Current Trends in Nursing II

1.2K
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,...

Methods Of Healthcare Delivery System

3.1K
At the different levels of the healthcare system, we see varying methods of healthcare used. These methods include managed care systems, case management, and primary healthcare.
Managed Care System:
The managed care system is designed to control the cost while maintaining the quality of care. The patient's care from admission to discharge is planned by the primary care provider or the case manager, also known as the gatekeeper. In a managed care system, the number of care providers is...

Patient-centered Care01:13

Patient-centered Care

1.9K
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...

Interdisciplinary Care: The Health Care Team-II

1.4K
An interdisciplinary team includes many healthcare professionals working together and utilizing their skills, knowledge, and expertise to provide holistic and quality patient care. Here are a few more healthcare professionals.
Physical Therapist
A physical therapist (PT) aims to restore function or prevent additional impairment in a patient following an injury or disease. Massage, heat, cold, water, sonar waves, exercises, and electrical stimulation are some treatments used by PTs to treat...

Tertiary Healthcare System01:21

Tertiary Healthcare System

1.7K
Specialized care provided over an extended period is called tertiary care. Usually, a primary or secondary care physician will refer a patient to tertiary care. A patient's maximum physical and mental function is restored in tertiary care, which is caused due to the impact of a chronic illness or condition. Tertiary care aims to achieve the highest level of functioning possible while managing chronic illness. For example, a patient who falls and fractures their hip will need secondary care...

Physicians
The physician's primary responsibility is to diagnose illness and direct the medical or surgical treatment of the condition. The authority to admit patients to a healthcare agency or institution and practice care within that setting is granted to physicians by the healthcare agency or institution...

Area of Science:

  • Emergency Medicine
  • Health Services Research
  • Telemedicine

Background:

  • Emergency department (ED) overcrowding significantly impacts patient care quality and increases length of stay.
  • Delayed patient dispositions are a common consequence of ED overcrowding.
  • Emergency Department Observation Units (EDOUs) offer a solution by managing patients needing further diagnostics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of virtual rounding in Emergency Department Observation Units (EDOUs).
  • To demonstrate the benefits of a hybrid model combining telemedicine and observation medicine.
  • To assess the impact of virtual rounding on ED operational flow and patient care.

Main Methods:

  • A case report of a patient presenting with abdominal pain to an ED.
  • Admission of the patient to an EDOU that utilized virtual rounding protocols.
  • Implementation of a hybrid clinical model integrating telemedicine and observation medicine.

Main Results:

  • The case report illustrates successful patient management within an EDOU using virtual rounds.
  • The hybrid model facilitated quality care delivery while improving ED operational efficiency.
  • Virtual rounding in EDOUs can help mitigate provider shortages and improve access to care.

Conclusions:

  • Virtual rounding in EDOUs is a viable strategy to address ED overcrowding.
  • The integration of telemedicine and observation medicine enhances patient care and operational flow.
  • Hybrid clinical models are effective in optimizing emergency department resource utilization.
