Nurses monitor the evaluation and diagnosis in the care units and discharge patients, a repetitive functionality that can be done by other staff. Providing assistants is a delegative movement that offers help to stabilize redundancy in the health sector. Healthcare institutions divide functions according to the level of medical knowledge. Nurses and doctors have different roles in the system and work differently. In hospital wards, nurses have basic activities taking care of patients. Coordination in the healthcare sector is crucial to ensure workflow and quality of services. There is some redundancy in some tasks that seems unnecessary and involving, though not essential (Brown et al., 2022). The paper discusses functions in the ward work that are redundant and unnecessary.
The ward setting functionalities are handled redundantly and in observation notion. The activities sometimes seem unnecessary and make the nurses reluctant and slow whenever doing them. Superfluous effects put into preparation can be done by other staff in the same field (Brown et al., 2022). Some assistants can handle these activities without redundancy. Redundancy can be positive or negative in the health system—provincial territories in the health sector correlate with all the artifacts around the field.
The physicians only attend to patients during morning hours, leaving the rest for the nursing department. Coordination is essential in nursing; there is redundancy due to miscommunication in the interrelation with the doctors. Coordination should help in the equal distribution of roles, but it overpowers some staff. Being a nurse gives one more task than being a doctor (Brown et al., 2022). Health shifts in administration are longer compared to those for doctors. In this case, education levels offer an advantage to higher levels hence the situation of doctors to nurses.
In conclusion, redundancy functions affect overall workflow in the nursing field. Nurses find some activities unnecessary due to the availability of assistants. In some cases, nurses should compile and record data with redundant information, which is vital. Clinical records can be handled in the reception panel or through assistants. Virtual consultations aid the ward work in the provision of patient care.
