Current Trends in Nursing II

1.4K
Trends in nursing are multifactorial and associated with changes in society, within the nursing profession, and in other professions. Notably, telehealth and remote nursing contribute to successful healthcare delivery for numerous patients and help reduce stress for nurses due to nursing shortages. Nurses can reach patients, monitor their conditions, and interact with them using computers, audio, visual accessories, and telephones—for example, remote patient monitoring systems. Likewise,...

Issues And Trends In Healthcare Delivery System

5.9K
The issues and trends in healthcare delivery are constantly changing. The COVID-19 pandemic is one recent issue that wreaked havoc on healthcare systems, causing a shortage of healthcare workers, high demand for medicines and supplies, and increased medical expenditure due to a lack of insurance. Other issues include rising healthcare costs and care fragmentation.

The Availability Heuristic01:08

The Availability Heuristic

6.6K
A heuristic is a general problem-solving framework (Tversky & Kahneman, 1974). You can think of these as mental shortcuts that are used to solve problems. Different types of heuristics are used in different types of situations, and the impulse to use a heuristic occurs when one of five conditions is met (Pratkanis, 1989):

Levels of Use of a GIS01:29

Levels of Use of a GIS

111
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) operate across three levels of application, each representing an increasing degree of complexity: data management, analysis, and prediction. These levels reflect the expanding functionality and versatility of GIS technology in handling spatial data for diverse purposes.Data ManagementAt its foundational level, GIS serves as a tool for data management, enabling the input, storage, retrieval, and organization of spatial data. This level is often employed in...

Social Loafing01:37

Social Loafing

36.4K
Another way in which a group presence can affect performance is social loafing—the exertion of less effort by a person working together with a group. Social loafing occurs when our individual performance cannot be evaluated separately from the group. Thus, group performance declines on easy tasks (Karau & Williams, 1993). Essentially individual group members loaf and let other group members pick up the slack. Because each individual’s efforts cannot be evaluated,...

Area of Science:

  • Health Policy
  • Medical Technology Adoption
  • Surgical Innovation

Background:

  • Physicians' decisions to adopt or abandon medical technologies are complex.
  • Understanding factors influencing these decisions is crucial for effective healthcare policy.
  • Negative information shocks, such as safety warnings, can trigger technology reassessment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the role of relative task-specific skill in physicians' technology abandonment decisions.
  • To analyze how physicians adjust their procedural mix following negative information about medical technology.
  • To examine the impact of physician skill on practice variation after regulatory interventions.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of physician procedural data before and after an FDA safety warning.
  • Comparison of technology abandonment rates based on physicians' relative skill levels.
  • Utilizing a theoretical model to predict and explain observed physician behavior.

Main Results:

  • Physicians shifted from minimally invasive to open hysterectomies after an FDA safety warning.
  • This shift was less pronounced among physicians with higher relative skill in minimally invasive procedures.
  • The FDA intervention led to increased practice variation, particularly among physicians with differing relative skill levels.

Conclusions:

  • Relative task-specific skill is a key determinant of physician technology abandonment.
  • Physician expertise influences responses to negative information, impacting healthcare practice.
  • Regulatory actions can exacerbate practice variation based on physician skill.
