Ms. Conley is a sixty-two-year old African American female with a history of Schizophrenia. She was referred for Mental Health Skilling Services by the case manager at Tuckers Psychiatric Hospital after she had been hospitalized for twenty-two days at the hospital due to her acute psychotic symptoms. Prior to Ms. Conley’s most recent hospitalization she was living independently in her own home where she was struggling with being able to recognize personal danger as evidenced by her placing unsafe items in the electric shock (at least once a month); noncompliance of medication treatment (daily); delusions that individuals are plotting against her (daily) which results in her acting out in an aggression manner; and spending a disproportionate amount
Implementation will need to increase by medical staff to decrease disadvantages
It It f It frustrates me what Dr. Anna Pou had to go through with the lawsuits of the Memorial Medical Center incident. As Healthcare professionals, being sued for making the rightful decision for the patient and the hospital is unjust. Healthcare professionals like Dr. Pou, have taken the Hippocratic oath, and one of the promises made within that oath is “first, do no harm”. Hospital’s should not be so quick to make such an important decision of pressing charges to their faculty; more trust should be placed in them. In addition, she made it clear her intentions were just to ‘‘help’’ patients ‘‘through their pain,’’ on national television.
The lower number of patients is the ideal, because the physician builds a rapport with the clients. If the practice
When hospitals first appeared these facilities were only for the ill and the poor, these institutions were used to store human beings to keep them away from the rest of the population especially during times of epidemics of typhoid and cholera. The middle class never came to these facilities to receive their health care they had the luxury of staying in the comfort of their own homes. Not until the early 1900s when the standards of medical practice took a scientific approach to caring for patients did the ideal change of a hospital taking care of all patients not just the poor ones (Williams & Torrens, 2008). Acute care is one of the levels of care within a hospital this is when a patient is treated for an illness, trauma or disease for a short period of time which could have resulted from injuries or needing to recover after surgery. This type of care in general is administered to the patient in a facility by a wide variety of clinical personnel using pharmaceuticals,
Some advantages that might be able to help our particular issue is to offer more incentives to providers and health care workers to help improve the continuity of care. We can put into practice fee-for service for the healthcare providers so that they don’t have to worry about the possibility of not getting paid. Fee- for service model of healthcare reimbursement on its head, causing providers to change the way they bill for care. Instead of being paid by the number of visits and tests they order (fee-for-service), providers’ payments are now based on the value of care they deliver (value-based care) (Health
You have to be prepared to deal with losses. But in an outpatient practice your experience with patients isn't as concentrated as it is in a hospital. You see your patients once a week, once a month or twice a
Depending on which approach is being used the cost for bed/day, medical treatment and nursing care can be higher and lower. With this new
Another efficient advantage is due to the fact that on average primary level health care are less expensive compared to secondary and tertiary health care such as specialists. This means that due to gatekeeping, patients that don’t require specialist (secondary health care) do not get to see them, reducing in cost majorly. For example, a study that was conducted in 2014 found that since Austria is not subjected to gatekeeping, patients in Austria tend to seek specialist 4 times more compared to countries that are subjected to gatekeeping (Laura, 2015). This means that cost is higher due to higher over-utilization of
Acute Care- It is an illness that needs an immediate care. Laboratories exams are essential for the patient diagnostic. Depending on the patient’s severity, he/she will be frequently monitored by an experienced nurse. For example, if a patient’s is attended at the hospital after a car accident and the medical staff realizes that the patient has lost conscious and is bleeding severely. This is a situation where an immediate care is obligatory.
Not only did this unique system speed up service, it made it unlikely that mildly ill patients would be upset by the unnecessary proximity of other patients who might be suffering agonies, and it guaranteed
