Evaluation Of A New Program

Issue that in my opinion would affect the evaluation of a domestic violence program would be lack of information on the victim and abuser. Another affect on evaluation would be is there a data base on domestic violence crime. Is the data assessable, is there a statistic rate what is the ratio of women, men, and children been victim of domestic violence. Other issue that could affect the planning of domestic violence is the long term affect of being a victim of domestic violence. According to (N.D), "[The long term effects of domestic violence have not begun to be fully documented. Battered women suffer physical and mental problems as a result of domestic violence. Battering is the single major cause of injury to women, more significant that auto accidents, rapes, or muggings. In fact, the emotional and psychological abuse inflicted by batterers may be more costly to treat in the short-run than physical injury. Many of the physical injuries sustained by women seem to cause medical difficulties as women grow older. Arthritis, hypertension and heart disease have been identified by battered women as directly caused or aggravated by domestic violence suffered early in their adult lives.

Hypertension (HTN) is a chronic illness that serves as a main risk factor for cardiovascular disease (Hanus, Simoes, Amboni, Ceretta, & Tuon, 2015). Although medication can manage HTN appropriately, lifestyle modifications make a substantial difference as well. However, many patients go through behavior stages in which he or she contemplate on making the necessary changes to improve their health. One solution to the problem is the development of an educational Hypertension Intervention and Follow-Up program (HIFP). Studies have shown that active educational interventions that incorporate small groups are more effective than passive delivery of educational materials (Pimenta, Caldiera, & Mamede,

This project was an observational program evaluation. The purpose of this project was to evaluate 30-day readmission, medication compliance and outcomes of patient who received traditional care (services provided prior to October 1, 2015) to that of patient who received care from Post Myocardial Infarction Transitional Care Program and Advanced Practice Provider Transitional Care Clinic (which started October 1, 2015).

Patients might become frustrated because they do not see the doctor who performed surgery or required the hospitalization. Sometimes the personality and “bed-side” manner of doctors can contribute to communication problems. In addition doctors may use clinical terms that the patient doesn’t understand and confusion can result.

How hospitals provide care has become as important as the care provided. This paper will establish the connection between the perception of quality and the reimbursement of services. Next, the impact of intradepartmental communication on patient care will be examined. Finally, this paper will attempt to demonstrate that the lessons from successful interim communications between departments can translate into an improved perception of quality during patient encounters.

I enjoyed reading your post. As we have learned during this discussion board through our classmates, there are a plethora of different ways that can be used to evaluate programs. You gave numerous examples as to why program evaluations are important in early childhood education and why they are conducted in the first place. Another reason that program evaluations are conducted are to see if the program is working (Gilliam & Leiter, 2003). For instance, the Head Start Program at my school constantly makes changes to their program due to their yearly evaluation. If they see that something is not working, the head of the program tries to come up with different ways to change what is not working to try and make the program better for the students.

The quality of care remains an important element of the care process. Although major improvements have been made within the healthcare, the delivery of quality care has remained questionable. Patients are the source of the important insights on the quality of care, which forms the basis for effective improvement. In addition, the experience of the patients is the basis for understanding the quality of care. Health care can be argued to meet the quality of care standards if the experiences of the patients are positive. Given the important role that patients’ experience is high, other aspects of the care process can be said to be positive (Beattie, Murphy, Atherton & Lauder, 2015). The experience is the view of the patients about the quality of care. The views have an important role to play and should be taken into consideration in the hospital improvement plans. Valid and reliable information on patients’ experience is useful in care improvement plans.

The 1st Lesson: Hospital values must be in line with what patients want. The key driver for patient satisfaction is the courtesy, not efficiency of the hospital. Patients judge the service received by courtesy, but employees are managed according to efficiency and safety. Although provide safe care is paramount, the hospitals do not learn any credit for providing safe clinical practice and environmental safety.

Words are a double edge sword. We can use them to help or to hurt others. As health care workers, we need to refrain from unwholesome talk and speak with the intention of bettering the patient’s well

The goal of selection programs are to capitalize on individual differences in order to select the applicants who possess the greatest amount of particular characteristics that have been assess to be the most important for job success (Cascio & Aquinis, 2011).

Selecting the right employee to fill a position is one of the most challenging decision making processes a company has to make.
