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.

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

a. As current enlisted soldier in the Army I feel that the care that veterans get upon return from war is mediocre at best.

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.

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

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).

One way in which the professionals working at Homelea’s care home could benefit from taking a holistic approach to planning a support plan for Annie is that they would be able to recognize what they need to do and whom they need to join or speak with in their multi-disciplinary team. Once the multi-disciplinary team is formed, they will be able to discuss what they think would be best for Annie and finding all the resources in which will effectively contribute to meeting her needs. To add to this, when working in a multi-disciplinary team, professionals would be open to many suggestions in which they wouldn’t have initially thought of themselves, working together as a team full of professionals from different organizations or services will
