Valley Creek Community Hospital depends on employees, physicians, patients, and volunteers. The database contains common attributes for all groups like name and address. Each group also has unique attributes - employees have a hire date, volunteers have skills, physicians have specialties, and patients have a contact date. Patients can be inpatients, with an admission date, or outpatients with scheduled visits that include a date and comments. Employees are further divided into nurses, staff, and technicians, each with their own attributes.

The following is the description of a hospital information database. As a large service
organization, Valley Creek Community Hospital depends on a large number of persons for its
continued success. There are four groups of people on whom the hospital is most dependent:
Employees, Physicians, Patients, and Volunteers. (Physicians are not classified as Employees for
the purpose of this project). There are several common attributes that are shared by all of these
persons: Person_ID (unique identifier), Name, Birth_date, Phone, and Address. Each address can
be accessed as Street_address, City, State, and Zip_code individually and the entire address can
also be retrieved as a unit. Each of the four groups has at least one specific attribute of its own.
Employees have a Date_hired, Volunteers have a Skill, Physicians have a Specialty and Pager#,
and Patients have a Contact_date. There might be additional personnel in the hospital community
who do not belong to one of these four groups. A particular person may belong to more than one
groups (for example, Patient and Volunteer). Each patient has one and only one physician
responsible for them. A given physician may not be responsible for any patient or may be
responsible for one or more patients. Patients are divided into two groups: inpatient and
outpatient. Each patient classified as an inpatient has a Date_admitted attribute. Each patient
classified as an outpatient is scheduled for one or more visits. Each visit has a Date (partial
identifier) and Comments. Notice that a visit cannot exist without an outpatient entity.
Employees are subdivided into three disjoint groups: Nurses, Staff, and Technicians. Nurses
have a Certificate attribute that indicates the qualification. Staff has an attribute Job_class.
Technicians have one or more Skills. Each technician is assigned to one or more laboratories.
Attributes of laboratories include Name (unique identifier) and Location. A laboratory has one or
more technicians assigned.

Case Study: The Crowded Clinic Authors: Kate Ellis, M.D., Family Physician, Charles River Medical Associates Morana Lasic, M.D., Clinical Instructor in Anesthesia, Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women’s Hospital You are one of the health care practitioners in a community health center that provides primary care to a multi-ethnic, multi-lingual urban community. Many, but not all, of the patients live below the poverty line. Physicians and nurses see a large volume of patients with challenging medical and psychosocial issues. Lately you have realized that the scheduling of patient visits has become something of a nightmare. Because of the high volume of patients, the wait for an appointment for routine care can be anywhere from six to eight months or more. Even acutely ill patients often wait for two to three days to see a health care provider. Out of frustration, many patients are walking in without appointments, often during lunch hour or late in the afternoon when everyone is getting ready to leave. What makes the problem so challenging is that 20 to 40 percent of patients fail to show up for appointments on a given day. Because of this high no-show rate, every other appointment on physicians’ schedules is double-booked with the expectation that, out of the 30 to 35 scheduled patients, only 20 to 25 will actually show up. Occasionally, however, most of the patients do show up – and when a significant number of acutely ill patients also arrive, the work environment becomes unbearably chaotic for everyone. Providers become harried and more likely to make mistakes, patients wait for long periods of time in crowded waiting rooms, and the atmosphere becomes increasingly hostile as the stress level mounts. It is clear that the quality and experience of health care for many of these patients is suffering partly because of a simple lack of access to care. And it is becoming increasingly clear also that the better-insured and English-speaking patients may be getting better access: they are more likely to get a timely appointment because they are more demanding of the system, and they are more likely to keep and show up for their appointments because of better communication. You are interested in finding a way to promote more equitable access to health care. Case Analysis The main problem that everyone is experiencing in this clinic is the high rate of no- shows. It would be very easy to simply label the clinic’s patients “non-compliant.” But is it so? As health care providers, the burden is on us to find the most effective ways to serve our patient population. One possible approach to the problem at hand is to conduct a survey in an attempt to identify some specific reasons that may be contributing to such a high percentage of no-shows. When patients are surveyed about their reasons for not coming to appointments, a few common reasons may emerge: • A sick pa ...

Workflow Redesign After conducting a thorough gap analysis, the next step in the systems development life cycle (SDLC) is to target potential solutions to the gaps. There may be many potential solutions that can help to address workflow issues and inefficiencies, or there may be one seemingly obvious solution that could address almost all of the gaps in the current-state workflow. The challenge lies in selecting the most appropriate course of action from potential solutions that also works within organizational constraints. In this Discussion, you revisit the scenarios from the Week 3 Discussion. You determine the possible avenues for workflow redesign and consider the constraints and factors that might impact your decision. Scenario 1: Stephanie is a nurse practitioner at Central Care Hospital who is often involved in administering prescribed medications for patients in the general care ward. When a physician sees a patient, he or she uses the hospital’s electronic health record (EHR) to document findings and recommendations for treatment but submits medication and drug orders by faxing prescriptions to the hospital’s pharmacy. Before Stephanie administers the medications from the pharmacy, she must cross-check the medication and dosage with the physician’s notes and patient information in the EHR. In doing so, Stephanie often identifies problems with the medication the physician prescribed; patients are sometimes prescribed a medication to which they have a known allergy or one that conflicts with another medication they are currently taking. In addition, the pharmacy sometimes sends the wrong medication or the wrong dosage. Furthermore, for patients who have been transferred from other parts of the hospital, such as the intensive care unit or the maternity ward, Stephanie often encounters duplicate drug orders or incorrect medications sent from the pharmacy. Scenario 2: General Health Hospital is implementing new outreach programs and preventative care support groups for patients with certain conditions or health risks, such as diabetes, smoking, and obesity. Philip, a nurse leader, is the manager of a team of nurses to organize these programs and groups and to identify patients who would be eligible and interested in being involved in these opportunities. However, Philip and his team have run into a variety of challenges and problems as they attempt to complete these tasks. In identifying patients to contact about the outreach programs and support groups, Philip’s team has had to browse the hospital’s entire electronic health record (EHR). The team has also run across significant holes in the EHR as they try to contact patients; many patients’ contact information is inaccurate or out of date. Furthermore, Philip’s team has partnered with the hospital’s Appointments Desk personnel in sending reminders about meeting dates and times to patients who express interest. However, the Appointments Desk often either neglects to send out these.

Overview of Patient Experience Definitions and Measurement Tools

Innovations2Solutions

Patient Preferences and Decision Making Changes in culture and technology have resulted in patient populations that are often well informed and educated, even before consulting or considering a healthcare need delivered by a health professional. Fueled by this, health professionals are increasingly involving patients in treatment decisions. However, this often comes with challenges, as illnesses and treatments can become complex. What has your experience been with patient involvement in treatment or healthcare decisions? In this Discussion, you will share your experiences and consider the impact of patient involvement (or lack of involvement). You will also consider the use of a patient decision aid to inform best practices for patient care and healthcare decision making. To Prepare: · Review the Resources and reflect on a time when you experienced a patient being brought into (or not being brought into) a decision regarding their treatment plan. · Review the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute’s Decision Aids Inventory at https://decisionaid.ohri.ca/. o Choose “For Specific Conditions,” then Browse an alphabetical listing of decision aids by health topic. NOTE: To ensure compliance with HIPAA rules, please DO NOT use the patient’s real name or any information that might identify the patient or organization/practice. Post a brief description of the situation you experienced and explain how incorporating or not incorporating patient preferences and values impacted the outcome of their treatment plan. Be specific and provide examples. Then, explain how including patient preferences and values might impact the trajectory of the situation and how these were reflected in the treatment plan. Finally, explain the value of the patient decision aid you selected and how it might contribute to effective decision making, both in general and in the experience you described. Describe how you might use this decision aid inventory in your professional practice or personal life. Resources Provided Melnyk, B. M., & Fineout-Overholt, E. (2018).

Source: Quality Healthcare through Quality Information: American Health Information Management Association. Retrieved from http://www.ahima.org/ 1. Analyze your findings on secondary data sources and discuss them with your classmates. 2. How do the findings add to and contribute to the information provided in the text? Try not to duplicate articles that your classmates have chosen. Discussion responses should be 300-350 and on topic, original, and contribute to the quality of the discussion by making frequent informed references to lesson material. NO PHARGIARISM! Need 1-2 scholar references. This is the chapter reading: Chapter 8: “Secondary Data Sources” Introduction As a rich source of data about an individual patient, the health record’s primary purpose is in patient care and reimbursement for individual encounters (see chapter 2). However, it is not easy to see trends in a population of patients by looking at individual records. For this purpose, data must be extracted from individual records and entered into databases. These data may be used in a facility-specific or population-based registry for research and improvement in patient care. In addition, the data may be reported to the state and become part of state- and federal-level databases used to set health policy and improve healthcare. With the electronic health record, it is possible for data to be collected once in the EHR and used many times for a variety of purposes as outlined in this chapter. The health information management (HIM) professional can play a variety of roles in managing secondary records and databases. He or she plays a key role in helping to set up databases. This task includes determining the content of the database and ensuring compliance with the laws, regulations, and accreditation standards that affect its content and use. All data elements included in the database or registry must be defined in a data dictionary. The HIM professional may serve as a data steward to oversee the completeness and accuracy of the data abstracted for inclusion in the database or registry. This chapter explains the difference between primary and secondary data and their users. It also offers an in-depth look at the types of secondary databases, including indexes and registries, and their functions. Finally, this chapter discusses how secondary databases are processed and maintained. Theory into Practice A hospital with a level I trauma center serving a tristate area had an ongoing problem. It was required to provide care to all major trauma cases from the three states within its service area regardless of the patients’ ability to pay. However, one of the states (state X) was unwilling to pay for the care provided to its indigent patients. Because trauma care can be extremely intensive and.

Competency Analyze ethical and legal dilemmas that healthcare workers may encounter in the medical field. Instructions You have recently been promoted to Health Services Manager at Three Mountains Regional Hospital, a small hospital located in a mid-size city in the Midwest. Three Mountains is a general medical and surgical facility with 400 beds. Last year there were approximately 62,000 emergency visits and 15,000 admissions. More than 6,000 outpatient and 10,000 inpatient surgeries were performed. An important aspect of the provider/patient relationship pertains to open communication and trust. Patients want to know that their doctors and the support staff associated with their care understand their wishes and will abide by them. Ideally, these conversations happen well before an emergency or procedure takes place; however, often times this information is missing from a patient's file. As part of Three Mountains' initiative to build trust with their patients, an increased emphasis has been placed on obtaining living wills from the patient as part of the intake process to ensure that the healthcare team has written directives of the patient's wishes in case of incapacitation. You will be creating a living will for a patient and provide educational information as to why the patient should fill it out during the admission process before a procedure. Introduction: Explain the definition of a living will and its key components. This section will provide an educational overview of the document for the patient. Living Will Template: Create a living will that can serve as a template to the patients. This should cover the basic treatment issues such as resuscitation, feeding tubes, ventilation, organ and tissue donations, etc. Provide instructions in the template that can be easily altered, depending on each patient's wishes. Summary: In this section, you will discuss the importance of this document and encourage patients to complete it. Address how this document ensures that a patient's wishes are known and followed by the healthcare team. NOTE - APA formatting and proper grammar, punctuation, and form required. APA help is available here. .
