Saint Joseph's hospital has faced some fairly major challenges of the recent years. It has gotten to the point where they sought an entity to purchase the hospital and there were no bites for a time. That has since been rectified but the hospital continues to face some struggles as it relates to marketing and long term viability. St. Joseph must make an effort to identify their target markets and then effectively open up lines of communication via marketing to those segments. St. John's hospital has 407 beds and it is withdrawing from an alliance of Westchester County hospitals that includes Westchester Medical Center in Valhalla. The medical center provides the most sophisticated services in the region, such as heart surgery and trauma care. …show more content…

One of their main issues is patient care but also ethical. The report by the Nurses Association, Nation Nurses United and St. Joseph Health nurses alleges the health system is skimping on charity care, cutting patient services and supplies, reducing the number of caregivers, and violating patients’ and nurses’ rights. One of the many recommendations in regards these issues by the Nurses association is to support patients’ rights and ensure the provision of the safe, therapeutic and effective nursing care patients deserve, and fully comply with or exceed all applicable federal, state, and local health and safety laws at all

Encourage the patient to make choices and participate in planning of care and scheduled activities
Maintaining an open mind and learning what one can in terms of national and facility-specific standards will help equip one to perform his or her duties as expected. Above all, the overall care of the patient – mental, physical, financial and spiritual - is paramount.
Providing the steps to ethically sound excellent care, healthcare providers must acknowledge first the legal and ethical matters involved with proper investigation and then devise a plan for best possible action recognizing the rights of the patient and its benefits followed by the application of the chosen intervention with positive outcome in mind (Wells, 2007). Delivery of excellent and quality of care at a constant level (NMC, 2008) must be marked in any responsibilities and duties of the care provider to promote exceptional nursing practice. Codes of nursing ethics and legal legislation have addressed almost all the necessary actions in making decisions in consideration to the best interest of the patient. Nurses must make sure that they are all guided by the set standard to lead their action and produce desirable and ethically sound outcomes.
The healthcare system can be difficult for clients to navigate and they are often unsure how to access information which puts them at the mercy of others and can lead to feelings of helplessness (Erlen, 2006). Nurses can provide resources to educate patients when they becomes dependent on a health care provider and no longer feel in control of their own body which can lead to fear, hopelessness, helplessness and loss of control (Cousley et al., 2014). The change in roles individuals face can further increase their stress and feelings of powerlessness (Scanlon & Lee, 2006). According to the CNA code of ethics, nurses are responsible for protecting patients from objective risks that place them in an increased level of vulnerability (Carel, 2009). They can do this by providing the resources necessary for patients to educate themselves and be better able to cope with the health challenges they
Columbia Saint Mary's Hospital Milwaukee located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It was founded in 1848, the state's first private hospital. Columbia St. Mary's Hospital Milwaukee is a full-service hospital offering a complete range of medical, surgical and advanced clinical specialties. The medical-surgical unit we were practicing is on the 6th floor. The patient population on this unit is diverse and at a wide age range. There is interdisciplinary health care teams in the med/surgical unit and they are relative young.
The American Nurses Association (ANA) developed a foundation for which all nurses are expected to perform their basic duties in order to meet the needs of the society we serve. The ANA “has long been instrumental in the development of three foundational documents for professional nursing; its code of ethics, its scope and standards of practice, ands statement of social policy.” (ANA, 2010, p. 87) The ANA defined nursing as “the protection, promotion, and optimization of health and abilities, prevention of illness and injury, alleviation of suffering through the diagnosis and treatment of human response, and advocacy in the care of individuals, families, communities, and populations” and used to create the scope and standards of nursing practice. (ANA, 2010, p. 1) These “outline the steps that nurses must take to meet client healthcare needs.” () The nursing process, for example, is one of the things I use daily. Other examples include communicating and collaborating with my patient, their families, and my peers, and being a lifelong learner. I continually research new diagnoses, medications, and treatments for my patients. As a nurse of ...
The University District Hospital is a part of the larger PeaceHealth system and its financial flexibility is reaped from this relationship. Given that UD is a small hospital which provides inpatient psychiatric care, emergency services, and acute care of the elderly, all of which are poorly reimbursed, if the UD did not belong to a larger system that can assist with financial viability, it may not be able to accommodate the changes in service delivery required to remain sustainable. However, the services provided at UD meet the Mission of the organization and are essential to the community in which the facility resides.
Delegated tasks, and monitoring all direct-patient staff, including LPNs and Dialysis Assistants, assessed care needs and developmental assignments.

Personally, I believe that my loyalty and respectful candidness are the very same essence that contribute to my uniqueness.

I effortlessly, devote myself to ensuring that they receive the same level of care that I would only hope to receiver myself. That said, one of my particular interest, is to be able to expand my horizon and become multi-faceted in the
Some specialized medical services that can be provided in an assisted living home may be emergency call systems in private and common areas, health services, medical administration, and transportation to medical appointments. When an individual first enters into an assisted living program, the care recipient and his or her family will receive an initial orientation of the services provided. Additionally, an assisted living coordinator will meet with the recipient and his or her family to make an initial evaluation to determine which medical services will need to be provided. The recipient should also be evaluated on a regular basis to reflect to see which services are no longer required or services that need to be added. A copy of medical assessments and evaluations should be provided to the resident for his or her own
Ethics is a key component of nursing. Nurses take care of people when they are often at their most weak and vulnerable points. Nurses are the component of the health care team that spend the most time with the patient, they are often the one that will first identify the physical and emotional needs of their patients. Nurses have a unique influence over their patients, thus a need for integrity within a moral and ethical framework is imperative to give those patients the appropriate physical and emotional support they require. The American Nurses Association (ANA) has a code of ethics written “as guide for carrying out nursing responsibilities in a manner consistent with quality in nursing care and the ethical obligations of the profession”
Based on what the nursing staff feels is an ethical conflict in patient care, it would be prudent first to engage the charge nurses, case managers and nurse educators in a conflict resolving conversation. This is because these nursing leaders have a unique understanding of the staffing situation in their respective units. One point of argument that the charge nurses and educators will put forward is that cutting the nursing budget can result to substandard nursing care. They will argue that this may result in poor patient outcomes, which can lead to increased health care expense for both the patient, health care insurance and health care facility. Gaudine and Beaton (2002) put the current issue into perspective identifying four themes
Two accreditations, the Nursing Code of Conduct, as well as Code of Ethics reinforces this testimony within their binding. A nurse’s comprehension and skills are vital forces that can contribute to the power of influence in an ethical matter, during their patient care. This authority roots from the health care team’s dependence on the nurse’s expertise and knowledge. Controversial, the role of the nurse as an advocate is not yet clearly understood to many, “autonomy is the key concept in understanding advocacy, but traditional views of individual autonomy can be argued as being outdated and misguided in nursing” (Cole, 2014). As years go by, along with new developing techniques, a nurse needs to obtain an understanding of ethical principles in order to properly use the power of autonomy (Parker, 2007). Without education and a basic understanding of ethical models, a nurse’s portrayal of autonomy may end in mortality. Put into perspective, if a nurse received discharge papers for a homeless individual with an occurring condition, that requires treatment; it is up to that nurse to decide the circumstance in which to advocate or obey the doctor’s order, knowing this individual has used up their time at the
