. Furthermore, because I highly value the confidentiality of our patients, I maintained professionalism when handling sensitive or personal information belonging to them. Working at Hygienic Smiles also tested my ability to adapt and become capable of learning new software, such as ABELdent Dental Practice Management Software used at the office or Microsoft Excel and Taxprep.

A patient has just left the office after having an outpatient surgery procedure. As you get ready to put away the patient’s file, you realize that the patient has forgotten to take his prescriptions and after-care instruction sheets home with him. It is vital for proper healing and recovery for the patient to have these documents. You know you will have to contact this patient so you look inside for his contact information and signed HIPAA Release of Information form.
Patients, while receiving treatment and after they receive treatment remember when an employee went out of his or her way to make their day better. We need to do everything we can to make them feel better and more comfortable. We need to always be encouraging to the patients, but not give them false hope. I think that this is kind of a fine line because sometimes we just want to tell the patient that everything will be alright even if we know that things are not going to be. Also we need to be comforting to the patients and listen to what they have to say. Even if we are really busy and have a lot of patients in the waiting room we still need to try to be respectful and listen to their stories about what happened to them. We need to be able to make each and every one of our patients feel special and let them know that they are our primary
According to the survey, our patients didn’t enjoy their experience before their appointment. 73% of patients said that the receptionist did not greet them immediately. I know this was the case when I walked in for my meeting. The receptionist was on her phone texting instead of being aware of patients that could potentially be walking into the facility. Although the receptionist doesn’t greet them right away, 67% of people agree she was respectful and courteous. However, the biggest issue lies with patients not understanding the co-pay and possibility of additional costs. This is a problem that can be fixed easily, we just need to retrain our receptionists to greet each patient with a warm smile, and how to fully explain the costs that patients are required to pay. The receptionist play an important role in customer service, therefore they must be at the top of their game at all times. In order to fix the overall patient experience at our urgent care facility, I think we need to send out more surveys and bring back the follow-up calls. The follow up calls are important because patients will be able to express any concerns they had with their visit and we would be able to
Oral health care is an integral part of the US healthcare system. In 2012, Sen. Bernie Sanders introduced “The Comprehensive Dental Reform Act”, which aimed on expanding dental coverage, accessible oral health care centers, increase in dental workforce, enhanced dental education and encourage dental research. (Congress.gov). The ACA, aim to curb the national health spending, by facilitating the affordability to quality care through private and public health insurance. The purpose of this bill is to cut the healthcare costs and to reverse the “silent epidemic” of dental health status (surgeon gen). This dental bill with an integrated approach towards the preventive and comprehensive oral healthcare is estimated to provide coverage to almost 17.7 million adults. (ADA
And the fact he deemed it unnecessary to speak to the patient is a huge violation of the doctrine of consent and portrayed him to be an insufficient health leader by not following the guidelines put forth in all hospitals to abide by to ensure it’s best to the patients. His incompliant ways can affect the future of the hospital putting in jeopardy many jobs and lives.
Patient safety is number one in hospitals. Every staff member that comes into contact with a patient should always have the question, “Will the patient be safe?” in the back of
Being respectful and considerate to your patient is necessary for providing excellent patient care. It is also important to be respectful and considerate to your colleagues; arriving on time, being a team player, doing above the minimum as often as you can are all excellent ways to show this. It is essential to ensure that the workplace is an “environment in which all colleagues enjoy equal respect and where they can advance to their full potential.” (Professionalism initiative, 2012) If everyone treated their colleagues with respect, it would make the workplace very hospitable and help provide better patient care, which is the main purpose of nursing. An environment without respect can become hostile and impair the growth of your colleagues and yourself which can lead to giving substandard care to your patients and their families.
