Sustainability - Improving Diabetic Self Management by Kayla Gallagher https://padlet.com/kaylabrent521/kaylagallaghernur672week12 Efforts to continue to address health literacy needs of both the staff and patients are needed to ensure efficient communication between parties. In addition, making necessary additions/changes to educational materials is necessary to help improve the quality of education being provided to patients. en-us 2018-11-15 00:51:51 UTC 2022-04-14 14:00:32 UTC hello@padlet.com 1. Maintain adherence to the ACMH mission & vision statements. kaylabrent521 https://padlet.com/kaylabrent521/kaylagallaghernur672week12/wish/304605541 ACMH is dedicated to providing quality patient care. A huge piece of a patients health status stems from their understanding of how to effectively care for themselves. ]]> 2018-11-15 00:59:38 UTC https://padlet.com/kaylabrent521/kaylagallaghernur672week12/wish/304605541 Why should this project be continued?? kaylabrent521 https://padlet.com/kaylabrent521/kaylagallaghernur672week12/wish/304606885 I will give you five reasons! ]]> 2018-11-15 01:05:31 UTC https://padlet.com/kaylabrent521/kaylagallaghernur672week12/wish/304606885 2. Improve patient educational outcomes. kaylabrent521 https://padlet.com/kaylabrent521/kaylagallaghernur672week12/wish/304606962 Overall, patient outcomes may be improved by ensuring a patients understanding of the importance of their collaboration in their health care. Continuing to ensure a patients understanding of health literacy and the nursing staffs techniques education tools, they will be more receptive to different forms of learning/teaching such as "teachback".]]> 2018-11-15 01:05:56 UTC https://padlet.com/kaylabrent521/kaylagallaghernur672week12/wish/304606962 3. Improve staff educational tools. kaylabrent521 https://padlet.com/kaylabrent521/kaylagallaghernur672week12/wish/304607730 By continuing this project, continuous education will be provided to staff to ensure that they are being sensitive to health literacy. Without follow up education, skills may be lost after a short period of time. ]]> 2018-11-15 01:10:13 UTC https://padlet.com/kaylabrent521/kaylagallaghernur672week12/wish/304607730 4. Improve patient diabetic outcomes. kaylabrent521 https://padlet.com/kaylabrent521/kaylagallaghernur672week12/wish/304608274 By continuing to revise patient education and ensure that it is sensitive to health literacy will improve their diabetic management skills. This, in turn, will likely improve their diabetic outcomes. Effectiveness could be assessed through the patient's A1C before updated education, three months after, and then six months after.

Adhere to a nurses call to action to provide the most quality patient care to patients struggling with low health literacy levels. kaylabrent521 https://padlet.com/kaylabrent521/kaylagallaghernur672week12/wish/304609155 Nurses should understand the importance of educating those with a low health literacy level as their literacy level typically correlates with their overall health status. Patients with a disease so fragile, such as diabetes, have a variety of concerns which must be understood (diabetic foot care, wound healing, follow up eye care, etc.). It is the duty of a nurse to ensure a patient's understanding.
