While reviewing the posts for team one discussion this week it looks like they are all agreed that standardization would have a positive within the healthcare system. Collecting data and the exchanging of health information are essential in improving patient safety and quality care. Having standardized terminology will simplify the transference of data among providers and decrease misunderstandings. I feel that only a few individuals directly mentioned how big of an impact standardization will have on overall clinical workflow. Standardization will allow clinicians to dedicate more time to patient
For example ICD-10 has expanded diagnoses codes from around 14,300 to around 69,000) and so the suggested need for a greater understanding of the logic and relationship affect between ICD-10 codes and current ICD-9-CM contracts and reimbursements means significant change to the status quo. In my experience is that change is feared or at least distrusted. So as I read the article the need for training to both reassure and build confidence seemed the key point. I think if providers can show staff system wide how use of ICD-10 codes will benefit the system and patient care, if the providers can fully integrate ICD-10 codes into the fabric of the organization then in time ICD-10 will become the familiar model to all (including insurers), just another part of daily work probably leading to that same mix of ambivalence. I think the trick is to do exactly what Padarthy suggests, to proactively and methodically integrate ICD-10 across the whole system in a measured and methodical way with due care to the impact on
Thank you for your all information. Your answer is very organized and well addressed the question. I agreed with you the Joint Commission's mission and goal now is to focus on continuously improving health care for the public by evaluating health care organizations and inspiring them to excel in providing the safest and effective care of the highest quality and value. According to the Joint Commision (JC), there are no new National Patient Safety Goals in 2015, but JC continuously determines the highest priority patient safety issues and how best to address them. For exxample, for hospital setting, the goals focus on following problems: identify patients correctly, improve staff communication, use alarms safely, prevent infection, identify
Summary: This journal article is about Common Medical Terminology Comes of Age, Part One: Standard Language Improves Healthcare Quality, which relates to my topic about the Licensure of Medicine. In order to improve healthcare quality it first, starts with the healthcare professionals giving the help. This article states the negative outcomes that a doctor does when he does not give a sufficiently detailed information to convince their patients it could alter the quality of care. Also, it talks about how here in the United States we spend an astounding amount of money on healthcare, but we are ranked very poorly on providing health insurance, infant mortality, and quality.
My charting is all done on a computer now. The financial aspect has changed also. Reimbursement for patients is closely looked at. Medicine and pediatrics are a business, and businesses need to make sure that they do not lose money. 8.
Schools regularly have many external professionals who work with them, and these can include: educational psychologists; speech and language therapists; specialist teachers; Education Welfare Officers; School Improvement Partners; and physiotherapists/occupational therapists. An educational psychologist is assigned to a school and they work closely with SENCO providing pupil observations and assessments, helping to plan the provision for those with additional needs. A school will have links with speech and language therapists who can work with pupils to help with communication, language and speech problems.
For instance, optimize cost and clinical outcomes, and for a hospital and physician to work under a cohesive structure. Now we will discuss the
Covert use of medication can be seen as dishonest as the NMC code (2015) states respect the level to which people receiving care want to be involved in decisions about their own health, wellbeing and care; the code of practice also states act with honesty and integrity at all times, treating people fairly. In contrast however, Beauchamp and Childress (2009) highlights non disclosure, limited discolour, deception or lying may be considered when veracity and the principle of autonomy is thought to conflict with other ethical obligation. Jean was given the opportunity to understand and evaluate what was being asked and was provided with all relevant information to support their decision making process.
A well-organized system will save time when a doctor is in talking with a patient because all the pertinent information will be easy and quick to find. No patient wants to sit there and wait for the doctor to find the information or ask, "why are you here again?" Being able to easily navigate the system and have things well-organized will be in the best interests of the facility, to better care for their patients.

“Electronic health information exchange (HIE) allows doctors, nurses, pharmacists, other health care providers and patients to appropriately access and securely share a patient’s vital medical information electronically—improving the speed, quality, safety and cost of patient care” (HealthIT, 2014). Health Information exchange is becoming important in the communication between providers to provide the best care possible to patients. Every state along with their hospitals has their own way of exchanging information between each other. South Carolina’s health information exchange is called “SCHIEx” (AHIMA, 2010). “SCHIEx provides a state-level information infrastructure for connecting local healthcare providers and other stakeholders” (AHIMA,
1. IOM: Nurses should be leaders and partners with physicians and health care professionals. Nurses work first hand with most of the material that is wasted in the health care setting, they would be able to identify needed changes, and be able to track progress much easier and effectively than other health care providers. 2.

It makes decision making of healthcare providers avoid readmissions, avoid medication errors, improve diagnosis, and decreases the amount of times test are reordered. There are other benefits to health information exchange
The National Care Standards lay out what all individuals should expect when using care services. They exist to ensure that service users are treated with respect and that human rights are maintained. The new National Care Standards were passed by the government in June 2017 however they will be officially put into practice from April 2018. A Care Standard sets out information on what a good care service should be like and what it should provide for the service user. The National Care Standards include dignity, privacy, choice, safety, realising potential and equality and diversity.
The Advantages of IPC to the Patient No matter how hard we may try, the importance of interprofessional collaboration in the healthcare system cannot be stressed enough. Of course, interprofessional care has a wide range of advantages in the smooth operating of a team. What is also to be taken into account, however, is the unbounded benefits from the patient’s perspective. As we all know – unfortunately many from our own experiences – the road to recovery requires not only the carefully calibrated skills and expertise of the individual but also the cooperation and constant communication of a vast team of healthcare providers. Through this complex operation come the many advantages to the patient’s treatment and overall health.
