Matterhorn Health Persuasive Speech

I am writing this memo to let you know that Matterhorn Health is going to replace the malfunction devices in the very short time. As you have already heard, that we are facing the complaints from the customers and physicians on the performance of our new product, GlucoGauge that we have launched several months ago.

Ordering 10units of soluble insulin for a slightly raised blood glucose level of 8.4mmol/L (Mistake).

At Yale New Haven on the medicine floor SLA 4, the nurse manager identified the need of education on both the hyperglycemia and diabetic ketoacidosis protocols. The nurses and doctors were not aware of the steps outlined in the protocol that needed to be followed. There have been several incidents across the hospital of orders not being correctly prescribed by physicians and nurses following through with these incorrect orders, therefore seriously effecting patient outcomes. Specifically on SLA 4 there was a recent incidence of a patient coming off of an

This change and improvement in the scanning rates has caused a consistent decrease in the rate of medication errors per 1,000 patient days from 0.74 in July 2015 to 0.23 in October 2015, and 0.24 in November and December 2015. The nursing leadership team, with clinical nurse input, will continue to identify system weaknesses that can be improved to limit overrides by the nursing staff; such as identifying medications that do not scan, or are lacking a

Remember yesterday our conversation over the phone when you help me with the question about the claims in Cerner and on that conversation I mentioned that I'm working with Highmark health options claims from Ezclaim. Well yesterday I start transferring all the claims that we still have the 2ndry portion pending to be paid by the payer and I nototice that transfer all this claims information to CERNER when we receive the primary payer payment already is a lot time consuming b/c we need to enter all the claim information plus all the EOB information from the primary Insurance so this proccess is a lot to do specially when the patient had more than one claim. I was thinking all night How we can get this process more easier to get it done and get results more faster.

Although, mistakes can best be prevented by designing the health system at all levels to make it safer to make it harder for people to do something wrong and easier for them to do it right (Andell, 2015). Developing and testing new technologies to reduce medical errors on a large-scale demonstrates projects to test safety interventions and error-reporting strategies (Andel, 2015). The barcode scanning system had a great impact on lowering the odds of an error reaching the patient. Additional things found in the study, that there were wrong dose, omissions, and communication errors that were considered as a “common error”. Overall, medication error rates decreased when there were pharmacist on duty at least 40 hours or more a week, and having the barcodes system support (Cochran et al.,

Byline: Isn’t it accomplishing knowing that an incurable disease will not shorten your life span? Diabetes may be a chronic, silent killer but with the correct diet and lifestyle, it doesn’t have to eat your life away.

The equipment is also very important as if it is not in working order or if not calibrated ( the blood glucose monitor, testing strip and lancet) the reading will be faulty. Well trained staff should manipulate the equipment in accordance with the standards.

Good morning, everyone. I am Patricia Simmons, the CEO of Matterhorn Health. Thank you for coming to this press conference today. As we know Matterhorn Health was receiving some trouble reports a few months ago from doctors and patients related to unexpected high inaccuracy rate on our new device, GlucoGauge blood glucose monitor. Those reports revealed the blood glucose levels which more than expected results. This inaccuracy rate was up to 30% in the “hypo” zone, or zone of blood glucose readings from 40 – 80 mg/dL. The FDA regulates the inaccuracy rate should not exceed 20% while American Diabetes Association allows the inaccuracy rate should not exceed 10%. Given the inaccuracy rate on our pre-release field testing was only 10%, we take this problem very seriously to make sure our customers,

My father, Doug Hibbs recently lost his job from a private company where he worked as a result of complaining about the healthcare system. He's also put on probation. Here in Canada,we do have the right to free speech.

The primary objective of this project is to find out the impact of an elevated BG level in the development of SSI in the postoperative diabetic patients and to prevent the SSI. To achieve this goal, the BG levels of these patients need to remain within the normal limits (Boreland, Scott-Hudson, Hetherington, Frussinetty & Slyer, 2015). The proposal consists of four steps. The first step is to educate the postoperative diabetic patients about the significance of tight glycemic control and monitor their BG levels (Sehgal et al., 2011). In the second step, the discharge nurse will provide a BG monitoring record to all the discharged diabetic patients who had surgery. The nurse will instruct these patients to perform

Medication errors are the most frequently identified error that occurs in healthcare settings. To minimize these potential errors the five ‘R’s were put into affect. They include, right patient, which can be done by nurses checking their patient’s wristband, or asking name and date of birth. Right drug, the

Obesity is becoming a more common phrase when speaking about the American lifestyle, but many people don’t actually know

The case study performed by the Journal of Emergency Nursing found that there are several factors that can affect the accuracy of blood sugar testing, and whether it is effective to use the first drop. In cases where patients’ hands are washed with soap and water before providing the sample, there was little significant difference between the value of the first and second drop. If a person does not have washed hands, and there is a possibility of dirt or glucose present on the fingers, the second drop is going to be more accurate (Palese, 2016). There is also a concern that “the first drop could contain more interstitial fluid … dilution of the first drop of blood with
