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,...

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...

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...

Documentation in Long-Term and Home Healthcare Setting

Documentation in long-term care facilities and home healthcare settings is crucial for ensuring continuous, coordinated, and comprehensive care for patients. Each setting has its specific documentation processes and tools:

Interdisciplinary Care: The Health Care Team-I01:21

Interdisciplinary Care: The Health Care Team-I

An interdisciplinary team includes many healthcare professionals working together and utilizing their skills, knowledge, and expertise to provide holistic and quality patient care.
Physicians
The physician's primary responsibility is to diagnose illness and direct the medical or surgical treatment of the condition. The authority to admit patients to a healthcare agency or institution and practice care within that setting is granted to physicians by the healthcare agency or institution itself.

Area of Science:

  • Health workforce planning
  • Healthcare management
  • Health economics

Background:

  • Alberta faces significant challenges in balancing health worker supply and demand.
  • Alberta Health Services, as the province-wide provider, requires robust forecasting tools.
  • Initial focus is on modeling Registered Nurses, Licensed Practical Nurses, and health care aides.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a health workforce forecasting model for Alberta.
  • To inform strategic decisions on key workforce parameters.
  • To highlight the impact of different assumptions and policy choices.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a workforce planning model.
  • Testing various assumptions (e.g., vacancy rates, retirement).
  • Evaluating different policy choices (e.g., educational intake, workforce composition).
  • Utilizing the model in a consultation process to develop six policy scenarios.

Main Results:

  • Model outputs identified issues with current workforce strategies.
  • Demonstrated the significant impact of key policy choices on workforce parameters.
  • Highlighted the need for adaptable planning tools.

Conclusions:

  • Effective workforce planning requires models with transparent assumptions.
  • Models must allow for sensitivity analysis of assumptions.
  • The impact of policy choices on workforce parameters needs to be assessable.
