  • Evaluation of Quality in Health Care for DNPs, 3rd Edition Go to book: Evaluation of Quality in Health Care for DNPs

    Evaluation of Quality in Health Care for DNPs, 3rd Edition

    Book

    This book provides a high-quality resource on evaluation for nurses. It addresses the special needs of Doctorate of Nursing Practice nurses to understand the principles of conducting large scale evaluations, and translating those principles into developing smaller projects, such as unit-based projects or projects required in DNP degree programs. Along with the higher expectations for DNP nurses come greater opportunities to lead evaluation teams and influence high-level decision making in all areas of health care. The book recognizes that the reader does not necessarily read a book from first chapter through the last. The intended audiences for this book are students enrolled in master and doctoral level programs, including advanced practice registered nurses (APRN) and DNP programs; DNP graduates and practicing APRNs; nurse administrators; directors of quality improvement; faculty teaching evaluation; and others interested in evaluation of health care from a practice and clinical perspective. The book provides an overview of the state of the science and knowledge of evaluation, and its application to common practice issues in which DNP, APRN, and master's prepared nurses lead and participate. Students, graduates, and colleagues provided information about their particular needs which was greatly appreciated. The intent of this book is to lay a foundation in evaluation for DNPs/APRNs to assume their important role in the process. Evaluation principles (concepts) as applied to health care continue to be underdeveloped and evolving. Evaluation is a nonlinear and messy process. While there is no one right way to conduct an evaluation, it is driven by the intended purpose and use of the evaluation findings.

This engaging handbook delivers practical guidance on the burgeoning roles and career opportunities afforded by the DNP degree, as well as the knowledge and skills required for career advancement. It provides students and professionals with a fundamental understanding of the value of the DNP degree and how it supports opportunities for nurses to shape the future of health care at academic, policy, organizational, site, and patient-care levels. Following an overview of the DNP degree along with a discussion of key competencies required for success in any DNP arena, the guide examines the various roles a DNP graduate can hold.

    Florence Nightingale, Nursing, and Health Care Today

    Book

    This book is addressed to nurses, administrators, nursing academics, nursing students, as well as other health care professionals, and to the interested general reader. Nightingale was far ahead of her time in setting out the core principles of the new nursing profession, with demanding ethical standards and continuing education to keep up with best practice. The book is organized into two parts containing twelve chapters. Part I, Nightingale’s Nursing: Then and Now, presents what she wrote and did in key areas of nursing and health care: patient care, health promotion, ethics, infection control, pediatric nursing, long-term and palliative care, administration, and research and policy development. Part II, In Nightingale’s Own Words, takes the reader into Nightingale’s best writing itself. It provides selections of Nightingale’s most important writing from 1858 to 1893, thus facilitating the tracing of her ideas as they evolved. Nightingale’s writings are categorized into Nightingale’s early writing on hospitals and nursing, Nightingale’s writing on nursing for the poorest, and Nightingale’s late writing on nursing, hospitals, and disease prevention. The book shows how Nightingale interacted with leading physicians and other health science experts. The prime purpose of this book is to bring Nightingale’s ideas and work to the attention of nurses today, not as a historical figure but as a source of principles, vision, and sound practice in the here and now.

    Clinical Leadership for Physician Assistants and Nurse Practitioners

    Book

    This book provides both health professional students and experienced practitioners with the cognitive strategies for clinical leadership and opportunities for applying these strategies to the realities of advanced clinical practice.

    Fast Facts on Combating Nurse Bullying, Incivility, and Workplace Violence:
    What Nurses Need to Know in a Nutshell

    Book

    Incivility, bullying, and workplace violence in nursing is a significant problem–so much so that the American Nurses Association (ANA) developed a position statement in 2015 addressing the issue (ANA, 2015). ANA’s Code of Ethics for Nurses with Interpretive Statements notes that nurses are required to “create an ethical environment and culture of civility and kindness, treating colleagues, coworkers, employees, students, and others with dignity and respect”. This book explores the topic and gives the reader practical hands-on skills on how to identify and deal with this phenomenon. It provides detailed information, emphasizing why it is not okay to put new nurses “through the ringer” because we were once in that position. The book is intended to be a “field guide” to bullying and incivility: how to define, recognize, and deal with the behavior. It helps in understanding workplace violence in health care and the cost of nurse bullying on the health care system. The book explores the effects of bullying on the nurse and how to resolve and heal these effects, and the movement for formal workplace bullying legislation. It describes the responsibilities of nursing leadership and the employer and explains how to resist nurse bullying. Finally the book presents four case studies on bullying and the student nurse, bullying and the novice nurse, bullying in nursing education, and bullying in nursing administration.

  • Using Technology to Improve Care of Older Adults Go to book: Using Technology to Improve Care of Older Adults

    Using Technology to Improve Care of Older Adults

    Book

    This book is part of the Critical Topics in an Aging Society series. It serves as a catalyst in the technological transformation of aging services through organized presentation and evaluation of tools for a broad health care audience. Geriatrics interprofessional care is a fundamental part of older adult clinical practice modeled on a team approach inclusive of various fields, among them social work, pharmacy, nursing, rehabilitation, administration, and medicine. All clinicians who treat older adults, from the independent to the frail, are engaged in geriatrics team care which is continually adapting and evolving for individuals based on functional status changes, new treatment paradigms, and different settings of care. The need for advanced technology is clearly evident as one enters a hospital, nursing home, or geriatric care setting, including the patient’s home. Older adults have limited abilities to adapt to changes across these care locations, and thoughtfully implemented technology may eliminate these obstacles while providing safer, more enjoyable, and cost-effective care. The book presents some of the latest medical technological innovations and discusses options to help improve not only transitions of care, but also independence and quality of life for older adults. It is organized into four sections. The first section discusses current major challenges in aging and targets for technology, and promoting technology adoption and engagement in aging. The second section focuses on transitions of care and technology integration, home telehealth, and telemedicine and its effects on elder care in rural areas. Section three explores technology design for frailty, technology and cognitive impairment, advances in medication adherence technology, and technological advancements in pain management in elderly population. The final section describes personalized medicine and wearable devices, social robots and other relational agents to improve patient care, artificial intelligence and its potential to improve health, and advances in health education technology.

  • Person-Focused Health Care Management Go to book: Person-Focused Health Care Management

    Person-Focused Health Care Management:
    A Foundational Guide for Health Care Managers

    Book

    This book examines how health care managers can initiate and direct the process of system transformation by understanding and using a greater "person focus" in their decision making. It helps to develop specific rules for improving the experience of care through better managerial decision making. Case studies with discussion questions facilitate creative problem solving based on sound decision making. A first fundamental component of patient-centered or person-focused care is the ability to take the patient perspective. Individual chapters provide a physician perspective of how the intensive care unit (ICU) can be transformed into a venue for physicians to interact with patients, explore how the physician-patient relationship affects patient engagement and perspectives of the patient and resident in long-term care, explain the relationship between health care payment systems and quality of care and consider how regulatory compliance in a health care environment impacts the entire enterprise. Other chapters separately explore how supply chain management typically contributes to the larger, system-wide "institutionalization" of care, help the readers to understand the importance of patient fears and discuss prevention of medical errors. Human factors have been identified as a root cause of medical errors, particularly diagnostic errors.
