#N545rn @CarrieSilvers1 @mrwalt2011 M7 my plan to use policy to improve healthcare delivery and patient outcomes is to create a patient centered culture in my facility that focuses on the holistic care of the individual using best practices and kindness

#N545rn M6 @CarrieSilvers1 @mrwalt2011 Fee for service payments from Medicare have improved care for some patients by rewarding good outcomes. In my community, this has caused a great number of improvements in the care given by incentivizing quality care.

#N545rn @mrwalt2011 @CarrieSilvers1 M2- I am addressing the policy of mandatory overtime in nursing. At this time mandatory overtime varies by department and by hospital system, my current department does not require overtime but is being discussed as becoming a new policy.

#N545rn @pcjefa I followed the @NCHL_Leadership site because they are a not for profit site that works to create useful changes that benefit patients and nurses. This is done by using the combined knowledge of nurse leaders nationwide to create best practices.

#n541 @pcjefa M6 Reduction of readmission following MI can be difficulties to lack of education. This may be alleviated with the creation of a discharge team that can focus on education and coordination of follow up care. This may decrease readmits for all diagnosis not just MI.

#n541 @pcjefa M5 Health rankings aid health officials in decision making regarding what areas of health promotion need to be focused on. Maricopa county has had a mild upswing in premature deaths from 2014 to 2017.

#n541rn @pcjefa M4 raising awareness of person health and accountability needs to change with the times, offer digital platforms for receiving care and education to encompass many people that otherwise wouldn’t seek info about their health.

#n541rn @pcjefa M3- The need for transparency in health care is imparative for ethical patient care. Understanding and fair treatment are basic human rights afforded to everyone regardless of race or gender and should never be compromised for research.

M1 Hello my name is Nickie Farkash, I hope to learn about ways to encourage health improvements to the local population in the phoenix area. I have been an RN for 6 years and an LPN for 8 prior to that. Learning this side of the field has been eye opening so far. #N541rn @pcjefa
