In a job that changes every minute, care managers don’t have much time to think as they tackle unpredictable situations. Care managers stay on track amid the distractions by following six key elements of successful care management:
Act as an advocate for the patient.
Practice cultural competence.
Garner support from leaders.
Develop effective communication skills.
Prioritize patients based on up-to-date data.
Don’t ever forget that the patient is a human being first.
As care managers practice these six crucial components for successful care management, the patient’s health and well-being will always be the top priority for everyone involved, which translates to better outcomes and lower costs.

Becoming the Change Agent Your Healthcare System NeedsHealth Catalyst
I’ve met many clinical and operational leaders across the U.S. and seen how many have become progressively cynical and disengaged when faced with important healthcare reform issues like cost cutting and tight budgets. These clinicians would agree that equally important are quality and safety issues. However, most don’t have the tools available to actually measure that quality or patient outcomes. When clinicians do have access to the ability to measure, and the work together, I’ve seen enormous energy arise as they ask questions they really care about: What is quality? What do we measure? How do we achieve the best outcome?

Health Services In Relation to Environmental Analysis
Dr. Mountasser Kadrie
July 27, 2014
As a manager in Ford Rehabilitation centre, I have encountered several challenges in both external environment and internal environment that have greatly challenged the increasing demands of my patients’ services as well as failure of the reimbursements of funds by the insurance providers. Environmental conditions normally affect human health in varied means. Interactions between the environment and human health usually lead to very complex ethical queries that are related to health policy decisions. There are various factors in the environment that can lead to risks and the same time benefits. They include genetically modified plants, nanotechnology, bio fuels and other technology. There is a body of evidence that have emerged saying that environment can affect the health of human being and at the same time human health can have impact to the environment.
The external factors are factors in the environment that cannot be controlled by an organization. There are several external factors that affect many health organizations; these factors include political conditions, government policies and regulations, technological environment and social environment. In my organization the two key external factors affecting my company are the social environment and technological environment. Social factors have developed challenge in the Ford rehabilitation centre. This is because many patient customers have varied and different types of beliefs which make the relations in the health centre challenged. It have become problematic to deal with some patients since it is difficult to know the type of services they need based on where they have come from. Various patients have diverse transformation in attitude towards health care. The patients are however very demanding in my organization because each one of them needs to be handled differently based on community variations. In order to curb this, as manager I have decided to implement several programs that will promote cooperation between my patients as well amendments that will bring in suitable services to each patient. Implementation of this programs will enable my organization to continue being indispensible and financially stable despite the social challenges affecting the availability of patients in the organization.
Another external factor in the environment that will have a great impact in my company is technological environment. Implementation of more advanced methods to serve my customers is likely to improve patients’ attendance and this will boost the compan.
Employee Wellness: A Combination of Personal Accountability and Corporate Res...Health Catalyst
A strong employee wellness program is the first step to encouraging better health and creating meaningful, positive change in the lives of employees and their families. A well-designed healthcare insurance plan, a comprehensive wellness program, and creating a culture of personal accountability for wellness can optimize healthcare spending and improve employee health. It can also bolster the understanding and shared accountability for healthcare costs between the employees and the company.
IN THIS SUMMARY
Many healthcare organizations struggle to communicate effectively with physicians and engage them, particularly when dealing with change implementation. In Inside the Physician Mind, Joseph S. Bujak provides an insider's perspective on how physicians think, outlining beliefs and behaviors specific to physicians and identifying barriers that inhibit productive relationships. Armed with this information, healthcare organizations can improve communication and help physicians and organizational staff members establish the trust necessary for effective change initiatives to take place.

Empirical research estimates that medical errors cost an estimated 19.5 billion dollars in healthcare costs and nearly 400,000 patients die annually due to these errors. 1As a result, the federal government has adopted a new regulation that creates incentives for hospitals and their sta to improve the quality of patient care. 2This new regulation ties patient care to Medicare reimbursements. In other words, how well a hospital provides patient care determines whether that hospital incurs a penalty or a bonus in the form of a percent reduction or increase of Medicare reimbursement rates.
Why Precise, Tailored Patient Registries Lead to Cost-Effective Care Manageme...Health Catalyst
Early this year, CMS began a per member per month reimbursement for Medicare beneficiaries with two or more chronic conditions. It immediately validated the need for care management programs. Three models are used to measure the savings of an effective care management program:
Historical or intent-to-treat design
Matching comparison design
Randomized control design
All three place a heavy reliance on data and precise, tailored patient registries. Reliable patient registries are one of the most valuable tools in the care management toolbox. And the means to that reliability is an enterprise data warehouse, which essentially gives program managers an all-access pass to stratifying patient risk and leads to a more successful population health initiative.

Consumer Centric Approach in Healthcare by Dr.Mahboob ali khan Phd Healthcare consultant
While the benefits of customer-centricity are clear, many organizations are not currently set up to accommodate the involvement of consumers in their own healthcare decisions. This means that healthcare administrators need to assess their own organizational capacity and determine how best to support patient-centered efforts moving forward.
Five years in, and the Affordable Care Act continues to command conversation in the benefits landscape. Industry players are still scrambling to implement new provisions, keep healthcare costs down, create infrastructure to support new reporting requirements, and develop new payer, provider and care delivery models.
This has, in turn pushed the respective hands of health plans, who have had to change their strategies to fit both the consumerization of insurance and the standards set forth under the ACA.
With end-users in the forefront, health plans must take the strategy implemented 15 years ago with the rise of the internet, and push the marketing and communication initiatives into overdrive to gain and retain customers.
Health plans are shifting their mentality and communication, ant the best of the best are putting time, money, and energy into literacy and new business initiatives.
To simplify, a health plan needs to put the consumer at the center of every decision it makes.
However, in order to plan, communicate, and effectively market to consumers, your health plan must know the consumer, the technology, and the future.
If you’re looking to grow your health plan, we have just released a new guide to help your health plan leverage trends in the post-reform consumer marketplace.
In our latest whitepaper, we share the keys to success for health plans, including the following:
Consumer Trends: Top 5 Healthcare Executive Consumer Strategy Points, Today’s Healthcare Consumers: Six Types of Consumers You Need to Know, Millennial Consumers Special Report

Socialization
To begin the process of socialization, having a clear understanding of the definition of nursing is essential. We know what nurses do, but how do we define nursing? Why is defining nursing important? To answer this last question, defining nursing is important for several reasons:To differentiate nursing from other professions.To define our practiceTo provide guidelines for nursing educationTo make nursing visible to the public and policy makers
While there may be multiple definitions of nursing from professional organization and state boards of nursing, similar characteristics can be found in all of them.
The American Nurses Association offers the following definition:
Nursing is the protection, promotion, and optimization of health and abilities, prevention of illness and injury, facilitation of healing, alleviation of suffering through the diagnosis and treatment of human response, and advocacy in the care of individuals, families, groups, communities, and populations.
Knowing what nursing is, supports your move into the nursing role. Socialization is the process of internalizing knowledge, skills, attitudes and other concepts needed to function in a role. You have been socialized into your current role. However, after graduating with your BSN, there will be another socialization process as you take on the broader role of the nurse with a BSN. Another way of describing the socialization process is Patricia Benner’s (1984) novice to expert stages. Some of you may be familiar with Benner’s work through your facilities clinical ladder. Socialization of the professional nurse involves developing your knowledge and skills and interacting with other nurses who act as mentors. Throughout the education process, students encounter a variety of socializing agents, including faculty, classmates, colleagues and other healthcare professionals, patients, and family, who subsequently contribute to the formation of a professional self-identify (Lai & Lim, 2012, p. 32).
Instructions
You are a licensed practice nurse (LPN) collaborating with a registered nurse (RN) for hospital-wide in-service on healthcare associated infections (HAI). After the in-service, a representative from each hospital department will receive an infographic to post in their respective unit. Your job is to create an infographic on preventing HAIs. The infographic should:
· Be a one-page visual representation of about Healthcare Associated Infections (HAIS)
· Identify common types of HAIs (healthcare associated infections)
· Include data or statistics about HAIs
· Describe prevention strategies for HAIs
Nursing Ethics
The Code of Ethics for Nurses of 2015, given by American Nurses Association (ANA), outlines the ethical basis for the nursing profession. It contains nine provisions, which cover the nurses' responsibilities toward the patients, maintenance of their personal professional growth, and their responsibilities to the profession and community.

How Managing Chronic Conditions Is Streamlined with Digital TechnologyHealth Catalyst
Chronic conditions across the United States are prevalent and continue to rise. Managing one or more chronic diseases can be very challenging for patients who may be overwhelmed or confused about their care plan and may not have access to the resources they need. At the same time, care teams are overburdened, making it difficult to provide the support these patients require to stay as healthy as possible. A new approach to chronic condition management leverages technology to enable organizations to scale high-quality care, identify gaps in care, provide personalized support, and monitor patients on an ongoing basis. Such streamlined management will result in better outcomes, reduced costs, and more satisfied patients.

Defecation
Normal defecation begins with movement in the left colon, moving stool toward the anus. When stool reaches the rectum, the distention causes relaxation of the internal sphincter and an awareness of the need to defecate. At the time of defecation, the external sphincter relaxes, and abdominal muscles contract, increasing intrarectal pressure and forcing the stool out
The Valsalva maneuver exerts pressure to expel faeces through a voluntary contraction of the abdominal muscles while maintaining forced expiration against a closed airway. Patients with cardiovascular disease, glaucoma, increased intracranial pressure, or a new surgical wound are at greater risk for cardiac dysrhythmias and elevated blood pressure with the Valsalva maneuver and need to avoid straining to pass the stool.
Normal defecation is painless, resulting in passage of soft, formed stool
CONSTIPATION
Constipation is a symptom, not a disease. Improper diet, reduced fluid intake, lack of exercise, and certain medications can cause constipation. For example, patients receiving opiates for pain after surgery often require a stool softener or laxative to prevent constipation. The signs of constipation include infrequent bowel movements (less than every 3 days), difficulty passing stools, excessive straining, inability to defecate at will, and hard feaces
IMPACTION
Fecal impaction results from unrelieved constipation. It is a collection of hardened feces wedged in the rectum that a person cannot expel. In cases of severe impaction the mass extends up into the sigmoid colon.
DIARRHEA
Diarrhea is an increase in the number of stools and the passage of liquid, unformed feces. It is associated with disorders affecting digestion, absorption, and secretion in the GI tract. Intestinal contents pass through the small and large intestine too quickly to allow for the usual absorption of fluid and nutrients. Irritation within the colon results in increased mucus secretion. As a result, feces become watery, and the patient is unable to control the urge to defecate. Normally an anal bag is safe and effective in long-term treatment of patients with fecal incontinence at home, in hospice, or in the hospital. Fecal incontinence is expensive and a potentially dangerous condition in terms of contamination and risk of skin ulceration
HEMORRHOIDS
Hemorrhoids are dilated, engorged veins in the lining of the rectum. They are either external or internal.
FLATULENCE
As gas accumulates in the lumen of the intestines, the bowel wall stretches and distends (flatulence). It is a common cause of abdominal fullness, pain, and cramping. Normally intestinal gas escapes through the mouth (belching) or the anus (passing of flatus)
FECAL INCONTINENCE
Fecal incontinence is the inability to control passage of feces and gas from the anus. Incontinence harms a patient’s body image

Medical Technology Tackles New Health Care Demand - Research Report - March 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) predicts that with, against, despite, and even without the global pandemic, the medical technology (MedTech) industry shows signs of continuous healthy growth, driven by smaller, faster, and cheaper devices, growing demand for home-based applications, technological innovation, strategic acquisitions, investments, and SPAC listings. MCG predicts that this should reflects itself in annual growth of over 6%, well beyond 2028.
According to Chris Mouchabhani, Managing Partner at M Capital Group, “Despite all economic scenarios that one may consider, beyond overall economic shocks, medical technology should remain one of the most promising and robust sectors over the short to medium term and well beyond 2028.”
There is a movement towards home-based care for the elderly, next generation scanning and MRI devices, wearable technology, artificial intelligence incorporation, and online connectivity. Experts also see a focus on predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and precision medicine, with rising levels of integration of home care and technological innovation.
The average cost of treatment has been rising across the board, creating additional financial burdens to governments, healthcare providers and insurance companies. According to MCG, cost-per-inpatient-stay in the United States alone rose on average annually by over 13% between 2014 to 2021, leading MedTech to focus research efforts on optimized medical equipment at lower price points, whilst emphasizing portability and ease of use. Namely, 46% of the 1,008 medical technology companies in the 2021 MedTech Innovator (“MTI”) database are focusing on prevention, wellness, detection, or diagnosis, signaling a clear push for preventive care to also tackle costs.
In addition, there has also been a lasting impact on consumer and medical demand for home care, supported by the pandemic. Lockdowns, closure of care facilities, and healthcare systems subjected to capacity pressure, accelerated demand away from traditional inpatient care. Now, outpatient care solutions are driving industry production, with nearly 70% of recent diagnostics start-up companies producing products in areas such as ambulatory clinics, at-home care, and self-administered diagnostics.
