...aspects of life and not just the absence of disease. (GCU, 2013) According to WHO, health promotion is creating the framework for health for all people in their everyday lives. (Fry & Rissel, 2010). For decades, the primary focus of health care has been on the care of the sick but in present day and time, the focus has broadened to determining the cause of illness and prevention of disease, thus enhancing the quality of life and life expectancy in general which can only be achieved by educating the public in health promotion which includes prevention and early detection. With improved health standards and statistics, health care providers have been able to conduct researches helping them isolate the cause, develop treatment and establish methods to decrease the spread of the disease. General medical research and specific research for the cause and cure of cancer, lung disease, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, heart disease and many other life threatening conditions continue to be integral parts of health care system in this country. (Christensen & Kockrow, 1991/2006) Government has taken initiatives like Healthy People, to improve...

...Preventive maintenance (PM) has the following meanings: 1. The care and servicing by personnel for the purpose of maintaining equipment and facilities in satisfactory operating condition by providing for systematic inspection,detection, and correction of incipient failures either before they occur or before they develop into major defects. 2. Maintenance, including tests, measurements, adjustments, and parts replacement, performed specifically to prevent faults from occurring. The primary goal of maintenance is to avoid or mitigate the consequences of failure of equipment. This may be by preventing the failure before it actually occurs which Planned Maintenance and Condition Based Maintenance help to achieve. It is designed to preserve and restore equipment reliability by replacing worn components before they actually fail. Preventive maintenance activities include partial or complete overhauls at specified periods, oil changes, lubrication, minor adjustments, and so on. In addition, workers can record equipment deterioration so they know to replace or repair worn parts before they cause system failure. The ideal preventive maintenance program would prevent all equipment failure before it occurs There is a controversy of sorts regarding the propriety of the usage “preventative.” Three kinds of maintenance: Preventive Corrective Block What is Preventative Maintenance? Preventative maintenance (or Preventive Maintenance ) is maintenance that is regularly performed...

...Literature Review In ever changing healthcare, there have been some remarkable innovations in the medical field. Technological advances and scientific researches will continue to find solutions to the health problems of the people. Though, “prevention is better than cure”. To prevent disease in the healthcare needs a wide range of consistent programs, actions and activities. Recognizing the health problems and evolving healthy life style is vital for people in our era and platform. Furthermore, the global economy is straining by increasing healthcare expenses. Thus, health promotion is the only way to reduce health incidence (occurrence of new cases) of definite diseases such as obesity, autism, heart disease, diabetes, lung cancer and many more. Some are focused efforts of public health professionals and agencies, such as the National Institutes of Health (NIH) office of Disease Prevention, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the American Cancer Society, (Prevention of Disease (2011, ¶ 1 to 3). The effectiveness of global and local disease prevention programs depend mostly on individuals on how they take their personal responsibilities by avoiding tobacco use, substance abuse, and unsafe sex. All health problems start as a small issues than and develops into major illnesses. Many of these problems/ illnesses/ diseases can be prevented with adequate education at individual, institutional and community levels, (Prevention of Disease (2011, ¶ 1 to 3). Nurses play...

...published journal articles were chosen as references-each depicting a situation in the varied levels of care. The levels of health promotion in nursing will be discussed and any differences therein. Also discussed will be the evolution of nursing roles and responsibilities. Health Promotion Defined In order to begin, the three levels of health promotion will be defined. The first level- Primary Prevention, are ‘methods to avoid the occurrence of disease’ (Wikipedia 2013). Primary care is what one would seek when an acute issue has occurred; for example, the development of flu symptoms, an infection or a broken bone. Primary care is also concerned with preventive medicine such as pediatric well baby visits. Secondary Prevention is ‘a method to diagnose and treat existent disease in early stages before it causes significant morbidity’ (Wikipedia 2013). Typically a primary care provider will refer the patient to a secondary care specialist; for example, an oncologist who is a doctor that specializes in cancer. The third level- Tertiary Prevention, are ‘methods to reduce negative impact of existent disease by restoring function and reducing disease-related complications’ (Wikipedia 2013). For a patient that has ended up in the hospital setting and requires a higher level of specialty care and use of specialty equipment; for example, coronary artery bypass surgery, dialysis or severe burn treatment. Discussion Health care providers may be doctors, nurse practitioners and...

...Health Promotion 1 Literature Review Bressy Thomas Grand Canyon University Health Promotion 2 Health promotion involves motivation and improvement in someone’s health and identifies their potential health problems. From the literature reviews, Health promotion defined in different ways. Literature, Worldviews on Evidence-base nursing, explains health promotion as, Etiologically –driven socio-political-economic determinants of health are addressed. This serves to counter social inaction and social division/inequality. It is an inherently political process…that leads to community coalitions through shared radical consciousness. Health promotion looks to develop and reform social structures…between representative stakeholders in different sectors and agencies. (Whitehead 2004b) Looking after community, looking after their lifestyles and advising them really on their needs and how...

...Health Promotion Initially when health promotion was developed it grew and improved the healthy status and health conditions of the public. Health promotion is a relationship between actions, knowledge, attitudes, and behavior and health outcomes from the individual to the societal level. In the past the focus was more on disease prevention and control of communicable disease, when contagious and communicable disease like measles, polio and small pox were present. As government and health care agencies are involved communicable disease are under control and now focus on health promotion. This paper explore the concept of health , health promotion, multiple health models , nursing roles and responsibilities and multiple health models and its approach taken towards health promotion. According to each individual health is defined and can be affected by many factors. According to World Health Organization (WHO) (World Health Organization, 2003) health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. “Health is a complex state of metabolic efficiency that represents the biological integration associated with physical, mental, and emotional stability of a person. It represents the ability to identify and realize aspiration, satisfy needs and to change and or adapt to its environment. Health is therefore a resource for everyday life.” (Green, 2010) Health promotion is “the art and science of helping people discover the...

...Chapter 10: Review Questions Solutions 1. What are the deliverables from coding, testing, and installation? The deliverables from coding, testing, and installation are: (1) from coding, code and program documentation; (2) from testing, test scenarios and test data and the results of program and system testing; and (3) from installation, user guides, user training plans, and installation plans. 2. Explain the testing process for code. The testing process involves testing code for errors and functionality. The testing process, guided by a detailed testing plan, can begin as soon as modules are coded and proceeds in parallel with the rest of the coding process. Modules are tested individually and then as parts of larger programs and parts of larger systems. 3. What are the four approaches to installation? Which is the most expensive? Which is the most risky? How does an organization decide which approach to use? The four approaches to installation are direct, parallel, single location, and phased. With the direct approach, the old system is turned off, and the new one is turned on. In the parallel approach, both systems are run until management decides the old system can be turned off. In single location, the system is tried out in a pilot project at one location and then implemented elsewhere if the pilot is successful. With the phased approach, the new system is brought online gradually, usually function by function...

...promoted and encouraged which in return, enables an individual to lead a productive life. Secondary prevention is an action taken to stop the progress of a disease at its beginning stage and prevent complications. It is in the domain of clinical medicine. It is less effective and more expensive than primary prevention. The third level is tertiary prevention which provides measures to reduce or limit disabilities and impairment caused by disease and bad health. It lessens suffering and helps patients adjust to the conditions. There are various theories on how to implement health promotion which targets behavior change. Elder et al. (1999) summarized the important ingredients for successful health promotion and prevention programs. Methods should include helping the person want to change, assuring him that he has the needed skills, and that he is capable of using the skills to change a particular behavior. To achieve his goal, he must be faced with a limited amount of barriers and he should be provided with social...

...of life. It colludes to the action a person takes when there are no indications of any illness to stay physically fit. In nursing, promotion of health is vital as it not only intends to provide knowledge but also influences and gives aid to people and groups alike so that they can be more responsible and be doing something about their physical and mental condition. It even plays a significant role in the development of individuals and groups which help the people to better maintain a good, healthy and comfortable lifestyle. Roles and responsibilities of nursing develop gradually in the improvement of health. Nurses have a significant role in promoting health, having educational system of procedures in the assessment of health and also preventive services. The nurses have to engage in the process of prioritizing sick or injured people according to the seriousness of their condition or injury, refer the patient to the respective medical specialist and also take part in case management activities. Nurses assist the patients in learning and adapting self care strategies and personal management capabilities. Nurses implement health promotion by making sure to give care to everyone; simultaneously taking care in keeping their identity, code of moral principles, values and capabilities. This is done by taking care of people of all ages, irrespective of their being healthy or ill, or they being from different cultural backgrounds. Nurses also take care of people who are...

...Proceedings of the 2012 International Conference on Industrial Engineering and Operations Management Istanbul, Turkey, July 3 – 6, 2012 Effective Preventive Maintenance Scheduling: A Case Study Hasnida Ab-Samat, Livendran Nair Jeikumar, Ernnie Illyani Basri, Nurul Aida Harun and Shahrul Kamaruddin School of Mechanical Engineering Universiti Sains Malaysia Engineering Campus, 14300 Nibong Tebal, Penang, Malaysia Abstract Maintenance is an important system in operation. In an era where industries are focusing on 24 hours operation to maximize production, machines are pushed to its absolute limits to cope with this demand. As utilization increases, the rate at which the machine parts get worn out increases thus the frequency of failure increases rapidly. To combat this problem and ensure that machines continue to operate at its optimum, maintenance work is carried out. One of the branches of maintenance technique which is carried out to prevent occurrences of failure before it happen is known as Preventive Maintenance (PM). However, performing PM may not be as easy as it requires great cooperation from the maintenance, production and management departments. This paper is written to study the aspects of effective PM and to analyze the causes of inefficient PM activity in a case study company and its implications. Another important approach taken is to investigate the causes of machine downtime by performing a root cause analysis. Affinity diagram was formed to highlight...
