If an error in one of the surgical packs was discovered, the first thing I would do is bring it to the immediate attention of Arnold Palmer’s supply partner, McKesson General Medical in order to determine whether or not the error occurred prior to the delivery of the shipment to hospital. I would ask their top manager in the supply management department to explain their shipping preparation process in detail, to help me understand at what stage and error might’ve occurred. If it can be determined that there error was not the fault of McKesson General Medical, then I will direct my investigation towards Arnold Palmer’s head of supply chain management, George Delong.
George Delong and I would go over the entire process that happens between the

    Mercy General Hospital (MGH) is considering altering the recipes for two of the egg entrées served to patients at breakfast. They would like to replace the eggs with egg substitute in the breakfast bake and veggie omelet, in order to make the entrées compliant for a heart healthy diet. This idea is in response to complaints from patients that the heart healthy breakfast menu is too repetitive. MGH has a Heart and Vascular Center, therefore they consistently have a high amount of patients who are on a heart healthy diet, and would like to accommodate their preferences. The breakfast bake and veggie omelet are each served once a week on the regular and consistent carbohydrate diets, but patients on a heart healthy diet receive scrambled eggs every day of the week.…

    I’ve had the opportunity of completing my clinical rotation at Baptist Hospital with the medical team in which I've observed the different participants in the collaborative team and the specific role each person played. The team consists of physicians, surgeons, social worker, ARNP, physical therapist, and occupational therapist. While observing the team, the best outcome for the patient's treatment and prognosis is focused on before being discharged. For example, if the patient does not have insurance coverage, community resources are addressed to assist and provide the patient with the proper care post discharge. Learning how cares for patients that have been newly diagnosed with various neurological diseases as well as their long-term care…

    This week's discussion board concerns that of quality in the operating room. The case of Forthright Medical Center: Social marketing and the Surgical Checklist is very interesting in that all of the issues that came about during the surgery could have been easily avoided if the staff was properly trained and made aware of the hospitals mandated new quality improvement initiative. In fact, the case was a little comical because of the "what can go wrong, will go wrong" factor. It was also interesting how the surgeons and other staff members were overly concerned with time constraints rather than patient safety and quality. In the future, Forthright should continue with their marketing strategies by awareness programs and continual staff training…

    On February 4th and 5th I had an ICU rotation to 3 South at Moses Cone Memorial Hospital which is a surgical ICU unit. The unit I am usually on is 2900, which is a Cardiac ICU at the same Hospital. Both units being ICU, I wasn’t sure how much a difference there would be between the two. However, there was a big difference between the two ICUs. Of course some things were the same, such as the layout of the unit (the pods, computers, and medication rooms).…

    Mislabeling something in the operating room can cause severe harm to the patient. The accuracy of medication can be the difference between life and death. Mislabeling is a mistake that can be avoided by careful attention to detail. The operating room consists of a fast pace that is a matter of life and death for the patient. When a prescription is given to a patient it is triple checked by the different staff that is administering it, in a fast pace, this may be overlooked.…

    Hello Briaane, I concur with your statement that the medicine wheel can be used as a tool in various ways. The medicine wheel is an important tool to increase self knowledge and self care and when applied to Aboriginal peoples, it enhances the understanding of the needs that are met and those that are lacking (Mussell, 2005). It also is a framework that explains the importance of balance of living beings which is paramount for human development (Wenger-Nabigon, 2010). In my opinion, the medicine wheel is a model health care researchers should utilize for Aboriginal based researches in order to holistically address all the needs of the people. In addition, researchers can use the medicine wheel to monitor and reflect on the progress of health…

    Electronic Medication Administration Record and Patient Safety One of the reason medication related deaths occur are due to medication errors (Karen, 2011, p. 1). In fact, within the United States, approximately 7,000 people die each year due to medication errors (Karen, 2011, p. 1). According to Karen (2011) 1.3 million medication errors occur yearly, which relates to several injuries and approximately one death a day related to medication errors in the Unites States (Karen, 2011, p. 1). One major cause of medication errors can be explained using the medication administration process (Mccomas, 2014, p.590).
