The goal of this solution based on the patient engagement framework is to discuss various informatics approaches for effective components/models of care considering patients as an active participant instead of just care receivers("HIMSS Patient Engagement Framework,"). However, we need to keep in mind that patients use multiple sources of information and media(Henwood, Wyatt, Hart, & Smith, 2003) and that there is no one set way to engage every patient. Let us understand what each specifies in the

Stomal therapy nurses are faced with many legal and ethical implications within their practice. In such a busy and autonomous role, stomal therapy nurses may not be fully aware of the legal, and ethical implications that do exist within their practice.

The doctor that I followed had a patient who had previously seen her before about issues with the nerves in his leg. He came to her and told her that he had seen many other doctors before

INTRODUCTION Throughout clinical I have faced countless new experiences. From performing new tasks to having two patients, the last two weeks of clinical have been nothing short of exhilarating.

It is important for transition of care programs to identify the cultural needs of their population so that they can better serve patient’s needs.

I remember my first day at Excelsis Root Canal Specialties. I was beyond scared and nervous. This job was my first full time position I have had. To be honest I, never really pictured myself working in the dental field. I was terrified of the dentist as a child. At that time, I was a newly divorced single mother of two who had just moved back home with her parents. I was going through a rough patch and needed a job to survive.
