Healthcare Reporting Analysis: Evaluating Health Service Techniques

This report provides a comprehensive analysis of contemporary health service techniques, focusing on data from 76 mental health institutions. It evaluates various aspects such as inpatient diagnosis times, individual care plans, medication management, and unplanned readmissions. The analysis highlights inconsistencies and irregularities in performance, emphasizing the significance of healthcare reporting for resource allocation and policy improvements. It also touches on the differences in approach between Baccalaureate and Associate Nurses in emergency situations, particularly in cases of Ischemic Stroke. Furthermore, the report addresses the issue of nosocomial infections, their impact on healthcare costs, and the increasing antibiotic resistance. The report underscores the importance of understanding both the strengths and weaknesses of a country's healthcare system to make informed investments and improvements.

According to the report, the total number of organizations for the selected category
submitting data for this set for First Half 2016 is76. The report covers the aggregate rate for these
organizations. The findings indicate various inconsistencies and irregularities in performance
(Bhutta et al., 2013). Other important aspects include the law and consumer regulation,
marketing, and sales practices. The report covers various outstanding elements. For instance it
covers the number of inpatients allocated a diagnosis within 24 hours of admission (Boyle,
2017). The number of inpatients separations with an individual care plan, which is constructed
and regularly reviewed with the consumer, is outlined in the report. The following analysis
examines health reports of 76 mental health institutions (Boyle, 2017). The beat touches on the
policies, resource allocation, and economics together with other aspects like business, finances,
and diseases.
Understanding the failures and successes of a country’s healthcare system helps it to
become prepared to invest in areas that have massive shortcomings and improve on their areas of
strength. Healthcare expenditure takes more than 15% of the country’s budget (AACN, 2011).
High costs of treatment affect everyone regardless of their economic class. Moreover, it looks at
the number of inpatients with a complete documented physical examination within 48 hours of
admission (Astoyants et al., 2016). Another element covered is the number of inpatients on ≥ 3
psychotropic medications from 1 sub-group category at time of discharge. The report compounds
the number of inpatients who assault twice or more in an admission (Australian Nurses
Credentialing Centre, 2016). It finally looks at the number of unplanned readmissions within 28
days of separation.

The highest numerator given in the report is 197 representing the Number of inpatients
separations with an individual care plan, which is constructed and regularly reviewed with the
consumer (H) (Astoyants et al., 2016). The same institution forms an aggregate rate of 92.4%,
which is the largest percentage aggregate in the report. Inpatients on ≥ 3 psychotropic
medications from 1 sub-group category at time of discharge (L) form a numerator of 124 and the
smallest percentage aggregate on the report (Bhutta et al., 2013). The second highest numerator
in the report is 183 representing the Number of inpatients allocated a diagnosis within 24 hours
of admission (H). The Number of inpatients who assault twice or more in an admission denoted
by the letter (L), form the smallest numerator on the report (Corte et al., 2012). The Number of
inpatients separations with an individual care plan, which is constructed and regularly reviewed
with the consumer (H), forms the largest negative excess events.
According to the report, nursing institutions attract both qualitative and quantitative
significance. Health care reports are some of the most essential tools in any heath care setting
that not only offer information about healthcare performance of the nation but also offer
solutions for distribution of healthcare resources. When a patient experiences an Ischemic
Stroke, it means a blood clot in one of their veins prevents the blood from flowing to the brain
thereby causing a part of the brain to begin to die (Boyle, 2017). The nurse needs to increase the
pressure of the blood flow to the brain for the blood to be able to flow through the clot. Without
forces circulation of blood to the brain the surrounding areas might as well die. A significant
difference in behavior between the Baccalaureate prepared nurse and an Associate Nurse lies in
how they respond to emergencies (Boyle, 2017). While the Associate Nurse takes instructions
from the physician about how to approach such a complicated situation, a Bachelor’s nurse

understands the internal structure of the brain and can interpret the CT scans and recommend the
right medication for the condition.
From the report, it is possible to see that most of the cases of mental health take place
within the hospital environment. Nosocomial infection is a type of disease that takes place
according to the specific place, for instance, the hospital environment. Nosocomial infections are
a term that is used at the same time as Healthcare Acquired Infections and Hospital-acquired
infections. The disease must not have been present before the person acquired the virus. The
current medical world presents a complicated scenario where there is more resistance to
antibiotics by the bacteria compared to the past. At any given time out of every 25 patients, one
has a health care related infection that poses a significant threat to their health. These kinds of
diseases do not only affect the lives of the patients but also raises the cost of healthcare by
increasing the level of medical needs. Surgery and catheter-related infections are primary leaders
in the level of hospital infections.
