Short Reflection On CPA Exercise

Decent Essays
Register to read the introduction… I downloaded the Trusts CPA policy in order to ensure that the required areas had been met sufficiently. I then hunted around for a discharge summary report done on other patients so I could see how others had compiled the report and what information they had included, but unfortunately these are not kept in hard copy on the ward as the patients file is not kept on the ward after discharge. I could not access an electronic copy as my Trust password only gave me limited access to file drives. I asked a nurse to email me a copy of a report, however this was a blank template as the nurse had difficulty locating a completed report. I compiled the report by following the blank template and searching through the patients file in order to find relevant information to inform the report. Prior to writing the report I completed risk assessments on the patient in order to report on relevant current …show more content…
I thought about the sort of things I would like to know about the patient if I was the manager of the home receiving the report and ensured that these things were covered. As I had been acting as co-keyworker for the patient, I knew her well. However I am aware that compiling the report for a patient I did not know so well would have been more difficult. I sought some advice from the nurse on duty as I was compiling the report and he offered some feedback on expanding on certain areas. I emailed the completed report to my mentor in the first instance for approval as he was not on shift that day. My mentor was satisfied that the report was comprehensive enough to go with the patients notes on discharge without any additions or changes. I later sought feedback from my mentor as to any additional comments that I could have included and the feedback I got was that the report was comprehensive and nothing had been missed. However I did not have time to copy and anonymise the risk management plan and the final care plans that went with the patient as these are hand written and the file had gone off with the patient by the time I returned from my day off, so this is not included with the discharge summary. However, I did have time to anonymise the DICES risk assessments and the discharge plan that I compiled in the course of writing the discharge

    After choosing scenario number three, I determined there was no conflict of principles or values in regards to me making the right decision. The nurse was in violation of hospital policy and in violation of HIPPA, which requires me to report the situation for patient safety. I would report what I saw to the charge nurse, instead of approaching the senior nurse and possibly having the situation become hostile. The ANA provision that mainly applies to the situation would be provision 3.1, which is the protection of the rights of privacy and confidentiality of the patient. The nurse violated this provision by looking in the chart of the patient in order to learn why the patient sought care.…

    1. I agree that increasing the router memory to infinite cannot control congestion because even if routers have an infinite amount of memory, congestion gets worse, because by the time packets reach to the front of the queue, they have already timed out (repeatedly), and duplicates have been sent. 2. Flow Control vs Congestion Control It ensures that the sender only sends what the receiver can handle.…

    I need to determine if the data in the reports affect patient care or the workflow for that day. Waiting to handle this situation until later in my day seems logical considering the previous manager did not address the issue directly with me before leaving. The reports are financial reports for the past 3 quarters and the sense of urgency around this task will have to be revisited and handled appropriately. For example, if billing needs me to go through the reports to pin point claims that were denied for the last 3 months, correcting employees’ mistakes, I would have to work with billing to get a new deadline date. Collaboration between myself and who requested review of these reports is key because, as a new manager, coming into a situation where the previous manager did not follow through correctly, I would need time to properly address all issues within the reporting.…

    HIPAA-Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 was designed to protect a patient by specifying detailed instructions on how to handle the client’s information and keeping it private. Congress adopted the federal law with specifics on letting the client know how their privacy will be protected by clearly stating how it will be used and kept, the client must receive informed consent, and the process of transferring their records. So exactly what is the law supposed to do? Who does it protect and to what extent is this protection in place?…

    The best interpretation of a dental hygienist that I can conceive is a professional whose main job is to teach their clients the essential oral hygiene skills and provide dental care in order for the client to maintain their overall oral health. Among the various responsibilities performed for the client to insure their health and safety includes making sure, we, as dental hygienists first do not harm to the patient by contaminating with pathogens that could have easily been disposed of by simply following the standard rules of infection control. As stated by Ester Wilkins “Dental healthcare personnel have a professional obligation to serve all patients with comprehensive oral care, including patients with known or unknown communicable diseases.…

    Before the start of class… Before the start of this course, I had a vague understanding of what it meant to be a supervisor. My understanding of this role centered on the idea that as a supervisee, I would go to my supervisor and discuss a case. Sometimes, I would see my supervisors jot down notes, other times they would merely listen to the case being presented. There was never a constant in the way that any two supervisors would approach the supervisory role.…
