Continuing Care01:25

Continuing Care

Continuing care describes the variety of health, personal, and social services provided over a prolonged period. The need for continuing care is increasing because people are living longer. Many people do not have families or others to care for them. Continuing care is mainly for patients who are disabled, functionally dependent, or suffering from a terminal disease. It is available within institutional settings or in homes. Examples include nursing centers or facilities, assisted living,...
Peripheral Artery Disease III: Interprofessional Care01:27

Peripheral Artery Disease III: Interprofessional Care

Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is characterized by narrowed arteries that diminish blood flow to the extremities. Effective management of PAD requires an interprofessional approach involving various healthcare professionals. The critical aspects of interprofessional care for PAD patients focus on risk factor modification, drug therapy, exercise therapy, nutrition therapy, critical limb ischemia care, and interventional radiology and surgical procedures.The primary treatment goal for PAD...
Patient-centered Care01:13

Patient-centered Care

Patient-centered care involves delivering care beyond inpatient hospitalization. Reflective practice can enhance a patient-centered approach. Reflective practice is a process of reasoning that considers all aspects of the present situation, including practicalities, learning from personal practice, and consideration of patient needs. Patients appreciate care decisions made while considering their input. Involving the patient in their care provides the patient with a sense of contribution rather...

Methods of Documentation III: PIE

Problem-intervention-evaluation (PIE) is a systematic approach to documentation used in healthcare settings for clinical decision-making and patient care planning. It is a structured approach to organizing patient data based on problems, interventions, and evaluations. Here's a breakdown of its key features and considerations:

Area of Science:

  • Palliative Care
  • Oncology
  • Health Services Research

Background:

  • Palliative care coordination across organizations and sectors is crucial for cancer patient quality of life.
  • Standardized tools can potentially improve care integration and patient outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of implementing common assessment tools, collaborative care plans, and symptom management guidelines for cancer patients.
  • To assess the impact on symptom management, caregiver burden, satisfaction, and service utilization.

Main Methods:

  • A pre-post study design was employed with two patient and caregiver cohorts.
  • Data collection included Edmonton Symptom Assessment Scales, Caregiver Reaction Assessment, FAMCARE Scales, chart audits, and administrative data analysis.

Main Results:

  • Pain documentation increased significantly from 24.5% to 74.6% (P<0.001).
  • Emergency room visits and acute care hospital admissions decreased significantly.
  • No significant changes were observed in symptom intensity, caregiver burden, or caregiver satisfaction.

Conclusions:

  • Implementation of common palliative care tools across health sectors improved symptom documentation and care efficiencies.
  • Further research should incorporate continuous quality improvement and longer study durations to enhance patient outcomes.
