Advocate for Higher Health Care Quality
One way that nurses can pursue the cause of high quality health care is through agitating for deployment of sufficient numbers of nurses in both primary and secondary school systems. Normally, school nurses are overloaded with workload because the number of students they are expected to attend to each day is way too high (Maryland & Gonzalez, 2012). Indeed, it is common practice in the U.S. for a single nurse to be responsible for caring for the health of students in two separate schools. This greatly hampers the quality of health care, owing to the huge ratio of students to the number of nurses.
Nurses can positively influence healthcare through relationships and encounters in their work places. In the case of a remodeling project (Maryland & Gonzalez, 2012; Tomajan, 2012), a forum is called in to moderate discussion on the proposed remodeling project at a given health center, nurses working as a group could participate in such a public forum and provide information on why the project that has been proposed would be a good thing to do.
Increased Access to Long-Term Services and Support (LTSS)
Long-term support programs and long-term services can be started by nurses for the community. Thus, nurses would liaise with states, providers, advocates, consumers and other interested...
A program like that should be inclusive, effective, accountable, efficient, sustainable, transparent, person-driven, competent; culturally and well coordinated.
Nurses can also promote access to LTSS by adopting and utilizing information technology. Service delivery will be enhanced by these strategies. Nurses would be helped to maintain a single but dynamic record of all patients in one place in a way that they can access by a click of a mouse; linking healthcare services and records, case records, care plans, and related data with the administrative data at Medicaid MDS for residents of nursing homes and related data sets. It would be easy for providers to follow the health care record of a patient; even as such clients keep moving from one healthcare facility to another. Linked automated data makes it possible to access reliable metrics for tracking the program performance and outcomes of clients (Woodcock, 2011).

Health Systems Management and Electronic Health Records Healthcare is an essential factor or tool in relation to the American society. The society of America has no national socialized healthcare system. In this research paper, the focus will be on the Medicare healthcare system in the context of the United States. The paper will focus on illustration of the concepts of the Medicare healthcare system, various management challenges, problems, and opportunities in
Healthcare Health Care Law Ethics Health care over the years has become one of the most important debates to take place within the United States of America. This fact holds particularly true for the major part of the Obama Administrations whose New Health Care policies has been criticized extremely (Zhi Qu, 2010). The world, however, is still waiting for the final curtain to rise and to witness the climax which would be
Healthcare Economics Overall Healthcare And Economics Healthcare economics: Current challenges from a nursing perspective Although the subject of healthcare economics has been hotly-debated, on one issue there is widespread agreement: the aging of the population will substantively increase the demand for healthcare in the near and far future. As the population worldwide is aging and living longer, the need for essential services over a longer lifespan will generate more costs for an already-beleaguered
Health Care As human beings, our health and longevity have never been better. Many people today live to 100 years and beyond, and often in good and active health. One of the major reasons for this is better health care and more access to health care for more people. On the other hand, however, many people do not have access to the same health care services as others. Often, the main
Health Information Technology The development of patient management systems continues to revolutionize the field of healthcare, specifically in the areas of treatment plans, content and records management systems, and predictive analytics. These areas are all making healthcare information and knowledge management a critical success factor in creating effective healthcare information systems globally (Epstein, Fiscella, Lesser, Stange, 2010). Implicit in the areas of records management and predictive analytics is also the need
Health Law and Regulations In America, the health care industry is highly regulated. This is because there are certain aspects of the law which are designed to improve quality and offer everyone with a variety of treatment options. To fully understand this relationship requires carefully examining a specific government agency, the laws impacting the industry, the effects on a health care provider and how this is affecting communities. Together, these elements
