The document summarizes an Ebola preparedness training program offered by MSC, a healthcare simulation company. The program uses simulation to train healthcare workers at hospitals on screening, isolating, and treating potential Ebola patients while ensuring staff safety. It involves classroom instruction, simulations of screening and treating Ebola patients with personal protective equipment, and competency assessment to help hospitals quickly increase staff competence in handling Ebola cases.
To address family history collection, interpretation, and application in busy primary care practices, NCHPEG has collaborated collaborating with the March of Dimes, Genetic Alliance, Harvard Partners, and the Health Resources and Services Administration to develop and evaluate a novel family history tool that focuses on prenatal and neonatal health. The tool helps to improve health outcomes for the female patient, fetus, and family by providing clinical decision support and educational resources for risk assessment based on family history. A set of screenshots and an overview of the module can be reviewed via this downloadable ppt.

Though a recent study found repeat colonoscopy is good for certain patients, accurate documentation is still a crucial factor to determine whether it is appropriate.
Patient safety is the cornerstone of high-quality healthcare services. In the presentation, A summary of the frameworks & practical approaches to improve safety of patient care.
Clinical practice guidelines are “systematically developed statements to assist practitioner and patient decisions about appropriate health care for specific clinical circumstances.”They are intended to offer concise instructions on how to provide healthcare services.The most important benefit of clinical practice guidelines is their potential to improve both the quality or process of care and patient outcomes. Increasingly, clinicians and clinical managers must choose from numerous, sometimes differing, and occasionally contradictory, guidelines.

La caractéristique d’un risque est d’avoir un effet potentiel sur l’atteinte d’objectifs. Quand des risques projet peuvent
compromettre la stratégie d’entreprise, ils doivent être gérés au plus haut niveau. Le PMO est l’interface idéale entre risques projet et risques d’entreprise.

Example of Rehab Center:
Rehabilitation and wellness center located in Maryland. The center makes positive contributions
to the communities and participates annually in fundraisers, raising money for causes ranging
from Alzheimer's disease research to breast cancer awareness. The site’s main goal is to achieve
excellence in the quality of care and life of their residents and to protect and improve the health
of the people within the rehab center and its communities. Some of the services provided are as
follows: care for infectious diseases, pulmonary/ventilator care, cardiac care, diabetes
management, dementia management, physical therapy, Palliative care, Dialysis and hospice/end-
of-life care. In-patients receiving dialysis receive care from a network of trained professionals,
including nephrologist, nurses, dietitians, social workers and other healthcare professionals. The
team practices a holistic, integrated process to help address all the health and daily care concerns
that a dialysis patient may face, working individually and collaboratively to achieve the best
possible outcomes for each person. Their pulmonary/ventilator care team provide both short-term
ventilator weaning services, as well as long-term ventilator and tracheostomy management. At
the site, they use comprehensive clinical care model featuring Nurse Practitioner Program, which
staffs licensed and certified geriatric nurse practitioners, with oversight by the company’s full-
time Chief Medical Officer. Quality Improvement Program at the site is designed to efficiently
manage changes in patient status, through early identification of issues, assessment,
documentation and a streamlined communications system that allows physicians and other
members of the interdisciplinary team to collaborate on care decisions, on-site or remotely,
around-the clock.

Development and ImplementationThe development process begins wit.docxlynettearnold46882
Development and Implementation
The development process begins with finding and sending trained professionals into the long-term care facilities that have a knowledge of the safety of older adults and the employees. Next, the professionals will educate the employees of the facilities on proper safety measures to use to protect themselves and their patients. After the employees, have completed the education course they will receive a certification and allowed to continue back to work. The safety professionals will go through each patient record and determine their specific needs and course of safety that should be used to prevent further falls and injuries. They will then inform the patients or their power of attorney’s over the new safety precautions that will be put into place. The new equipment that is required will be assessed and an order will be placed, such as new gait belts, lifts, rails, and walkers. After the equipment is ordered new safety tips and posters will be placed throughout the facility to allow patients and their families to read and become informed on the new ideas that are being formed in their loved one’s facilities.
The safety professionals will examine the statistics of an increase or decrease in falls after six months of the program development. They will then begin to survey patients, employees, and family members on the effectiveness of the program and if they would like to see it continue and improve in their facilities. This will determine if they enjoy the new ways that their caretakers are looking after their safety and if they feel more secure in their “homes.” All of the surveys will go the nursing home administrators to determine where to proceed next.
During the implementation process our safety program will use the PRECEDE/PROCEED method. The precede method will help to continue and maintain the measurable objectives for all of the safety projects that begin on the facility. The proceed method will monitor the quality of the program and if the program should continue. During the implementation process it is important that the administrator and program developers look at the program cost and amount and ensure that it is a wise decision to continue or even begin the program in their facilities. The hope of our program is that the employees will continue with the safety program after the safety professionals leave and will try to grow and expand their program and continue to make it their own.

Goals and Objectives:
Nursing home injuries can be prevented in the facility staff stays vigilant and consistently works to improve the safety of each individual as well as the safety of the physical environment. The CDC suggests that nursing homes adopt a multipronged approach to reduce the number of accidents. This involves:
· Individual assessment of each patient including their li.
1. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) is
designating select U.S. hospitals as “Ebola centers”
to receive these patients; however, every hospital
should be prepared to screen, isolate, and
transfer Ebola patients, while protecting their
staff and other patients. The CDC’s updated
Guidance for U.S. Healthcare Workers on Personal
Protective Equipment (PPE) for Ebola, includes
“Rigorous and Repeated Training” as the top
recommendation, in addition to specific PPE
donning and doffing protocols, patient screening
and triage, and isolation practices.
Additionally, the CDC is encouraging hospitals
to conduct full-scale simulation drills to quickly
identify and correct issues, and ensure that the
protocols are followed accurately and consistently.
MSC is a healthcare performance improvement
organization that provides simulation-based
solutions to solve hospitals’ most costly and
complex problems. MSC’s Ebola Preparedness
Program is a turnkey training solution that allows
hospitals to quickly increase the competence
and confidence of the entire healthcare team in
preparing to receive Ebola patients while keeping
themselves, their colleagues, and other patients safe.
PARTICIPANTS:
This program may be completed by any healthcare team member, but is particularly appropriate for
frontline providers, including those working in EMS, Emergency Department, and Critical Care Units.
