Impact Of Nursing Informatics On Patient Outcomes And Patient Care Efficiencies

In the Discussion for this module, you considered the interaction of nurse informaticists with other specialists to ensure successful care. How is that success determined?

Patient outcomes and the fulfillment of care goals is one of the major ways that healthcare success is measured. Measuring patient outcomes results in the generation of data that can be used to improve results. Nursing informatics can have a significant part in this process and can help to improve outcomes by improving processes, identifying at-risk patients, and enhancing efficiency.

Discussion

Discuss the questions that would be important to include when interviewing a patient with this issue, including any risk factors she may have.

While interviewing the patient presenting with this specific issue, it would be essential to ask her regarding the exact location and position of the masses within the patient’s breast. It would also be imperative to ask the patient about the duration or period regarding the symptoms, the absence, the presence of pain, and the course regarding the symptoms (Sethi, 2016). It would also be essential to determine whether she has ever experienced the same complaint before, the treatment administered given that is the case, and the outcome concerning the remedy. Besides, any other signs or symptoms the patient has experienced and the realization of the masses are equally essential to ascertain, such as nipple discharge, loss of weight, and fatigue.

Describe the clinical findings that may be present in a patient with this issue.

The primary clinical findings that would be present are the two painless lumps located on the right breast and a significant loss in weight (Sethi, 2016). Patients with breast cancer are likely to develop concerns related to dimpling of the breasts and breast swelling. Breast dimpling and breast discharge are also remarkable clinical findings manifested in a person having this issue.

Are there any diagnostic studies that should be ordered on this patient? Why?

To confirm the exact diagnosis, it would be pertinent to order further diagnostic studies for her. The first diagnostic tests that are recommended for CM in this scenario relates to the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and a mammogram which would be deployed in providing detailed images about the breast, which in turn would indicate whether or not she has breast cancer (Shoko Vos et al., 2016). In addition, a primary needle biopsy would be used to remove or take some samples regarding the breast tissue. The biopsy will assist in determining if the patient has the issue of breast cancer.Women Health – Week 4 Discussion 2nd REPLY

List the primary diagnosis and three differential diagnoses for this patient. Explain your reasoning for each.

The primary diagnosis for this patient relates to breast cancer, and this is supported by the fact that the patient has two lumps located on the right breast. The presence of family history regarding breast cancer and the fact that the patient previously had atypical lobular hyperplasia also ate risk factors for the patient’s high likelihood of having breast cancer. The other three differential diagnoses which would be considered in this scenario encompass breast cysts, breast lipoma, and fibroadenoma (Shoko Vos et al., 2016).

The presence of lumps typically characterizes breast cysts, and as such, they ought to be incorporated in this patient’s diagnosis. Also, patients presenting with breast fibroadenoma have painless nodes, making this a likely diagnosis for this patient.

Discuss your management plan for this patient, including pharmacologic therapies, tests, patient education, referrals, and follow-ups.

The pharmacological treatment for breast cancer for this patient will encompass the administration of methotrexate, cyclophosphamide, and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) since these drugs have the potential of inhibiting the progression of breast cancer (Shoko Vos et al., 2016). In regards to patient education, CM will be informed to take a diet rich in vegetables, fruits, fresh foods, and fish since this has the potentiality of reducing the risks associated with the development of breast cancer. The patient will also be informed to engage in regular physical activity and exercises (Shoko Vos et al., 2016). Finally, the patient will be advised to revisit the healthcare facility given that her symptoms worsen. Women Health – Week 4 Discussion 2nd REPLY

Interventions to Reduce Mortality in Hospital Setting

Re: Topic 6 DQ 2

My topic is very complex because it focuses on the interventions to reduce mortality in hospital setting compared to other settings. I think that some of the solutions are to focus orientation training in new nurses and re-education on patient’s handoff report and receiving report. When outgoing nurse provides a clear picture of the patient to the upcoming nurse patients, outcomes are more likely to be satisfactory. Interventions to Reduce Mortality in Hospital Setting

I think it is crucial to practice giving and receiving report of all body systems with new nurses. Moreover, asking key questions during report in specific cases and medication verification, specifically IV medication. Another solution is to introduce barcode to all hospitals, this system has saved many lives avoiding medical errors.

Moreover, I would recommend hospitals to offer scholarships to nurses and hire nurses that are willing to get their BSN in X number of years. Finally, I would recommend hospitals to be part of the magnet recognition program.

In the beginning my interventions were focused on new nurses, as my research was advancing, I found that not only new nurses make mistakes, but they would benefit from education. Another interesting fact is that nurses that have higher educations whether they are new or not, have 10% less chances to make mistakes.

Re: Topic 6 DQ 2

Topic 6 DQ 2

My change project is focused on the mental and psychological health issues nurses may have after caring for Covid-19 patients during the pandemic after experiencing a high death rate. Unsurprisingly the pandemic has triggered a wave of mental health issues. Whether its managing addiction, depression, social isolation, or just the general stress that resulted from Covid-19, we are all feeling the added stress. (“Here’s How the Coronavirus Pandemic Has Changed Out Lives,” 2020)

The interventions that I will propose to the hospital will help reduce mental and psychological issues which will intern increase productively, increase revenue, and increase patient satisfaction.

The solutions I would like to see implemented as the result of my change project are: Interventions to Reduce Mortality in Hospital Setting

  1. Provide quiet spaces within the hospital setting for health care professionals to utilize for prayer, meditation, or decompression before, during, and after shift.
  2. Provide health care professional with access to telemedicine for mental health evaluations and on-going psychological treatment.
  3. Allow nurses access to in house Chaplains for prayer, meditation, and counseling with a faith driven perspective.

The interventions I have proposed have not changed since the first thought of my change project. What has changed is my knowledge on the need for the change and the importance of implementing some type of assistance for nurses and health care professionals battling with mental and psychological issues. The other items that have come forward while doing research on this subject is the importance of nurses to the overall well-being of the hospital and the impact nurses make on not only patient satisfaction, revenue, and overall hospital production.
