#545rn M7 @pcjefa Future plans is to implement policies that I have within our organization and use it for healthier patient outcomes.
For example, falls. Very common. Take that policy, huddle with nurses, have them sign off, discuss policy post huddle, and implement improvement.
#545 M6 @pcjefa FFS pays the providers for each covered medical service/procedure. Services are unbundled and paid for separately, ex: office visits, test procedures, or other health care services. Leading providers to wastefully increase volume of services and procedures.
#545rn@pcjefa M4 Wheatley (2017) found that 60% of U.S. nurses surveyed worked at least one type of overtime. Nurses who reported working overtime, 54% worked less than 12 hours a week overtime, 46% worked 12 hours or more per week, and 62% reported voluntary overtime.
#545rn M2 @pcjefa The healthcare issue that I have selected to address through policy is mandatory overtime in nursing. As of today, 18 states have passed legislation restricting nursesโ of mandatory overtime and Hawaii is currently exempt at this time.
