Patient-centered care provision
The achievement of this is through identification, respect as well as care for patients variation.
The need for identification of preference during service delivery is significant. Considerably an
individual will communicate and coordinate on the education of the patients. In specialized
cases, an individual can consult on decision to be made on a particular patient. The continuous
advocacy of disease prevention, promotion of healthy living and wellness is essential.
Imperatively, the provision of information to a patient on their condition, and remedies on their
disease will ensure better performance.
Employing evidence-based practice and quality improvement
The integration of best research practice as well as clinical expertise will assure patient values
for optimum care. Fundamentally, this will as well ensure the participation of patients in the
research and learning process. On the other hand, the application of quality improvement is
based on the identification of hazards in the health care system.
The understanding of safety designs and their implementation principles will lead to the
standardization and simplification of healthcare practice. The measure of health care standards
can be achieved through development of better structures, processes as well as outcomes in a
focus to the patients needs (Jr & Rasmussen, 2013). Implementation of test and design
intervention with an intention of improvement of the processes and care systems will lead to an
improvement in the quality.
Utilization of informatics while working in interdisciplinary teams

HEALTH CORD

The heath care facility has individuals with different capabilities and professional skills.
Affirmatively the coordination of health care within the facility will ensure the participation of
all the individuals. The collaboration and integration of the health care teams will affirm reliable
and continuous care provision for the patients. In addition to this they team will utilize
informatics that will affirm the mitigation of error, use information technology in the support of
decisions as well as mitigate errors.
Health professional
Being recognized as a health care profession in health coordinating unit attracts particular
benefits. The recognition of professionalism assures a good salary and job security. Considerably
the higher your training and experience the higher the value of the professional. Considerably in
the hospital, the professional provides better care for the patient. Due to this fact, the individual
makes a difference in peoples lives while developing potential experience for their field.
The competences for healthcare unit coordinators are:

The individual should have proper communication and problem solving skills.
Considerable computer usage skills and performance
Skills a on the preparation as well as updating of hospital reports
Have the ability to process paperwork for the admission as well as discharge or transfer
of patients in the hospital

Differences in competences based on organization

There are particular differences based on the type of organization. Particularly some
organizations are focused on the development of proper care for their patients while others are
focused on the management of the responsibilities of the organization (Polifko-Harris, 2004).
Fundamentally, skills such as communication, patient handling and development of discharge

HEALTH CORD

reports are focused on the patient. However, other such as computer usage and problem solving
are on the management of the organization. Organizations develop this skills based on the needs
of the organization.
Learning goals
The recent adaptation of technology by the healthcare fraternity necessitates having skills on the
use of computers among other healthcare technologies. Considerably through the month, I will
focus on the acquisition of proper skills on computer usage and development of healthcare based
programs that assure appropriate service delivery. Professionalism in the field requires
knowledge of best methods to approach problems. However, technology provides better
solutions to management. Imperatively I will seek to study the best practices using technology
developed by most hospitals. Understanding of the technologies is fundamental for my
professional approach to health care.
Dolly the sheep
Dolly was the first mammal to be cloned from a single cell of the parent. Significantly, the clone
introduced significant progress in the world of medicine. The technique has had an effect in price
of cloning animals thus providing for its commercialization. On the other hand through cloning
scientist have had the ability of transferring human genes that produce human genes such as
blood clotting and the agent factor IX used in the treatment of alpha-1-antitrypsinas well as
hemophilia. They are used in the treatment of lung conditions and cystic fibrosis. This is done
only once then the animal is breed to produce a stock.
Proficiently the advances that have been made through animal cloning have resulted to the
development of new therapy used in the prevention of mitochondrial disease. The disease is

passed from a mother to a child. According to the current statistics about 1 in every 6000
individuals are born with Faulty mitochondria that can led to ailments such as Muscular
dystrophy. The therapy is done through the extraction of the embryo DNA from the parent and is
consequently placed in an egg cell that has been donated by a different individual. This is a
similar process to the one used in embryonic cloning of animal cells.
