Assignment: Selfinterested Judgments
NOW FOR AN ORIGINAL PAPER ASSIGNMENT:Assignment: Selfinterested Judgments
Microsystem: The structural unit responsible for delivering care to specific patient populations or the frontline places where patients, families, and care teams meet (Nelson, Batalden, Godfrey, 2007).
Moral Agency: A person’s capacity for making ethical judgments. Most philosophers suggest that only rational beings, people who can reason and form selfinterested judgments, are capable of being moral agents.
Multidimensional Care: Relating to or having several dimensions; it speaks to the fullness of the patientclinician experience, but also to people’s lives in general. Spirituality is one of those many dimensions.
Nurse Sensitive Indicators: Measures of processes and outcomes—and structural proxies for these processes and outcomes (e.g., skill mix, nurse staffing hours)—that are affected, provided, and influenced by nursing personnel, but for which nursing is not exclusively responsible (National Quality Forum, 2003).
Outcome: Broad performance indicator, related to the knowledge, skills, and attitudes, needed by a baccalaureate graduate.
Patient: The recipient of nursing care or services. This term was selected for consistency and in recognition and support of the historically established tradition of the nursepatient relationship. Patients may be individuals, families, groups, communities, or populations. Further, patients may function in independent, interdependent, or dependent roles, and may seek or receive nursing interventions related to disease prevention, health promotion, or health maintenance, as well as illness and endoflife care. Depending on the context or setting, patients may, at times, more appropriately be termed clients, consumers, or customers of nursing services (AACN, 1998, p. 2).
Patientcentered Care: Includes actions to identify, respect and care about patients’ differences, values, preferences, and expressed needs; relieve pain and suffering; coordinate continuous care; listen to, clearly inform, communicate with, and educate patients; share decision making and management; and continuously advocate disease prevention, wellness, and promotion of healthy lifestyles, including a focus on population health (IOM, 2003b).
Population Health Interventions: Actions intended to improve the health of a collection of individuals having personal or environmental characteristics in common. Population health interventions are based on populationfocused assessments.
