Other healthcare organizations can use Sharp HealthCare’s approach to motivation to help with employee motivational problems, however, there are some important barriers and facilitators to using the Sharp approach. As mentioned by Burns, Bradley, & Weiner (2011, p. 107), “a major problem for all healthcare organizations is to avoid employee motivation problems and to remedy such problems if they occur.” It is no easy task to keep all employees within an organization happy all of the time, but it

It has come to my concern that the Oak Hills school is considering lifting the strict no cell phone policy at school. Many people say that cell phones can be used as a teaching tool and that students need to use them correctly. I think cell phones should be banned from school because not all the students have cell phones, they can be used inappropriately, and they are negatively affecting student’s grades. Not every one of the students at Oak Hills have cell phones. In fact, several students at Oak
Healthcare waste management General In the process of healthcare, waste is generated. It usually includes sharps, human tissues or body parts and other infectious materials. The amount of laboratory wastes in hospitals is being generated due to the use of more disposable products (Baveja et al 2000). The waste produced in the course of healthcare activities carries a high potential for infection and injury than any other waste. The work environment can be polluted, and consequently healthcare personnel
Healthcare Associated Infections Healthcare-associated infections affect a large proportion of the population due to technological, staffing, and organizational challenges that undermine the quality of care for citizens. According to Lorden et al. (2017), over 3.5 million of all hospital admissions in 2010 were preventable. Most of them are linked to hospital associated infections (HAIs) obtained from healthcare settings. In particular, catheter associated infections of the urinary tract are the
needle-stick incident compared to other healthcare workers. In fact, nurses tend to be exposed 4.27 times more often than physicians. A study in Pakistan revealed that in addition to very high rates of NSIs, low safety practices including inadequate vaccination coverage, unavailability of infection control guidelines and other preventive facilities were reported. Other studies found that injuries from contaminated needles and other sharp devices used in healthcare settings have been associated with transmission
Innovation and change have become critical components of nursing care, because healthcare is rapidly transforming. Nurse practitioners are expected to play leading roles in innovating, as well as participate effectively improving practice and patient outcomes for various populations. Thus, they need to be well trained, knowledgeable and prepared as change agents in order to meet the expectations and challenges of healthcare now and in future (Hain & Fleck, 2014). Particularly, advanced practice registered
Support has been defined as a “process for enhancing health-related decisions and actions with pertinent, organized clinical knowledge and patient information to improve healthcare, as well as, healthcare delivery (Campbell & CPHIMS, 2013).

Gatekeeping in terms of the healthcare sector has been debated throughout the years on whether the process has resulted in the contribution to the improvement of healthcare of a population. The term, gatekeeping is defined as the general public having to go through ‘doors’ in the health care system. This means that referral is required from primary care sectors such as General Practitioners (GP) being the first point of contact, in order to have authorised access to receive secondary and/or tertiary

Healthcare disparities come in many different shapes, sizes, and forms. One health care disparity is the geography of where care is provided. Many seem to miss this aspect and it should be taken seriously on the account of where healthcare can be delivered to. I currently go serve in the Navajo Nation tribe in Arizona, Pine Springs for a church missionary to evangelize the gospel for the past two years. Within every visit, I witness the circumstances the Native American people live in, where poverty-smitten
Bodenheimer and Grumbach (2009) express that all healthcare systems strive to ensure patients receive the health care they require in a suitable place and time. However, they may all accomplish this through different methods to one another. Two distinct formats a country may operate under is the Regionalized Model and the Dispersed Model (Bodenheimer & Grumbach, 2009). The Regionalized Model is a structured system where the primary, secondary and tertiary levels of care are discrete, and primary
Physicians carry significant weight in the tort reform debate because they are "the most respected and visible representatives" of the healthcare industry-an industry with "inconsistent positions" on tort reform. (Davis, 2007) Physicians tend to be quite vocal in support of tort reform, often arguing that high malpractice insurance rates are due to the tort system. If a link existed, this
poor distribution of resources, and political instability that make it extremely difficult to deliver high-quality health care to the population (Ezeh, 2015). Such challenges are a reflection of one of the major shortcomings that exist within the healthcare system, which is nursing leadership. Ezeh (2015), and World Health Organisation (WHO, 2015), revealed that most researchers viewed the African health system as fragile and weak. This is evident from the African health leaders’ lack of autonomy and
among the professionals of different healthcare departments and among other professional departments is getting more common. It is becoming essential that healthcare providers should work with the professionals of other health disciplines in order to improve health facilities and educate the clients. (Pecukonis, 2008). Along with the benefits and positive features of inter-professional collaboration there are some challenges too that may hinder the work, and healthcare institutions are looking forward
