Nursing  Patient Preferences and Decision Making

/in /by

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/.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.

REPLY1Mackey and Bassendowski (2017) argue that the quality of patient outcome depends on well-trained nursing personnel. Further adding that reduced mortality rates, few medical errors and positive outcomes are associated with baccalaureate and degree nursing programs. In addition, training and learning process that instills skills in healthcare providers play a very important role in optimizing quality and guarantees patient safety. There are very many reasons why nurses decide to pursue baccalaureate degrees including to obtain leadership roles in organization as well as promoting quality of patient care. According to study carried out by National Center for Biotechnology information findings concluded that hospitals with high numbers with BSN nurses have generally lower mortality and few medical errors as compared to those hospitals with few BSN nurses.The labor statistics bureau released a report showing a shortage of 3 million BSN nurses in United States (Cho, Sloane, Kim, Kim, Choi, Yoo & Aiken, 2015). Despite the fact that hospitals still believe that they will still get 80% BSN registered nurses by the end of 2020 as recommended by institute of medicine there is still a large group of registered nurses without baccalaureate education. I work in palliative care unit in our facility where we have only one BSN trained nurse with many ADN nurses thus making it difficult to minimize medical errors. In conclusion, patient outcome is tied to nurse education level.ReferenceMackey, A., & Bassendowski, S. (2017). The history of evidence-based practice in nursing education and practice. Journal of Professional Nursing, 33(1), 51-55.Cho, E., Sloane, D. M., Kim, E. Y., Kim, S., Choi, M., Yoo, I. Y. … & Aiken, L. H. (2015).Effects of nurse staffing, work environments, and education on patient mortality: anobservational study. International journal of nursing studies, 52(2), 535-542.REPLY2Nursing practice, nursing as profession, nurses’ role and responsibilities have changed and evolved since the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF), the Institute of Medicine (IOM) report and Affordable Care Act (ACA). Nurses has become the essential workforce to change and improve the American health care system. Their direct and continuous interaction with patients and families, make them crucial resources of information regarding patient health condition and health care needs. Likewise, they are the advocates for patient rights, and quality, equal, and safe care. However, nurses must get better education to provide the community with safer, higher and adequate care, and play the important role to influence laws and legislations that affect patient health care delivery services. To meet the country’s health care demands, at least 80% of the existing nursing workforce should be prepared at the baccalaureate degree level by 2020. Concomitantly, baccalaureate-level nursing degrees should become the entry point of general nursing practice.Higher level of nursing education has showed better quality of care, less patient care errors, less mortality and better patient outcomes. This is evident in the research findings pertaining to nursing education and the rates of patient morbidity and patient mortality, which are significantly less among baccalaureate-prepared nurses (Kutney-Lee, Sloane, & Aiken, 2013).I work as clinical supervisor in a local hospital in Los Angeles. I have the opportunity to work with new grads who received orientation and training in the Versant program. This program provides new grads with BSN the opportunity to get experience and apply their nursing skills in acute care settings. Even thought, those nurses do not have experience in patient care, they are very knowledgeable about patient safety, assessments, nursing care, etc. They are excellent critical thinkers about patient health conditions changes, they know how to communicate with other health care professionals, they are flexible regarding patient assignments, influence health care decisions, and advocate for patient and family rights.Reference:Grand Canyon University, 2018.Chapter 3 in Trends in Health Care: A Nursing Perspective.https://www.gcumedia.com/digital-resources/grand-canyon-university/2018/trends-in-health-care_a-nursing-perspective_1e.phpKutney-Lee, A., Sloane, D.

Nursing  health policy and advocacy : Maternal Mental Disorders

/in /by

As you plan, develop, implement and evaluate your nursing practicum project, reflect on how this project and your graduate education have prepared you to meet the growing needs of healthcare and the diverse populations we serve.This week you will address Essential VI: Health Policy and Advocacy.400 words ; 2 citesEssential VI: Health Policy and AdvocacyRationaleThe healthcare environment is ever-evolving and influenced by technological, economic,political, and sociocultural factors locally and globally. Graduates of master’s degreenursing programs have requisite knowledge and skills to promote health, help shape thehealth delivery system, and advance values like social justice through policy processesand advocacy. Nursing’s call to political activism and policy advocacy emerges frommany different viewpoints. As more evidence links the broad psychosocial, economic,and cultural factors to health status, nurses are compelled to incorporate these factors intotheir approach to care. Most often, policy processes and system-level strategies yield thestrongest influence on these broad determinants of health. Being accountable forimproving the quality of healthcare delivery, nurses must understand the legal andpolitical determinants of the system and have the requisite skills to partner for animproved system. Nurses’ involvement in policy debates brings our professional valuesto bear on the process (Warner, 2003). Master’s-prepared nurses will use their politicalefficacy and competence to improve the health outcomes of populations and improve thequality of the healthcare delivery system.Policy shapes healthcare systems, influences social determinants of health, and thereforedetermines accessibility, accountability, and affordability of health care. Health policycreates conditions that promote or impede equity in access to care and health outcomes.Implementing strategies that address health disparities serves as a prelude to influencingpolicy formation. In order to influence policy, the master’s-prepared nurse needs to workwithin and affect change in systems. To effectively collaborate with stakeholders, themaster’s-prepared nurse must understand the fiscal context in which they are practicingand make the linkages among policy, financing, and access to quality health care. Thegraduate must understand the principles of healthcare economics, finance, paymentmethods, and the relationships between policy and health economics.Advocacy for patients, the profession, and health-promoting policies is operationalized indivergent ways. Attributes of advocacy include safeguarding autonomy, promoting socialjustice, using ethical principles, and empowering self and others (Grace, 2001; Hanks,2007; Xiaoyan & Jezewski, 2006). Giving voice and persuasion to needs and preferreddirection at the individual, institution, state, or federal policy level is integral for themaster’s-prepared nurse.The master’s-degree program prepares the graduate to:1. Analyze how policies influence the structure and financing of health care,practice, and health outcomes.2. Participate in the development and implementation of institutional, local, and stateand federal policy.3. Examine the effect of legal and regulatory processes on nursing practice,healthcare delivery, and outcomes.4. Interpret research, bringing the nursing perspective, for policy makers andstakeholders.5. Advocate for policies that improve the health of the public and the profession ofnursing.Sample Content• Policy process: development, implementation, and evaluation• Structure of healthcare delivery systems• Theories and models of policy making• Policy making environments: values, economies, politics, social• Policy-making process at various levels of government• Ethical and value-based frameworks guiding policy making22• General principles of microeconomics and macroeconomics, accounting, andmarketing strategies.• Globalization and global health• Interaction between regulatory processes and quality control• Health disparities• Social justice• Political activism• Economics of health care
