Planning Nursing Care I01:21

Planning Nursing Care I

4.4K
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...

Restorative Care01:19

Restorative Care

1.9K
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,...

Patient-centered Care01:13

Patient-centered Care

2.0K
Patient-centered care involves delivering care beyond inpatient hospitalization. Reflective practice can enhance a patient-centered approach. Reflective practice is a process of reasoning that considers all aspects of the present situation, including practicalities, learning from personal practice, and consideration of patient needs. Patients appreciate care decisions made while considering their input. Involving the patient in their care provides the patient with a sense of contribution rather...

Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Management
  • Patient Outcomes Research
  • Quality Improvement

Background:

  • Post-acute care (PAC) centers are crucial for patient recovery and rehabilitation.
  • Medicare reforms in the 1990s increased PAC utilization and length of stay.
  • National initiatives focus on improving safe discharge rates to home, linked to better patient outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the impact of multidisciplinary interventions on home discharge rates at a single institution.
  • To reduce hospital readmissions, length of stay, morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective single-institution cohort study at Jersey Shore University Medical Center (JSUMC).
  • Data collected from January 2015-December 2019 (pre-intervention) and January 2020-January 2024 (intervention).
  • Interventions included physician/patient education, EMR initiatives, accountability, and daily mobility programs.

Main Results:

  • Home discharge rate increased from 74.9% to 80.2% across all patients (p < 0.001).
  • Faculty-managed patients saw a significant rise from 73.6% to 84.4%.
  • Hospitalists and other specialists also showed improved home discharge rates.

Conclusions:

  • Multifaceted interventions significantly boosted home discharge rates.
  • The approach was cost-effective, reducing healthcare costs and patient length of stay.
  • Further research is needed on readmission rates and mortality.
