Nursing organizations play a vital role in representing nurses working in specialized clinical settings, such as the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses (AACN).
The AACN emphasizes a healthy work environment through six standards to achieve an optimal patient outcome. The standards are appropriate staffing, meaningful recognition, collaboration, authentic leadership, effective communication, and decision-making. In addition, AACN provides certification programs, webinars, journals, and...

Nursing Evaluation

4.1K
The evaluation stage signals the end of the nursing process. The nurse gathers evaluative data to assess whether or not the patient has attained the expected results. Whereas the nurse collects data in the nursing assessment to identify the patient's health concerns, the evaluation stage data determines if the indicated health issues are resolved. Evaluative data collection includes two sections: the data acquired to evaluate patient outcomes and the time criteria for data collection.

Nursing organizations assume a significant role in consistently developing the nursing profession through education, research studies, establishing practice standards, and reforming health policies. Typically, nursing organizations operate at the regional, national, and international levels. For example, the International Council of Nurses (ICN) represents more than 28 million nurses worldwide. In contrast, the American Nurses Association (ANA) is a membership organization representing nurses...

Rural Health Centers
Rural health centers are specialized care facilities in remote locations with very few medical personnel. The primary care providers who run the centers are mostly Registered Nurse Practitioners. Here, emergency treatment is provided to critically ill or injured patients before they are transferred to the closest hospital. Fortunately, due to advancement in technology, many rural healthcare facilities and professionals have easy access to diagnostic and treatment...

Restorative Care01:19

Restorative Care

2.3K
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,...

Area of Science:

  • Healthcare analytics
  • Comparative effectiveness research
  • Health services research

Background:

  • Publicly reported performance data for healthcare facilities is increasing.
  • Fair comparisons require grouping similar facilities (peers).
  • Existing peer grouping methods for hospitals need adaptation for nursing homes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Adapt a hospital peer grouping methodology for nursing homes.
  • Explore characteristics of "nearest-neighbor" peer groupings.
  • Evaluate the suitability of the nearest-neighbor approach for nursing home comparisons.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized Department of Veterans Affairs administrative databases.
  • Analyzed nursing home facility characteristics.
  • Applied nearest-neighbor methodology calculating Euclidean distance between facilities based on characteristics.
  • Compared nearest-neighbor groups with those from classical cluster analysis.

Main Results:

  • Key facility characteristics for nursing home peer grouping differ from hospitals.
  • Nearest-neighbor groups are not mutually exclusive.
  • Nearest-neighbor methodology produced less diffuse nursing home peer groupings than traditional cluster analysis.

Conclusions:

  • Fair facility comparison is crucial for healthcare policy and administration.
  • The nearest-neighbor methodology is successfully adapted for nursing home peer grouping.
  • This approach has potential application in other clinical settings, like primary care.
