Critical analysis of recognition and response to deterioration in your health care system
Intent:To critically analyse the resources and systems in place to aid in the recognition and response to acute physiological deterioration and/or deterioration in mental state in your workplace and/or other parts of the health care system related to your specialty.
****Important
Workplace Environment is New South Wales Healthcare. Registered Nurse YEAR 3 Working in Acute Care General Medicine Please Follow NSW HEALTH POLICY.
Objective:
Thisassessment task addresses subject learning objectives:
1. Evaluate how a patients acute deterioration in physiological, cognitive, and/or mental state, is recognised promptly and escalated appropriately.
2. Critically compare current systems, technology and processes that are used to support and promote detection and recognition of acute deterioration.
4. Analyse the importance of self-care, personal and team well-being when working in complex and stressful situations.
5. Explore appropriate activation of Rapid Response Systems for patients for whom resuscitation measures cannot achieve acceptable outcomes or preserve dignity.
Type:Work-based assessment of systems and processes for recognition and response to acute deterioration in healthcare services
Description:Describe and discuss the types of resources and systems in place to aid in the recognition and response to acute physiological deterioration and/or deterioration in mental state in your workplace and/or other parts of the health care system related to your specialty.
***Important
Discussions will include:
A brief description of your workplace (including what services are delivered and the general structure of the service (including support and referral chains)
An description of the systems and processes that are in place in your health service to promote patient safety and/ or assist in recognition and response to deterioration in physiological or mental state (at least 4)
An analytical review of those systems and processes that are in place (at least 4) to promote patient safety and/ or to assist in recognition and response to deterioration in physiological or mental state in the healthcare system in which you work.
This analysis must include:
A discussion using evidence-basedliterature or best practice guidelines to support the use of these systems or processes in the workplace.
A review of how these systems are monitored, audited, improved.
A discussion of any barriers to appropriate recognition and response to acute deterioration in your health system (system issues, human factors issues, issues with non-technical skills etc) and a suggestion of how these barriers could be addressed. You must discuss at least one of these barriers and your choice should be supported by evidence-basedliterature.
******Imp When critically evaluatingrelevant recognition and response systems and processes in your workplace. Include at least:
How well do they meet the requirements for recognition and response systems?
What standardised communication tools are used?
How well are the systems implemented, monitored, and reviewed?
Are they supported by good Governance?
How are staff and patients supported after an adverse event?
Do they support person-centred care?
Use evidence-based literature (EBL) to support your arguments.
When addressing barriers to the recognition and response to deterioration in the workplace
consider the potential risks to the safety of your patients (systems issues, human factors issues, issues due to non-technical skills etc)?
Discuss improvements you might suggest to your Quality and Safety Manager to minimise these risks and improve patient safety in your hospital/health care service?
Use EBL to justify your workplace risks and suggestions for improvement.
