Implementation Plan

Develop a 5–7-page implementation plan addressing the various factors critical to the successful deployment of the new or upgraded telehealth technology that was the focus of the previous two assessments.

Technology continues to move at an accelerated pace, and the delivery of health care is shifting from office-based environments to the home. For this reason, health care organizations must be at technology’s cutting edge in order to remain competitive in today’s environment. Integrating the daily activities of patients into the health care continuum will improve the quality of care that is provided and enable more holistic care.

SCENARIO:

 

Work continues for the team at St. Anthony Medical Center in Minneapolis in charge of implementing a pilot telehealth program in rural Slayton, Minnesota. This program will allow students to interact with mental health counselors at St. Anthony Medical Center during the school day.

With key stakeholders on board, there are quite a few things for the team to consider.

Ana NguyenBehavioral Health Nurse Manager – St. Anthony Medical Center

Before we get started, I just want to share with the group how excited people in Murray County are about this program. There is so much enthusiasm and support. We even had an opportunity to speak with some of the students in their system and they were very interested in what we’re doing. They had some great ideas – not all of which can be implemented in the pilot, but which are worth exploring for future incarnations of this program. For now though, Tara and I are focusing on drawing up an implementation plan for the pilot.

Frederick MoraDirector of Quality Management – Vila Health Group

Good. I know we’ve talked about how the technology will integrate with our existing telehealth infrastructure. Be sure to address that thoroughly in the implementation plan. We need to be very clear about what changes, if any, will be required and what the plan is for making said changes.

I also find it very helpful when the implementation plan spells out the key implantation tasks and names the point person for each task. It makes it a lot easier to determine who to speak to when questions arise.

Christopher HewittVice President of Medical Support Services Implementation Plan

Another consideration when you’re putting the implementation plan together is to address change management. What approach is being taken and how will it affect users. What training are we talking about? That will need to be a significant section of the plan, I think.

Tara JenningsDirector of Nursing Informatics – St. Anthony Medical Center

This is great. Ana and I identified several of these points as things to address in the implementation plan, but not all of them. With training, we’d been talking about training needs from the school perspective, but neither of us factored in training for SAMC personnel. If nothing else, the tech support staff will be involved, but I know they aren’t the only department impacted by this project. I’m making a note to make sure we really think that section through.

Blake CarterDirector of Information Technology – Vila Health Group

Among other things, you will have to develop an implementation schedule, assign tasks and responsibilities for deploying the technology, and develop a post-deployment telehealth technology evaluation and strategy. To help you succeed at the complex set of tasks, talk to some of your colleagues and get their thoughts on how to proceed. Implementation Plan

Troy HollandDirector of Patient Services – St. Anthony Medical Center

Speaking to the change management issues, be sure you articulate the communication strategy. There are a lot of people collaborating on this project – parents, school officials, the students who are basically our patients. We need to anticipate as much as possible how it will be received. Leading a project like this is complicated. We need to be strategic about what leadership style is best suited to ensuring success.

Along those lines, the implementation plan should also describe the evaluation and maintenance plans. Because this is a pilot, factoring in a plan for analyzing short and long-term effects on both organizations. Workers – and in the case of the schools, teachers and students – will be impacted by this new program. The implementation plan should describe our plan for identifying what works and what doesn’t – and what we plan to do about things that don’t work.

 

Conclusion

Activity complete! In this activity, you had the opportunity to observe the planning committee identify key components of the implementation plan.

Diabetes And Heart Disease

Abstract

Patient care has received much attention in today’s healthcare system. It enhances the treatment plan by involving different health specialists in caring for the patient. Interdisciplinary approach involves elements such as leadership, teamwork, patient-centered practice, and through communications. The care providers ensure effective assessment of the condition thus meeting patient’s desires and needs. The team pools their knowledge and expertise together towards the recovery of the patients not just the treatment of the disease. Ideally, effective patient outcomes can be achieved through a collaborative approach to the treatment plan. This reduces readmission rates and avoids duplication of duties during the treatment process. The future of health care delivery depends on how effectively the health providers implement the interdisciplinary approach. In this paper, the interdisciplinary care plan will be drafted for McKay Johnson, a patient diagnosed with diabetes and heart disease.

Keywords: interdisciplinary, therapy, diabetes, heart disease.

Background Information

Patient Name:?

Age: ?

Sex: ?

Demographics: ?

Condition: (Diabetes and Heart Disease) or any other PMH

Situation: Patient is forgetful and lives alone

Medical History

Johnson was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in 2013, but he reports he had symptoms one year before the diagnosis. The medical record shows that he had fasting blood glucose records showing values of 118-127 mg/dl, which categorized his condition as “borderline diabetes.” In 2016, he was diagnosed with heart problem. Johnson has been controlling diabetes until last year when his family physician referred him to our hospital for special treatment of the disease. His wife reports that her husband began to experience abnormal heartbeats, difficulties in breathing, and high blood pressure. The diagnosis shows that Johnson recorded a pulse of 115 per minute while the systolic blood pressure was 180 mm/Hg. He had bulging neck veins, swelling in the legs, and fluids in the lungs. He had been on glyburide (2.5 g every morning), Gymnema Sylvester, and chromium picolinate to control diabetes. Johnson was also given Angiotensin II receptor blockers and Statins to control heart disease.

Johnson’s physical examination results show a BMI of 33.4 kg/m2, Pulse of 85 bpm, fasting glucose of 164 mg/dl, blood pressure of 160/96 mmHg, JVP of 7 cm H2O, and 20 respirations per minute. He has lung crackles, no retinopathy, swelling legs, non-palpable thyroid, no carotid bruits, and diminishing vibratory sense to the forefoot. He reports regular wheezing and dizziness throughout the day. The lab results presented by the nurse show that Johnson has cholesterol-to-HDL ratio of 4 (normal < 5.0), HDL cholesterol of 46 mg/dl (normal < 40 mg/dl), triglycerides of 180 mg/dl (normal < 155 mg/dl), AIC of 7.5 % (normal 4-6 %), sodium of 137 mg/dl (normal 136-146 mg/dl), potassium of 4.0 mg/dl (3.5-4.3 mg/dl), blood urea nitrogen 34 mg/dl (normal 6.1-30 mg/dl) and Urine microalbumin of 42 mg (normal < 30 mg)Diabetes And Heart Disease.

Medical Assessment

Based on Johnson’s medical history, physical examination, and lab tests, it is evident he has uncontrollable type 2 diabetes and heart disease. His hemoglobin level (7.5%) is slightly more than the normal indicators (4-7%). He has a BMI of 32. 4 kg/m2 and it is way above the BMI of a normal person. When an individual exceeds a BMI of 30, he is termed as obese (Pop-Busui et al., 2017). Johnson has elevated urine microalbumin and blood urea nitrogen. These are the indicators of heart problem and diabetes. Swelling legs, lung crackles, and regular wheezing are also the signs of heart disease.

Care Plan

Johnson presents uncontrollable type 2 diabetes and heart disease, which require a coordinated treatment process from all nurses across the concerned disciplines. The first step of the interdisciplinary team is to select the most pressing health issue and prioritize his medical care in order to formulate an effective treatment plan. The team has to follow the care plan for the two diseases.

Nursing Intervention Rationale
Assess the signs of hyperglycemia A patient who uses insulin to treat type 2 diabetes is at risk of developing hyperglycemia. Signs of hyperglycemia include headache, fatigue, tachycardia, dizziness, and visual changes.
Assess glucose level before and after the meals The glucose level should be between 140 mmHg and 180 mmHg. Non-intensive care patients should be maintained at less than 140 mmHg (American Diabetes Association, 2019).
Monitor patient’s hemoglobin level A level of 4-7% is desirable and shows the progress of the treatment process.
Monitor blood pressure, apical pulse and peripheral pulse Increased blood pressure is a sign of diabetes/heart disease. Low pulse is a sign of decreasing tissue perfusion.
Do not take an axillary temperature Elderly persons have poor peripheral circulation which contributes to the formation of pocket airs in axillary areas (Touhy, Jett, Boscart, & McCleary, 2018). This gives inaccurate results.
Assess feet for temperature, and swellings. Monitor the color of the skin This will help to monitor peripheral perfusion. Pale skin color is an indicator of decreased tissue perfusion.
Assess the pattern of physical activity Regular physical activities assist in lowering the glucose level (Naik, Dave, Stephens, & Davies, 2015). These activities prevent further complications of diabetes and cardiac disease.
Administer basal insulin Adhering to the prescribed medical regimens promotes tissue perfusion. This will keep glucose at a normal level.
Report BP of more than 155 mmHg (systolic) Hypertension is a common condition for diabetes and heart disease. Controlling blood pressure can prevent further complications such as stroke and retinopathy.
Monitor urine output as well as urine albumin Urine albumin is a sign of diabetes while urine output shows the control of both diabetes and heart disease.
Encourage Active ROM ROM prevents venous pooling and promotes tissue perfusion.
Encourage bedrest with the head of the bed elevated at 45 degrees This position prevents blood from returning to the heart thus increasing oxygenation and decreasing dyspnea responsible for cardiac attack (American Diabetes Association, 2015).
Evaluate patient’s understanding of the medical conditions and treatment plan This reduces medication errors. Non-adherence to the prescribed medication can lead to more complications such as hypoglycemia and stroke.
Administer and monitor medication regimen Proper administration of prescribed diabetic and heart disease medication is important in stabilizing glucose level, hemoglobin level, and blood pressure.
Review the patients current diet and nutritional needs Proper diet helps maintain the normal level of glucose level thus sustain the smooth flow of blood.

 

Treatment Goal

At the end of the treatment, Johnson should have blood glucose level of less than 180 mmHg, BMI of less than 30.0 kg /m2, Hemoglobin AIC level of less than 7%, blood urea nitrogen less than 30 mg/dl, and Urine microalbumin of less than 30 mg/dl. These results will be an indication of the successful treatment plan.

  • Description of your “community” at the city or county or municipality level; in other words, “who are these people?” in terms of demographics; you can typically find this demographic data from census databases or other national or local databases or information that is within the public domain.
  • You must include important epidemiological “person, place and time” information about your target community.  This includes the target population size and target population demographics.  Include local incidence and prevalence rates of health outcomes that are directly related to your chosen Healthy People 2020 health behavior.

*With regards to the “community”, I strongly recommend you target a relatively narrow segment or community.  For example, it would be advisable to choose to target the issue of underage drinking and subsequent car crashes in a target community within your county, city, town or local school district versus addressing this issue by choosing a chosen target community of your entire state. 

2.  Description of Your Health Promotion Program and Sample Size

(a) Provide detailed and specific information about your chosen “Building Your Own Health Promotion Program” intervention sample group in whom you plan on being your program participants in your eventually implemented “Building a Health Promotion Program Project”. This program intervention sample should be taken from within your chosen target community. You MUST provide a SPECIFIC INTERVENTION SAMPLE SIZE AND A SPECIFIC SAMPLE INTERVENTION LOCATION AND A SPECIFIC SAMPLE INTERVENTION START DATE AND COMPLETION DATE.  This will specify when the program’s intervention sample subjects will begin the program and begin to have activities administered to them.  This will also describe the completion date of the program.   You will eventually have specific health promotion program educational activities and components that you will develop and administer during the implementation period of your program.  If you decide to implement your program in a school or worksite or hospital or community center or place of worship or clinic within your target community then you must obtain try to obtain important descriptive statistical information and demographic information about your sample from the site manager or overseer.  Introduction to Target Community & Program Intervention Sample and Program  For example, if you decide to implement an obesity prevention program that targets first and second graders in your city because the city or county or state statistics reveal high child obesity prevalence rates in this area, then you may choose to implement your program at a local elementary school.  Your intervention sample would be first and second grade classes in this particular elementary school.  You will seek to gather basic information about the number of first and second graders in your chosen school and also seek to gather basic demographic data about the school population if at all possible.  Try to choose an intervention sample in which you will be able to research and find and report on all of this important demographic data.  This data will be important for your “stakeholders” as well as for your program planning.

3. Proposed Program. Conclude this proposal with a brief discussion of your idea for a health promotion program plan to meet your HP 2020/2010 objective, health behavior and associated health indicator (assuming the results of your needs assessment indicate a need).  Please use three (3) sources of research supporting this type of program.  Introduction to Target Community & Program Intervention Sample and Program
