Advantages And Disadvantages Of Risk Based Monitoring

Implementation will need to increase by medical staff to decrease disadvantages

This can be measured by reviewing charts to ensure that required fields are documented and confirming that the information available is what was entered and can be traced back to the appropriate data entry point. As Jackson et al (2011) indicate, it is important to determine the needs of users, such as healthcare providers and patients, to make sure that they are receiving value from the system.

We need data standards and quality measures to verify the validity, reliability, completeness, and the timeliness of the data that is collected. Additionally, there needs to be standards that address how data is recorded to safeguard the consistency across multiple sources (ex. radiology, laboratory, patient and administration) in an organization. Importantly, data fields and their content need to be standardized, as well.

The Turnell and Edwards Signs of Safety which is a strengths based, safety oriented approach can also be utilised alongside the CAF. This strategy aims to work with all individuals involved in the case to assess and plan safety and reduce risk and danger through focusing on the resources and networks that the family has (Signs of Safety, 2015). This approach involves the issues of concern, strengths already

An estimated sample size was calculated to be 86 patients undergoing head CT for each Group to prove an 18% increase in clinician adherence rate between the pre and post-intervention groups. PBM alert was set to fire if any selected complaint appropriate to the condition The BPM give the user different option : cancel, complete head injury section or low risk head injury . Cancel could be used at any time to ignore the BPA and search the chart for more details but unless another action was taken, every time the user reopened the chart the BPA would again fire. If the user felt the patient did not fit the parameters for the study then he or she could choose the low risk head injury unlikely radio button and the BPA disappears permanently from that particular record. If the user chose complete head injury section he or she would be taken to a new section of the chart where a series of questions are asked and using branching logic or what in Epic calls document flow-sheet cascades , which depending on the answers to the questions takes the user through until a natural stopping point.

The SARS led to the loss of lives, business bankruptcy and affected the tourism industry, this all led to a negative impact on the economy of the country. The health systems should use the three reports, Naylor, Kirby and Walker to renew the systems by increasing the resources, improving the systems and inter-agency cooperation. These would help by allowing for a better plan and preparing for future disasters. Political parties should come together with a common objective of having a plan for infectious disease protection, there should be a political motive to implement the plan and the need for the political parties to review and maintain the plan to ensure protection of the entire community. There is a need to increase the number of medical practitioners, and should be trained to deal with these types of incident should they happen in the future.

Facing a health crisis that deals with many of the populace involves: “respect for society, coordination of organizations and an institution with scientific weight to the people and to the media, who acted as spokesman in situations of public health risk, to get confidence citizens” (Busko). The technical capacity of health professionals “is more proven than the public officials, which suggests a greater share of the former and better training of the second” (Selby). The state of Texas has never had a crisis like this or others experiences that were similar. Crises are challenges that must be learned from both their errors and successes since they serve to bring about to the devices and improve the response to other crises. It is important to perform analysis of previous responses, and research and testing, to prepare themselves for another health crisis.

Step Five: Monitoring and Improving The final step of the risk management process is to monitor and improve the program. However, risk managers are not alone on this task as upper management, the health care staff, the governing board, insurers, legal advisors, and claims managers, all become involved, which helps to ensure that the program stays running optimally. Monitoring and improving a risk program is an ongoing process as potential risks continually change and there is always a need for maintaining and improving safety activities and

I intend to show you that when it comes to emergency response, success will come from accomplishing a through threat assessment for the community of responsibility. Once you see the threats, are able to assess the vulnerability and understand the consequences, you will get a clear picture of the risks to enable you to evaluate to allocate adequate funds. Let’s start with understand

Then utilizing the results the clinic can drill down to the patients receiving beta-blockers, diabetes (eye & kidney exam) to determine if the correct interventions were being provided by the health care physician and identify gaps in treatment and then ensure the physician receives reminders on preventable measures to close quality care gaps and improve the quality of care provided to patients (Eddy, Pawlson, Schaff, Peskin, Shcheprov, Dziuba & Eng, 2008). I completed a chart audit of over 200 med advantage patient records this week utilizing CPT codes,ICD-9, progress notes, and lab results for HEDIS measures for HgbA1c (9 every 3 months), Diabetic Eye Exams (yearly), Colonoscopy Exam (every 10 years-unless indicated otherwise), Mammograms (yearly after age 50), BP (controlled < 100), and medication adherence (beta blockers, ACE/ARB, cholesterol, diabetic, etc) and my findings would be reported to BCBS, Humana, Clear River, Health Springs and NCQA. The yearly eye diabetic eye exam can detect retinopathy and help ensure early treatment to prevent blindness, control of BP can reduce MI infraction while yearly colonoscopy and mammograms can detect early signs of cancer and HbbA1c can help detect and identify gaps in diabetes

" In that type of situation the staff wanted to eliminate more of the problem. If only the disaster plan had been calculated correctly, less lives would have been lost or should I say taken. I appreciate this story. As hard as it is to read and digest, I know malpractice knows no bounds.

Final Exam Mattie Parham Bryant & Stratton College HTHS 400: Disaster Planning and Management Dr. Markisha J. Woodson April 25, 2016 Compare and Contrast the various types of disasters that can affect healthcare facilities. Describe the effect that various types of disasters can have on the ability of a healthcare facility to effectively respond. A disaster in health care is an event that produces casualties beyond the number and severity for which a single hospital or prehospital emergency medical system can plan. A disaster would affect communities, surrounding localities, and regions.

Drug Kardexes were gathered and audited under certain criteria in order to identify potential risk areas in drug prescribing and administration, and also to provide ways in which these risks can be reduced or eliminated and reinforce drug management policies’ and guidelines. NICE (2002) audit cycle will be applied to this assignment to provide an acceptable framework (Appendix 1). Step 1: Preparing for Audit. The first step in the audit process is to identify which type of audit is to be carried out.

Given the risk considerations provided in the RCD tool and the Portfolio Theory, the next step should be understanding the available risk/return metrics and determining an optimal mix of assets. Risk Metrics and Advantage/Disadvantages There are two risk metrics used in the model, Conditional Tail Expectation (CTE) and Value at Risk (VaR). These two metrics both look at the tail of the distribution. VaR is a measure of particularly poor outcomes in a stochastic projection. Its major shortcoming is its lack of statistical coherency.
