Case study 4
The transfer team’s accomplishments included electing a leader, coming up with a facilitator, and developing a vision statement. Additionally, the team also data collection activities, which would help to understand the concerns and issues patient type with the electronic health record system. Data collection was done on the number of patients admitted to the emergency department with chest pain. Additionally, during the data collection, the team summarized the amount of admitting and transferring that each user performed. They also conducted observational studies of the patient type transfer procedure, which identified the number and type of errors that took place during the admission and transfer of patients.
Based on the way the transfer team undertook its activities, I assess that the transfer team did an excellent job in all the accomplishments. First, the team transfer team elected a leader who would head its achievements, found the facilitator, and constructed a vision statement that would guide the team in performing its activities. The team was organized, and therefore, its accomplishments were well planned and would help the organization to handle the concerns and issues of patients with the electronic health record system. The quality council is going to include the data collected by the team, as well as the observations made by the transfer team.
There are many problems in patient care. In the industry of healthcare, many tools are used to handle data that is related to patients and can monitor them. The problem with this current process is that it has not been applying traditional ways as patient care approaches. The issues of patient care include medical errors, lack of patient education, inadequate communication, and reduced workplace safety. Additionally, the team lacked adequate data that they could use to make recommendations during the process. The problem related to accuracy in reporting internally and externally is medical errors, which are under-reported by many health care organizations.
