Project Accountability In Healthcare Organizations

Hospitals are adopting telemedicine ICU coverage to compensate for the shortage of onsite expert intensivist. Tele-ICU coverage is the adoption of telemedicine to hospital critical care unit. Tele ICU coverage involves telecommunication system installed in the ICU to facilitate real-time access to a specialist. Real-time telehealth involves patient and clinicians interacting at the same time by using interactive video or television (Sewell, 2016). Tele-ICU coverage uses a combination of video conferencing technology, telemetry, and electronic medical record that allows

I found your post to be very interesting with, your definition of accountability. More so, I would completely agree in that, nurses are accountable to their patients, as well as, and how our actions as nurse will affect them, for example, checking the vitals before administering medication Thanks for sharing.

The group was led by myself and included members of a multidisciplinary team of all units involved in the telemetry process including the managers, nurses, monitor technicians and clinical engineers. This group selection afforded us an opportunity to share successful approaches, discuss barriers and create specific strategies acknowledging variation and where in the process steps it could be eliminated.

Telemedicine includes technologies, for instances such as patient consultations, involving a patient in one location and a provider in another via video conferencing, transmission of still images from patient’s site of care to a clinician

Internal stakeholders, investors should know going into the business the assumed cost of licensing and accreditation. Also, working within the system of the government to exact laws changing the rules regarding telemedicine, for example doctors can only practice in the state they reside in or for each hospital the doctor is affiliated with they must have a license for that hospital (Tangorra, 2015). If you are affiliated with 25 hospitals you will need 25 licenses. Therefore, the proper resources must be set aside or addressed regarding how each telehealth care worker must have the appropriate accreditation for telemedicine regardless of their regular medical training.

Telemedicine is not an independent medical system. Devices and products related to telemedicine are often sector of a bigger asset by healthcare systems in either information technology or the distribution of medical care. Alike in the remuneration

The overriding mission of the quality assurance and patient safety body in a hospital environment is to advance learning and system-wide improvements throughout the healthcare center and its clinics. The challenge is to keep on top of the many individual quality initiatives running at any one time, while also ensuring that the appropriate care standards are observed. All hospitals are expected to adhere to a set of core care measures, developed by the Joint Commission – the national standard-setting and accrediting healthcare body – to optimize the quality of care through a standardized performance measurement system. These core measures are primarily derived

TTechnology trends. Looking at the current marketing trends, healthcare is advancing day-by-day. Therefore, it is important for healthcare organizations to incorporate certain technologies, such as telemedicine that can provide effective healthcare services to even its physically distant patients, which will serve as a useful asset to a rural hospital like PMH (Campbell, 2001). Another great benefit of this technology will be how it can help in overcoming the physician shortage situation at PMH, by providing real time assistance to the patients (Campbell, 2001). Additionally, with the increasing information technologies, another trend that has strongly gained momentum, especially after passing of the legislative act called the Health Information Technology for Economics and Clinical Health Act (HITECH), according to which various health information technologies (HITs) are enforced, liked EMR (Dephillips III, 2007).

The long-term effects on the company with roles being shared among employees is that each employee has the same concern, which is completing the project on time, with good quality and on budget. In the long-term and short-term no employee should feel they did the work on their own terms and feel the need for personal glory (Kloppenborg & Nkomo, (2012).

Employers of Medium/Large enterprises: Employers could form tie-ups with insurance companies, and offer the benefit of online healthcare to its employees. The benefits of which include: - Higher employee retention due to satisfaction and ease of health care - Higher employee productivity due to reduction of illness. - Ease of access, through kiosks which can be installed at the workplace itself Competitors A number of companies were involved in health-related electronic exchanges in US with the objective of improving patient care. These companies provided interaction directly between the physicians and patients, for example- Medfusion’s Virtual Office Suite, a secure HIPAAcompliant web-based platform; Cisco’s TelePresence, which enabled live video conferencing. These companies focused their activities only between the patients and the physicians and didn’t involve Health insurance companies. However in 2009, Cisco was creating a nationwide network in collaboration with a large U.S health insurer to increase their reach in the market. The offline mode of involving in patient care have players like Nurse Practitioners, MinuteClinic, RediClinic etc. which have their own retail- based clinics in areas where there are PCP shortages, overburdened emergency rooms or patients wanting less expensive treatments.

To begin there is the project manager role. This is the leader of the project. They need to make sure that the project will be completed by the deadline, within the budget, and has the anticipated value to the business. For our project Patrick shall fill this role.
