...Those who like to listen to lectures, watch videos, can hear something and remember it, and needs to speak through direction are called aural learners. Kinesthetic learners are hands on; they do best by performing an activity for themselves. It is very hard for a kinesthetic learner to just sit and listen, and not perform the activity they are listening to. * After completing the VARK questionnaire the identified learning style was kinesthetic with a score of 13 closely followed by read/write with a score of 11. Kinesthetic learners usually do not like sitting and listening. Research shows adults who are kinesthetic learners do best with hands on activities (Russell, 2006). Having a read/write score 11 means reading and writing is another identified way of learning. According to research these learners will need written instructions provided. Read/write learners will read and follow the directions and may even take notes for their own personal reference (Russell, 2006). * Being a kinesthetic and read/write learner, becoming a nurse was a good occupation choice. Nursing school offers many instances where learners can read and write to take notes, along with having real practical hands on experiences in the lab and in clinicals. According to VARK, case studies are a great way for...

...Communication Paper Communication in Health Care This paper is to discuss the use of e-mail in health care settings. 2012 Levinia Hall University of Phoenix 2/27/2012 Introduction Organizations over the years have changed they are no longer the standard organization that we are used to. Many organizations even some health care organizations can be considered a boundary less organization (Training, 2004). A boundary less organization is an organization that is able to communicate mainly through email, phone, and other virtual methods (Training, 2004). Boundary less organizations freedom to telecommute with any other organization around the world gives them the freedom to conduct business around the world. Improving Communication Using email and physician websites improve the communication between consumers and providers and a time saver as well (Cameron, 2009). Patients are willing to use e-mail and physicians’ websites to communicate with their doctors in an effort to save time, as long as they do not have to pay for the ability, according to survey results by Lightspeed Research. More than half of the 1,000 survey respondents said they are willing to use e-mail for a variety of interactions with their physicians, including receiving routine test results (59 percent), requesting repeat prescriptions (53 percent), confirming appointments (53 percent), and updating their doctors on existing conditioning (51 percent) (Cameron, 2009). Using a doctor's website for...

...MKTG577 Case: Genie Model 465 Timothy Flaherty Section 11121 Professor Hale October 6, 2014 Abstract The scenario in this medical devise case revolves around the training of a new sales representative. Specifically, this case addresses the effectiveness of the Sales Manager in dealing with the skill set development of the new salesman in selling the medical devise. This paper addresses the actual process the sales manager uses with the salesman and how it can be improved going forward for the mutual benefit of all stakeholders. The Genie Model 465 Sales Process Analysis Contained below are the case questions to be explored: “How might this sales manager's post-sales coaching session have been improved? What would you have done differently? Please provide your rationale to support your response? Make some recommendations about how the sales manager could have been more effective in his feedback to Joe. What could he have said? How could he have helped Joe during the sales call. Should the sales manager have behaved differently on the call?” My first impression based on the audio comments in the case; suggest to me that the sales manager’s demeanor was terrible. He was negative and talking down to the new representative during his post sales call debriefing. First of all, during the sales call I would have allowed myself to also have an exchange with the lab decision maker if I were the sales manager. It’s silly to be there and say nothing while passing...

...when they can communicate with the provider at any given time. Although there are several communication modalities, new technologies like e-mail in the health care settings have shown a positive change in the health care industry, relating to patient benefits, the value of maintaining patient confidentiality, and maintaining this use of communication in the health care market (John Fortney, 2010). This research paper will discuss the use of email in the health care setting and the pros and cons. Improving clinical outcomes stems from effective communication with patients and providers. New technology has increased the form of communication with patients and providers. E-mail is used to communicate with family, friends, co-workers, and health care professionals. The use of the Internet and e-mail communication has grown as new technology advance and continue to progress. E-mail seems to be an admirable way for patients to communicate with providers. Patients send emails to providers for various reasons such as laboratory results, prescription refills, and questions about follow-up care. Patients do have concerns regarding e-mail communication, but these concerns do not prevent patients to take advantage of this form of communication. Email Benefits Patients According to Miller, 2002 “the way in which doctors and patients interact can have important...

BMC Family Practice 2010, 11:79 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2296/11/79 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Reduction of missed appointments at an urban primary care clinic: a randomised controlled study Noelle Junod Perron1*, Melissa Dominicé Dao1, Michel P Kossovsky1, Valerie Miserez1, Carmen Chuard1, Alexandra Calmy2, Jean-Michel Gaspoz1 Abstract Background: Missed appointments are known to interfere with appropriate care and to misspend medical and administrative resources. The aim of this study was to test the effectiveness of a sequential intervention reminding patients of their upcoming appointment and to identify the profile of patients missing their appointments. Methods: We conducted a randomised controlled study in an urban primary care clinic at the Geneva University Hospitals serving a majority of vulnerable patients. All patients booked in a primary care or HIV clinic at the Geneva University Hospitals were sent a reminder 48 hrs prior to their appointment according to the following sequential intervention: 1. Phone call (fixed or mobile) reminder; 2. If no phone response: a Short Message Service (SMS) reminder; 3. If no available mobile phone number: a postal reminder. The rate of missed appointment, the cost of the intervention, and the profile of patients missing their appointment were recorded. Results: 2123 patients were included: 1052 in the intervention group, 1071 in the control group. Only 61.7% patients had a mobile phone...

...publication from October 2015, the IOM summarized their findings and established that inappropriate scheduling practices are a systemic problem across the entire nation and called for an end to arbitrary scheduling standards, for more transparency, more accountability, and for more attention to be paid to the “corrosive culture” that led to the manipulation of data in the system (1). The report also concludes that opportunities exist to implement enhanced practices and strategies. Appropriate Access To Care Within 48 Hours has been identified as one of the top priorities of the Spectrum Health System. To measure access, Spectrum Health uses ‘third next available appointment’ which is the average length of time in days between the day a patient makes a request for an appointment and the third available appointment. Many service lines have prolonged wait times across the Spectrum Health System and, like the VA system, there is tremendous opportunity for improvement. The Cardiology Department of Cardiovascular Services is one of the...

...pathways can be established to fit the workflows you want to establish, instead of performing the current workflows in digital form. This is currently what I see in our EMR. Our EMR was set up just like our paper forms. Easy for nurses, however is retitled with extra steps, redundant information, and not way to interface into a decision support to guide us to position our patients any different, be on the lookout for potential needs while our patient is under anesthesia, or how to promote standardization among our patient population-surgical patients. The other example I see that will be a great improvement in the health care system is Employee Health. The idea of self-assessment in the work place to improve the health of the work force could be integrated into a yearly bonus or break on their health care insurance. What a concept, those that log self-assessments, see a primary care doctor, and then follow up pays less for insurance. The HIT that could be involved in this aspect would be adding “fit bit” technology which was mentioned in class. The thought I have is that if the employee can plug in their “fit bit” technology into some kind of wizard that would help the employee take next steps……increase your exercise, decrease your calorie intake, see your primary care doctor to follow up on… This would be a large amount of data that could be shared by the employer as well as...
