POWERPOINT LECTURE Overview of Risk Management, Root Cause Analysis.pptx
The document discusses risk management and quality improvement programs at Dr. Albar Maternity and Children Hospital. It outlines plans to develop educational workshops on topics like root cause analysis, risk assessment codes, and leadership safety rounds. The goal is to enable staff at all levels to focus on systems and processes, rather than individuals, to prevent adverse events and improve patient outcomes. Key areas covered include identifying risks, prioritizing risks, analyzing root causes of issues, and selecting key performance indicators to establish targets and evaluate success.
Screening for Diseases
The document discusses key concepts related to screening in preventive medicine. It defines screening as tests or examinations applied to apparently healthy individuals to detect disease in early stages. The biggest challenges are distinguishing individuals with and without disease given many diseases exist on a spectrum. An ideal screening test is inexpensive, easy to use, acceptable, valid, reliable and has high yield. The criteria for screening include the disease being an important health problem with a long preclinical stage and treatability. Screening programs must be continually evaluated to ensure benefits outweigh costs.
98% of Patients Cannot Recall Their Surgical Risks
The vast majority of patients do not know the risks associated with their health conditions. In order to fix this, we need to bulk up on patient education- but in non-traditional ways. Catch the patient when they are ready to learn and we have a chance to succeed. Halo Health can help you do this.

Enjoy your journey through this slide deck of Geriatric Population. Geriatric Clinician Practice. Your Medicare, Long-Term Care Documentation.
Imagine if writing a progress note was really as simple as the note featured on the title slide. This physician progress note style filled the charts of a 120 bed nursing facility in rural Texas. Walking down the facility hallways I observed many unstable conditions and behaviors. Staff were numb to the yelling. When I questioned about the yelling "we don't medicate behaviors" was the most popular response. I needed to be medicated after a few hours of being there. Collecting data had never been this difficult. Stable and clinical documentation now had a whole new meaning.
This month I am instructing Nurse Practitioner students on Medicare and Long-Term Care Coding and Documentation. Revising this lecture reminds me of all of the clinician types I have met during my long-term care travels.
1. Amazing Clinicians
◾ They know state and federal regulations and practice perfectly.
◾ They don't cross your path very often.
◾ When you meet them you must stop, listen and absorb all their knowledge.
2. So-So Clinicians
◾ They don't know that there are regulations on state and federal levels.
◾ They are pretty common and are doing enough with meaningful practices.
◾ When you meet them you must stop, talk and they absorb your knowledge.
3. Corner Cutters
◾ They are not doing enough and practice out of compliance.
◾ Their colleagues are also clueless, there is guilt by association.
◾ When you meet them, run in the opposite direction.
What types of geriatric clinicians are crossing your path? The documentation is very telling as to the practice type. Are they awesome, so-so, or of the corner cutter breed?

Human Skin Disease Atopic Dermatitis by Slidesgo.pptx
This document discusses different types of eczema and dermatitis. It defines eczema and dermatitis as interchangeable terms denoting an inflammatory reaction affecting the epidermis and dermis. Acute cases are characterized by itching, redness and vesicle formation, while chronic cases involve itching, dryness, lichenification, hyperkeratosis/scaling and fissures. Contact dermatitis is caused by irritating substances that come into contact with the skin. Chronic contact dermatitis develops slowly due to repetitive exposure to mild irritants like water and soap, usually on the hands. Allergic contact dermatitis causes an inflammatory reaction mediated by antigen-specific T cells. Atopic dermat

Learning outcome 1The chronicity of COPD allows for self manage.docx
Learning outcome 1
The chronicity of COPD allows for self management by sufferers. (Spencer & Barcomb 2014). The self management goal is reduced hospital admissions and improved life quality (Bedra et al 2013). Sufferers should have access to a wide range of skills available from the multidisciplinary team. Those include exacerbation limitation, respiratory failure, chronic productive cough and anxiety and depression.
Symptom Recognition.
Patients discharged from hospital are susceptible to readmission (Bedra et al 2013). Understanding the condition and knowing when they are having an exacerbation is imperative for self management, and what to do in the given circumstances, and when and what medication to take, or realise they need hospital treatment.
Treatment.
The main form of treatments comes from inhaled therapies and explained below would be when they would be administered and their understandings are a major factor in self management.
For breathlessness and exercise limitations: A short acting Beta2 agonist (as required) or short acting muscarinic antagonist (as required).
For exacerbations or persistent breathlessness: A long acting beta2 agonist, long acting muscarinic antagonist, to – long acting beta2 agonist + inhaled corticosteroid (Combination Inhaler) OR a long acting muscarinic antagonist (must discontinue short acting antagonist once this is commenced).
(Remember if using Corticosteroids, this has no evidence of long terms benefits).
If experiencing persistent exacerbations or breathlessness. Long acting Muscarinic antagonist + long acting beta2 agonist and inhaled corticosteroid (combined inhaler).
Niesters et al, (2012) describe how oxygen therapy can also be used, but awareness of inappropriate oxygen therapy with COPD patients is imperative as this can cause respiratory depression.
Self Monitoring.
The British Thoracic Society (BTS) have identified five high impact actions that can improve outcomes for people being discharged after an acute exacerbation of COPD. The form is a quick way of identifying patients need for those interventions, ensuring their needs are met. The aim is for lessened hospital readmission rates with self monitoring patients. The five actions are;
Review of medication and demonstration of inhalers they will be using.
Provide a written Self Management plan and Emergency drug pack.
Asses and offer referral for smoking sensation.
Assess for suitability for pulmonary rehab.
Arrange a follow up call within 72 hours of discharge.
Educational Interventions.
Reardon et al, (2005) explain pulmonary rehabilitation as programs which work with patients to help manage their condition, muscle strength, ability to cope with their disease, help with social requirements as people can become quite isolated.
Test includes incremental shuttle walk a 10 metre course, consecutive runs, each time getting faster, measured how far they got, will give idea of what they can endure on the exercise programme th ...

MFUp
This document discusses the benefits of Medical Follow-Up, a program that provides sound medical advice and periodic follow-ups from world-leading specialists, no matter their location. It allows patients to ensure their diagnosis and treatment are in line with the most recent medical advancements. The program offers top-level second medical opinions and follow-ups to increase access to specialists, improve outcomes, and reduce costs for insurance companies and employers providing healthcare. Real-life cases demonstrate how second opinions identified more effective treatments no longer considered standard. Timely input from experts can significantly improve recovery times and long-term outcomes.

[Workshop] The science of screening in Psycho-oncology (Oct10)
This is workshop 1 from the IX Congresso Portugues de Psico-Oncologia in Porto (Oporto) Portugal 22-oct-2010.
Telehealth for Integumentary Health
The document discusses the use of telehealth for integumentary health, specifically wound care. Telehealth allows specialists to provide care to rural areas and consult on wound cases remotely. It can decrease travel costs and time for patients and facilities. The summary provides an overview of telehealth applications like real-time video consults and store-and-forward photo documentation that allow specialists to monitor wound status and provide recommendations to improve wound management. Studies found telehealth wound consultations to be accurate and effective with few changes needed upon in-person examination.
Patient Safety Presentation
Patient safety is the absence of preventable harm to a patient during the process of health care and reduction of risk of unnecessary harm associated with health.
