Essays on Care

Previous studies reveal that mental health conditions affect a significant percentage of the population. For example, statistics of mental health in England in 2014 showed that approximately one in three men was suffering from mental health with women reporting higher incidences than men (Rise in Mental Healthcare, 2016). The figures are too large to ignore. Studies of populations at risk of mental health have taken different dimensions. While some studies have focused on the prevalence, other studies have attempted to investigate the risk factors associated mental health disorders. According to Bitsko et al. (2016), a combination of sociodemographic, community, ...

However, the presence of aging population comes with consequences and a responsibility to the state and the society in entirety. Principally, the aging population is associated with myriads of limitations ranging from healthcare to the higher dependency level. Thus, the aging population does not command the power and energy to produce positively to the economy of a country. Ideally, the broader societal views have shaped the old age policies in the USA, and this becomes the backbone of the essay. Principally, ...

• HITECH Act • Affordable Care Act (ACA) • CMC’s Rule 1599-F Implemented under CMS, HIPAA requires that CGH reduces costs while providing better healthcare in a patient-centered environment. This regulation works to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of any program that falls under CGH’s jurisdiction (Miaoulis, 2010). The regulation is ...

I have learned that in the free market medicine, the price of healthcare goods and services is determined freely by the agreement between the patient and the medical providers and that there is no government intervention to control demand and supply of the healthcare goods and services. In particular, this has helped improve the efficiency in providing the healthcare services by reducing cases of mismanagement as observed in the government controlled healthcare services. Additionally, the free market medicine has helped reduce the waiting time, and therefore patients can see the medicine providers more frequently (Stossel, 2013). Currently, the free ...

Executive Summary: Eliminating Discharge Delays

Executive Summary: Eliminating Discharge Delays Bed capacity has emerged as a critical issue in hospital quality management with evidence indicating that inefficient discharges contribute to slow care and patient flow while further increasing costs. Changes made to the prospective payment system by Medicare in recent years have increased pressure on hospitals to cut costs through, among other ways, reducing patient length of stay (LOS) (El-Eid et al., 2015).

‘Eliminating discharge delays’ is a quality management project that focuses on reducing patient length of stay and as such improving hospital throughput. The project entails implementation of several strategies that collectively ...

Milestones in Public Heath Informatics

There are several milestones in public health informatics history and one of them is specialization. The health field is vast and has many fields of concern to help the patients recover from various health complications and illnesses. Initially a doctor was supposed to be able to handle any health complications regardless of any aspects. Currently, the various areas that medical practitioners can specialize are such as disease prevention, epidemiology, laboratory health informatics, epidemiology among others (Yasnoff, O'carroll, Koo, Linkins & Kilbourne, 2000). With specialization in different fields and progress in information technology, the various areas of health concern can be ...

Advertisement is the key to success in selling goods, if the sellers have researched the audience well enough. Some advertisements are meant to change human behavior fro better. Advertisements for changing human behavior are far more difficult than selling goods. Public relations play the paramount important role in gaining public attention and “manipulating” or encouraging them. After “diagnosis” of the audience, using media of any kind, sellers attract people to their goods by promoting them. If there is a behavior change advertisement, the advertisers usually set a role model from public. In order to be a successful advertiser, one ...

Needs Assessment and Rationale Falls are a serious public health issue in the United States because it is the main cause of trauma-related incidents and injury-related emergency cases, and the leading cause of unexpected deaths among the elderly. People aged 65 and above comprise the majority of casualties from falls (Al-Faisal, 2006). The prevalence of falls rises continuously with age irrespective of gender and racial/ethnic affiliation. As reported by Stevens and colleagues (2010), “each year, about one-third of all older adults fall. In 2007, an estimated 1.9 million fall injuries among persons aged 65 years and older were treated ...

Public image of nurses: past, present, and future

Introduction Undoubtedly, the nursing profession has vital ingredients of accountability and autonomy. Also, it is true to assert that nursing profession demands more responsibilities than before when the main role of a nurse was just to provide comfort and care. In the modern world, a nurse is expected to be an advocate for clients, a manager, and an educator (Drayton & Weston, 2015). However, little attention is drawn towards the assessment of the actual public image and perception of nurses. Nurses seem to dwell in a dual structure of nursing and social worlds. The two worlds tend to influence and ...

Twitter before anything else a tool of communication, which large companies, such as airlines for example, use to improve the relationships with their clients providing them with a follow-up or additional customer care service.

Principles of Delegation

It would be easier for me to engage in the delegation process, using the principles of delegation, with an aim of ensuring that each of the patients receives the best quality of medical care while in the facility. In addition, these principles will also play a central role in building an environment of trust and confidence between members of the team, thus, allowing them to engage in effective performance.

The first principle that would apply to the case is a determination of what is to be delegated based on the number of patients that the team would handle at ...

In the article, “Diverging Development: The Not-so-invisible Hand of Social Class in the United States”, Furstenberg said that social class is quickly beginning to shape the development of children, even before the child is born. Classism is alive in the form of less opportunities for lower social classes, forming a class that isn’t necessarily unintelligent, but uneducated. There exists a stereotype against those of lower social classes that these people do not strive to rise in the social hierarchy, and they often receive sub-par assistance, in part, through this prejudice. The article argues that social class is part ...

Cost-containing strategies used by the U.S.A The rising cost of healthcare continues to claim a large portion of the United States of America's budget leading to the introduction of cost-containing strategies. One of the costs-containing strategies used by the U.S. health sector is the price option strategy. The price option aims at controlling the amount of money paid to the provider. For example, the introduction of Medicaid and Medicare programs that control the cost of delivering care by reducing the number of allowances paid to providers. Second, the U.S. health sector utilizes the quantity option strategy to contain high ...

Abstract

Scholars across the board have been persistent on the need for the near perfection of the concept of vital signs monitoring. Prior contributions to this field of knowledge all seem to bend towards correcting the wrongs that at times overwhelm the nursing practice, while at the same time constructing updates and ingenious suggestions towards the bettering of methods of monitoring vital signs. This paper cuts across the dimensions of nursing practice as applied in a reflective situation, and the evaluative outlook into the perks of vital signs monitoring as a physiological assessment process, its outcomes, and its repercussions both ...

CoolBurst: Case Study

Medicare and Managed Care

The U.S. government started initiatives to make medical assistance to as many citizens as possible. This program is one such initiative by the government. Medicare is a health program under the federal government that covers individuals who are 65 years and above. It also includes younger people with various disabilities. Also, people with renal diseases that require dialysis and any other medication are covered by this program. Medicare was created in 1965, ("What is the History of Medicare? | National Academy of Social Insurance", 2017). At this time, many people above 65 had difficulties accessing health care.

There is the need for seeing to it that the care which patients receive has been founded on evidence since such a move is aimed at achieving improved outcomes on the patient. In the same regard, the way a patient is assessed assists in developing the best forms of care which will adequately address all their healthcare needs. Therefore, the questions which I would ask my patients during all their visits for the purposes of providing them with individualized services will include the following.

How many times have you visited this healthcare facility?

Have you ever received some vaccination in this facility? Have you ever been vaccinated in ...

Although preventive care service provision has a general guideline, to offer evidence-based practice, the medical practitioners are under obligation to ask the patient the following questions, among others. The family history concerning particular diseases like cancer, hypertension, diabetes, and other genetic diseases. In this regards, the nursing officer would establish the susceptibility of the patient to these conditions. Diagnosing of family members with such conditions may occur along the way and, therefore, it is important the nurse gets to know about it every time the patient visits the clinic. Moreover, the nurse should ask about exercise and weight management ...

The general population of the United States quickly turns into being progressively diverse; on the other hand, the nursing occupation fails to do so. As a result, there appears to be an increased focus on the promotion of not only cultural competence but the multiplicity and variety in the framework of the nursing care as well. In spite of the fact that culture and diversity are extensively debated in the nursing training, the matter of racial discrimination might be evaded or even ignored at all. Institutionalized racial discrimination in the framework of the nursing training has to be recognized ...

Chapter 7

My general observation is that the society considers nurses as people who enhance the healthcare experience, while the real credit of serving healthcare, are taken by the physicians and the administrative staffs. Probably, a person admitted as an inpatient or admitted to the ICU would have realized the true value of nurses, but in general, the services of the nurse are often unappreciated and unrecognized. Though nurses engage in important healthcare activities, they are treated as subordinates and not as leaders of healthcare. Nurses rarely participate in decision making and in making a health plan. Lack of clear guidelines ...

The process of nursing care aims at ensuring that the care which patients are given in a health care facility has been tested and proven to result in positive outcomes. There are, however, instances where a particular nurse may be overwhelmed by their responsibilities or certain circumstances where the knowledge of a nurse regarding a particular care protocol may be deficient (Huber, 2013). In situations such as these, the delegation of responsibilities is needed. In this regard, a nurse in charge will be required to transfer the responsibility of performing such a task to another care provider while at ...

According to the Loc sin’s theory, individuals are seen to be greater than the sum of their parts. All the times, human beings are considered to be whole regardless of whether technology is utilized on them or even when they are sick (Locsin & Purnell, 2015). This theory expects nurses not just to try and fix the broken patients, but to care for the patients holistically. It encourages the mutual process between the nurse and the ones being nursed. I am greatly connected to this theory given the fact that I strongly believe that caring and technology can coexist ( ...

The demographic profile

As it has been indicated by Kumar et al (2014) in the scope of their study, the lion share of the statistical data on demographic profile of epilepsy from both developed and developing countries may be referred as a retrospective one. It means that there is an insignificant number of the studies, which pertain to the selected age group – children in the current realities of the 21st century (Garzon et al 237-245). As it was indicated by Garzon et al (2003), the core limiting factor in this case is the access to the professional health care services in the ...

Furthermore, I would incorporate conceptions of cultural diversity to improve the spirit and harmony at the correctional facilities. I would try to learn some of their cultural practices and values so as to know how to deal with them based on their cultural inclinations (“National Commission on Correctional,” n.d). Yes, cultural competence ...

For my comparative essay I decided to take next songs: No Doubt – “Just a Girl” (1995) and Colbie Caillat – “Try” (2014). I was thinking a lot about the topic of these songs. It seems to be that they are about gender or sexual identity, because each of these songs is about girls imagine. But after listening to the lyrics several times I understood both of songs describe gender identity. These songs are about girls but very different images of girls. The first song by band “No doubt” tells us about typical American girl of middle 90: she has her ...
