    His story of how they thought he had a heart problem, but it really was just a communication problem is baffling, however, it is not uncommon. “About 80% of all serious medical errors involve miscommunication during care transitions (to different care settings)” (Govette, 2016). Health care facilities always talk about how working as a team and communication is important to the facilities success, but it is often overlooked. I believe the reason for this, is that most facilities use text as a way to communicate and often don’t use any other methods. However, the miscommunication problem could be solved if they met with other health care professionals, or even talked to them over the phone to discuss the problems with a particular patient. Even just double checking with someone to make sure they read the patients file would help the situation

    The lack of communication between patient and physician is a difficulty that this group experiences. The patient may be in denial, angry, and or frustrated and may not be able to communicate their feelings to the physician. It is important that the physician and team be aware of the body language. The physician needs to take the time to listen, and ask open-ended questions so the patient can reveal what is going on with them. Being supportive, sensitive, and nice will go a long way with this

  • Reflection On Final Head To Toe Assessment

    402 Words  | 1 Pages

    The shadow health assessment was thorough and precise. Completing the final head to toe required a lot of work. I was not expecting it to be so difficult, considering head to toe assessment is my daily routine at work. The content that I learned from the textbook and shadow health assessment helped me complete the final head to toe assessment. However, I noticed that completing head to toe assessment gets easier on most of the patients, once you get comfortable on the systemic approach. The physical assessment and communication skills that I learned from the class made my assessment less difficult. I find the documentation part of the final head to toe assessment challenging. I think that is due to our electronic charting software (EPIC) at

    Over the course of this class I have pieced together many things about my own life that before went unnoticed. I am now able to see things in a bit of a different light. Now that I have been introduced to the realm of psychology I understand some of the reasons for behavior around me. I have learned that there is a reason for most everything and a lot of our behaviors and mental processes can be explained through psychology. Studies have been conducted for many years to try and pinpoint the source of our behavior and it is not something that most people think about every day. Having a better understanding of why we operate the way we do will help me to better understand myself and the others around me.

  • Individual Reflection For The Final Project

    Throughout this term, my fellow classmates and I have had a chance to participate in a group project with two or three of our peers. The general topic was a vivid problem in a industry. Our class had a very wide and diverse sets of topics: from Styrofoam, to industrial hacking, to corruption in an influential international organization like FIFA, and so many more. Our group decided to develop a project named “Outsourcing and the price we pay for brands”. The name itselves is somewhat self-explanatory, however the problem is so much more complicated and interesting. In this paper, many struggles and concerns, of the group and of my my own, will be unfolded as I reflect the progress of this project.
