Pediatric Clinic: Summary

Among medical surgical nursing staff does implementing bedside shift report lead to a greater satisfaction with care when compared to a traditional change of shift report at the nurses station during inpatient stays in the hospital?

I’m highly interested in the RN opening in your office now available at Capital Area Pediatrics. I am a recent nursing graduate from Northern Virginia Community College. Throughout my education and clinical experiences on different units, I have obtained the knowledge on tasks such as doing physical examinations, administering medication, giving injections, and much more both for adult and pediatric care.

The analysis of the HCAHPS scores in relation to the medication communication reflects on the succession planning that involves managers and staffing. This is with the incorporation of a clarified vision with a strategic plan (Buerhaus, 2000). The succession planning for the respective key personnel is significant in business strategy to assist the healthcare organization in handling effectively its future. In consideration of the current chaotic healthcare environment, development and growth of the nursing staff is significant to the maintenance of the quality outcomes. The use of patient satisfaction to form the basis of reimbursement with financial, political and philosophical implications involves the HCAHPS to help with the improvements on healthcare quality services provided to patients (Buerhaus, 2000).

In a country where chronic conditions continue to affect the pediatric population it is crucial that access to sub-specialty medical care is accessible. Unfortunately, in many rural areas access to sub-specialty care for pediatrics is not easily accessible. A medical home as defined by the American Academy of Pediatrics is identified by seven characteristics: “care that is accessible, continuous, comprehensive, family-centered, coordinated, compassionate, and culturally effective.” (Brito et al., 2008)

In March 2015 I was able to discuss this issue with a prominent Paediatric Psychiatrist, Dr Daniel Geller. We discussed his experience with the medicinal use of cannabis. Dr Geller stated that in the 1960’s doctors failed to fight for the continuation of cannabis treatments around the same time that there was growing clinical evidence of the negative health effects of opium and barbiturates had on the individual, their family and society. Partnered with this modern medicine gave doctors a new, reliable stable of drugs for well known illnesses.
