Issues And Trends In Healthcare Delivery System01:29

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...
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...
Nursing Implementation01:15

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.

Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Management
  • Nursing Informatics
  • Health Services Research

Background:

  • A significant shortage of registered nurses is projected to severely impact healthcare delivery within 3-5 years.
  • Increased demand for nursing care and decreased nurse retention in acute-care settings exacerbate the crisis.
  • The nursing workforce is facing unprecedented challenges impacting patient care quality and access.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify workflow inefficiencies in hospital settings that can be mitigated by technology.
  • To explore the potential of technology to improve nurse retention and patient care delivery.
  • To provide evidence-based recommendations for technology deployment in nursing.

Main Methods:

  • The Technology Drill Down process was developed and tested by the American Academy of Nursing Workforce Commission.
  • The study involved over 200 medical-surgical patient care units.
  • Workflow inefficiencies were analyzed to determine technology-based solutions.

Main Results:

  • The Technology Drill Down process successfully identified key workflow inefficiencies.
  • Findings highlight the need for smart, portable, and interoperable point-of-care technology solutions.
  • Nurses perceive technology as a means to reduce waste and enhance efficiency.

Conclusions:

  • Technology offers a viable solution to address workflow inefficiencies and improve nursing practice.
  • Interoperable, point-of-care technologies are crucial for enhancing patient care delivery.
  • Investing in appropriate technologies can support nurses in providing safe, reliable, and high-quality care.
