Q

Importance of Obamacare

A

Demand to increase productivity

90
Q

2 ways to not labor over every single note

A

We need you to be quick but efficient because there is more than one
person to see in a day!
¡ Look for key things: why are they there, what
treatments/interventions have they gotten, what do they want from us, do they already have a diet ordered, do they have nutritional access (e.g. feeding tube), do they have a trach/vent

91
Q

4 things to do when going to see the patient

A

1). Have your Pt list for the day printed/written out
2). Make a quick summary about each Pt to remind you at a quick glance
3). Ask your supervisor if they are ok with you taking notes
in the room or waiting until you leave the patient
4). Have all of your tools ready to take into the room

92
Q

4 things to look for before entering a patient room

A
  1. Check the front
    doors for precaution signs- FOLLOW them for your safety and the patient’s
  2. Speak to the RN before going in if possible
  3. Take essentials only
  4. Gel/Hand WASH
93
Q

3 important considerations in interacting with patients. Why?

A

1). ALWAYS introduce yourself to the patient and
family/caregivers
¡ Patients have the right to know who is in their room and why
¡ You’re not “just a student,” you are an important member of the
team who needs to be introduced
÷ “Hi my name is Julie, I am speech therapy graduate student/clinician”

2). If you are not sure who someone is, it’s ok to ask
¡ Don’t assume, you’ll get into trouble ÷ “Who do you have with you today” or “Are you family, friends,
caretaker?”

3). Show the patient’s respect when speaking to them
¡ Call them Mr. or Ms., shake their hand if possible, make sure you
look at them when you speak to them, thank them for their time, put them back how you found them

94
Q

3 more considerations when interacting with patients

A

1). Be confident with your voice and your demeanor  2). Let us know if you are uncomfortable with a patient
or patient situation
¡ Politely step out or ask to speak to us in private
3). Listen to your body!
¡ If you are getting dizzy in a room, sit down or leave
¡ If you are sick that day, don’t come to clinic to get us and the
patient sick….take care of yourself so you can care for others

95
Q

3 considerations in interacting with supervisors

A

1). Please don’t be scared of us!

2). Make sure to communicate your needs
¡ What type of feedback you like ¡ Family/work conflicts, disabilities, time commitments, etc.

3). We like questions…
¡ Make them constructive, try to relate something you do know about
the topic, show us that you took the initiative to already find the
answer before asking us
÷ PET PEEVE ALERT: asking us what an acronym means when you are
sitting at a computer and are capable of looking it up!
¡ Sometimes we can’t answer the questions right away, but we will get
back to you!
¡ Secret: we also have to look things up too!
