Document Summary

Ment a al health: the interface between physical and mental health. Chapter 9 stress: is the worse offender that affects us mentally and physically; laughter alleviates it memory - problems - mental and physical health issues; sometimes it"s just cause of stress and being busy. Hostility: type a personality/type a behaviour pattern (tabp). Relatively consistent effects of anxiety on heart disease and overall mortality have been found. Depression: perhaps the strongest association between negative affect and health in late life is found with depression. Control and self-efficacy: many early studies showed the protective effect of control. Optimism (positive outlook: the construction of optimism is one of the primary foci in the current emphasis on positive psychology. www. notesolution. com. Emotional stability: clearly, part of the negative effect of anxiety, hostility, and depression is related to emotional labiality. Alcohol and aging: the past several decades have witnessed a dramatic increase in our understanding of how personality processes affect health.

Correlation Between Human Body And Mind

Each affects the other, but it's much more complicated, above and below.

We tend to think of physical health as the physical fitness of the body. Physical health begins with genetics and nutrition, which feed the health of your cells and tissues, which create the health of your bodily organs, including your brain, and your bodily systems, including the sensory and another system of your body and brain.

Above the level of the physical brain, we have the mind, the 'thinking part' of the brain, and the thought patterns we encourage and discourage in our day-to-day living. The mind and the brain also give rise to your spirits, happy, sad, excited, elated, depressed, etc. And your mind interacts with other people around you, in your communities. This illustrates the hierarchy of life, and the hierarchy of healthcare: genetics, nutrients, cells, tissues organs, bodily systems, body, minds, spirits, and communities.

Every layer affects every other layer. You can eat foods that depress or excite your spirits. Some people are genetically happy most of the time. Others are genetically more somber. If your communities, the people you spend your time with are innovative, adventurous, you will become more innovative and adventurous, perhaps more risk-taking. If your community is more caring and sharing, your mental health will be more aligned to caring and sharing. If your brain loses oxytocin, due to a systemic or dietary problem, or a hereditary factor, you will be less sharing and caring.

So, When you improve your physical health, you tend to improve every layer in the hierarchy. And when you improve any layer in the hierarchy, you improve your mental health. If you improve your physical health, by working with your communities, there are more benefits. If you improve your physical health by eating a better diet, there are more benefits.

If you or your family member is suffering from a disease, you should get a medical bracelets. If they will be wearing a medical bracelet you will have peace of mind and will be able to focus on your work. In case of any medical emergency, it will alert the relevant team and share all the details regarding medical history. You can mention your contact number as an emergency contact number, so if anything happens they will contact you immediately.

An example of physical health impacts mental health is this that when we eat more junk food we tend to feel unnecessarily bored. Our mood changed frequently. We feel down. And when you do proper exercise and have good food you feel so much energy throughout the day.

So this is how physical and mental health is interrelated. So you should learn from your own experiences. When you do certain things you will get certain types of results, so accordingly change the cause if you don’t like the result.

Case Study: Mental Health Parity

Presenting to the board, Chris spoke with passion. Our insurance plan should provide the same coverage for mental health services as for other medical services. It's the right thing to do, and it's good business. If our employees or their dependents have untreated mental health problems, the employees become less productive and waste money getting treated for other stuff. Thank you, Chris,€ said Kerry, the company's CEO. This is an important question for us, and the Benefits Committee will carefully consider it. After Chris left the room, Kerry turned to Jordan, the director of human resources, and said, Jordan, what's your take on this? There are actually two questions here, said Jordan. First, how elastic is the demand for ambulatory mental health services? How much will the use of mental health services increase if coverage improves? Second, how effective is mental health care? This second question is the more important one because good mental health care can have such powerful effects. Now, a number of studies have concluded that the use of mental health services is more price-sensitive than the use of other ambulatory care. Analyses of ambulatory mental health services have found elasticities ranging from 0.44 to 1.00. These results could be statistical flukes. Consumers who expect to use mental health services may choose insurance plans that offer generous coverage for those services. However, the RAND Corporation researchers Keeler, Manning, and Wells in 1988 used data from the RAND Health Insurance Experiment, which randomly assigned respondents to insurance plans, to resolve this issue. The RAND analysis generally confirmed that the demand for mental health services is more price-sensitive than the demand for general ambulatory medical services. Demand for each is inelastic, but the elasticity for mental health services is 0.8 and the elasticity for other outpatient services is 0.3. Most consumers will not use any mental health services, but plans that offer generous mental health benefits will cost more. We can't ignore this. I'm confused,€ said Addison, an internist on the board. In 2012 McConnell and colleagues published a study showing that Oregon's law requiring mental health parity in commercial insurance plans had little effect on spending. How could that be? Real-life appears to be contradicting the RAND study. I'm sure the plans for federal employees used managed care techniques to control spending,€ Jordan jumped in. And mental health spending isn't the issue. The issues are what happens to other healthcare spending and what happens to our workers. I'm pretty sure there's good evidence showing that effective mental health treatment can reduce other costs and improve productivity.

Discussion questions:

Why does it matter whether demand for mental health services is more elastic than demand for other services?

The price elasticity of demand for ambulatory mental health services appears to be about 0.8, and the price elasticity for general ambulatory medical services appears to be about 0.3. How much would spending increase for each type of care if copayments were cut from $40 to $25?

What managed care techniques do insurers use to control spending?

Is there evidence that better treatment of mental health problems reduces other spending?

Is there evidence that better treatment of mental health problems improves productivity?

What is your recommendation to the Benefits Committee?

I will like you do grammar check, and rewrite it in another form. This is to avoid plagirsm. Thank you.

The purpose of this research is to explain some advantages and disadvantages of the implementation of the electronic medical record in a general hospital and specific units such as Neonatal intensive care unit. Also, it will emphasize different challenges that physician face when using the eMR as well as some solutions they offered in order to help them to overcome the challenge of typing. Most importantly, it will focus on the beneficial use of the eMR such as reduced time when charting specially in nursing as they spend a lot of time when documenting, it will reduce the time in half when using electronic medical record. Also, the research will review how the electronic medical record can enhance the quality of care to the patient. The electronic medical record will provide all the information needed by the physicians or any health care provider when giving care especially the critical patient who needs a quick intervention. This reseach will provide some information on how the eMR can improve quality of care. On the other hand, it will be discussed how the use of eMR can affect the relationship between a health care provider and the patient. As we know, health care providers have to keep a professional but close relationship with their patients in order to provide care and give the best intervention. However, when a health care provider uses electronic medical record some information might be lost when typing from a paper-based system into the eMR. The journals discuss multiple solutions to overcome and to reduce the risk of losing important information of our patient when typing or scanning the information into the eMR. Ventura, M.L., Battan, A.M., Zorloni, C., Abbiati, L., Colombo, M. Farina, S., & Tagliabue, P. (2011). The electronic medical record: pros and cons. The journal of maternal- fetal and neonatal medicine, 24(1), 163-166. doi: 10.3109/14767058.2011.607582 In this journal, researchers want to implement an electronic medical record in a neonatal intensive care unit. This system will enhance critical patient’s treatment because it will implement bedside clinical observation with machine monitoring data, and results from the laboratory. The time of charting for nurses was reduced but medical staff complained about the lack of automation in the reports. Through this journal researchers demonstrate that even though electronic medical record is beneficial because it reduces the charting time, it also can increase the risk for system error which can be fatal for the patients. In conclusion, electronic medical record should be reviewed for any complication that can influence patient’s life. Fox, G. S. (2014). The people versus the electronic medical record, last Thursday. Acad Pshychiatry, 38, 368-372. doi: 10.1007/s40596-014-0042-x In this journal, physicians express their concern about the use of electronic medical record. Physicians believe that the use of technology interferes with the face to face discussion between patients and doctors. Physician stated that the essential and precious communication has been diminished for both care givers and patients. Indeed, I believe with the use of electronic medical record, the lack of interaction and eye contact between the care giver and patient is increasing. This journal is really relevant within the nursing profession because it raises awareness of how important it is to keep the essential of communication between patients and health care providers. In brief, health care providers should find other way to obtain and record patient information to support the doctors and patient relationship. Ossoff, R. H., Thomason, C. D., & Appleton, J. (2010). Challenges with the electronic medical record. Journal of Health Care Compliance, 12(6), 51-54. Retrieved from http://search.proquest.com/docview/822639350?accountid=3455 The authors in this article examine the different challenges that doctors are facing with the use of electronic medical record. Firstly, physicians have to take training to learn how to use the system. However, to overcome the challenge of typing, physicians proposed an idea of creating well detailed templates that list all organs systems. Indeed, templates should be used just as a baseline of information, to help the users to remember the key elements while adding the patient’s information. This is a good point in documentation because even though templates are easier to fill out, medical staff should keep in mind that documentation should be well detailed. Although the templates might be well detailed, it is better to write your own finding when assessing a client. As the authors mention, templates should be used only as a baseline information. The population of interest regarding this journal will be health care providers and people that might want to go into the health care profession. Perez, S., & Keijzers, G. (2012). Missing data in the electronic medical record. Emergency medicine Australasia, 24 (4), 465. doi: 10.1111/j.1742-6723.2012.01564.x The authors of this research explain the problems that caused the transition from paper-based system to electronic medical record. With the implementation of the eMR all paper-based data are scanned into the eMR using pdf files and then destroyed. This caused many missing information in the eMR because they were destroyed before being verified in the eMR. Some solutions were addressed in this journal including; depositing the data collection sheets and separating them from the medical charts and placing them in the data collection boxes. This might decrease the loss of a patient’s important information. In brief, this journal addresses a very important topic about the importance of completely transferring the patient’s information into the eMR. Also, it creates an awareness to keep paper documentation even though the eMR is present. Hoffman, M.A., & Williams, M.S. (2011). Electronic medical records and personalized medicine. Hum genet, 130, 33-39. doi: 10.1007/s00439-011-0992-y The authors emphasize two important aspects of a fully functional electronic medical record. Firstly, it is necessary to present patients or clinicians with a high quality context detailed information when providing care. Secondly, the users must combine clinical information from different sources in order to guide the clinician to improve intervention for a given patient. According to this journal, the use of electronic medical record can increase quality of providing care. As health care professionals our main goal is to provide the best intervention to our patient and this journal proved that the use of eMR can improve the intervention given to the patient. This is because it can give doctors a quick access to patient’s information in a critical scenario or even when just proving care.
