Importance of Data Evaluation and Interpretation to Improve Patient 

Importance of Data Evaluation and Interpretation to Improve Patient.
Proper interpretation and subsequent evaluation of data are paramount to enhancing quality and safety in health organizations. For the nurses, it is even more important as they act as they act as a reliable link between patients and any other medical practitioners. The purpose of this paper is to examine the importance of medical data analysis in safeguarding patients in health institutions.
ANALYSIS AND POSSIBLE EXPIATION TO THE DATA
The distribution of the data reveals some predictable characteristics in respect of time of day, a day of the week and possible unique features of a day of the week. Telemetry units are sensitive and require optimal attentiveness by the nurse. Slight elements of negligence would increase the number of falls given that patients in this section require close monitoring. Despite the sensitivity of the telemetry section, nurses may fail to provide optimum considerations to the patients. Such actions also serve as a possible hypothesis to explain deviations in the distribution of falls by day and time.
It is apparent that most of the falls take place between 3 am and 7 am at 14 and 15 falls respectively throughout the four-month period. The number of falls drops significant between 11 am and 7 pm, resulting in only two recordings. The results may suggest a relationship between the level of activeness of the nurses in respect of the time of day. It appears as though they are more vigorous during the middle of the day and seemingly fragile at dawn and dusk.

It is not possible to assume that it is the patients who demonstrate variations in their health depending on the time of day.
The distribution of data also reveals deviations regarding specific days of the week. Sundays, Saturdays, and Fridays conspicuously recorded the highest number of falls subject to the time of days. The other days that is Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays recorded uniformly lower results. It is hence apparent the level of care fluctuates depending on a given day of the week. The weekends recorded dismal attention while the weekdays reflect optimal contributions by the nurses.
IMPROVING THE NUMBER OF FALLS
The telemetry unit is synonymous with fragile persons and sophisticated machines. It demands that’s only professionals and those with necessary medical know-how, use the area. This department is a critical section that the nurses exercise their practice. In this respect, they are at the heart of any efforts to reduce the number of falls.
One of the possible management practices to avoid falling ordeals is to reconcile all the health requirements of the patients. It is apparent that the medics cannot concentrate on drops alone and have to ensure the overall medical problems are equally prioritized. It is also necessary to take appropriate considerations for other needs of the patients particularly ample exercising and ambulation. According to Goh, Chan & Kuziemsky (2013), the management also has to consider the complementary nature of the process. It is the collective role of the medical practitioners to enhance safety and quality in health facilities.
Identifying with the individual requirement of a patient creates a standard way to avert possible tragedies within the telemetry section. It is, therefore, prudent for the management to consider systems for collective and individual dissemination appropriate treatment strategies (Seidl & Newhouse, 2012).
LEADERSHIP CHARACTERISTICSIN IMPROVING FALL RATES
The nursing fraternity is significant to the health sectors and requires a formidable force exercise their practice. Various horizontal and vertical elements of management interact to ensure achievement of high levels of quality (Fagan, 2012). The medical staff requires to be led as a group but also need to have an internal principle that governs their course. One of the key leadership aspects requires that every individual plays their part without considering the actions of the other parties involved.
According to Sullivan (2013), nurses need courage in dealing with current patients who are technology and information oriented. They must not feel intimidated by those who question their approaches in treating and diagnosing various infections. They must diligently defend their practices and must not be led to compromise the quality of their work. On the other hand, the health workers should consider the organizational rules in justifying distinct approaches in the exercise of their profession.
The nursing fraternity should be the leader in enhancing quality in the hospitals. Their closer interactions with the patients create a platform for capturing timely statistics of the patients. It also creates a platform for establishing other aspects of the medical facilities such as the levels of hygiene (Fagan, 2012). For the top managers, the primary task is to select the persons that are best suited to take care of patients particularly in the telemetry unit.
SUMMARY
Whereas most medical centers have advanced over the years, Quality and safety have not come as a guarantee. These facilities host different types of patients some of whom suffer chronic diseases and require constant monitoring. Nurses play a central role in administering effectiveness of medical care. They link patients with doctors. They also act as the agents of collecting appropriate data. The telemetry unit demands consideration of critical attributes of the medical workers.
