Moral Dilemmas And Ethical Decisions

Moral Dilemmas And Ethical Decisions

Working in an emergency room gives rise to ethical dilemmas. Due to time restraints and the patient’s cognitive impairment and lack of medical history, complications can and do occur. The nurse has very little time to get detailed patient information. He or she must make a quick assessment and take action based on hospital protocol. The organized chaos of the emergency room presents unique ethical challenge, which is why nurses are required to have knowledge of ethical concepts and principles.Create a 15-minute oral presentation (3–4 pages) that examines the moral and ethical issues related to triaging patients in an emergency room.

 

By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:

Quality Improvement and Patient Safety Initiatives

Quality Improvement and Patient Safety Initiatives

 

The vice president of nursing, Dr. Sasha Mendez, has had a lot of complaints from patients and their families about the difficulties they experience navigating the system at her organization; e.g., going from the E.R. to admissions. Dr. Mendez’s nursing specialty area is psych/mental health. As such, she is very concerned about the stress this is causing the patients.

 

What are the macro systems that are affecting patient satisfaction at Dr. Mendez’s facility? What micro systems should she also analyze to look at how the patient moves through—from entry, to possible admission, to possible discharge? How do these systems relate? What impacts each system?

 

The concepts presented in Week 8 serve as a foundation for this week as you continue to look at factors within an organization’s environment that are barriers and facilitators for implementing change. In this Discussion, you examine the macro and micro systems within the organization (of your practicum setting) and identify changes that may need to take place to facilitate quality improvement and achievement of patient safety outcomes.

 

To prepare:

 

Reflect on the issue you have been addressing      through your EBP Project.

 

Identify the macro and micro systems that      influence the issue. Review the McClusky and Middleton (2010) article for      an example of this process (See attached file).

 

Determine the desired outcomes of resolving the  EBP Project issue and how resolving it will improve quality and patient     safety. (Note: Next week you will evaluate these outcomes. You may      want to view the Week 10 Discussion as you prepare.)

 

What procedures/processes would need to be      modified to achieve the desired outcomes?
