Interaction Between Nurse Informaticists and Other Specialists

 

Nature offers many examples of specialization and collaboration. Ant colonies and bee hives are but two examples of nature’s sophisticated organizations. Each thrives because their members specialize by tasks, divide labor, and collaborate to ensure food, safety, and general well-being of the colony or hive.

Of course, humans don’t fare too badly in this regard either. And healthcare is a great example. As specialists in the collection, access, and application of data, nurse informaticists collaborate with specialists on a regular basis to ensure that appropriate data is available to make decisions and take actions to ensure the general well-being of patients.

In this Discussion, you will reflect on your own observations of and/or experiences with informaticist collaboration. You will also propose strategies for how these collaborative experiences might be improved.

To Prepare:

  • Review the Resources and reflect on the evolution of nursing informatics from a science to a nursing specialty.
  • Consider your experiences with nurse Informaticists or technology specialists within your healthcare organization.

 Post a description of experiences or observations about how nurse informaticists and/or data or technology specialists interact with other professionals within your healthcare organization. Suggest at least one strategy on how these interactions might be improved. Be specific and provide examples. Then, explain the impact you believe the continued evolution of nursing informatics as a specialty and/or the continued emergence of new technologies might have on professional interactions.

Case study:

JC, an at-risk 86-year-old Asian male is physically and financially dependent on his daughter, a single mother who has little time or money for her father’s health needs. He has a hx of hypertension (HTN), gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), b12 deficiency, and chronic prostatitis. He currently takes Lisinopril 10mg QD, Prilosec 20mg QD, B12 injections monthly, and Cipro 100mg QD. He comes to you for an annual exam and states “I came for my annual physical exam, but do not want to be a burden to my daughter.”

Discussion: Diversity and Health Assessments

Introduction

            Health care providers should exhibit knowledge of population diversity and treat all patients with respect regardless of their culture and belief system. This is essential in understanding patient’s lifestyle, and behavior which may affect their health care. Accepting patient’s culture in a nonjudgmental manner creates a unique relationship between the patient and the healthcare provider. Therefore, APRN’s should be cognizant of patient’s culture, beliefs, lifestyle, and socioeconomic status as it relates to healthcare. A culturally competent healthcare provider accustoms his/herself to the exclusive needs of patients with cultures that are different from his or her own. Being accustomed to the belief’s and values of a patient lays the foundation for a trusting patient-provider relationship (Ball et al., 2019).

Socioeconomic, Spiritual, Lifestyle, and Cultural Factors Associated with the Patient

            The case study presents an 86-year-old Asian male that is physically and financially dependent on his daughter who is a single mother with little money to care for the patient’s healthcare needs.  Understanding the Asian culture is relevant to providing care to this elderly patient.  I will verify patient’s preferred language, ask about patient’s preference with a healthcare provider regarding race or ethnicity, gender, and age. Ensuring respect for this patient despite his financial and physical dependency will encourage a trusting relationship between the patient and the health care provider. Asian culture is known to teach respect for parents and family is a priority over self. Additionally, in Asian culture adult children are required to make financial, physical, and social sacrifices for their parents that are aging (Miyawaki, 2015). As a healthcare provider, I will welcome this patient, show respect by avoiding eye contact as some Asian countries consider making eye contact as rude. Maintaining eye contact is not done with individuals of East Asian cultural backgrounds. Also, the Japanese culture, teaches against maintaining   eye contact with others as it is believed to disrespectful (Uono & Hietanen, 2015).

            I will make the patient understand that I am familiar with culture of adult children caring for their aged parents. I will explain to the patient that he should not consider himself a burden to his daughter as the daughter is maintaining the requirement of their culture. This will encourage a relaxing environment that will enable the patient to feel accepted and ready to relate with the health care provider. Respect for the patient’s spiritual and religious belief is also vital. The patient should be asked about any spiritual belief that may affect his healthcare when sick or dying. Also, the APRN should inquire about spiritual or religious groups that the patient may belong that could be supportive in providing some assistance to his healthcare. Spirituality and faith help Asian-Americans manage the turmoil of adapting to a new country, by providing a safe environment where immigrants can socialize and be of assistance to one another (Lee & Eun-Kyoung, 2017).

Sensitive Issues

            I will inquire if the patient is compliant with taking his medications as prescribed and access for the use of over the counter, herbal, or traditional medications. This is especially important as the patient takes lisinopril 10mg QD, prilosec 20mg QD, B12 injections monthly, and cipro 100mg QD. To avoid drug interactions, it is important to ask about additional medications that the patient may be taking. Examples of Chinese herbal medicine include astragalus, ginger, licorice, panax ginseng, and schizandra. Traditional medicine is used across Asian societies for daily health maintenance, and treatment of certain medical conditions. Also, in China, Japan, and Korea, traditional medicine has become almost or equivalent to conventional medicine (Mu et al., 2020).

            Furthermore, the functionality of the patient will be accessed to determine the level of dependency on the daughter. Activities of daily living like feeding, bathing, wearing clothes, grooming will be accessed. Asking about financial assistance with purchasing medications, proper feeding and housing is vital to ensure the overall needs of the patient are catered for. Due to socioeconomic status and financial constraint of the patient and his caregiver (daughter), I will recommend the help of a social worker to provide the services of a home health nurse and home health nursing assistant. This will ensure that patients’ needs are met, and the patient takes his medications in a timely manner thereby relieving the responsibility on the patient’s daughter.  In addition, the services of physical and occupational therapy will be sorted to help strengthen any weak muscles or extremities to ensure some dependence with physical activities. I will explain to the patient that my recommendation for a social worker is to help him meet his daily needs and not to disrespect him. This will maintain patients pride and ego.

Targeted questions to assess health risks

  1. Do you have health insurance, or do you pay out of pocket for your medications?
  2. Do you take your medications as prescribed?
  3. Do you check your blood pressure at home?
  4. Would you want to receive help with feeding, clothing, bathing, or moving around your home?
  5. Do you experience any pain or difficulty in urinating?
  6. In the las two weeks have you experienced sleep disturbances, decreased appetite, feeling of sadness, hopelessness, or guilt, thoughts of committing suicide and poor concentration.
  7. In what way do you think you are a burden to your daughter?
  8. How often do you eat and what type of food do you eat?
  9. Do you take any herbal, traditional or over the counter medications?

            The questions above are used to access the patient’s access to his medications and if he is compliant with taking his medications. The need to access for patient’s knowledge about checking his blood pressure due to his history of hypertension. Accessing patient’s willingness to receive outside resources like home health assistance is essential to providing the needed healthcare. Question about urinating accesses the history of prostatitis. Accessing for depression in the elderly is crucial to determine the patient’s mental state. Elderly Asian immigrants in the US are at risk of depression (Seungah & Eun-Kyoung, 2017). Evaluating the patients feeding habits and if the patient takes any medication outside his prescribed medications determines the patient’s health risk.

we will be covering the APNP scope on practice: relationship with supervised physician via protocol covered on your portfolio assignment, new introduced controlled substance prescribed abilities, our role on research and evidence based practice, etcetera. It is very important to understand your scope of practice which basically determined yours legal scope of practice.

The scope of practice describes the procedures, actions, and processes that a health care practitioner is permitted to undertake in keeping with the terms of their professional license.

2. State practice environment (AANP).https://www.aanp.org/advocacy/state/state-practice-environment

3. I want to take an opportunity to discuss our new granted privilege to prescribe controlled substance. There are five classes of substance considered under the Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act of 1970 (Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act of 1970, 2019).This privilege was legally approved in Florida, the last state to grant such a privilege for midlevel practitioners, in 2017( Kellangs & Maye, 2017). Once licensed as Florida Nurse Practitioner (NP) license, you will need 2 hours of controlled substance prescription CEUs and to apply for the DEA license. The application cost $ 731 and it’s valid for three years. NPs are required to have a controlled substance agreement with the supervising physician.

I consider myself a relatively new nurse compared to so many experienced nurses with careers spanning years.  During my short career, the nursing shortage has always existed. This year the challenges of staffing shortages exceeds any other times I have experienced. We all recognize the COVID-19 pandemic as impacting the nursing shortage across the country with states continuing to plea for help to fill the vacancies. Prior to COVID-19, burnout was already making headlines with reporting that increased workloads, daily pressure and chaos in addition to our dysfunctional health care systems as contributing factors (Wan, 2019).

     The nursing shortage at one facility I am currently working has become so extreme that incentives (bonus pay) to fill shifts has become normal practice. Although the extra income can be enticing, the mental and physical ramifications are often not worth putting in another 12 or more hours. Coordination of staff during these shortages impacts the entire facility and is often handled by administrative personnel located in other cities. Often the supervisory staff are in positions that prevent them from making time-sensitive decisions regarding staffing because administrators are slow to respond. Unfortunately, the shortages and inability for efficient staffing impacts the nurses and increases risks to our patients.

I am currently working in a sub- acute unit of an extensive care center. The center is divided into two sub-acute and senior nursing faculty. However, sub- acute unit is very different from other unit because patients here require total care, have PEG tubes, have tracheotomies and have high levels of acuteness. The unit has 27 beds and each nurse is responsible for taking care of 8 patients in eight hours shift. Nurses also assist other health professionals like CNAs to recommend ADLs (Snavely, 2016).

Nevertheless, we are faced with high nurse turn-over rates. I can say it has been hectic one year working in this unit due to voluntary quits because of heavy workloads hence this has affected patients safety. Inadequate training also leads to high turnover rates and for our organization training takes at most 2 weeks, which is short period for one to grasp everything. Implications include burnout and voluntary job quits (Brunetto, Rodwell, Shacklock, Farr‐Wharton & Demir, 2016). According to Snavely (2016), nurses become dissatisfied because of heavy workloads and as a result quit thus leading to high turnover rates.
