The inclusion of evidence-based practice provides nurses with the scientific research and experience to make a comprehensive decision. The practice enables the nurses to re-evaluate the risks and only adopt the best mechanism to ensure an improved patient outcome. Patients are also able to receive the best available outcomes. It is very advisable to move the nursing practice to be evidence-based to ensure that there is patient-centered care that is safe, inclusive, and effective. However, there have been barriers towards this progress since only 15% of U.S practice is evidence-based. One of the barriers which have led to lagging behind in adopting evidence-based practice is nurse shortage. Evidence-based practice requires massive documentation and research together with increased testing and experience. This requires a large human resource which is not available due to nurse shortage across the united states (Stavor et al., 2017). This has acted as a barrier towards the goal of moving practice to evidence-based. The government should employ more nurses and also dedicate some of the workforces specifically to matters to do with shifting traditional caregiving to EBP.
The second barrier is unsupportive administration. Research indicates that over 70% of nurses know about evidence-based practice, but the barriers to the practice in a clinical setting make it hard for them to adopt it. To move practice to EBP requires active collaboration from all stakeholders and more so from the administration of the healthcare setting. However, most administrations have been termed as unsupportive for the move due to the challenges of resources involved in the move. EPB presents a huge cost in the beginning due to its data requirements. However, it is able to reduce the cost of healthcare by 35% after its implementation. Lack of support from the management makes it hard to move nursing practice to EBP in a clinical setting since it’s a collaborative activity that requires dedicated and goal-oriented leadership (Duncombe, 2018). Policies and regulations should be created which force the push to enable the administration of various healthcare to have no otherwise but to comply in the shift.

See how three Care Logistics hospitals are increasing efficiency in care delivery to improve healthcare quality and nurse morale while reducing costs from overtime, agency use, and turnover. By Care Logistics CFO Samantha Platzke. Importance Of Evidence Based Practice In Nursing
This document discusses the importance of evidence-based practice in nursing. It begins by explaining how evidence-based practices have reverberated across nursing practice, education, and science. The need for improved healthcare calls for evidence-based practices to be incorporated into health systems to increase effectiveness, safety, and efficiency. New practice approaches should be evidence-based to help move healthcare in the desired direction. The document also provides an example of how one facility successfully reduced hospital-acquired pressure ulcers through implementing evidence-based skin assessment and wound care protocols. It concludes by stating the importance of evidence-based practices in tackling issues like hospital-acquired pressure ulcers.

This study examined how characteristics of medical group practices influence rates of inappropriate emergency department visits and avoidable hospital admissions among Medicare patients. The researchers found that practices owned by physicians and those using electronic health records had lower rates of non-emergent ED visits and emergent but primary care treatable visits. Larger practices and those with more non-physician providers per doctor had higher rates of avoidable hospital admissions. The findings suggest that care coordination declines as practices grow in size and complexity.
Implementing Fixed Patient For Nurse Ratios
This document proposes implementing hourly rounding at a hospital to improve patient safety and satisfaction. A task force would be established to use research evidence to propose, implement, and evaluate the change. The Johns Hopkins Nursing Evidence-Based Practice model would be used as a guideline, consisting of three phases - identifying the issue, searching for evidence, and translating evidence into practice. Implementing hourly rounding would help meet patients' needs, reduce call lights and falls, and improve HCAHPS scores.

bedside reporting
This document discusses the benefits of implementing bedside shift reporting compared to reporting at the nurse's station. It identifies increased patient and nurse satisfaction as key outcomes of bedside reporting. Benefits for patients include feeling more involved in their care, safer, and more comfortable. Benefits for nurses include improved accountability, communication, and teamwork. The literature review found evidence that bedside reporting improves satisfaction scores, reduces errors and costs, and improves the nurse-patient relationship. Recommendations are made for hospitals to adopt standardized bedside reporting formats to realize these benefits.

Clinical Decision Making Paper
Clinical decision making is a core nursing responsibility that requires integrating various sources of knowledge. Nurses must consider evidence-based practices, patient values and preferences, clinical expertise, and other factors. There are several models that provide frameworks to structure clinical decision making processes. One influential model is Gillespie and Paterson's situated clinical decision making model, which identifies five categories of foundational knowledge nurses draw on: knowing the profession, self, case, client, and person. This model emphasizes the importance of considering both clinical factors and the unique attributes of individual patients when making decisions.

Nursing is among the fastest-growing occupations in the United States through the nation still faces a significant shortfall of qualified nurses. The shortage may
continue to be highly essential due to the aging population. The U.S. is speculated to go through a shortage of Registered Nurses which is expected to maximize as
baby boomers age and the need for health care maximizes. The Registered Nursing workforce is speculated to grow from 2 million in 2019 to 3 million in 2029, a rise
of 220,000 and 7%. Impact of Nursing Shortages in an Organization In 2014, a study was conducted in American hospitals regarding the nursing shortage. They found
that a rise in nurses; workload by one patient maximized the possibility of dying in 30 days of admission by 7%. The researchers as well found out that each 10% rise
in bachelor’s degree nurses was related to a drop in patient death by 7% (Haddad, Annamaraju, & Toney-Butler, 2020). Insufficient nurse staffing is as well associated
with high patient mortality rates. In facilities with a limited number of nurses, the mortality risk for patients tends to be about 6% more on units that were under-
staffed in comparison to the well-staffed units. When a nurse’s workload is high due to high patient turnover, mortality risk as well tends to rise. Based on a study con-
ducted by the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (2020), there tends to be 4.9 fewer death in 10000 patients on intensive care units that are staffed with a
high percentage of nurses with bachelor’s degrees. Summary of the articles
The article by Mark et al. (2019) aims to deal with the identified causes of the nursing shortage in health care facilities and other nations. According to the findings of
this study, the nursing shortage causes tend to be multifaceted without worldwide or local evaluation of its nature, inefficient planning and use of accessible nursing

The document discusses developing organizational policies and practices to address nursing shortages. It summarizes research finding that nursing shortages negatively impact patient outcomes by increasing mortality rates. Competing needs around insufficient nurses and growing patient populations are discussed. The need for policies to improve staffing ratios, working conditions, pay and benefits to recruit and retain nurses is examined. Existing policies at the author's organization establishing staffing ratios are critiqued for balancing ethics, resources, workers and patients. Recommendations include hiring nurse practitioners and creating formal staffing plans to standardize care.
QUALITY IMPROVEMENT PROJECT.pptx
This document summarizes a quality improvement project aimed at improving the nurse-patient assignment process in a hospital surgical unit. The project was undertaken due to issues with the current manual assignment method, which did not properly consider patient needs or nurse skills. The project utilized the Synergy Model for Patient Care to match patient needs with nurse competencies. Nurses began using a patient scoring tool to rate complexity of care needs. Charge nurses then used these scores to design a staff competency guide to aid in more suitable nurse-patient assignments. The goals were to improve workflow, patient and nurse satisfaction, and patient safety through more optimized matching of patients and nurses.

Whether you are talking about intrapersonal problems or patient care problems, no matter the setting, there will always be something that can be improved. In my facility, I am determined to address the problem that is heavily influencing hospitals: hospital-acquired diseases. This is a serious issue, since a large percentage of patients (over 3%) acquire a hospital-acquired disease at some point during their stay at a given healthcare facility. This can be caused by a variety of reasons, but the most common of which is the absence of proper sterility. By having tools, supplies, and healthcare providers with little or incorrect sterilization techniques, then there is an indeterminate amount of diseases that a patient with a likely already compromised immune system. Furthermore, these hospital-acquired diseases can also affect the healthcare professionals transmitting them, since the providers themselves are the vector for the disease. The project would then consist of a new set of policies that would require more intense analysis of sterilization techniques, including actions before sterilization, during sterilization, and after sterilization (transportation, use, etc.).
By localizing the area, or areas, in which sterilization protocol fails, we will be able to successfully reduce the amount of hospital-acquired diseases an individual patient will experience. Maximum minimization of these diseases is essential to provide a healthcare environment where patient care flourishes, but is also efficient in its usage of funds and time spent by professionals. For example, if a patient receives strep from a medical professional, that patient will require further care; also, the provider will possibly also suffer from the transmitted disease, meaning that person may not be able to practice and therefore put a dent in the hospital’s means. In order to prevent this, implementation of the aforementioned guidelines must take place, since these will allow for a much more strict view of the sterilization techniques. However, a complete rehaul of the methods of sterilization will require time, funds, and strong interprofessional communication to make sure there are no lapses at any point the renewed process. Departmental and funding approving is required, but I believe that this problem is essential enough to solve that it will result in quick approval.

In hospital settings, there exists a plethora of different healthcare that can stem from a large pool of possibilities; for example, anything from hospital-acquired diseases to simple patient comfort are clinical problems that can be addressed either through peer-to-peer collaboration or through patient contact and fulfilling the mastery-prepared nurse responsibility of being the patient’s primary care advocate. Many of the problems in the healthcare field, however, stem from a primary source: a lack of communication. This is the prim.
practice issue that would benefit from utilizing a mixed methods.pdf
This document discusses a proposed mixed methods study to examine challenges in transitional care. The study would involve observing the admission and discharge processes of elderly patients between hospitals, nursing homes, and home care. Both qualitative and quantitative data would be collected through participant observation, open-ended conversations with patients and caregivers, and semi-structured interviews with nursing leaders. The mixed methods approach would allow the qualitative data to provide context and explanations for the quantitative results. The goal is to better understand transitional care challenges and improve quality of care.

TURNITIN ASSIGNMENT (FREE OF PLAGIARISM)
POST # 1: Emily
Coordination of patient care plays an important role in positive health outcomes; however, it is becoming more of a challenge as the United States’ population is aging, diseases and treatments are becoming more complex and technological costs are rising (Seyedamini, et al., 2019, p. 6). This coordination of care is known as clinical integration, which can be defined as “the coordination of patient care across providers, settings and and time to achieve safe, effective, efficient and patient-focused care” (Regis College, n.d). Clinical integration has the potential to lower health care costs, improve efficiency and quality of care (Seyedamini, et al., 2019, p. 7).
However, in order to facilitate efficient clinical integration, providers need proper financing, cultural adaptation and supportive resources (Seyedamini, et al., 2019, p. 7). Challenges that providers and patients face with clinical integration include continuously updating of medical techniques, equipment and computer-based information systems, increased complexity of care making communication between providers more difficult, as well as increased insurance coverage under the Affordable Care Act causing a higher demand for providers (Shi & Singh, 2019, p. 138). According to Haughom (2017), our modern health care system requires “comprehensive care management systems” (para. 8). He states in addition to electronic medical records, providers need a system that contains the five core competencies of care management including, 1) data integration, 2) patient stratification and intake, 3) care coordination, 4) patient engagement, and 5) performance measurement.
Currently, there is a comprehensive smartphone system being developed that has yet to be fully launched known as FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources). This system would allow providers, researchers and patients to store and share medical information all in one place (Rae-Dupree, 2019, para. 3). This system would support clinical integration and simplify the current complex process of sharing data between providers and patients, which in turn could result in greater efficiency in healthcare delivery (Regis College, n.d). However, this system is still working on gaining support from providers and institutions. They are also facing challenges with how to properly protect patient information in the cyber world (Rae-Dupree, 2019, para. 24).
With newly developing technologies to improve clinical integration, such as FHIR, health care professionals must be properly trained and adhere to new systems to achieve the intended outcomes of improved quality of care and reduced costs. New delivery models being used to replac.
Many healthcare financial decisions have a direct effect on nursin.docx
Many healthcare financial decisions have a direct effect on nursing practice and patient care delivery. What are the ethical implications of these financial decisions? Discuss and explain two specific ways to involve nursing staff in financial planning.
Peer 1 Response:
Lauren Van Hemelrijck posted
The ethical implications of financial decisions that have a direct effect on nursing practice consist of the reduction in available money that is spent on staffing in order to ensure there are appropriate ratios at all times as well as cutting costs related to specific equipment and or tools needed to perform our jobs. Specific nurse to patient ratios have been implemented in some places however, it is not currently the norm regardless of numerous studies that have been conducted and shown that the higher the ratio the worse a patient's outcome. Although facilities will save a substantial amount of money when they cut down on staff, which is why they often choose to do so, an immoral and unethical act in and of itself, the end result effects the patients in often times very negative ways. If patients are having poor experiences they are either not likely to return because they are afraid the care that they receive will continue to be less than adequate or they will have to return due to complications that could have been prevented had there been an appropriate nurse to patient ratio when they were being cared for. As a study on this very subject has found "there is already a significant amount of empirical evidence showing the relationship between certain individual and organizational characteristics of hospital nursing and patient outcomes. These characteristics include nurses' level of education, patient-to-ratios, percentage of RNs among all nursing staff (skill mix), and the nurse practice environment" (Simonetti, 2019, p. 79).
Often times, more expensive equipment makes our jobs easier because it is more efficient and or effective. If we begin to "cut corners" in these ways it will undoubtedly have a direct impact on how well we are able to perform our jobs in certain situations. This is unethical because equipment could mean the difference between accuracy and efficiency among other things. This then means that it could then make or break a patient's outcome. If safety is compromised it is completely inappropriate to substitute equipment that might be unsafe thus putting the patient at an increased risk for illness or injury. This is not only incredibly unethical, it will have an all around negative impact on the facility's reputation and financial standing in the long run. Nurses should have a say in how money is spent because they are often times the most knowledgeable about all of the above. One article that looks at lifting equipment or lack there of states that "the results indicate that fewer than 12 percent of the responding nurses told us they have a "No Lift Policy". More than 85 perfect of hospitals have some type of.

Change Proposal: Reimplementation of a Bedside Shift Report
The identified clinical problem that is relevant to nurses in the workplace is the bedside shift report (BSR). The bedside shift report may be used to help the development of teamwork, ownership, and accountability thus increasing the satisfaction of the nurses. The reason for selecting the reimplementation of a bedside shift report is because; at a targeted facility the implementation of the bedside shift report is becoming poor. This has led to the poor compliance with the standards of practice, and increase costs in the facility. Also, to have a reduced cost by removing overtime pay and scrubbing off legal errors which result in legal fees (Clark et al., 2020). (*Re-phrase this sentence, avoid slang).
The reimplementation of a bedside shift report is important for the nurse practicing in the organization. Bedside shift report assists in improving the experience of the client and improving the handoff care between the nurses through including the family and client in the delivery of care. Bedside shift report is leading to the introduction of a change in the nursing culture i.e. introduction of various methods of communicating patient-specific care at a shift transformation. Shift reports given at the bedside is helping in changing the manner in which nurses are communicating and practicing (Clark et al., 2020).
At the targeted facility, the execution of the bedside shift report is poor and this is associated to the lack of knowledge concerning the role of bedside shift reporting on the patient outcome. The healthcare providers at the facility are not directly engaged in the provision of healthcare. There is poor communication of the goals of the bedside shift reporting and their importance about the positive outcomes and benefits that are involved in the change (Clark et al., 2020).
According to the study by Gregory et al., (2014), the process of assessing the transformation in practice that involves transitioning of the bedside nurse shift handoffs is important. The evaluation process is helpful in the re-implementation plan to help in improving the areas of weaknesses. The evaluation process of the success in the implementation in the practice is assessing the perception of the nurses about the proposed changes i.e. the re-implementation plans. There is evidence showing the positive impacts of the bedside shift report in the safety of the patient, the control of the pain, the satisfaction of the patients, and improvement in the nurse to patient or nurse to nurse communication (Gregory et al., 2014).

QSEN Paper
The document discusses the Quality and Safety Education for Nurses (QSEN) project which aims to empower nurses to apply competencies related to quality, safety, informatics, patient-centered care, and evidence-based practice. It provides an overview of several QSEN competencies including patient-centered care, teamwork and collaboration, evidence-based practice, quality improvement, informatics, and safety. The document then describes how these competencies were assessed and applied during a nursing simulation involving different roles such as charge nurse, registered nurse, nursing assistant, and observer. It discusses areas where the competencies guided appropriate nursing interventions and areas for improvement.
NURS 6051 week 1 The Application of Data to.docx
The document discusses using data to improve patient placement and care quality at a hospital. Specifically:
1) The hospital currently struggles with correctly placing patients on the appropriate units due to a lack of notifications to physicians about patient criteria and care needs. This results in patients being misplaced and resources being wasted.
2) Implementing a new system using data like orders and patient criteria could help flag when specialists are needed or if patients should be placed in specific units. This would help ensure patients are directed to the right areas and prevent issues.
3) Collecting data on current placement problems and trials of safety programs could provide information to improve the placement process or identify other solutions. Proper patient flow using this data could
DN 703 Identifying a Target Population Research Paper.docx
The target population is adult patients who return to the emergency department within 72 hours of being discharged. This population often returns due to an inability to understand discharge instructions and access follow-up care. The paper will analyze the cultural, psychosocial, environmental, and demographic factors of this population and propose an intervention involving nurses providing detailed discharge explanations and ensuring effective communication through the use of interpreters if needed. It will also discuss developing a discharge checklist and establishing reliable post-discharge contact to address patient concerns without returning to the emergency department.

St. Mary Elizabeth Hospital is no exception to this growing issue. Nurses make up the majority of medical practitioners and are essential to the industry. There remains a demand for more skilled educators in the perioperative environment and less even workforce distribution. Many serious factors cause the lack of nurses. As the age increases, there is a greater necessity for medical coverage. The authenticity is that, instead of taking just one illness, senior adults typically have illnesses and founders that necessitate professional care. Overall, individuals exist lengthier, a growing ultimatum for well-being care. Many chronic illnesses that were previously fatal are now treatable (Mar et al., 2019). The baby boom generation is still at a stage where they might need more medical attention as society ages. Today, more incredible Americans than ever previously time in history are above the age of 65.
According to Haddad et al. (2022, disclosed Nursing employment is anticipated to increase by 6% during the following ten years, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics Number Of simulations 2021–2031. The number of Nurses working in the profession is expected to rise by 195,400 from 3.1 million in 2021 to 3.3 million in 2031. When nurses retire, they get pension benefits and labor strength leave benefits which are prudently essential in the United States. More than 203,200 positions for Nursing professionals have become vacant in consecutive years. In addition, the nursing staff is shrinking. There are about one million nurse practitioners who are above 50. Thus, it shows that in ten to fifteen years, one in the workforce may be quitting. This figure includes medical faculties, which poses a unique problem since it necessitates training many more nurses with scarce assets. Constraints on admittance and a decline in the nursing practice's number of nurses can generate both results of a nursing faculty shortage.
Fewer students may register, and the curriculum's and the scholar's general superiority of education may worsen due to a condensed and forced facility. Some newly hired nurses find that the profession differs from what they had imagined after starting their jobs. Others might become employed for a while before giving up after getting overworked. The incidence of nurse burnout is tapering off after years of progressively increasing levels. Furthermore, the spectrum of the average income employee turnover, which spans between 8.8% to 37.0%, is determined by nursing discipline and locale (Rosseter, 2014).

A New Era For Nursing: How non-traditional roles are reshaping nursing careers
Nontraditional nursing roles have emerged due to technological growth, healthcare reform, and demand for preventative and community-based care. Areas such as patient safety, quality improvement, health informatics, behavioral health, and care coordination have become important domains for nursing. The roles of occupational health nurses, case managers, HEDIS nurses, quality assurance nurses, and nurse educators are growing due to a focus on wellness, chronic disease management, and reducing healthcare costs. These nontraditional nursing roles offer salaries comparable to registered nurses and are projected to be in high demand over the next decade, especially in large cities such as Houston, Chicago, and Los Angeles.

Clinical Decision Making Paper
Clinical decision making is a core nursing responsibility that requires integrating various sources of knowledge. Nurses must consider evidence-based practices, patient values and preferences, clinical expertise, and other factors. There are several models that provide frameworks to structure clinical decision making processes. One influential model is Gillespie and Paterson's situated clinical decision making model, which identifies five categories of foundational knowledge nurses draw on: knowing the profession, self, case, client, and person. This model emphasizes the importance of considering both clinical factors and the unique attributes of individual patients when making decisions.

Nursing is among the fastest-growing occupations in the United States through the nation still faces a significant shortfall of qualified nurses. The shortage may
continue to be highly essential due to the aging population. The U.S. is speculated to go through a shortage of Registered Nurses which is expected to maximize as
baby boomers age and the need for health care maximizes. The Registered Nursing workforce is speculated to grow from 2 million in 2019 to 3 million in 2029, a rise
of 220,000 and 7%. Impact of Nursing Shortages in an Organization In 2014, a study was conducted in American hospitals regarding the nursing shortage. They found
that a rise in nurses; workload by one patient maximized the possibility of dying in 30 days of admission by 7%. The researchers as well found out that each 10% rise
in bachelor’s degree nurses was related to a drop in patient death by 7% (Haddad, Annamaraju, & Toney-Butler, 2020). Insufficient nurse staffing is as well associated
with high patient mortality rates. In facilities with a limited number of nurses, the mortality risk for patients tends to be about 6% more on units that were under-
staffed in comparison to the well-staffed units. When a nurse’s workload is high due to high patient turnover, mortality risk as well tends to rise. Based on a study con-
ducted by the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (2020), there tends to be 4.9 fewer death in 10000 patients on intensive care units that are staffed with a
high percentage of nurses with bachelor’s degrees. Summary of the articles
The article by Mark et al. (2019) aims to deal with the identified causes of the nursing shortage in health care facilities and other nations. According to the findings of
this study, the nursing shortage causes tend to be multifaceted without worldwide or local evaluation of its nature, inefficient planning and use of accessible nursing

The document discusses developing organizational policies and practices to address nursing shortages. It summarizes research finding that nursing shortages negatively impact patient outcomes by increasing mortality rates. Competing needs around insufficient nurses and growing patient populations are discussed. The need for policies to improve staffing ratios, working conditions, pay and benefits to recruit and retain nurses is examined. Existing policies at the author's organization establishing staffing ratios are critiqued for balancing ethics, resources, workers and patients. Recommendations include hiring nurse practitioners and creating formal staffing plans to standardize care.
QUALITY IMPROVEMENT PROJECT.pptx
This document summarizes a quality improvement project aimed at improving the nurse-patient assignment process in a hospital surgical unit. The project was undertaken due to issues with the current manual assignment method, which did not properly consider patient needs or nurse skills. The project utilized the Synergy Model for Patient Care to match patient needs with nurse competencies. Nurses began using a patient scoring tool to rate complexity of care needs. Charge nurses then used these scores to design a staff competency guide to aid in more suitable nurse-patient assignments. The goals were to improve workflow, patient and nurse satisfaction, and patient safety through more optimized matching of patients and nurses.

Whether you are talking about intrapersonal problems or patient care problems, no matter the setting, there will always be something that can be improved. In my facility, I am determined to address the problem that is heavily influencing hospitals: hospital-acquired diseases. This is a serious issue, since a large percentage of patients (over 3%) acquire a hospital-acquired disease at some point during their stay at a given healthcare facility. This can be caused by a variety of reasons, but the most common of which is the absence of proper sterility. By having tools, supplies, and healthcare providers with little or incorrect sterilization techniques, then there is an indeterminate amount of diseases that a patient with a likely already compromised immune system. Furthermore, these hospital-acquired diseases can also affect the healthcare professionals transmitting them, since the providers themselves are the vector for the disease. The project would then consist of a new set of policies that would require more intense analysis of sterilization techniques, including actions before sterilization, during sterilization, and after sterilization (transportation, use, etc.).
By localizing the area, or areas, in which sterilization protocol fails, we will be able to successfully reduce the amount of hospital-acquired diseases an individual patient will experience. Maximum minimization of these diseases is essential to provide a healthcare environment where patient care flourishes, but is also efficient in its usage of funds and time spent by professionals. For example, if a patient receives strep from a medical professional, that patient will require further care; also, the provider will possibly also suffer from the transmitted disease, meaning that person may not be able to practice and therefore put a dent in the hospital’s means. In order to prevent this, implementation of the aforementioned guidelines must take place, since these will allow for a much more strict view of the sterilization techniques. However, a complete rehaul of the methods of sterilization will require time, funds, and strong interprofessional communication to make sure there are no lapses at any point the renewed process. Departmental and funding approving is required, but I believe that this problem is essential enough to solve that it will result in quick approval.

In hospital settings, there exists a plethora of different healthcare that can stem from a large pool of possibilities; for example, anything from hospital-acquired diseases to simple patient comfort are clinical problems that can be addressed either through peer-to-peer collaboration or through patient contact and fulfilling the mastery-prepared nurse responsibility of being the patient’s primary care advocate. Many of the problems in the healthcare field, however, stem from a primary source: a lack of communication. This is the prim.

TURNITIN ASSIGNMENT (FREE OF PLAGIARISM)
POST # 1: Emily
Coordination of patient care plays an important role in positive health outcomes; however, it is becoming more of a challenge as the United States’ population is aging, diseases and treatments are becoming more complex and technological costs are rising (Seyedamini, et al., 2019, p. 6). This coordination of care is known as clinical integration, which can be defined as “the coordination of patient care across providers, settings and and time to achieve safe, effective, efficient and patient-focused care” (Regis College, n.d). Clinical integration has the potential to lower health care costs, improve efficiency and quality of care (Seyedamini, et al., 2019, p. 7).
However, in order to facilitate efficient clinical integration, providers need proper financing, cultural adaptation and supportive resources (Seyedamini, et al., 2019, p. 7). Challenges that providers and patients face with clinical integration include continuously updating of medical techniques, equipment and computer-based information systems, increased complexity of care making communication between providers more difficult, as well as increased insurance coverage under the Affordable Care Act causing a higher demand for providers (Shi & Singh, 2019, p. 138). According to Haughom (2017), our modern health care system requires “comprehensive care management systems” (para. 8). He states in addition to electronic medical records, providers need a system that contains the five core competencies of care management including, 1) data integration, 2) patient stratification and intake, 3) care coordination, 4) patient engagement, and 5) performance measurement.
Currently, there is a comprehensive smartphone system being developed that has yet to be fully launched known as FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources). This system would allow providers, researchers and patients to store and share medical information all in one place (Rae-Dupree, 2019, para. 3). This system would support clinical integration and simplify the current complex process of sharing data between providers and patients, which in turn could result in greater efficiency in healthcare delivery (Regis College, n.d). However, this system is still working on gaining support from providers and institutions. They are also facing challenges with how to properly protect patient information in the cyber world (Rae-Dupree, 2019, para. 24).
With newly developing technologies to improve clinical integration, such as FHIR, health care professionals must be properly trained and adhere to new systems to achieve the intended outcomes of improved quality of care and reduced costs. New delivery models being used to replac.
Many healthcare financial decisions have a direct effect on nursin.docx
Many healthcare financial decisions have a direct effect on nursing practice and patient care delivery. What are the ethical implications of these financial decisions? Discuss and explain two specific ways to involve nursing staff in financial planning.
Peer 1 Response:
Lauren Van Hemelrijck posted
The ethical implications of financial decisions that have a direct effect on nursing practice consist of the reduction in available money that is spent on staffing in order to ensure there are appropriate ratios at all times as well as cutting costs related to specific equipment and or tools needed to perform our jobs. Specific nurse to patient ratios have been implemented in some places however, it is not currently the norm regardless of numerous studies that have been conducted and shown that the higher the ratio the worse a patient's outcome. Although facilities will save a substantial amount of money when they cut down on staff, which is why they often choose to do so, an immoral and unethical act in and of itself, the end result effects the patients in often times very negative ways. If patients are having poor experiences they are either not likely to return because they are afraid the care that they receive will continue to be less than adequate or they will have to return due to complications that could have been prevented had there been an appropriate nurse to patient ratio when they were being cared for. As a study on this very subject has found "there is already a significant amount of empirical evidence showing the relationship between certain individual and organizational characteristics of hospital nursing and patient outcomes. These characteristics include nurses' level of education, patient-to-ratios, percentage of RNs among all nursing staff (skill mix), and the nurse practice environment" (Simonetti, 2019, p. 79).
Often times, more expensive equipment makes our jobs easier because it is more efficient and or effective. If we begin to "cut corners" in these ways it will undoubtedly have a direct impact on how well we are able to perform our jobs in certain situations. This is unethical because equipment could mean the difference between accuracy and efficiency among other things. This then means that it could then make or break a patient's outcome. If safety is compromised it is completely inappropriate to substitute equipment that might be unsafe thus putting the patient at an increased risk for illness or injury. This is not only incredibly unethical, it will have an all around negative impact on the facility's reputation and financial standing in the long run. Nurses should have a say in how money is spent because they are often times the most knowledgeable about all of the above. One article that looks at lifting equipment or lack there of states that "the results indicate that fewer than 12 percent of the responding nurses told us they have a "No Lift Policy". More than 85 perfect of hospitals have some type of.

Change Proposal: Reimplementation of a Bedside Shift Report
The identified clinical problem that is relevant to nurses in the workplace is the bedside shift report (BSR). The bedside shift report may be used to help the development of teamwork, ownership, and accountability thus increasing the satisfaction of the nurses. The reason for selecting the reimplementation of a bedside shift report is because; at a targeted facility the implementation of the bedside shift report is becoming poor. This has led to the poor compliance with the standards of practice, and increase costs in the facility. Also, to have a reduced cost by removing overtime pay and scrubbing off legal errors which result in legal fees (Clark et al., 2020). (*Re-phrase this sentence, avoid slang).
The reimplementation of a bedside shift report is important for the nurse practicing in the organization. Bedside shift report assists in improving the experience of the client and improving the handoff care between the nurses through including the family and client in the delivery of care. Bedside shift report is leading to the introduction of a change in the nursing culture i.e. introduction of various methods of communicating patient-specific care at a shift transformation. Shift reports given at the bedside is helping in changing the manner in which nurses are communicating and practicing (Clark et al., 2020).
At the targeted facility, the execution of the bedside shift report is poor and this is associated to the lack of knowledge concerning the role of bedside shift reporting on the patient outcome. The healthcare providers at the facility are not directly engaged in the provision of healthcare. There is poor communication of the goals of the bedside shift reporting and their importance about the positive outcomes and benefits that are involved in the change (Clark et al., 2020).
According to the study by Gregory et al., (2014), the process of assessing the transformation in practice that involves transitioning of the bedside nurse shift handoffs is important. The evaluation process is helpful in the re-implementation plan to help in improving the areas of weaknesses. The evaluation process of the success in the implementation in the practice is assessing the perception of the nurses about the proposed changes i.e. the re-implementation plans. There is evidence showing the positive impacts of the bedside shift report in the safety of the patient, the control of the pain, the satisfaction of the patients, and improvement in the nurse to patient or nurse to nurse communication (Gregory et al., 2014).

The roles of occupational health nurses, case managers, HEDIS nurses, quality assurance nurses, and nurse educators are growing due to a focus on wellness, chronic disease management, and reducing healthcare costs. These nontraditional nursing roles offer salaries comparable to registered nurses and are projected to be in high demand over the next decade, especially in large cities such as Houston, Chicago, and Los Angeles.

These differing approaches combined can build a deeper understanding of the issue.

3. Explanations for the high U.S. college dropout rate would differ depending on a micro, meso, or macro analysis. A study might focus on the micro level of individual experiences

NURS 4220 Nursing Home Residents with Alzheimer Disease.docx
- 1. NURS 4220 Nursing Home Residents with Alzheimer Disease NURS 4220 Nursing Home Residents with Alzheimer DiseaseNURS 4220 Nursing Home Residents with Alzheimer DiseaseScenario one in this week’s discussion topic is centered around sending many nursing home residents with Alzheimer’s disease, predominantly with Medicare and Medicaid, to the ED and may not need to be seen. With this scenario, both leadership styles can be incorporated. However, the transformational leadership style will be discussed. All team members will need to be involved, and I would share the concerns and review the issues with the nurse manager. The process would begin with an analysis of nurse to patient ratios, as many ED visits can be prevented with better nurse staffing level at the nursing home. Inadequate staffing can lead to limited time to provide proper medical interventions. Therefore, the ED is used to provide medical coverage that is lacking at the nursing home.A staff survey would allow feedback as to why too many patients are being sent to the emergency department, and at the same time, this will encourage staff to present their ideas and give them a sense of empowerment (Yoder-Wise, 2015). Another plan of action would be to petition the ED and encourage an ED utilization review to reduce the unnecessary visits to the ED and learn why the hospital is inquiring about the misuse of the ED visits in question and validate or rescind the problem in question according to data (Spath, 2018).A more precise understanding of the driving factor associated with inappropriate transferring of nursing home residents to the ED may result in better nursing home practice recommendations and allow for the implementation of quality improvement interventions (Perrin et al., 2017). Once the data from the Ed and staff surveys are validated, a protocol/ map of when a patient would need to be transferred would be implemented. Educating staff on all levels would help to identify the protocol for transferring patients to the ED. Nursing staff would first need to evaluate the patient, having responsibility, and ownership. Guidelines would help the nursing staff complete a conclusive assessment of the medical complaint presented. Determining what an emergent is and what medical complaint can be achieved at the nursing home is vital. The nursing home is part of a more extensive system that includes a major medical network that can be utilized as a part of an integrated network. The nursing staff would need to collaborate with other medical providers and determine the needs of the patient. The collaboration within a provider network would decrease the misuse of the ED visits in the nursing home facility.ReferencesPerrin, A., Tavassoli, N., Mathieu, C., Hermabessière, S., Houles, M., McCambridge, C., … & Lauque, D. (2017). Factors predisposing nursing home resident to inappropriate transfer to emergency department. The FINE study protocol. Contemporary
