Vilka behov ställs på vården utifrån olika kulturer?
Enligt Samarasinghe (2010) är det viktigt att sjuksköterskor är medvetna om sina egna fördomar. Detta för att möten med människor från andra kulturer ska leda till en ömsesidig respekt och förståelse. Ett viktigt redskap i mötet med människor med annan kulturell bakgrund är kunskapen om andra kulturer (Hanssen, 2007).
Vad menas med kulturella behov?
Kulturell önskan, kulturell medvetenhet och kulturell kunskap är avgörande faktorer för att uppnå kulturell kompetens. Kulturell önskan är motivationen och viljan hos sjuksköterskor att delta i processen för att bli medvetna, kunniga, kompetenta och bekanta med kulturer.
Does Medicare cover observation status in hospitals?
Unfortunately, it can hurt hospital patients who rely on Medicare for their health care coverage. People who receive care in hospitals, even overnight and for several days, may learn they have not actually been admitted as inpatients. Instead, the hospital has classified them as Observation Status, which is an “outpatient” category.
What is the Medicare outpatient observation notice (Moon)?
Since March 8, 2017, hospitals have been required to give patients the Medicare Outpatient Observation Notice (MOON) within 36 hours if the patients are receiving “observation services as an outpatient” for 24 hours. Hospitals must also orally explain observation status and its financial consequences for patients.
Can I appeal my Medicare observation status?
However, the situation for Observation Status appeals is unique. Medicare currently has no official method to appeal Observation Status. This may be illegal. As of August 2017, the Center is pursuing a class action lawsuit on behalf of Medicare beneficiaries to establish a way to appeal Observation Status.
What does hospital observation status mean?
This is known as hospital observation and it confuses many Medicare beneficiaries. Also known as observation status, hospital observation encompasses care received in a hospital without being admitted. For example, if you go to the hospital complaining of abdominal pain, you may be placed in a room or bed.
