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...

Methods of Documentation VI: Case Management Model

1.0K
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...

Planning Nursing Care I

6.4K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Infectious Diseases
  • Hospital Administration
  • Antimicrobial Stewardship

Background:

  • Early switch (ES) from intravenous (IV) to oral antibiotic therapy is a key component of antimicrobial stewardship.
  • Highly bioavailable oral antibiotics are safe and effective for most non-critically ill patients.
  • Combining ES with early discharge (ED) plans maximizes benefits.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the benefits of combining early switch (ES) from IV to oral antibiotics with early discharge (ED) plans.
  • To identify barriers hindering the implementation of ES and ED programs.
  • To emphasize the need for developing and documenting the success of these programs.

Main Methods:

  • Review of published studies on ES and ED programs.
  • Analysis of benefits including patient comfort, reduced adverse events, and cost savings.
  • Identification of implementation barriers such as clinician misconceptions and lack of awareness.

Main Results:

  • ES and ED programs lead to decreased healthcare resource use and costs.
  • Combined ES and ED improves patient comfort, reduces IV-line complications, and shortens hospital stays.
  • Significant barriers to implementation include clinician misconceptions and organizational factors.

Conclusions:

  • Combining early switch (ES) from IV to oral antibiotics with early discharge (ED) is a cost-effective stewardship strategy.
  • Addressing barriers like clinician misconceptions and lack of awareness is crucial for maximizing program effectiveness.
  • Healthcare facilities must develop and document the success of ES and ED programs as mandated by national initiatives.
