In order for my quality improvement plan to work, the following stakeholders must be part of the plan and fully support the plan. 1. Providers: The doctors must approve the plan and guide their staff in making sure that the correct information is disseminated to the patients. The reasoning is that they are ultimately responsible for this information and have the final say about antibiotic prescriptions. Additionally, doctors are typically the last person that speak to patients from a medical…
explore your religious tendencies. In this unit of American Lit, we learned about the puritans, rationalists, and Native American traditions. We read a poem by Anne Bradstreet, “The Burning of our House.” Some of the students chose to do the virtue chart that Benjamin Franklin did in 1726 so he could improve a specific thirteen virtues. We also analyzed a couple of Native American traditional poems. The puritans were a religious group that believed that man existed for the purpose of fulfilling…
safety of the patient. Many nurses do not like EMR because it is a mere change in our practice. I remember starting on EMR and thinking how much longer it was going to take me to chart. We have come a long way. Now, I can’t imagine going back to paper charting. I do catch myself being “click happy” with the mouse when I chart. I accidently click a box that I wasn’t supposed to, so, in my own experience, it can create error. Though, when it comes to looking at past notes and organization, it is…
Looking at the ADDS chart from admission to 0100 and relating the information to interventions provides valuable information. Using the five rights of clinical reasoning could the RN predict the outcome for Mr Jones? Identifying the right patient for “at risk” through clues picked up in the initial assessments is a valuable skill that improves patient’s outcomes (Levett-Jones, et al., 2009). Mr Jones was at risk upon presentation at the hospital as he had already experienced an hour of chest…
PONV has a significant impact on the patient and on the healthcare facility. Healthcare facilities are seeing increased costs related to PONV due to the resulting complications, unanticipated admission, prolonged nursing care, and delayed PACU or hospital discharge (Kovac, 2013). Not only is PONV a huge patient dissatisfier, there are life-threatening risks associated with this complication including aspiration pneumonia, esophageal rupture, subcutaneous emphysema, and bilateral pneumothoraxes…

The main focus of the paper is to inform you on the positives and negatives of different treatments. The first treatment talked about is cognitive…

time, the patient chart that is stored within the EHR needs to be accessible to those who are directly caring for the patient, thus improving patient care, safety, and efficiency. Having an EHR, you do not have one chart that must be shared, but a digital copy of the chart that multiple users can access from where ever they have the computer system, therefore increasing the providers ability to access records from home when they are on-call and decreasing time looking for a chart (Lorenzi,…
Citizenship is a status given by a government to some or all of its people. Rome gave citizenship to most of its people, whereas Athens gave citizenship very few of its people. The Roman government was more lenient to its population 45,000,000 people. The Roman government had a system set up for those who were foreigners and wanted to become citizens. The Romans may have been lenient, but they had limits for citizens too. Along with their limits they had a social structure within the government…
