Case Study, Chapter 1, Health Care Delivery and Evidence-Based Nursing Practice 

1. Suzanne Jones, 76-year-old patient with COPD is admitted to the ICU. Mrs. Jones is placed on mechanical ventilation to assist with her breathing. After 2 days on the ventilator, Mrs. Jones is extubated and then transferred to a medical-surgical unit. The medication regimen is adjusted during the hospitalization. Mrs. Jones is discharged home after 6 days. She and her family are pleased with the care she receive in the hospital. (Learning Objectives 3 and 6)

1. Describe the quality performance tools that may be used to demonstrate that the care and treatment rendered are both cost-efficient and of high quality. 
2. Describe the quality performance tools that may be used to demonstrate that the nursing care utilized is evidence-based care and high quality, resulting in patient satisfaction and good patient outcomes.

2. The registered nurse working in the cardiac care clinic is tasked with implementing quality improvement measures. To educate the clinic staff, the nurse plans an in-service program to introduce concepts of quality improvement and evidence-based practice. Additionally, the role of the case manager will be included in the presentation. The nurse plans on using care of the patient with Congestive Heart Failure as a template, and prepares sample clinical pathways, care maps, and multidisciplinary action plans. (Learning Objective 3)

1. Describe how clinical pathways are used to coordinate care of caseloads of patients.
2. What is the role of the case manager in evaluating a patient’s progress?
3. What are examples of evidence-based practice tools used for planning patient care?

Judge the medical case studied. In the video, philosophers applied the three major ethical principles you learned: Kant’s Categorical Imperative, Utilitarianism, and Virtue Ethics. apply ONE ethical theory to decide the moral course of action in the medical case of the premature twins studied. Apply the ethical theory in each to support your arguments throughout the entire task. Not using the ethical theory,  not using more than one ethical theory.

In the past, a collaboration between doctors, nurses, and other healthcare practitioners was not the norm. Interprofessional collaboration has the potential to reduce medical errors, improve care quality, and satisfy the requirements of a wide range of people. According to the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, health care professionals must collaborate with providers from other fields to share information, conduct quality and safety checks, and assist patients in understanding and adhering to treatment regimens. Research has long suggested that collaboration across health care professions improves coordination, communication and, ultimately, the quality and safety of patient care. There is growing evidence that assigning teams of doctors to coordinate care can assist patient-centred, higher-quality care to an increasingly diverse patient group, as well as can reduce medical errors and enhance quality (Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, 2011). Educating doctors, nurses, and other health professionals together can help to increase interprofessional collaboration.

Interprofessional collaboration in healthcare serves to lower healthcare costs by preventing prescription errors, improving the patient experience, and delivering improved patient outcomes (Tiger Connect, 2020). It also helps hospitals save money by shoring up workflow redundancies and operational inefficiencies. According to a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation study of 20 hospitals, by improving the interprofessional collaboration model between its nurses and physicians, one hospital cut its fall rate in half, decreased average length-of-stay by 0.6 days, increased annualized bed turn by 20%, and increased discharges before noon by 20%. At another hospital in the study, interprofessional collaboration significantly improved surgical start times and prevented delays that led to 700 wasted hours over the previous four years (Tiger Connect, 2020). Tiger text is an example of a current trend that has altered the way interprofessional teams interact. Tiger Connects’ encrypted messaging tool improves healthcare teamwork and communication, saving time, money, and, most importantly, lives.
