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,...

Assumptions of Survival Analysis

Assumptions of Survival Analysis

Survival models analyze the time until one or more events occur, such as death in biological organisms or failure in mechanical systems. These models are widely used across fields like medicine, biology, engineering, and public health to study time-to-event phenomena. To ensure accurate results, survival analysis relies on key assumptions and careful study design.

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,...

Methods of Documentation VI: Case Management Model

Methods of Documentation VI: Case Management Model

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...

Kaplan-Meier Approach

Kaplan-Meier Approach

The Kaplan-Meier estimator is a non-parametric method used to estimate the survival function from time-to-event data. In medical research, it is frequently employed to measure the proportion of patients surviving for a certain period after treatment. This estimator is fundamental in analyzing time-to-event data, making it indispensable in clinical trials, epidemiological studies, and reliability engineering. By estimating survival probabilities, researchers can evaluate treatment effectiveness,...

Summary

Cancer survivorship emerged as a key focus in oncology nursing following a 1987 presentation. This highlighted that cancer is not always fatal and that nurses can support survivors

Area of Science:

Oncology Nursing
Cancer Survivorship Research

Background:

The 12th Annual Oncology Nursing Society (ONS) Congress® in 1987 featured a pivotal session, "The Seasons of Survival."
This session challenged the perception of cancer as solely a terminal illness, introducing the concept of cancer survivorship.
It highlighted the emerging role of oncology nurses in addressing the needs of cancer survivors.

Purpose of the Study:

To document the historical context and early recognition of cancer survivorship as a distinct area of focus in oncology nursing.
To underscore the shift in perspective from cancer as a fatal diagnosis to a chronic condition requiring ongoing care.
To emphasize the crucial role of advanced practice nurses (APNs) in managing long-term survivor needs.

Main Methods:

Historical review of a significant presentation at the 1987 ONS Congress.

Keywords:

cancer care cancer survivorship oncology nursing survivorship care

Analysis of the impact of the "The Seasons of Survival" session on oncology nursing practice.

Personal reflection from an advanced practice nurse (APN) influenced by the presentation.

Main Results:

The 1987 ONS Congress session was among the earliest to propose cancer survivorship as a viable concept.
The presentation initiated a shift in thinking, suggesting that nurses could actively address survivor needs.
This led to an increased focus on the long-term needs of individuals who have survived cancer treatments.

Conclusions:

Cancer survivorship has become a recognized and priority area within oncology clinical practice.
The foundational concepts presented in 1987 have significantly influenced the evolution of cancer care.
Oncology nurses play an integral role in supporting individuals throughout their cancer survivorship journey.
