Introduction When we talk about “Never Events” in medicine, we are referring to a list of errors or adverse events that should never happen to a patient while in the care of a hospital or physician. Some examples are wrong site surgery, mismatched blood transfusion, or hospital acquired pressure ulcers. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) defines Never Events as “serious, preventable and costly medical errors”. Never Events and “Serious Reportable Events” share the same meaning…

Nursing: In Safe Hands One thing that is continuously spoken about in school and in clinical rotations is patient safety. The Massachusetts Department of Higher Education has created ten Core Competencies for the nurse of the future. “In the model, nursing knowledge has been placed at the core to represent how nursing knowledge in its totality reflects the overarching art and science of the nursing profession and discipline” (Massachusettes Department of Higher Education, 2010). Knowledge…

The joint commission inspected the Community memorial hospital to evaluate if the standards of quality were met or not. Accordingly what was discovered was that the staff specifically the nurses were not reporting medication errors either not on time or not even done at all. Frances Ballentine RN, MSN, VP for Nursing Services at this hospital assigned by the CEO to fix the problem and the problems resulting from not completing these necessary regulatory forms. She was given a six month period to…

Background Information A literature review of patient handoff, and communication gaps of patient information during intrahospital patient transfers. The communication of complete and accurate patient information can be challenged, because of increasingly fast-paced and complex health care environments. Patient Handoff refers to, the process of transferring primary authority and responsibility for providing clinical care to a patient from one departing caregiver to one oncoming caregiver.…

Introduction Medical errors and unexpected side effects occur relatively often in the hospital setting, where in 1999, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) reported that medical errors resulted in roughly 98,000 deaths per year, becoming the eighth leading cause of death for patients (Phillips-Bute, 2012). While this number is very alarming, the amount of public concern toward medical errors are nearly nonexistent, resulting in patients having little understanding of their rights when their health…

How The Reformation Contributed to The Council of Trent The Council of Trent, as Paolo Sarpi recalled in his Istoria del Concilio Tridentino, described the event as the “Iliad of our time” due its long and climatic History. The Council’s Purpose as stated in the bull Laetre Jerusalem, was to “eliminate religious discord and to reform the Christian people.” However it is often discussed how much the Protestant concerns were ignored and overlooked in favor of making very little change in the…

Percy Township south of the Trent River some 25 km away. The Trent defines the border between Asphodel and Percy. William used these two oxen for the dual use of farming and lumbering. As the spring warmed and it became June the oxen were let out of the barns for feed on the lush grass for the very first time after they were bought, which was in 1831. That night, a relatively short one, for it was June, these two intrepid animals headed south through the bush, got to the Trent River, swam across…

There are many people and religious sects that resemble the Scribes and Pharisees from when Jesus was walking the earth. Even though there is plenty of evidence of the events that took place some two thousand years ago, people and religious groups do not believe they had taken place. Some groups that could resemble the Pharisees and Scribes of today lack some of the attributes of the teachers of the past. When Jesus was dealing with the questions of the different religious sects of the day, He…

The relationship between the two nations, United States and Great Britain, grew far apart during the Civil War. British North America (BNA) was also involved in this war but as a colony for Great Britain, it did not have much decision in the war. As BNA was a colony, it followed the actions of Great Britain. The relationship between the two nations heavily influenced a change in the British colony north of the 49th parallel. Conflicting relations between the Unites States and GB during the…

The Council of Trent spanned a lengthy 18 years (1545-1563) and proved to be one of the most significant of the 21 ecumenical councils convened in Church history. Despite the import of an historical event which influenced Catholic teaching for years to come, little work has been written on this particular council. However, Fr. John O’Malley, S.J., has presented a detailed recounting of this remarkable event in his book, Trent: What Happened at the Council, published by the Belknap Press of…
