...Primary and Team Nursing Care Cody Crohurst PMI Nursing Program Nur 232 Instructor: Lin Nosek September 11, 2013 Patient Care Delivery Methods Within today’s health care systems there are a variety of different methods that are used to provide adequate care for people seeking health care. Some of these methods are managed care, functional nursing, team nursing, primary nursing, and patient-focused care. Managed care will be seen in a variety of settings such as Health Maintenance Organizations (HMO) of Preferred Provider Organizations (PPO). Functional nursing is a task oriented environment, which each health care provider is assigned a task and reports to a head nurse. In team nursing, which will be discussed more in depth later, involves a nurse that is in charge of group of different members that takes care of a group of patients. Primary nursing, also discussed more in depth in this paper, involves a primary nurse that cares for all needs of a patient within a 24 hour time frame. Lastly, there is patient-focused care and this method involves the patient, the patient’s family, and the health care team to collectively make decisions about the health care for that individual. Primary and team nursing will be explained further in detail throughout this paper as well as being compared to one another as well as the difference between them explained. Furthermore how these methods are appropriate in today’s health care facilities will also be investigated. Primary...

The definition of health promotion was established by the World Health Organization (WHO) in the organization’s Ottawa Charter. The charter was signed in 1986. The original definition was slightly altered in 2005 at the WHO’s Bangkok Health Summit to include the ability of one to increase the knowledge and control of their health. The designation of health promotion has been adopted although individual countries have been awarded the privilege to decide on how best to implement health promotion. The WHO designed three health models that have influenced the growth of health promotion. The first was the biomedical model of health that focuses on the behaviors and lifestyle of an individual. The biomedical model does not treat individuals based on their environment. The second is the social model that takes into account society’s collective behavior to create a common universal health promotion plan. The third is the ecological model, which takes into account the relationship between the individual and their surrounding environment (VicHealth, 2013). The different environmental systems that...

...The Integrative Medicine lecture left me with a yearning to better understand the way in which traditional treatment regimens are not fully meeting healthcare needs. The two things I would like to integrate into primary care practice are self regulation and assisting patients in weaning off opioids. As Kathryn Hansen spoke about, I have personally seen the impact that self regulation techniques (triangle of awareness, diaphragmatic breathing, etc.) can make on stress and anxiety. In addition to anecdotal evidence, there is an increasing body of evidence that supports the role of mindfulness and other self-regulation techniques on our health.

...plant and Analysis of Fill rate, Stock maintenance, Primary movement of iDAS distributors" focused on surfacing out the losses that HCCBPL is bearing and to find the measures for its eradication. The project consisted of 3 objectives: The 1st objective was to surface out the non moving / slow moving stocks that are the potential Best Before Due Date stocks (BBD's) and to automate the process on weekly basis - For that I analyzed the stock movement of a week and created a macro which can be run on weekly basis and will showcase the potential BBD's. The macro is already implemented in Khurda plant and there is no stuck out probability of BBD stocks in Khurda now. The 2nd objective was to create an MIS to provide an accountability of bottlenecks on indirect approach of distribution at distributor point. For that I understood the Improvised Distribution Automated System (iDAS) reports well, found out the reports which are beneficial for RTM Managers to see regularly so that the problems can be accountable. The analysis is done by the data gathered from the iDAS Fill rate report and created an MIS to identify the major stock out Stock Keeping Units (SKU's) and area which has got a greater market issue i.e., area and outlets where the stocks are not delivered as per the order can be easily detected and steps can be taken to solve the issues. The 3rd objective was to analyse the stock maintenance and primary movement of iDAS distributors. I showed a trend...

...of Research Process In the search of excellent sources, for my “what is nursing” paper, I stumbled upon the RCN Publishing Company Database. The RCN Publishing Company publishes a best selling journal for nurses and nursing students. Nursing Standard is a journal full of techniques, skills and information to make its nursing audience the best nurses that they can be. My topic, nursing is compassionate, had its best search results with the word compassion. I have not yet spoken to any nurses to gain their perspective on this topic. I am however considering interviewing my mother, who is a registered nurse, as well as a few of her coworkers. I believe that this would be a fantastic way to gain a primary source for my paper The sources that I have selected so far pass every standard on the CRAAP test. My oldest source is from 2008 while the others are from 2012 and 2013. However a much older source would be acceptable for my topic because compassion will never change. Nurses have always been kind and compassionate. These characteristics will continue to be this way for a very long time. One source is a second edition but carries the same type of information as its previous edition. All of my sources are centered around compassion, which is my main topic. I spent some time trying to find the best sources for my topic. The sources I have found have a specific audience. The audience is nurses or nursing students. I also believe that these sources are appropriate for me. They...

It requires transforming the health care system to meet new challenges such as, quality, affordable and safe care that will require the roles of health care professionals, including nurses, roles to be reevaluated ("Health Care Reform," 2015). With that said, the Institution of Medicine (IOM) released a report in 2010 that states, “nurses’ roles, responsibilities, and education should change significantly to meet the increased demand for care that will be created by health care reform and to advance improvements in America’s increasingly complex health system” ("Health Care Reform," 2015, p. 1). The 2010 IOM report has great impact in the nursing field that will promote positive changes. In this paper I will discuss the impact of the IOM report on nursing education, nurse’s role as a leader, and nursing practice, particularly in primary care. Lastly, an explanation of how one can change their current practice to meet the goals of the IOM report will be discussed. The IOM report calls for nurses to achieve higher levels of education. One of the impacts to nursing education is the goal of increasing the percentage of nurses with a bachelor’s of science in nursing (BSN) to 80 percent by 2020 ("The Future of Nursing," 2011).

The IOM was established in 1970 by the National Academy of Sciences.

In order to achieve these goals the group focuses the need to advance nursing education, nursing practice and nursing leadership. In healthcare nursing is considered one of the most versatile occupations with many different career pathways, a broadening scope of practice and increasing number of responsibilities. Nurses are considered to be the central part of the healthcare system to provide high quality and safe patient care.

Since the Affordable Health Care Act passed in 2010, our nation now faces new challenges of providing affordable, quality health care to all Americans. The Institute of Medicine (IOM) is an organization that advises the federal government about how to improve our nation’s health care. The IOM has devised a plan to help change the future of nursing and break down the barriers that hinder the nursing profession in the new health care system. The report “Calls on nurses, individually and as a profession, to embrace changes needed to promote health, prevent illness, and care for people in all settings across the lifespan,” (Institute of Medicine, 2010 p. 10). How can nurses ensure that they are providing safe, quality care with the changing health care system and more complex patient care? Since nurses make up a major part of the health care workforce they can help shape and influence how the new health care reform will help the public obtain affordable, safe care that starts in the community and continues throughout all points of service, by further nursing education, establishing and participating in primary care and being leaders in the health...

MIHAILA Grand Canyon University: NRS-430V December 4, 2015 Professional Development of Nursing Professionals The nursing profession will face significant changes in the near future. There is an urge to reconsider changes in the healthcare system to better outcome for patients and nursing professionals. Over the years patients needs become more complex with a great desire for more skilled, trained, and highly educated nurses to provide higher quality of care.
