Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Second in a series of publications from the Institute of Medicine's Quality of Health Care in America project Today's health care providers have more research findings and more technology available to them than ever before. Yet recent reports have raised serious doubts about the quality of health care in America. Crossing the Quality Chasm makes an urgent call for fundamental change to close the quality gap. This book recommends a sweeping redesign of the American health care system and provides overarching principles for specific direction for policymakers, health care leaders, clinicians, regulators, purchasers, and others. In this comprehensive volume the committee offers: A set of performance expectations for the 21st century health care system. A set of 10 new rules to guide patient-clinician relationships. A suggested organizing framework to better align the incentives inherent in payment and accountability with improvements in quality. Key steps to promote evidence-based practice and strengthen clinical information systems. Analyzing health care organizations as complex systems, Crossing the Quality Chasm also documents the causes of the quality gap, identifies current practices that impede quality care, and explores how systems approaches can be used to implement change.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Future of Nursing explores how nurses' roles, responsibilities, and education should change significantly to meet the increased demand for care that will be created by health care reform and to advance improvements in America's increasingly complex health system. At more than 3 million in number, nurses make up the single largest segment of the health care work force. They also spend the greatest amount of time in delivering patient care as a profession. Nurses therefore have valuable insights and unique abilities to contribute as partners with other health care professionals in improving the quality and safety of care as envisioned in the Affordable Care Act (ACA) enacted this year. Nurses should be fully engaged with other health professionals and assume leadership roles in redesigning care in the United States. To ensure its members are well-prepared, the profession should institute residency training for nurses, increase the percentage of nurses who attain a bachelor's degree to 80 percent by 2020, and double the number who pursue doctorates. Furthermore, regulatory and institutional obstacles-including limits on nurses' scope of practice-should be removed so that the health system can reap the full benefit of nurses' training, skills, and knowledge in patient care. In this book, the Institute of Medicine makes recommendations for an action-oriented blueprint for the future of nursing.
Download or read book NURSING STAFF PARTICIPATION IN END OF LIFE NUTRITION AND HYDRATION DECISION MAKING PROCESSES IN A RURAL NURSING HOME written by Gina Cahoon Firnhaber and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Director of Dissertation: Donna W. Roberson, PhD, RN, FNP-C Major Department: College of Nursing Decreased or absent oral intake, common among nursing home residents nearing the end of life, often triggers decision making regarding the course of care. Residents, family members, and medical providers hold final responsibility for decisions in these situations, yet the consistent presence of nursing staff places them in a unique position to influence and support decision making processes. Despite this potential, the participation of nursing staff in these decisions is minimally described in current literature. The purpose of this focused ethnographic study was to better understand the participation of nursing staff members, inclusive of Registered Nurses, Licensed Practical Nurses, and Nursing Assistants, in end of life nutrition and hydration decision making processes in a rural nursing home. Semi-structured interviews with 19 nursing staff members, field observations during interviews, and review of relevant documents were used to collect data from a single nursing home in a rural region of North Carolina. An adaptation of Bryon, Gastmans, and de Casterlé's striving for 'good care' framework served as the conceptual framework informing this study. The inductive approaches described by Mason, and by Roper and Shapira, were used to guide data analysis. Nursing staff participation in end of life nutrition and hydration decision making processes in this rural nursing home was closely aligned with type of decision and participant role, of Nursing Assistant, Licensed Practical Nurse, or Registered Nurse, and influenced by a variety of other factors at both individual and group levels. Three primary themes were identified: Formal Decision Making (with subthemes of communicating resident issues, initiating and coordinating decision processes, assuring regulatory compliance, and influencing); Informal Decision Making, (with subthemes of knowing residents and families, instituting feeding interventions not requiring formal medical orders, respecting and honoring, and guiding the resident and family) and Influential Factors (with subthemes of personal experiences/beliefs, unpredictable trajectory, relationship with resident/family, and organizational culture). Findings suggest nursing staff in this facility participate in nutrition and hydration decision making processes to a greater extent than even they realize, especially informal decision making, in their efforts to comfort and provide good care to residents nearing end of life. Factors identified as hindering their efforts include limited awareness of current evidence and best practices, delays in formal decision making, and lack of professional role clarity, especially among LPNs. Comfort with coworkers and supervisors, positive past experiences, and established relationships with residents and family members were identified as supporting participation. This study contributes to the understanding of nursing staff participation in nutrition and hydration decision making processes for residents nearing end of life in rural nursing homes. Further research in other facilities, integration of findings into interventions to support evidence based best practices, and critical evaluation of the relationship between formal decision making and policy implementation are suggested.
