Plaintiff held onto the safety bar located just outside of the shower with her left hand, reached backwards with the right arm to grasp the right armrest of the wheelchair, which had been left in the same spot as when she entered the shower, and began to feel the wheelchair roll backwards away from her. With one hand still on the safety bar and the other on the armrest of the wheelchair, Plaintiff was unable to upright herself and instead, began to fall towards the floor. Plaintiff lost grip of the safety bar and fell on the floor at which time, Plaintiff suffered immediate pain in her back and lower bottom.

Plaintiff was eventually found by medical staff on the floor of the bathroom approximately 8:33am. See Defendant’s Response to Plaintiff’s Request for Admissions No. 15.

After reading this case study, this assignment will focus on the appropriate assessment and management that should be undertaken by paramedics to give this patient the best possible care. This will be achieved by following the five key stages of patient assessment from Pilbery et al. (2013, pp. 114–239). This will consist of the Scene management, primary assessment, History taking, Secondary assessment and reassessment of the patient. Following this, the patient’s presenting complaint would be managed according to the findings and relevant guidelines.

Patient health behaviors manifest in physical and emotional ways. The tools discussed in these class provides me with the understanding of tools to utilize in a primary care setting and traditional therapy settings. According to Wood, Garb and Nezworski “Better measurement makes better clinicians”. Assessment results often lead to diagnosis and treatment.

Finally, through making a visible presence within the online marketing the health care organization will have presented their existence to many within their communities to allow them the knowledge of their facilities and services that are available. “Susan Eisen (2007) reports to the extent that patient satisfaction assessment efforts are reliable, valid and appropriately used, their results hold promise for improving particularly, interpersonal aspects of healthcare quality. After much concern about increasing impersonalization in the current healthcare system and pressure on providers to see more patients in less time, efforts to assess patient satisfaction should, at least, serve to raise the consciousness of healthcare providers, administrators

Undergoing frequent health examinations is important in the name of identifying problems before they spiral out of control. Prevention is of course far more powerful than cure, and having regular checkups may identify areas of weakness to address before a condition develops.

The second week of professional practice allowed my classmates and I to learn about a variety of caring topics including using a foam pad to move patients up in bed, moving patients out of bed with the use of a battery operated lift, making both an occupied and unoccupied bed, and giving a bed bath. These topics led to an opportunity to apply most of this new knowledge by working with and providing care to an SP. During this provision of care, the only aspect that made it different from my other SP scenarios was the feedback given throughout the entire scenario. Brandon provided informative insight into how to hold a patient’s leg while they are in the lateral recumbent position and how to properly take the popliteal, dorsal pedis, and posterior

At today’s visit she is seen in her room at Tiffany hall SNF where she is a long-term resident. She is awake, alert. She is a poor historian due to her dementia. The staff reports that the patient has had multiple falls over the last month. She had a fall yesterday and was sent to the emergency room for evaluation. After her return from the ER she had another fall. The patient frequent tries to get out of her chair and out of bed without waiting for assistance.

Cleary and McNeil (1988) stated that change in health status is usually thought of as an outcome of medical care. However, individuals’ health status prior to receiving care is also important as it may also cause them to be more or less satisfied. However, Zapka et al. (1995) reported that healthier patients were more satisfied but also, on the contrary, that patients with chronic illness were more satisfied. There were some authors that suggested that mental and not physical health status was significantly associated with patient satisfaction (Rahmqvist 2001; Cohen 1995). Greenley et al. (1982) hypothesised that patients with poor psychological health may be less satisfied with their care because they may have trouble getting relief from their distress or because providers may react less positively to them.

SHARMA was providing the break relief, he noticed the patient C.K walking out of her room. The patient had managed to remove the restraints and walked into another patient’s room. Security Officer D. SHARMA requested Security Officer G. GILL to re-attend. Security Officer G. GILL re-attended at which point, clinical staff instructed site security to physically assist the patient in to a wheelchair, where she would then be restrained. Site security was able to physically assist the patient in to the wheel chair however, the patient was very resistant and made repeated attempts to scratch and bite site

Throughout the time, dealing with patients of other cultures, gathering of necessary data it is very important, as it will be used in further health care process. Furthermore, the success of medical care depends on how correctly the information was collected and processed. Indeed, it is possible to collect a big amount of data that will happen to be unnecessary in the case. Then, examination process is important too. Interview technique is a two-way process. Even though it is necessary to raise concerns and lead the patient in the information collection discussion, listening is one of the substantial parts of the interview process. The health care professionals must give encouragement and space to have patients tell their medical history. If

The guide contains a global scope of patient safety, where there shall be a unified definition for patient safety and other factors contributing to patient safety. Then it follows a four step plan guide in developing a program. It starts with the assessment of an area and goal setting, which then necessitates the creation of a training program to be implemented and evaluated for effectiveness.

Ongoing assessment is necessary to evaluate changes in pain and the effectiveness of its management. The American Pain Society stresses that heath care professionals should consider pain as the fifth vital sign (Campbell, 2015). Therefore, the patient’s pain should be assessed at least as often as vital signs are taken. Accuracy in pain assessment is a major factor in measuring the adequacy of pain management. This implies that health care professionals should identify the presence of POP for each patient, and score its intensity using standardized scales(APS, 2015).

Manisha is a 32yo, G2 P0010, who is currently 32 weeks 2 days. She is followed closely in our office for severe IUGR and oligohydramnios. She was admitted to the hospital last week and after 4 days of inpatient her amniotic fluid rose just slightly from just < 5 cm to just above 5 cm. She was allowed to be discharged home and is following up today for ongoing evaluation.

This focuses on exploring the different expectations of patients relating to healthcare. It also further explores the need to understand how the different patient’s perceptions affect their satisfaction with the healthcare. The study found out that among the major expectations of customers in hospitals is quality healthcare. From the study, major knowledge can be used in the current study on patient satisfaction. It is a good read for researchers who aim at advancing an argument or evaluation on issues relating to the satisfaction of patients with healthcare services within hospitals. The major significance of the study was recommendations made to help with the improvement of healthcare.

The patient’s perspective is measured as a high relevant. Patient’s opinions are very important with respect to the implementation of quality assurance. Most important thing is patient’s satisfaction as a multidimensional concept. The best way to develop a conceptual structure of quality of care seen through patients eyes. The qualities of care derived from performance score it can serve as an outline for QA and QI program from patient’s perspective. It is very important analysis the patients priorities.
