Slide 1
NHS FPX 6004 Assessment 3: Policy Implementation Training Session
Good day. I’m XYZ. My presentation at the training session for policy implementation today will be centered on addressing the underperformance benchmarks of Mercy Medical Center. Establishing rules, regulations, and processes is essential for any healthcare facility that wants to offer the greatest medical care. Additionally, policy and practice regulation will be prioritized in order to improve the standard of care given to people with diabetes. The roles of stakeholders and how to collaborate with them effectively will also be covered in NHS FPX 6004 Assessment 3.
Slide 2
Diabetic Management Policy
Effective communication and solid interpersonal relationships are essential for the plan to succeed. The leadership team will have an easier time connecting with the training’s target audience if a manager is present. When a group of individuals or a person contributes something in return, they are participating in a buy-in process. Nurses feel that they can help healthcare achieve its goals and have a stronger belief in it if they have a positive working connection with management (H Herman et al., 2023). Staff members will be more likely to support the program if managers or leadership teams successfully teach them the required skills, values, and learning styles during the training session. This is because they will be able to immediately apply the knowledge to patient care.
In order to surpass the diabetic benchmarks, Mercy Medical Center will implement the American Diabetes Association requirements. The ADA states in NHS FPX 6004 Assessment 3 that the hospital will perform a foot examination once a year and HbA1c tests twice a year.
While technology is suggested to monitor glucose levels and assist nursing staff training, patients are encouraged to receive diabetes self-management training as part of the policy implementation. According to Boer et al. (2022), the following are the best methods for nurses to treat diabetes:
• People between the ages of 35 and 70 need to be screened for type 2 diabetes and prediabetes.
• Eating healthily and exercising. It is advised to use self-management techniques that encourage a healthy diet and exercise.
- Identification of risk factors, such as those who are overweight or obese.
Slide 3:
Need for Policy
Patients with diabetes require the HbA1c and foot screening tests because they can potentially improve their quality of life. According to NHS FPX 6004 Assessment 3, MMC has to improve in several areas. It is important to note that nine out of ten people with prediabetes are not aware that they have the disease. Pandya et al. (2020) predict that the total cost of a diabetes diagnosis in the United States in 2017 would be $327 billion. Therefore, lowering the cost of diabetes medicine and self-monitoring equipment must be the goal of any effort to improve healthcare indicators during the policy and implementation process (Pandya et al., 2020).
Slide 4:
Evidence-based Approaches to Dealing with a Specific Role Group
Health care professionals employ evidence-based ways to enhance their daily practices, according to NHS FPX 6004 Assessment 3. To find the best practices, healthcare professionals might examine a variety of sources. These are peer-reviewed papers from various journals and websites about clinical experiences. MMC will provide diabetes treatment and prevention
training to educate and empower medical staff, including physicians, nurses, and hospital support workers (Hills et al., 2022).
According to NHS FPX 6004 Assessment 3, it could be beneficial to incorporate the staff’s compassion and upbeat demeanor into their procedures. Effective team leaders are also able to coach, facilitate, and coordinate. Effective leadership can increase the healthcare workforce’s productivity during implementation of the policy., Collaboration will improve decision-making. Each individual may critically evaluate their strengths and faults when they work as a team. These measures performance, make improvements right away, and create long-term goals (Rodriguez et al., 2022).
Slide 5
Impact of a New Policy and Practice Guidelines
The implementation of ADA laws and regulations should improve the Hb A1C test and foot exam rate. By adhering to the policy’s standards, the medical staff can identify, prevent, and treat patients as needed. Blood glucose self-monitoring, or SMBG, offers reliable data for medical decision-making. According to NHS FPX 6004 Assessment 3, staff workers will be able to work fewer hours if they receive technological training. Patient education strategies that emphasize self-management will encourage self-management and lower the high expenses associated with ER visits for diabetes treatment. The hospital governors can form committees or task teams to offer a framework for implementing the plan. These committees or groups may include the division or department that deals with chronic illnesses (Kimura et al., 2022).
Policy’s Effect on Daily Tasks and Role Group Duties
When putting policy into practice, regulations and procedures act as a guide for how healthcare workers should carry out their duties on a daily basis. They facilitate internal
operations, guarantee legal compliance, and offer information on decision-making. Resolving patient issues is less stressful and time-consuming when formal procedures and guidelines are followed. There is evidence to support the claim that nurses are handling more administrative duties associated with diabetes treatment as part of their regular work (Kumar et al., 2022). Patients with diabetes may benefit from nurses’ reminders to alter their lifestyles and become more involved in their own health management. According to NHS FPX 6004 Assessment 3, nurses teach patients how to keep an eye on their blood sugar and weight every day. They also suggest trustworthy websites for self-help techniques.
Slide 6
Importance of a New Policy and Practice Guidelines
In order to reduce the likelihood of both immediate and long-term consequences, guidelines were created to improve the health of people with diabetes. They also provide the fundamental information that diabetes education programs must include. The set of guidelines provides a toolkit that doctors may use to help people with diabetes maintain their health. They might also aid in identifying the areas that need more study and planning. Professionals may find the toolkit useful in developing their ideas for patient care. The goal of the guideline is to improve diabetes mellitus patient outcomes and care. Early diabetes diagnosis and load management can be achieved through the use of HbA1c screening and patient foot screening tests. Patients can actively manage and treat their condition by using self-management approaches (Hicks et al., 2022).
Significance of Role Groups in Implementing New Policy
In the majority of circumstances, nurses will be responsible for providing treatment and patient education to control diabetes, even if doctors may create a diabetic care plan. It will be up
to the board members and the diabetes department manager to determine the best reporting setup and procedure. Involving nurses, patients, and their families in the creation and execution of policies will empower them, according to NHS FPX 6004 Assessment 3. The policies and practices to be used in the care of diabetes will be chosen by the doctors, nurses, and key administrative staff. Feedback from clinicians and staff will be needed for the process. After that, nurses can gain more knowledge about managing diabetes patients by physically attending training sessions (Defeudis et al., 2022).
Slide 7
Training Session Learning Activities
A review of the evidence, active listening, lectures, presentations, dialogues, role-playing, demonstrations, and field studies are just a few of the many other learning strategies that can be employed. To evaluate the learning, tests were given on the knowledge acquired both before and after the session. The purpose of the two-hour diabetes management training course was to equip medical staff with the knowledge and abilities necessary to assess blood glucose levels using glucometers and to educate patients about the signs, causes, and treatment of diabetes. Regarding policy and implementation, most respondents expressed satisfaction with the training’s overall goal, content, and structure. The interactive approach of teaching by simulation gave the students a realistic learning environment (Brown et al., 2022). The healthcare team’s efficacy in improving patient satisfaction can be increased by this simulation-based training. The participants engaged in a discussion of the typical symptoms and indicators of hyperglycemia in a clinically simulated setting. We used high-fidelity simulations and standardized patients as educational tools, and both had a positive impact on nursing students’ ability to learn. Additionally, we involved the stakeholders (Khatib et al., 2022).
Slide 8
Conclusion
Diabetes prevention and management require workplace policies that support lifestyle programs that emphasize physical activity and a balanced diet. By supporting dietary and lifestyle education, nursing staff members can play a significant role in the treatment, management, and control of diabetes. According to NHS FPX 6004 Assessment 3, Stakeholders will help turn assessment results into actionable data by offering practical insights, pertinent recommendations, and assistance on how to successfully contact target consumers.
