Describe The Effect Of Extremely Low Birth Weight Babies On The Family And Community

Topic 1 DQ 1

In the United States, nearly 500,000 infants, or 11.7% of all live births, are born preterm (<37 weeks’ gestation) each year. Preterm birth and the sometimes associated prolonged newborn hospitalization are great family stressors, and can lead to subsequent family dysfunction.

All preterm infants are at risk for re-hospitalization, as well as medical and neurodevelopmental complications, even moderate to late preterm infants (born at 32 to <37 weeks’ gestation) . A particularly challenged sub-group is very low birth weight (VLBW) infants or those born < 1500 g. More than 90% of VLBW infants are discharged home from the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). The burden of continued health and developmental problems faced by these infants is substantial. For example, compared with normal birth weight children. VLBW children face a 2–3 fold greater risk for visual and hearing impairment, speech delays and attention disorders; may have poor feeding and growth, respiratory complications, and face neurocognitive difficulties.

Families of children with birth weights less than 750 g experience more long-term adversity than families of full-term children. Family sequelae are also present for children with very low birth weight at high neonatal medical risk. Ongoing child health and behavior problems may be the major source of these sequelae, and sociodemographic status is an important consideration in identifying family adversity. Although many families appear unaffected, results support the need to monitor family outcomes and develop interventions for both the child and family.

non-Hispanic white women

Filipino, Asian Indian and non-Hispanic black women had the highest incidences of low birth weight, from 6.8 to 7.6 percent of births. Chinese, Korean and non-Hispanic white women had the lowest incidences, from 3.4 to 3.7 percent of births. Considering the effect of birthplace within racial and ethnic groups, Asian women born in East Asia, non-Hispanic black women from Sub-Saharan Africa, and non-Hispanic white women from other developed countries all had lower incidences of low birth weight than women of those racial and ethnic groups born in the U.S.

Being a teen mother (especially younger than 15) or being older than 35 makes you more likely than other women to have a low-birthweight baby. In the United States, black women are more likely than others to have a low-birthweight baby. The rates of babies born with low birthweight each year among different ethnic groups are:

  • About 1 in;
  • 7 black babies (about 13 percent)
  • 12 Asian babies (about 8 percent)
  •  13 American Indian/Alaska Native babies (about 7 percent)
  •  14 Hispanic babies (about 7 percent)
  •  14 white babies (about 7 percent)

Cause And Effect Fishbone

Cause And Effect Fishbone

Why can’t admitting remember to change these patients to pre-admit so that we can see the information. From the emergency room in their electronic record and view their current medication?” the scribe complained to the cath leb nurse. “ I will never understand why it is so difficult to get cath lab. Patients transferred from an ED patient to pre-admit.” The scribe stops trying to record patient. Information in the electronic health record. And calls the admitting department. The scribe is so frustrated because admitting has not updated the patient type listed in the electronic health record.

acute myocardial infarction

This patient was seen a few minutes ago in the ED for an acute myocardial infarction. The patient had come into Western States Hospital with a chest pain. An EKG was ordered for the patient and the EKG showed that the patient had a STEMI. Once this diagnosis was made, the patient was emergently transferred to the cath lab. Although the electronic health record used by the facility has many features that allow care providers. To access necessary patient information, the system has a few issues. The issue that caused the most headaches in the cath lab was the fact that the cath lab. Personnel could not view important patient information or chart new information. Until the admitting department changed the patient type from ED to pre-admit.

Although there was a way to override the system to view the necessary information, this process was also concerning. Charting within the system was not possible even with the override, and there had been some instances where the. Latest information from the ED was not in the system if the system had been overridden. Time frames were also problematic. Quality measures and reporting requirements necessitate accurate times. “ Door-to-balloon times” are an important reporting measure. Without the ability to chart in real time, the time of arrival to the cath lab and the time the vessel was opened are not accurately reflected in the system. As Western States Hospital collects data to determine how long it takes cath lab staff to open a vessel once the patient is in the cath lab, the report is showing that it happens very quickly, it almost seems like the average time is unrealistic.

acute myocardial infarction

The procedure in the cath lab is that a scribe or technician is responsible for developing everything that happens during the encounter. Without the ability to document directly into the electronic health record, the scribe or technician sends precious time contacting admitting and documenting the encounter on paper. This information must then be transferred into the electronic health record or “back charted.” At Western States Hospital the scribe calls the admitting clerk and states,

“ The patient from ED room 5 is here in the cath lab and patient type is still set at ED. You do realize that I cannot do my job when you do not do yours, right? Why can’t you admitting clerks figure out how to get these patient types changed faster and do your job so that I can do mine?” The admitting clerk responds, “ I have been busy taking care of other patients and didn’t realize this was your patient that was taken to the cath lab. I do have other patients to take care of besides the one that you have in the cath lab.

Just override the system so that you can view the information until I get the type changed,” to which the scribe states, “ Truly you don’t understand the ramifications of what your job entails and the problems this can cause the patient. Just make the change. Now!” The patient type is changed and the technician is now trying to document what has happened to this patient in the cath lab from memory.

Information Governance Principles for Healthcare (IGPHC)™

2 AHIMA

PREAMBLE Complete, current, and accurate information is essential for any organization in the healthcare industry to achieve its goals. Adoption of an information governance program underscores the organization’s commitment to managing its information as a valued strategic asset. Governance of clinical and operational information:

■ Improves quality of care and patient safety ■ Improves population health ■ Increases operational efficiency and effectiveness ■ Reduces costs ■ Reduces risk

Information governance helps manage and control information by supporting the organization’s activities and ensuring compliance with its duties. Drawing from definitions of Gartner and ARMA International, AHIMA defines information governance as an organization-wide framework for managing information throughout its lifecycle and supporting the organization’s strategy, operations, regulatory, legal, risk, and environmental requirements. Information governance establishes policy, prioritizes investments, values and protects informa- tion assets, and determines accountabilities for managing information, making it an imperative for healthcare. It also promotes objectivity through robust, repeatable processes insulated from individ- ual, organizational, political, or other biases, and then protects information with suitable controls. By following information governance principles, organizations conduct their operations effectively, while ensuring compliance with legal requirements and other duties and responsibilities.

Healthcare as a Unique Information Environment

Trust plays a critical role in healthcare delivery. Patients entrust their personal information to healthcare organizations, creating distinct requirements for confidentiality, privacy, and security. These organizations, regardless of their roles in healthcare, must earn the confidence of patients and society, through a firm commitment to ethical and responsible handling of personal information. Embedded in trust is the expectation of information integrity, which depends on the completeness and correctness of data.

Heightened focus on integrity to ensure confidence in information is demanded by the nature of healthcare, changes in care delivery and payment models, the increasing adoption of electronic systems, and the importance of reliable information exchange. Healthcare organizations have an obligation to define uses of information and to define the policies and practices for governing use of the information.

This includes protected health information, personally identifiable information, de-identified and anonymized information, aggregate and detailed information used to satisfy mandatory or voluntary reporting purposes, operational needs, secondary uses of data/information, and other uses based on the role and mission of the organization. Research is fundamental to advancing the science of medicine. New guidelines, protocols, treatments, interventions and wellness insights, all developed through research, are essential to elevating population health. Research, whether focused on clinical care, delivery systems, or payment models, depends on trusted information.

“ Trust plays a critical role in healthcare delivery.
