Consumer Informatics/Telehealth Case Study

Consumer Informatics/Telehealth Case Study

Mr. Kasich is a 77-year-old who was recently taken to the emergency room after he fell while trying to get out of bed. There, he was found to have a blood glucose level of 35 milligrams per deciliter and was diagnosed with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes mellitus and hypoglycemia, despite many years of well-maintained blood glucose levels. After further assessment, Mr. Kasich was transferred to a medical room in the hospital. His background includes diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus, advanced congestive heart failure and lung cancer. Has Medicare parts A and B. Lives with wife in a remote area that is 40 miles from the closest healthcare provider. Is proficient using his home computer. Mr. Lane is a 42-year-old who was admitted for exacerbation of heart failure. His background includes having diabetes mellitus type 2. Is a long-haul truck driver with a large trucking company. Is privately insured. Is single and primarily lives in his truck. Both Mr. Kasich and Mr. Lane are going home with telehealth, consisting of a telemonitoring device that transmits weight, blood pressure, blood glucose levels, and pulse oximetry to a remote telehealth nurse. Even though the use of telehealth does not often include hands-on interaction, the goal of keeping patients out of a hospital is consistent with quality nursing practice. Telehealth applications are designed to enhance the patient experience and improve clinical outcomes while providing care for patients in their home environment rather than an institutional setting. Telehealth supports self-care by empowering patients, which is a central tenet of nursing practice.  Consumer Informatics/Telehealth Case Study

The patient is 45 years old but does not currently meet the criteria for complete brain death as defined by the Arizona state legislature in “4-1107. Determination of Death and Status; Rules.” The spouse of the patient has consulted with the attending physician. The attending physician informed the spouse that the patient could survive but would likely require life support. Half of the family is insisting that the patient “wouldn’t want to live this way,” and the other half is accusing the other family members of wanting to “kill” the patient. Some allegations have been raised about a substantial inheritance for some family members upon the patient’s death. The battle is becoming intense, and it is beginning to disrupt the medical and nursing staff. Benchmark: Brain Death Scenario

Healthcare Informatics In Primary Care Pediatrics

/in /by

Healthcare Informatics In Primary Care Pediatrics

The focus of this assignment is to increase your knowledge and understanding of how informatics, specifically the electronic medical record, improves pediatric patient health outcomes. Caring for the pediatric patient has unique elements that are not applicable in the adult population. Examples are growth and development surveillance, vaccine records, and transitional changes that affect “normal findings” by age group. For example, the normal respiratory rate of a newborn is significantly different from that of a 10-year-old. Additionally, pediatric healthcare providers are expected to educate parents with “anticipatory guidance” according to the age of the patient. For this assignment, you are expected to analyze the utilization of the EMR that you are using in your clinical practicum and evaluate how this particular EMR system is improving health outcomes. For example, does the EMR that you are using have mechanisms in place that track growth and development, which has led to early identification of abnormals?

This assignment has three parts. The first part is identifying the recommended pediatric-specific functionalities of the EMR system you are using. The template will guide you through the first part of the assignment by addressing a sample of key functionalities.

Part 2 addresses some basic functions that would be recommended in any non-specific EMR.

Part 3 asks you to discuss how your system is addressing certain outcomes, such as safety, collaboration, and the prevention of medication errors.
