Emergencies In A Home Environment Case Study

S (situation): Hi, my name Kelsey and I am a nurse in the emergency department. I am calling about Shannon O’Reilly’s most recent laboratory results.

The software will be tested regularly in test computers that have the same specifications as the hospital’s computers. Testing will be done outside of the hospital and with backup information to ensure the integrity of the hospital’s data. During testing, the developers will do simulation of events and would verify the reliability and performance of the software.

Over the past decade, virtually every major industry invested heavily in computerization. The heath care industry was no exception to the rise in the use of technology. These technologies are starting to allow health care practitioners to offer faster, and more efficient patient care than ever before. No doubt this is the right direction we expect health care to follow.

The meeting was scheduled during a time I would be out of time so I could not be there in person, but I was able call in to listen and contribute to the meeting. Prior to the meeting my preceptor shared an article about a similar simulation. Kilgore, Goodwin, and Harding (2013) discussed the primary focus of the simulation they conducted was to provide constructive feedback to the students to improve their skills in communication, delegation, conflict resolution, priority setting, clinical reasoning, and psychomotor skills. The meeting consisted of several faculty that had initiated and planned the upcoming simulation, and many of the same concepts outlined in the article would be addressed in the scenarios developed. The bulk of the meeting consisted of reviewing the potential patients for the simulation, which included names, diagnosis, complaints, and expected outcomes for the scenarios. Some changes had to be made for one of the previously

Participants reaffirmed that the guidance of the nursing team at the moment of discharge were specific to the care in relation to the drug therapy or to invasive devices, such as probes and tracheostomies, without a focus on the guidance about the general care related to the chronic health conditions and the importance of following-up the child after the hospital discharge. One can say that the factors associated with the readmission of children are related to the age group of infants, with respiratory problems associated with chronic conditions, besides the lack of effectiveness in the post-discharge follow-up. Accordingly, it is relevant to reflect about the role of the nursing team in the planning of interventions capable of providing the adaptation of children and their families over the period of admission, at the moment of discharge and in the post-discharge. The combination of guidance of verbal and written strategies can help us to understand the trajectory of illness and adaptation, thereby avoiding

The purpose of faculty training in the nursing profession is to provide program evaluation to examine evidence-based practice in a simulation of care and provide safe nursing practice. Patients with a tracheostomy are high risk and have numerous problems for nurses to find because of respiratory problems. In addition, understanding the facility policy regarding tracheostomy care, the faculty must possess specific knowledge and skills to provide satisfactory care. Evidence-based research has provided the organization for nurses to improve nursing care standards and practice regarding tracheostomy care (Schreiber, 2015). On the other hand, the patient simulation laboratory (SIM lab) coincides with this setting because it uses state-of-the-art

The research question addressed by the article titled, “The Effect of Unit-Based Simulation on Nurses’ Identification of Deteriorating Patients” by Disher et al., are: 1. What is the effect of using unit-based, high-fidelity simulation as an educational tool on RNs’ knowledge levels in handling acute respiratory deteriorating patients on step-down cardiovascular units in a community hospital? 2. What is the effect of using unit-based, high-fidelity simulation as an educational tool on RNs’ self-confidence levels in handling acute respiratory deteriorating patients on step-down cardiovascular units in a community hospital? (Disher et al., 2014)

Through the convenience sampling, 90 clients were recruited as research participants were in the waiting room of the respiratory clinic. 60 subjects agreed to attend a support group for socialization with each other. 30 of 60 clients were assigned to participate in the presentation and therapeutic exercises by the instructor. The instructor group divided into halves: 15 clients received instructions with family caregiver and the other clients without a caregiver. The second 30 clients received written materials and allowed to access the website for video presentation and exercises. Half of website group assigned to the family caregiver and the other half without a caregiver. The last 30 subjects were assigned as a control group, and half of these clients received usual care with family caregiver and other 15 clients without a family caregiver. The data was collected by the pulmonary functional status survey, 30 items, five points, Likert-type scale.

against the government included starting a petition, planning a strike, issuing newspapers about what they were doing, addressing the citizens about how fascist the government is during town hall, planning a court case and planning a revolution. Every time we were in the process of an action, our party was always countered by the government when they used their emergency law. This emergency law gives the government the power to create ANY law since they did not specifically outline what an emergency situation was. From the moment it was not clearly defined and created, this law presented itself to be a fascist move. For example, my party started a petition so when the government found out with their “emergency” law they created a law stating

In observation, (Fahnestock, McComb, & Deshmukh, 2013) stated "Information technologies are transforming the way healthcare is delivered. Innovations such as computer-based patient records, hospital information systems, computer-based decision support tools, community health information networks and new ways of distributing health information.” (p.3.2). In the sector of delivering healthcare using technology, has made it easier for healthcare professionals to access medical records, digitization of prescriptions and view test results. With the use of high-performance devices being used in the hospital, helps to make the jobs of healthcare professionals a little easier. As well as relieve anxiety from anxious patients that may be awaiting lab results to come back. Therefore, IT devices and services has been and continues to be a tremendous help and game changer for the healthcare system. However, there is still a lot of work to be done to help shape and reform the healthcare

Other healthcare organizations have integrated the design of healthcare technologies within the organization. For such organizations, the CIO takes part in the analysis and assessments of the proposed healthcare information technology (HIT) applications. The CIO further manages the development, design and implementation of the HITs. In addition, healthcare organizations are rapidly acquiring HITs. Therefore, there is an increasing need to train the healthcare staff to ensure they can use the systems. The CIO, therefore, plans and supervises the development of training methods for the management and technical staff on the use and possible maintenance of the HITs (Tan, Payton, & Tan, 2010).

The hole is made to help the patient breathe. A tracheostomy usually is temporary, although patient can have it long term or even permanently. Patients with a tracheostomy are considered to be high risk and have numerous complexities for nurses to consider because of respiratory problems. In addition to understanding facility policy regarding tracheostomy care, nurses must possess the specific knowledge and skills to provide successful care. Evidence-based research has provided the foundation for nurses to improve nursing care standards and practice regarding tracheostomy care (Schreiber, 2015). The faculty must be qualified and knowledgeable about simulation lab (SIM lab) in conjunction with tracheostomy care as teaching-learning strategies in order to be successfully teach their students within their work environment. The SIM lab is an important learning tool because it is team based faculty learning that consistently improves academic outcomes by shifting the instructional focus from knowledge transmission to knowledge application. The Capstone project is devised to plan and develop faculty skills in teaching with technology that incorporated the use of SIM lab. The purpose of faculty training is to examine evidence based practice in simulation of care and nursing

Emergency management faces many challenges in today’s modern society. In the years prior to 9/11 emergency management was primarily focused on natural disasters. That has since changed; we now face a diverse variety of risks and hazards on a constant basis. As we continue to grow in population current and newer have compounded into more problems that emergency planner must face and find solutions for.

The ideal learning practice for the emergency airway management (EAM) team is an enhancement of the existing practice. The theoretical basis for learning in the ideal practice remains sociocultural although behavioral and cognitive aspects are embedded to promote education efficiency. In the ideal practice learning is a collective activity shared by all members of the team. Therefore learning activities focus on the collective learning of the team as well as on the learning needs of individual members. The ideal practice provides a structured method for integrating new members into the community of practice. The development of both technical and nontechnical skills occur through the use of both contextualized and decontextualized activities both for learning efficiency and to ensure patient safety. Simulation serves as the major technology tool for initial development of technical and nontechnical skills and for assessing problem solving in unfamiliar situations. A structured process of ongoing assessment and performance improvement is integrated into the ideal learning practice. This assessment is multidimensional and focuses on learning and performance of both the individual and the team as a whole. Finally, ongoing performance improvement activities support ongoing learning not by focusing on identifying deficiencies, but by

A new Neighbors Emergency Center opened in the last year on FM 2100, Doctors office located right next to the Dentist, and eye care office, on FM 2100 and Krenek Rd. No hospital in Crosby, the closest one in in Baytown, fifteen miles away.No mental health offices, are located in Crosby, the person would be brought to a hospital, were they can be evaluated, and recommended for that type of hospital. There are no other signs of alternative services like healers, herbalists, herbal stores, palm readers, acupunctures, chiropractors, if someone would be interested in those kind of services, the best option would be to drive into Houston twenty-five miles away.
