NURS FPX 6612 Assessment 3 Using Client Records to Positively Influence Health Outcomes

The information collected from Marta’s records can positively impact her health outcomes. This can be done by developing personalized care plans based on the patient’s medical history, preferences, and previous intervention responses (Kasula, 2023). These care plans optimize healthcare services and enhance adherence to Marta’s treatment plan. Ultimately, her health improvement is manifested in the form of favorable health outcomes.

Additionally, analyzing Marta’s records will help identify health risks and potential complications early. This will enable proactive interventions to prevent the worsening of conditions (Wang et al., 2020). Enhanced sharing of relevant information from client records with patients encourages active participation in care treatments and empowers clients to make informed decisions about their health (Lyles et al., 2020). 

Interprofessional team members can share their findings from records in a unified EHR system to promote care coordination among all team members. EHR promotes a comprehensive view of a patient’s health status (Lyles et al., 2020). Additionally, they can conduct scheduled meetings or virtual conferences that allow team members to discuss their findings, share insights, and coordinate care plans.

Efficient communication channels within the HIT system will also facilitate the sharing of real-time updates about Marta’s health status. Moreover, establishing standardized protocols for recording information in Marta’s records ensures uniformity in data collection. This makes it easier for different team members to interpret and build upon each other’s findings (Boussard et al., 2020).

Underlying Assumptions and Well-Reasoned Conclusions

The analysis is based on several assumptions, including that collaboration among interprofessional team members is crucial for smooth care transitions, reduced hospital readmissions, and enhanced continuity of care after discharge. Additionally, it is assumed that HIT enhances coordination by reducing errors, preventing treatment delays, and increasing access to up-to-date information (Abraham et al., 2022). Furthermore, the assumption that data quality in client records is essential is warranted, as accurate or complete health information can lead to incorrect conclusions and negatively impact patient health outcomes (Moghaddam et al., 2019).

Conclusion

Marta, a student of freshman in college, happens to have a car accident and is under care at a trauma shock center. Her care transition for post-discharge care requires an interprofessional approach to reduce the risk of hospital readmission rates. Therefore, as a senior care coordinator, I suggest utilizing HIT to provide a patient-centered care plan that addresses critical issues such as the language barrier. Moreover, we can use client-specific data behaviors in multiple ways to improve care coordination, management, and clinical efficiency. Additionally, we can brainstorm ideas to craft innovative interprofessional approaches to meet patients’ unique health needs by using health information data. This information can improve her health outcomes as a continuum of care is consistently maintained.
