The Need Of Quality Medical Care

Through the many trips that my family has taken to the hospital due to various reasons, I have become fond of the hospital and its many wonders. After all the things that the medical field has done for me and my family, I decided to contribute to my local hospital to volunteer and help out those who pay visits to the hospital. Through my exposure to various clinical populations, I want to improve my ability to serve others in this capacity that can guide me towards the medical profession in the future.

Healthcare is a complex industry that is consistently changing to meet the demand of improving quality patient care. As a member of the healthcare team, we are obligated to provide safe patient-centered care. However, patient care within the facility this nurse is employed is not as effective as it should be. The organization currently utilizes three different charting systems, two electronic health information systems and a paper chart. Each with its own purpose of use. To make matters worse, not all healthcare providers have access to both electronic health information system. Depending on the individuals professional role within the organization, access would be limited to one or the other. Nurses are the only one

As a future alumna, I will advance the mission of Mercy College by delivering health care services as a PA to under-served urban populations with compassion and sensitivity. Being raised in an under-served community and being a premed student in Harlem, NY, I understand the challenges of being a healthcare professional in the United States. In addition, being in a diverse environment have augmented my studies in public health, and have provided me with concrete examples of how individuals can benefit from caring, sensitive providers, and how communities suffer when adequate health care services are not available or affordable. I believe as a future student at Mercy College, I will be fortunate enough to learn about the social responsibility

So, I hope to become a physician who integrates this leadership philosophy with my commitment to understanding the needs of my patients. I will be devoted to ensuring the patient, and his or her beliefs and values, are included in health care decisions. My academic experiences outside of the typical pre-health courses have ensured that I will become that physician and continue the path towards bettering the care of my

Have you ever closed your eyes and could still see a perfect picture? Well, believe it or not at that very moment a dream is created. My personal aspiration in life is not be the most popular or the best dressed, yet it is to be happy doing the thing I feel most passionate about. It is my personal belief that it will take skill, dedication, and passion for the world of health care to impact my community. The arena of study I wish to be knowledgably in is health care administrator. It is my goal to work for St. Jude Children’s Hospital, there I would like to use the experience and knowledge to aid in creating a better tomorrow. I do not want to claim that I will have knowledge on all subjects that cross my path, yet I will remain a humble

I was truly culture shocked as a freshman at one of the best colleges in the state of Arkansas but was able to flourish and quickly adapt to the fast-paced lifestyle of a college campus. Since 2006, I have done my best to extend my educational and pre-professional experiences in clinical settings through shadowing and volunteer work. I had the opportunity to volunteer at Mercy Medical Center in Fort Smith, Arkansas during my junior year of high school and continued with the same type of work as a freshman at Conway Regional Medical Center in Conway, Arkansas. I value these volunteer experiences most because of the type of work I was tasked with. I became educated in the fundamentals of patient care and administrative work and came to realize that every staff member of a hospital acts like both a cheerleader and a racecar driver. They must be optimistic, flexible, and proactive with each other and with patients. Without one team member, the rest of the team lacks and must work much harder to reach certain goals and tasks. Ultimately, these life-changing sports shaped my future career as a physician by providing me with the mental and emotional qualities necessary for a successful career in medicine. The confidence I have in one day displaying a nearly seamless transition into the medical field can be traced back to the strong educational roots I established while at Hendrix

My opinion about the book is that if the Health Care industry will adapt to Disney’s approach to quality care, the patients would feel more cared for, and staff would feel more valued. Therefore, the organizations would operate successful cultures to deliver effective high quality care. My goal is to implement a customer service program for the organization that would help them tackle the often challenging role of exceeding customer

Goal #1: Graduate students with a high knowledge in clinical nutrition issues who will contribute to providing high quality, effective, patient-centered care.

Documentation in nursing is an integral part of providing quality and safe care to patients. As indicated in the standards of nursing care, patient’s condition and care needs to be clearly stated for smooth continuity of care. This is importance since quality care is a team effort. The team must be able to work together and ensure that each patient’s individual needs are clearly communicated to each other. Proper documentation is vital for both patient safety and quality of care. Documentation increases the likelihood that the client will receive consistent and informed care or service. Studies have indicated the benefits of thorough, accurate documentation to decrease the potential

I feel as though the most important health care issue at this point is people not actually having the resources and/or money to receive the health care that they actually require. Access to quality health care is necessary for everyone’s well being. Health insurance is made to help patients get into the health care system. Uninsured people are actually more likely to die early and have poor health status. Although even with health insurance, people are very likely to rack up expensive medical bills. Due to these financial burdens, some people will avoid the care they actually need so they can have food on their table, clothes on their back, etc. If they don't completely avoid it, sometimes they will push it off until the last minute which could decrease patient satisfaction, and is associated with clinically significant delays in care.

Growing up in an urban community there were healthcare facilities around but never any quality ones. The healthcare facilities are horrendous, filthy, and unsanitary in several ways. In my community doctor’s office, they give me the impression, that their passion for medicine has diminished. I have observed countless individuals become turned away, as well as be treated unfairly because they could not afford healthcare coverage. In my opinion, everyone deserves standard health insurance. The community you live in or your financial situation should not have an effect on receiving quality health insurance. I plan to use my nursing degree as an outlet, to assist underprivileged families in receiving the health support and assistant they deserve.

Some hospital trusts and health authorities consistently outperform others on different dimensions of performance. Why? There is some evidence that “management matters”, as well as the combined efforts of individual clinicians and teams. However, studies that have been conducted on the link between the organisation

High quality healthcare in today’s National Health Service (NHS) is defined by NHS England (2013) as having three essential components. Firstly clinically effective care that is seen by patients not just clinicians; secondly that care is safe; and third, care that delivers a positive experience for the patient.

The definition of quality in the health care system can be puzzling since it can have different meanings to various people. However, the Institute of Medicine has helped out by bringing together a solid standardized representation of the word quality in our system. "Initially, the IOM defined quality as the “the degree to which health services for individuals and populations increase the likelihood of desired health outcomes and are consistent with current professional knowledge.” This led to a definition of quality that appeared to be listings of quality indicators, which are expressions of the standards.”(Mitchell 2008) Some implications of these standards have to deal with quality performance, focus of the delivery of health care services,

Innovative advanced practice nursing that incorporates high-quality, evidence-based patient care is the focus of the Doctorate of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree. The emphasis in the educational process is directed on how to increase knowledge, improve nursing practice, and ultimately enhance patient outcomes. In light of the fact that the current state of health care delivery has exhibited serious patient safety and system failures, the Institute of Medicine (IOM, 2010) has recommended dramatic redesigning of the nursing educational process. The health care workforce is comprised predominantly of nurses. Thus, it is necessary to strengthen and improve nursing’s educational process in order to achieve effective, high-quality patient care (IOM,
