    Post 1 Tonya
    In regards to diabetic patient education, it is very important that patients know the signs of symptoms of hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia. What are some common s/s the nurse should educate the patient about?
    Post 2 Tiffani
    Moving forward, I think it’s important to reeducate the patient on the signs and symptoms they are experiencing hypoglycemia so that hospitalization isn’t the first option. Teaching the client measures to take in response to manifestations of hypoglycemia will help manage complications at home and potentially prevent it from occurring more often. I would educate the patient on the signs of hypoglycemia: mild shakiness, mental confusion, sweating, palpitations, headache, lack of coordination, blurred vision, seizures, and coma. She should understand the difference when glucose is declining slowly, that manifestations will relate to the central nervous system and result in headaches, confusion, fatigue, or drowsiness. The patient should be reminded of what to do to avoid hypoglycemia. Avoiding excess insulin, exercise, and alcohol consumption on an empty stomach, and eating about the same amounts and at the same time periods daily can help keep blood sugar levels in good range. (ATI, 2023)
    Post 3 Dina
    Diabetes education to the patient is paramount in helping the patient better manage their diabetes. Nutrition and a healthy diet are necessary to maintain optimal health. Carbohydrates are the only food group that converts to sugar, or glucose, in your body, increasing blood sugar, and should therefore be monitored closely (Chester, et al., 2018). Some examples are pasta, soft drinks, juices, bread, rice, and potatoes. Making changes can help maintain lower blood sugars and help lose weight. Providing a list of appropriate foods to choose from could help the patient and encourage the patient to keep a food log. Keep a blood sugar log and try to check your blood sugars with a glucose monitor before meals and at bedtime. If you’re instructed to take insulin this step is necessary to know how much insulin you should inject before your meals. One of the main goals of diabetes maintenance is to exercise regularly, such as walking for 20–30 minutes at least 3–4 days a week (Chester, et al., 2018).  “Insulin sensitivity is increased during exercise, so muscle cells are better able to use any available insulin to take up glucose during and after activity. When muscles contract during activity, the cells can convert glucose and use it for energy whether insulin is available or not. These benefits, plus the effects of the possible weight loss, can assist in normalizing blood sugars” (Chester, et al., 2018).

  • “Implementing Effective Risk Management Strategies in a Healthcare Organization: A Case Study Analysis” Title: Risk Management in Health Care Organizations: Implementation, Compliance, and Application to a Specific Incident “Effective Risk Management Strategies for Healthcare Organizations”

    Write 6 pages analyzing a specific issue that occurred in a health care organization. Apply risk management best practices to it for the purpose of early risk identification and risk reduction or elimination in the future.
    Expand All
    Introduction
    Health care organizations have always searched for ways to identify and reduce risks. An organization’s ability to identify and analyze its risk exposure is a determining factor in the effectiveness of its risk management program (Hoarle, 2015). Early identification and analysis are essential.
    Current health care risk management practices developed in the mid-1970s as a result of a surge in malpractice suits. These suits caused rapid increases in claims costs for the industry, which later resulted in increased insurance premiums. Today, health care delivery systems and organizations realize the value of risk management and have developed formalized programs (Hoarle, 2015). In addition, organizations have established mechanisms to review potential incidents of risk and safety concerns (Pelletier & Beaudin, 2018). While risk management programs are responsible for daily management and risk operations, all health care stakeholders are responsible for participating in activities that will reduce unnecessary risks and improve safety and quality (Hoarle, 2015).

    Preparation
    To successfully complete this assessment, use the Risk Management Policy & Procedure Template [DOC] to address the following:
    For part 2 of this assessment, you will conduct an in-depth analysis of the organizational risk you selected from the Vila Health: Patient Safety simulation.
    Review the Risk Management Policy & Procedure Template [DOC], which you will use to complete your assessment. This document is formatted and has space for completing all components of the assessment.
    Instructions
    Part 1: Risk Management Policy and Procedure (3–4 pages)
    As the new risk manager in your health care organization, your director has assigned you the responsibility of drafting the organization’s risk management policy and procedure. This assessment stemmed from your director’s perception that employees lacked knowledge and awareness of risk management’s contribution to furthering the organization’s safety and quality improvement efforts. Likewise, your director also saw evidence that departments within the organization were inconsistently applying risk management principles to their daily work practices.
    The guidance you have received from your director about writing this policy and procedure is that it needs to include all of the following headings. It also needs to answer all of the questions underneath each heading:
    Purpose Statement:
    How can a risk management program help this organization advance its strategic safety and quality goals?
    Key Risk Management Terms:
    What is the definition for each of these risk management terms?
    Risk prevention.
    Risk reduction.
    Regulatory compliance.
    Patient safety.
    Adverse event.
    Near miss.
    Risk Categories and Risk Identification Techniques:
    Discuss 3 of the 5 following health care risk categories, as well as their corresponding risk identification technique:
    Financial.
    Human capital.
    Clinical.
    Strategic.
    Legal/ethical.
    What risk management strategies will the organization use to identify potential organizational risks? Be sure your narrative identifies and describes such risk identification techniques as concurrent, retrospective, incident-reporting, and previous trends.
    ​Note: These are only a few of the risk identification techniques to address in your policy and procedure. Be sure to include other examples you are aware of from your professional experience or from your readings.
    What are some specific examples of risks and their appropriate corresponding risk identification techniques? For example, coding errors are a type of financial risk. Retrospective auditing is the risk identification technique used to identify this risk type.
    Risk Manager’s Role in Program Implementation and Compliance:
    What is the risk manager’s role in risk management program implementation and compliance?
    How can a risk manager impact the effective management of the organization’s risk management program?
    What is one example from the literature that shows how the risk manager role can positively impact a health care organization’s management of its risk management program?
    Part 2: Application of Risk Management Principles to a Specific Incident (3–4 pages)
    To further help employees and the organization at large see risk management’s contribution to helping the organization achieve its safety and quality goals, your director has asked you to analyze and apply risk management principles to a recent incident that occurred in the organization. Your director has asked you to include all of the following headings in your analysis and to address all of the questions underneath each heading.
    Risk Description: Provide an overview of the risk including a description of the risk, implications to patients, and risk management strategies.
    Which potential risk to your organization from the Vila Health: Patient Safety simulation are you analyzing? These include a patient identification error, a medication error, and a HIPAA/privacy violation.
    Risk Implications: Propose evidence-based risk management strategies and techniques to identify and eliminate or reduce a particular risk.
    What are the risks to the patients, employees, and organization if this particular risk is not addressed? In other words, what could happen if the organization chooses to do nothing?
    Risk Reduction/Elimination: Propose evidence-based risk management best practices or strategies to identify and eliminate or reduce a particular risk.
    What evidence-based risk management best practices or strategies could the organization employ to eliminate or reduce the risk in the future? For example, if you plan to identify the risk by analyzing incident report data, would you conduct a drill down to determine what is causing the risk? What other best practices might you employ? Consult your suggested resources for guidance on best practices for eliminating and reducing risk.
    What steps would you take to implement your plan to eliminate or reduce your selected risk?
    Importance of a Risk Management Program: Explain the importance of a risk management program to health care organizations.
    Why is a risk management program important to an organization?
    What are some important elements of a risk management program?
    What is the organizational impact of not having a risk management program?
    Please review the Risk Management Policy and Procedure Scoring Guide to ensure you understand the grading requirements for this assessment.
