Planning Nursing Care I01:21

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...

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,...

Effective communication among healthcare professionals during hand-off reporting is essential to delivering safe and continuous patient care. Common professional interactions include reports to healthcare team members, hand-off, and transfer reports. Nurses routinely report information to other healthcare team members and also urgently contact healthcare providers to report changes in patient status.
Standardized methods of communication have been developed to ensure that information is...

Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Management
  • Patient Safety
  • Clinical Communication

Background:

  • Effective patient handover is crucial for continuity of care.
  • Inadequate documentation of escalation plans poses risks during patient deterioration, especially on weekends.
  • Current handover processes often lack sufficient detail regarding patient escalation strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the existing patient handover process in a district general hospital.
  • To improve the documentation of patient escalation plans within medical records.
  • To enhance patient safety and reduce the burden on on-call healthcare teams.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of handover systems and medical notes.
  • Implementation of a physical handover meeting and a Friday ward round proforma on three pilot wards.
  • Data collection on the documentation rates of escalation plans before and after interventions.

Main Results:

  • Initial documentation of escalation plans was significantly low at 9.1%.
  • Following the implementation of new measures, documentation rates improved to 41.1%.
  • Positive feedback was received from junior doctors and other healthcare staff regarding the interventions.

Conclusions:

  • A combined approach of physical handover meetings and structured ward round proformas effectively enhances the documentation of patient escalation plans.
  • These improvements contribute to better patient safety, informed decision-making involving patients and families, and reduced workload for weekend on-call teams.
  • The successful pilot interventions are planned for Trust-wide implementation.
