...This plan will be illustrating the care pathway for the 2 physiological disorders and the roles of the practitioners involved. The two physiological disorders are eczema and nephrotic syndrome. The practitioners involved in eczema are the GP and pharmacist. General Practitioners (GP): GPs look after the health of people in the local community and deal with a wide range of health problems. They take into account physical, emotional and social factors when diagnosing treatment and recommending the required treatment (AGGAS, 2013). If a GP is unable to deal with a problem themselves, the usually refer the patient to a hospital for tests, treatment, or to see a consultant with specialist knowledge (NHS Choices, 2013). For example in eczema, if the GP sees that the condition is not getting any better, or is worsening, the will refer the patient to see a dermatologist.

...Nursing Research Utilization Project Proposal Abstract The issue of controlling and preventing hospital-acquired infections is a major problem in the Healthcare system. Most patients admitted to hospitals are at some risk of contracting a hospital-acquired infection (Paterson, 2012). Some patients are more vulnerable than others; these include the elderly, patients with defective immune systems, and premature babies. Hospital-acquired infections remain a major concern, and they can occur in any care setting, including acute care within hospitals, outpatient surgery centers, clinics, and long-term care facilities (such as nursing homes or rehab centers). Four categories account for 75% of all acquired infections in the acute care hospital setting. These are surgical site infections, central line-associated bloodstream infections, ventilator-associated pneumonia, and catheter-associated urinary tract infections (Nassof, 2009). Urinary tract infections comprise the highest percentage (Paterson, 2012). These infections usually are spread by the contaminated hands of healthcare providers or the patient’s family members. They are also caused by contaminated surfaces or hospital equipment that has not been properly cleaned (Nassof, 2009). The rate of exposure to infectious materials could be reduced if healthcare providers adhered to certain standard precautions such as hand hygiene. The proposal for this nursing research utilization project is to educate nurses on the importance...

...definition is all embracing enough to serve as a guide throughout this chapter. The system of internal control extends beyond financial matters of an organization, in that human resource control, production control, work study and scheduling, operations research, quality control, total quality management, audit committee, corporate governance and all security arrangements among others are integral part of the system of control.
