Traditional Level Of Health Care System

3.4K
The levels of care describe the services provided in the healthcare system. Accordingly, there are six levels of the traditional healthcare system in the US: preventive, primary, secondary, tertiary, restorative, and continuing healthcare. A nurse must understand how the healthcare industry organizes and provides services within these levels of care.
The preventive healthcare service includes tests for screening. Preventive health care services include identifying and reducing disease risk...

Physical Assessment of the Respiratory Tract I: Health History01:28

Physical Assessment of the Respiratory Tract I: Health History

906
Physical assessment of the respiratory tract is critical to patient care. It allows healthcare professionals to identify and manage various respiratory conditions. The process involves a combination of subjective and objective data collection.
Subjective Data
Subjective data provides vital information about the patient's health history and symptoms. This data is typically collected through interviews in which patients describe their experiences, symptoms, and concerns.
Health history and...

Anatomy of Respiratory System II: Lower Respiratory Tract01:31

Anatomy of Respiratory System II: Lower Respiratory Tract

3.6K
The lower respiratory tract is anatomically composed of several vital structures, including the larynx, trachea, bronchial tree, alveoli, lungs, and pleurae. Each component has a specific function, and all are intricately connected to ensure efficient respiration.
The Larynx
It is located between the pharynx and the trachea, acts as a passageway for air, and hosts several critical structures, such as the epiglottis, vocal cords, and glottis. The epiglottis acts as a gateway, guiding food to the...

Area of Science:

  • Occupational Health
  • Infectious Disease Control
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Over 18 million US healthcare workers (HCWs) face respiratory infectious exposure risks.
  • Emerging infectious diseases like Ebola and SARS highlight the need for improved respiratory protection.
  • Current practices among HCWs require enhanced knowledge and clinical competence in respiratory protection.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop, implement, and evaluate a respiratory protection educational program for HCWs and hospital management.
  • To identify key issues in current respiratory protection practices among HCWs.
  • To create strategies for integrating respiratory protection standards into healthcare settings.

Main Methods:

  • A NIOSH-funded project incorporating an educational program.
  • Direct observations of healthcare workers' (HCWs) practices.
  • Focus group discussions with HCWs and management.

Main Results:

  • Identified specific practice issues related to respiratory protection among HCWs.
  • Developed strategies for integrating respiratory protection standards and procedures.
  • Established a set of defined respiratory protection competencies for HCWs.

Conclusions:

  • Effective respiratory protection education is crucial for HCWs at risk of infectious respiratory exposure.
  • Demonstrable competencies are necessary to ensure a standard level of respiratory protection.
  • The developed competencies provide a framework for protecting workers from infectious agents.
