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:

Methods Of Healthcare Delivery System

3.9K
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...

Role of Communication in the Nursing Process III: Evaluation and Documentation

1.9K
A successful patient outcome depends mainly on the evaluation stage of the nursing process. Evaluation determines effectiveness by reviewing what was done previously after the completion of nursing interventions. Every time a healthcare professional steps in or administers treatment, they must reassess or evaluate the action to ensure the intended result. During the evaluation phase, there are three probable patient outcomes:

Traditional Level Of Health Care System01:26

Traditional Level Of Health Care System

3.4K
The levels of care describe the services provided in the healthcare system. Accordingly, there are six levels of the traditional healthcare system in the US: preventive, primary, secondary, tertiary, restorative, and continuing healthcare. A nurse must understand how the healthcare industry organizes and provides services within these levels of care.
The preventive healthcare service includes tests for screening. Preventive health care services include identifying and reducing disease risk...

Current Trends in Nursing II01:30

Current Trends in Nursing II

2.0K
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,...

Nursing Evaluation01:15

Nursing Evaluation

4.0K
The evaluation stage signals the end of the nursing process. The nurse gathers evaluative data to assess whether or not the patient has attained the expected results. Whereas the nurse collects data in the nursing assessment to identify the patient's health concerns, the evaluation stage data determines if the indicated health issues are resolved. Evaluative data collection includes two sections: the data acquired to evaluate patient outcomes and the time criteria for data collection.

Summary

Doula care shows promise for improving maternal anxiety and breastfeeding initiation. Further research is needed to address health inequities and ensure equitable representation in studies on perinatal support.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Maternal-Infant Health
  • Health Equity

Background:

  • Maternal-infant health inequities persist in the US, disproportionately impacting American Indian/Alaska Native and Black populations.
  • Doula care offers community-based support across the perinatal continuum to improve maternal and infant outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Systematically evaluate evidence on doula care's association with maternal and infant health outcomes.
  • Identify gaps in study design, equity, and implementation of doula care.
  • Propose future directions for clinical practice, health systems research, and policy.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review of clinical and pilot trials published between 2000 and 2026.
  • Searches conducted in major databases (PubMed, PsycINFO, Web of Science, CINAHL).
  • Qualitative synthesis of data on study design, intervention characteristics, outcomes, and risk of bias.

Main Results:

  • Twenty-two articles on 21 unique interventions were included; most were randomized clinical trials.
  • Consistent evidence for improved maternal anxiety, postpartum follow-up, and breastfeeding initiation.
  • Variable evidence for outcomes like cesarean delivery; limited research on full-spectrum reproductive care and implementation.

Conclusions:

  • Doula care may enhance perinatal anxiety, healthcare utilization, and breastfeeding initiation.
  • Evidence for other outcomes is inconsistent, highlighting the need for rigorous study designs.
  • Future research should focus on equitable representation, full-spectrum care, and implementation strategies for sustainable integration.
