Quality Of Life As An Outcome Measure: Political And Ethical Implications
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. Since the very first move toward humanizing the medical industry, quality of life has been a standard for measuring a patient's outcome.

Quantitative Nursing Research: Reducing Costs While Increasing Quality
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page proposal for a quantitative study addressing the effects that a primary nursing structure can have on nursing home costs while also achieving better patient outcome. All health care costs continue to increase despite managed care, regulatory insurer and individual efforts to halt the spiral. These cost increases have not spared the skilled nursing facility (SNF), which in fact has additional issues with which to contend. The ongoing nursing shortage has meant for SNFs that they have fewer RNs available to them and that recruiting and retention has become more costly over the past several years. The situation as it exists is expected to intensify in coming years as the baby boomers now approach retirement age. Primary nursing appears to offer a solution that can lower costs, increase quality of care and increase turnaround time in receiving payment for Medicare patients. Bibliography lists 13 sources.

They expect to be able to identify points during the process at which they can improve the process of supplying records to waiting patients. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
