Nursing Implementation

Implementation is the execution of the nursing care plan developed during the planning phase.
The five steps to implementing effective nursing care include reassessing the patient, reviewing and revising the existing nursing care plan, organizing the resources and care delivery, anticipating and preventing complications, and implementing nursing interventions.
Methods of Documentation VI: Case Management Model01:15

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...
Integrated Healthcare System01:20

Integrated Healthcare System

An integrated healthcare system (IHS) is a set of organizations that provides for or arranges to provide coordinated and continuous service to a defined population. The IHS takes responsibility for that particular population's health status and outcome, both clinically and fiscally. An integrated healthcare system is a well-organized, well-coordinated, and collaborative network. The integrated delivery system is a network that connects different healthcare providers to deliver organized,...

Area of Science:

  • Critical Care Medicine
  • Hospital Administration
  • Nursing Resource Management

Background:

  • Increasing patient acuity and limited nursing staff necessitate critical care expertise beyond the intensive care unit (ICU).
  • Organizational needs and available resources dictate the structure and services of critical care outreach teams.
  • A 200-bed tertiary care hospital in Saskatchewan faced challenges in providing timely critical care support to general units.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the establishment of an ICU outreach team within a tertiary care hospital.
  • To demonstrate the feasibility of implementing such a team without requiring additional financial resources.
  • To assess the impact of the outreach team on patient care and nursing support.

Main Methods:

  • Formation of an ICU outreach team comprising critical care health care providers.
  • The team responded to internal hospital calls for patients with concerns or early signs of physiological distress.
  • Implementation focused on leveraging existing resources within the hospital.

Main Results:

  • Successful establishment of an ICU outreach team.
  • Improved timeliness of patient care delivery.
  • Provided a valuable resource for nurses, offering education and support on inpatient units.

Conclusions:

  • ICU outreach teams can be successfully implemented without additional resources.
  • These teams enhance patient care by extending critical care expertise to general units.
  • Outreach programs serve as a vital support and educational resource for nursing staff.
