The Decrease Readmissions and Infection Rates of Wounds Post-Discharge

The Decrease Readmissions and Infection Rates of Wounds Post-Discharge

The tool and procedure I will use is the routine physical examination, which is subjective in nature as I will inspect all patients who were with wounds. The process shall take a seventh two hours physical examination to all the participants who will be patients with such injuries. The following steps shall be used:

Step one: Inspect the degree of cuts of which were initial damaged  and identify the probability that can show  readmission again hence the patient shall be advised accordingly and will be given further advice on how to dress wounds  as well as treatment at his/her area of residence thus decreasing readmissions and infection rates of wounds post-discharge

Step two: Collect all the information through taking history whereby patient shall be asked the primary cause of such menace.

Step three: The next step is  in case of readmission, the history shall be obtained from the file and the discharge summary as well as the type of treatment which was offered initially and if possible the treatment can be changed, so that will be a basis to decrease readmissions and infection rates of wounds post-discharge (Borza et al., 2017).

Anonymous Participants responses are such as; recovery response from patients, some relapse especially if the wounds affect the bones and joints or affect part of the body where there is no sufficient blood flow.

The procedures of data collection in a step-by-step overview are; the subjective assessment which deals with patients’ evaluation of wound and history of health as the patients sees and objective evaluation. This where the doctor observe and measure the patient progress

The rationale for the procedure and data collection tool above is; it assists in identifying the necessity for care and the degree of the wound.

The data process collection in the step-by-step overview is; first, the subjective assessment which deals with patients’ evaluation of injury and history of health as the patients see. The data collected is usually made up of what the patients can recall about the history background of his/her cause of sickness.  If the patients can not be in a position to speak, then the parents, as well as close relatives, can offer some valuable information about the patient history of sickness. Also, in such situation, it is always good to document the name of the informer and their relation with the patient. The second step is an objective assessment. This where the doctor observe and measure the patient progress, and it should be an interview done one on one basis unless the patients are not in the position to express themselves. In this case, a close member of the patient or relative can do so on behalf of the patient (Borza et al., 2017).  Objective assessment can be subdivided into three parts such as; localize examination, vital signs and general appearances.

Specific information needed from target audience in order to develop practicum project are history information from the patient and physical exam.

A list of both content knowledge and demographic used to obtain needs of assessment are like; Age ranges I.e. (one day-one month), (one month-12months), (1 year-10 year) (11year – 18 year), (19 year-60), Gender i.e. Male or female, education level, occupation and class of people

Data from the target audience can be collected by questioner and interview. The patients will respond to the questions ask on one by one depending on the nature of the question

Barriers to data collection at agency are such as; language barrier, patients may be unconscious, confused patients, unwillingness of the patient to respond and ignorance of the relatives’ patient history
