Track 5: Nursing

No Comment on Track 5: Nursing

Introduction

Care plans are covered in the majority of nursing programmes’ basic curriculum. However, newly graduated hospital nurses frequently lament that in spite of all the publicity and time spent learning how to create a nursing care plan, they never actually accomplish it. It’s possible that you haven’t written one in a while as a nursing leader. Why would you begin right away?

Care plans assist nurses in concentrating on patients holistically and comprehensively so they may provide evidence-based, patient-centered care. Care plans also assist hospitals in meeting paperwork requirements for insurers and governing authorities, promoting inter-professional teamwork by having all professionals on the same page, and ensuring continuity of care across nurse shifts.

There’s a good likelihood that your nurses aren’t creating care plans for each patient because they are too busy, even if your hospital needs them. Depending on the unit, they may only provide care for a few days before being overburdened with unnecessary paperwork. Nurses may question the need for creating an official plan of care given that the majority of the data in one is already required in various areas of each patient’s electronic health record (EHR).

Nurses are unlikely to create care plans unless they are necessary. Writing care plans will also be seen as more “busywork,” which is the misery of every nurse’s existence, unless they are helpful.

What advantages do nursing care plans for hospitals offer? How can you make sure that nurses will find care plans to be a helpful tool to have at their disposal?

Why Your Hospital Needs a Nursing Care Plan

Nursing students learn how to individualise patient care through care plans, as well as how to think critically about what is required to accomplish desired outcomes and apply that thinking to the nursing process. Experienced nurses already know how to accomplish it, often without even being aware that they’re doing it or documenting it. Even yet, a structured nursing care plan can be a useful tool for efficient nursing communication.

Formal care plans are frequently used by long-term care providers, including nursing homes, mental health facilities, and home health nurses. They are frequently compelled to utilise them by regulatory agencies like the Joint Commission. Care plans, however, frequently fail in hospitals.

There are numerous advantages for hospitals that successfully implement care plans, including:

Continuity of care: Nursing care plans make certain that nurses working on various shifts or floors have access to the same patient information, are aware of the patient’s nursing diagnoses, communicate their observations to one another, and work together toward the same objectives.

Inter-professional collaboration: Collaboration between different professions: Although nurses constitute the backbone of the care team, there are other members as well. The patient’s health issues, goals, and progress must also be understood by the patient’s doctors, social workers, nursing assistants, physical therapists, and other caregivers. All of this information is gathered in a nursing care plan, which offers a clear path to the intended results.

Patient-centered care: Care plans aid in ensuring that patients receive evidence-based, comprehensive care. Nursing diagnoses are standardised to provide high-quality treatment, while nursing interventions are customised to each patient’s unique physical, psychological, and social needs.

Engaged patients: Nursing care can be guided and evaluated by setting attainable goals for and with patients. Because they can clearly see what has to be done to produce the intended results, goals also encourage patients to take an active role in their treatment.

Compliance: The care plan serves as official receipt documentation and aids payers in calculating the appropriate payment amount.

A nursing care plan: What Is It?

The nursing process, as defined by the American Nurses Association as “the common thread uniting different types of nurses who work in varied areas… the essential core of practise for the registered nurse to deliver holistic, patient-focused care,” is expressed in a nursing care plan, which is its written form.

There are five essential steps in the nursing process: 

Assessment: In order to develop a comprehensive picture of the patient’s needs and risk factors, assessment entails gathering and analysing data.

Diagnosis: Developing a nursing diagnosis involves using data, patient feedback, and professional judgement.

Outcomes/Planning: Outcomes/Planning: Establishing short- and long-term objectives in accordance with the nurse’s evaluation and diagnosis, ideally with the patient’s input. deciding on nursing interventions to achieve such objectives.

Implementation: Implementation: Putting the nursing plan into action in accordance with the patient’s medical needs and the nurse’s diagnosis. recording the nursing care that is given.

Evaluation: include keeping track of the patient’s condition and progress toward goals, and adjusting the care plan as necessary.

This procedure is formally documented in a nursing care plan, which is typically divided into four columns that closely resemble the nursing process’s steps. Care plans consist of:·       

  • healthcare diagnoses
  • desired results/objectives
  • healthcare interventions
  • Evaluation
