MSN NURS-FPX6011 Assessment 2 Traumatic Brain Injury Care Report
Assessment 2 Instructions: Traumatic Brain Injury Care Report
Create a patient-centered care report applying the outcomes of the Population Health Improvement Initiative (PHII). Your report will be based on the scenario presented in the Evidence-Based Health Assessment and Application media piece. Report on the Care for Traumatic Brain Injury
Use the results of the Population Health Improvement Initiative to make a report on patient-centered care (PHII). The scenario in the Evidence-Based Health Assessment and Application media piece will be the basis for your report.
Master’s-level nurses need to be able to think critically about the evidence, outcomes data, and other relevant information they encounter throughout their daily practice. Often the evidence or information that a nurse encounters, researches, or studies is not presented in the exact context of that nurse’s practice. A key skill of the master’s-level nurse is to be able to transfer evidence from the context in which it was presented and apply it to a different context in order to maximize the benefit to patients in that new context.

Scenario
For this assessment, you will base your report on the scenario presented in the Evidence-Based Health Assessment and Application media piece. Some of the writing you completed and exported from the media piece can constitute your prewriting and inform the development of your final submission. Further, even though the media piece was framed within one type of care setting, you can extrapolate the situation into another care setting that is more relevant to you. You will still be able to apply community outcomes data to an individual patient or case.

Introduction
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a serious and potentially life-threatening injury that can have long-lasting effects on an individual’s health and well-being. The Population Health Improvement Initiative (PHII) is a framework that aims to improve the overall health and well-being of populations through evidence-based practices and interventions. This report will evaluate the outcomes of the PHII as applied to the care of patients with TBI and propose strategies for improving the outcomes of this population health improvement plan.
Assessment of PHII Outcomes
The PHII has been successful in improving the outcomes of TBI care by promoting evidence-based interventions that aim to reduce the incidence and severity of TBI, as well as improve the quality of care provided to individuals who have suffered a TBI. Some of the key outcomes of the PHII include:
Improved patient outcomes: The PHII has been successful in improving the overall health and well-being of patients with TBI by promoting evidence-based interventions that aim to reduce the incidence and severity of TBI, as well as improve the quality of care provided to individuals who have suffered a TBI.
Reduced healthcare costs: The PHII has been successful in reducing healthcare costs associated with TBI by promoting evidence-based interventions that aim to reduce the incidence and severity of TBI, as well as improve the quality of care provided to individuals who have suffered a TBI.
Improved community outcomes: The PHII has been successful in improving community outcomes by promoting evidence-based interventions that aim to reduce the incidence and severity of TBI, as well as improve the quality of care provided to individuals who have suffered a TBI.
Proposed Strategies for Improving PHII Outcomes
To improve the outcomes of the PHII as applied to the care of patients with TBI, the following strategies can be implemented:
Implement evidence-based practices: Healthcare providers should implement evidence-based practices that have been proven to be effective in reducing the incidence and severity of TBI and improving the quality of care provided to individuals who have suffered a TBI. This may include the use of guidelines for the management of TBI, such as those provided by the Brain Trauma Foundation.
Increase public awareness: Public awareness campaigns can be implemented to educate the public about the risks associated with TBI and the importance of seeking immediate medical attention in the event of a head injury. This can help to reduce the incidence and severity of TBI by encouraging early detection and treatment.
Improve access to care: Access to care can be improved by increasing the availability of healthcare providers and facilities that are equipped to manage TBI. This can include the establishment of TBI centers of excellence that are staffed by healthcare providers with specialized training in the management of TBI.
Personalized Care Approach
An individualized personal care approach that incorporates lessons learned from the PHII can be developed for patients with TBI. This approach should be based on evidence-based practices that have been shown to be effective in improving patient outcomes and reducing healthcare costs. The following components should be included in the personalized care approach:
Early detection and treatment: Patients with suspected TBI should be evaluated as soon as possible to ensure that they receive timely and appropriate treatment. This may include imaging studies, such as computed tomography (CT) scans or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), to evaluate the extent and severity of the injury.
Multidisciplinary approach: TBI is a complex condition that requires a multidisciplinary approach to management. Healthcare providers from different specialties, such as neurologists, neurosurgeons, physical therapists, and occupational therapists, should work together to develop a comprehensive treatment plan that addresses the patient’s unique needs.
Rehabilitation: Rehabilitation is an important component of TBI management and should be initiated as soon as possible after the acute phase of injury. Rehabilitation may include physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy, among others, and should be tailored to the individual needs of the patient. A team approach involving multiple healthcare providers can help to ensure that the rehabilitation plan is comprehensive and effective.
Patient and family education: Patients and their families should be educated about TBI and its potential long-term effects, as well as the importance of adherence to the treatment plan. This can include providing information about the signs and symptoms of TBI, strategies for managing symptoms, and resources for ongoing support and care.
Conclusion
The PHII has been successful in improving the outcomes of TBI care by promoting evidence-based interventions that aim to reduce the incidence and severity of TBI and improve the quality of care provided to individuals who have suffered a TBI. To further improve outcomes, healthcare providers can implement evidence-based practices, increase public awareness, and improve access to care. A personalized care approach that incorporates early detection and treatment, a multidisciplinary team approach, rehabilitation, and patient and family education can also be implemented to improve the care of patients with TBI.
