The Effectiveness Of Traditional Lecture And Scenario Based Learning For Training Respiratory Therapists

Across the nation many nursing programs are facing clinical site shortages for their students. The hardest hit population is the license vocational nursing (LVN) students. Many hospitals are trending toward achieving “Magnet Status” for their institutions. Therefore, LVN students are no longer allowed to complete their clinical training in several hospitals. This action forces many nursing programs to seek alternative methods of clinical instruction. In years past simulation training was used as an aid to facilitate learning. Today, for many nursing programs scenario based simulation is the only option for learning patient care.

Over the past decade, virtually every major industry invested heavily in computerization. The heath care industry was no exception to the rise in the use of technology. These technologies are starting to allow health care practitioners to offer faster, and more efficient patient care than ever before. No doubt this is the right direction we expect health care to follow.

Healthcare is ever changing and anyone in the healthcare profession needs to stay up to date with the evolving technologies. The goal of most healthcare facilities is to keep patients safe, provide excellent care and keep the facilities profitable all at the same time. Organizations such as The Joint Commission have been established to ensure this happens. The Joint Commission’s mission statement is “All people always experience the safest, highest quality, best-value health care across all settings.” (Joint Commission, 2014). With the new technologies surfacing, groups are needed to ensure patient safety and monitor patient care. The demand on healthcare is growing as well as patient expectations.

The purpose of faculty training in the nursing profession is to provide program evaluation to examine evidence-based practice in a simulation of care and provide safe nursing practice. Patients with a tracheostomy are high risk and have numerous problems for nurses to find because of respiratory problems. In addition, understanding the facility policy regarding tracheostomy care, the faculty must possess specific knowledge and skills to provide satisfactory care. Evidence-based research has provided the organization for nurses to improve nursing care standards and practice regarding tracheostomy care (Schreiber, 2015). On the other hand, the patient simulation laboratory (SIM lab) coincides with this setting because it uses state-of-the-art

The health care industry is one of the most dynamic and delicate industries in the U.S. having experienced healthy and substantial changes for the last thirty years most of which have aimed to improve health care management and services delivery to the patients. The changes have enabled the integration of technology into the industry such as in the area of informatics, science and research and payment services and clinical treatments. The health care sector has introduced various changes to address disease and health care management such as the Modernization Act of 2003, the Patient Protection Act and Affordable Act, which aim at improving health provision and most

In the healthcare field, technology, medical techniques, and procedures has been rapidly developing and we must always update our knowledge about these modernization. My willingness to learn as a student will enable me to perform effectively as a student and later as a practicing baccalaureate prepared nurse.

In this paper I will be speaking on the Health Care Industry and how it has changed over the years. There are many aspects of the medical industry that have changed from how medical information is kept to how medication is given. In this paper I will be explaining how health care has changed over the last 10 years and what the biggest change is in the next 10 years. I will also speak about what my role will be in the health industry, especially when it comes to adapting my skills into the health care industry. Along with the information mentioned above I will be expressing my perception of how the health care has changed over the course of my

The hole is made to help the patient breathe. A tracheostomy usually is temporary, although patient can have it long term or even permanently. Patients with a tracheostomy are considered to be high risk and have numerous complexities for nurses to consider because of respiratory problems. In addition to understanding facility policy regarding tracheostomy care, nurses must possess the specific knowledge and skills to provide successful care. Evidence-based research has provided the foundation for nurses to improve nursing care standards and practice regarding tracheostomy care (Schreiber, 2015). The faculty must be qualified and knowledgeable about simulation lab (SIM lab) in conjunction with tracheostomy care as teaching-learning strategies in order to be successfully teach their students within their work environment. The SIM lab is an important learning tool because it is team based faculty learning that consistently improves academic outcomes by shifting the instructional focus from knowledge transmission to knowledge application. The Capstone project is devised to plan and develop faculty skills in teaching with technology that incorporated the use of SIM lab. The purpose of faculty training is to examine evidence based practice in simulation of care and nursing

Hospitals and health care systems take strategies to update their infrastructure like technological upgradation, operating room services etc. in contrary due to the concept of supply and demand and less competition in specialty services force the physicians to pursue further.

Science and technology have always been joined at the hip. The evolution of health care services in the United States (U. S.) undoubtedly has been shaped at least in part by advancements in scientific research and knowledge, and technological innovation (Shi & Singh, 2012). The following exploration focuses on ways a specific scientific or technological event or innovation affected health care provision in the U. S. to date. Health care is dynamic. Science and technology continue to prove themselves as important facilitators of the change processes that occur in health care. The scientific method and nursing process are just a few examples that

BACKGROUND: Innovations within the healthcare industry related to scientific and technical advancements often lead to changes in healthcare delivery. To cope with these changes, it is necessary to prepare and train healthcare workers to improve employees ' knowledge and the quality of care. Limited clinical experience with the mechanical ventilation approach, like high frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV), makes its implementation difficult in the real critical care world. The authors investigated the effectiveness of technology-enhanced simulation with debriefing in improving participants’ confidence level, cognitive knowledge and psychomotor skills in using SensorMedics 3100B high frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV) in adult patients. METHODS: This is a quasi-experimental research design with pre and post-tests. The educational strategy involved technology-enhanced simulation training with debriefing. The population included critical care respiratory therapists, residents, fellows and attending physicians at Rush University Medical Center. RESULT: Twenty six participants were included for data analysis; 12 respiratory therapists and 14 critical care physicians. There were almost an equal number of females (53.8%) and males (46.2%). The improvement was statistically significant in cognitive knowledge test score with p value < .05; t (25) = 3.91. The mean for post-psychomotor skills test score was 3.15 (SD = .88) and the mean for pre-test total score was 2.35 (SD=

Evolving Practice of Nursing and Patient Care Delivery Models Informal Presentation to Educate Nurses about How the Practice of Nursing is to Grow and Change Healthcare in the United States constitute of a robust system with the potential to provide reliable and quality care services to American citizens. The healthcare system incorporates the assistance of nurses to undertake its numerous activities (Folland, Goodman, & Stano, 2016). Current changes in the modern world that include technological advancements have a more significant impact on the future of the nursing profession. Nurses need to understand the changing factors and attain necessary education and training to enable them to adapt to the various changes.

The delivery of healthcare has evolved and changed over the years and with the advances in science and technology, the ability to provide safe, quality care to all patients has been impacted by the changes. With the rising healthcare costs and decrease in reimbursement for care provided, organizations must look for ways of cost containment to maintain viability for the future. Fabre (2005) noted that administrators are struggling to maintain financial stability and retain competent nurses during these difficult

This is a training proposal for the job of respiratory therapist. I propose that we did a web-based training first with test to measure the skill of each candidate before hand. I am choosing this method because I have read that this is the wave of the future with over one billion people using mobile learning worldwide. This will give us a first hand look at how much knowledge the prospective employees have before they start the job. They will be able to log onto a site with a user name and password unique to them so they may do this at home. It will consist of information regarding basic disease processes, medication, airway management, ventilator management and documentation.

The healthcare system has seen significant change over the past decade. This is due to improved technology, healthcare reform, and the economic crisis (Hendren, 2010). With the changes that are occurring,
