Polarities and Polarity Management

The biggest distractions as an acute care leader that impacts my work are numerous administrative meetings; they tend to take up most of my daily schedule leaving me with little time to talk to the patients. To alleviate this challenge I have allocated time on my daily calendar to participate in bedside inter-disciplinary and leader rounding on the unit with the team to discuss patient plan of care with other healthcare teams, patient and family. This time allocation enables me to have designated time dedicated to making sure the patient receives my professional presence that supports

The diagnosis of hypertension is not made until the client has an elevated blood pressure on two different occasions.

The response is clearly based on the question. However, although it contains the term “polarity” and some

Moreover, the office visit length will be shortened due to the high demand of customers making it harder to provide good quality of care to patients as well . On the other hand, from the physician point of view it is predictable that doctors will change practice patterns from private offices to hospital services because the facilities pay salaries with less expectations in the number of patients seen per day. Furthermore, due to the elevated number of patients, time left for clinical documentation and record keeping will be nulle.

There are several potential risks to the company with the introduction of the new triage level 4 & 5 care center. These are patients won’t use the new service and continue to utilize the emergency department for their lower level of care needs. Matching staffing and demand is another risk. The clinic will be a mix of self-scheduling and walk in appointments. Making sure there are enough appointment slots available when patients need them. If this does not happen, patients will have long wait times and will cause them to have a negative experience and not utilize the service for future needs.

The Founding Fathers created the United States government believing in permanent liberty and democracy for America’s citizens. The Framers were highly opposed of political parties because it threatens unity among the country. Political parties develop people’s political opinions, resulting in polarization of government. Polarization is a large and defined division between parties. Congress’ polarization is growing, while American citizens’ polarization is less pronounced in most of the United States.

The office would need to establish a goal to accommodate all post-discharge patients. When appointments cannot be made then an escalation process to the office manager needs to occur. In order to foster communication with professional partners, an investigation of the system failures. How can the transition to home be improved? The workflow should include a validation step that would entail hand-off communication between hospital rounders and office schedulers. If missteps occur, then the office staff could catch the near misses and call the patient at home. Care coordination among providers on an outpatient basis could be supported by the electronic medical record and having verbal care conferences. Next strategy could involve the hospital completing a call back within twenty-four hours to all patients discharged. This intervention could potentially catch some of the missed opportunities. Another approach involves face to face reinforcement of the patient-centered partnership with H. H. According to Counsil et al. (2012), “patient-centered care plans for complex patients changed the relationships with the health team” (p. 190). The development of this patient directed plan of care and partnership is

According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, Polarization is defined as the “division into two opposites”. (Merriam-Webster) Political Polarization refers to the perceived division of ideologies espoused between the two major political parties in the United States. The topic of political polarization is one frequently referenced in the media and in political discussions. Does political polarization actually exist or is it a myth? In this paper, this question will be analyzed and examined and a conclusion will be reached.

Over the course of time, the United States Congress has gradually become polarized or partisan. In essence, Congress has been divided into polar sides. I believe the links provided are outdated and the data that needs to be analyzed has been removed. However, Darrell Issa, my representative, is proved to be partisan to the Republican party. According to OnTheIssues, Representative Issa’s stance on abortion(pro life) and gun control (less gun control) mirrors that of the Republican party (OnTheIssues, “Every Political Leader on Every Issue”). Consequently, having a polarized Congress is unhealthy for the government.

During the second week, I had the opportunity to accompany Mr. Price to meetings that he had with the managers of the nurses and schedulers. During those meetings, the managers discussed the ideal approach of how to accommodate patients who call the schedulers to acquire appointments for urgent medical concerns. There seemed to be a problem with patients taking up appointment slots when they do not have a true need to be assessed by their doctor. It was ultimately concluded that the schedulers would coordinate communication between the patient and the registered nurse. The nurse would then triage the patient’s concerns over the phone and provide medical guidance,

A solution to the gridlock will be hard to find due to the nature of American politics, and how to find a way to stop or lessen this block in problem solving without creating some arbitrary guidelines is another issue.

The first issue that is creating a problem is that there are no present guidelines established that indicates how certain appointments should be scheduled. The time it takes a physician to examine and treat a patient who suspects he or she has pink eye is evidently less than a patient who requires a pre-operative clearance for surgery. Therefore, these two appointments should not be scheduled with the same time allotment. Establishing guidelines that all employees who are scheduling appointments to follow will assist in reducing some of the time patients have to wait.

Two patient verifier completed. Per PA Wu , the patient was informed that she has added an additional bp med to his current regimen. Asked the patient that he has any swelling in legs. The pt says no. Informed the patient that only a 30 day supply was ordered on his Lisinipril. Please record bp readings for the next seven days at the same time then email reading via Micare. If bp in not controlled then a f/u with his provider is needed. The patient agrees and verbalized

According to the survey, our patients didn’t enjoy their experience before their appointment. 73% of patients said that the receptionist did not greet them immediately. I know this was the case when I walked in for my meeting. The receptionist was on her phone texting instead of being aware of patients that could potentially be walking into the facility. Although the receptionist doesn’t greet them right away, 67% of people agree she was respectful and courteous. However, the biggest issue lies with patients not understanding the co-pay and possibility of additional costs. This is a problem that can be fixed easily, we just need to retrain our receptionists to greet each patient with a warm smile, and how to fully explain the costs that patients are required to pay. The receptionist play an important role in customer service, therefore they must be at the top of their game at all times. In order to fix the overall patient experience at our urgent care facility, I think we need to send out more surveys and bring back the follow-up calls. The follow up calls are important because patients will be able to express any concerns they had with their visit and we would be able to

There are many theories as to how or why political polarization was formed, and the impact it has on government in modern day. Polarization has varied significantly over the years ever since the 1970’s. However, what is the true cause and can it be explained? This paper will discuss some theories on how political polarization came about, and analyzes some accounts of polarization overall. Defining political polarization is vital into developing an understanding of how or why it was initially formed.
