Preparing for the Assignment

BACKGROUND

Healthcare is readily embracing any technology to improve patient outcomes, streamline operations, and lower costs, but we must also consider the impact of such technology on privacy and patient care. This technology includes the use of social media applications, such as Facebook, Instagram, MySpace, Twitter, and LinkedIn on smartphones.

NR360 INFORMATION SYSTEMS IN HEALTHCARE

In healthcare today, smartphones are widely used for communication, efficiency, and care. Obviously, a variety of issues (ethical, professional, and legal) from both the personal and hospital perspectives

must be considered. SCENARIO

You are a nurse in the emergency room, working the Friday 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. shift, and your evening has been filled with the usual mix of drunken belligerent teens, wailing babies, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbations, falls, fractures, and the routine, regular congestive heart failure (CHF) patients. Your best friend is texting you from the concert that you had to miss tonight because you were scheduled to work, and you respond to her between care of patients, jealous that she is there and you are not. “What a jerk to torture me like this!” you think to yourself.

It is now 2 a.m., and the medics radio once again, notifying you of an incoming motor vehicle accident victim, ETA of 5 minutes. You sigh and opt to use the restroom, rather than getting that much‐needed cup of coffee, and prepare a room for your next patient. The medics roll in and begin to fill you in. The patient is a 28‐year‐old male, a passenger on a bus that was involved in a crash, leaving the vehicle overturned after rolling over an embankment. There were several fatalities among the bus passengers, and “this victim has remained unconscious, though his vitals are currently” . . . and as you start to focus on the patient, you take a second look. Can it be? It is! The lead singer, Jerod, from the band “Blue Lizards,” who you have adored since you first heard his voice! The band had just left the concert that you had missed last evening when the accident occurred. You quickly text your best friend . . . “Can youbelieve?” and she responds with “Yeah, right. PROVE IT.” So you quickly snap a picture with your smartphone, when alone with the patient, and send it to her. Can’t hurt, right? Celebrities are “public property,” and that’s a part of their life, right? Just for good measure, you snap a few more pictures of the unconscious singer in various stages of undress and then a shot of his home address, phone number, and demographic information from his electronic health record. You sit your phone down on the bedside table for a minute as you continue your assessment of the patient.

At 7:00 a.m., you drag your tired body home and straight to bed after a long but eventful night.

What happens next? Choose an ending to the scenario, and construct your paper based on those reflections:

  1. You are the following nurse on the day shift and discover the night nurse’s phone on the bedside table. While trying to figure out to whom it belongs, you open the phone and see thephotographs taken the night before. Holy moly! What a find, and nobody could trace you to the photos.
  2. You receive a call from the gossip paper the Gossip Gazette, offering you $20,000 for the photos you have taken (courtesy of your best friend). Your identity would never be revealed, and you desperately need a new car and are behind on some bills.
  3. You go on Facebook, on your day off, and talk about the night you had at work and how youdidn’t really feel as bad having to miss the concert, because you actually got to meet Jerod in person and even “Got his number!” You then post a picture of Jerod on Facebook and

Instagram, figuring that most of your contacts would never recognize him anyway. It’s your day off and your personal time, so no harm, no foul, right?

4. You receive a message the next morning from a peer at work that there is a big investigation being conducted at work due to a HIPAA violation and that it involved a celebrity who had been admitted to the hospital. The word is that legal action is being taken against the hospital due to some photos that were sold to the Gossip Gazette. Knowing that the photo you sent is safe with your best friend, you reach for your smartphone, but it is nowhere to be found.

Pre-requisites for person-centred care: reflective paper 

Task Description:

During PEP, you will regularly encounter clinical episodes that both challenge and enhance your developing professional practice. The purpose of this task is to generate a reflective paper focussed on ONE of the five ‘prerequisites’ of the person-centred nursing framework. These ‘prerequisites’ are considered the essential attributes for health professionals to facilitate person-centred outcomes (McCormack, Manley & Titchen 2013). These are identified as follows: 

1. Professionally competent

2. Developed interpersonal skills

3. Commitment to the job 

4. Clarity of beliefs and values

5. Knowing ‘self’ 

From your PEP , consider a clinical encounter (either through direct observation of other health professional/s or your own actions), where you felt a pre-requisite may have been lacking or questionable. Briefly outline the situation and identify which pre-requisite/s may have impacted/contributed to the patient outcome. 

Choose ONE of these as your focus and briefly relate this to the literature regarding person-centred outcomes and why this pre-requisite is considered an important attribute for practitioners. You will also be required to consider your own practice to ensure you adequately meet this pre-requisite as you progress through the final stages of your degree and continue to establish your professional identity. 

Additional resources including a template to populate with your reflection is attatched.

DB 6 RESPONSE TO BUKOLA
As the population increases, infections, diseases, and health concerns also increase. As a result, public health is faced with needing to do more while the available resources are limited. Many people have turned to Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) to help drive performance excellence with the available resources to address the increasing health issues and conditions with the limited available resources. CQI is a deliberate and defined process that focuses on activities that are responsive to the needs of a community and the improvement of community health (Hill, Stephani, Sapple& Clegg, 2020). It entails continuous efforts to achieve measurable improvements in efficiency, accountability, effectiveness, and performance. The main benefits of CQI are that it embraces a culture of safety, it is effective, it is patient-centered, it is cost-effective and less expensive to maintain, and it is efficient and proactive since it can recognize and solve problems even before they occur.

ORDER   A PLAGIARISM-FREE PAPER   NOW

As a public nurse, I will use the PCDA model to improve community health by using identifying existing problems and developing an action plan, executing the project through collaboration and partnership with other stakeholders, analyzing the results and comparing them with the previous cycle then correct the failures detected (Sun, Cao, Yang, & Yuan, 2021). In the Plan step, I will identify the existing problem, an increase in STIs among teens, which needs to be solved as soon as possible. This step will involve developing work plans and training schedules o train teens on sex education. Additionally, this step will include the development of work strategies that require the incorporation of partnership and the roles of each partner and stakeholders. The Do step will involve conducting sex education among youth in the communities collaborating with different partners, including community organizations, schools, and government agencies. Since it is the step where the action plan will be carried out, its effectiveness will determine the failure or success of the process. The check step will involve analyzing the data to see the changes in STI transmission among teens after the intervention. This step will also help to identify failure in the process. Finally, the Act step will involve correcting the failures detected. Nursing homework help
Some of the partners involved in the intervention include; government agencies, schools, community support organizations, health care, and service providers, affinity groups, and non-profit partners such as the corporation Media Company. Some of the benefits of these partners are that they increase the lease of knowledge and expertise. Also, they lower the costs of the process since partners pull together resources. Additionally, they contribute to better alignment of goals and objectives, thus increasing the process’s efficiency and effectiveness.

DB RESPONSE TO HOLLY
Continuous Quality Improvement and Plan-Do-Study-Act Model
Continuous quality improvement (CQI) is used in healthcare settings to address system issues, as well as improve already functional performances by reviewing differing techniques (Stanhope and Lancaster, 2020). By continuously reviewing performances and how they are done, healthcare professionals can see if and where any improvements can be made. CQI is an examining tool that encourages proactivity rather than reactivity. The Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) model can be used during CQI.
To explain the PDSA model, the concern for obesity in children will be examined.
Plan: Note opportunity and create change (Stanhope & Lancaster, 2020). Example: Identifying unhealthy food choices in the public school cafeteria and establishing healthy menu options.
Do: Implement change and initiate a brief study (Stanhope & Lancaster, 2020). Example: Assess elective adherence to food changes and monitor BMI. Nursing homework help
Study: Study data and results (Stanhope & Lancaster, 2020) Example: Analyzing pre and post intervention BMI to determine if the objective is achieved.
Act: Determine if change improves health status (Stanhope & Lancaster, 2020). If improvement is noted, use what was learned and restart the PDSA cycle (Stanhope & Lancaster, 2020). If no improvement, restart PDSA with another change (Stanhope & Lancaster, 2020). Example: The children’s BMI has decreased, while nutritional needs are still being met.
