Assessing the Problem; Patient, Family, or Population Health Problem Solution
The role of nurses in helping patients manage the chronic disease is vital. This concept of self-management is often associated with providing education to patients for following the interventions and strategies to improve their wellbeing. Hypertension is an excellent issue in the United States, with about 47% of people suffering from mental health and hypertension issues per year (Fisher, 2018. The need for self-management is vital in hypertension management because nowadays, nurses and their administrators use many technological applications and robust software to provide online services to patients. The purpose of this task is to address the patient care issue related to hypertension and devise a strategic plan to help the patient’s self-care and self-management of his mental health problem.
Role of Leadership and Change Management Strategies
Nurses’ ability in leadership roles is to inspire and impact the lives of people and patients to work collaboratively. The nursing profession needs leaders desperately, which is still a new role in the world. Since hypertension condition is a psychological severe issue in many patients, therefore, a robust patient teaching plan to combat the symptoms and consequences of hypertension that relates to cardiovascular diseases and many other mood and physical problems is vital. The goal of the educational leadership is to engage patients with nurses and allow them to gain new insights to improve the self-manangemetn of hypertension.
The specific patient Mr. Hassan was suffering from chronic hypertension for the past four years and was at a risk of stroke and heart attack. Without the use of any smart app, nurses devised a plan to use telehealth solutions to treat the hypertention issues. Using these novel technologies is also advised by the American Heart Association for proper mearuement of blood pressure and heart rate (Wu & Song, 2018). Therefore, these details are vital to consider for nursig leaders in order to imrove the quality outomes in an increasingly complex healthcare environment. In order to cope with the increased demands of hypertention patients, nurse leaders used EHR and smartphone technologies to streamline workflows.
The American Nursing Association ANA also recommends that use of videoconferencing; using these innovations as interventions and tools across healthcare settings will help to improve their profession. The role of a nuring leader is to become a role model for others; this includes communicating effectively and honoring the principles of justice and leadership (Rippe, 2019). The qualities of a good nursing leader such as excellent communcaiton skills, creating healthy culture, and innovation is vital for achieving goals. Nursing leaders should also rely on conflict management and negotiation to improve the hypertension self-management.
Moreover, nursing ethics also impact the outcomes of patients to solve the care-related issues such as hypertention. The most effective care paradigm for using telehealth for hypertension self-management is to use communication systems and observe patients’ autonomy. This means that informed consent and privacy and confidentiality are vital ethics that ensure patients’ rights to refuse medications or any other form of fearful psychotherapy intervention. Moreover, nurses should use telehealth apps to obtain medical information including observations and radiographic data and also should never share the data with any unautthorized third parties. These ethics and leadership strategies will impact the care coordination outcomes and will help nurses to find a better solution to patients’ problems (Rabi et al., 2020).
Proposed Intervention
I have proposed an intervention of teaching plan presentation for the selected patient. The teaching plan will be focused on patient portal and smart apps usage along with life style modification for HTN self-management. Posters and presentation will also be used for patient education regarding the use of patient portals.
