Classification Systems and Data Quality

/0 Comments/in /by

Write a short paper explaining the impact of clinical classification systems and clinical
terminologies on improving data quality and communication in
healthcare. Discuss the ways in which classification systems may be used to support clinical and
administrative data uses in the healthcare delivery system.
Specifically, your short paper should address the following critical elements:
Compose an introduction on the function of clinical classifications systems and terminologies.
Explain how clinical classification systems and terminologies improve data quality and
communication in healthcare.
Provide two examples of the ways in which these classification systems and terminologies support administrative and clinical functions within a
healthcare delivery system.
In the Module Three small group discussion activity, you practiced mapping with different
scenarios. Using these scenarios, provide examples of where
common errors could have occurred, and explain the implications as to why accurate mapping is
essential. Within your paper, you will want to consider
the implications of inaccuracies on billing, patient safety, and patient care.

Case Study: Malpractice Action Brought by Yolanda Pinellas

Yolanda Pinellas is a 21-year-old female student studying to be a music conductor. She was admitted for chemotherapy. The medication Mitomycin was administered by intravenous infusion through an infusion pump.

During the evening shift the infusion pump began to beep. The RN found that the IV was dislodged and discontinued the infusion, notified the physician and provided care to the infusion site. The patient testified that a nurse came in and pressed some buttons and the pump stopped beeping. She was groggy and not sure who the nurse was or what was done. The documentation in the medical record indicates that there was an infiltration to the IV.

Two weeks after the event, the patient developed necrosis of the hand and required multiple surgical procedures, skin grafting, and reconstruction. She had permanent loss of function and deformity in her third, fourth, and fifth fingers. The patient is alleging that because of this, she is no longer able to perform as a musical conductor.

The risk manager had noted when doing chart reviews over the last 3 months prior to this incident that there were issues of short staffing and that many nurses were working double shifts, evenings, and nights then coming back and working the evening shift. The risk manager also noted a pattern of using float nurses to several units.

Engaging the community in health promotion

/0 Comments/in /by

Identify a community that is being affected by the public health issue that your group is
addressing (remember that while you will all be working on the same health issue within your
small group, you will be developing your own intervention approach). You do not have to
identify specific partners of your coalition, but you should be able to briefly describe your
community (city, county, or other geographic location). This will allow you to ground your
proposal within the demographic and environmental factors unique to your community that
may influence your intervention proposal.

Initial Post:
Title your initial post with your health issue and community (e.g., Diabetes prevention in
Wyoming County, WV). Briefly describe your community, including information regarding the
physical environment (rural/urban, unique characteristics) and demographics (race/ethnicity,
SES, etc.), and the impact of your health issue within the community.
Based on the readings and lectures this week, describe how you would identify stakeholders
within your community and begin to build partnerships. How will you include the needs and
perspectives of multiple members within the community coalition? Be specific in the strategies
you propose to both identify and include a variety of stakeholders in your coalition.
