Methods of Documentation VII: EMR01:30

Methods of Documentation VII: EMR

824
Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) primarily center around electronically documenting patients' health information within a single healthcare organization or practice. They contain essential clinical data related to a patient's medical history, diagnoses, medications, treatment plans, lab results, and other pertinent information relevant to the specific encounter or episode of care. EMRs are designed to streamline documentation and workflow processes within individual healthcare...

Endoscopic Procedures III: Video Capsule Endoscopy

75
Capsule endoscopy, or wireless or video capsule endoscopy, is a diagnostic procedure for examining the entire gastrointestinal tract. Patients swallow a capsule about the size of a vitamin tablet. The capsule is equipped with a transmitter, a battery, an LED light source, and a color video camera to capture images throughout the gastrointestinal tract. This procedure is particularly useful for diagnosing conditions such as Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, tumors, polyps, ulcers,...

Endoscopic Procedures V: ERCP

79
Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a diagnostic procedure that combines endoscopy and fluoroscopy to diagnose and treat conditions related to the bile ducts, pancreatic ducts, and gallbladder. This procedure is beneficial for identifying and addressing blockages, gallstones, strictures, and tumors within the biliary or pancreatic systems. ERCP is both diagnostic and therapeutic, offering the ability to visualize and treat identified problems in one session.

PPE Use in Healthcare Settings I: Donning01:22

PPE Use in Healthcare Settings I: Donning

920
Donning PPE must be completed before contact with the patient. This process protects from infectious agents. The sequence and action included in each donning are critical, and the steps must be systematic to avoid exposure to pathogens. The institutional policy also needs to be followed while donning PPE. The pre-donning preparations are gathering equipment, inspecting the PPE equipment for tears, holes, or damage, removing jewelry, removing any garments below the elbows, and tying the hair...

Nursing Implementation01:15

Nursing Implementation

4.9K
Implementation is the execution of the nursing care plan developed during the planning phase.
The five steps to implementing effective nursing care include reassessing the patient, reviewing and revising the existing nursing care plan, organizing the resources and care delivery, anticipating and preventing complications, and implementing nursing interventions.

Area of Science:

  • Emergency Medicine
  • Health Services Research
  • Telehealth Innovation

Background:

  • New care models, such as virtual observation units (VOUs), are emerging in emergency departments (EDs).
  • VOUs utilize telehealth, remote monitoring, and mobile integrated health for home-based ED-level care.
  • Understanding physician experiences is crucial for evaluating these novel care delivery systems.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore emergency physicians' experiences with a newly launched virtual observation unit.
  • To assess the perceived effects of this home-based, ED-level care model on physicians and patient care.

Main Methods:

  • Semistructured in-depth interviews were conducted with 10 emergency physicians.
  • Thematic analysis was employed to identify key themes in physician experiences.
  • The study was conducted in an academic hospital setting with a newly implemented VOU.

Main Results:

  • Physicians reported forming deeper patient connections due to increased time and home environment care.
  • An increased appreciation for interprofessional and interspecialty collaboration was noted.
  • Surmountable challenges included technology management and patient selection, but overall experiences positively impacted patient-physician interactions and job satisfaction.

Conclusions:

  • Emergency physicians experienced largely positive outcomes staffing the virtual observation unit.
  • The VOU model demonstrated benefits for physician well-being and fostered interprofessional care.
  • Policymakers and administrators should consider these benefits when funding telehealth and innovative care models.
