RSW Strategy
Adopting the RSW strategy is important because it ensures that the Covid-19 cases are identified and isolated in time; therefore, it reduces the risk of infection transmission in the hospital. On the other hand, it may not be possible to identify all cases of Covid-19 on admission and so some decisions made will be based on speculations. Furthermore, there are ethical implications linked with the policy. It may appear discriminative to isolate all the patients with respiratory illnesses and so some with minor influenza virus infections among other upper respiratory diseases may fear seeking medical help from the hospital.
Recommended Policies to Address Competing Needs and Shortcomings of Existing Policies Administration of Healthcare through Internet
The identified NURS 6053 ANALYSIS OF A PERTINENT HEALTHCARE ISSUE can be addressed through the implementation of the interaction between the patients and healthcare providers over the internet. The strategy will be most effective because it minimizes the contact between the patient and the healthcare providers (Borycki & Kushniruk, 2017). Though, there is an increased risk of patients infecting their family members if they fail to observe the infection prevention and control measures at home. However, the approach is cost-effective and does not require additional healthcare providers since the patients will take a proactive role in promoting their wellbeing (Orton et al., 2018). Furthermore, due to the non-exposure, the demand for personal protective equipment will reduce and the healthcare providers will be able to practice freely without the fear of getting the deadly disease.
