Best Practice Recommendations

The function of a health promotion brochure is to present information to the community on different topics with the intention of improving the health and well-being of individuals through the implementation of health education. In order for a brochure to be effective, the message must be clear, precise, and totally understood by the individual. Some health promoting brochures can provide incentives to maintaining wellness promoting behaviors. Brochures outlining strategies for preventing diseases such as diabetes can provide information to attain a stable lifestyle. The information however, has to be properly presented to get

The “Health for All by the Year 2000” movement was developed by The World Health Organisation with the aim to promote health and provide an improved quality of life worldwide (WHO 1986b). The World Health Organisation later developed a set of standards for delivering health promotion. These standards state that patient’s must be provided with information on important issues regarding their illness or condition and health promotion interventions should be recognised in all service users care pathways. The standards also necessitate that every hospital has a written procedure for health

In my every day practice, though I work with a different patient population, the results of this study show the applicability of health education for family and patients in improving health outcomes. Even with health topics other than diabetes, health education is pivotal to improve knowledge, self-management, and patient compliance. With adequate knowledge in disease processes, patients can make better choices, maintain their health, and adequately prevent complications. Though the demographic aspects will be different, the outcome achieved in this study would remain relatively similar.

Disease prevention should be the center thoughts to everyone and more specifically the healthcare providers. The nurses and the nurse practitioners should promote a preventive measure to all patients that they have seen on a daily basis. We as NPs should be proactive in promoting health care promotions in the community that we are living. “Increasing the focus on prevention in our communities will help improve America's health, quality of life and prosperity” (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2014, 2). Promoting health care promotion requires some sort of good strategic to attend many people possible. One of the best ways the healthcare professionals can promote their patients how to prevent themselves from certain types of disease

Explain three reasons why it may be necessary to adjust your message depending upon age, community, and potential literacy levels of your target audience

Answer: As a part of a high-reliably organization, I am committed to 200% accountability and safety as the number one goal. Over the past year as an Informaticist, I have consistently advocated for patient safety and safe workflows. As an example, a new staff endocrinologist made a request to update the Insulin Basal Bolus Correction order set that was not evidence-based. I met with the endocrinologist to review the current practice guidelines per America Diabetes and Endocrinology Associations. During our discussion. the endocrinologist did not realize that there was the ability within the order set to make the desired changes to individualize the care and orders

Health promotion can be accomplished in various environments. Schools can be utilized for education purposes. Films, brochures, lectures, and class discussions can be routes of teaching about nutrition, hygiene, heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, and abuse. Health departments can distribute pamphlets concerning the importance of vaccinations and preventive strategies against sexually transmitted diseases. Hospitals and medical clinics can conduct health fairs that offer free blood pressure evaluations and cholesterol screenings. They can also educate the public about the serious signs and symptoms of a heart attack, stroke, dehydration, and heat exhaustion.

Due to the Americans with Disabilities Act being passed recently, there are many improvements that need to be made concerning social policy and individuals with developmental disabilities. A best practice for practitioners working with this target population would be a person centered approach. Falon et al conclude, “The aging service system has adopted the disability community’s ingrained philosophies of self-direction, person-centered planning, and participant- directed services” (p. 22). This can be considered the best practice approach because many individuals with developmental disabilities may lack control over their personal and professional lives. By using a person centered intervention planning technique the practitioner respects

Best practice strategies are a methodology or technique that, through experience and research that have been done in the past, has proven to be reliably lead to a desired result. A commitment in using best practice can be implement in any field by using all the knowledge and technology at one’s disposal to secure objective. From Bogan (Bench marking for Best Pratices,1994) it can be defining that best practice are used to sustain quality as an alternative to mandatory legislated standards and can be follow on self-assessment or benchmarking. It means that through all of the strategy that have been conducted or research in the past will be evaluate which have been given the best result. Thus, a new or best practice will be conducted to replace

The quest for “best” practices in health care involves implementing available evidence into practice. Despite growing bodies of evidence, moving evidence from peer-reviewed journals and guidelines into practice remains challenging. Efforts have shifted from focusing on methods for rigorously synthesizing study results into practice recommendations and improving guideline quality toward implementation. We are only beginning to recognize processes involved, and many interventions need additional study. There is still limited understanding regarding what approaches are effective in what contexts (Brouwers et al., 2011; Grimshaw et al., 2006; Kitson et al., 2008).

The development of the prominence on persons ' active partnership in health care has occurred simultaneously with the public 's requisite for comprehensible effective consumer health resources. Consumer health information has the potential to give strategies and frameworks for developing operative health communication tools, which empower consumers and refine their health decisions. This article provides an overview of the user’s health information aspect discussing various promising approaches as regards to health communication, while acknowledging challenges in access of information, and the direction towards future development of health information. Moreover, different sources of health information that influence the public and how this

The yield expected from successful human resource management (HRM) or development (HRD) differs greatly depending on where the organisation is based, its’ culture, resources, size and socio-economic climate. Therefore, it is imperative that the development and delivery of improved human capital via HRM is rooted in the needs of the organisation rather than opting for an ‘off the shelf’ closed option such as ‘Best Practise’ or high performance work practices. Theorists have yet to settle on a definitive model for best practise, which itself suggests a certain degree of flexibility is built into the interpretation of what it could be. Here lies the first contradiction to the pro best practise argument as these rigid principals are yet to be

Health promotion aims a wide range of targets at different levels in the community. The huge benefits resulted from health promotion and disease prevention efforts make many realize that this domain of health care is worth to be invested in. The focus is shifted evermore from the medical to the preventative approach, from treating the disease to avoiding the onset of it.

While not universally age-related, as some people reach old age they begin to suffer cognitive deficits which may affect learning. When designing online communication tools such as a patient portal, certain factors need to be considered if older patients are going to be successful in their use. Studies tend to show that older patients make more mistakes than younger patients when using computers and computer accessories such as a mouse and keyboard. Browsing for, locating, and retrieving online information can be difficult due to decreased cognitive and perceptual abilities. These changes can strongly affect an older person’s ability to navigate the Internet (Xie, 2003).
