Recommendations for Your Organization Improving the individual experience of care. For the small organization like ours, the way we can contribute to improving the individual experience of care is by providing quality healthcare. As cliché it might sound, if any physician in any physician office fails to do so, all the other experience of the clinic visit simply cannot make up the deficiency patient felt from not getting quality care. I would recommend all the office staff to internalize the…

The theory of humanbecoming The theory of Parse focuses on viewing the human body as a whole not just body parts. It teaches a healthcare worker to view patients as important human beings that have a variety of necessities not just physical, but spiritual and emotional. The nurses and doctors in the GI lab have such an amazing way of interacting with every patient. They assess their emotional and spiritual well-being before starting the procedure. They demonstrate a passion for making sure the…

1. I do think terminally ill inmates should be addressed by correctional facilities with programs such as hospice care, especially those prisons who have a significant population of aged offenders; for example, Angola has 85% of its population already aging. Programs that address terminally ill patients, such as the hospice program, do not only benefit the patient, but also the inmate who volunteers and the nurses; it allows for the inmate to stop thinking in selfish ways because he is now…

C. (2001) talks of the many studies which have proven that if the spirit is low, a stay at the hospital can be longer as the will of the patient is not in the fight. It could be that the patient is worried about her pet that she has left home to be cared by a neighbor; it could be his garden that no one will be available to water since it is such…

One of the first places we begin to show age is the neck. These visible changes in the neck frequently include horizontal creases and vertical banding. Many times, these changes make an individual appear older than he or she feels. Dr. Sam Gershenbaum is an award-winning, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon who can address these neck creases and bands with a lower rhytidectomy (aka neck lift) at his surgery center in Miami. What is a Lower Rhytidectomy? A neck lift is a surgical procedure that…

following medical billing considerations are established by the American Medical Association (AMA). However, it is not required by law to adhere to the AMA Principles of Medical Ethics. Every medical facility is necessary to comply with HIPAA laws. If HIPAA is violated, a legal suit will follow. Confidentiality: A medical specialist is privy to very private and sensitive patient information. As a result, patient information should only be discussed with the patient, physician, and health…

When I think of the emergency department (ED) I think of chaos, blood, trauma, and death. The emergency department experience was something I was not looking forward to. When I think about fields of nursing that I would like to try, the emergency department was not on the list. I am glad to report that this clinical experience has changed my feelings about working in the emergency room. The emergency department is a fast-paced environment where people are constantly moving. Many of the patients…

Referral Reasons: The primary reasoning for the referral of Howard is due to having obsessive thoughts. Howard called his primary care doctor because he was feeling ill. The doctor reported that despite persistent effort , Howard was relentless to leave or allow anyone inside his theater room. He would talk to people through a wall claiming he did not want to get anyone sick. He seemed to have obsessive thought, and repeating certain words. Howards also believed that he was in the room for…

Nurse Ratched epitomizes an authoritarian leader with her superiority, and inability to collaborate with the other members of the ward. In attempt to assert her control over McMurphy, Nurse Ratched reminds him that, “‘You're committed, you realize. You are... under the jurisdiction of me... the staff." She's holding up a fist, all those red-orange fingernails burning into her palm. "Under jurisdiction and control—" (125). When threatened by McMurphy, she forces him to “realize” that he is…
