Planning Nursing Care I

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 II

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,...

Continuing Care

Continuing Care

Continuing care describes the variety of health, personal, and social services provided over a prolonged period. The need for continuing care is increasing because people are living longer. Many people do not have families or others to care for them. Continuing care is mainly for patients who are disabled, functionally dependent, or suffering from a terminal disease. It is available within institutional settings or in homes. Examples include nursing centers or facilities, assisted living,...

Nursing Implementation

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.

Documentation in Long-Term and Home Healthcare Setting

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:
Long-Term Care Facilities

Restorative Care

Restorative Care

Restorative care is provided once a patient has been discharged from a healthcare facility and requires additional services. The additional services include home care, rehabilitation programs, and extended care. Restorative care centers help the patient regain their previous level of functioning or acquire a new level of functioning due to the incapacitating effects of a disease or a disability. It aims to assist patients in enhancing their quality of life by encouraging independence,...

Background:

Formal cancer survivorship care is gaining international recognition.
Developing structured programs and care plans for cancer survivors is a priority.

Purpose of the Study:

To provide an overview of national strategies for cancer survivorship programs and care plans in the US and Europe.
To highlight variations in implementation, staffing, clinical focus, and care models.
To discuss factors influencing differences in survivorship care across countries.

Main Methods:

Review of national strategies for cancer survivorship programs and care plans.
Analysis of implementation approaches, staffing, and clinical focus.
Examination of integration into various healthcare models.
Review of research on definitions and outcomes in cancer survivorship.

Main Results:

Significant international variation exists in formalizing cancer survivorship care.
Different countries and healthcare systems employ diverse strategies for program development and implementation.
Key factors influencing these variations include healthcare system structures and policy approaches.

Conclusions:

Cancer survivorship care is inconsistently formalized across different nations and healthcare systems.
Further research is needed to standardize definitions, evaluate outcomes, and optimize survivorship care models.
Understanding and addressing implementation variations is crucial for advancing global cancer survivorship efforts.
