Standardized Coding Systems The coding systems and standardized clinical expressions are connected; with the coding schemes developed for classification systems, nomenclatures, and clinical languages. According to Rutherford (2008), standardized nursing language can upsurge the patients’ quality of nursing care through contribution of “better communication amongst nurses and other healthcare providers, increase visibility of nursing interventions, improved patients care, enhanced data collection

In this article, the authors investigated the vulnerabilities in emergency department to internal medicine patient transfers through self-administered surveys of all emergency medicine house staff. More specifically, the survey investigated adverse events due to faulty communications during handoffs. According to this survey, 29% of the emergency staff reported either an adverse or near-miss event due to errors during handoffs. Furthermore, the survey respondents identified inaccurate or incomplete
of 11 institutions. With over 4,000 employees and a million patients Peachtree's IT infrastructure has not kept up with their growth. The current IT system is not reliable, efficient and secure. The company mission is to provide "quality, consistency and continuity care across the entire network" delivered with "efficacy, economy and respect for patients and staff".

Overview of the Problem The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that all children be screened for developmental delays using a standardized tool at 9, 18 and 30 months of life.

In our hospital outpatient clinic system, pediatric care is provided both in a 2-site pediatric practice and in 5 affiliated family
control, offering the shots in only eight MinuteClinic locations. This effectively shows their ability to respond immediately to unexpected events and ultimately reflect their willingness to help by creating an image of reliability. They also impressed patients by creating children’s areas to make the wait easier for families, adding televisions, videos, and coloring books to keep little ones entertained. This is how MinuteClinic proved that they care for the wellness of their community. 4. How important
Commission has acknowledged the severity of complications associated with communication mistakes, for as much as 70% of adverse medical events, 75% of which lead to patient death, are a result of communication breakdowns. Barry (2014) also states that instances of miscommunication cause over two-thirds of adverse effects among patients. As noted by Malekzadeh, Mazluom, Etezadi, and Alireza (2013), as much as 69% of medical errors are preventable in nature and the fact that these issues still plague
nurses rely on patient care technicians to assist in providing patients the best care possible. Ineffective communication between registered nurses and patient care technicians plays a critical role in having improved information flow, effective interventions, enhanced employee morale, improved patient safety and patient satisfaction (O’Daniel & Rosenstein, 2008). The purpose of this paper is to introduce the issue of ineffective communication between registered nurses and patient care technicians
there are limitations that insurance companies and the government have set forth to the number of days a patient can reside there dependent upon his diagnosis and condition. Intensive care units will continue to undergo strain due to high census, and decisions to discharge patients will be effected (Wagner, Gabler, Ratcliffe, Brown, Strom, & Halpern, 2013). Typically, the decision to have a patient occupy an ICU bed is based upon whether or not they are sick enough to be there or if they are well enough
for curing a patients ills, just like teachers are responsible for raising student performance. For doctors, there are many factors involved in treating the ill such as diagnosis, insurance, family history, medicine, treatment plan, and tests. For educators, there are also many factors involved in increasing student performance, such as identifying learning deficiencies, financial resources, student’s culture and socioeconomic background, curriculum, student effort, and standardized testing.
