Please start with this paragraph or make it better. Implementation Unnecessary Visits to Emergency Department Discussion
Improving Discharge Procedures to Reduce Unnecessary Emergency Department Return Visits Unnecessary return visits to the emergency department are a problem that most healthcare facilities face across Florida and other states. Unnecessary return visits are indicators of poor care quality. The purpose of this project is to help healthcare providers better communicate with patients and thus, better achieve patient understanding of post-discharge instructions. The proposed intervention is to implement a discharge checklist tool that enables patients to document their understanding of discharge instructions by marking and answering questions about the discharge instructions packet.
The practice facility site is a stand alone emergency department which was converted into a COVID-19 swabbing center due to the low census in acutely ill patients . This patients were sent out to the Hospital Emergency Department for management and treatments.
****** continue talking about the implementation that has been going on slowly due to COVID-19. And many things have changed******
*****Here some information of the implementation. I need all my wording to be changed and talk about without changing the meaning of the project. The professor will use turnitin for plagiarism and is not accepting repeated work***** Implementation Unnecessary Visits to Emergency Department Discussion
The implementation was initiated with proper emergency department (ED) discharge training on how to utilize the discharge checklist tool proposed. It begins after a patient has been discharged. During the discharge, the electronic medical discharge or record system enables the specialist to determine the patient’s preferred language, add a diagnosis that prints out education material regarding etiology, treatments and enough material well-inform the patient about their current condition. The next step would be to add treatment antibiotics, among others. This will include information of the prescribed medication and the pharmacy for medication pick up. After finishing this step, the discharging nurse or doctor and the patient choose with whom the patient will follow-up a specialist or primary care clinic before scheduling an appointment. The effectiveness of this intervention will be manifested in service delivery improvement. The participation of all nurses employed at the practice site is required in training class sessions. However, due to COVID-19, we are unable to provide in-person classes. Training will be provided electronically with PowerPoint presentations and a session via the Zoom meeting app. Doctors and mid-level providers will invited but not required due to their busy agendas. But, information will be provided to the medical director for sharing with them. The implementation strategy will be a presentation and training of the appropriate ways for discharging patients and how to utilize the new discharge checklist tool. The DNP student will send an invitation email to participate with multiple dates of Zoom meetings offering. The training will be initiated for the use of discharge checklist in Zoom meetings by providing and discussing PowerPoint presentation that includes pre- and post-test evaluations. No personally identifiable data will be collected. The de-identifiable data collected to email to employees will be delivered to the emergency department manager on a password-protected google spread sheet. The information will be securely stored until project implementation is finalized.
****please also mention that I’ve been working closely with my faculty mentor which is aware of project delays due to COVID-19 *****
