Patient Scenarios

By having form utility in a healthcare setting in the medical field, you must measure the patients experience and quality of health care, by having access to a patient portal, so that our clients can look up their lab results, make future appointments, send a message back to the doctor and getting refill request submitted. We also ask for feedback by completing our online survey. This will add value to our organization and also add satisfaction to our clients. By delivering perceived value above and beyond their expectations.

This response will describe my answers to the question: “If you are a doctor, what will you say to a patient who refuses vaccines like the patient Ofri encounters? Will there be any difference in what you say depending on whether the patient is an adult, or an adult refusing for their child?”. In Ofri’s article, she described her encounter with an adult patient who refused to receive an annual flu shot. She narrated the conversation between her and her patient and included her attempt to correct misconceptions the patient had concerning vaccinations while also respecting the patient’s view and ending with the claim that the most she could ask for is for the patient to walk away and think about the vaccine.

he lesson that I can take during patient interactions are to try find the best way to accommodate patient's needs and know my limitations. For example I cannot speak Russian and my patients are Russians with limited English, however, I know they need so much help and education. I rather talk to the nurse manager and refer them to another nurse that can speak Russian or to get an interpreter to help me. It might be seem "I am washing my hands" and try to get rid of them, but my attention was to help them better.

On Monday, August 29, 2016, at approximately 1:38PM, I, Officer Larry Thomas, was contacted by medical staff to come to the peep area, in reference to a patient control assist.

Although patient hold the main role of patient engagement, for health care providers, they also play a very important role as facilitator and collaborator. However, in practices, they were not adequately prepared to assist patients to engage in clinical treatment because of external barriers, including heavy workload, time constraints and hospital special setting et al. Consistent with previous researches, communication offer a critical lens for assessing the extent to which patient are engaged in their care. In our study, TB inpatients committed that keep cooperation with health providers in hospital settings may help to making them feel cared and promote patient engagement. Conversely, poor communication undermined trust in relationship with

The life cycle of a claim form begins when a patient calls a physician’s office and requests an appointment. The administrative staff member must determine if the patient is new or established, and the reason for the visit. Establishing financial responsibility is the next step in the claims process. Verification of the patient’s insurance information, if any, should be done prior to scheduling the patient for an appointment. Once the appointment is scheduled and the patient arrives to the office, the patient is checked-in. This step is known as registration. Any missing or incorrect information is updated at this point. Co-pay is collected, if required. In addition, if the patient is new, authorization forms or other administration forms

Great question. I am currently working in the intensive care unit at the Veterans Hospital in California (VA) with an outstanding group of dedicated nurses, respiratory therapist, physicians and of course me the lone physical therapist. Patient-centric in my interpretation means how to improve the quality of life of the patient, with the patient being the core of our care, and not only focusing on keeping the patient well. In the ICU, it is used to be stabilizing the patient and keeping them alive mantra, but now it is different. My facility adopted the ABCDEF bundle to address

Currently, most hospitals are overcrowded and lack effective patient queue management. Patient queue management and wait time prediction form a challenging and complicated job because each patient might require different phases/ operations, such as a checkup, various tests, e.g., a sugar level or blood test, X-rays or a CT scan, minor surgeries, during treatment. Each treatment task can have varying time requirements for each patient, which makes time prediction and recommendation highly

I think it helped me to see how important is to have a good communication between medical staff and patients. Also, to know that there are many consequences of misunderstanding. In addition, I think it is very important to make sure that patients understand what being told. Moreover, I understand the importance of using interpreters if the patients do not speak the same language as the doctors.

Greeting the patient. Necessary to have an appropriate positive start to a conversation. Introducing self.

At the Veteran Affairs (VA) Hospital, assessing the quality of food and patient acceptance is vital for patient satisfaction and safety of the hospital. The 11th floor of the VA hospital serves patients who are recuperating from a surgical procedure or are being monitored for an acute condition. By conducting meal rounds the dietitian can ensure the patient has a good appetite and is consuming 75% of his meal was consumed along. Patient reported he is not receiving enough food and remains hungry throughout the day. Patient was asked if he would like an additional snack between his meals. Patient was given snack options to be added so, he wouldn’t feel so hungry while in the hospital.

Being patient means that you are understanding and tolerant. A patient person experiences difficulties without complaining. Patience as they say is a virtue and only those who practice it are at inner peace. I have experienced patience and have seen it,

Without much delay, I like to take the opportunity as CEO to explain the responsibilities working in a hospital setting consist of. As CEO, I interact with physicians, internist and medical staff and make sure the resident patients are seeking medical care and being taken care of with proper treatment. I am also responsible for communicating the vision, strategy, and tactics for the company to achieve this vision. Ultimately, I am responsible for holding the team accountable to deliver on this plan. I also determine and formulate the policies and provider direction overall for the company with guidelines that are set up by the board of directors. These members are involved in the planning, leadership, and coordination of day-to-day operations

If the same situation occurred again, I would hope to react in a way that is non- judgemental from the beginning. From my experiences from placement I can utilise the social work perspective of: patient-in-the environment, which highlights the need and importance in understanding an individual and their behaviour whilst considering their environmental contexts (Smyth, 2004). Furthermore, according to Rubing & Babbie (2016), the person in the environment perspective moves the shift away from individual blaming and has an emphasis on the social context and structural powers and barriers that surrounds and influences the individual.

Pediatric patients in hospital settings are unquestionably in a defenseless position and are highly reliant on nurses to provide for their individual needs. In the poem above, not only was the pediatric patient’s needs met, but also the nurse showed caring qualities that made the patient feel comforted. As a pediatric nurse, caring is a quality that is imperative to include along with nursing interventions to provide holistic care for a patient. Caring holds significant value to us professionally. We believe caring is an essential characteristic in nursing. Without this characteristic, one will not be able to care for a patient effectively. Patients we work with deal with many different issues, may it be extensive health or social issues.
