Current Trends in Nursing II

Current Trends in Nursing II

Trends in nursing are multifactorial and associated with changes in society, within the nursing profession, and in other professions. Notably, telehealth and remote nursing contribute to successful healthcare delivery for numerous patients and help reduce stress for nurses due to nursing shortages. Nurses can reach patients, monitor their conditions, and interact with them using computers, audio, visual accessories, and telephones—for example, remote patient monitoring systems. Likewise,...

Hospitals-I

Hospitals offer medical and surgical care to the sick and injured, along with accommodation while they recover. At the same time, they also provide outpatient, emergency, psychiatric, and rehabilitation services to meet various community needs. In addition to providing medical care, hospitals also act as hubs for medical research and training. Hospitals use clinical procedures and evidence-based practice standards to deliver patient care. To deliver safe and efficient care, a nurse must stay up...

Issues And Trends In Healthcare Delivery System

Issues And Trends In Healthcare Delivery System

The issues and trends in healthcare delivery are constantly changing. The COVID-19 pandemic is one recent issue that wreaked havoc on healthcare systems, causing a shortage of healthcare workers, high demand for medicines and supplies, and increased medical expenditure due to a lack of insurance. Other issues include rising healthcare costs and care fragmentation.
Cost Containment
Payment for healthcare services has historically promoted adoption of costly and often unnecessary or inefficient...

Hospitals-II

Hospitals-II

Hospitals provide inpatient and outpatient services. Inpatient services provide care to patients that stay in the hospital for an extended period, ranging from days to months. Examples of inpatient services include intensive care units, hospital wards, or surgeries. Outpatient services provide care to patients who come to a hospital for a diagnostic or treatment but do not stay overnight —for example, diagnostic tests, surgical procedures, or health education.
Nurses that work in hospitals have...

Methods of Documentation VI: Case Management Model

Methods of Documentation VI: Case Management Model

The case management model is a multidisciplinary approach that involves healthcare professionals from diverse disciplines, such as physicians, nurses, therapists, social workers, and pharmacists, working collaboratively to address the various needs of patients. Each healthcare professional brings unique expertise and perspectives, contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of the patient's condition and tailoring treatment plans accordingly.
For example, a patient with a chronic illness...

Ethical Issues

Ethical Issues

Nurses are essential in patient care, upholding the ethical principles of their profession and effectively navigating ethical dilemmas. Neglecting ethical issues can lead to inadequate patient care, compromised therapeutic relationships, and moral distress among healthcare workers.

Area of Science:

Healthcare Management
Internal Medicine
Medical Practice Models

Background:

The hospitalist model, a recent development in healthcare, involves physicians specializing in inpatient care.
This model is rapidly expanding, with a significant projected increase in the number of practicing hospitalists.
Hospitalists manage inpatients, accepting patient hand-offs from primary care providers and returning them at discharge.

Purpose of the Study:

To review the emerging literature on the impact of hospitalists.
To trace the evolution and nature of the hospitalist movement.
To evaluate the empirical evidence regarding hospitalists' effects on costs, clinical outcomes, patient satisfaction, and education.

Main Methods:

Systematic review of the positivist literature on hospitalists.
Analysis of empirical evidence concerning hospitalist practice.
Appraisal of the novelty of the hospitalist model.

Main Results:

Evidence suggests positive impacts of hospitalists on healthcare costs.
Clinical outcomes and medical education show non-negative effects.
Evidence regarding patient satisfaction and continuity of care remains inconclusive.
The hospitalist model's novelty is appraised within the existing literature.

Conclusions:

The hospitalist model demonstrates benefits in cost and clinical outcomes.
Further longitudinal research is essential to assess long-term viability and impact.
Key areas for future research include the mechanisms of benefit, effects on continuity of care, and the doctor-patient relationship.
