PPE Use in Healthcare Settings I: Donning

PPE Use in Healthcare Settings I: Donning

Donning PPE must be completed before contact with the patient. This process protects from infectious agents. The sequence and action included in each donning are critical, and the steps must be systematic to avoid exposure to pathogens. The institutional policy also needs to be followed while donning PPE. The pre-donning preparations are gathering equipment, inspecting the PPE equipment for tears, holes, or damage, removing jewelry, removing any garments below the elbows, and tying the hair...

Methods of Documentation III: PIE

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:

PPE Use in Healthcare Settings II: Doffing

PPE Use in Healthcare Settings II: Doffing

The sequence of removing or doffing PPE starts with the gloves, as they are the most contaminated. Next is removal of the face shield or goggles, as they would interfere with removing other PPE. Then remove the gown, followed by the mask or respirator. Perform hand hygiene between steps if hands become contaminated and immediately after removing all PPE. Generally, the outside front and sleeves of the isolation gown, the goggles or the mask, the respirator, and the face shield are contaminated.

Guidelines for Writing Outcome

Guidelines for Writing Outcome

When developing expected outcomes for a patient care plan, the nurse should adhere to the following recommendations:
Patient outcomes reflect the patient's response to the goal rather than what the nurse aims to achieve. Terminology should be observable and measurable to avoid the reader's interpretation. The desired outcome should be realistic and achievable in the designated care timeframe. Expected outcomes should align with adjunctive therapies. The outcome should enhance care evaluation by...

Standards of Care II

Standards of Care II

Nurses bear specific legal responsibilities under several federal statutes, including:

Methods of Documentation II: POMR

Methods of Documentation II: POMR

The Problem-Oriented Medical Record (POMR) revolutionized medical record-keeping by introducing a systematic approach focusing on the patient's problems rather than merely listing symptoms. Dr. Lawrence Weed's introduction of this method in the 1960s marked a significant advancement in medical documentation. The POMR framework consists of four key components: the database, problem list, plan of care, and progress notes.

Area of Science:

Healthcare Facility Management
Health Informatics
Infrastructure Assessment

Background:

The original NHS Premises Assurance Model (NHS PAM) was introduced in 2010.
The software tool assists in evaluating the condition of healthcare built estates.
It ensures premises meet quality standards for healthcare delivery.

Purpose of the Study:

To release a revised and updated version of the NHS Premises Assurance Model (NHS PAM).
To encourage wider adoption of the NHS PAM by estates and facilities managers.
To improve the identification of priority areas for healthcare premises infrastructure improvement.

Main Methods:

The Department of Health (DH) revised and updated the NHS PAM software.
The updated model was peer-reviewed and endorsed by the Institute of Healthcare Engineering and Estate Management (IHEEM).
The new version is designed to be streamlined and easier to use.

Main Results:

The original NHS PAM had an estimated 30% uptake among its potential audience.
The revised NHS PAM is expected to achieve much wider take-up.
The tool provides a nationally consistent technique for premises assurance.

Conclusions:

The updated NHS PAM offers a more accessible and user-friendly approach to assessing healthcare premises.
Enhanced usability is expected to increase the adoption rate among facilities managers.
The model supports assurance to management boards and commissioners regarding healthcare facility quality.
