Practicum Goal
1c) Evidence of Accomplishments: A multi-page literature review is a written text that serves as evidence of completion of the literature review. This will outline the work reviewed, where it was published, who wrote it, what the contents of this work were, and how they were relevant to this study. The literature review will be presented as part of the practicum journal. There should be evidence that the literature review was thorough, covering the current academic thought on the subject.
2c) Evidence of Accomplishments: There should be a copy of the interview texts, in full, providing evidence that the interview was conducted. There may also be notes that accompany the interview to provide some context and understanding of the interview itself. Further, this learning objective highlighted the need to gather admissions records from the triage nurse. If that is possible, then that should also be submitted here as evidence. If it is not possible, that should be noted. The interviews should outline how as interviewed, contain the text of the interview (which should be recorded), and should contain a written summary of the interview content.
3c) Evidence of Accomplishments: A written summary of the Six Sigma principles should be presented in the practicum journal. This should include an explanation of what Six Sigma is, and how it works. There should also be a presentation (ppt) and accompanying speaker notes to outline the Six Sigma principles. This should clarify the information in the written summary.
4c) Evidence of Accomplishments: There should be a written document highlighting the outcomes and conclusions of the data analysis. There should also be a set of objectives identified for the ED. The final piece of evidence will be a set of recommendations that are designed to help the ED meet these objectives.
5c) Evidence of Accomplishments: The evidence of this learning objective will be the results from the plan that I have implemented, including an evaluation of the null hypothesis and analysis of the measures of output evaluated against the outputs of the organization prior to implementing my recommendations.
Practicum Goal: To reduce the percentage of patients who leave the emergency room prior to treatment.
Emergency Room Management Diagnose the root causes of the complaints about the clinic. In the recent number of days, the number of the patients visiting the clinic has slowly but drastically increased. In contrary to the past days, the sick patients requiring serious attention from the doctors and the available physicians have increased. In the past, most of the patients only consulted the doctor regarding the disease and infection and acquired appropriate
F. The uninsured are increasingly using the ED for their non-emergency needs. III. The effects of emergency room overcrowding can be deadly. A. Boarding patients, or keeping already treated or stabilized patients in the ED, prevents patients from receiving the inpatient care they need. B. Long wait times and inefficient service can mean loss of life IV. Possible solutions demand health care system overhaul. A. More efficient hospital registration would streamline emergency room procedures. B. Standing
Another statement regarding the health problem of a patient is the possible diagnosis which tends to declare about a problem that the patient most probably has. Although due to lack of information an accurate diagnosis is not possible. Further on there is an actual diagnosis is the diagnosis of a health problem that the patient has and nursing care can be beneficial for the patient. Moreover a syndrome diagnosis
(Cole; Ramirez; Luna-Gonzales, 1999) The Nurse Practitioner -- NP is a registered nurse -- RN having additional education in health assessment, diagnosis and management of illnesses and injuries, inclusive of ordering tests and prescribing drugs. NPs deliver a range of health services to people across all ages, families, communities and groups. Their practice stresses on the health promotion and prevention of illness. They are regulated to undertake comprehensive assessment of
But let's look at this resolution in a bit more depth. Briefly, processes like full capacity protocols, bedside registration, bypassing triage, adding staff during increased volume, setting up a separate "line" for treating simple fractures, lacerations, etc., establishing turn-around-time (TAT) goals for procedures and patients, can go a long way to begin to cure the problem of overcrowding (ACEP, 2008, p. 10). Full-capacity protocols. Here is a typical full-capacity protocol
There is a need for the nurse to be proficient and efficient in her work, because ED's are experiencing an increasing number of patient visits, and there are normally more patient's waiting to be seen than is appropriate for the size of the facility's ED (GAO, 2008). If we compare the patient flow and the speed with which the ED nurse must work in order to accomplish her responsibilities and
