Health care is catching onto this development and starting to integrate technology into their work however, secondary health care settings are lacking behind time (Vadillo & Rojo 2016). Although some hospitals throughout the world have successfully transitioned into electronic clinical notes, some are still waiting to…
is a reflection on my anticipated health care practice. It was required that I choose a group that was effected by the diversity of ethnicities, religions, genders, sexualities and abilities in the Australian population. I chose to do a mental disability, which was dementia. Four components will be addressed into this essay; the barriers to health care access and good care, my attitude, values and beliefs towards those with dementia, culturally safe health care practices that I might undertake…
The precautions that health care workers must take to ensure safety are quite similar to the prevention of HIV. There are programs and classes, health care workers must take to learn how to prevent HIV and prevent it from spreading. For example, blood safety is one precaution that aims to strengthen blood transfusion services to ensure that all blood units are collected from healthy donors who are suitable to donate by screening for transfusion infections such as HIV. This also goes for the same…
comparison to the general population (Pope, 2011, Nankivell et al., 2013). Besides, other research reveals that health care providers ' negative attitude can considerably affect these patients ' treatment outcome as well as their overall well-being (Stuber et al., 2014). Psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners (PMHNP) can play an essential role in removing barriers to health care by advocating for the rights of mentally ill patients and providing psychoeducation training to medical…
Literary work must be included in global health because it brings the medical professional to a deeper understanding and connection with ailments and what their patients might be facing. The article “Where does it hurt?” by John Holden, John Kieffer, John Newbigin and Shelagh Wright begins by stating how much more is involved when a person is sick or hurting (Holden, Kieffer, Newbigin & Wright, 2014). The passage begins “When someone says “I’m feeling fine” or “I’m hurting” they’re usually…
Communication is essential to the health care interdisciplinary team for patient’s satisfaction, safety, and efficiency to deliver quality care. I would address the problem of patients’ long delay during pretesting in the staff meeting to make sure the whole team is aware of the situation. “A delayed in treatment is when a patient does not get a treatment that had been ordered for them in the time frame in which it was supposed to be delivered” (The Joint Committee, 2016). Consequently, my…
Rural-Community Health Care Professional Health care professionals who choose to practice in rural communities face a series of barriers and sets of opportunities rather than a health care professional who practices in a suburban or urban environment. Regardless of the location of the health centre, it’s essentially crucial to give a patient the required amount of care to nurture them healthy. Unfortunately, health care in rural communities is small but the population of health care…
see the full picture and resort to brash assumptions. A number of individuals have stated that they distrust the health care system, believing that it is corrupt, and may be biased towards who receives care. People go against medical opinion, far too often because of their distrust, which can lead to traumatic near death experiences. It is difficult for people to trust the health care system, it is critical that people trust their doctors in order to get the treatments they need. Most…
patient -satisfaction scores are a serious concern for many organizations. Therefore, improving patient safety and quality through education about the use of medications, especially after hospital discharge, has become major initiatives for many health-care organizations. The discharge and the period immediately following can be a vulnerable time for patients putting them at increased risk for medication error and non-adherence to their medications. Comprehensive discharge instructions are…
emergence of better technologies has improved delivery of health care services. Not only can patients experience quality-of-life but also effectively participate in the treatment process. However, because of the benefits of technology, physicians, psychiatrists, and other healthcare professionals continue to anticipate the future of the field of health care (Bradley et al., 1999). Most importantly by pursuing perfectionism in the provision of health care services. Even so, it has increasingly…
