Professional Nursing Practices Regent College

This project is based on the Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care (ACSQHC)  leads and coordinates the national improvement and quality in health care. They worked on three core principles which need to be understood properly so that better and effective assessment of practices used to take place which are: care required to be consumer centred, information used to get driven and organised for safety. In this regard, a major thing get done for the National Safety and Quality Health Service (NSQHS) standard which is associated with clinical governance, partnering with consumers, preventing and controlling healthcare-associated infection, communicating safety etc. All these standards need to be followed up in a better and signified frame by ACSQHC so that better and more effective delivery of care can be done.

This project will include the information and considerations associated with clinical activity as well as risks and potential problems defined by such standards. Along with this, it will also be going to describe the improvements which could be done by the ACSQHC while performing operations.

Critical Discussion

Quality and safety in the Australian health care system

On the basis of Black (2016), a healthcare system is one where various services with appropriate quality standards are used to get provided to an individual so that they can recover in the earliest time frame. Australian care system used to follow some standards which facilitate and enable in provision of effective quality standard services. Nurses need to understand all such associated standards properly so that they can become able to manage their work in such a defined area world.

However, such standards, also have to focus on appropriate quality standards and safety under such standards. It signifies clinical governance where care individuals have to provide and reflect better services to each and every individual. This will result in signify and gain better-suited outcomes and care under which their standard of living could be improved.   The present topic is associated with communicating for safety where care individuals used to gain better services and provide training to them so that their safety could be enhanced better. A health care centre includes a certain number of individuals clinicians, nurses and other health care professionals. Thus, if inappropriate information used to take place in communication then chances of bad quality standard services used to take place. Hence, for ACSQHC it is essential for them to maintain and implement communication in safety concepts properly so that effective delivery of services to target care users is possible which enables and supports earlier recovery.

As per the viewpoint of Cherry and Jacob (2016), if standards could be placed in health care then nursing staff need to understand them in a proper manner so that safe and appropriate services can be delivered to care patients. This gets done when communication takes place in a definite hierarchy. As per the aspect of LoBiondo-Wood and Haber (2017), a structured communication care process needs to take place in a better and more suitable frame so that all relevant patients will get better and define services as per their cause. It is also important for communicating the safety that all essential records could be related to patients so that beneficial attributes could be drawn in a long-term perspective. Thus, all such essentials are required to be understood by professional nurses when they start working in  ACSQHC so that this defined standard could be reflected better in consideration and enhance working practices which further assist in providing beneficial services as well (6 COMMUNICATING FOR SAFETY, 2017).

According to the viewpoint of Chism (2017), a care provider has to ensure patient care throughout the entire system used to take place so that recovery and other essentials can be done in a better manner. This defines that with effective and beneficial consideration of delivery of services, better care services used to get provided which further enables in defining the things better as well as effective assessment of services used to take place.

On the consideration of Keyko and et. al. (2016), communicating the safety standard enables and facilitates determining things better and more appropriately so that effective and better understanding can be achieved. Communication enables protecting of the rights of all individuals so that effective security is used to get done in a design manner. ACSQHC have to understand and estimate this fact better so that they can define appropriate and suitable considerations in nature.

Risks or impact of low-quality care with improvements

As per the viewpoint of Manojlovich and Ketefian (2016), care quality matters most for an individual so that they can improve their health in a better frame. The risk which is associated with lower quality standard service is that things do not go well properly as well as individual health gets impacted most. Communication is defined as major barrier while delivering of services to an individual. Hence, to deal with this risk factor, management needs to be concerned with their work better. Nurses have to deliver and determine the potential harm by not providing and facilitating an appropriate communication chain and then need to deliver quality standard services. Lack of communication could be improved when each and every aspect becomes able to better coordinate.

As per the viewpoint of Moran, Burson and  Conrad (2016), the policies of a company are required to be defined in a better frame by senior management under which better working coordination could be done. In health and social care services, nurses need to understand and define policies and aspects so that they can facilitate and deliver effective standard services and care to individuals. A professional nurse is one whom have better engagement with new standards and policies in the health care section so that appropriate delivery of services will take place.

As per the standard of  National Safety and Quality Health Service (NSQHS) standard of communicating safety for  ACSQHC describes that professional nurses have to be aware of all ethical standards properly so that they could become able to manage their work and provide better health care services. This will result in reflecting beneficial gains to all individuals so that chances of derivation become possible. This potential risk can be improved when proper training before recruitment is provided so that the organisation's internal policies and external systems can be understood in a definite frame which further enables in providing of effective signified services to individuals.

On the basis of Morton and et. al (2017), confidentiality is a major thing which needs to be understood by an individual in health care so that chances of duplication of services can be reduced. Another potential risk of lower quality services could be when health care records are not being inspected properly.  It is really important to determine health care records in a better frame so that effective absolution can be done in a structured manner. This is also described in the National Safety and Quality Health Service (NSQHS) standard which is required to be understood and estimated by  ACSQHC in order to deliver better quality services.

On the basis of Regan, Laschinger and Wong (2016), better coordination is a key to success and sustainability through which appropriate healthcare services could be provided. In health and social care practices, quality assurance is a major thing which could be ensured when all associated data are estimated for an individual. This requires better coordination among all divisions so that better and more effective delivery of services gets done. As the standard of  National Safety and Quality Health Service (NSQHS) standard of communicating safety enables and signifies that things required to take place in a better manner so that effectiveness and efficiency in services are maintained. Appropriate coordination and cooperation support in the delivery of quality standard care to all care users so that effective assessment of working gets imposed. This will result in appropriate recovery of an individual which enables them to gain a secure environment of living.

As per the viewpoint of Tourangeau and et. al (2016), a clinical care system is a must in each and every health and social care setting so that better and more appropriate understanding can be achieved in a defined frame. There is a need for appropriate communication among the clinical care team so that appropriate and considerable services get delivered. It is another derivation of potential risk where the clinical team might not understand their work due to a lack of appropriate communication. This potential harm required to get improved in a definite frame so that they could define effective consideration. A clinical team of  ACSQHC have to understand their roles and responsibilities better and communicate them in a derivative frame.

Thus, for Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care (ACSQHC) has to determine all such potential risks and problems which could arise due to lack of communication.  Henceforth, suitable steps need to be estimated so that effective and better delivery of services take place.

Process and outcome of data as per clinical care

A clinical care team need to understand about major potential harm for an individual so that they can work in an appropriate and suitable manner. It is really essential to estimate some data regarding harm due to communication in safety standards lack of presence so that better derivation of information could get done.

(Sources: Improving Patient Safety Systems for Patients With Limited English Proficiency, 2018)

On the basis of this definite image which enables and supports in determining the risk cause due to lack of communication ( Improving Patient Safety Systems for Patients With Limited English Proficiency, 2017). Here, one of the major problems is the language barrier. A clinical team in Australia might speak English but certain individuals could not become able to speak English properly which facilitates and creates potential problems among them due to the language barrier. This language barrier means that things will not be used to take place and get done properly. Thus, this problem has to be better understood by the clinical team so that they can maintain effectiveness and efficiency in their work. This limited English Proficiency prevents and restricts them from communicating with the team properly creates hurdles and is defined as a major potential risk to security.

Another barrier to communication in safety standards in Australia is cultural barriers and factors. Sometimes, some individuals belong to different cultural frames where values and norms also vary from each other. This culture barrier requires understanding properly so that effective and appropriate assessment of communication gets restricted. This needs to be understood by the clinical team properly so that they can treat individuals as per their cultural values and norms. This is to support reducing the frame of cultural barriers so that effectiveness and efficiency in providing services could be achieved.  

CONCLUSION

It is concluded from the project that professional nursing practices are an essential aspect which facilitates managing and making factors better and more effective in nature. A Professional nurse is used to deliver better services by compiling their work with all associated standards and factors. This will result in proclaiming better and more effective delivery of services. There are various standards underpinned per the National Safety and Quality Health Service (NSQHS) standard out of which communicating for safety standards is essential and supportive in frame of reference. Thus, there are various scholars provided their own views and aspects regarding quality and safety in the Australian care system. This will facilitate and enable us to manage things better and properly. Along with this, certain risks and problems also get evaluated which need to be resolved through effective recommendation.
