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.
Planning Nursing Care I01:21

Planning Nursing Care I

The planning phase of the nursing process helps nurses set priorities, outline patient-centered goals and expected outcomes, and tailor nursing interventions to align with the aligned care plan. Through the planning phase, the nurse applies critical thinking skills to align and develop interventions according to the patient's needs. It provides continuity of care allowing patients to receive the maximum benefit from treatment. It serves as a pilot plan for allocating individual staff to a...
Planning Nursing Care II01:29

Planning Nursing Care II

A nursing care plan can present in two forms: informal and formal. Informal is a care plan for the individual use of the nurse and goals they wish to accomplish during their shift. Informal care plans are not included in the patient chart. A formal nursing care plan is a written or computerized guide that organizes patient care. It is further subdivided into two: standardized and individualized care plans. Standardized care plans are pre-populated care plans for specific patient populations,...
Contingency Table01:29

Contingency Table

A contingency table provides a way of portraying data that can facilitate calculating probabilities. It is a method of displaying a frequency distribution as a table with rows and columns to show how two variables may be dependent (contingent) upon each other; The table helps determine conditional probabilities quite quickly and can help systematically organize, analyze and quantify data. The table displays sample values concerning two variables that may be dependent or contingent on one...
Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching II: Planning and Implementation01:24

Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching II: Planning and Implementation

Planning for learning involves the development of a teaching plan. Teaching plans are similar to nursing care plans—both follow the steps of the nursing process. Planning in the teaching process involves setting goals and outcomes. Here, goals identify what a patient needs to achieve to understand a healthcare topic better, whereas the outcomes are the action to be performed by the patient to achieve the goal within a timeframe. For example, if the goal is to educate the patient about insulin...
Role of Communication in the Nursing Process II: Planning and Implementation01:25

Role of Communication in the Nursing Process II: Planning and Implementation

Several factors are considered while creating a patient's care plan. Motivation is a factor in improving communication, and patients often require encouragement to try different approaches involving significant change. It is essential to involve the patient and family in decisions about the plan of care to determine whether the suggested methods are acceptable. Consider meeting critical comfort and safety needs before introducing new communication methods and techniques. Allow adequate time for...

Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Management
  • Public Health Policy
  • Emergency Preparedness

Background:

  • National and provincial blood supply systems aim to mitigate shortages, but risks remain.
  • Ontario developed a provincial plan (2008) for blood transfusion management, aligning with national strategies.
  • A regional plan was created by 16 Champlain region hospitals, supported by a provincial simulation exercise in 2010.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and test a standardized regional blood shortage management plan.
  • To ensure consistent patient care during potential blood supply disruptions.
  • To align regional strategies with provincial and national blood management plans.

Main Methods:

  • A regional blood shortage management plan was developed by a collaborative group of 16 hospitals.
  • Leadership was provided by The Ottawa Hospital's Director of Transfusion Medicine.
  • The plan underwent review and approval by the Medical Advisory Committee.

Main Results:

  • The plan incorporates phased responses (Amber, Red, Recovery, Green) based on shortage severity.
  • Includes a communication strategy for stakeholders and patients.
  • Provides inventory management and triage guidelines to conserve blood for critical needs.
  • Successfully validated through a provincial simulation exercise.

Conclusions:

  • Collaborative development of standardized regional plans is beneficial for healthcare.
  • Consistent plans ensure uniform patient care across health regions.
  • Simulation exercises are valuable for testing plans and engaging stakeholders.
