...ensure that blood and blood products are safe. In microbiology, pathologists identify microorganisms that can cause infections – bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites – so that the most effective treatment can be selected for each particular case. An anatomic pathologist assists surgeons during operations by providing immediate diagnoses on biopsies (specially treated tissues removed in surgery and rushed to the lab). A forensic pathologist uses lab science to answer questions about evidence collected for criminal and civil cases. Other pathologists conduct research in pathology, developing new tests and new instruments to better diagnose diseases. Some pathologists devote their careers to research in pathology, developing new tests and new instruments to better diagnose diseases. Pathologists often teach their specialty to medical students and those preparing for other laboratory professions, including clinical lab technology and cytotechnology, among others. Pathologists are problem-solvers, fascinated by the process of disease and eager to unlock medical mysteries, such as AIDS and diabetes, using the sophisticated tools and methods of modern laboratory science.

Specialist clinics provide an interface between primary care services and acute inpatient services, with access to: • medical, nursing, midwifery and allied health professionals for assessment, diagnosis and treatment • ongoing specialist management of chronic and complex conditions in collaboration with community providers • pre and post-hospital care • maternity care • related diagnostic services such as pathology and imaging. Patients are referred to specialist clinics by general practitioners (GPs), specialists and other community-based healthcare providers, as well as clinicians in emergency departments, inpatient units and other areas of the hospital. Out-patient pharmacy Outpatient pharmacy can be described as a diverse clinical practice environment. Most pharmacists in the outpatient setting provide multiple roles ranging from dispensing and counseling to medication therapy management (MTM) services and transition of care. The environment provides patients with the opportunity to speak one-on-one with a pharmacist and schedule MTM services and/or disease management services. Outpatient pharmacy can be primary care–based or disease-specific...

...Introduction Our voice forms an important part of our everyday lives. However, it is when the voice is used as a part of one’s profession, that it becomes indispensable. Teaching is one such profession (Buekers, Bierens, Kingma & Marres, 1995; Simberg, Sala & Ronnemaa, 2004). Teachers regularly face vocal abuse at work (Smith et al., 1998), the effects of which manifest themselves in ways more than speaking on the job (Sovani & Mukundan 2010). In spite of this, very little is currently being done in India to address voice problems of teachers (Sovani & Mukundan, 2010). Need for the study Though Koufman and Isaacson’s (1991) vocal usage classification system classifies teachers as Level II vocal professionals, this does not, in any way, reduce...

Learning strategies is how a person approaches learning and uses the information. Learning strategies helps learner understand information, solve problems and be successful. Student Learning Style VARK has identified four different strategies to learning which is visual, aural, read/write and kinesthetic. VARK provides students information regarding indication of their stronger and weaker preferences. Each learning style has its own preferred method for intake and output of information. Not all students have one preferred method, one can use different learning style in different situations, which is multimodal. Visual learners take in information by pictures and analyzing each portion, aural learner prefer to hear things by taping lectures and attend discussions, kinesthetic learner can use samples, photographs etc., and read/write learner take in information by using dictionaries, reviewing notes, textbooks, handouts etc. According to VARK the results of the quiz taken was visual-three,...

...Concept Analysis Robin A. Jonas University of Phoenix Abstract The term ‘nursing’ appears left open to a wide array of definitions and interpretations. If the discipline of nursing is to develop, progress and take its place in society as a distinct and knowledgeable profession in all contexts, a clear analysis of the term must be undertaken. A summation of opinions gathered in personal interviews with nurse leaders specializing in education, research, and practice add a personal and emotional perspective to the analysis. Appendix A lists questions used in the interviews. A concept map serves as a visual result of this analysis. Clarity of the concept of nursing will add to its knowledge base and is important to future development of the discipline. Results suggest a need for the nursing discipline to adopt a concept that will explain the discipline given its presentation in any context. Keywords: art of nursing, science of nursing, concept analysis, knowing, relevant and irrelevant attributes of nursing Nursing: A Concept Analysis ...

...knowledge needed to make a clinical decision and have the skills necessary to act on the clinical decision and while doing so, making sure the literature they are basing their decision off of is reliable and is of high quality (2005). It was also stated to be important to always be evaluating ones clinical decision and its effectiveness and efficiency with their particular client, just because a treatment approach looks good on paper or worked really well with a similar client does not mean it is the perfect one for the current client and may require some tweaks (ASHA, 2005). Including all of the above aspects into clinical decision making, in regards to a treatment approach, is what fabricates evidence based practice. In speech-language pathology this is especially important, communication is a large part of everybody’s lives and when there is a breakdown in communication there is a decreased quality of life and overall feelings of wellbeing. Using evidence based practice is the way to ensure that a treatment approach for a particular client will improve their communication abilities resulting in an overall improved quality of life.

...Jean Watson’s human caring theory NUR 405 May 23, 2011 Dr. Carol King, DNP, RN, MSN, APRN, FNP-BC The caring theory was grounded on a humanitarian perspective and is found on a humanistic approach toward human caring programs and experiences. It acknowledges that life with individuals and their community to the surrounding environment are somehow connect and affects wellbeing of everything involved. The nature of the theory caring implies that it embraces reflective investigations as well subjective and interpretative inquiries. The nursing profession uses nursing theories as the framework and foundation for practice. Many people find nursing theories to be meaningless and of no use to the profession until they learn the history and meaning behind nursing theories. Nursing theories aid nurses by improving patient care and enhancing communication between members. “The theory of human caring was initiated by Jean Watson in the late 1970s. Jean Watson was a nursing professor at Colorado University. Dr. Jean Watson is Distinguished Professor of Nursing and holds a Chair in Caring Science at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center. She is founder of the original Center for Human Caring in Colorado and is a Fellow of the American Academy of Nursing. She previously served as Dean of Nursing at the university Health Sciences Center and is a previous president of the National League for Nursing” (Watson, 1979, p. 8). The Human caring...

...major factors determining the effectiveness of a health institution includes patient care management and patient satisfaction. Hospitals are very expensive to build and to operate. Administrators and professionals have to be extremely cost conscious. Effective computerised systems and procedures need to be implemented to ensure proper utilization of limited resources toward quality health care. It becomes even more important when an in-house medical facility is provided by an industry for it’s employees, as is the case for Tata Steel. Patient care management in Tata hospital has fully utilised the power of computers in Medicare, whereby network of integrated systems maintaining patient database for the hospital services in the areas of Pathology, Radiology, Medical Research, In-patient Admissions and Billing, Medical Stores & Pharmacy are operational. The implementation of the above modules have evolved user-friendly computerized systems which are loved and cared by all.
