Nursing Professional

Nowadays Latvian nurses work in health care institutions, or are self-employed, providing independently patient care, participating in treatment, managing patient care work, educating patients, their family members, care team members and society. Modern nursing qualification is equal to the international level. To reach this level it was necessary to reform nursing professional development (education, registration, re-registration and introduction of nursing certification), which took place during the first ten years of Latvian restoration of independence.

The same occurred in the period from March 2020 until June 2020 in the micro-region of the Sertões de Crateús, Ceara. Results: The nursing professional plays an important role in guiding the entire population, especially pregnant women, who are at risk and are still attending the unit with certain frequency. Under this bias, health education in times of pandemic has focused on preventive measures against the SARS-Cov-2 virus. Conclusion: In this way, the strategy used qualifies as a useful instrument with easy access and that generates impacts on the population.

The Way

Summary Objectives: This article aims to search for the way patient care information systems can be most fruitfully put to work in health care. Methods: Given the calls for improved health care quality, there is a need for IT’s coordination capacities in health care. Yet IT’s track record in this area is less than many expected. Moreover, many argue that the nature of health care work sets natural limits to the possibilities of IT to revolutionize this work. Starting with an analysis of the paper record, this article explores the way IT and professional work can be interrelated synergistically. Results: Two principles are discussed: 1) The key to a fruitful operation of IT in health care work lies in the unraveling of the care process, and the redistribution of tasks between professionals and the IT application. 2) Professionals should be given the skills and resources to adapt the IT application’s demands to the needs of their work practices. Conclusion: IT can bring true process support to health care when taking the two principles discussed here into account.

There are a multitude of reasons that a teletinnitus program can be beneficial, not only to the patients, but also within the hospital and audiology department. The ability to use technology for the purpose of tinnitus management allows for improved appointment access for all patients, especially those who live at a distance, has been shown to be more cost effective when the patients travel is otherwise monetarily compensated, and allows for multiple patient's to be seen in the same time slots, allowing for greater access to the clinic for the patients wishing to be seen in-house. There is also the patient's excitement in being part of a new technology-based program. The Gulf Coast Veterans Health Care System (GCVHCS) saw the potential benefits of incorporating a teletinnitus program and began implementation in 2013. There were a few hurdles to work through during the beginning organizational process and the initial execution of the program. Since the establishment of the Teletinnitus program, the GCVHCS has seen an enhancement in patient care, reduction in travel compensation, improvement in clinic utilization, clinic availability, the genuine excitement of the use of a new healthcare media amongst staff and patients, and overall patient satisfaction.
