...Advanced nursing Scientific Merit Paper
This paper will analyze Doekhie and coworkers’ 2018 research work titled “The different perspectives of patients, informal caregivers, and professionals on patient involvement in primary care teams. A qualitative study”. This analysis will entail an evaluation of how the research work contributes to scientific knowledge and research theory, its dependability and credibility, approaches to deal with any ethical concerns relating to the research, and how the researchers applied different techniques of inquiry.
Advancement of the scientific knowledge base
The research work adds to the literature on the subject through examining the issue of patient participation in the health-related decision?making process in the course of primary care team interactions with patients and their informal caregivers within the primary patient care setting. Here, patient participation is no explicitly established idea; instead, the concept is coproduced using interactions and discussions of primary patient care practitioners, reciprocally, with patients and their……

The Use Of Clinical Systems To Improve Outcomes And Efficiencies
...Advanced nursing Literature Review
The Use of Clinical Systems to Improve Outcomes and Efficiencies: Special Focus on Patient Portals in Diabetes Management
Patient portals come in handy in seeking to promote the access that patents have to their personal healthcare data. Of relevance on this front could be patient lab results, doctor notes, prescriptions, billing, the relevant information regarding the next appointment, etc. It is also important to note that in some instances, patient portals do permit patients to actively communicate with their healthcare providers. Thus, from a general perspective, patient portals could be described as online tools designed to promote the health and wellbeing of patients by offering patients access to their personal health information (Sun, Korytkowski, Sereike, Saul, Li, and Burke, 2018). In essence, there is need for a reliable internet connection for patent portals to function as intended. At present, patient portals continue to be widely utilized by healthcare……

Cross Training Staff For COVID 19
...Advanced nursing COVID-19 or the novel coronavirus is a respiratory illness that has developed to become a global pandemic in the past few months. The rapid spread of the illness in different parts across the globe has disrupted people’s lives resulting in the emergence of the idea of a new normal. Healthcare organizations like the World Health Organization (WHO) have developed health and safety protocols to help curb the spread of the virus. The disease has caused significant disruptions in clinical and non-clinical environments including business settings. Societies across the world can no longer afford to keep their everyday activities on hold given the devastating impact of the virus. As a result, the establishment of suitable measures to curb the spread of the virus while carrying out daily life activities in normal life has become critical. One of the measures that could help achieve this, particularly in the business environment, is cross-training……
