Re:Topic 1 DQ 1

 

The Scientific Management movement occurred with theorist Frederick Winslow Taylor. Taylor’s philosophy focused on the belief that making people work hard as possible was not as efficient as utilizing how the work was performed. According to Leading and Management book the scientific management theory is “based on the idea that there is one best way accomplish a task” (Yoder-Wise, 2011). Scientific Management states that all humans are motivated by money and that there should be separation between management and workers (Lecture 1, n.d).  This leads to management making decisions without input from employees and employees just doing what they are told.  This was believed to be the best and most productive way to manage. 

 

I have worked as a hospice nurse case manager out on the field and it can be very challenging at times. One of the things I saw inefficient while working out on the field was the lack of communication between per diem, on-call staff, and the assigned nurse case manager. Unfortunately, there was a time when I worked for a hospice company that did not supply per diem staff with computers. This problem would make it very hard for the assigned case manager and the per diem staff. The per diem staff was unable to retrieve records of the client and the assigned case manager was unable to know what was addressed or done with the client during the visit. The per diem staff failed to leave nursing notes in the client’s chart making it difficult once again to know what was assessed at time of visit. The per diem staff also had difficulties knowing what medications the client was on because it was prohibited to leave a medication list at the client’s home and the per diem nurse didn’t have a computer. The hospice company failed to include the per diem staff for regular interdisciplinary meetings that would have helped address many nursing problems.

 

I have worked for a couple of different hospices and I see progress being made. Currently the hospice I work for incorporates mandatory interdisciplinary bi-weekly meetings with the staff. The interdisciplinary meetings give opportunity for the staff to bring forth ways to communicate more efficiently as a team. The email system is also used and all staff including per diem is included when addressing client concerns. The per diem staff has been given computers to be able to have access to the client’s information and allow the nurse to chart. This process makes it easier for the assigned nurse case manager to see what problem/s was addressed in the plan of care. Communication is essential in all type of work but extremely essential when you are out in the field.

Physiological and Psychological Healing through CAM

Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese technique for curing various chronic pains. It has also been used as anesthesia for surgery and for curing postoperative nausea.

Using South University Online Library, search the article, “A randomized trial comparing acupuncture, simulated acupuncture, and usual care for chronic low back pain.”

On the basis of your research and understanding of the topic, summarize your thoughts and answer to the following questions:

• The study concludes that both real acupuncture and sham acupuncture are more effective than usual care for chronic back pain. This could be due to either the physiological stimulus provided by acupuncture needling or certain nonspecific effects, such as the therapist’s conviction and the patient’s enthusiasm for the treatment. Do you think that this study supports a combined model of treatment where both physical and psychological stimuli are used to cure chronic back pain? Why or why not?
• What are the shortcomings of this study? Would conducting more studies, such as the current investigation, add to your understanding and the efficacy of acupuncture for chronic back pain?
• Even in the absence of support for acupuncture, how does this article contribute to the study of CAM and our understanding of CAM research practices?
• What is your opinion on the modality discussed in the article? Do you see any outstanding benefits or detractions from the therapy’s use in contemporary wellness environments?
