...Health Care Provider and Faith Diversity: Peer Review Ryan J. Bartholomeo Grand Canyon University Spirituality and Christian Values in Health Care and Wellness April 25, 2013 Health Care Provider and Faith Diversity: First Draft Knowledge and acceptance are one of the two most important factors when discussing the diversity of faith expressions and belief systems of patients as a health care provider. For this assignment, I decided to research Christianity and one other diverse faith group; interviewing said friend about her faith, Naturalism. In the health care industry, health care providers whose spiritual beliefs differ from their own personal beliefs are a common issue. Learning how to appropriately and respectfully handle each individual’s diversity and faith or belief system is of the upmost importance within the health care industry. Interview Assessment Analysis When conducting my interview with my close friend, Asyia Aanandi, asking a wide range of questions on her faith was required for further assessment; furthermore, the best way to incorporate Asyia’s beliefs of a Naturalist toward her philosophy of providing care from the perspective of her faith. Asyia Aanandi’sAanandi spiritual beliefs are that of a Naturalist, believing in only one single notion; Homo-sapiens feel, think, and act on, due to “chemical reactions” inside ones brain and body. Naturalism is the belief that as humans, acting on...

...person. In addition, when a patient endorses spirituality as an important factor in life, then no materialism or any other needs would complete the aspect of the spiritual need.

This paper shows how one can develop a survey tool to assess the spiritual needs of a patient and also analyzes the interview experience. Questions including the achievement of the interview and strategies that could be changed to make it a better experience are answered in order to enable the healthcare worker attend to the patient spiritual needs.

Part of the interview is the description of the home health department, the type of work done within this department, and some specific information that makes this department unique to other facility in medical care industry. The interview will provide a springboard to take a closer look on the primary responsibility of the provider, the department’s customer, the career path to this point, and the required training, preparation, and education for this field of work. Additionally, to understand how this department fit in to the broader context of health care industry, the discussion explores the interviewee’s role and compares the home health positions in other organizations. Home Health Nursing is primarily a Long-term component of Health Care Delivery Systems. According to Austin, A. and Wetle, V. (2012), “The term LTC (Long-Term Care) means providing health care services to an individual for more than 90 days. LTC includes hospitals, assisted living and community-based residential facilities, adult day care, respite care, hospice care, rehabilitation centers, mental health facilities… and care provided by family and friends” (p. 9).

...medicine. With this information, healthcare providers must ensure that all aspects of the patient’s care inclusive of the body, mind and spirit are addressed. Healthcare personnel provide care to a culturally and religiously diverse people. Healthcare personnel must take this diversity into account. This paper will examine three less known faiths- Buddhist, Hindu, and Islam and compare them with Christianity and discuss their differences and commonalities. This paper will discuss the findings and the insight the author has gained through a series of interviews with the people of these three religions. Faith Diversity and the Healthcare Provider: Final Draft Introduction Patients’ emotional and spiritual needs are not disengaged from the patients’ physical and physiological needs but are considered an integral component of their recovery. There is evidence in medical literature that suggests a strong relationship between spirituality and medicine; a survey conducted shows ninety-five percent of Americans believe in God and research shows that forty percent of patients feel that physicians should discuss pertinent religious issues; however only eleven percent of physicians do (Anandarajah & Hight, 2001, p. 81). The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare (JCHAO) has acknowledged that patients “psychosocial, spiritual, and cultural values affect how they respond to their care” (Clark, Drain, & Malone, 2003,...

This research will attempt to verify the impact of the mentioned crucial factors on the Healthcare delivery in India through an empirical research and provide some assessment of the deficit in access to health services through structured integrated way called the Gaps Model of Service Quality which will take into account significant gaps identified & suggest methods to close the gaps. These suggestions will be used to make recommendations towards a 10 year incremental National Health Plan. 1. Theory & Hypothesis The 3 areas that we intend to include into our study of the healthcare landscape are – 1) Public Policy 2) Insurance 3) Healthcare Information Technology Systems (HIT) a. Hypothesis 1: Favorable National Health policies will have a positive impact on the quality of healthcare delivery The principal challenge for India is the building of a sustainable health system.

...Nurse Leader Interview Paper Uchenna Enewally University of Phoenix NUR 587 February 25, 2013 Breta Lieke, RN, MSN, NE-BC Nurse Leader Interview Getting a chance to interview a true nurse leader is not easy as many attempts to get an appointment fail. Nurse leaders have very busy schedules because of their organizational roles and finding time to grant a quality interview about their leadership style is slightly out-of-the-box for their daily routines. Interviewing a nurse leader is even harder when the interviewer is working from a remote area in Africa and has to do the interview by phone. The interview must take place so when finally MK, the Patient Advocate/Patient care services of St. Francis Medical Center consented and gave the interview, it became possible to report the personal in-sight of a good nurse leader. This interview report is a summary of MK’s perspectives on her leadership style, changes made because of evolving leadership role, challenges faced as a leader in today’s health care system and the effects of formal and informal power in the organization. Summary below are her answers to the questions asked by the nursing graduate student presenting this report. Leadership Style MK started at the organization in 2004 as the patient advocate manager to improve the customer satisfaction rating and advance the image of the hospital in the Los...
