An exploratory study was conducted to determine critical events for adult patients and verify that nursing students experienced in their programs. Sophomores juniors were surveyed regarding frequency of exposure events. reported greater differences between simulation clinical practice, with most simulation. Juniors more balanced events, both practice This information provides feedback on experiences, how use lessen the experience gap.
Abstract In this paper, we use game theory to understand decisions cooperate or compete in the delivery of public health services. Health care is a quasi-public good that often associated with altruistic behavior, yet it operates an increasingly competitive environment. With mounting regulation and changes privatization, arguments give way more rationales for market decisions. Profit not-for-profit institutions must address widespread needs while balancing lucrative markets against lesser...
Health care policy changes have ripple effects that touch many different areas of the health arena. Quality and safety are at forefront this discussion. In institutions, error reporting is expected to monitor improve patient safety. Procedures in place for errors. However, multiple barriers lead low use methods. Creating a system leads transparency could positively affect system. Introducing nurses beginning their educational experience reduction promote reporting. This article discusses...
