The health sector is the fundamental part of every economy in the world; hence every country strives improving to keep up the pace with the global health status. In most cases, improved health outcomes depend on both internal and external factors that affect patient outcomes, while the external factors involve aspect from other sectors of the economy including political, legal, as well as economy factors (Sopcheck, 2016). For example, in patients suffering from ventilator acquired pneumonia, political, legal, and economic factors influence the choice of treatment alternative adopted. Furthermore, there are various nursing prevention approaches for this ailment. However, …show more content…
Therefore, it is evident that the political factors have a significant impact on patient outcomes as a branch of health care. For instance, political factors like political institutions and political decision-making adopt the recommended health care policies. Subsequently, such adoptions provide the license for various health care institutions to start practicing such interventional approaches in the attempt to improve patient outcome. For example in the treatment and prevention of ventilator-acquired pneumonia, the government’s political factors must pass conduct research to allow the use of evidence-based interventions. Aerosolised antimicrobials, as well as the colonization of the aerodigestive tract, involved a single set of treatment and prevention interventions (Abdellatif et al, 2016). Therefore, the political institutions conduct research to determine the most effective interventional approaches. For example, the federal government put in place various regulatory policies, which provide the permission of adopting the various interventions for illness. These include the Agency for healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) and Oncology Nursing Society. In particular, these institutions conduct research to determine the effectiveness of an intervention to increase clinical outcomes on pneumonia patient (Grove, Gray and Burns, 2014, p. …show more content…
However, to achieve these positive milestones, healthcare sectors must depend on other external factors to ensure the effective fulfillment of patient outcomes. For example, to increase the patient outcomes for people suffering from ventilator-acquired pneumonia, economic, legal, and political factors are imperative. Therefore, the practitioners must consult these factors effectively.
