Model Of Home-Based Primary Care

Initially we had difficulty obtaining his discharge orders as the hospital care manager replied she had forwarded the documentation, but neither I nor Mrs. Bianco had received a copy. Mrs. Bianco made a visit to Mills Creek and met with Mr. Smith at that time she was made aware of an appointment that Mr. Smith attended. Mr. Smith attended a physician appointment on June 28, 2017 with Dr. Leonard, Orthopedic trauma. Mills Creek assisted with the transportation and a mobile x-ray unit was coordinated to obtain x-rays of the femur at the facility as Mr. Smith didn’t bring his slide board to the appointment and couldn’t get onto the radiology table.

Payment was denied due to the lack of documentation to support continued need for home care.

1. Home Healthcare Case: Given what you have learned about the accessibility and financing of home care services, are such services as readily available to other consumers as they were to Joan and Jerry? In this particular case regarding Joan and Jerry, and the availability of home health care services compared to that of others is a quite simple. Lack of knowledge and understanding is of the utmost detrimental in medical terms due to the fact that there are many programs that are available to help those with disabilities or home bound. In this case, perhaps Joan and Jerry 's daughter should have been more involved with the medical needs of both her parents. Especially due to the age of her father who was in desperate attempt to keep his disabled wife comfortable in their home. Home health care services are readily available to covered members of Medicare/Medicaid or other third-party payers. Although in Joan 's later days of life, her medical needs were being attended to by home health care professionals, perhaps her life could have been extended and foreseen medical conditions that could have prevented another stroke. "Being an informal caregiver plays a huge role in providing care and relief to long-term consumers (Pratt, 2010)." If Jerry would have taken advantage of home health care and it 's available services at an earlier stage, then perhaps he would not have to have had a hip replacement by having more rest to take care of himself. "As with other forms of long-term

As a kind hearted individual who treats everyone with respect and dignity, I feel as though I will be an advantage to this Veteran center nursing program. My last assignment in the military was on a medical surgical unit in which the majority of our census were veterans. During this time, I was able to develop a rapport with our patients that had major health issues. Although these patients were sick, I enjoyed being able to see them and help them whatever they needed. I perceived as though my patients felt better after our encounter and all left with a positive sentiment about me. One example that comes to mind is of a homeless patient I had. Once he was admitted to the floor, I overheard the ER staff stating that he smelled, I immediately

a. As current enlisted soldier in the Army I feel that the care that veterans get upon return from war is mediocre at best. They have good health care and pensions , if you don’t suffer from PTSD they don’t care enough for these individuals. Yes they have some help for them but the government looks for ways to not help or to give them as little help as possible. These are men and women are willing to give there life, see people die, kill others, and leave there families all in order to protect our country and they can't get help with the problem they get from going to war.

This evidenced-base proposal paper is to address the lack of communication with the multidisciplinary team with home healthcare cases. This is a problem that is faced everyday by home healthcare nurses and other providers. Home healthcare is independent care provided at home these services can be provided over time and across geographic locations. Home care nurses tackle many responsibilities that include not only the patients but also family concerns and problems. Nurses are at the home front on a daily basis with individuals and need a decision/guidance support system to manage the different levels of care demands. One of the most important factors in maintaining continuity of care is the compliance with documentation. In order for providers to communicate with one another documentation needs to be clear and also requires a standardized nursing language (SNL) (Lee Eun, Lee, & Moorhead , 2009).

Throughout history, veterans have suffered after fighting in wars. Millions of veterans were killed and injured. Veterans do not receive all the care they need. Many veterans are currently homeless or suffering due to the fact that the government is not providing enough. Taking care of veterans costs a lot. Healthcare is needed throughout the world. Veterans need healthcare after serving in wars to treat their problems and injuries. Jobs are also important to everyone. Veterans are jobless after fighting in wars. The government continues to attempt helping veterans but it is not enough.

Imagine being born with a severely weak immune system. A person like this is in constant paranoia because the risk of getting sick with pulmonary disease/infection is extremely high and their life expectancy may be lower than someone with a ‘normal’ or healthy immune system. Moving In and out of hospitals is now a way of life for them. The average person does not have to deal with such burdens; but, for a person living with diseases such as cystic fibrosis or a person undergoing chemotherapy, it is a daily reality. Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease that impairs lung function and causes many infections. People with cystic fibrosis, and other people with immune disorders are likely to be in the hospital many days out of the year because

I discussed about the importance of having certain equipment and machines available at home that will be beneficial and necessary in the care of the patient. I also listed supplies needed and recommended where they can get it. I wanted to make sure that the place was conducive in providing palliative care, because as a nurse, i should not only be a patient advocate to their rights in making health care decisions but I also knew and I kept in my mind that as a palliative care nurse, I have to make sure that I should also promote and improve the quality of life of my patients during their illness.

Primary care and Primary Health Care(PHC) are two terms that appear synonyms and are both used interchangeably, however, both terms contain slightly different meaning. According to Muddon, Hogg, Levitt (2006), Primary Health Care is based on the WHO definition which defines PHC as “an essential part of the health care based on practically, socially acceptable methods and technology that is made universally accessible to anyone in a community, through the full cost of the community and country can afford”. In other words, PHC is usually the first contact of care for the patient, and what it does is to bring care close to the community. PHC focuses on the broader social determinants of health, offers a broader concept, and is more focused on community based programs. According to the Ottawa website, Primary care is defined “as narrow concept of “family doctor-type” services delivered to individual patients, but it can also apply to all first-contact care, including emergency room visits”. In order words, primary care involves services provided to the patient directly for new or old needs, which involves accessibility of care. Furthermore, primary care ensures that there is a continuity of care as the patient’s moves from different providers, such as secondary providers. Primary care is an element within primary health care that focuses on the promotion of health, and primary care is the representation of clinical care of primary health care. Although both terms are used

Traditional model of primary health care that involves physician-centered approaches are often inadequate for addressing the complex health needs that residents of low-income neighborhoods encounter (Whelan et al., 2010). Therefore, if the Health Bus provides services that are culturally appropriate and addresses the needs of clients, it is anticipated that participants would be satisfied with the services and would use the Health Bus services. Evaluation may show that the Health Bus team is addressing other social determinants of health such as reducing social isolation among the clients. As seen in the study by Whelan that indicated that clients felt more socially inclusive as a result of chatting with staff and being treated with respect and dignity at the Health Bus in Toronto (Whelan et al., 2010).

Health care provided by primary care providers is essential to chronic disease control and prevention, as well as acute care visits. Regular checkups and screenings provide practitioners sufficient data to detect common conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia in their patients. Without routine visits, conditions such as these would go undetected, and therefore untreated, and progress into more serious conditions. Within a primary care provider’s practice, patients have access to preventative screenings, immunizations, sick care, and reliability of a practitioner whom they trust. Patients who regularly visit a primary care provider also have lower overall healthcare costs and are more satisfied with

The Primary Healthcare Approach (PHC) aims to provide healthcare for all in South Africa. One of the principles of the PHC approach is that of multi-professional teams. As a developing Integrated Health Professional (IHP), I will be a part of the healthcare system as a doctor, and therefore play a critical role in the comprehensive care approach within the broader PHC.
