...Team Based Health Care Delivery Oliver Solis Grand Canyon University Analysis of Contemporary Health Care Models HCA-515-0101 March 5, 2014 Team Based Health Care Delivery Introduction The paper that I will be presenting will discuss the latest model in health care delivery that was developed by researchers and medical professionals to come up to a better quality health service delivery to all. This is called the “Team based health care delivery” which simply defines as the collaboration between hospitals, physicians and other medical professionals that will work as a team to provide a quality and excellent care to the patient (American Hospital Association, “n.d.”, p. 2-8) Patients Case This case that I will be presenting is a case of a seventy year old man with hypertension that was admitted at the emergency room for CVA (Cerebro Vascular Accident). Upon arrival of the patient at the hospital ER stroke neurologist and the ER physician are the front liners that will see the patient. A nurse should be attending too to administer any medication and apply intravenous solution and of course take all the vital signs of the patient. .The patient must be evaluated within 45 minutes and the first 15 minutes is the most crucial in this case. Increased pressure in the brain should be monitored closely. Blood sugar is also a big factor and should not be neglected because it plays a special role too. Body temperature is another indicator that should not be forgotten to be...

...Team Based Approach Health Care Delivery Gretchen DeBose Grand Canyon University: HCA-515 July 21, 2014 Introduction Health care has not always been seen as something to be described as a team sport. In the olden days, people were seen by one doctors who knew all there was to know about healing and caring for the patient. This doctor probably lived in the community and was referred by other people within the neighborhood. He or she was available to attend to the needs anytime and any day or night. Nursing care was provided by family who would do their best to assist the sick. Health care has changed from the “good old days” and have continue to change the way of caring for patients as a whole. “The clinician operating in isolation is now seen as undesirable in health care-a long ranger, a cowboy, an individual who works long and hard to provide the care needed, but whose dependence on solitary resources and perspective may put the patient at risk.” (Mitchell 2012) Case Description In this paper, I have chosen to look at how a team-based approach can assist in fighting depression with patients who are diagnosed with diabetes and heart disease. A patient with this diagnosis can complicate their health care needs. Depression sometimes comes with diabetes or heart disease and oft times makes a healthy outcome nonexistent. Doctors and their staff on a team-based approach are in place to find new ways for patients to control their chronic disease and try...

Team-based health care delivery often referred to as multidisciplinary teams, improve communication between different levels of healthcare workers. According to Epstein (2014), multidisciplinary teams are responsible for improvements in patient outcomes, improved patient and employee satisfaction, and most importantly a decrease in adverse events (AE).

In 2014, Gaskin and Happell published a study to explore the way nursing researchers utilize factor analysis. The focus was on five areas of decisions that are commonly made when doing factor analysis: Sample size; choice between factor analysis and principal component analysis; numbers of factors to be retained; data extraction and method of factor rotation. In order to provide guidance and information to researchers, the authors reviewed the literature regarding the above areas of interest, assessed current and best practice for researchers and, provided recommendations...

...Team-Based Health Care Delivery Maria Reodique Grand Canyon University: HCA-515-0101 June 16, 2015 Introduction Health care has evolved and is continuously evolving. The management of care now involves different clinicians to better assess, diagnose and cure a patient. The clinicians evolved from a general practitioner to a team now comprised of Physician’s Assistant, Nurse, License Practical Nurse and Specialists. These health care professionals now compose a team of health care providers that are essential in a patient’s over all health care. The team-based approach is a delivery system that provides a patient an all-encompassing health care delivery system. “ By practicing in a team-based care model, physicians and other clinicians can care for more patients, better manage those with high-risk and high-cost needs, and improve overall quality of care and satisfaction for all involved” (Zawora, O’Leary & Bonat, 2015). Case Description A female 36-year old patient underwent an annual physical exam. The primary care physician ordered full blood panel. The result showed elevated levels of LDL and ALT (alanine aminotransferase). The gastroenterologist confirms that the patient has chronic Hepatitis B. The levels are not high enough but still needs to be watched carefully. The patient is already suffering from high blood pressure and is over weight.

...quality of service of Davis Health Care needs improvement. Research suggests that patient safety measures like hourly rounding by nursing personnel positively impacts patient fall rates, call light usage and overall patient satisfaction (Olrich et al., 2012, p. 25). Patients are likely to recover and thrive in an environment where they know that they are being acknowledged, monitored and their concerns are being addressed. Health care facilities that have instituted hourly rounding, where nursing staff (e.g. registered nurses, licensed practical/vocational nurses and nurse aides) check in on the patients and inquire of the needs of patients on an hourly basis, have been faced with barriers prior to implementation. Many of the nursing staff would reluctant toward the idea of practicing hourly rounds as this is often perceived as time-consuming strategy. However, if we institute hourly rounding at Davis Health Care, we will notice remarkable improvement in our next survey scores. The Model for Evidence-Based Practice Change by Rosswurm and Larrabee (1999) suggests that the initial step is to search for where there is a need for change in the clinical setting. Once an improvement team (consisting of unit managers, nurse researchers, quality improvement nurses, a statistician, etc.) forms, we find ways to identify an improvement goal. Unstructured brainstorming allows the team to contribute ways in which to improve the quality of services at Davis Health Care. Ideas can be written down...
