The Importance of interoperability within healthcare delivery

Reflect on the importance of interoperability within healthcare delivery and the role that informatics technical standards play in the process. Now consider the role that an informatics nurse specialist plays in the development and adoption of, usability, and adoption of informatics technical standards. How relevant to nursing practice are these technical standards? How much does a clinical nurse need to know about these standards? Explain your reasoning. What are some key considerations for an informatics nurse specialist eg., what skills and knowledge are needed to best fulfill job/career roles?

Healthcare policy change on your unit or in your organization using The Policy Process

Considering the Policy Process (Chapter 7 – Berkowitz in Mason, Levitt, & Chaffee), appraise a recent healthcare policy change on your unit or in your organization using the Policy Process.  This discussion may also present for you an opportunity to reflect back on a “burning question” that you may have as a nurse.

 

  1. Problem:  What was the basis for the policy change?  What was the problem? How was it identified?
  2. Evidence based rationale: What evidence was used to determine the problem was significant enough to result in a change?
  3. Options:  Were there alternative options for consideration prior to developing the policy? How was the policy implemented?
  4. Stakeholder Involvement: Who was informed and educated about the decisions and issues surrounding the problem, issue, policy?
  5. Implementation: What were the actions steps to implementation?
  6. Evaluation:  Did the policy work (resolve the problem it was designed to address)?  Were there any unintended consequences of the policy?  How likely will the policy impact change on the unit, in the organization or in your practice?

Long-term lung disease

Asthma is a long-term lung disease that causes symptoms like, wheezing, tightness in the chest, and trouble breathing. Most people with asthma have symptoms that get worse when they are exposed to things like dust mites, smoke, and pollen (Bush, 2019). People who are overweight or obese, have asthma in their family, or are personally or genetically more likely to get asthma are more likely to get it.

Pneumonia is an infection of the lungs that can lead to pneumonia, which is a very dangerous lung infection. The Streptococcus pneumoniae bacterium causes strep pneumonitis, which is the most common type of pneumonia. Pneumonia can happen when the strep pneumonitis bacterium gets into the airways, when something else hurts the airways, or when the immune system of the body attacks the lungs (Coccia et. al., 2017).

There are many different signs of pneumonia, but the most common ones are fever, chest pain, shortness of breath, and trouble breathing.

Finally, the diagnosis of pneumonia is important because it is a serious lung infection that can lead to death. If the diagnosis is made early, the patient can be treated with antibiotics and breathing therapy. If the infection is severe, the patient may need to be hospitalized.

Your Role as a PSW in The Community Setting? 

1.How can you apply the acquired knowledge in your role as a PSW in the Community Setting?  Few weeks later, Grace saw John (Mrs. Cross son) who came to visit his mom.  After his visit, Mrs. Cross appeared to be anxious and concerned. Two days after she shared her concerns with Grace.  Apparently, John decided to move from BC to Toronto. John lost his job due to COVID and the family struggled financially.

Cross’sJohn has two kids. His wife didn’t work for many years. John lived in Barb’s house when they came from BC for the funeral.

 He cannot stay there any longer. Mrs. Cross has a two-bedroom condo apartment. The apartment is rented. John is asking Mrs. Cross to allow his family to live there until they recover financially. He won’t be able to pay for the apartment, and asks Mrs.

Cross to support them money-wise. Mrs. Cross also mentioned that John asked her to change the Will, to make him her power of attorney (POA) and to write the apartment on his name.  One day, you overheard their phone conversation. John was yelling at Mrs. Cross. You heard him saying, “Who do you want to leave this apartment to?

I am your son, and it belongs to me. You have to help me and my kids.” Mrs. Cross made John her POA, but refused to change the Will and to write the apartment on his name. She allowed them to live in the apartment until he finds a job. She agreed to pay for the condo bills. 

Mrs. Cross still suffers from pain. Her arthritis got worse, and she needs to ambulate with a walker. Grace also noticed that Mrs. Cross got prescribed a new BP medication. During the last medical check-up, her BP was 178/97. 

On Monday, Grace was scheduled to assist Mrs. Cross with a shower and laundry. She enters the apartment @ 8 am and finds Mrs. Cross on the floor.  Grace noticed that the right leg is turned outwards and shorter than the other. Mrs. Cross is unconscious, and the right side of the face is not symmetrical to the left.
