  • Use of Nursing Diagnosis in CA Nursing Schools
    USE OF NURSING DIAGNOSIS IN CALIFORNIA NURSING SCHOOLS AND HOSPITALS January 2018 Funded by generous support from the California Hospital Association (CHA) Copyright 2018 by HealthImpact. All rights reserved. HealthImpact 663 – 13th Street, Suite 300 Oakland, CA 94612 www.healthimpact.org USE OF NURSING DIAGNOSIS IN CALIFORNIA NURSING SCHOOLS AND HOSPITALS INTRODUCTION As part of the effort to define the value of nursing, a common language continues to arise as a central issue in understanding, communicating, and carrying out nursing's unique role in identifying and treating patient response to illness. The diagnostic process and evidence-based interventions developed and subsequently implemented by a practice discipline describe its unique contribution, scope of accountability, and value. The specific responsibility registered nurses (RN) have in assessing patient response to health and illness and determining evidence-based etiology is within the realm of nursing’s autonomous scope of practice, and is referred to as nursing diagnosis. It is an essential element of the nursing process and is followed by implementing specific interventions within nursing’s scope of practice, providing evidence that links professional practice to health outcomes. Conducting a comprehensive nursing assessment leading to the accurate identification of nursing diagnoses guides the development of the plan of care and specific interventions to be carried out. Assessing the patient’s response to health and illness encompasses a wide range of potential problems and actual concerns to be addressed, many of which may not arise from the medical diagnosis and provider orders alone, yet can impede recovery and impact health outcomes. Further, it is critically important to communicate those problems, potential vulnerabilities and related plans of care through broadly understood language unique to nursing.

  • Nursing Historical Highlights F RON T COV E R
    NURSING HISTORICAL HIGHLIGHTS F RON T COV E R : Forever Caring, dedicated October 7, 2003 Gift of Mayo Clinic in recognition of nursing colleagues and the philanthropic leadership of Marilyn J. (Methodist Kahler School of Nursing Graduate) and Warren F. Bateman. Artist Gloria Tew has expressed the primary value of Mayo Clinic - “the needs of the patient come first” - in the concept of this bronze tableau. Figures of nurses are arranged to portray the retrospective histories of Saint Marys Hospital, founded by the Sisters of Saint Francis, and the Rochester Methodist Hospital. Contemporary figures of a female and male nurse show the response of the nursing profession to current and future patient care needs. Nurses in advanced practice, education and research, the threefold mission of Mayo Clinic, are shown in the nurse anesthetist, the graduate nurse, and the nurse with a patient’s chart. The tableau also honors the former schools of nursing in Rochester by depicting their distinctive caps: Saint Marys School of Nursing (nurse with patient chart); Methodist Kahler School of Nursing (nurse with patient in a wheelchair), and Saint Marys School of Practical Nursing (nurse with serving tray). The following timeline offers insight into the rich history of nursing at Mayo Clinic in Rochester. From Mayo’s beginning, nursing has been a significant part of our education, practice, and research. Nursing at Mayo has mirrored the growth of the Mayo Clinic and the campuses of Mayo Clinic Hospital. While this timeline depicts nursing highlights, each of these points in time has a full history of its own.

Improving Nurse Anesthetist Intraoperative Handoff Process by Developing and Implementing an Evidence-Based, Facility-Specific Cognitive Aid Abstract Miscommunication or non-transfer of pertinent patient information during intraoperative handoffs between anesthesia providers creates patient safety risks. An evidence-based facility-specific cognitive aid was developed and introduced to nurse anesthetists in an anesthesiology department of a large academic hospital with the aim of improving the intraoperative patient handoff process. The program used a handoff cognitive aid that addressed five pertinent patient information points.

In an increasingly crowded world, people rightly expect health care to meet their needs quickly and, where possible, tailored to their needs. Technology helps to deliver these elements, putting the power back in the hands of the patient. Health care is growing increasingly complex, and most clinical research focuses on new approaches to diagnosis and treatment. In contrast, relatively little effort has been targeted at the perfection of operational systems, which are partly responsible for the well-documented problems with medical safety. If medicine is to achieve major gains in quality, it must be transformed, and information technology will play a key part, especially with respect to safety. Technological innovation in health care is an important driver of cost growth.
