The focal point of this report is the Victorian Health and Wellbeing plan 2015 – 2019, created by the Victorian State Government after the imminent success of the original Victorian Health and Wellbeing plan allying the years of 2011 – 2015.

In 2009, Centura Health came up with a plan to transform the future of health care for their patients and communities. With their “Get better, get different” philosophy, the stakeholders developed a plan, Centura Health 2020, to not just revolutionize how they treat sickness, but to enable wellness through the entire system as well. This plan continues today with the goal of constant improvement for the patient, the patient’s family, and the community. This goal of transformation is built on three pillars.
The warming atmosphere is one of a kind. Behind the counter are the caring faces of not just a worker, but a friend. Regular guests are called by name, sharing stories of families and the past week with the welcoming employees. Sitting all around in tables and booths are patrons from every category. Beside the window on a high table to the left is a lawyer, to the right is a mother and her two kids. In a booth in the back is a construction worker still covered slightly in concrete from a road job he had been working on back on 19th Street. All of these, enjoying a delicious meal of their special combination.
When residents have been allowed to participate in their diet decisions, they have been found to have increased appetites and enjoyment of food, both of which are equated with quality of life. Alternatively, strict diets have been shown to result in lower intakes leading to weight loss and undernutrition. (Dorner, Niedert, & Welch, 2002). Offering a wide variety of foods with 24/7 access to allows active participation in choosing their own diet. Eliza Jennings homes were assured resident health was not compromised as a result of person-centered care by performing regular Accu-Checks and other diagnostic checks to monitor the health of the residents (“Case Studies in Person-Directed Care”,
The NHS choices (2010) states that upholding a balanced diet is important for good health, this can be accomplished by giving the patient a selection of foods from the five major food groups. This indicates that we as professionals need to be giving the patients the right amount of food from each of the food groups. According to Bloomfield J, Pegram A (2012). They explain that there are many factors that can prevent patients within the hospital setting being given enough to eat and drink. It is important that we as professionals identify the factors which prevent the patient from receiving the right amount of food and water. According to Jeffries et al (2011) if we as nurses do not identify the factors it can cause malnutrition and other outcomes from postponed recovery, and also it could cause infections, which will then increases the patient’s time within hospital. Whiteing and Hunter (2008) stated that factors such as disruptions to mealtimes through preparation of investigations, or patients being absent from the ward when meals and drinks are served. We as nurses need take time to make sure that there is meal plan in place for the patients, this then will make sure that the patient is receiving their meals at the same time during the day, also giving the patent a copy of this plan will then therefore explain to them that meal time is a certain time as

The current health care changes and trends, in Houston Texas that are impacting the general population in nutrition are rapidly approaching us. For instance;
The National health services (NHS) provides a comprehensive healthcare services across the entire nation. It is considered to be UK’s proudest institution, and is envied by many other countries because of its free of cost health delivery to its population. Nevertheless, it is often seen as a ‘political football’ as it affects all of us in some way and hence everyone carry an opinion about it (Cass, 2006). Factors such as government policies, funding, number of service users, taxation etc all make up small parts of this large complex organisation. Therefore, any imbalances within one sector can pose a substantial risk on the overall NHS (Wheeler & Grice, 2000). This essay will discuss whether the NHS aim of reducing the nations need for provision of health was achieved or not, taking into account different health models.
As I open the doors to Chipotle, the mouthwatering scent of cumin, oregano, and bay leaves from the marinated protein wafts toward my nose and I step inside the restaurant, allowing myself to be fully immersed in the aroma of mixed spices. I make my way toward the surprisingly short line of ravenous customers anxiously waiting their turn to be served at the next station. I survey the restaurant’s menu above and am met with a few alterations that catch my interest. My eyes scan over the food options, ignoring the selection of rices, meats, and salsas that I can recite in my sleep, and analyze the numbers to the right of the delicious choices. There is an obvious increase in the price of guacamole, but upon further inspection, I notice that the remaining items on the menu have also been raised. I move further up in line and make note of the near vacant room that was once bustling with customers trying to make their order heard over the boisterous chatter. As I approach the rice station, I overhear two women exchanging a conversation about Chipotle’s E.coli epidemic that had occurred across the nation. An employee from behind

Although the treatment process was often frustrating and challenging, I actually came to enjoy my appointments with the nutritionist in her tiny, cozy office, cluttered with food models and recipes. She taught me the basics of nutrition and helped me form a healthier relationship with food. It took time and quite a few tearful sessions, but I slowly started to view food in terms of the nutrients and benefits it could offer me instead of thinking of food as the enemy. During my recovery, I experienced the powerful impact that proper nutrition could have on overall health. I gained back all the weight I had lost, and my hair stopped falling out. However, the biggest changes were the ones most people could not see just by looking at me; they were the emotional and mental changes that came from properly nourishing my body again. I could concentrate on schoolwork instead of planning out my next meal, and I ...
