AAPACN members only. Denise Winzeler discusses how the director of nursing in a nursing home can improve the odds that they will never need to ask “Why in the world did my staff member say this?” and “Why did my staff do that?” when reading the Statement of Deficiencies and Plan of Correction from the survey team. #longtermcare #nursinghome #snf #directorofnursing https://lnkd.in/eJVx58W4

TRIVIA THURSDAY! What is the definition and example of a nursing diagnosis? Per NANDA International – Defines the nursing diagnosis as a clinical judgment concerning a human response to health conditions/life processes, or a vulnerability for that response, by an individual, family, group, or community. A nursing diagnosis provides the basis for selection of nursing interventions to achieve outcomes for which the nurse has accountability. An example of a nursing diagnosis is ineffective health maintenance. #nurse #ot #pt #doctor #Legalnurseconsultant #Casemanagement

Reduced RN staffing increases stay length, readmission and death risk: Study reported by Ashleigh Hollowell, M.S. Becker's Healthcare: "Supplementing gaps in nursing staff with lower-wage personnel like licensed practical nurses or aides can increase patient risks of readmission, death, longer stays and lower satisfaction, according to a study published June 10 by American Public Health Association - Medical Care Section. "The study, led by researchers at Philadelphia-based University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing, found that the outcomes of 6.5 million Medicare patients at 2,676 general acute care hospitals across the U.S. are worse even with modest substitutions for #RN care. "A 10% reduction in RN staff raises the risk of patient deaths by 7%, according to the study. Readmission rates associated with a 10% reduction in RN staff were also found to make up about $68.5 million in avoidable costs paid by #Medicare." #Nursing https://lnkd.in/dVhwQYV7

'Those people aren’t smart enough to be trusted...' Last year, at a gathering of fellow nurses, someone directed that statement at me. We were convened to learn how to educate and empower Ohio nurses in shaping state policy and legislation. Amid discussions on tackling the staffing crisis, I delved into the role and potential of Medication Aides (MA-Cs) in Ohio's acute care facilities. A bit of context: In 2006, non-nurses were authorized to administer certain medications in nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and residential care facilities. What began as a pilot program soon expanded statewide by 2009. Yet, since then, progress in reevaluating and expanding the scope of medication aides has stagnated. All that said, the current staffing shortage is much more nuanced than numbers. Its complexities cannot be solved with such a narrow solution. Still, I proposed exploring tangible, quick-turnaround solutions to gauge their impact on acute care. After presenting this idea, I was pulled aside and told “It’s a great idea but won’t work. Those people aren’t smart enough to be trusted with our patients.” Do we assess patients' value based on age or their care setting? This incident showed me we still have a long ways to go in nursing. It shed light on a prevailing mindset for some nurses—a mindset entrenched in outdated paradigms, viewing the world through cracked lenses and taped bridges, desperately clinging to keep them together. It’s time for a new prescription. #nursesonlinkedin #nurseleadership #paradigmshift #nursestaffing #localgovernment #empoweringpeople #solutionfocused American Nurses Association American Organization for Nursing Leadership ANA-OHIO National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) Ohio Board of Nursing National League for Nursing American Academy of Nursing National Center for Assisted Living National Association of Long Term Care Administrator Boards

The cost of long-term care is a major issue for the vast majority of U.S. seniors. Most cannot afford services and supports, let alone nursing care, for any extended period of time (6 months or more). I looked at his dynamic in detail, here: https://lnkd.in/gBq9EsWR
