The use of coding schemes (such as ICD-9) allows for consistency in documentation between different healthcare providers. This allows for more efficient communication of a patient’s condition between different platforms within the healthcare system. Information gathered from coding systems is used for several purposes, such as determining reimbursement for services, statistical research and cost-benefit analyses, just to name a few possibilities. Part A1: Addressing the Challenges The health information management (HIM) supervisor in this scenario has been put in charge of assisting in the transition brought upon by the acquisition of a new clinic by the parent hospital. She must determine the most effective way to provide appropriate staffing for both sites, while possibly having to eliminate one of the coding positions to accommodate the change.
In this assignment, I will be describing the legislation and regulations, working strategies and procedures used in health and social care. I will also evaluate the role of multiagency working for safeguarding of vulnerable adults with reference to the legal frameworks, regulations, working strategies and procedures. Multi agency working is the process in which all the professionals and agency from different sectors such as nurse, doctor, social worker, therapist, and dietician work together for the same desired goal. They work together to provide effective and appropriate care to the individual. For example, if a client has diabetes and has depression then there will be involvement of different professional to guide him.
The Occupational Therapy field will allow me to work in a variety of settings such as hospitals, clinics, and schools. The ages of the clients vary from pediatrics to geriatrics. My goal as an Occupational Therapist is to enable clients to have an independent, productive, and fulfilling life. The clients I will be involved with will have many types of personalities and psyches. Many of the clients and their family support will struggle with their emotions due to their injury, disability, or mental health status.
I will also discuss a several barriers/challenges to implementing person-centered care in nursing homes, and in addition to person-centered care practices mentioned in the article, I will identify two other examples of person-centered care practices. Patient-centered care is a term that we hear many times now in hospitals but what does it mean in terms of nursing homes. Author Mary Jane Koren explains that the "ideal" facility would feature several key features. “Resident direction, this means, residents would be offered choices and encouraged to make their own decisions about things personally affecting them, such as what to wear or when to go to bed. A Home like Atmosphere the facility will be designed to be less institutional and more homelike.
We encounter and provide care to a variety of patients and among them are the minority, underserved, and disadvantaged patients. They are the patients who need a voice and a guide to navigate them through the complex United States healthcare system. One of the important roles that we, as nurses performed are as cultural brokers to help bridge the gap and enhance communication between patients and the complex healthcare system. According to Wenger (1995), cultural brokering is a health care intervention through which the professional increasingly uses cultural and health science knowledge and skills to negotiate with the client and the health care system for an effective, beneficial health care plan. As cultural brokers, nurses also facilitate understanding of the patient’s beliefs with that of the other healthcare providers involve in the care.
v Vulnerable Population and Self Awareness Paper The vulnerable population represents the identification of a need and an attempt to Address that need. The issue of vulnerable population in health care can be examined on multiple levels. By definition, all consumers in health care are vulnerable; that is the potential for harm or injury is almost always present. Patients rely on the providers and the delivery system to meet their needs with honesty and equity, delivering the best care possible that is safe, effective, and ethical. The nurse often does represent the patient in need and may be an advocate for the patient and their care.
1. Discuss the role of the nurse when collecting a comprehensive nursing health assessment. A nurse’s role is a complex and unique function and a fundamental part of a Multidisciplinary team.

Assessment is a systematic process using a rational method of planning to identify a patient’s health and any actual or potential problems that need to be met and to provide interventions to meet those needs.
How quickly dementia progresses vary greatly from person to person.” (Alzheimer`s Society, 2013 p.2.b.)

The quality of care would be monitored by a series of inspections in health settings such as care homes, hospitals, GP surgeries and many other health organisations. The responsibility of the Care Quality Commission is to recognise where effective care is being carried out and the areas in which improvements can be made. This would be a continuous cycle that changes according to whether relevant laws are put into place and the experiences of service users. The CQC set a standard of quality and safety that service users should expect when receiving care off health organisations. The standards of quality and safety would change according to the health care providers roles due to them providing different cares e.g.
