Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) connotes a progressive incremental enhancement of safety, processes, and patient care. The primary objective of CQI is to enhance care outcomes, system processes, operations, regulatory compliance, and work environment improvement (McCalman et al., 2018). Fundamentally, CQIs mostly focus on process and outcome measures. The process measures connote what health care providers do to enhance or maintain health and characteristically portray general health care recommendations. On the other hand, outcome measures demonstrate the results of a process including whether the condition of a patient improves or worsens after getting a particular intervention (Naik & Catic, 2021)

NURS FPX 4050 Assessment 3 – Care Coordination Presentation to Colleagues

Hello everyone and welcome to my presentation about ethical and policy issues that impact care coordination. My presentation will focus on the critical role that ethical and policy factors play in care coordination; especially enhancing patient outcomes and nursing professional conduct, as well as the ethical dilemmas they raise that challenge care coordination. The presentation will demonstrate these aspects by using the American Diabetes Association and its role in care coordination

Health organizations like the American Diabetes

Use of High-Reliability Organization Model in the Intervention

To ensure that every member executes their roles as expected, training will be held and a monthly meeting set to address any setback found and reinforce the best practices. The project will also be handled using HRO model whose focus is safe reliable performance (Padgett et al., 2017). The project team will build expectations in their roles, routines, and strategies. The expectations will ensure that they follow an order and can predict the outcomes surrounding patient falls. The model also imparts mindfulness that will empower the team to manage unexpected events. The team will be able to establish early warning signs and thus will offer timely response towards unexpected events.

Work-Life Balance for the Team

The initiative expects to reduce the fall rates within the hospital. However, the effects expected are reduced length of stay, lesser readmissions and increased hospital safety (Khalifa, 2019).The reduced fall rates will enhance the work-life balance of the team because reduced readmissions and reduced length of stay mean that the emergency department will not be overcrowded. Beds will be available for patients and physicians will be able to offer quality care to their patients. research indicates that high numbers of patient increases chances of making errors thus number of errors will reduce in the hospital. Once the project achieves its objectives, the team will have an increased feeling of belonging to an efficient work community.  The level of staff burnout will decrease which eventually will reduce staff turnover and enhance the overall productivity of the hospital (Khalifa, 2019).

Communication Strategies

This project focuses on a health care information review for patients living with HIV to improve their patient outcomes and fight stigmatization (Villanueva Baselga, 2020). nutritionist notes, the notes from nurses providing care, the patient surveys, discharge data, the referral information, medication list, and the laboratory results. The labs will be particularly important in assessing the immunologic and virologic efficacy of antiretroviral therapy. In addition, the lab data will be key in monitoring any abnormalities connected with the antiretroviral drugs. The patient survey data will be key in knowing the patient’s opinions and attitudes as the care team continues to modify and align the care activities to suit the individual and community needs. These data will be used to improve the quality of care delivered to HIV patients by making individual plans depending on how the patients respond to the medication. Opinions and attitudes will be key in helping the organizations come up with education material and content to educate the patients on overcoming issues such as stigma.

Key Study Components

 NURS FPX 4060 Assessment 3 Disaster Recovery Plan

Slide 2: Introduction

Managing a large patient population during a crisis presents substantial obstacles. The Disaster Recovery Plan tries to recoup from possible losses caused by a disaster. I will illustrate this idea with a sad occurrence resulting in several injuries. A large wildfire on July 6, 2021, caused severe destruction to the hamlet of Smallville, located in northern California. In a short amount of time, the fire completely engulfed the town, robbing approximately 19,000 homes and taking the lives of 31 individuals. The purpose of this presentation is to address the health obstacles or factors that may result from the disaster. The presentation will also look at a Disaster Recovery plan, which is meant to manage and reduce the impacts of a disaster.

Slide 3: Factors of Health and the Social, Economic, and Cultural Barriers

During catastrophic situations, healthcare staff, including medical professionals and physicians, must be more proactive in crisis management. Patient demographics should be considered when developing a healthcare plan for a person. Various communication techniques or approaches may assist in reducing the influence of social, economic, and cultural obstacles on safety and health programs (Stephens et al., 2022).

NHS FPX 4000 Assessment 4 Analyzing a Current Health Care Problem or Issue

Individual patients and groups visit health care facilities looking forward to comprehensive care and continuous support from health professionals. A holistic assessment of health issues, appropriate treatment, and healthy patient-provider relationships characterize such care. Despite multiple efforts to achieve this goal, numerous issues that hamper patient safety and care quality occur at different care points. Accordingly, health care professionals and leaders should explore these issues and their implications and implement sustainable, evidence-based solutions. Evidence-based solutions are informed by

Impacts of Underperformance on the Community

Ethically and professionally, health care organizations are mandated to provide excellent quality care and prioritize patient safety. High waiting time is a disservice to the community served and violates the principle of health care equity. According to Reese (2019), high waiting time in emergency rooms affects the health of millions of Americans yearly, and many usually leave health care facilities without attendance or partially attended.  This disservice is also a leading cause of more extended hospital stays since the chances of health complications as patients wait to be served are high. High waiting time increases medical errors and patients’ death rates (Martinez et al., 2019). As a result, the community health is affected adversely, and attention to enhance performance is necessary.

The factors that directly relate to the problem are total readmissions, total unplanned readmission, and average readmissions per unit per month (Upadhyay et al., 2019)

Value Proposition to the Organization

BHA-FPX4102 Assessment 3: Cultural Competence

Health care environments have rich cultural diversities for nurses and patients. Since cultural diversity is an inevitable part of life, nurses should be culturally competent to provide care that recognizes patients’ cultural needs and interact with patients comfortably. Awareness of cultural diversity also helps nurses adapt their decision-making and actions as situations demand. The purpose of this presentation is to analyze the skills necessary to complete a transcultural admission assessment. 

Transcultural Admission Assessment 

Transcultural nursing is the foundation of effective, patient-centered, and satisfactory care. It enables nurses to understand patients’ needs and provide care to patients from diverse cultures (Değer, 2108). A transcultural admission assessment focuses on different aspects of care and patients’ everyday life, including biocultural variations, cultural affiliation, sanctions, and restrictions. Others include communication, economics, and educational background (Giger& Haddad, 2020). Nurses need skills in each of the following areas to assess individuals and families successfully. 

Biocultural variations and cultural aspects of the incidence of disease: Nurses need to understand and evaluate how the client or the family relates health with conditions prevalent for a specific cultural group. Besides, nurses must be aware of the socioenvironmental conditions prevalent among a cultural group visible in the patient or family members. 

Communication: Include the language spoken at home, whether the patient needs an interpreter, and hearing or visual impairment. Nurses should be aware of the patient’s communication patterns, challenges, and how to enhance patient-provider communication. 

Cultural affiliations: They are primarily about the client’s preferred cultural groups and attachments that impact health. 

Cultural sanctions and restrictions: They have primarily to do with defined expectations and restrictions on sexuality, relationships, certain medication, and health-related processes like abortion, among other elements. 

Developmental considerations: The main considerations are beliefs and practices associated with developmental life events and cultural perception of aging (Giger & Haddad, 2020). Nurses should also enquire about how a cultural group cares for elderly persons. 

Economics: Focus areas include insurance coverage, principal wage earner in the family and income level, and the connection between economic status, family’s lifestyle, and living conditions. 

Educational background: It is among the key social determinants of health. Nurses must understand and evaluate how a patient’s education status impacts their knowledge about illnesses and perceptions of health care practices. 

Health-related beliefs and practices: Nurses should examine factors influencing illness acquisition, client’s cultural beliefs, and practices promoting health. Other considerations include the client’s religious affiliations, reliance on cultural healers, and home support and availability of caregiving. 

Nutrition: Focus areas include the presence of nutritional disorders and how the family views them, and the effects of the client’s cultural background on nutrition. 

Religion and spirituality: The main skill is nurses’ awareness of the connection between religion, health, and illness. Focus areas include religious practices during health and illness, roles of religious leaders, and healing practices to promote well-being. 

Value orientation: The main skill is the awareness and assessment of cultural worldview. Considerations include clients’ and families’ attitudes, values, and beliefs toward health (Giger & Haddad, 2020). Perception and reaction to change are critical too.

There is no universal method of interacting with patients and providing effective care. However, cultural competence is essential due to the diverse nature of health care professionals and nurses. A

Welcome to this presentation on a safety improvement plan in the organization. In everyday practice, health professionals encounter diverse issues hampering patient safety. Effective response to these issues requires a comprehensive understanding of their causes, manifestations, and potential interventions. Therefore, the purpose of this presentation is to explore a common safety concern that affects nurses’ ability to meet the desired outcomes. It will further describe a safety improvement plan and the targeted outcomes in terms of better safety and care quality. Other vital parts include your role and importance in the implementation process, as well as new processes and skills acquired by implementing the safety improvement plan.

Agenda and Outcomes

Before engaging in any education session, instructors and learners should be guided by a common agenda. Herein, the main agenda is exploring healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) as a significant patient safety concern requiring evidence-based, sustainable intervention. As a result, a comprehensive safety plan is necessary, which will be outlined while discussing stakeholders’ role in accomplishing the targeted goals. The primary outcome is improving health professionals’ knowledge of safety improvement in terms of implementation strategies and tools. Importantly, safety improvement prepares nurses for an advanced role in care coordination since it demonstrates organizing patient care activities to achieve the best health care delivery outcomes.

The organization must address medication errors to improve patients’ health outcomes by preventing adverse outcomes like adverse drug reactions, drug-drug interactions, and allergic reactions (Tamblyn et al., 2019). The organization’s goal is to provide high-quality healthcare that prioritizes patient safety. Thus, addressing the medication error issue will improve the facility’s quality of care and patient safety.

Besides, this will lower health costs for the organization and patients by reducing the length of patient stays and medication error-related hospital admissions. Addressing the issue will also save the care home and health providers from legal costs when the facility is sued for causing harm to the patient due to adverse patient outcomes related to medication errors (Tamblyn et al., 2019). In addition, it will improve patient satisfaction with care given and providers’ satisfaction. 

Impact of Emotional Intelligence on Relationships and Communication Effectiveness in Healthcare Organizations  

Workers with a higher level of understanding are more daring and cautious in the talks. They are more likely to come up with creative ideas related to solving human problems than employees who do not acquire a substantial level of emotional intelligence (Roth et al., 2019). These people are able to hold communication by balancing the moods of the people involved in their teams. The high emotional intelligence thus allows a person to coexist with others with diverse moods.  

In the case involving the two nurses and Christina Robledo, Faith could have realized that Christina was not in a good mood as her talks showed that she has been going through something but was unable to open up and talk (Codier & Codier, 2017). While the main objective was to offer better service to the patient, the two nurses could not have walked away but engaged Christina on the issues she might be going through. Such kinds of conversation would allow Christina to open up and feel that Anna and Faith are able to fit in her shoes. The two nurses could have started by listening to Christina’s explanation and engaged in communication that would not trigger moods but allow each of them to agree on the option of calling a doctor to make adjustments to the patient.  

Leadership entails the accomplishment of desired goals by directing human assistants. The thought of leading triggers various thinking among people on how different people view effective leadership. While others might argue that leaders are born or run through the genes of a particular community, others hold on the opinion that leaders are made. Healthcare leadership is a wide concept (Rosen et al., 2018). However, in general, leadership or leadership personality would show when a person tries to impose their influence over others with the aim of transforming their behavior for a specific reason. As such, for a person to lead others, they must understand themselves in terms of strengths and weaknesses. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to explore the concept of competency-based reflection.

Leadership Self Reflection

            The outcome from ACHE Competencies Assessment Tool has been important in understanding the five main domains that offer an effective analysis of personal leadership qualities. These domains include communication and leadership management, professionalism, knowledge of the healthcare environment, and business skills and knowledge. These five domains touch on every aspect of leadership that affects the relationship between a leader and subjects. The objective of leading is to rally human assistants toward meeting a common goal. However, in meeting a common goal, an effective leader would develop the human assistants, who would then develop the skills and ability to meet the common goal desired by the leader. However, meeting the threshold of being an effective leader requires a self-reflection through the five domains to ascertain how effective leadership is towards managing human resource and meeting the desired objective.

Strategic planning is an essential part of an organization as it allows an organization to understand its environment and other internal factors that could affect its operation. While strategic analysis and operational consideration are more vigorous in profit-oriented organizations, it is important in a non-profit organization like healthcare institutions (Schiavone & Simoni, 2019). Strategic analysis and operational consideration allow an organization to decide on important issues that could derive the desired success. The purpose of this assignment is to create a succinct and thorough analysis of the internal and external environment of St. Antony Medical Center.  

Part 1: Understanding the Environment 

St. Antony Medical Center aims to start a new for-profit 50-bed acute care hospital that is slated to open in the next eight months. This level of operation would as well expose the organization to increased competition in the healthcare sector. The traditional competition in the healthcare sector used to entail issues such as price, quality, the superiority of the products and services, and convenience in delivering healthcare. These factors defined the Magnus rating in healthcare (Benzaghta et al., 2021). The current competition in healthcare industry is defined by the rate of innovation and application of technology in healthcare. Health IT has been changing the competition trend in healthcare setting where healthcare organizations with advanced IT systems offer quality services compared to those without intense technological application.  

Hello everyone, on-air this morning is……………. I welcome you to this long-awaited session; “make our society better podcast. I will be hosting the program this morning, and I request that you pay attention to what we will explore. Our society is faced with several social issues that impact people’s lives, from children and youths to adults. As such, this morning, I would like to explore one of the most debatable and hot topics; abortion. One of the things that make abortion such interest is that while some states allow abortion any time the fetus is in the womb, others only allow it up to a few weeks of the fetus’s life (Bloomer et al., 2018). You will agree with me that abortion is such a polarizing issue. Every time the topic of abortion gets attention, various popular questions come to the fore, such as should it be legalized or not, and if yes, under what circumstances? Stay tuned as we dive deeper into this issue. 

The Contemporary Issue With Reference to Practical Instances 

 BHA-FPX 4006 Assessment 4: Voluntary Accreditation

The Healthcare industry is one of the largest sectors due to the fact that matters related to people’s health and disease management fall into this industry. It is, therefore, not surprising that over the years, there have been calls from various quarters for the healthcare services offered to the public to be better and better and be fulfilling. In response, the health care leaders and managers have embarked on using various strategies to improve the healthcare services offered. The implication is that such services and actions need to be regulated and must comply with the requirements of the regulatory bodies (Hussein et al., 2021). Therefore, it is imperative that the health care leaders and managers have a knowledge of the best practice, such as compliance practices, to meet specific standards of the industry and know the best approaches to regulatory compliance. Therefore the purpose of this summary brief is to explore how the Joint Commission accreditation assists organizations in adhering to the regulatory requirements, meeting stakeholders’ needs, and improving quality. Besides, the write-up will formulate a recommendation regarding other accrediting bodies that can be of benefit to the organization. 

Accreditation In Health Care  

Accreditation in health care entails an external review showing that a particular healthcare provider is meeting the standards and regulations that have been set by the external accreditation organization. Accreditation in healthcare is one of the responses which came in place to help regulate the quality of health care both externally and internally. Accreditation started in the 20th century by the American College of the surgeon (Barghouthi & Imam, 2018). Since then, accreditation in healthcare has been practiced throughout the world with the major aim of improving healthcare quality. 

Accreditation Requirements 

Hospitals need to meet various eligibility requirements for them to be considered for accreditation. In the US, the healthcare organization has to be within the USA territories, or, in the case that it is outside the US, then to be operated under the US Congress charter or by the US government. The organization also has to meet the parameters for the minimum volume of service or number of in patients needed for the organization to seek accreditation (Bogossian, F., & Craven, 2020). For example, the facility must have an average daily census of twenty-one or offer an inpatient record for at least ten percent of the average daily census. 

Accreditation and Regulatory Compliance 

Implementation Plan- Rolling Out the Initiative

Table 1: Timeline

Implementation implies taking the necessary actions to achieve a project’s goals. The first step, vital in goal achievement, is setting a timeline. The initiative does not involve building new facilities and should not take long before rolling out to the public. Since the association of greengrocers is open to partnerships and the organization has engaged in similar partnerships before, management approval is expected to take a maximum of three weeks.

Stakeholder engagement will follow the management’s approval to give the initiative a better chance to succeed. Stakeholders, internal and external, affect the outcomes of health projects depending on their support and resistance. Engaging stakeholders reduces resistance and increases buy-in (Quanbeck, 2019). The organization’s management, nurses, and support staff are key internal stakeholders whose support is needed for the initiative to succeed. To earn their support, an organizational presentation will be held detailing the project’s benefits and its impacts. Regular meetings will also be held to update stakeholders on the progress.

After the management approval and stakeholder engagement, it is crucial to ensure that the team is ready to implement community-based health care activities and handle patients and communities ethically and in a culturally-sensitive manner. As a result, the team will undergo orientation training to ensure that everyone understands the initiative’s focus areas and the ethical, legal, and professional principles to apply throughout the initiative. For instance, the staff will be educated on treating people without discrimination, particularly cultural, ethnic, and gender-based discrimination. The team’s composition will also be diverse in all major aspects to ensure that it is ready to interact with people in a culturally sensitive and linguistically appropriate manner

Like the IOM, the role of Computer-Based Patient Record Institute (CPRI) in conceptualizing EHR was characterized by commitment towards health care evolution. CPRI worked towards computerizing patient records and engaged stakeholders to develop the basic components of a computer-based patient record before the name changed to EHR. As seen in the case of the IOM, the basic components of EHR became the building blocks for a complete, functional, and fully integrated EHR. Together with the IOM, CPRI defined the elements of an EHR system enabling developers to come up with systems that would facilitate information storage and sharing within and across health organizations. The IOM and CPRI also standardized the requirements and formats of what a functional system should encompass.

The HITECH Act, EHR Design, Use

An Act is a policy intervention to encourage, regulate, or control something. According to Onyejekwe et al. (2019), the HITECH (Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health) Act was established to promote information technology in healthcare as EHRs’ use becomes the standard. Signed into law in 2009, the HITECH Act is part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Onyejekwe et al. (2019) further explained that the HITECH Act fixed some loopholes in the HIPAA Act by tightening the language to ensure that third party associates complied with HIPAA rules. The other major feature of the HITECH Act is requiring healthcare organizations to notify patients or health plan members in case of a breach in their files. The HITECH Act also introduced harsher penalties for HIPAA non-compliance

NURS FPX 4900 Assessment 5 Intervention Presentation and Capstone Reflection

INTRODUCTION

The continued demand of improved patient care services and ensuring that patients are safe in the care environment implies that nurses should have adequate training. Apart from attending theory classes, nurses engage in other activities to better prepare them for better management of chronic diseases such as diabetes (Hockenberry & Wilson, 2018). One of such is practicum experience. Practicum or clinical experience helps baccalaureate-prepared nurse have a chance of contributing to an identified patients’ outcomes. As way of continued learning, the nurse can reflect on such experiences. One way of reflection is video reflection. As such, this presentation explores a reflection on the practicum experience. In addition, the presentation will also focus on a formulated intervention used in addressing a health problem impacting a chosen patient.

ASSESSMENT OF THE INTERVENTION CONTRIBUTION

The patient whom I had an experience with during my clinical hours is the Mr. Y.  He is my neighbor and suffers from diabetes. He also has congestive heart failure as a comorbid condition. The patient was diagnosed with diabetes five years ago and has been treating it with medications, lifestyle, and behavioral modifications. Three months ago, he was also diagnosed with congestive heart failure and initiated treatment. The main evidence-based practice intervention applied in patient education. I have managed to educate the patient about lifestyle modifications and the importance of medication adherence. I also helped coordinate interprofessional collaboration for better health outcomes. Interprofessional collaboration is especially key in managing the patient’s comorbid conditions. Such interventions have been connected to improved quality of life.

PATIENT FEEDBACK  AND PATIENT EXPERIENCE

One of the sources through which one can know about the impact of an implemented intervention is patient feedback (Hockenberry & Wilson, 2018). In most cases, patients give honest opinion on what they think regarding the intervention and how their lives have been impacted by the intervention in question. Mr Y gave a feedback on the intervention. Earlier, Mr Y shared some worrying statements regarding his condition. conditions have increased the healthcare costs that he incurs in treating them. He faces the challenge of increased need for frequent hospital visits, hospitalization, and the purchase of expensive medications. He has also lost his social and occupational productivity due to health problems. He is worried that the medications he currently uses may predispose him to further adverse health outcomes. The increased demands due to the conditions have affected the social, emotional, and psychological wellbeing of his family. However, the intervention positively impacted on the patient’s health. He was appreciative of the intervention and indicated improved medication adherence and better increased involvement in physical exercise and healthy diet.

USE OF PEER-REVIEWED LITERATURE AND EVIDENCE

Factors Contributing to Health, Health Disparities, and Access to Services

Several factors contribute to health, health disparities and access to healthcare services. One of the factors is poverty. Poverty affects health, access to healthcare services, and acts as a source of health disparities. Poverty affects the population’s ability to access and afford their needed care due to cost constraints. As a result, they are increasingly predisposed to poor health outcomes. The other factor is the level of education. Highly educated people have access to better employment opportunities and remuneration. They also have a high level of awareness about their health needs. The level of education determines population’s health through aspects such as access and affordability of healthcare services. The other factor is insurance coverage. Medical insurance coverage reduces the costs incurred in the care process. It also enhances access to healthcare services since patients do not incur out-of-pocket spending in seeking their needed care. Therefore, lack of medical insurance limits access to high quality care by the population (Serchen et al., 2021).

NURS FPX 4030 Assessment 3 PICO(T) Questions and an Evidence-Based Approach

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a common, avoidable, and manageable condition that is marked by ongoing respiratory symptoms and restricted airflow caused by anomalies in the airways or air sacs. According to Michas et al. (2020), around 30 million Americans are afflicted by this condition, making it the fourth most significant cause of mortality in the United States. The occurrence of severe worsening of COPD is a significant cause of hospitalization and subsequent return to the hospital, affecting both patients and the healthcare system. Implementing a discharge care bundle may effectively minimize the occurrence of Acute exacerbation of COPD and substantially decrease hospital readmissions. The objective of this paper is to formulate a PICOT Question that will serve as a guiding principle for researching the effects of discharge care bundle on patients with COPD.

PICOT Approach

Nurse Sharon has been a psychiatric nurse in a multidisciplinary health system for more
than 23 years. Her primary role is to provide direct patient care to individuals dealing with a
variety of mental health conditions. This includes conducting assessments, developing care
plans, administering medications, and providing therapeutic interventions. Sharon describes how
her organization operates as a network of clinics and hospitals that include primary care, mental
health services, specialized medical services, and community outreach programs

 NURS FPX 4010 Assessment 2 Interview and Interdisciplinary Issue Identification, Assessment 3 Interdisciplinary Plan Proposal

PART 2, Paper # 2- Interdisciplinary Plan Proposal

The leadership issue identified at the facility is the main factor leading to increased cases of medication errors. The disunity in the department increases the chances of the nurses attending to nurses without prior information that other healthcare professionals had done on the patient resulting in an error (Holmes et al., 2019). The change desired at the facility needs to focus on leadership that would result in new healthcare system changes at the clinic.

Objective

The main objective of the interdisciplinary approach is to promote effective change at the clinic. The root cause analysis and the Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) models will be significant in leading the required change in leadership. These models would ensure that new leadership and systems are geared toward meeting the desired patient safety. Again, they will gather data on all departments and allow the development of a unified communication system that binds all the departments at the facility.

Questions and Predictions

Project Charter: Part 2 – Project Team

Patients’ health depends on physical well-being and mental health. Psychotherapists play an essential role in ensuring high-quality care. Their experience enables them to provide specialized therapy services. Their approaches can help patients recover faster and shorten hospital stays. The knowledge and expertise of these specialists are also incredibly beneficial to medical personnel. Educating employees on behavioral therapies can significantly reduce work stress while enhancing their balance between life and work (Johansen & Ervik, 2022). Conducting regular seminars and trainings is critical for improving outcomes. Furthermore, incorporating these therapists into patient care plans can improve outcomes, particularly for rehabilitation patients (Arya et al., 2020).

NURS FPX 4020 Assessment 4 Improvement Plan Tool Kit

Shahid, R., Shoker, M., Chu, L. M., Frehlick, R., Ward, H., & Pahwa, P. (2022). Impact of low health literacy on patients’ health outcomes: A multicenter cohort study. BMC Health Services Research, 22(1), 1148. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12913-022-08527-9 

The study assesses the interconnection between patients’ health literacy and health outcomes. The study showed that only 50% of the population had adequate health literacy levels, 32% had moderate literacy, and 18% had minimal health literacy. This indicates that patients with low health literacy are more likely to get readmitted to the hospital within 90 days of discharge and survive adverse health outcomes.

NURS FPX 6111 Assessment 3 Course Evaluation Template

The course evaluation template utilizes a mixed-methods format, combining quantitative (Likert scale) and qualitative methods (open-ended comment box). These methods comprehensively assess learning and program outcomes. According to South et al. (2022), the Likert scale is justified as an effective format to identify strong and weak areas of the course, enabling educators to make relevant changes according to students’ responses and preferences. On the other hand, Decorte et al. (2019) justify using an open-ended comment section as it permits students to provide detailed feedback, suggestions, and insights regarding their learning experiences, capturing detailed perspectives about strengths, weaknesses, and areas of improvement.

NURS FPX 4020 Assessment 2 Root Cause Analysis and Safety Improvement Plan

The goal is to reduce medication and treatment errors and associated complications by improving patient education and promoting a trusting and collaborative provider-patient relationship. The timeline required for establishing a patient-centered communication model is six months; initially, in the first three months, the organization will develop and implement training programs for nursing staff on patient-centered communication, and in the next three months, stakeholders must establish a discharge education policy and start pilot implementation.

Outcome Measures, Issues, and Opportunities

In-patient falls are a complex challenge within ________ (mention the organization’s name used in A1 and A2). This report is for stakeholders to detail the outcome measures, performance concerns, and opportunities within the organization. Moreover, it elaborates and outlines a strategy to enhance healthcare quality and patient safety outcomes. This strategy is developed using a change model, ensuring patient care is thoroughly measured. 

Analysis of Organizational Functions, Processes, and Behaviors

High-performing organizations have several vital functions, effective processes, and stakeholders’ behaviors that contribute to patient safety and quality of care, especially in in-patient falls. High-performing organizations have effective administration, prioritizing patient safety and quality of care by incorporating evidence-based practices. This safety and quality culture helps stakeholders prevent in-patient falls and mitigate associated risks, significantly reducing patient harm and improving the quality of care (Bhati et al., 2023). Moreover, high-performing organizations prioritize a culture of accountability and continuous learning (Mataac, 2023). The stakeholders create open communication channels and feedback mechanisms to encourage staff to report incidents, participate in root cause analysis, and actively engage in quality improvement initiatives related to fall prevention. 

However, despite these strengths, specific knowledge gaps and uncertain areas require further information. There may be unanswered questions regarding the effectiveness of specific evidence-based practices in diverse care settings. Moreover, while these organizations successfully achieve positive outcomes in the short term, questions remain regarding the sustainability of these practices. The questions regarding staff readiness to change and improve quality remain there. Furthermore, the availability of resources to implement these practices is a significant concern. Addressing these knowledge gaps and uncertain areas is imperative to develop targeted and functional plans for our organization. 

Organizational Functions, Processes, and Behaviors and Outcome Measures

The aforementioned organizational functions, processes, and behaviors substantially impact the outcome measures identified for in-patient falls in gap analysis. Organizations that prioritize patient safety and quality of care and foster a culture of accountability and continuous learning directly impact fall rates, fall-related injuries, and healthcare costs. Organizations can reduce fall rates by implementing evidence-based practices that promote quality care and patient safety. These practices include comprehensive fall risk assessments, personalized care plans, and environmental safety measures (LeLaurin & Shorr, 2020). 

Similarly, a culture of accountability and continuous learning through open communication channels and feedback mechanisms enables the organization to identify system weaknesses, implement corrective actions, and continuously improve fall prevention strategies. These systemic functionalities support the reduction of fall rates and fall-related injuries. Additionally, prioritizing patient safety and quality of care, encouraging staff to report incidents, and participating in quality improvement initiatives contribute to cost containment efforts. The practices help organizations minimize fall rates and injuries, reducing healthcare expenditures related to extended hospital stays, diagnostic tests, and rehabilitation services (Dykes et al., 2023). 

This determination assumes that evidence-based practices improve patient outcomes, foster patient safety, and reduce costs (Connor et al., 2023). Moreover, it is presumed that leadership commitment and support of administrative functions and processes lead to the availability of adequate resources and quality improvement efforts. Additionally, a supportive and encouraging culture enables healthcare providers to become accountable for their practices, thus enhancing overall performance in fall prevention and patient safety.

Identification of Quality and Safety Outcomes and Measures

Social Acceptability of White-Collar Crime

White-Collar Crime has been recognized as an issue since 1939, when it was brought up
in a political meeting by a professor of sociology Edwin Sutherland (FBI 2016). He insisted on
corporate crime offenders who have been treated fairer compared to violent street crimes. White-
collar crimes were somewhat unknown to many people, especially during the world war era in
1939. The US citizen's attention was highly pivoted on trivial crimes while crimes of the
corporate class were easily unnoticed. These crimes have, however, parachuted as technology
has been evolving. Such crimes include fraud, Ponzi scheme, espionage, money laundering, tax
evasion and embezzlement. White-collar crime has cost the US an economic loss estimated at
$250 billion to $1 trillion annually (Martinez,2014).
Additionally, most white-collar crimes go unnoticed since they are less prone to violence
and physical pressure. Those notices are on deaf ears, for they are either unreported or scrapped
off. Blue-collar crimes are easily manned by police officers who target workers in relatively
unskilled environments. Take your time, and let's tour through various perspectives of the social
acceptability of white-collar crimes in the United States. White-collar criminals are taken as
more socially acceptable in the following ways:
White-collar crime victims are considered unpunished criminals by many enlightened
individuals. More attention is geared toward street crimes than the white-collar corporate crimes
in the country. It is common to find justice served better on a fraudulent criminal or an
embezzlement star than a street criminal on a shop theft. In the event of justice, there is a huge
difference in how those crimes are conducted; for instance, the federal crew has to conduct a lot
of intensive investigation. It is not new dawn to find that the crimes end up without justice due to
lack of evidence. In addition, corporate criminals are always backed up by very powerful
lawyers. The involved parties highly pay these lawyers to represent them in courts. It is the legal
duty to defend their victims to ensure they receive no penalties, reduce their punishment or be
released on bail terms.
White-collar crimes are known to bring major economic catastrophe in the US. The FBI
has recorded devastating reports of families who had their lives bent instantly. Companies will
be brought down overnight as all savings are siphoned within an eye. Similarly, a major loss in a
company is experienced when the fraudsters conduct a single money heist getting away with
millions of bucks. White-collar criminals wreak havoc on the finances of the United States
(Friedrichs, 2009). These crimes directly impact individuals who have been victimized as well
the entire economy of the country. White-collar criminals are individuals of diligence and
cognitive prowess who hold corporate business positions. A single shot by such criminals would
cost the country huge economic blows affecting the supply of resources to its citizens.
Planned bank fraud may render banks closing down, leading to slowed transactions and
thus public unrest by account owners. The above statement is connected to a case study of the
Lehman brothers (Mamudi, 2008). The brothers are notoriously famous for leading a company
bankrupt using a single scam that brainwashed editors and other senior executives in their
company. The company was the fourth-largest company in the US when it fell out of place. It
was such an embarrassment as employees from all levels of workers walked out in public and
headed to their homes jobless. The company lost billions of money both in assets and liabilities;
all brought about by embezzlement within its operations. The company had been alive, active
and thriving for a very long time. It had surpassed many economic crises that led to great
companies' failure, especially during the world war. It was unfortunate that it only fell in 2008 on
white-collar crimes. The government did not bother to prosecute or even apprehend the Lehman
brothers for their openly committed crime. The case was rested and packed in the abyss of no
return.
It is important to share some food for thought that crimes committed in a corporate
setting may hinder more harm to the society since some social traits will be broken down. A
social aspect is lost when practices like scams happen in a given company, like a loss of trust.
Some behaviors that incorporate companies may not be prohibited but may bring adverse effects
on other individuals within or without the company (Payne,<

Principles Underpinning Development of Resources for Learning and

Development

Learning and development are systematic growth that enhances an individual’s ability
to understand skills, knowledge, and competency. The principle underpinning learning and
development is the provision of training and training resources. Training must enhance the
acquisition of skills and knowledge, which will provide practice of the knowledge learned.
The availability of training resources enhances learning and development, builds confidence,
and makes learning meaningful. The resources available for learning should be relatable to
the skills taught during the training. During the training, the learner’s interests are taken into
account as it fastens the process of learning. The methodology of training should vary from
one group of learners to the other. Learning and development should embrace the presence of
learners from different cultures, thus providing resources that help them appreciate cultural
diversity. Lack of resources in learning centres may hinder learning and development for
learners. Training personnel like teachers should be available to provide teaching services to
learners.
Financial constraints are a factor to be considered in learning and development. The
availability of adequate resources for training requires funds to develop sustainably.
(Topkaraoglu, 2017, p.1) Learners understand better when they are provided with resources
that enhance their acquisition of knowledge. The practical application enhances learning and
development with the availability of funds to purchase the required resources. Globalization
has advanced education and development into a more advanced one. Thus, the resources to
facilitate the learning process need funding to buy the necessary devices. For example,
students use computers, laptops, desktops to learn, and it is costly to have these devices.
Availability of funds may enhance and improve learning and development as the internet has
fastened the process of learning. Digital learning is expensive, which requires funding in

Resources for learning and development 3
purchasing the devices needed for learning. Teachers need to be trained on computer literacy
to fit in the growing technology world thus the need for finances to hire tutors with
knowledge in digital learning.
Active learning opportunities enhance the development and learning process. Active
learning in students promotes a deeper understanding of skills and knowledge of materials.
Students prefer learning where there are materials to enhance a more profound experience.
Active learning fosters concentration in learners as it facilitates faster learning and
development. Coherence to standards and policies of learning and development enhances
learning and development. Learning and development require guidelines that trainers adhere
to when teaching and providing skills. The implementation of policies in education enhances
a high standard of learning and development. Integrated content enhances learning and
development as they are endowed with soft skills that make them competitive. Integrated
learning helps learners grasp more skills through acquisition, association, and practice. When
learners participate in educative activities, they are more productive as they relate to the
theoretical work learned to current life situations. Learning is more productive when learners
are involved in co-curricular activities which not only builds developmental skills but also
cognitive.
Principles Underpinning Resource Selection for Learning and Development
The availability of resources enhances learning and development. The selection of
resources must be under the curriculum of any learning institution. The choice of resources
incorporates the ministry of education, teachers, stakeholders, and publishers. (Farshad et al.,
2020, p.90) The resources produced must satisfy the needs of learners in covering the
syllabus according to the curriculum. The publishers and authors must meet high standards of
quality in creating content. The selection of resources is guided by the department of every

Resources for learning and development 4
subject in each class. Different learners acquire knowledge progressively depending on their
age, development, and growth. The criteria used in selecting resources in learning and
development are curriculum appropriateness, interest to students during learning, promote
learner’s interests in education and instill skills like problem-solving, which should be
flexible and cost-effective. During the select

Structure of Local Governments is Relevant to Inequality in the US
Rural development has affected the interest of many people and organizations.
&quot;Metropolitan fragmentation,&quot; as it is often known, refers to a system in which cities are
encircled by suburban rings of numerous separate towns, villages, and other local
governments that overlap with counties and special districts; this is a pattern that is also
popular in the United States. Most debates on rural development tend to overlook the critical
link between it and the administrative system. As the United States&#39; development philosophy
has evolved, one recurring theme has been searching for a grass-roots institutional strategy
that achieves the dual goals of strengthening participatory development at the local level
while also establishing local governments as key vehicles of local democracy and service
delivery. While the United States Constitution emphasizes the significance of local
government, a rich body of reform proposals has maintained the subject at the forefront of
public debate on the inequality facing the local government structure.
Even though local governments have both the resources and the ability to influence
urban education policy directly, regime theorists tend to undervalue the roles that governors,
federal legislatures leading to inequality in education. New Jersey State has taken over
schools in Newark to show why and how a local government may lead an urban education
regime (Benjamin &amp; Nathan, 2001). When it comes to education, the instance of Newark
demonstrates how politics and structural constraints compelled the state government to alter
the character of the educational system and actively influence education policy at the
municipal level. It draws attention to the state government&#39;s role in restructuring an educator-
cantered alliance that was in charge of a low-performing public school system. In other cases,
they have fallen due to the federal-led system. Federal political actors retain their ability and
motive to join governing coalitions in metropolitan areas. Therefore, it is critical to
understand the role of the state government in such alliances that attributes to the inequality
in education.
Urban Sprawl is also cited for having negatively affected the local governments&#39;
structure over the years leading to inequality. In addition to the many negative consequences
for residents and the environment, urban sprawl has many negative implications for human
health, including higher rates of obesity, high blood pressure, hypertension, and chronic
diseases; higher rates of traffic fatalities and jams; loss of agricultural capacity; increased
reliance on automobiles; higher taxes; increased runoff into rivers and lakes; decreased social
capital; and loss of natural habitats, wildland fires, and wildlife (Benjamin &amp; Nathan, 2001).
Urban sprawl is the expansion of poorly planned, low-density, auto-dependent development
that spreads out over large areas of land, putting long distances between homes, stores, and
places of employment and creating high segregation between residential and commercial
uses, all of which have negative consequences for the people who live in these areas as well
as the ecosystems and wildlife that have been displaced as a result of this development.
Many cities in the global south have witnessed a significant increase in their
inhabitants, resulting in fast and uncontrolled expansion increasing the gap between the rich
and the poor. According to Burns (2003), this is development at the request of developers
rather than development guided by sound policy. Land markets are being skewed, individuals
are being priced out of their homes, and informal settlements and regions without access to
essential transportation and infrastructure services are seeing considerable increases. Burns
(2003) points out that major work is necessary to guide growth in the global south in a more
sustainable direction, noting that development is harming agricultural areas, biodiversity
hotspots, vital wetlands, and urban flood plains, among other things.
The uncontrolled development associated with urban sprawl, particularly in urban flood
plains or near bodies of water, can worsen the damage caused by floods, monsoons,
hurricanes, and other weather patterns that are becoming more severe due to climate change.
Cities with higher incomes, particularly in China, have seen tremendous upward expansion,
as shown by the construction of new high-rises and skyscrapers (Grimmelikhuijsen &amp;
Feeney, 2017). After some t

Part 1

At Aston Martinez, we are just as committed to making sure our employees have a
positive time as our customers do when they work for us. The well-being of our employees is a
top priority as we work toward our goal of increased productivity. To that end, anthropometric
data is being used for the redesign of the office&#39;s workstations to ensure a comfortable fit for
workers of varying heights and build. Because of the wide range of body types present in our
workforce, we must provide them with height-adjustable workstations to minimize the risk of
injury and discomfort.
Ergonomics is a critical part of the design process since it helps make sure the final
product is something people will want to use. Damage to a user&#39;s body, mind, or spirit, or even
damage or disease, may result from using a product with a subpar design (Martin et al., 2013).
Considerations for the user&#39;s size, strength, dexterity, eyesight, and hearing are all taken into
consideration while designing with ergonomics in mind. The design&#39;s cost-effectiveness,
efficiency, and usability may all be improved with the aid of ergonomics. In the end, ergonomics
may aid in the development of goods and services that are more beneficial to both consumers and
the planet.
According to Sun et al. (2019), despite their broad availability and mass production,
ergonomic tools and accessories are sometimes more costly than their non-ergonomic
equivalents. However, the cost savings realized via the adoption of ergonomic tools are
substantial enough to justify the initial investment. As a result, we&#39;re taking into consideration a
variety of adjustability in the height of desks, chairs, armrests, seat pan width and depth, and
video display unit height as we develop new workstations for our office workers who spend long

hours at the computer (VDU). Our proposed design is flexible enough to fit 90% of the
population of the United Kingdom without any special modifications.

Anthropometry is the study of human anatomy and physiology. Insight into human
variability may be gained by using it to evaluate body size, shape, and proportions. Dimensions
of the human body that are considered to be anthropometric include the size of the head, the
height, the weight, and the length of the limbs. Age, sex, ethnicity, and health are just some of
the things that may be determined by these (Bhise, 2011). They may also be used to spot issues
with a child&#39;s maturation. Body fat, sugar, and cholesterol levels are only a few examples of
diseases that may be predicted using anthropometric data. They are also helpful for evaluating
the success of programs meant to boost wellness and lessen vulnerability to chronic diseases.
Anthropometry may also be used to compare and contrast populations, illuminating the
variations in morphology and health status that exist amongst communities. Public health
strategies and initiatives aiming at minimizing health inequalities may be better informed by this
information.

In my design, I am focusing on men aged 18 to 40, with an average height of 1.75 m and
weight of 70 kg. Because this group represents the bulk of adult males, they were chosen for
study. For each calculation, we choose to focus on the relationship between the subject&#39;s height,
weight, and midsection measurement. Since this proportion of the population is the most reliable,
I am basing my designs on it. This share was chosen to guarantee a sizable representation of the
population and broad applicability of the design to members of the intended audience.

How the Horror TV Series American Horror Story and the Walking

Abstract

This research paper aims to examine how the horror TV series American Horror Story and The Walking Dead challenge and reinforce traditional gender roles and expectations. Through character and plot analysis, this paper will explore how each series uses horror to challenge or reinforce traditional gender roles and expectations. This paper will also compare the portrayal of gender roles and expectations in each series and discuss the implications for the role of horror in media and society. This research will contribute to a better understanding of the portrayal of gender roles and expectations in horror media and how it reflects and influences societal expectations.

Introduction

The horror genre has long played a significant role in media, offering audiences a way to confront their fears and explore taboo topics in a safe, fictional setting. Two popular horror TV series that have gained widespread attention in recent years are American Horror Story and The Walking Dead. Both series have garnered a large fan base and impacted the horror genre and society. This research paper examines how American Horror Story and The Walking Dead challenge and reinforce traditional gender roles and expectations through their portrayal of horror. The paper will analyze the characters and plot of both series to understand how they challenge or reinforce traditional gender roles and expectations. We will also compare the portrayal of gender roles and expectations in each series and discuss the implications for the role of horror in media and society. The portrayal of horror in the American Horror Story and The Walking Dead TV series challenges traditional gender roles and expectations through the representation of strong and complex female characters and the subversion of traditional gender power dynamics.

Background and Context

Traditional gender roles and expectations refer to the societal expectations and norms associated with being a man or woman (Shnabel 14). These expectations can vary by culture and can be influenced by factors such as religion, social class, and ethnicity. However, in general, traditional gender roles and expectations tend to emphasize certain characteristics and behaviors as being more appropriate for men or women. For example, men are often expected to be strong, rational, and assertive, while women are expected to be emotional, caring, and nurturing.

The horror genre has a long history in media, with roots dating back to ancient mythology and folklore. Horror has often been used to explore and confront societal fears and anxieties related to gender. In recent years, horror has become increasingly popular on television, with shows such as American Horror Story and The Walking Dead becoming major hits.

American Horror Story and The Walking Dead use horror to challenge and explore traditional gender roles and expectations. This research paper aims to examine how these two series use horror to challenge or reinforce traditional gender roles and expectations, as well as compare and discuss the portrayal of gender roles and expectations in each series. This research will contribute to a better understanding of the role of horror in media and society and how it reflects and influences societal expectations.

American Horror Story

American Horror Story (AHS) is an anthology horror series aired on FX since 2011. Each season of AHS tells a self-contained story with a new setting and cast of characters, ranging from a haunted house to a witch coven to a psychiatric hospital. AHS has gained a reputation for its diverse and complex characters and for tackling taboo subjects such as mental illness, addiction, and sexual assault.

AHS portrays gender roles and expectations through its characters and plot in various ways. On the one hand, AHS includes several strong female characters who challenge traditional gender roles and expectations. For example, the character of Cordelia Foxx in the season “Coven” is the leader of a group of witches. It defies traditional gender roles by being a powerful and assertive woman (Lopes 116). The character of Misty Day in the season “Coven” is also a strong and independent woman who defies traditional gender roles by rejecting societal expectations of femininity and embracing her unique identity.

However, AHS also includes characters that reinforce traditional gender roles and expectations, particularly through gender stereotypes and gender-based violence. For example, the character of Kit Walker in the season “Asylum” is a man who is portrayed as weak and vulnerable, reinforcing traditional gender roles that expect men to be strong and dominant (Earle 11)

A Thematic Tour of “A Sunday on La Grande Jatte” and “PixCell-Deer#24”

This thematic tour will examine two artworks that explore the theme of modernity and its effects on society: Georges Seurat’s A Sunday on La Grande Jatte, 1884, and Kohei Nawa’s PixCell-Deer#24, 2011. Both works present unique perspectives on this theme. The thematic tour will examine visual elements, design principles, subject matter, social-historical context, and the meaning of both works to compare and contrast their approaches to the theme of modernity and its effects on society. By comparing and contrasting these works, we can gain a deeper understanding of the complexities of modernity and its impact on the human experience.

Georges Seurat’s A Sunday on La Grande Jatte, 1884

Subject Matter

The subject matter of A Sunday on La Grande Jatte is a group of people enjoying a leisurely afternoon on the banks of the River Seine (Artincontext, 2022). The scene is full of activity, as people engage in various activities such as picnicking, boating, and playing music. Seurat included a wide range of people in the scene, including the wealthy and the working class, suggesting a sense of social unity.

Visual Elements

The visual elements of A Sunday on La Grande Jatte are characterized by the pointillist technique and Seurat’s careful attention to detail. The painting is divided into a series of geometric shapes, further broken down into smaller dots of color (Seurat, n.d). It creates a sense of depth and movement in the scene, as the viewer’s eye is drawn to the various dots of color. The use of bright, bold colors also adds to the overall vibrancy of the scene.

Principles of Design

The use of balance, unity, and emphasis are all present in Sunday on the Grand Jatte. It has some geometric figures and shapes to keep things in check (Seurat, n.d). The use of color and recurring form establishes a firm understanding. Seurat highlights the young woman in white who serves as the painting’s focal point.

Social-Historical Context

A Sunday on La Grande Jatte was created during Paris’s significant social and economic change. The Industrial Revolution brought significant technological and industrial advances, leading to rapid city expansion (Artincontext, 2022). The painting reflects this change and progress, depicting leisure and leisure activities becoming more accessible to the middle and working classes.

Meaning

A Sunday on La Grande Jatte has multiple meanings. It celebrates modernity’s riches and progress. The middle and working classes could take advantage of the newfound leisure time and material prosperity made possible by the Industrial Revolution. The artwork may also criticize modernity’s downsides, such as the loss of traditional ways of life and social estrangement.

Kohei Nawa’s PixCell-Deer#24, 2011

Subject Matter

The subject matter of PixCell-Deer#24 is the relationship between nature and technology. Using a taxidermied deer and the pixelated pattern created by the beads suggest merging the natural world with the artificial world of technology (Crothers, 2018). The pose of the deer also adds to this theme, as it seems to be looking at something beyond its immediate surroundings, perhaps symbolizing the way that technology can connect us to the world beyond our physical selves.

Visual Elements

The visual elements of PixCell-Deer#24 include using the taxidermied deer and the beads covering its surface (MFA Art Writing, n.d.). The beads are arranged in pixelated patterns, creating a sense of artificiality and digitalization. The deer is also posed in a natural position, adding realism to the work. The use of transparent beads allows the natural form of the deer to show through, creating a tension between the natural and the artificial.

Principles of Design

PixCell-Deer#24 adheres to unity, proportion, and focus design concepts. The taxidermied deer, the beads, and the repeated pixelated pattern combine to form a unified whole (Crothers, 2018). The symmetry of the beadwork and the deer’s realistic stance contribute to the piece’s overall harmony. Emphasis is created through the pixelated pattern, which draws the viewer’s attention to the deer’s surface and how it merges with the natural form.

Social-Historical Context

PixCell-Deer#24 was created in the 21st century when technology became integral to daily life. The use of a taxidermied deer also speaks to the way that technology has the power to preserve and manipulate the n<

Privacy Breach—HIPAA Violation

Tobacco cessation is one of the key current public health problems in New Orleans, Louisiana, as it relates to young adults aged 18-35, who tend to maintain much higher smoking

rates than the national average and bear significant consequential health risks and economic burdens and for that matter, negative impacts bestowing on society as a result (Yoo, 2022). This can be influenced by social norms, such as peer pressure and cultural practices that inadvertently encourage smoking, and economic factors related to healthcare costs; addressing this challenge can improve health outcomes and lower aggregate community healthcare expenditures. The aim of this plan is to promote tobacco cessation in New Orleans, Louisiana through education, easing access to smoking cessation resources, and engaging the community to provide a very supportive environment in which young adults can quit smoking and begin the pursuit of healthier behaviors.

Analyses of the Use of Tobacco among New Orleans, Louisiana

Use of tobacco among the young adult population in New Orleans, Louisiana is a vital issue concerning public health. According to estimates, nearly one in four young adults in this age group are regular smokers, which is extremely high compared to the national average of 14% in U.S (Cornelius, 2023). This disparity underlines the need to have targeted interventions aimed at the specific barriers and behaviors of such a unique demographic in this vibrant city.

Among the factors that may contribute to higher rates of smoking in young adults in New Orleans are the following: social influences, especially peer pressure and cultural norms, play a significant role in continued smoking behavior. In a city as famous for its cultural festivals and social events as New Orleans, there is likely a subset of the population in which smoking has become so normative that it’s harder to have behaviors curtailed even as knowledge about health risks increases. Other major factors that lead to continuous smoking include more exposure to the stressors of urban life and easy accessibility of tobacco products (Talluri et al., 2020). This, therefore, necessitates the urgent development of quitting strategies specifically for this population.

Coordination of care in domestic violence can be defined as the intentional use of care services and efforts in relation to the improved safety of the patient experiencing domestic violence. This approach entails collaboration of healthcare givers, social workers, police, lawyers, patients, their relatives and the public. Hoping to capitalize on the existing government and community resources, it seeks to meet the multiple needs of the targeted high-risk population via a coordinated intervention plan. The strategy involves the community resources, the intervention procedures, the ethical dilemmas, and the local, state, and federal policies corresponding with Healthy People 2030 objectives to enhance the life of the victims of domestic violence.

Healthcare Issues and Interventions

The social, physical, psychological and other health implication of domestic violence cannot be overemphasized as it has effect on the victim. Domestic violence has several impacts on health in the following ways.

Health Issue 1: Chronic Physical Pain

The impact of domestic violence includes chronic physical pain, which is a consequence of physical abuse in which victims are likely to participate. It can be chronic headaches, back pain, or managed musculoskeletal injuries that may lead to disabilities. This cycle of violence does not only cause acute injuries but has other effects, which specifically affect the nervous system. In addition, the psychological factor of domestic violence can even amplify the phenomenon of pain, making it a synthesis for physical and psycho-emotional states (Uvelli et al., 2023).

Hello and welcome to this training tutorial for new nurses on the importance of nursing-sensitive quality indicators. Today, we are going to discuss very critical element of nursing care: Nursing Care Hours per Patient Day. Proper understanding and effective management of NCHPPD are reliable ways for improved patient outcomes, efficient usage of resources, and better quality in health care. This presentation is aimed at providing you with deep insight into the NCHPPD and the facility it offers towards RN-to-patient ratio, patient safety, and improving quality care by focusing National Database for Nursing-Sensitive Quality Indicators (NDNQI). Upon completion of this tutorial, you will have gained adequate knowledge to assist in the optimization of nursing hours of care and realize improved outcomes for patients.

National Database for Nursing-Sensitive Quality Indicators

The National Database for Nursing-Sensitive Quality Indicators (NDNQI) is the largest database developed to assist in improving quality nursing care through the gathering of nursing-specific data and its analysis (Madaris & Potter, 2023). NDNQI supports evidence-based practice and provides health care organizations with a benchmark by which they can measure their nursing performance and work toward betterment. The National Database of Nursing Quality Indicators use best practices and quality patient outcomes by tracking metrics that are directly influenced by nursing interventions and the number of registered nurses (Coelho, 2019). This database identifies trends, sets goals, and develops strategies for quality improvement in nursing care. This ensures that the health institution maintains high standards of safety and quality care for patients, hence achieving better patient outcomes (Mainz et al., 2022).

Nursing-Sensitive Indicator

Nursing-sensitive indicators refer to structure, process, and outcome metrics of nursing care. Therefore, this would include such measures as staffing levels and patient outcomes, such as hospital-acquired pressure ulcers, and processes like patient assessments. These indicators can be

Preliminary Care Coordination

Preliminary Care Coordination provides the foundation on which individualized patient care plans are established and implemented, including patients, families, caregivers, health care professionals and agencies. It helps in proper planning and disbursement of resources to avoid hitches in the communication and overall functioning of the body. This assessment specifically targets the first care management of domestic violence incidences. The plan therefore seeks to cater for the physical, emotional, and psychological requirements of the victims of domestic violence. Its objectives include the stabilization of victims in the emergency phase, medical and psychological intervention, referral to other community agencies, and monitoring. The aim of this Preliminary Care Coordination is to address all the needs of the victims while ensuring their well-being and protection.

Perceptive Analysis of Health Concern

During my practice as a staff nurse, I have learned that domestic violence is one of the most pressing social issues that needs addressing effectively and urgently (Lanchimba et al., 2023). Due to social and psychological causes, domestic violence requires comprehensive measures for the prevention of violence against vulnerable individuals. Abuse leads to physical and psychological traumas, which have an impact on health. Healthcare practitioners should remain responsive to the needs of victims and endorse all efforts to fight domestic violence. Education of the community is a critical component in ensuring that the public is informed of what is considered abuse, the available prevention measures and the necessary steps to be taken to support victims.

Intervention can only be achieved with the support of the healthcare practitioners, social service professionals, and the government. This entails crisis intervention services, legal advocacy, support groups and education for breaching the social contract by any of the parties

This presentation focuses on developing a care coordination plan to improve government policies, ethical viewpoints, and the roles of medical and paramedical staff, including nurses, in GLMA policies.

Slide 2:

Factors of Health Policy in Care Coordination

A care coordination plan is a detailed health care plan put in place to address the health needs of an individual or a group of people (Karam et al., 2021). While formulating a healthcare policy for care coordination, the following factors need to be taken into account. This policy purviews aspects such as education and training of healthcare professionals, ethical standards, relations between professions, questions of privacy and confidentiality, consensus obtaining, and healthcare equality and availability.

It is also necessary to pay attention to the various prejudices concerning gender orientation, diseases, and other factors. It is crucial to raise awareness among the public on how to incorporate these health factors to promote inclusive health care.

Slide 3:

Governmental Policies Affecting ANA

There are government policies, which serve as useful frameworks for coordinating health systems throughout the country. The American Nurses Association (ANA), which produces the key documents outlining the scope of nursing practice, is impacted by these governmental policies (Copeland, 2020). Obamacare is a massive healthcare policy that brought changes to the US

My name is [] and today I will be discussing a crucial aspect of our nursing practice: Coordinated continuity of care. The goal of this video presentation is to introduce the topic of care coordination to the audience. Care coordination entails the design of patient care activities and the sharing of information with the aim of promoting the safety and efficiency of healthcare services. When discussing care coordination challenges, I will also address how they can impact patient outcomes, especially those in community care setting. We will also discuss about community resources, legal and ethical issues, and policies and guidelines in this process. Okay, let’s get started and know all those things that we can do in order for better coordination in the practice.

Evidence-Based, And Culturally Sensitive Strategies

In order to address patient’s needs, provide individualized care, nurses should use knowledge based and culturally appropriate approaches. Therefore, clinical activities need to be modified and tailored according to the patients in order to avoid offending their cultural beliefs. These strategies acknowledge the fact that every patient has different values, preferences, and beliefs, thus helping to move toward patient-centered care.

Shared Decision-Making

Patient involvement is a concept that has been supported by research and is encompassed by the concept of SDM. When the doctors know the patient’s values, preferences, and circumstances, then there are better chances that the selected treatments will be complied with by the patients (Kwame & Petrucka, 2021). It promotes patient involvement and creates a collaborative relationship between the patient and the provider. Patient engagement through

Coordination of care in domestic violence can be defined as the intentional use of care services and efforts in relation to the improved safety of the patient experiencing domestic violence. This approach entails collaboration of healthcare givers, social workers, police, lawyers, patients, their relatives and the public. Hoping to capitalize on the existing government and community resources, it seeks to meet the multiple needs of the targeted high-risk population via a coordinated intervention plan. The strategy involves the community resources, the intervention procedures, the ethical dilemmas, and the local, state, and federal policies corresponding with Healthy People 2030 objectives to enhance the life of the victims of domestic violence.

Healthcare Issues and Interventions

The social, physical, psychological and other health implication of domestic violence cannot be overemphasized as it has effect on the victim. Domestic violence has several impacts on health in the following ways.

Health Issue 1: Chronic Physical Pain

The impact of domestic violence includes chronic physical pain, which is a consequence of physical abuse in which victims are likely to participate. It can be chronic headaches, back pain, or managed musculoskeletal injuries that may lead to disabilities. This cycle of violence does not only cause acute injuries but has other effects, which specifically affect the nervous system. In addition, the psychological factor of domestic violence can even amplify the phenomenon of pain, making it a synthesis for physical and psycho-emotional states (Uvelli et al., 2023).

4060: Practicing in the Community to Improve Population Health

The United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund, popularly known as UNICEF, is one of the organizations under the United Nations responsible for promoting children across the world. Working in over 190 countries and territories, UNICEF works on ensuring that the world becomes a place where each child survives, thrives, and is able to bring out their full potential (UNICEF, 2022). The report outlines how UNICEF has supported the improvement of public health and safety, advocated children’s rights, and has managed projects aimed at offering improved living conditions. Such areas shall be useful in bringing the relevance and value of UNICEF into sharp perspective with respect to the protection of children’s rights and the betterment of their lives.

UNICEF’s Vision and Mission

The United Nations International Children Emergency Fund is based on a vision and mission. It has a mission that centers on the goal to promote and protect every child’s life and ensure that they get equal opportunities from birth to the youth stage. The vision of UNICEF is a world where every child gets a chance to grow up healthy, receives a quality education, and is safe. UNICEF fight for the elimination of poverty, inequities, and violence (Hendel, 2022). This vision and mission manifest in the shape of programs that bring long-term changes in the health, security, and well-being of children around the world.

Initiative Supporting UNICEF’s Mission

One of the efforts that UNICEF seeks to promote to improve public health is immunization. UNICEF is the largest buyer of vaccines in the world. Through its immunization programs, it reaches almost half of the children worldwide against life-threatening illnesses like measles, polio, and tetanus (Thompson & Kalkowska, 2021). A key example of this commitment

Assessing the Problem: Leadership, Collaboration, Communication, Change Management, and Policy Considerations

Patient health problem is an ailment that can have effect on the mental, physical or medical health of the patient. It can be any disease or any form of injury either acute or chronic one require medical attention. Diabetes is a chronic disease resulting from body’s inability to produce adequate insulin or properly utilize the insulin. There are two major types; Type 1 diabetes characterized by the immune system attacking cells that produce insulin and Type 2 diabetes characterized by the body being unable to use the insulin produced or producing enough insulin. The complications include cardiovascular disease, neuropathy, retinopathy, kidney damage, and increased susceptibility to infections. According to an estimate by Center of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), among the U.S. population overall, 29.7 million people or 8.9% of the U.S. population had diagnosed diabetes (CDC, 2024).

The assessment evaluates the current evidence based practice as well as state and government policies in relation to the nursing practice. Other topics that will be covered include communication and interprofessional collaboration and leadership strategies.

Identification of a Patient’s Health Problem

During my practicum, I was required to spend two hours with a patient of diabetes and get acquainted with the patient’s perceived experience of the disease and its effect on the quality of life. I spent two hours with Mr. Mathew. He told me about his concern of diabetes. Mr. Mathew is a 45 years’ male of Caucasian origin diagnosed with diabetes for the last twenty years. He first developed symptoms of diabetes at the age of twenty-five. He considers family

Assessing the Problem: Technology, Care Coordination, and Community Resources Considerations
The efficacy of the care coordination plan for the patient depends on the efficient use of resources and scientific technology. It plays a very important role in determining the quality of care and patients’ outcomes in terms of safety and effectiveness. This case study is based on the practicum hours spent with a patient, Mr. Mathew, aged 45 years, male with a history of diabetes for the past twenty years as a nursing student. Apart from being a genetic disorder, work stress played a part in development of diabetes. His condition and the medication regime were discussed in detail in this therapy. I provided him with the care plan which includes the involvement of a medical team. The use of technology was an important part of the care plan formulated (Fallon et al., 2022).

My main area of concern in this assessment will be to describe the level of care, care coordination, resource utilization and the role of technology in managing and monitoring diabetes with special reference to the case of Mr. Mathew.

Impact of Healthcare Technology on Patient with Diabetes

In the conversation with Mr. Mathew, I was able to describe and discuss the usage and efficacy of the medical devices that are used in diabetes control, namely glucose measuring apparatus or the digital glucometer and wearable devices to monitor the fluctuations in glucose level over 24 hours such as smart watches or fitness trackers etc. Additionally, the use of the

Assessment 5: Intervention Presentation and Capstone Video Reflection

Several evidence-based nursing concepts are essential to improve the BSN curriculum development. These concepts underscore the integration of the latest research, patient preferences, and clinical competencies in curriculum decision-making. These concepts aim to prepare nursing students for competent, evidence-based clinical practices. Integration of these concepts impacts quality of care and patient safety (Song et al., 2021). 

In BSN curriculum development, evidence-based nursing concepts direct the selection and inclusion of content and teaching methodologies grounded in nursing research. For instance, nursing research and the growing healthcare landscape highlight the importance of patient-centered care. Patient-centered care ensures optimal patient outcomes and improved quality of care by understanding and valuing patients’ beliefs, needs, and preferences (Edgman-Levitan & Schoenbaum, 2021). Thus, the BSN curriculum could combine the concepts and principles of patient-centeredness so that students learn and apply evidence-based approaches to augment patient outcomes and improve clinical abilities. 

Another example of an evidence-based nursing concept is evolving infection control practices in response to new pathogens. The BSN curriculum can include infection prevention education to inform students about recent advancements and engage them in hands-on experiences to develop their skills. These skills are essential for nursing students to adapt their practice based on the best available nursing research findings. Eventually, nurturing an obligation to long-last learning and staying up-to-date on healthcare advancement. 

Integrating Nursing Theories

Several nursing theories impact the development of the BSN curriculum. Florence Nightingale’s Environmental Theory focuses on the impact of the environment on patient health. The theory highlights the significance of a healing environment in patient care, emphasizing cleanliness, light, and sanitation (Riegel et al., 2021). In designing a BSN curriculum, faculty can incorporate this theory by emphasizing the role of nurses in creating a conducive healthcare setting to treat and manage patients’ health conditions. The curriculum could elaborate on infection prevention and patient safety, ensuring nursing students comprehend and relate the theory’s principles in clinical settings. This theory provides a holistic approach to patient care, establishing committed and compassionate nursing professionals.

Another impactful nursing theory is Jean Watson’s Theory of Human Caring. Jean Watson’s theory highlights the significance of compassionate and patient-centered nursing practices. This theory explains that nursing care is beyond human interaction and must fulfill the patient’s emotional, religious, and cultural needs (Devi et al., 2022). Integrating this theory into the BSN curriculum refines nursing education to become more humanistic.

Nursing courses that establish respect and empathy, integrate compassionate behaviors into clinical practice, and improve communication skills result in positive patient outcomes. The curriculum may include role-playing and reflective assessments that motivate students and encourage them to show kindness towards patients. Through this theory, the BSN program highlights the value of patient-centeredness and holistic care, creating a workforce that promotes clinical skills, compassion, and patient empathy. 

Incorporating Best Practices 

The incorporation of effective and latest teaching and learning methodologies in nursing education is proven to enhance student learning outcomes. These best practices include active learning strategies and simulation-based teaching methods. Active learning involves engaging students in activities that foster their active participation. These activities are recognized for developing in-depth understanding, sustainability of information, and improving self-efficiency (Kalu et al., 2023).

Several active learning strategies can be incorporated into the BSN program, such as case studies and peer discussions, enhancing students’ critical thinking abilities. For example, integrating problem-based learning (PBL) scenarios into a context of care course allows nursing students to integrate theoretical knowledge into real-world situations. Active learning helps students understand the concepts and cultivates a culture of questioning and collaboration, preparing students to perform clinical practices as competent analysts.

Big Data in nursing practice has no unified definition. However, the baseline meaning of Big Data corresponds to the enormous size of data regarding volume, velocity, variety, and veracity (Wong et al., 2016).

The advancement of technology and clinical research studies has increased the amount of data handled in every facet of nursing practice. The use of big data in the clinical system has potential benefits and risks. This paper will discuss the potential benefits and risks associated with the utilization of big data in nursing clinical systems and propose one strategy to prevent the risks.

Medication administration errors (MEAs) are among the leading causes of disabilities, mortalities, lengthy hospitalization, and increased costs of compensating care services. According to Tsegaye et al. (2020), the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates the annual global cost associated with medication errors to be approximately $42 billion, accounting for about 0.7% of healthcare expenditures. Despite such ramifications, health organizations face challenges in eliminating medication mistakes because they can occur at any stage of the medication management process

Child vaccination is a widely accepted routine worldwide. However, there are ethical considerations that involve a balance between a parent’s right in allowing vaccination or their children and the benefits to public health emanating from vaccination of children. While healthcare givers are alive to the benefits of vaccination of children, they have to contend with the right of children to accept or refuse a vaccine.

It is the responsibility of health professionals to clarify to patients the merits they stand to gain from a vaccine and why it is necessary. For example, it is unethical and unreasonable to administer a vaccine to a child when they/their parents have no understanding of the vaccine. It is recommended that such health workers should explain to parents why their children a vaccine and what they stand to lose if their child does not get the jab.

Case Overview

Health policies may help create various strategies and build environments that promote healthy lifestyles, thus preventing obesity. Care providers can also encourage policy change and environments supporting obesity reduction (Bowen et al., 2018). Various government policies may affect the nursing scope of practice, thus influencing the management of obesity among African Americans. Obesity management requires the attention of RNs and APRNs.

The interdisciplinary team has the role of safeguarding electronic health information, whether they come into contact with the information directly or indirectly. Since the consequences of breaching the protection of electronic health information may affect the entire healthcare institution, each interdisciplinary team member needs to maintain privacy, security, and confidentiality safeguards. It is the role of the interdisciplinary team to promote patient safety. One way to promote patient safety is by safeguarding patient privacy and confidentiality and ensuring patient security. Effective safeguarding of sensitive electronic patient information requires the collaboration of the interdisciplinary team (Keshta & Odeh, 2021).

NURS-FPX4040 Assessment 2 Protected Health Information PHI Example 2

Electronic health records (EHRs) provide an e-version of protected health information, including patients’ demographics, progress notes, vital signs, past medical history, immunizations, and lab reports (CMS, 2021). In this sense, EHRs enable healthcare professionals to manage data by automating access to patients’ information.

Despite these benefits, handling data in electronic health records increases the likelihood of cyber security threats, including ransomware, hacking, unauthorized access, and phishing.

Therefore, this assessment elaborates on best practices for safeguarding patient data, laws related to protecting sensitive electronic health information, the importance of interdisciplinary approaches, and the essence of educating nurses about social media usage

Evidence-based practice involves the use of scientific research, patient preferences, and clinical knowledge to provide high quality care to patients. It is a critical approach to solving healthcare delivery problems by adopting the best intervention related to scientific research evidence. Changes guided by evidence from well-designed research increase patient comfort, safety, and outcomes.

McGonigle and Mastrian (2021) defined nursing informatics as the nursing subspecialty that enables nurses to master data, information, know-how, and wisdom through subspecialties that combine nursing science with information and computer science (p.56). Information technology has changed nursing care and transformed healthcare practice by assisting care delivery, supplementing decision-making, and predicting future trends in care using data. The used potential of technology to improve patient safety and quality of care is enormous (Schoenbaum & Carroll, 2020). 

Strategies to Improve Quality of Care, Enhance Patient Safety, and Reduce Costs

Medical centers may employ several strategies to keep treatment costs low while maintaining high standards. Big healthcare facilities are making similar efforts to curb the rising expense of hypertension management, which has been shown to affect both care quality and patient safety negatively. High-quality care needs enough resources to implement, and cutting down on these costs can lead to the provision of substandard care.

Interdisciplinary Plan Proposal NURS-FPX4010 Example

An interdisciplinary plan entails a series of activities created by a team of professionals from various fields, such as doctors, nurses, nutritionists, and informaticists. Healthcare institutions face problems that affect these professionals.

These include medical errors, staff shortages, the inadequacy of resources, and poor working conditions. These problems affect productivity issues, patient safety, and quality care delivery and can ruin an organization’s reputation hence the need for their management.

As noted earlier, the demand for healthcare services often circumvents the standard principles of economics. In this sense, factors influencing consumers’ willingness to pay for services extend beyond the service price. Folland et al. (2017) contend that healthcare differs from other goods because consumers do not respond to financial incentives (p. 42).

However, price matters when it comes to accessibility to healthcare services because people are willing to access more services when they become less costly in terms of out-of-pocket expenses. At this point, government incentives and insurance premiums significantly lower out-of-pocket costs, increasing demand for quality care services.

When considering how prices influence demand for healthcare services, it is clear that similar trends manifest in the automobile industry since the demand for care increases with decreased costs and vice versa. The inverse relationship between price and demand is consistent in almost all consumer goods, including healthcare services and automobiles.

Access to quality healthcare services is a constitutional right and a subject of economic scrutiny. In this sense, it is essential to incorporate principles of demand and supply to determine efficiency, effectiveness, values, and consumer preferences regarding healthcare. Another justification for embracing health economics is to account for national and global expenditures for healthcare services, equipment, and infrastructure.

Similarities and Differences of Supply Curves for Healthcare Services and Automobiles

Advanced technologies, inputs prices, and production-related goods result in increased supply to maximize profit. An increase in supply makes the supply curve shift to the right and vice versa. Healthcare services are prone to advancing technologies that lead to increased supply and enhanced services. Also, increasing inputs prices in labor and processes prompt health organizations to increase supply to match these developments. Similarly, these trends consistently determine the supply of automobiles.

Business Ethics and Corporate Responsibility

Social obligation is a basic part of current corporate morals. Businesses today are expected to make money and be socially responsible, taking into account how their operations affect society, the environment, and other stakeholders (Saha et al., 2019). In this paper, we will apply moral hypotheses to contend that organizations have an honest conviction to be socially mindful while dealing with a moral issue.

Relationships Between the Various Parts of the Ethical Issues The scenario that was chosen brings up a number of ethical issues, such as corporate social responsibility, national security, and privacy. The organization Rmblppy (RP) should adjust the interests of different partners, including clients, the US government, and its investors.

PHI FPX 2000 Assessment 2  Business Ethics and Corporate Responsibility

One of the most important ethical issues is privacy (Atlam & Wills, 2019). Clients trust RP to safeguard their own data, and RP has an honest conviction to shield it. RP runs the risk of jeopardizing customer privacy by providing customer data to the US government, which could be detrimental to the trust and reputation of the business. National security is another ethical issue (Atlam & Wills, 2019). The US government is mentioning client information to help public safety examinations, which is a real concern. The risk of terrorist attacks, for example, must be taken into account by RP when denying the government access to this data.

Additionally, RP must take into account its CSR obligations. RP must be socially responsible because it is a public company. This entails taking into consideration the effects of its actions on all stakeholders, including customers, employees, shareholders, and the general public (Thompson et al., 2020). RP should adjust its commitment to safeguarding client security with its commitment to helping the public authority in safeguarding the general population.

Stakeholders’ Primary Interests

The scenario in which RP has to choose whether or not to give the US government customer data presents a conflict between the primary interests of multiple stakeholders. The following are the three stakeholders’ top priorities: customers. Customers’ top priority is protecting their privacy. They trust RP to keep their own data secret and anticipate that the organization should act to their greatest advantage. Customers also want to use RP’s platform without worrying that their data might be shared with the government without their permission.

US Government

The essential interest of the US government is public safety. It aims to shield Americans and others from dangerous activities and prevent terrorist attacks. The public authority might accept that getting client information from RP will support these endeavors and assist with safeguarding the general population.

RP Investors

The essential interest of RP investors is the organization’s monetary achievement. Investors have put resources into RP and anticipate that the organization should boost benefits and increment investor esteem. They might want RP to put financial gain ahead of other considerations because they are worried about how the decision might affect the company’s bottom line.

 Strategic Visioning with Stakeholders

Good morning everyone. I am Emma. Today, we unveil our strategic plan for elevating quality and safety within St. Mary’s Community Hospital. Our roadmap focuses on robust community partnerships, telemedicine expansion, and technology optimization. Through transparent communication, stakeholder engagement, and alignment with cultural, ethical, and regulatory considerations, we aim to drive meaningful improvements in patient care outcomes.

Strategic Plan Summary for Quality and Safety Improvements in a Care Setting

Three main objectives make up St. Mary’s Community Hospital’s strategic plan, which aims to achieve the desired improvements in quality and safety in the care setting. The first goal centers on establishing robust community partnerships to address healthcare disparities effectively. Within six months, the hospital aims to forge alliances with at least three community clinics and non-profits. This will be preceded by a comprehensive needs assessment conducted within the initial three months to identify priority areas for intervention. Over the subsequent nine months, tailored health education workshops or outreach programs will be developed based on the assessment findings. Additionally, the hospital aims to increase patient referrals from community organizations by 20% within the year (Andrasik et al., 2021).

The second goal involves the expansion of telemedicine services, aiming for a 30% increase in appointments within one year. This expansion will include incorporating specialty consultations and remote monitoring. To support this initiative, the hospital plans to establish five partnerships with community clinics and non-profits. However, challenges such as compatibility issues, data security concerns, and staff resistance to technology adoption must be addressed. Mitigation strategies include conducting thorough risk assessments, providing comprehensive training to staff members, and ensuring interoperability among different healthcare systems and devices (Payán et al., 2022).

NURS FPX 6210 Assessment 3 Strategic Visioning With Stakeholders

The third goal focuses on optimizing technology utilization to enhance patient care processes. Specific initiatives include integrating AI/ML algorithms into clinical decision support systems to improve diagnostic accuracy and ensure interoperability among different healthcare systems and devices. Key metrics include a 20% increase in efficiency through EHR optimization initiatives within one year, a 10% reduction in system errors within one year, and a 25% increase in patient referrals from community organizations.

However, challenges such as financial constraints impacting funding availability for technology optimization initiatives and regulatory compliance risks must be addressed. Mitigation strategies include developing strategic financial plans, exploring alternative funding streams, staying updated on regulatory developments, conducting regular compliance audits, and establishing robust governance frameworks (Aapro et al., 2020). Through these concerted efforts, St. Mary’s Community Hospital aims to achieve meaningful and sustainable improvements in patient care outcomes while upholding its mission, vision, and values.

Abstract

This paper addresses challenges faced by nurses at Villa Health in delivering efficient and high-quality health services due to understaffing and limited support from the Information Technology and Data Services (ITDS) division. The proposed solution involves implementing a Clinical Decision Support (CDS) system to improve response times and overall service delivery. The paper discusses technology change, standards and specifications criteria, comparison of technologies, legal and ethical considerations, technology impact, future relevance, and stakeholder influence

The short-term goal of establishing community partnerships directly supports the long-term goal of enhancing technology utilization by fostering collaboration and addressing immediate healthcare needs. By forging strategic alliances and implementing targeted interventions, St. Mary’s can lay the groundwork for long-term improvements in patient care delivery through technological advancements. Potential barriers such as community engagement challenges, technological implementation hurdles, and financial constraints will be impartially considered and addressed through transparent communication, comprehensive training, and strategic resource allocation (Renukappa et al., 2022).

Relevance of Proposed Goals to the Vision, Mission, and Values

The PDSA cycle will facilitate iterative testing of the new training program for faculty, which focuses on integrating case-based learning, simulation, and interprofessional education in the nursing curriculum. Using PDSA, small-scale changes can be tested and modified based on feedback before more comprehensive implementation, thus improving the likelihood of successful uptake within the organization (Baandrup et al., 2023).

Risk Management Plan: Identifying and Addressing Risks Using SAFER Guides

Comparison of the Current State with Desired State

Man-made intelligence innovations, for example, AI might actually be utilized to help with errands like evaluating tasks, giving customized criticism to understudies, and recognizing regions where understudies might require extra help. Artificial intelligence could likewise be utilized to make intelligent learning materials and reenactments, which could assist understudies with bettering grasp complex ideas and foster useful abilities.

Present status

The present status of the utilization of man-made intelligence is useful yet it has an issue of vulnerability to make sense of the complicated cases. Medical attendants have a few issues and legitimate simulated intelligence-based training isn’t accessible.

Wanted State

The ideal condition of nursing schooling expects to accomplish most extreme result in their clinical practices by consolidating simulated intelligence in their schooling. The medical attendants will be completely taught in regards to the artificial intelligence procedures and devices that will upgrade their clinical abilities to work on understanding consideration and security.

One wanted utilization of computer-based intelligence in nursing schooling is the utilization of augmented reality (VR) and expanded reality (AR) advancements to make vivid opportunities for growth that is presently ailing in the nursing training (Pottle, 2019). AR could likewise be utilized to furnish understudies with ongoing data and direction as they perform errands, for example, regulating prescriptions or performing evaluations (Shorey, 2019)

The present status is dependent on the conventional showing strategies and the ideal state prerequisite is to supplant the customary techniques by man-made intelligence based instruments and procedures. It ought to likewise be perceived that the utilization of computer-based intelligence in schooling may not be reasonable for all understudies, and facilities might should be made in current nursing schooling system for the people who may not profit from or experience issues cooperating with man-made intelligence fueled learning materials (Buchanan et al., 2021)

To assess the inside and outer variables that can affect the utilization of simulated intelligence in attendants’ learning I’m utilizing SWOT examination.

Qualities

Because of limit in access of instructive assets in the present status, the ideal state is meaning to reinforce the nursing schooling system by giving admittance to many instructive assets, for example, reproductions and virtual patient cases, that can upgrade learning and permit understudies to rehearse abilities in a protected climate.
Shortcomings

Despite the fact that the ideal state is pursuing collaborations and choice making rehearses simpler for them yet at the same time they might battle to adjust to learning with artificial intelligence, particularly on the off chance that they are curious about innovation or favor more conventional types of schooling.
Potential open doors

The present status has restricted open doors towards development and advancing yet the ideal state can assist with expanding the availability of nursing training, making it workable for understudies to gain from any place with a web association.
Dangers

Present status might have worries about the precision and unwavering quality of man-made intelligence based nursing schooling programs because of restricted admittance to simulated intelligence innovation yet the ideal state is satisfying this hole by the use of remote administrations gave by medical attendants instructed artificial intelligence apparatuses.

Assessment of Metrics

There are a few measurements that could be utilized to decide the advantages of computer based intelligence in the learning of nursing understudies. These may include:

Further developed test scores

One method for estimating the advantages of computer based intelligence in nursing training is to follow changes in test scores when the execution of computer based intelligence based learning apparatuses. This could incorporate both developmental evaluations, (for example, tests and practice tests) as well as tests and certificate tests.

Expanded maintenance and review of data

Man-made intelligence-based learning apparatuses can be intended to help nursing understudies hold and review data all the more successfully.

This capstone project has significantly enhanced my capacity to drive change in my own practice and prepare for future leadership jobs. During the process of planning and implementing the intervention plan, I learned about the difficulties of healthcare delivery and the value of interdisciplinary teamwork. Furthermore, by critically assessing the consequences of various strategies and technology, I have gained a deeper understanding of how to promote good change while taking into account the requirements of several stakeholders.

Furthermore, the project has helped me improve my project management, data analysis, and evidence-based decision-making abilities, all of which are necessary for effective healthcare leadership. By reviewing the intervention plan’s outcomes and finding areas for improvement, I learned the value of continual quality improvement as well as continued professional growth.

Integration of Resources

The intervention plan for treating geriatric falls is based on the recognition that falls in older individuals have serious consequences for their health and well-being. (Appeadu & Bordoni, 2023) highlight the relevance of fall prevention methods in reducing the number of falls and related injuries. Evidence from studies such as (Timotheou et al., 2022) supports the implementation of the intervention plan, which includes educational seminars and digital platforms for remote support. Such strategies are effective in promoting behavioral change and improving outcomes in older populations.

Furthermore, the evaluation plan designed to measure the impact of the intervention incorporates information from a variety of sources. Hawkins et al. (2024) address the relationship between fall prevention programs and lower fall rates among older persons, which serves as the foundation for the plan’s assessment criteria and data-gathering methodologies. Also, Phelan et al. (2020) emphasize the significance of continuous monitoring and assessment in determining the success of fall prevention measures and making required modifications.

Criteria for Curriculum Evaluation

Educational plan assessment is a significant part of guaranteeing the instructive program meets the ideal objectives and targets. Different models are considered during the assessment interaction. The arrangement of the educational plan with the program results and mission of the organization, first and foremost, is essential. This implies guaranteeing that the course happy, learning targets, and evaluations are steady with the general objectives and goals of the program. Understudy learning and fulfillment are other significant standards for assessment. This can be surveyed through different strategies, for example, course assessments, post-employment surveys, and assessment results. Assessing understudy learning and fulfillment can help in recognizing regions for development regarding showing techniques, course happy, and evaluations. Thirdly, the cash and significance of the educational plan are basic. The nursing calling continually advances, and the educational plan should mirror the most recent patterns, improvements, and best practices. In conclusion, the adequacy of the educating and educational experience is a significant element to be considered during educational program assessment. This incorporates evaluating the viability of educational techniques, assets, and appraisals in advancing understudy learning and accomplishing wanted results.

Other assessment rules that are significant too are pertinence to current and future medical services needs since it is essential to assess the educational program to guarantee that it is planning understudies to address the issues of current and future medical care conditions. This might include staying up with the latest with new innovation, medicines, and practices in the nursing field. Another basis is understudy fulfillment and input. In the interim, the educational plan ought to be assessed to decide if the program’s learning results are being met. This might include dissecting understudy execution on tests, clinical assessments, and other appraisal structures. Then again, authorization guidelines ought to likewise be thought about while assessing the educational plan to guarantee that the program satisfies the guidelines set by the certifying bodies. This can assist with guaranteeing the program stays on favorable terms with authorizing organizations.

These rules assume a critical part in guaranteeing that the educational plan presented by the program is powerful, important, and addresses the issues of both the understudies and the business. Considering the educational program in contrast to these standards can help in distinguishing regions for development and rolling out essential improvements to guarantee that the program is giving the most ideal schooling to its understudies.

Pilot Testing of Curriculum Evaluation

Pilot testing is a type of assessment wherein a little example of a new or modified educational plan is tried before full execution to decide its viability and distinguish any fundamental upgrades (Blog, 2021). It permits instructive organizations to evaluate the practicality and results of the educational program and make any vital adjustments before it is carried out to the whole understudy populace. Pilot testing gives important bits of knowledge into how understudies will answer the educational plan and assist with guaranteeing the nature of the instructive experience for all understudies.

A pilot test for educational plan assessment can be utilized to decide the viability and practicality of the recently evolved educational program before it is completely carried out. The accompanying advances can be taken to design a pilot test:

Decide the targets and objectives of the pilot test: Prior to leading the pilot test, the goals and objectives of the test ought to be obviously characterized. This will assist with figuring out what information is required and what results are generally anticipated from the test.
Select a delegate test of understudies: A delegate test of understudies ought to be chosen for the pilot test. The example ought to be sufficiently huge to give significant information yet little enough to be sensible.
Recognize proper course materials: The course materials utilized in the pilot test ought to be distinguished and chosen. These materials ought to mirror the progressions and updates made to the educational plan and ought to address the end result.
Plan the testing plan: The pilot test and the testing timetable ough

Recommendation For the process to Update Healthcare Knowledge 

NURS FPX 6017 Assessment 1 Attempt 3 Curriculum Overview Framework and Analysis KP

Although the program offers students a comprehensive knowledge basis of the nursing profession in today’s healthcare setting, the current curriculum needs the appropriate inclusion of gerontological topics. To improve nurse practitioners’ capabilities in gerontological care is critical, given the importance of chronic condition treatment, particularly for the aging workforce. According to the curriculum analysis, nursing graduates have inadequate expertise in caring for elderly individuals. As a result, it is critical to incorporate geriatric competencies into the curricula. The AACN also acknowledges the value of including geriatric topics in nursing curricula. The aim is to achieve that caregiver have sufficient expertise to give appropriate care to the aging populations (Huang & Wang, 2020). As a result, the approach starts with identifying the deficit in the nursing program and compares it to institutions that have effectively integrated gerontological material. Following the principles of quality healthcare professions such as the ACCN, the next step is to incorporate gerontological information within the curricula. Significant gerontological information can thus be introduced by incorporating a stand-alone course.

Organizing Design and Theoretical Framework or Model 

The conceptual basis that underpins the program is comprised of the faculty’s understanding of nursing. The program incorporates ideas from a wide range of developmental and nursing approaches. The program is designed to help students to go from technical reasoning to introspective practice. Retrospective practice is essential in healthcare because it provides better nursing care. Nursing staff who apply this method have a greater knowledge of their activities, which leads to increased professional abilities. Schön’s Reflective Practitioner leads the RN to the BSN curriculum. This paradigm focuses on five aspects of reflective practice: reflective discourse, flexible inquiry, categorization, cognitive frame analysis, and creative design (Ghasemi et al., 2020). When providing care to families and populations, the curriculum stresses analytical reasoning. The model is constructed on the development of ideas into practice, which is stressed in the RN to BSN curriculum since students are required to examine evidence and make critical judgments based on this knowledge (Online RN to BSN Curriculum | Maryville Online, 2022).

History of Organizing Design and Theoretical Framework

Reflective practice principles were developed by early scholars like John Dewey, Kurt Lewin, and Jean Piaget. Donald Schön later authored The Reflective Practitioner in 1983, in which he presented notions such as reflective thinking and the ability to reflect. Schön noticed while designing the framework that schools were failing to educate what professionals needed in complicated working situations. Schön was concerned about professionals’ failure to use their knowledge in practice. This resulted in the creation of The Reflective Practitioner framework, which stresses the importance of professionals learning from their experiences. As a result, nursing students must learn to evaluate treatment in practice. This is the case with ethical difficulties that arise often in professional nursing.

Concepts of Selected Organizing Design and Theoretical Framework

These ideas describe how experts deal with obstacles at work and enhance their skills through creativity. Reflection is essential in nursing practice because it allows caregivers to consider their activities and assess themselves. This encourages knowledge acquisition, which is stressed in the RN to BSN curriculum. Reflective practice is extremely important in guiding training, as well as in strengthening communication and decision-making. These ideas are relevant to the RN to BSN curriculum, which covers topics including interdisciplinary cooperation, team, and important decision. Perpetual improvement is essential in the nursing profession, which is why this framework is so important in curricula (Sassanian & Shandi, 2018).

NURS FPX 6026 Assessment 3 Attempt 1 Letter to the Editor: Population Health Policy Advocacy KP

Along with ensuring that CVID patients adhere to rigorous rules about alcohol and cigarette use, these requirements will also ensure that staff members wear gloves and masks to reduce their exposure to hazardous chemicals. In the absence of an assessment, policy creation in the healthcare setting guarantees that nurses can respond quickly and take the necessary precautions to avoid errors. Therefore, CVID therapy and preventive healthcare are crucial to serve both the patient and the institution by establishing standards to help prevent genetic disorders from arising and discover them quickly to protect the patient’s life.

One of the issues in policy is medical coverage. The Affordable Care Act’s implementation and an increase in the number of people insured by it are lawmakers’ top priorities because 92 percent of Americans have health insurance. The leaders have divergent opinions since some will not favor the use of expensive technologies for treating CVID and covering Medicare insurance expenses.

Interprofessional Aspects

Inter-collaboration and interaction are critical in healthcare organizations to keep CVID patients from spreading and proliferating. The inter-professional interactions of the established strategy will aid in the accomplishment of targeted goals since professional teamwork has been shown to increase the quality and safety of care.  According to Market et al. (2021), in order to properly treat chronic illnesses, the involvement of research and policy is critical to improving patient and nurse contentment. Additionally, this will ensure that healthcare professionals follow the law, learn new knowledge from publications, hone new abilities, and put their own development first.

There will be a conflict of interest during interprofessional treatment plans where one health care professional may disagree with another’s opinion (Manias, 2018). However, these conflicts will not only help improve the policies due to disagreements but also give an insight to all the members of the team on each other’s perspectives and professions.

Furthermore, research has indicated that physical inactivity accounts for a significant proportion of falls among older persons (Yuan et a., 2022). Regular exercise not only improves physical strength and balance, but it also has a direct neuroprotective effect, lowering the chance of falls and related injuries. Similarly, nutrition has an important role in sustaining cognitive function and lowering the risk of neurodegenerative illnesses. The Mediterranean diet, which includes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean meats, has been linked to a lower incidence of falls and cognitive impairment (Dominguez et al., 2021).

A multidisciplinary team is essential for addressing the need for geriatric fall prevention. Nurses and other healthcare professionals play an important role in educating older persons and their families about fall prevention methods, medication management, and activities of daily living. This collaborative approach provides comprehensive care and improves the safety and well-being of older persons who are at risk of falling (Severance et al., 2022). These components are the best option for addressing the stated need for geriatric fall prevention because they focus on modifiable risk factors and empower older persons to take proactive measures to lower their risk of falling. The intervention approach, which focuses on lifestyle changes and utilizes the knowledge of healthcare experts, seeks to improve health outcomes, improve quality of life, and eventually minimize the burden of falls among older persons.

Impact of Cultural Needs and Characteristics of a Target Population

The cultural needs and characteristics of both the target population and the setting are critical in developing intervention plan components, especially in guaranteeing the intervention’s effectiveness and relevance.

Cultural needs and characteristics of the target population of older individuals at risk of falls include a wide range of components (Fernandes et al., 2021). First, cultural assumptions regarding aging and health can impact older persons’ desire to participate in fall prevention programs. For example, in some cultures, there can be guilt associated with aging or seeking help for health conditions, which can limit participation in fall prevention programs. Furthermore, cultural beliefs and actions regarding nutrition, exercise, and healthcare can affect the acceptability and value of interventions (Worum et al., 2020). Understanding and addressing cultural variations is critical for customizing interventions to the requirements and preferences of the target public.

Lack of endurance in maintaining a program’s essential ideas and values is caused of insufficient coordination among stakeholders in curriculum development. Internal stakeholders (Teachers) frequently have an imperfect vision of the design work and require assistance in building a clear sense of what is required of them under the methods and the output. Second, external support may activate instructors’ pre-existing information and ideas, serving as a medium of knowledge. Third, instructors have poor conceptual knowledge of curriculum planning, which causes them to miss critical stages of the curriculum planning process, such as evaluation and understanding, resulting in low-quality curricula. Collaboration between internal and external stakeholder during curriculum development is not always without difficulties, and one must be intentionally ready to cope with potential hurdles such as variations in aims and customs, misconceptions, various emphases and goals, and a lack of communication (Button, 2021). A lack of desire, as well as a lack of knowledge or a perceived lack of competencies in the possible mate, might be barriers to collaboration. According to study, business leaders feel that academics are inexperienced with new information and, as a result, lack faith in professors (Button, 2021). Situations can also be competing, and communication between universities and employers can be problematic, for example, due to specific employers’/professions’ differing perspectives and wants.

To overcome the impediments to collaboration, universities and colleges are concentrated on the better application of research, the focused utilization of research facilities, and more effective communication (Sassanian & Shandi, 2018). Effort is required consistently in order to foster confidence. Academics may help by making themselves more available and visible, communicating their findings to the general public, and giving presentations in a language and manner that the population appreciates. Trust and confidence are also demonstrated by spending enough time with the partner and having a good approach toward collaboration. It has also been shown that prior creative experience aids in the removal of obstacles and those organizations should give equal coverage to the structural, cultural, and language components of interacting with stakeholders. 

To summarize, working with stakeholders is a mutually beneficial activity during curriculum development, although there are hazards, as with any communication. It is a significant difficulty to consider both your own and your colleague’s interests while maintaining the connection. Because the elements most impacting cooperation are connected to the internal capabilities of the organizations and the mutual trust of the partners, collaboration activities may be regarded as a long process of creating mutual understanding.

NURS FPX 6212 Assessment 3 Outcome Measures, Issues, and Opportunities

Outcome Measures, Issues, and Opportunities

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) outcome measures are morbidity rate, re-hospitalization rate, mortality rates, patient satisfaction, and quality of care. Limited access to health care services, poor patient knowledge about self-care and involvement in a treatment plan, and economic inequality among distinct socioeconomic and racial communities are all concerns related to CVD (Riegel et al., 2017).

NURS FPX 6212 Assessment 3 Outcome Measures, Issues, and Opportunities

Implementing community-based programs to encourage healthy behaviors, the availability of preventive facilities, and attempting to address the health determinants of society that fuel discrepancies in cardiovascular diseases are all possible ways to address these problems. Moreover, there have been encouraging advancements in technology and pharmacology for diagnosing and treating cardiovascular diseases. These developments include new medicines and guidelines, telehealth, remote patient management, and monitoring technology, which can positively affect patient outcomes and decrease healthcare costs (Kędzierski et al., 2022).

Organizational Functions, Processes, and Behavior in a High-Performance Organization

The American Nurses Association is the nation’s largest nursing organization and a powerful voice for nurses in the US. It is responsible for creating and disseminating standards of nursing practice that serve as principles and guidelines for nursing staff to implement in practice in the work environment and enhance better patient outcomes like decreasing hospitalization, reducing medication errors, and improving patients’ experience and satisfaction. The ANA also helps nurses further their academic achievements and careers by providing them with tools and opportunities to network. The ANA’s actions are planned to be expertly conducted by the highest standards of ethics and for the public’s benefit (American Nurses Association, 2019). 

For healthcare settings to be successful, they need to implement policy practices for patient safety and care quality, administrative efficiency, operational effectiveness, interprofessional collaboration, risk mitigation, and long-term planning (McGowan et al., 2021). Patients get good healthcare and have their healthcare demands fulfilled faster once healthcare professionals function effectively. On the other hand, inefficient healthcare settings do not have the necessary professionals, infrastructure, and tools, which affects patients’ quality of care (WHO, 2018). Implementing evidence-based approaches and bringing the concerns to top leadership recognition is necessary to resolve these healthcare problems. 

Weill Cornell Medicine had a higher incidence of CVD re-hospitalizations due to substandard and insufficient healthcare facilities. The safety and well-being of CVD patients are of utmost importance to the nurses caring for them, and they must evaluate their care according to established protocols (Ramadhani et al., 2019). Concerns over patient safety, care and quality, expected health consequences, and increasing medical costs due to diseases are among healthcare practitioners’ top concerns. EHR and telehealth technology can help doctors and nurses communicate with patients to keep track of patients’ treatment and educate patients and nurses about self-monitoring BP and behavioral therapy (Omboni et al., 2020). Nurses should also be informed about the long-term effects of hospitalization for cardiovascular disorders.

Knowledge Gaps and Areas of Uncertainty

The best approaches to giving high-quality care, patient security, and care are still not fully understood, despite the advancements accomplished in the healthcare sector. This is seen most clearly in managing long-term health problems like CVD. Extensive studies and cutting-edge technology are required to develop better therapies for CVD (Błyszczuk et al., 2020). The ability of diverse clinical experts to collaborate to provide optimal treatment for patients is another area for development. If the knowledge gap can be addressed, healthcare professionals can better treat their patients.

Various research studies have revealed that several unknown factors are also involved while implementing the new healthcare information system, which hinders data safety. A study was carried out to analyze four healthcare organizations in England to study the technical and behavioral threats that have developed with the growing use of EMR and other health record systems. The risks and concerns are also associated with IoT devices and gadgets adopted to prompt healthcare services (Graham, 2020).

Transformational leadership style must be made throughout the clinic in order for the long term goal of raising the nursing retention of the clinic. “Transformational leadership is a leadership style in which leaders encourage, inspire and motivate employees to innovate and create change that will help grow and shape the future success of the company. This is accomplished by setting an example at the executive level through a strong sense of corporate culture, employee ownership and independence in the workplace. (Sarah K. White, 2018).

Strategic Plan: Improving Nurse Retention in Hospitals

Introduction

NURS FPX 6210 Assignment 2 Attempt 2 Strategic Planning KG

When talking about healthcare and the importance of having a good foundation in a hospital the role that would fill that space would be a nurse. In a hospital setting a patient will only come in contact and speak to a nurse and that is guaranteed when being treated, and this is because the nurses are the pillar and foundations when in a hospital setting. Doctors are key roles in a hospital setting but the nurses role has more in-contact with the patient’s whom the doctor’s order the treatment for. Nurses carry out the order the doctors give, even then the treatment, vital signs, symptoms, and any other information a nurse gives are doctor are what draws the doctor to order treatments and prescriptions. 

That is why when we speak of the importance of short term to long term goals, nurse retention will always be a goal that needs to continuously be modified, seen, and met. Mercer University developed and article about the importance nurses are to the medical feild and mentioned the same example I was conveying, “After the doctor saw you, the nurse likely returned to talk through any medications the doctor prescribed and to ask if you had any additional questions before helping you check out. (Mercer ASBN,2021)”. Nurses are the pillar of hospitals providing care, advocacy, and service to patients. The same article by Mercer University stated, “American Nurses Association lists advocacy as a “pillar of nursing” and considers it one of the most significant reasons why nurses are important in healthcare (Mercer ASBN, 2021).”

NURS FPX 6210 Assignment 2 Attempt 2 Strategic Planning KG

Strategic Planning 

For creating goals in a hospital setting such as short term and long term goals for organizations like hospitals, the best way to go about it is to create a strategic plan that is based on all aspects of healthcare and the world around healthcare. Improving nursing retention in hospitals and health care facilities can greatly improve their quality of care. ABC Health Clinic is a relatively small clinic although having all departments needed for their area, such as emergency department and sub acute department. In this small clinic the staff see and take care of a lot of patients which seem to result in a high nurse to patient ratio. ABC Health also doesn’t have any benefits or a non-competitive salary which causes a lot of nurses to move to other medical facilities that can meet more of their needs. ABC Health clinic’s emergency department has the highest nursing retention rate in their clinic from a high percentage of 95%. This high retention rate within the ABC Health Clinic emergency department is a blueprint to what the entire ABC Health Clinic nurse retention rate goal should and aspires to be. The ABC’s ED nursing management leader was one of the first nurses who have worked in the ED when it first opened and is now in charge of the ED. Management thoroughly expresses the importance of communication and teamwork within the department, especially with the importance of this department for the patients. The staff in the ED have regular team meetings, practice consent communication, and nurse to patient ratios are fair. This on top of the fact that their pay in the ED department is not that far off from the other ED departments in their area. This is due to the fact that the nurses receive a raise every time they receive a certificate that is relevant to their job descriptions. These are the main reasons the nurses retention rate is so high in the ED. 

The common issue in the ABC Health Clinic and other departments is that most nurse’s reason for leaving is that they have found other facilities where the pay is higher or they have better benefits for the same job title and the same work. Finding nurses to apply to work at ABC Health is also quite difficult due to word of mouth recommendations against the clinic or for working at other facilities. 

When applying the SWOT method which intails finding the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats within the facility an analysis can be made to see where can the clinic improve on to making the nursing retention higher. Once we have used the analysis tool with the ABC Health Clinic we can devise a short and long term goal to establish a plan to raise the rate of nurse retention. 

For this facility we have conducted one long term goal and two short term goals

NURS FPX 6212 Assessment 1 Quality and Safety Gap Analysis

Quality and Safety Gap Analysis

In practically every healthcare facility, not just in the US but all throughout the world, there are systemic issues. Although some healthcare organizations encounter comparable problems, every healthcare facility deals with a unique systemic challenge (Willems, J., & Ingerfurth, S., 2018). The systemic issue in certain businesses may affect the whole building or a specific department. In terms of systemic issues, Augusta University Medical Center is not an exception. Catheter-associated urinary infections, or CAUTIs, are the present concern that is seen as a widespread issue at AUMC (Augusta University Medical Center). Over the past year, AUMC has dealt with a few CAUTI instances to the point where patients have begun moving based on the severity from one unit to the intermediate/progressive care unit as well as other healthcare facilities. 

Identification of the Systemic Problem

A urinary tube (urinary catheter) that has been implanted to drain urine from the bladder can induce infection of the urinary tract, which is referred to as a CAUTI (Ganley et al., 2022). At AUMC, CAUTIs have been a major issue. The healthcare professional and organization as a whole have also been impacted in addition to the patient. Some patients have been raising concerns about CAUTIs, which can worsen medical problems, extend hospital stays, and raise the price of medical care (Ganley et al., 2022). The problem, however, solely affects patients using improperly maintained urine catheters in the acute setting. In addition to the matters referred by the patients, the hospital has been negatively impacted by the systemic issue due to a decline in the number of patients that come to the institution, lost profits, and a high nurse retention rate (Ganley et al., 2022). As a result, several CAUTI-related topics have been covered, including the need for practice adjustments and how organizational factors impact the patient’s efficiency and reliability of the outcome.

Arranging

The data from the finding is utilized to give investigation in regards to the outcome of the course. Whether the course had the option to teach in nursing understudies the utilization of innovation to give protected and quality consideration to patients.

Execution

In the execution stage, explicit shifts are imparted in the direction to guarantee that any deficiencies are dispensed with and that the course prevails with regards to expanding the medical caretaker’s mental, full-of-feeling, and psychomotor spaces.

Assessment

Assessment of the course was finished by appropriating polls and review structures among the understudies. This assessment means to survey whether the carried out changes added advantage to the current Nursing Informatics course. Likert Scale was utilized as the assessment instrument for its dependability score of 94% (Hancock and Volante, 2020).

Impediment of Cycle Steps

The constraint of the interaction steps include:

Absence of accessibility of information because of absence of investment by understudies.
Mistakes while gathering the study structures (miss assortment of information).
Wrong execution of innovation while gathering information (genuine inquiries or shut finished questions).
Mistakes while dissecting the information because of the utilization of wrong scientific methods.
Unfortunate abilities utilized for assessment of the information including incorrectly timing for leading project assessment. This alludes to inappropriate timing for directing developmental and summative appraisals.

Model for Program Improvement

The model utilized for program improvement of Nursing Informatics incorporates Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) cycle. This is an eminent strategy for giving data in regards to the progressions which should be carried out in an arrangement, for this situation in the Nursing Informatics Course. The arrangement expects to evaluate the course’s learning results with the genuine learning results. It evaluates the techniques used to expand the information on the understudies in regards to the utilization of innovation coordinated with medical care administrations. Alongside this, the model surveys the adequacy of reenactment-based learning and the utilization of proof-based rehearses in nursing schooling to assess the learning of the understudies. The model will survey whether the understudies can successfully carry out their mental reasoning, psychomotor abilities, and emotional abilities in reproduction based on figuring out how to give protected, quality, and supported care to the patients (life sized model).

The information gathered will be exposed to examination to survey on the off chance that the understudies have learned, can suggest, and successfully use innovation coordinated with medical care administrations in patients. On the off chance that the evaluation gives holes between the learning results of the course and the genuine learning results, an arrangement will be contrived to connect these holes. The arrangement will then be executed and following three months, the assessment will be completed in the future to evaluate the connecting of holes. The information will be gathered through surveys and will be assessed by the Likert Scale to evaluate the understudy’s learning in recreation-based learning (Zann et al., 2021).

Program Assessment and Evaluation Strategies Used in Nursing Course

Assessment is a fundamental piece of both instructive nursing programs and the scholastic cycle overall. The viability of a nursing project might be measured by how well it meets foreordained benchmarks as far as results and execution checking that are educated by industry and instructive standards.

BS Nursing Informatics not entirely set in stone as the learning program for understudies which depends on four months. A sum of 18 credit hours will be expected to achieve the program and the understudies will learn the executives, specialized gear utilization in medical care, quality, and greatness of medical care administrations wellbeing of patient information, and counteraction of additional sickness (Li et al., 2019). The procedures to assess the program nursing informatics in medical care can be as per the following:

Supporting customary study hall guidance with a web-based training organization structure.
During a clinical exhibit, understudies will utilize an EHR to report their perceptions.
The medical caretakers’ capacity to team up and convey will be inspected close by their evaluation and reviewing abilities. This will ensure that the attendants have figured out how to cooperate and interface appropriately, lessening the probability of any miscommunication-related clinical incidents.

As a component of medical care review systems, evaluators have the choice of noticing medical attendants as they utilize different types of innovation to assemble information. To lay out the profundity of medical’s comprehension attendants might interpret nursing informatics, they were set through reproductions of true medical services settings in which they were tried on their utilization of ICT, coordination of various expert practices, and trust in themselves (Sipes and Solid, 2021).

Information Holes and Missing Data

There has been an emotional development in the unpredictability of the informatics capacities a medical caretaker specialist should have. As a result of this improvement, there is presently a squeezing need for a more exact meaning of fundamental abilities in the field of nursing informatics. It has been observed that there are no all around acknowledged rules for how clinical schools ought to show understudies the basics of nursing informatics. The absence of studies looking at what sort of informatics training is essential for imminent educators was likewise featured as a shortage in information. Medical attendants should not just be assessed based on their capacity to finish scholarly or reasonable assessments, as well as based on their capacity to show the “simple” and “extreme” qualities that will assist them with prevailing in their expert lives. (Belchez, 2019).

Align Appropriate Professional Standards and Regulations

In the present mechanically progressed and time-delicate medical services framework, this area of informatics aptitude is critical to keeping up with both quality and productivity in the medical services and nursing divisions. The field of nursing informatics centers around working on the manners by which attendants go about their particular business obligations by utilizing data innovation (IT). The American Nursing Informatics Affiliation (ANIA) is a gathering of enlisted medical caretakers and other medical care laborers that share a commitment to giving phenomenal consideration in a monetarily mindful way (O’Connor and LaRue, 2020).

Philosophical Approaches to Evaluation

There are numerous philosophical ways to deal with the assessment of nursing informatics courses. They are as per the following:

DIKW Hypothesis

Information, Data, Information, and Shrewdness (DIKW) is a hypothesis that is liable for gathering information in its crude structure which is then consolidated to deliver data. This data is contrasted with the accessible proof with determined information that is utilized to increment intelligence in regards to the applicable subject (Dammann, 2019). For this situation, DIKW is related with the arrangement of information, data, information, and shrewdness for nursing informatics to understudies which plans to expand the information about the utilization of innovation coordinated with medical care administrations.

NURS FPX 6111 Assessment 4 Program Effectiveness Presentation

Benner’s Model

This model groups students as fledgling, high level novices, capable, capable, and specialists. It evaluates the student’s capacity to comprehend, learn, and take care of issues in light of their mastery in nursing informatics. The model expresses that the medical caretakers who are a beginner and have nothing information about nursing informatics, advance all through the course length to work on their abilities, and reasonable information clinical information on the utilization of innovation incorporated with medical care administrations (Paul et al., 2019).

Summative and Developmental Appraisals

Developmental evaluations are used to survey the student’s capacity to utilize incorporated medical services with innovative progressions during the concentrate successfully. Summative evaluations survey the student’s capacity to use information after the course of nursing informatics has been finished. Both of these appraisals are compelling in estimating the capacity of the understudies to successfully carry out the information acquired during and all through the course (Tseng et al., 2021).

Proof to Help the Clarification

DIKW Hypothesis, Benner’s Model, and Developmental and Summative appraisals expect to gather, dissect, and determine data in regards to the utilization of data innovation coordinated with medical care administrations. This model plans to furnish the understudies with data in regards to the utilization of recreation based medical care administrations, Computerized reasoning (computer based intelligence), and different advances like robotized IV siphons, EMR, and remote checking administrations to the understudies. These models mean to evaluate the learning of the students during and after the finish of the nursing informatics course (Tseng et al., 2021).

Program Evaluation Process

The nursing Informatics course assessment process is as per the following:

Appraisal

In this stage, data is gathered from the understudies through polls and overview structures. This data is gathered from the understudies while keeping their personalities mysterious. The gathered information guarantees that the data is gathered through a legitimate channel and the inquiries are shut finished to give explicit solutions to questions.

Determination

The information which is gathered is then assembled to determine explicit data in regard to the course – Nursing Informatics. The information gives data in regards to the significance of nursing schooling and the capacity of the course to foster mechanical abilities in regard to the arrangement of successful medical care administrations.

Align Learning Objectives to Program Outcomes

Understudies should have the option to verbalize the significance of laying out clinical practice on the consequences of innovation and modern investigations connected with nursing informatics.
Consolidate multidisciplinary collaboration and mechanical enhancements into your work process.
Decide the best game plan for patient counteraction by dissecting information on numerous ailments.
Displays basic examination of clinical and measurable exploration papers, picking results that are both appropriate and solid.

Program Portrayal

The field of nursing informatics envelops the plan, execution, and evaluation of innovatively upgraded information networks determined to improve and regulate the nature of patient consideration. Understudies might find out about and experience methods and procedures connected with nursing informatics in a true setting. The concentration in Nursing Informatics puts an accentuation on developing into a nursing chief. Graduates in this field have a wide assortment of choices for business. Medical caretakers who have practical experience in informatics work in different fields, including the public area, the confidential area, and enterprises, giving direct tolerant consideration, educating, research, and managerial and consultative administrations (Khezri and Abdekhoda, 2019).

Medical attendants who have taken an informatics course have a superior comprehension of how to team up with other clinical experts in a way that is not so much muddled but rather more compelling. The medical services industry is exceptionally specific, and most patients see many specialists with particular preparation inside a solitary visit to the separate clinical focus (Riley and Carmack, 2020). Some huge program results are enrolled beneath:

Upgraded collaboration among attendants and other clinical experts

Medical services experts would profit from fast admittance to information on understanding circumstances.

Program Assessment and Evaluation Strategies Used in Nursing Course

Patients from heterogeneous cultures and languages encounter various obstacles, like communicational challenges, regulatory constraints, or disparities in medical views, and thus use medical services relatively less frequently than the hosting communities. The provision of adequate healthcare, ensuring the safety of patients, and reaching significant satisfaction between clinical staff and patients are all hampered by language problems. Several more extensive medical facilities offer translators to solve these issues and boost interaction, patient engagement, and access to health care. Unfortunately, these offerings increase the price and length of the therapy.

Evaluate the Legal Issues of Current Practices & Potential Changes 

The legitimate issues while rehearsing well-being data frameworks for care conveyance are the accompanying:

Proficient responsibility

The utilization of legitimate rules while executing a telehealth framework in an association. For instance, the Middle for Infectious Prevention and Counteraction (CDC) gives valuable proposals for utilizing telehealth during the Coronavirus pandemic. On the off chance that the rules and proposals are not as expected observed, erroneous information stockpiling of patients happens. These issues will cause negligence and liabilities (Austin et al., 2019).

HIPPA Strategy

Health care coverage Conveyability and Responsibility Act (HIPPA) safeguards the patient’s connected medical services data from disclosure. For example, the current telehealth practice ought to work in keeping the approach of HIPPA. HIPPA strategy was changed after the Coronavirus as it was adjusted during the Coronavirus. Medical services suppliers ought to stringently follow HIPPA (Edemekong et al., 2019).

Data Innovation (IT) Security

The records put away can be hacked because of cybercrime because of unfortunate frameworks and inferior quality. The Medical Services Association utilizes direction from the American Clinical Affiliation (AMA) to forestall security dangers to the framework. Erasing information and data hurts the patient, recommending some unacceptable measurements. Accordingly, clinical mistakes will happen (Muthuppalaniappan and Stevenson, 2019).

Possible changes

Telehealth permits the medical services association to give remote consideration, visits, charging, remedies, and exams. Its job has become noticeable after the Coronavirus. Notwithstanding, there are many issues legitimate as well as moral were seen. They expect changes to be finished in the framework to redress the issues. The progressions are the accompanying:

• Preparing medical caretakers and staff for compelling information dealing with telehealth use (Ahmad et al., 2021)
• Utilize a cooperative way to deal with impart in persistent’s best worries (Nittari et al., 2022)
• Adhere to drive security techniques and rules for successful use by the American Clinical Affiliation and the U.S. Division of Wellbeing and Human Administrations Office for Social Liberties (Telehealth HHS.gov, 2022)
• Adhere to insurance agency directions for powerful practice and save from proficient obligation (Austin et al., 2019)
• Privacy of patient information by HIPPA consistency (Edemekong et al., 2019)
• Take administrative thought utilizing the Set of rules (equity, value, independence, and nonmaleficence) (Silva et al., 2019).

Care coordination is a critical tool for healthcare providers to use while assisting overweight hypertensive individuals in managing their hypertension symptoms. Patients will find it easier to communicate with their physicians, nutritionists, pharmacists, and nurses owing to a streamlined care coordination procedure (Karam et al., 2021). Care coordination is a team-based strategy with the goal of including patients in their own care with other members of the healthcare team (Karam et al., 2021).

Professional Standards Influence on Patient Care and Care Coordination Outcomes 

The patient care coordination can be boosted by scrutinizing requirements and demands of patient. One of the credible organizations designed in 2017, named the National Quality Forum, provides standards for safety and care coordination outcomes (Namburi & Lee, 2022). This credible organization aims to enhance patient safety and quality of care (Namburi & Lee, 2022). The Care Coordination and Transition Management Logic Model provides effective benchmark standards to measure the effectiveness of care coordination towards patients (Hofmann & Erben. J, 2020). The justification behind this model is that this model provides holistic relation between nurses’ competencies, care coordination, and patient quality outcomes. This model also encourages healthcare professionals to focus on patient-centered care. With the help of this model, the healthcare professional’s performance can be measured as it provides various standards like the organization’s need to focus on patients’ desires, error-free treatment, evidence-based practice, and ongoing care coordination plan updates (Hofmann & Erben. J, 2020).

Change in workflow with the Use of Evidence-Based Practice

EHR offers all the details and information that add to health results. Electronic records offer more effective patient information as compared to traditional documenting methods. By tracking all the changes over time, healthcare providers can obtain accurate analysis by viewing things like cholesterol levels, and weight. The eTAR data will aid primary care professionals in creating a better strategy for managing, preventing, and screening chronic diseases. eTAR data can be used for research (Zheng et al., 2020). 

The eTAR makes it easier for clinicians to see more patients by giving them better access to thorough patient histories that include clinical data, possibly saving doctors’ time spent on looking up results and reports. The perceived advantages include laboratory result availability, medication error alerts, remote access to patient charts, and reminders for preventive care. EHRs provide the resources that are needed to identify patient risks that will result in better quality care. Additionally, it enables medical professionals to concentrate on patients, which enhances the standard of care. eTAR system has greatly helped in changing the workflow of the organization (ARAS, 2021). Some examples are as follows:

• Electronic Medication and Treatment Administration and a user-friendly tool
• Quickly and immediately record the administration of medications and treatments.
• Clinicians will complete all the documentation on a single screen.
• At the point of care, adjustments to medications and treatments are reflected in real-time
• At the point of care, nurses can alter medications and treatments (discontinue, change the dosage, add, etc.).
• There are real-time drug interactions and alerts available at the point of care.
• Medication errors are decreased by missed and overdue medication alerts.

Enhanced Information System Workflow Promote Safe Practice

The effective use of eTAR has several benefits regarding workflow, safe practice, and quality outcomes. The workflow enhanced by e-TAR technology will allow clinicians to manage patient prescriptions easily. This will also help in the clinical decision-making process of the organization which will increase the standard of care. The technology will help nurse informaticists to reduce errors in data entry. It aids healthcare providers to reduce medication errors. This enhanced workflow will help patie

Today, it is more crucial now unlike before that healthcare organizations address the escalating difficulties in delivering safe and efficient care to the community. The necessity to expand on our existing telecommunication platform and make the most of telehealth has been forced by the ongoing pandemic (Haque et al., 2021). The utilization of telehealth services can significantly improve healthcare’s provision of quality care. Our company has determined that integrating telemedicine interactions into our network and workflow will enable us to achieve this. We have collaborated with our training department to create a virtual care system that will cater to the community’s immediate concerns (Haque et al., 2021).

NURS FPX 6214 Assessment 3 Implementation Plan

Hi everyone, my name is Luiz Dias, and today I will be advocating for lasting change to our stakeholders to improve healthcare access through telehealth technology in the Jordan community.

Identification of Stakeholders

A safety and quality-oriented culture can be improved in a number of ways by the suggested measures. By learning new techniques for inserting urinary catheters, the healthcare professionals who work in the inpatient unit will be capable of improving the health and wellbeing of their patients (Van Buijtene, 2019). By altering the care provider’s viewpoint of managing urinary catheters, these competencies will enhance their thoughts and actions in the coordination of healthcare. The recommended practices gradually become part of the setting’s culture as more healthcare professionals, particularly nurses, use them. As a result, the patient’s health circumstances in the inpatient unit will change, decreasing their risk of contracting CAUTIs (Van Buijtene, 2019).

Safety Requirements and Regulatory Considerations

The use of healthcare information technology has facilitated patients and healthcare organizations in promoting viable health services and remote access to patient data. However, it has also been prone to various risks and requires safety. Since a report regarding patient safety, “To Err Is Human in 1999,” has been published, the concern regarding patient safety and data security has grown among health professionals and patients (Sharma et al., 2018). Using an integrated patient portal in providing telemedicine and online healthcare services can be challenging when safety requirements for patient data

1. A1c tests for checking glucose levels,
2. Dilated eyes exam, and
3. Foot examination for possible sores or nerve damage (AHRQ, 2022)

On comparing these national benchmarks, it can be observed that MMC is unable to achieve the national benchmarks of foot exams
and A1c testing. Following these national benchmarks can help in diagnosing diabetes in the early stages helping in managing the
disease along with minimizing the prevalence of T2D. As diabetes is one of the most prevalent diseases that has affected people
globally. It is considered a growing epidemic as 1 in every 10 people is considered diabetic while 1 in every 5 people are unaware of
their diabetic condition. Around 1.4 million new diabetic cases were detected in 2019. All ethnic and racial minority populations,
particularly Black teens, had a surge of new instances of diabetes millets in people between the ages of 10 to 19 (CDC, 2022). This
causes an alarming situation and conducting these tests will help in diagnosing diabetes at early stages resulting in better health
management and better self-care before the conditions lead to complexities and in severe cases to amputations or a condition that
can be fatal (Graz et al., 2018).

Challenges Meeting Prescribed Benchmarks

Benchmarking is a phrase that relates to a standard or practice that can be followed to evaluate and compare. It serves as a
benchmark against which an assessment could be conducted. Benchmarking is used in healthcare to enhance effectiveness, the
standard of healthcare, clinical outcomes, and patient satisfaction. Examining guidelines, practices, and evidence-based processes, as
well as finding key areas for improvement, is a component of the method. Individual goals may be set for employees to help them
achieve a departmental or corporate goal. Whenever new procedures are established, the administration must choose how to monitor
performance in order to evaluate whether the benchmark criteria are being met (Rana et al., 2018).

On comparing these national benchmarks, it can be observed that MMC is unable to achieve the national benchmarks of foot exams
and A1c testing. The majority of the nurses at MMC are white nurses. According to CDC, a high ratio of diabetes is found to be among
black, Hispanic, and Latinos. And according to the dashboard, American Indians and African Americans are the second and third

highest rates of ethnicities who visit MMC. This difference in the socioeconomic factor can be seen as a challenge. It can be seen as a
challenge because the highest ratio of the white population is reported in Shakopee. Whereas other races including black, African, and
Hispanic make up 43% of the population of the area. If there is no diversity in the nursing staff, there may be cultural, language, and
ethnic barriers (AHRQ, 2022). For effective communication and overcoming language barriers, nurses from different races and
ethnicities should be on board. Irrespective of the healthcare setting or specialization, communication is found to be the most crucial
feature of care delivery and a crucial part of a nurse’s professional conduct (Ali & Watson, 2018). The largest challenges to providing
appropriate, ethical, effective, and timely treatment to individuals with inadequate speaking proficiency have been recognized as
linguistic impediments. The hiring of trained nurses in this scenario is regarded as useful.

Another strategy healthcare facilities can implement is the use of technologies that can do the translations of different languages.
This way, the nursing staff will be able to communicate to the patient regarding their condition and the patient can effectively
communicate in detail regarding their symptoms or the problems they are facing.

Conflicting Evidence

Culturally and linguistically diverse patients have less access to healthcare services and face various obstacles. African Americans, Hispanics, and Latinos are among the racial and ethnic groups most at risk for diabetes (Hendricks et al., 2021). A patient’s quality of care is enhanced, and biases are eliminated by implementing a culturally competent intervention plan. According to Handtke et al. (2019

NURS FPX 5003 Assessment 3 Intervention and Health Promotion Plan for Diverse Populations

Major Components of an Intervention and Health Promotion Plan 

Innovation is necessary to develop the evidence-based care needed to establish and refine the technical components of successful program implementation and for all aspects of the development of public health strategies and programs. Therefore, I will embrace innovation because it will enhance program management to maintain diabetes interventions with high impact. I will include members from diverse populations on the team because doing so may lead to novel concepts and creative ideas that could be used in the intervention process (O’Cathain et al., 2019). A combination of interventions like patient self-management and staff awareness sessions will assist in achieving the desired outcomes of enhanced patient care for diabetic individuals. Positive outcomes will be achieved due to our team’s increased effectiveness in preventing the disease among a diverse population in an atmosphere of harmony. (O’Cathain et al., 2019).

Most people generally care about maintaining their lives’ quality, despite clinicians typically focusing on diagnosing and treating disease. My team will acknowledge that the patient’s cultural background influences our healthcare team’s perspectives. In addition, teaching our healthcare team to respect patients and one another and how to reduce healthcare disparities will aid in this endeavor. Because the patients are from a diverse population, the healthcare team must be taught to keep this in mind (Mannell & Davis, 2019). 

Essential components include the development of beneficial policies, the presentation of solutions, and the proper planning of an intervention plan for a diverse population. By establishing a straightforward path to the plan’s success and ensuring process consistency, the healthcare team will gain knowledge of these components and contribute to improvement. By providing high-quality healthcare, this plan will benefit neglected communities and minority groups. (Anderson, 2021).

Criteria to Evaluate the Success of the Plan

An evaluation is a crucial component in determining the impact of interventions and assisting in forming future improvement decisions. The ability of healthcare teams to learn and improve services because of evaluating the impact of health interventions can help inform policy in the future. The impact of interventions to improve care could be evaluated using various administrative and clinically generated healthcare data routinely collected. The positive outcomes of the intervention plan, such as the number of patients who receive successful treatment, equal access to healthcare for all patients, data transparency, and care effectiveness determine the plan’s success (Clarke et al., 2019).

Cultural, ethnic, and traditional competence provide a path and framework for improving all patients’ health. CLAS, or culturally and linguistically appropriate services, are tailored to each patient’s preferences and requirements (Golden et al., 2021). Additionally, they aid in reducing health disparities and improving health outcomes across diverse populations. Socioeconomic policies, a lack of awareness, and health access issues that white people are less likely to encounter as compared to Hispanic or black people are the root causes of the disparities.

Major Components of Intervention and Health Promotion Plan for a Diverse Group

Diabetes-related complications are more common in people of colour and ethnic minorities. Numerous epidemiologic studies have been conducted better to define these racial/ethnic disparities in diabetes patients and to offer interventions to reduce them as it is recommended to use combination strategies (Northwestern Medicine, 2022). To address the current and anticipated rise in new diabetes cases among the population, the intervention plan should concentrate on components such as primary prevention from the disease.

 In West Virginia, diabetes is a leading cause of death, primarily affecting members of racial and ethnic minority groups. Diabetes is diagnosed 60% more frequently in Black adults in the United States than in white adults. Sadly, Black and Brown communities face significant barriers to care access and the inability to afford high-quality medical care and prescription medications. Because of this, conditions like diabetes are not properly managed, which leads to worse outcomes. By adapting interventions like regular exercise and check-ups, diabetes can be prevented or delayed in Black people (Northwestern Medicine, 2022).

Strengths of Organization in Addressing National CLAs 

West Virginia College clinic embracing and carrying out the Public CLAS Guidelines have found a way substantial ways to address wellbeing differences and address the issues of weak populaces (African American community). An authoritative responsibility is important to effectively execute the Public CLAS Norms. The Public CLAS Norms have without a doubt added to bringing issues to light of the necessity for administrations that are socially and semantically fitting (U.S. Branch of Wellbeing and Human Administrations, 2022). By giving a model to medical services associations, the Public CLAS Principles plan to progress clinical counteraction and help in disposing of medical services differences.

The contrast between the suggested prescribed procedures for medical services and the consideration given to patients is known as a hole in medical care. On the off chance that the staff doesn’t stick to any of the basic marks of the CLAS norms, for example, by not treating all patients similarly, not answering patients’ social wellbeing convictions, or having language boundaries, a hole might foster in fulfilling the guidelines. Clinical blunders and an absence of straightforwardness can likewise cause holes. The two patients and payers, like self-guaranteed managers, experience the ill effects of value issues when care holes exist (Howl et al., 2019). Through the idea of social proficiency, a reasonable comprehension of the associations between identity, culture, and education can reveal insight into the more profound implications of how different populaces in West Virginia come to be aware, grasp, and go with informed choices in view of substantial wellbeing information.

Challenges of Organization in Addressing National CLAS Standards

Challenges in carrying out the Public CLAS Guidelines are a requirement for additional assets and directions on the most proficient method to decipher and apply the norms. Unfavorable patient results and the monetary weight of mistakes and failures that CLAS can diminish make it more costly not to carry out the Principles. A concentrate by Isoherranen et al. (2019) talks about that the irregularity of responsibility measures and issues with correspondence inside medical services associations are impediments to effectively executing the Public CLAS Norms. There might be critical correspondence troubles with local patients on the off chance that nursing staff are new to the nearby language.

The association might confront troubles and difficulties assuming there are absence of assets, and it can’t decide the principles accurately. The association brings about extra expenses when it looks to select talented specialists, gather information on different racial gatherings in the populace, and train its ongoing staff (Think Social Wellbeing, n.d). Tending to Public CLAS Principles may likewise be upset by the absence of fundamental medical care choices in provincial regions.

Organization’s Strategies, Strengths, and Weaknesses

In medical services settings, prompt and direct correspondence is fundamental. A clear and exact trade of data is crucial for the prosperity and strength of patients. The West Virginia College Emergency clinic’s assets incorporate giving workers a voice and making the fundamental acclimations to fulfill the CLAS guidelines. This step helps and lifts powerful correspondence between staff individuals and patients. The staff is continuously able to pay attention to the patients to further develop correspondence by fostering an inward interchanges methodology. Rangachari and L. Woods (2020) express that in-person gatherings can likewise be held in light of the fact that they are fundamental. They are fundamental for patients and medical care experts to successfully impart. Notwithstanding orientation, race, nationality, or religion, the association’s staff pays attention to patients and comprehends the meaning of integrating their needs into treatment choices. This recognizes oneself and the association. The staff comprehends how patients from different societies view medical services to address the issues of an assorted populace as virginia West’s. Accordingly, the staff can tailor the patient’s inquiries, and treatment intends to address the issues of the patients. Advancing variety in medical care can work on suppliers’ social ability and empower them to offer types of assistance that take care of their patients’ unmistakable social, social, and phonetic necessities as per socially and etymologically fitting administrations (CLAS) norms (Spitzer-Shohat and Jawline, 2019).

Enhanced Understanding: The ability to understand varying cultural practices and beliefs allows for effective relationship building.
Higher Retention: Workplaces deemed to be sensitive to the needs of a diverse society are likely to be attractive to prospective employees.
Increased Engagement: Removing barriers to trust and understanding increases the likelihood of companionship.

Interprofessional Group Collaboration

As the delivery of Medical service advances to become more intersected, coordinating care among healthcare multidisciplinary teams such as nurses, pharmacists, physicians, social workers, and other disciplines has a chance to increasingly implement important values. The interprofessional association is the practice of a team approach to patient care from a broader perspective.

Analysis of Technology in Nursing Practice

This report discusses various aspects of patient care technology, including its applications, benefits, and pain points. Numerous technologies focus on patient care; however, the one that is the subject of this study is electronic health records (EHR), along with its impacts on patient care and nursing practice, uses, advantages, drawbacks, and ethical and regulatory implications.

Nurses spend most of their time analyzing and evaluating the quality of patient treatment. Nurses work in a temporal environment because the patient’s circumstance constantly evolves. Nurses must keep up with the progress in medicines, treatment, and new literature. The method deployed to assess and evaluate recent advances as practices and literature to establish state-of-the-art inpatient care is determined by Evidence-Based Practice (EBP). 

Abstract

MHA FPX 5010 Assessment 1 Current Environmental Analysis

An organization’s internal and external elements are evaluated as part of an environmental study. Each component may significantly impact the organization’s performance and result. Internal factors like Shareholders, the Board of Directors, and Employees are considered in this analysis. Politics, economics, and technology are evaluated as external variables. Based on these variables, a company’s strategic orientation is established. The objective of Health Net Group is to accomplish the Organization’s Goals of health care: better health outcomes, lower costs, and more member involvement. Every company must do an environmental study to plan for its future (Kumar, 2018). Identifying the present obstacles and possibilities enables the company to maintain its relevance and success. The health care business is in a constant state of change and must be able to respond swiftly and control it effectively (Miles et al., 1978). Health Net Group’s directional approach comprises its often-examined vision, mission, and core values.

Internal Variables that influence Organizational decision making

Several internal elements might influence organizational decision-making. Stockholders, the board of directors, and workers are a few examples (Kalodimos & Leavitt, 2020). Identifying the organization’s shareholders is essential. It is essential to ascertain their needs and expectations and their degree of influence. Historically, stockholders were prohibited from communicating with one another. The Securities and Exchange Commission loosened the regulations governing shareholder collaboration. Shareholders networked in order to amplify their calls for the modification of undesirable organizational practices. Participation o

The seminars will aim to prevent young pupils from becoming addicted to cigarettes in the near future. As a result, the health promotion strategy will be expanded to assist more young people, ensuring that tobacco use cessation is taught in a variety of settings and reducing tobacco use considerably. We requested that the institution allow these kids to take part in local and school-sponsored anti-smoking initiatives.

SLIDE 5. WHY QUIT?

In the U. S., tobacco smoking is the leading avoidable cause of death (Healthy People 2020, 2020). People starting smoking in youth are more likely to develop a nicotine addiction as adults. (Healthy People 2020, 2020; Healthy People 2020, 2020; Healthy People 2020, 2020; Healthy People 2020 Quitting smoking lowers the risk of long-term sickness and illness significantly (Healthy People 2020, 2020). The average annual cost of smoke is $2,292, with a ten-year cost of $22,920. You’ll also be safeguarding the health of your non-smoking friends and family by quitting smoking. Lung cancer, cardiovascular disease, and stroke are all increased by inhaling secondhand smoking. It raises the risk of lung diseases in patients, such as bronchitis, sore throats, coughing, and asthma. After stopping, you’ll feel better; you won’t cough as much, won’t get as many mouth ulcers or clogged noses, and you’ll have more energy and exercise tolerance.

SLIDE 6. Healthy People 2020/2030

Healthy People 2020/2030 lays forth goals for reducing disease and mortality caused by tobacco use. The government’s Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion maintains this site, which attempts to educate the public in order to promote a healthier nation. It promotes cross-community collaboration, aims to empower individuals to make informed health decisions, and assesses the impact of intervention efforts. This site provides evidence-based treatments and guidelines for reducing tobacco product consumption, with our objectives matched with those of healthy people.

The task was for the committee to create five Healthy People 2020/2030 goals that would be used in the promotion. “Reducing the number of persons exposed to secondhand smoke,” “Stopping young individuals,” “helping to promote a healthy lifestyle,” “awareness,” and “reduce the usage of tobacco products overall” were the group’s top priorities on campus (Lansky, 2020). The goals were again realistic, quantifiable, and had a 60-day time limit with a 30-day progress review. Let’s take a look at our performance over the previous 30 days.

SLIDE 7. Raising Awareness

We made the educational posters and brochures to raise awareness about these health issues and received authorization to distribute the materials. You appear to have scored on every point on the goal. People are seeing the materials, according to the first three weekly polls, but there is no indication that anyone has modified their cigarette habits as a result of the materials. We may change the contents by adding alternative visuals or highlighting the benefits of not using tobacco products, such as how quitting smoking reduces illness or symptom severity. “Smoking cessation lowers your chances of acquiring COPD,” for example.

SLIDE 8. Secondhand Smoke

Even if they never smoke, those who are exposed to secondhand smoke have a substantial chance of getting a tobacco-related disease. Nicotine heart disease kills 34,000 people prematurely each year due to secondhand smoking. Furthermore, secondhand smoking causes 7,300 lung cancer fatalities and 8,000 stroke deaths per year (Healthy People 2020/ 2030, 2021). Your first Healthy People objective was to cut down on secondhand smoking exposure. This is a significant goal since it encompasses more than what one individual decides to do about their body. Second-hand smoke has the same negative consequences as smoking. This may also draw attention to the fact that smoking interferes with other people’s decisions. You’ve made a significant improvement in this area. You made it happen by going to the commons board. Except for certain specified places, the campus is smoke-free as of two days ago. This will decrease secondhand smoke exposure and the health problems that come with it. We did an excellent job!

NURS FPX 4060 Assessment 1 Health Promotion Plan

Introduction

NURS FPX 4060 Health Promotion Plan

Despite recent declines in prevalence, tobacco smoking remains at the top of leading avoidable causes of illness and early death across the world. Tobacco usage has various severe health consequences, both physically and emotionally. The main objective of the health promotion plan is to keep people fit and healthy by giving them the skills they need (education & resources). Programs are meant to assist communities in choosing healthy behaviors in order to minimize the risk of chronic illness. Health promotion, according to the World Health Organization, is “the procedure of planning and exercising conscious control, and improve, everyone’s health” (2019). The significance of constructing consented health goals in the collaboration with adolescents will be discussed in this paper, and also the health concerns of tobacco usages will be discussed.

Tobacco Use

Tobacco use differs by geographical and sociodemographic variables, but it is nevertheless common among young adults in the United States. The total prevalence rate of tobacco usage is 25.2 percent (1 in 4 individuals), with men having a greater prevalence and frequency than women. In the United States, cigarette smoking is projected to cause 443,000 fatalities each year, with roughly 49,400 deaths attributable to passive smoke exposure (King, 2012). Tobacco usage is one of the areas where Healthy People 2020 aims to make progress. “Reduce disease, disability, and mortality due to tobacco use and secondhand smoke susceptibility,” according to the Office of Disease Prevention & Health Promotion. Tobacco use is included as a subject of concern in Healthy People 2020 since it is the leading avoidable cause of disease and death (Healthy People 2020, 2020). More than 16 million People in the US, on average, suffer from at least one illness as a consequence of smoking (Healthy People 2020, 2020). In the United States, it is projected that 480,000 people die each year as a result of tobacco use. (Healthy People 2020, 2020).  Tobacco use is the greatest cause of avoidable illness, disability, morbidity and mortality, according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). An estimated 34 million people smoke every day, around 1600 adolescents who have had their first cigarette before the age of 18 smoke every day, and about 200 adolescents smoke every day (2019).

NURS FPX 4060 Health Promotion Plan

To create awareness about smoking cessation as well as prevention, we first must realize why they choose to smoke. The chemical dependency developed from added substance nicotine causes the urge to smoke. According to Folan et al., nicotine addiction develops fast, even after only a few cigarettes. Nicotine reaches the brain in milliseconds, and chemicals produced improve a person’s mood while also improving concentration and awareness (2017, p. 7). People find it difficult to quit smoking because of the sensations and behaviors that nicotine causes. Electronic cigarettes have grown in popularity among teenagers after 2014, making it the most often used tobacco alternative (CDC, 2020). The goods are particularly appealing to teens because of flavorings in the e-cigarettes. As a consequence, the teenager develops a chemical reliance on nicotine, which increases the likelihood of the adolescent continuing to use tobacco products throughout adulthood. Tobacco use in teens and young adults can induce severe organ damage, chronic obstructive lung disease, cardio – vascular damage, development growth problems, and even oral, and lung cancer.

Health Promotion in Adolescent Population

Adolescent health inequalities are caused by a number of factors, including their surroundings, and the socioeconomic class. Youths are usually more likely to use tobacco if their parents do, and they are much more likely if they see their friends doing so. Adolescents who have a lower socioeconomic position, such as a lower income and education, are more prone to start smoking (CDC, 2020). Young people are more likely to start smoking before they turn 18 due to increasing tobacco company advertising & increased availability to tobacco products (Healthy People 2020, 2020). For the adolescent population, smoking is the major health problem. This group is prone to experimenting with cigarettes. According to the CDC, Twelve out of every hundred middle school children and 31 out of Hundred high school students use the tobacco products currently (2019). Social pressure, poor self-esteem, lack of parental engagement, poor income position, and the ava

The implementation of the technology-based measure made it easy to identify and monitor the health care guidelines. The self-management education program provisions can also be assessed by telecommunication. Screening and diagnosis tools of technology made it easy and cost-effective for diabetics. As elaborated by the patient-centered survey the overcoming the barriers of diabetes care will surely manage to provide better care with high-quality life (Engström et al., 2016)

it is important to identify aspects of change management that directly affect quality care and patient experience as it defines and controls how strategies are implemented and their outcomes. 

The first aspect that affects the change management and quality of care is the EBP model that will be used to implement the change and evaluate the outcome of the strategies. Using models such as Iowa EBP, ACE (Academic Center for Evidence-Based Practice), Johns Hopkins Nursing Evidence-Based Practice Model, and Lewin’s model of change aid in implementing the strategies, evaluating the outcome, and changing or updating the strategy. 

The employees, supporters, and providers of the American Red Cross have a varied culture. They recognize the advantages of variety, like the ability to collaborate with locally and globally organizations to provide services suited to the populations they serve. The Supplier Diversity Program (SDP) seeks women, minority, veterans (abled and handicapped), and the business suppliers to reflect the communities serviced in order to enhance the company and community (Corporate Diversity, 2018).

Locating and determining the quality of credible resources by a baccalaureate-prepared nurse is vital for improving clinical reasoning and judgement skills. The patients of anxiety and depression are increasing rapidly in the United States. According to Anxiety and Depression Association of the US (AADA), such mental disorders are affecting more than 40 million adults(Melnyk, 2018). Selecting evidence-based practices for the treatment and diagnosis of depression in older adults is challenging for baccalaureate-prepared nurses in hospital settings. There are several factors nurses have to consider to determine the credibility of an evidence-based research. Unfortunately, not every information resource nurses access online is credible. The purpose of this report is to enable healthcare researchers and nurses to better equip themselves with the awareness and evaluation skills of an evidence-based research to improve patient care and safety. 

NURS FPX 4030 Assessment 4 Remote Collaboration and Evidence Based Care

The system also reduces increased burden on health care professionals as they can collaborate from their home or places. Kaplan in his study highlighted that telehealth and health information system reduced complexities as it helped in identifying different problems and solutions to problem through technology and remote collaboration (Kaplan, 2020).   

Among the most useful and the most effective communication strategies that can be implemented at any sort of workplace, mentoring/shadowing is one outstanding approach. When a mentor takes a newer employee under his wing, the latter perceives the various situations and dynamics of the workplace with clarity as the stress and discomfort of feeling alienated are extinguished. Similar is the case with nurses a

EBP stands for Evidence-Based Practice, and it is defined as the utilization of the best available evidence in order to perform better problem-solving and decision-making while imparting medical care and treatment. EBP improves the way scientific research evidence is obtained and transformed into the best possible decision for providing health care (Steglitz et al., 2015). Diabetes is one of the most common diseases found today, and owing to its variety of types, it can become hard for nurses and new healthcare personnel to efficiently identify it. If left unchecked and untreated, diabetes can pose extreme danger to the well-being of the patient

The term “telehealth” has been around for decades that have gained significant popularity in the context of patient care in the changing times. Telehealth has been defined by experts differently; there is no universal definition of telehealth. It normally refers to the use of digital technologies and tools to facilitate healthcare outcomes. According to Oliveira (2017), the evidence-based research shows that telehealth is a vital technological weapon for better diagnosis, evaluation, and treatment of patients in a hospital setting or a nursing home from a remote location. Many researchers have shown recently that telehealth helps nurses and doctors to improve patient care outcomes using viable technologies. For instance, telehealth

Globally diabetic care management requires patient and family-provided self-management. Diabetes self-management education enabling the patient about medication adherence, blood glucose monitoring, crucial changes in dietary and exercise patterns (Pamungkas et al., 2017).  Education about the outcomes of the physical health, psychological and behavioral wellbeing of the patient and his family (Pamungkas et al., 2017). The education of family members is also important regarding dietary and medication measures, controlling, cholesterol and glucose concentrations. Insulin administration education reduces the load of hyperglycemia. (Zaharieva, D.P. and Riddell, 2017).

The mortality rate due to different medication errors in the United State is between 7,000 and 9,000. Medication errors leading to adverse effects can easily cross hundreds of thousands of patients. Medication errors increase health care costs by $40 billion for every 7 million patients every year (Tariq et al., 2020). As a result, it is critical to address the issue to increase patient satisfaction, quality care, nurse competencies, coordination between health care and pharmacies, and establish a high-performing h

HRM 635 Reflect on the status of human resource management in your current position or organization

Human resource management can be described as the process or practice involving the management of an organizations workforce (SHRM, 2023). Some tasks that may be involved in order to effectively manage people in order to reach certain organizational goals include, training, performance management, recruitment, and employee relations (Dessler, 2019).

The status of HRM in my current organization I would say is very adaptive. Which has been proven to produce a positive organizational environment. In my line of work which is college athletics, the transfer portal has made the skill of being able to be adaptive in high demand. HRM naturally is an adaptive process as it is constantly evolving and workplace dynamics shift to the needs of employees.

Some elements of HRM that provide an environment that focuses on the employees within the organization to name a few are, recruitment, retention, training, and development. Recruitment is very important and is employee centered as it involves the process of searching for and hiring the best fit employees for the organization (Dessler, 2019). Retention, especially in the collegiate athletics industry is a process that is vital to the success of an organization. In today’s world athletes who find themselves in an even slightly bad or inconvenient situation are given the option to transfer to a different institution to play their sport. That makes employee satisfaction also important and goes hand in hand with retention.

Organization design and strategic planning or elements of HRM that affect the organization as whole. Strategic planning includes making adequate choices of HRM practices that also align with the overarching goals of the organization (SHRM, 2023).

The HR department of my organization is very helpful and supportive of us athletes. Those who work in HR are friendly, supportive, and constantly reminding us that they are here to support and help us be successful in a the most productive and right way which I appreciate.

Employee performance plays a crucial role in achieving an organization’s strategic goals. When employees perform well, they contribute to the overall success of the organization. On the other hand, poor employee performance can negatively impact an organization’s performance and hinder its ability to achieve its strategic goals. By aligning employee performance with the organization’s strategic goals,

When looking for jobs, the number one thing that potential employees look straight for is the job description. Before you apply for a job, you want to know exactly what you are applying for and what you are going to be doing, as well as get an idea of what you are applying for and how you can fit in to this organization just based on the job description, without knowing anything else about the position. Why is this important, because you can compare what exactly you hired someone to do and compare that to the work that they are completing right now. This is a tool that gets done to the minimum tasks that are asked upon from the job description. This not only helps the employee but also management as well. “A good appraisal system also aids management, giving practice leaders the information needed for management decisions such as staff development, job structuring and promotions, workload distribution, and compensation” (Gesme & Wiseman, 2011). What is the most difficult part can be leadership buy in, if the employees do not support the leaders in place, it can be difficult to manage all employees and performance.

This information is important as it can determine the treatment plan.

Personally, from my own bedside experience, I do not feel that patients typically have a good understanding of how to judge the healthcare services they are being provided with. Primarily because of the recent focus on the Press-Ganey scores of hospitals. The focus has shifted not from the quality of the cares but whether the patients call light was answered quickly, and what the food tasted like. It is taking away from the importance of the actual cares that are provided, the monitoring, education, and life-saving treatments. Press-Ganey is the gold standard of evaluating a patient’s experience and it is a survey mailed to patients following their discharge (Cambria et al., 2019). Primarily the issue with this survey is that it doesn’t have a way to balance out bias or account for it. As is human nature we are likely to report and be more vocal on negative experiences versus that of positive responses. So, there are more people who reply to the survey that have had a negative experience in their hospital stay versus those that have had pleasant ones. A study that was done rec

Introduction

In February 2020, businesses worldwide had to adapt to a new way of working to keep their companies operational. COVID-19 compelled companies to innovate to maintain workforce productivity. Many businesses successfully transitioned numerous employees to remote work, while others implemented a hybrid schedule. All companies had to identify essential employees who needed to remain on-site. Human resource departments were tasked with making critical decisions to ensure fairness and continued operations.

The world was compelled to look beyond traditional office operations. Transitioning current staff to remote work was a significant task, but an even greater challenge was transitioning hiring and training to a virtual environment. Leveraging new technology and adjusting traditional processes led to a successful transition for most companies (Nagdeman, n.d.). This paper will examine the effects of current trends on the future of work, including issues that will shape the future of the U.S. workplace, the impact of the pandemic, the use of robots and artificial intelligence (AI), and the pros and cons of the future.

Issues Shaping the Future of the U.S. Workplace

Social Issues

Socially, it has become the norm for office-based employees to transition to working from home. While working from home has benefits for both employers and employees, there are social impacts of this transition. Employers are seeing an increase in different kinds of burnout. Among full-time work-from-home employees, 86% are experiencing burnout (McCain, 2022). Some reasons for this burnout include feeling pressured to work more hours than before, lacking employer support, and experiencing higher stress levels. Remote workers often find it difficult to separate work from their personal life, leading to increased working hours as work is always present. Burnout is not the only issue that employees are experiencing. There has been a significant impact on the mental health of remote workers. Employees who transitioned from office-based work to working from home experienced a 67% increase in loneliness (McCain, 2022).

Of those who reported increased loneliness, 12% indicated that their quality of work decreased due to loneliness (McCain, 2022). As the trend of remote working continues, employers could potentially face low morale leading to lower productivity. Additionally, the societal trend of increased mental health issues will likely continue to rise due to the mental effects of remote working. Changes in consumer habits, such as increased online shopping and having groceries delivered, are already evident. Services like DoorDash and Uber Eats have reduced the need for people to put themselves in social situations. This trend will negatively affect face-to-face interactions. The more remote workers we see who also shop online and have food delivered, the fewer face-to-face interactions there will be, creating a digitally-based social environment.

Technological Issues

Advances in technology have made working remotely seamless with tools using real-time audio and video communication. As more companies adopt a more digitalized workforce using technology, automation will likely replace many human jobs (Parikh, 2021). Despite automation, there will still be a need for humans to work with machines, which gives human productivity a different shape than we have seen so far (Parikh, 2021). Machines still require the human element, meaning there will still be jobs, but they will look different.

It is projected that by 2025, 50% of workers will need reskilling as automation will require a shift in roles (Parikh, 2021). With reskilling and shifting employees, there will be a transition from technical jobs to creative roles that require more strategy and innovation (Parikh, 2021). The shift in roles and skills in the workforce due to automation will likely result in many college students changing their career goals and choosing different majors. Technical majors may slowly decrease as careers such as UI/UX design increase due to the need for innovative ideas.

Ethical Issues

As the transition to a more automated workplace continues, there will be increased ethical questions, raising the importance of ethics in the workplace (Weinstein, 2021). Technology advances quicker than most people can comprehend, which means there will need to be an increased awareness in hiring and promoting only honest and accountable employees to prevent security breaches due to hackers knowing more about technology than the management team. Another aspect of ethics to consider is the mentality of remote workers feeling as though they need to constantly be working. Employers will need to get creative

However, I only agree with the education through advertisement without the use of influencing factors that should not come into play when making a decision about one’s health, for example, the use of celebrities to promote a medical product or medication. I do not believe this type of influence should take part in a person making a decision on taking a medication or using a product. Even if the guidelines set by the FDA are followed in the advertisement in regard to the medication, there is still an influence made by the celebrity

NURS FPX 4900 Assessment 3 Assessing the Problem Technology Care Coordination and Community Resources Considerations

Stigma and awareness are other barriers to be addressed for AUD patients. It is essential to destigmatize mental health concerns surrounding AUD patients for better accessibility and utilization of community resources (Finn et al., 2023). Community resources need continuous funding sources for sustainability, as fluctuations can affect the continuity and quality of services for AUD patients (like Mr. Paul). Studies have shown that community resources complement clinical interventions, extending the continuum of care beyond medical settings and supporting long-term recovery journeys (Mushi et al., 2023).

State Board Nursing Practice Standards

The American Nurse Association (ANA) is pivotal for AUD management and care coordination. It provides guidelines and standards for nurses to effectively address AUD. It further entails the utilization and leverage technology such as EHR, telehealth platforms, and digital tools. It provides instructions on using these tools to assess, monitor, and manage AUD. ANA advocates for integrating evidence-based practices, interdisciplinary collaboration, and individualized approaches for patients like Mr. Paul to manage AUD with

Impact of the American Red Cross on the Health and Safety Needs of the Community

The American Red Cross’s (ARC) work significantly impacts the local communities’ requirements for health and safety by addressing various emergencies, providing vital services, and promoting preparedness. ARC’s disaster response efforts, including sheltering, feeding, and providing medical assistance during emergencies such as natural disasters or large-scale accidents, directly contribute to safeguarding the health and safety of community members. Furthermore, the company’s health and safety education initiatives, like its CPR, first aid, and disaster preparedness classes, enable people to react to crises in a way that may save lives and lessen the severity of injuries (Barton, 2022).

Health information technologies have transformed significantly the provision of healthcare services in the modern world. Healthcare organizations embrace new technologies on a regular basis with the aim of enhancing the safety, quality, and efficiency of their patient care. The realization of such goals in care process contributes to improved organizational performance, competitiveness, and trust by the healthcare consumers. Healthcare providers play a pivotal role in facilitating the implementation of new health information systems in their organizations. They provide insights into the system needs of the technologies the

NURS FPX 6218 Assessment 4 Advocating for Lasting Change

• Establish and sustain mental health centers within educational settings.
• Implement evidence-based substance abuse treatment programs.
• Provide training and professional development opportunities for educators and healthcare providers.
• Promote awareness and destigmatize mental health and substance abuse issues.
• Ensure access to care, confidentiality, and legal protections for individuals seeking services. 

Federal policies can provide funding, resources, and guidelines for addressing mental health and substance abuse issues at the national level. This may include grants, legislation, and initiatives aimed at improving access to care and promoting evidence-based practices. State governments play a crucial role in healthcare policy, including licensing and regulation of healthcare providers, Medicaid expansion, and funding for mental health services. Similarly, State policies can support the implementation of local initiatives and programs aimed at addressing community-specific health needs. Additionally, local governments can implement policies and ordinances to support community-based interventions, such as zoning regulations for establishing mental health centers within educational settings, funding for community outreach programs, and partnerships with local service providers.

Assumptions Held by Policymakers

Assumptions held by policymakers, members of the community, or healthcare providers underlying current policy may include:

• Mental health and substance abuse issues are complex, multifaceted problems requiring comprehensive, multi-sectoral solutions.
• Early intervention and prevention efforts are more cost-effective and beneficial than reactive approaches (Moroz et al., 2020).
• Collaboration and coordination among stakeholders are essential for addressing community health needs effectively.
• Policies should prioritize equity, accessibility, and quality of care for all individuals, regardless of socioeconomic status or background.
• The stigma surrounding mental illness and substance abuse must be addressed through education, advocacy, and awareness campaigns (Javed et al., 2021).
• Adequate funding and resources are necessary to support sustainable, evidence-based interventions and programs within the healthcare system (Hertelendy et al., 2020).

Evidence for Proposed Changes

The proposed changes to the healthcare system addressing mental health and opioid misuse among youth in the Jordan community are supported by compelling evidence that they will produce the intended outcomes. Numerous studies and research findings support the effectiveness of integrating mental health services within educational settings. For example, a study by Chambers et al. (2020) demonstrated that engagement in early intervention services significantly improved outcomes for individuals recovering from substance use disorders. Additionally, McGorry et al. (2022) highlighted the positive impact of designing and scaling up integrated youth mental health care models, emphasizing the importance of accessible and integrated services for addressing mental health challenges among youth.

Furthermore, evidence-based substance abuse treatment programs have been shown to effectively reduce opioid misuse and improve outcomes for individuals struggling with addiction. Research by Cheetham et al. (2022) underscores the importance of destigmatizing substance abuse and promoting evidence-based treatment approaches, such as medication-assisted therapy and cognitive-behavioral interventions, in mitigating the opioid epidemic. Similarly, Mueller et al. (2021) emphasized the need for policy changes to address restrictive prescribing practices and increase access to treatment for individuals at risk of opioid misuse.

Moreover, professional development and training programs for educators and healthcare providers have been shown to enhance their capacity to identify and address mental health and substance abuse issues among youth. Studies by Kueper et al. (2022) and Mongelli et al. (2020) highlight the positive impact of training initiatives in improving knowledge, attitudes, and skills related to mental health and substance abuse prevention and intervention. By drawing upon a diverse range of research findings, the proposal strengthens its proposition for implementing evidence-based interventions within the healthcare system to address these critical public health challenges.

NURS FPX 8010 Assessment 4 Quality Improvement Proposal

In assessing policy recommendations, it is noted that no current policies exist detailing inbox management or expected response times for patients. The largest recommendation would be to develop and institute a policy which clearly delineates when messages or tasks are received who manages them and in what time frame are patients having their needs addressed. For example, within 30 days of implementation, all patient messages will be addressed and receive a response within 48 business hours for routine, non-urgent needs. Development and implementation of this type of policy level sets expectations across the organization and extends to the patients so they know what to expect as well. Additionally, if implemented, this policy would allow clinical leaders to hold their teams accountable for their respective productivity and responsiveness that directly contribute to the patient experience.

“Good communication skills are indispensable to basic concepts of nursing care as communicating effectively can help reduce the risk of medical errors, ensure better patient outcomes, and nurture patient satisfaction. A good patient experience– while considered merely desirable in the past – is moving center-stage” (Lang, 2012). The success of this project, if implemented would be determined by patient satisfaction numbers, which would demonstrate timelier patient-provider communications, and improved patient experiences. Continued success will also promote Adelante’s reputation in the community which may also drive more revenue through increased patient referrals.

SWOT Analysis and Contemporary Change Theory

In assessing the political landscape at Adelante Healthcare, traditional power dynamics exist as seen in the traditional organizational chart with the Chief Executive Officer at the head of the company. Along with this, however, is a strong display of informal power lines. Many of the executive leaders have built strong relationships with their peers, direct reports, and community contacts which, in turn, has built deep bonds of trust and respect. Understanding these power dynamics is crucial when considering change theories, policy recommendations, and/or quality improvement projects as these key stakeholders can help garner support and leverage resources that project leads may not otherwise have the access or capability to do.

Alongside the leveraging of key stakeholder support, the application of Lewin’s Change Theory could be a practical advantage. Lewin’s Change Theory “theorized a three-stage model of change known as the unfreezing-change-refreeze model that requires prior learning to be rejected and replaced” (Petiprin, 2020). Drawing from the unfreezing stage, Lewin suggests that teams and people let go of old, counterproductive habits that no longer serve a purpose; in this case, a lack of policy or procedure around patient-provider communications.

NURS FPX 8010 Assessment 4 Quality Improvement Proposal

The change stage theorizes that those same people or teams need to process and work through the newly implemented changes, which may require leaders to take a more vested interest in their teams and their adjustment to a new version of productivity. Lastly, the refreezing stage is a method of solidifying the new change to make it habitual. For this project, the standard operating procedure and supporting policies would be finalized and disseminated across the organization and leaders would be expected to hold their teams accountable and prevent them from returning to old habits which diminish the patient experience.

Adelante’s strategic priorities are spread across 4 domains: finance, people, patients, and wellness. The selected nursing department priority for this quality improvement proposal is patient experience which aligns directly with Adelante’s patient satisfaction objective in the patient domain. In conducting a SWOT analysis (Avila, 2022), strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats were reviewed and can be seen below.

Leveraging electronic Health Information Exchanges (HIEs) will facilitate seamless interoperability of patient records, thereby enhancing the overall quality of care.

Quality and Change Management Strategies:

Rigorous quality management strategies, including peer review and tracer methodology, will be employed to ensure the reliability and accuracy of our findings. Only peer-reviewed journal articles authored by accredited healthcare professionals will be incorporated into our study. Tracer methodology will be utilized to gauge compliance with standards pertaining to the quality of care for individual cancer patients.

Conclusion

This investigation will provide invaluable insights into end-of-life care practices for our cancer patients. It will shed light on the necessity of initiating discussions about end-of-life decisions early in the cancer diagnosis process to mitigate the likelihood of intensive end-of-life care and promote peaceful home-based transitions. Moreover, it will elucidate whether intensive care aligns with the preferences of these patients nearing the end of life. Furthermore, this study will enable us to assess the suitability of hospice and palliative care for patients experiencing deteriorating health and integrate these options into their end-of-life plans.

Overview

The exploration of end-of-life quality of care stands to enhance the planning process for cancer patients, thereby easing the burden on both patients and their families. This inquiry will investigate whether comprehensive discussions regarding end-of-life planning should commence at the time of diagnosis or if patients undergoing ICU care or novel chemotherapy regimens prior to death align with their preferences. Utilizing this research, our institution aims to optimize care for these patients while honoring their end-of-life wishes.

Issue Summary

The incident at Vila Health concerning a breach of patient privacy, violating the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), underscores the importance of safeguarding patient information (Vila Health: Patient Safety, 2021). HIPAA, enacted in 1996, mandates standards to protect patient data (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act [HIPAA], 2022; HHS.gov, 2022). The HIPAA Privacy Rule governs the use and disclosure of patients’ protected health information (PHI), emphasizing patient control over their data (HIPAA, 2022; Vila Health: Patient Safety, 2021).

To address HIPAA violations, it’s crucial to reeducate staff on HIPAA laws, ensure private discussions about patient care, and limit medical record access to direct care staff only (HIPAA, 2022; Berwick et al., 2008). Implementing the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) Triple Aim framework, which focuses on patient experience, cost reduction, and population health improvement, can enhance care quality and mitigate errors (Institute for Healthcare Improvement [IHI], 2018).

Culture

A safety culture prioritizes values, beliefs, and attitudes to ensure patient safety (Pellegrini, 2017). Trust-based communication and learning from adverse events are essential for fostering a safety culture (Pellegrini, 2017). The Joint Commission recommends principles such as recognizing error reporting and eliminating intimidating behavior to develop a robust safety culture (Berry et al., 2020).

Collaboration

Collaboration between risk management and nursing departments is vital for reducing errors and ensuring patient safety (Berry et al., 2020). By involving various departments and reinforcing patient identification protocols, hospitals can mitigate risks and enhance patient safety (Stevens, 2014).

In the dynamic landscape of healthcare, the indispensable role of healthcare professionals remains steadfast as the industry continues to transform and advance. Patients rely on healthcare professionals to establish a secure, ethical, and trusting relationship concerning their health.

Throughout this paper, I will identify a patient safety concern and explore its impact on patient safety. Secondly, I will assess the risks this concern poses to healthcare organizations if left unaddressed. Lastly, I will analyze the roles of patient safety officers and how recommendations from regulatory agencies contribute to enhancing patient safety.

Introduction

The Safety and Quality Dashboard serves as a pivotal tool in the healthcare domain, offering a visual representation of hospital performance. Its implementation has shown promising results, leading to an increase in overall hospital performance and a simultaneous reduction in errors. This paper delves into the multifaceted aspects of this dashboard and its implications for enhancing patient safety and quality of care.

Accreditation offers benefits such as on-site inspections, peer reviews, and guidance on organizational and patient care tasks, including governance and leadership (Araujo, Siqueira, & Malik, 2020). By incorporating regulations and evaluation procedures, accreditation helps ensure safe, high-quality services and effective leadership within healthcare organizations (Araujo et al., 2020).

Accreditation in healthcare refers to the process of evaluating and certifying the quality and safety of healthcare organizations and programs (Mate, Rooney, Supachutikul, & Gyani, 2014).

The purpose of this policy and procedure is to establish an environment of safety for both our patients and employees by:

1. Risk Elimination, Reduction, and Management: To identify, reduce, and manage threats and vulnerabilities to patients, as well as to the hospital’s information systems and applications.
2. Optimizing Care Delivery: To maximize opportunities for delivering optimal care while minimizing adversities.
3. Enhancing Patient Safety: To identify, resolve, and prevent potential risks throughout the hospital’s departments, with a central focus on patient safety and care.

Fraud and abuse pose significant challenges in the healthcare sector, impacting taxpayers, patients, and various entities involved. The National Healthcare Anti-Fraud Association (n.d.) reported that in 2018, healthcare expenses amounted to 3.6 trillion dollars, with a substantial portion allocated to healthcare insurance claims. Shockingly, health care fraud and abuse are estimated to cost the United States a staggering 68 billion dollars annually (Blue Cross Blue Shield, n.d.)

An operating budget forecasts anticipated income and expenses, akin to transactions in for-profit enterprises. It accounts for resources consumed during operations and the timing differences between resource utilization and cash inflows. Capital budgeting assesses potential ventures requiring significant investments, ensuring alignment with predefined criteria through financial analysis methods. Project budgets comprehensively estimate all costs incurred until project completion (Finkler et al., 2020). 

Medicaid provides coverage for low-income individuals and families (Casto, 2019A). Despite efforts to expand insurance coverage, options like Medicaid remain crucial for the uninsured (Rosenthal et al., 2016). Additionally, financing options and self-pay discounts are available. Financing companies may offer payment plans based on income, while self-pay patients can negotiate discounted rates (Lamberti, 2021).

This paper delves into the dynamics of competition within the healthcare industry and its implications for strategic planning. It also evaluates the frameworks associated with healthcare organizations and their operational impacts. Through a comprehensive examination of internal, external, and general environments, the paper highlights the necessity of strategic planning in navigating the challenges posed by competition and ensuring organizational success.

Subject: Reimbursement Models in Healthcare (BHA-FPX4009 – Assessment 1)

Traditional reimbursement methods in the medical field encompass Fee-for-Service (FFS), Episode-Based Payment (EBP), and the Capitation model, alongside contemporary trends influencing healthcare service costs. There is a significant shift in healthcare towards value-based payment systems from the conventional volume-driven payment approaches. This memorandum aims to provide insights into traditional and evolving reimbursement methodologies.

BHA-FPX4104 Strategic Leadership and Workforce Planning in Health Care

Definition of Strategic Planning

Strategic planning encapsulates the process by which organizational leaders delineate their future vision while delineating their objectives and goals for the organization. It serves as a pivotal tool employed by organizations to attain their objectives, evade potential pitfalls, gain perspective on actions, and facilitate policy execution. Originating in the corporate realm during the 1960s, strategic planning has persisted as a cornerstone of strategic management.

Part 2: Staffing Plan and Competitive Advantage

Nursing Staffing as a Critical Factor

BHA FPX 4104 assessment 4 Human Resources: Strategy and Competitive Advantage

Implications of Unaddressed Issues

The effective execution of organizational strategic plans hinges on employee engagement and cooperation. Without adequate staffing policies, strategic goals would be rendered ineffective. According to Lowe (2015), achieving a high level of employee engagement is crucial for realizing organizational goals and vision. Cohesion, transparency, and teamwork are essential to resolving employee grievances and realizing strategic objectives.

Human Resources as a Competitive Advantage

Human resources play a pivotal role in recruiting, training, administering, and managing employees within an organization. In the healthcare sector, staying ahead of competitors necessitates leveraging human resources to attract talented individuals who embody the organization’s mission, vision, and values (O’Donnell, 2019). Human resources serve as gatekeepers, conducting thorough background checks to ensure alignment with organizational objectives (O’Donnell, 2019).

Conclusion

In conclusion, hospital staffing should not be viewed solely as an expense to be minimized. Overburdening nurses with excessive patient assignments increases the likelihood of medical errors and compromises patient safety. To mitigate these risks, hospitals must prioritize adequate staffing to alleviate burdens on staff and enhance patient satisfaction and care.

Additionally, measures for evaluating and gauging the success of an implemented staffing plan will be identified. Furthermore, the repercussions for an organization’s future if the workforce fails to adapt and meet the organization’s needs will be elucidated. Finally, an exploration of how human resources can serve as a competitive advantage within an organization will be conducted. Part 1: Comparison of Current Workforce to Future Needs Capacity of Current Staffing The current staffing capacity at SAMC has been strained by its existing staff and leadership. The recent train derailment has exacerbated staffing limitations, particularly evident in the shortage of language interpreters in the emergency room department. The growing number of Limited English proficiency (LEP) patients has compromised the hospital’s ability to deliver optimal care to linguistically diverse patients. For instance, without multilingual nurses, adequate care for the Hmong and Somali communities in the vicinity would be compromised. Insufficient nursing presence in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) during evening and night shifts has also impeded patient care. SAMC operates on a razor’s edge concerning nurse staffing and must develop strategies to address these operational challenges. Failure to rectify nursing shortages would lead to loss of patient revenue to competing hospitals and increased staff turnover. Moreover, overburdening nurses with high patient ratios would result in longer wait times and diminished care quality, subsequently reducing patient volumes and census in the hospital (Bridges et al., 2019). Research by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) indicates that hospitals with low nurse staffing levels tend to experience higher rates of adverse patient outcomes such as pneumonia, cardiac arrest, and urinary tract infections (AHRQ, 2019). Consequently, neglecting staffing concerns could lead to job-related burnout among healthcare professionals, resulting in suboptimal medical care and decreased patient satisfaction (Heath, 2018).

Transitional Care Management (TCM) refers to the patient’s transition from hospital discharge to continued care in the community. This study will conduct a cost-benefit analysis (CBA) to evaluate the costs and benefits of the TCM program, analyzing its benefit-to-risk ratio. The benefits and objectives of TCM in a hospital setting include reducing patient readmissions, improving the quality of care outside the hospital, ensuring continuity of care, and promoting long-term health for discharged patients (Elsener et al., 2023). The CBA will help determine the cost-effectiveness of TCM by identifying its anticipated costs over five years and comparing them with the projected benefits, aiding in making informed decisions (Elsener et al., 2023).

Organizational Structures, Mission, and Vision

The healthcare team employs a holistic approach, with nutritionists providing evidence-based diet plans, physiotherapists offering tailored exercise regimens, cardiologists monitoring patients’ symptoms, and information technologists facilitating telehealth solutions (Nicolai et al., 2018).

Given the emphasis on Electronic Health Record (EHR) proficiency, we must incorporate EHR-focused roles into our structure. A dedicated EHR team headed by a Chief Information Officer (CIO) or Chief Medical Information Officer (CMIO) will streamline EHR operations. This team can liaise directly with care providers. It ensures that technical challenges are rapidly addressed, and user feedback influences software upgrades and training content. Furthermore, integrating this structure will solidify the organization’s commitment to digital transformation and quality care (Schleyer, 2022).

Hello everyone! I hope this announcement finds you in the best of health. This announcement is generated with the aim of informing you that there is going to be an ‘all-mandatory meeting’ at stakeholder meetings on Friday at 2:30 pm. post-lunch break. The agenda of the meeting is to discuss the implementation and association of the new telehealth technology with practice. This new technology is called wearables or remote monitoring devices, and the aim is to enhance the patient’s engagement in their own treatment while encouraging them to monitor their vitals accordingly.

In this comprehensive assessment, I reflect on my practicum experience as a nurse informaticist in a cancer centre and discuss the impact of diabetes self-management education on patient outcomes based on a peer-reviewed article. Completing the required NURS FPX 6025 Assessment 3 Practicum and Scholarly Article, practicum hours further validates my readiness for future nursing endeavours.

Hypertension (HTN), a widespread health issue, is prevalent in middle-aged and older adults, as well as those with specific genetic predispositions (Oparil et al., 2019). This patient-centered needs assessment looks into harnessing healthcare technology targeted to this high-risk population’s particular needs. Based on evidence-based techniques, the evaluation addresses the target population’s multifaceted health, economic, and cultural characteristics, enabling increased patient engagement and more successful HTN management.

NURS FPX 6011 Assessment 2 Evidence Based Population Health Improvement Plan

It is also important to assess the achievement made toward systems-change objectives such as improved educational meals, broader public transportation, more extensive coverage through insurance for dietary offerings, and permitting regulations that support living an active life. Such changes in our surroundings are necessary to have a long-lasting effect on overweight. Following them reveals that significant shift often happens gradually. We may objectively measure the effect and drive policy to attain health equality by addressing adiposity throughout all groups using community-centered standards to track health consequences and generate variables (Kitson et al., 2021).

Implementation of Population Health Improvement Plan

Collaborations with neighborhood groups that support those in need, such as the Obesity Action Coalition (OAC), are going to be essential to carrying out an obesity management strategy responsibly and efficiently (Obesity Action Coalition, 2019). Food stores, educational institutions, parks agencies, transportation leaders, religious organizations, and neighborhood health clinics are examples of pertinent stakeholders. It will be crucial to communicate with respect and develop trust. Sessions need to take into account cultural norms, difficulties with medical education, and worries about the confidentiality of information (Platter et al., 2021). Accessibility will be improved by providing medical ideas in a straightforward manner and by using anonymized or aggregated information. Comment may be gathered, and news about progress can be shared via brochures, television shows, institutions of learning, and congregations, among various other methods (Vaughan et al., 2021).

One way to politely share views and observations with nonprofit organizations is to organize a neighborhood advisory board with members drawn from the affected populations. This demographic may direct the right message and customization of interventions. Collaborating with Latino congregations, for instance, might provide invaluable insights into communicating nutrition principles in a manner that is both relevant and respectful of ethnic culinary customs. It will be crucial to maintain constant contact via discussion forums, consultative committees, and open community gatherings. This will guarantee that the strategy takes care of the underlying causes of overweight or obesity, which include injustice toward the environment, impoverishment, hazardous communities, and an absence of access to preventative treatment. Not only is the interaction that promotes the exchange of knowledge moral, but it is also practical. For the purpose of developing long-lasting solutions to challenging safety issues, the firsthand knowledge of community members is essential (Calancie et al., 2023).

Value and Relevance of Evidence

For the purpose of setting objectives and monitoring advancement over time, precise, up-to-date statistics on the prevalence of obesity are crucial. Important statistical information showing rising instances of overweight over the last 20 years, particularly severe weight gain, may be found in the NIDDK (2021) numbers. Population breakdowns highlight inequalities that need to be addressed; for example, certain classes of obesity have a greater prevalence of overweight among men and women and racial minorities. The use of sophisticated mapping and information analysis programs may help guide initiatives to avoid obesity. Geographical investigation, for instance, may be used to determine “food deserts” and workout deficiencies in infrastructure in local areas. Algorithms for predictions may also be used to assist resource allocation by estimating future illness prevalence and expenditures under multiple intervention possibilities (Buchanan et al., 2020).

Studies clarifying the environmental causes of obesity are also very important, especially for underprivileged groups. According to research by Blackstone and Herrmann (2020), obesity is mostly caused by low-income areas’ poor exercise opportunities and restricted access to wholesome, reasonably priced meals. This emphasizes how important it is to modify policies and implement focused initiatives to increase the utilization of healthy nutrition and physical activity in underprivileged communities.

To pull alongside various organizations in the community to promote significant change, seamless interaction will prove essential. The purpose of the first sessions should be to present scientifically supported strategies and get opinions on their viability and suitability for the community at large. It will be easier to adapt projects so that they align with the objectives and values of organizations if thorough listening and transparent communication are encouraged. Occasional advancement reports

Failure to address this issue will have dire consequences for our constituents. Without adequate access to mental health care services, individuals will continue to suffer needlessly, resulting in a decline in overall well-being and quality of life (Coombs et al., 2021). Furthermore, the economic costs associated with untreated mental illness, such as lost productivity and increased healthcare expenditures, will only continue to escalate.

Strategic Actions to Align Structure with Governance

To optimize IT governance, organizational leaders must align on strategic priorities and ensure active participation across divisions. A shared understanding of core objectives will enable cohesive decision-making. Cross-functional involvement in governance processes will break down silos and identify dependencies. Ongoing reinforcement of strategic goals through governance policies and training will sustain alignment (Azeem et al., 2021). These structured frameworks for strategy-driven governance will facilitate appropriate oversight and value creation.

Ethical Responsibility

Beyond formal governance, we must prioritize ethical responsibility in all operations. This entails considering our impacts on the environment, employees, customers, and society. As an ethical company, we must take a long-term view when evaluating risks, resources, and relationships (Rossi et al., 2021). Fair labor practices, sustainable operations, regulatory compliance, and diversity and inclusion initiatives demonstrate an ethical approach. Embedding ethical responsibility throughout our culture builds trust and integrity with stakeholders. It also reinforces our commitment to equal and transparent competition. Overall, ethical governance and corporate citizenship provide strategic and social benefits.

Protections for Vulnerable Populations

Federal regulations, including the Common Rule, issued by the Department of Health and Human Services, provide protections for vulnerable populations in human research (US Department of Health & Human Services, 2020). These regulations include subparts that protect pregnant women, human fetuses, neonates, prisoners, and children (CITI Program, n.d.) (US Department of Health & Human Services, 2020).

Conclusion

 The importance of human research cannot be overstated. By protecting the rights and welfare of human subjects, we enable critical medical advancements while ensuring fair and respectful treatment of study participants. The history of human research ethics highlights the need for robust safeguards to protect the well-being of all individuals involved.

Publications such as the “Journal of Nursing Education” are suitable outlets for their work. The “National League for Nursing Education Summit” is a great stage for them to share their innovative strategies (Kaas, 2019).

Qualifications as a Change Agent

In the context of nursing education, the role of a nurse educator as a change agent requires specific qualifications that facilitate the initiation and drive for positive transformation. Such qualifications encompass strong leadership, effective communication abilities, a robust knowledge base, the courage to challenge existing practices, and a commitment to continuous professional development. With these qualities, a nurse educator can influence decision,  articulate change, propose innovative methodologies and stay updated on healthcare and education trends (Jeffries, 2022). Therefore, a nurse educator equipped with these qualifications is well-positioned to be an impactful change agent, fostering innovation and promoting continuous improvement in nursing education.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the tripartite model of teaching, service, and scholarship plays a vital role in the career growth of a nurse educator. It underscores the importance of excelling in these areas to foster a positive learning environment and advance nursing education. The assessment highlighted the significance of mentorship for new educators and tenure recognition, both crucial to sustained excellence in the field. It identified various scholarship opportunities related to specific areas of expertise and evaluated key qualifications for nurse educators as change agents. Overall, it provided a thorough reflection on the diverse responsibilities and opportunities within the nurse educator profession.

Teaching Strategies

In the dynamic field of education, the quality of instruction plays a pivotal role in fostering effective learning. Specifically, when designing a course, it is vital to consider learning outcomes, appropriate teaching strategies, managing potential barriers to learning, and strategies to maintain student motivation. This report, developed for a stress management course designed for ADN nursing students, seeks to detail these considerations using the latest peer-reviewed literature.

This analysis delves into the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) curriculum offered by Capella University, presenting a detailed exploration of its structure, mission, theoretical framework, and alignment with professional nursing standards.

Identification of Nursing Curriculum and Target Learner Population

Comparatively, an alternative learning theory like “Piaget’s Cognitive Development Theory” might not be as effective. While Piaget’s theory provides a valuable framework for understanding cognitive development, its focus on individual cognitive stages could limit its applicability in a diverse learning environment such as a nursing course. The theory’s emphasis on solitary exploration of concepts might not facilitate the level of interaction necessary to prepare students for real-world nursing practice where teamwork and collaboration are vital (Hanfstingl et al., 2019).

Another consequence would be increased morbidity and mortality rate. A thorough examination of the foot and legs as well as HBA1c tests assists healthcare providers in early diagnosis and management of the disease using appropriate interventions. HBA1c is considered a biomarker for the diagnosis of diabetes whereas early and constant foot examination prevents the occurrence of diabetic foot ulcers (Kaiafa et al., 2020; Song & Chamber, 2023). Inadequate tests and examinations may lead to poor quality of care, delayed diagnosis, and treatment, and subsequently cause patients’ death. Lastly, the hospital as well as patients may encounter financial burdens due to high costs associated with the readmission rates and severe morbidities.

A comprehensive method for gathering clinical diagnostic data is offered via medical article databases, webpages, hospital regulations databases, and others. A distinct viewpoint on the publications’ applicability to caregivers in this context will be offered by ranking three of the five explicitly related to CHF; for caregivers researching CHF, the Capella University Library served as an invaluable resource—evidence-based solutions. Material from CINAHL, PubMed, Medline, and Cochrane is available via this internet-based library (etutorsusa, 2023).

Locating Credible Databases and Research

Evidence-based practice (EBP) is necessary for providing high-quality, patient-centered medical care. To use EBP, baccalaureate nurses who oversee clinical staff must work together and interact with one another. Congestive heart failure is treated by recently recruited healthcare professionals (CHF). We will look at how evidence-based practice affects the health of patients. NURS FPX 4030 Assessment 1, The emphasis will be on comprehending the unique problems associated with CHF and developing strategies to include newly qualified nurses in EBP. 

It is necessary to enhance evidence-based practice for several reasons. It initially guarantees that medical treatment is grounded on up-to-date, validated study results and business standards of excellence. Both outcomes for patients and treatment effectiveness are enhanced by this (Engle et al., 2021). Furthermore, EBP has to be promoted within clinical personnel by supervisory nurses with baccalaureate training. Thinking strategically and having an ongoing learning attitude foster competency and career progression.

Strategy for Communication and Collaboration

They must collaborate and communicate effectively to encourage nurses, particularly novices, to learn about congestive heart failure (CHF) and use A based-on-science application. To promote learning, it is essential to have open interaction channels and provide a forum where nurses can voice their worries and inquiries (Chih et al. et al., 2023). These conversations may be facilitated via public discussion boards, inspections, or team conferences. Educating clinicians on the value of evidence-based practice, or EBP, might encourage them to incorporate research findings into their treatment plans (Pedroni et al., 2023). Emphasizing EBP improves patients’ health and makes nurses feel more responsible and purposeful.

Mentoring initiatives provide helpful counsel to nurses dealing with challenging situations such as congestive heart failure (CHF), which may reduce stress. Over the years, a nursing professional’s competence and attitude may be strengthened by the guidance of more seasoned nurses as they undertake research (Pedroni et al., 2023). NURS FPX 4030 Assessment 1: Locating Credible Databases and Research, Knowledge exchange is made possible by encouraging cooperation among medical staff members and creating supporting networks, which further support the implementation of EBP for the best possible care. Research has shown that teamwork improves caregivers’ professional abilities. Healthcare professionals can collectively create solutions supported by evidence by exchanging perspectives and expertise (Simpkins, 2021). It is essential to do regular assessments and discussions about feedback to maintain involvement. Through these interaction points, nurses may monitor developments and report any problems they encounter while researching or implementing new procedures.

Benefits and Literature Support

These tactics support professional development, investigation, and robust healthcare team dynamics. Research shows that cooperation enhances professional competence. Studies have shown that evidence-based practice engagement among healthcare professionals is enhanced by excellent relationships with colleagues and ongoing support. In particular, new physicians are motivated and assisted in their studies of illnesses such as CHF by the use of teamwork and interaction approaches. These strategies support studies and foster a cooperative, professional environment.

Best Research Places

Evidence-based practice (EBP) in the medical field requires reliable, accurate, and pertinent data. The most beneficial work research venues must be chosen by nurses researching CHF. Research is improved when investigators know which organizations to consult for relevant details and whether to employ certain medical facilities (Felker et al., 2020). The Capella University Library has CINAHL, PubMed, Medline, and Cochrane online, making it an excellent resource for healthcare professionals looking into CHF. In addition, the library provides vital hospital policies, guidelines, regulations, and resources for medical study (etutorsusa, 2023). It offers nurses thorough and reliable evidence-based knowledge as their go-to source for reputable and academic publications. NURS FPX 4030 Assessment 1: Locating Credible Da

NURS FPX 4060 Assessment 1 objective of a health promotional strategy is to thus impact positively on the health status of a country, organization or targeted population by enhancing the participation level of such a population in various health activities. The communication via the plan aims to reduce the risk of chronic diseases and morbidities by increasing the awareness and involvement of the targeted population mentioned by Gallagher et al. (2021). Among the key parameters of health promotion plans, the WHO states the right to be in charge of one’s health. Educational programme for protection and provision of healthcare facilities requires social and environment-oriented programs.

NURS FPX 4050 Assessment 3 Rationale for Coordinated Care Plans

Ethical aspects need to be taken into account when developing CCPs, as the care has to be delivered properly, in the right manner and way, and as efficiently as possible. These care plans include applying ethical values of beneficence, non-malicious intentions, respecting the client’s decisions, and equity that the involved healthcare workers practice. Beneficence involves an obligation to care and always the right thing is to act with a benevolent purpose of causing good to the patients through positive health alteration. Nonetheless, non-maleficence aforesaid that healthcare givers should not harm anyone. Consequently, the care coordination plans have to be created with attention to the potential enhancements that may hurt the patient and to ensure that all of the suggested interventions will correspondingly improve the patient’s state (Smith & Lee, 2021).

Personal Leadership Philosophies Sample 2

Effective leadership skills are essential in bringing innovation and change to an organization and ensuring flexibility in adapting to the changing environment (Zuckerman & O’Shea, 2021). According to a recent study, enterprises with effective leadership styles have increased employee relationships, reduced staff turnover, fewer tensions, higher staff involvement in the workflow, and improved resource utilization (Zuckerman & O’Shea, 2021). Leaders must incorporate core values into their leadership to ensure they have a compass to guide them as they lead others. Additionally, knowing your values as a leader is essential to mastering your strength, especially when interacting with others.

Medical centers may employ several strategies to keep treatment costs low while maintaining high standards. Big healthcare facilities are making similar efforts to curb the rising expense of hypertension management, which has been shown to affect both care quality and patient safety negatively.

Various factors influence healthcare delivery, but chronic illnesses are the primary reason for the largely unmet demand for medical services. Inadequate monitoring of these factors can lead to a crisis in the healthcare system when providers cannot meet patients’ requirements. It is important to remember that hospitals and other healthcare facilities should routinely evaluate their preparedness to prevent problems like poor service standards, rising expenses, and compromised patient safety. Nearly half of American adults have hypertension (high blood pressure), per the CDC (2021), which might cause a public health emergency if not handled effectively.

Change Theories That Could Lead to an Interdisciplinary Solution

Numerous approaches and models aimed at changing people’s behavior have been developed. The Five As Behavior Change Model can be appropriate in the hospital under analysis. This model implies five stages that include assessing, advising, agreeing, assisting, and arranging (Lopez-Jeng & Eberth, 2019). The interdisciplinary team will assess the situation (exploring behaviors and beliefs) and advise on the benefits of change. The next phase is agreeing, which encompasses the development of specific goals. Assisting is an important stage that involves the identification of major barriers and approaches for change.

Finally, arranging implies the creation of a sound plan that can be an effective policy in the case under study. This model should be used to create interdisciplinary teams that will develop safety policies that will become the basis of safety culture. The model for change has been employed in diverse settings and has proved to be effective. The model is described in the study implemented by Lopez-Jeng and Eberth (2019). This source is relevant as the article is current and published in a peer-reviewed journal. The researchers utilize sound methodology and appropriate sample size.

Let’s start

Effective leadership is an important component of organizational change related to safety culture establishment (Kagan, Porat, & Barnoy, 2019; Tetuan et al., 2017). Transformational leadership is the most appropriate leadership strategy in the present case as healthcare professionals need encouragement, support, and guidance rather than performance ratings and punishment/reward approach (Kagan et al., 2019).

The healthcare professionals employed in intensive care units are overwhelmed with tasks, have to respond to numerous emergency situations, which leads to medical errors. Interdisciplinary teams will identify the major causes and effects of medical errors, as well as barriers to implementing change from different perspectives (Tetuan et al., 2017). The sources referenced in this section are credible as they are published in peer-reviewed articles. They are current and based on sound methodology.

Collaboration Approaches for Interdisciplinary Teams

As mentioned above, transformational leadership should be employed to ensure effective collaboration within interdisciplinary teams. Each team will have a leader coordinating the work of the team. This leader should acknowledge the need for change and should understand the value of every member’s input (Tetuan et al., 2017). Kagan et al. (2019) explore the benefits of the involvement of patients in the creation of a safety culture, which can be relevant in the present case. As mentioned above, the administration of the hospital implemented research related to medical error.

This experience can be utilized to examine the current safety culture based on the attitudes of healthcare professionals, administrators, and patients (Kagan et al., 2019). This approach will help identify major weaknesses and barriers to establishing a sound safety culture. The articles referenced in this section are relevant as they are based on proper methodology and are published in current peer-reviewed articles.

Interdisciplinary teams evaluate the patient’s health information in EHR. The evaluation includes nursing data documentation, doctors’ updates, and wound healing guidelines. The team examines the data to gather information on HAPU history, therapy protocols, and risk evaluations. The collected information is subsequently communicated through several channels, including quality enhancement reports, discussions or presentations, and training sessions. These reports are distributed to multidisciplinary groups and management to increase awareness, track trends, and promote advancement activities. Furthermore, the health organization has built feedback channels to guarantee that nurses receive practical information from the data, enabling ongoing enhancement in patient care procedures (Getie et al., 2020).

Improvement Plan Toolkit

The improvement plan toolkit developed in this assessment aims to enhance understanding of the safety improvement plan for reducing patient identification errors among healthcare staff and the relevant workforce. As the Arnold Palmer Hospital has been facing patient identification errors lately, a safety improvement plan is developed in the previous assessment. To better understand this plan, the improvement plan toolkit is designed to comprise research-based evidence focusing on patient identification errors and a tailored safety improvement plan. The toolkit is built by delving into research articles and drawing relevant articles as evidence-based practices to prevent patient misidentification.  The four categories focusing on patient identification errors and safety improvement plans are patient identification and its significance in healthcare, procedures, and protocols to prevent patient identification, technology integration, and innovation and human-centered approaches towards correct patient identification.

 The Christian worldview in light of George’s condition will employ different values and consideration as dictated by the biblical teachings. One of the considerations which will be taken is the value of life as earlier discussed. The Christian worldview considers the sanctity of life and considers it as a gift from God.

How would George interpret his suffering in light of the Christian narrative, with an emphasis on the hope of resurrection?

Using the narratives described in the previous section, facing such a condition as the one being faced by George, there are various perspectives which may be taken by George. Knowing the world as a fallen place for sinners, with heaven being a place for the righteous, George may view death as a gateway which will allow him to escape the suffering that awaits him with the progression of his medical condition.

Case Study on Death and Dying

The concept of death and dying, is, in most cases viewed from different perspectives depending on one’s cultural and spiritual beliefs.   An individual’s choice on how they approach or look at death can also vary depending on the condition they are in. The selection of voluntary euthanasia, in light of terminal illnesses, is one which has elicited discussion, especially from different religious groups, including Christianity.

This paper will evaluate a case of Mr George, a fifty-year-old lawyer diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Due to his condition, George is considering voluntary euthanasia as a possible option to avoid the harrowing life that awaits him after the disease has taken its course.

The Christian narrative has different interpretations of suffering as that which is experienced by George. The first interpretation of suffering is the notion that suffering comes as a form of test to measure our faith in God (O’brien, 2017). There are various biblical examples where suffering was used as a test of faith.

George is also actively involved in his teenage son’s basketball league, coaching regularly for their team. Recently, George has experienced muscle weakness and unresponsive muscle coordination. He was forced to seek medical attention after he fell and injured his hip. After an examination at the local hospital following his fall, the attending physician suspected that George may be showing early symptoms for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a degenerative disease affecting the nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. The week following the initial examination, further testing revealed a positive diagnosis of ALS Case Study on Death and Dying.

Case Study: End of Life Decisions

George is a successful attorney in his mid-fifties. He is also a legal scholar, holding a teaching post at the local university law school in Oregon. George is also actively involved in his teenage son’s basketball league, coaching regularly for their team. Recently, George has experienced muscle weakness and unresponsive muscle coordination. He was forced to seek medical attention after he fell and injured his hip. After an examination at the local hospital following his fall, the attending physician suspected that George may be showing early symptoms for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a degenerative disease affecting the nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. The week following the initial examination, further testing revealed a positive diagnosis of ALS.

ALS is progressive and gradually causes motor neuron deterioration and muscle atrophy to the point of complete muscle control loss. There is currently no cure for ALS, and the median life expectancy is between 3 and 4 years, though it is not uncommon for some to live 10 or more years. The progressive muscle atrophy and deterioration of motor neurons leads to the loss of the ability to speak, move, eat, and breathe. However, sight, touch, hearing, taste, and smell are not affected. Patients will be wheelchair bound and eventually need permanent ventilator support to assist with breathing.

George and his family are devastated by the diagnosis. George knows that treatment options only attempt to slow down the degeneration, but the symptoms will eventually come. He will eventually be wheelchair bound and be unable to move, eat, speak, or even breathe on his own.

In contemplating his future life with ALS, George begins to dread the prospect of losing his mobility and even speech. He imagines his life in complete dependence upon others for basic everyday functions and perceives the possibility of eventually degenerating to the point at which he is a prisoner in his own body. Would he be willing to undergo such torture, such loss of his own dignity and power? George thus begins inquiring about the possibility of voluntary euthanasia

Zolpidem (Ambien)

Zolpidem is a non-benzodiazepine receptor modulator that is approved to be used as a short-term treatment for insomnia (Bouchette et al., 2022). It is a listed medication in the American Geriatrics Society 2019 Updated Criteria for Potentially Inappropriately Medication Use in Older Adults because the elderly can have similar adverse effects as with benzodiazepines, such as delirium, falls, and increased need for hospitalization. In my experience, we gave this medication cautiously to the elderly in the hospital. This was not a first-line of sleep-aids due to the possible adverse effects. I do remember some of our patients “sleepwalking” or becoming delirious after taking this, and then having no recollection of their activities in the morning. Luckily we were there to monitor and intervene, but it could lead to harm if they were left unattended.

Absorption

Zolpidem is rapidly absorbed by the digestive tract and has a short half-life in healthy patients (Bouchette et al., 2022). Elderly population have decreased motility. This population should only receive the lowest dose of 5 mg because their concentrations were higher in RCTs (Bouchette et al., 2022).

Metabolism

This medication is converted into an inactive metabolite. Hepatic impairment, especially in the elderly, will affect the metabolism and dosage of medication given (Bouchette et al., 2022).

Distribution

This drug has vast distribution throughout the body and crosses the blood-brain barrier. Other effects that zolpidem can have is restoring brain function in patients that are in a vegetative state after brain injury (Bouchette et al., 2022).

Excretion

Zolpidem is excreted by the kidneys (Bouchette et al., 2022). Clearance will be decreased in the elderly.

DNP nurses have the potential to make profound and lasting changes in patient care, communities, and the nursing profession. For example, by advocating for policies that prioritize preventive care, such as immunization programs for underserved populations, DNP nurses can significantly reduce the incidence of vaccine-preventable diseases. This directly impacts patient health and contributes to overall public health by reducing the burden of preventable diseases on the healthcare system.

Communities benefit when DNP nurses take a leadership role in addressing the SDOH. For example, a DNP nurse might work to improve access to nutritious food in low-income neighborhoods by collaborating with local food banks or farmers’ markets. This type of community engagement helps to address one of the key factors that contribute to poor health outcomes—lack of access to healthy food. By advocating for such initiatives, DNP nurses can make tangible improvements in community health and well-being.

The nursing profession also benefits from the leadership of DNP nurses in advocating for social change. By leading initiatives that address health inequities, DNP nurses set an example for the broader nursing community. Their work inspires other nurses to engage in similar efforts, creating a collective impact that extends throughout the profession. Additionally, DNP nurses contribute to the development of nursing policy, ensuring that the profession continues to evolve in response to the changing needs of society.

Conclusion

The role of the DNP-prepared nurse as an agent of positive social change is crucial in today’s healthcare landscape. Through their leadership, expertise, and advocacy, DNP nurses are uniquely positioned to address health disparities and work toward a more equitable healthcare system. By focusing on the social determinants of health and advocating for policies that promote health equity, DNP nurses contribute to a healthier future for individuals and communities. Their commitment to social justice and healthcare reform not only improves patient care but also advances the nursing profession as a whole. As DNP nurses continue to lead efforts to promote social change, they will inspire future generations of nurses to follow in their footsteps and work toward a more just and equitable healthcare system.

Positive Social Change: The Role of the DNP-Prepared Nurse

Social change is a fundamental principle that drives progress in society, and it plays a central role in the mission of Walden University. The sociological definition of social change refers to the transformation of culture, behavior, social institutions, and social structures over time (University of Minnesota, 2016). Walden’s definition is more succinct and directly aligned with the purpose of higher education: it is about “people working to improve the lives of others” (Walden University, n.d.). As nurses with Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) preparation, we are uniquely positioned to serve as agents of social change in healthcare. The DNP-prepared nurse has the education, expertise, and leadership abilities to influence positive social change in both healthcare practices and policies. This blog will explore how DNP nurses can be catalysts for social change, the ways in which they demonstrate their commitment, and the positive impact they have on patients, communities, and the nursing profession.

The Role of the DNP-Prepared Nurse as an Agent of Positive Social Change

DNP nurses are at the forefront of implementing and advocating for changes that improve the health and well-being of individuals and communities. In this role, they combine their clinical expertise with leadership, research, and policy development to foster a healthcare environment that is equitable, effective, and patient-centered. The DNP-prepared nurse is not merely a clinical practitioner but also a leader who advocates for system-wide changes that address the root causes of health disparities and social injustice.

One of the most significant ways in which DNP nurses contribute to positive social change is through addressing social determinants of health (SDOH). These factors—such as income, education, and access to healthcare—significantly influence health outcomes (CDC, 2022). DNP nurses are uniquely qualified to identify these determinants and lead initiatives aimed at mitigating their impact. For example, a DNP-prepared nurse might advocate for policy changes that reduce infection rates in vulnerable populations, such as elderly individuals in long-term care facilities. By developing infection prevention programs and implementing evidence-based practices, these nurses reduce healthcare-associated infections, improving patient outcomes and promoting health equity.

Another way DNP nurses influence positive social change is by leading organizational initiatives to provide equitable access to healthcare services. For instance, many older adults face barriers to accessing vaccinations due to lack of insurance or transportation. DNP nurses may collaborate with healthcare administrators to develop outreach programs that deliver immunizations to these individuals, thus reducing preventable illnesses in an underserved population. This not only benefits individual health but also contributes to the overall well-being of the community by reducing the spread of infectious diseases.

Demonstrating Commitment to Positive Social Change as a DNP-Prepared Nurse

Demonstrating a commitment to social change requires more than just performing clinical tasks. It involves actively engaging in efforts that create long-lasting and positive changes in the healthcare system. As a DNP-prepared nurse, I intend to contribute to social change by advocating for policies that ensure equitable access to healthcare and by developing programs that address the SDOH. One important initiative is the integration of social care into the healthcare delivery system. For example, collaborating with social workers and other healthcare providers, DNP nurses can help to bridge the gap between clinical care and social services, ensuring that patients receive comprehensive care that addresses their medical and social needs.

Additionally, as a DNP-prepared nurse, I am committed to educating the next generation of nurses about the importance of social justice in healthcare. This includes mentoring nursing students and professionals about the need for culturally competent care and the critical role that nurses play in advocating for vulnerable populations. By teaching future nurses about the impact of SDOH on health outcomes, we are preparing them to be leaders who will continue to advocate for social change in their own practices.

Moreover, DNP nurses must continuously engage in research and evidence-based practice to advocate for changes in healthcare policies and practices that improve patient outcomes. For example, a DNP nurse might conduct research on the effectiveness of a community-based intervention to improve health literacy among low-income populations. Based on the findings, the nurse can advocate for broader implementation of the intervention,

Overview of the Case Study

In the case study the main character is E. L. Straight who is director of clinical services at Hopewell Hospital. Dr. Cutrite is a quite well-known surgeon in the hospital, who is famous for his brilliant surgeries in the past. However, he has slipped physically and mentally over the years, and Straight is contemplating taking steps to recommend a reduction in his privileges. Whereas such procedure takes a practically long time and the process is not complete, the doctor continues to perform a full range of procedures. During the development of the story, the readers realize that Dr. Cutrite left a plastic needle protector from a disposable syringe in a patient’s stomach. The supervisor said that the syringe was among the items in a used surgical pack. E. L. Straight suggested putting the aforementioned patient, Mrs. Jameson, to go back into surgery. He did not plan on actually explaining to her that they were going to look for the needle cover. The unfortunate event was that she had already left the hospital. Moreover, the guilty doctor Cutrite would not consider Mrs. Jameson there might be a problem and called her back to the hospital, while the chief of surgery said there was no promise that there would not be any consequences of such negligence.

Analysis of Ethical Issues in the Case Study

To begin with, the main ethical dilemma of E. L. Straight was rather to listen to a rather politically powerful member of the hospital or to follow the principle of non-maleficence. In this scenario, Dr. Cutrite is the one who represents the well-being of the member of staff, the employer, obviously willing to preserve his reputation and the place of work. Indeed, going against the oldest member of the hospital might have put Straight in a highly inconvenient situation. On the contrary, if Straight does not stand out and somehow disobey the surgeon, he will not risk losing his position in any way. Nevertheless, as a medical professional, he has to pay attention to anything that could potentially hurt the patient.

Using the Ethical Decision-Making Model to Analyze the Case Study

Let’s start

To analyze the given situation from the viewpoint of morality, it is essential to refer to the present ethical decision-making model. Initially, it is crucial to recognize the existence of an ethical dilemma and a pathway to establish a need for an ethical decision. E. L. Straight, the person obliged to make a choice, realizes that his future name and reputation depend on his decision. On the contrary, he knows there is a small-scale chance of unhealthy consequences for Mrs. Jameson if the surgeons do not take the needle cover out of the patient’s body. After the moral dilemma goes the moral judgment, which can be influenced by multiple different individual and organizational variables, such as cognitive biases, group pressure, a code of conduct or standards of behavior, et cetera. In the particular case study, the political power of Dr. Cutrite, the reputation of the hospital, the principles of ethical medicine affect E. L. Straight’s judgment. It goes to show how dependent people working in medicine usually are. In addition, the last aspect of the decision-making model is ethical behavior that is based on ideas what is morally good or bad (Legge, 2020). The dilemma in question is supposed to be solved by the students.

Effectiveness of Communication Approaches in the Case Study

In the study, E. L. Straight did not manage to communicate well with the patient due to her leaving the hospital, not knowing about the incident. Such carelessness demonstrates how significant it is for surgeons to build trust with the hospitalized person whose well-being depends on them. The failure in good patient-and-doctor connection is caused by the decreasing quality of Dr. Cutrite’s mental and physical state. However, Straight still has a chance to follow a careful systematic approach to Mrs. Jameson to promote a healthy work environment (American College of Healthcare Executives, 2019). Therefore, the communication between the surgeon Cutrite and Mrs. Jameson was not effective because it is considered unprofessional to hide the real information about the results of performed surgeries from a patient.

Resolving the Ethical Dilemma by Applying Ethical Principles

Considering the aforementioned principles of ethics and the aspects of a decision-making model, it is still rather complicated to balance job requirements and subjective morality for the director E. L. Straight. However, American College of Healthcare Executives the importance of avoiding the improper exploitat

1. Introduction

Inflammation is part of our body's natural defense against pathogens, but chronic inflammation can play a role in almost every major disease. There is growing evidence that chronic inflammation has an important impact on human health, through its impact on various diseases including diabetes, cardiovascular problems, neuropathic issues, and cancer. A concerted effort must be mounted to reduce the global incidence of chronic illness, especially those that can be readily addressed through the implementation of policy and environmental changes; interventions in those who are at risk; and strategies that help people with chronic conditions better manage them. It is not by coincidence that chronic diseases share common behavioral risk factors; these risk factors also happen to contribute to the development of chronic inflammation. That is to say the common denominator is healthy living. From hanging out with people who smoke to excessive consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages, the air we breathe, and our large fortunes, there are a number of factors that put everyday people not just at risk of developing chronic diseases and conditions, but also inflaming their bodies with every breath, every mouthful, every step, every thought, and every laugh.

1. Introduction

As the saying goes, health is wealth. Wealth can be earned through hard work and dedication, but good health is a gift from God. Maintaining a strong, healthy body not only increases this gift - one's longevity - but it also does much to improve their ability to enjoy their life to the fullest. To be truly qualified as being healthy, both the body and the mind must work together, as the health and strength of each is critical to the overall well-being of a person. A physical illness or injury can have a serious detrimental impact on one's mental health, just as numerous levels of stress can lead to chronic or acute health disorders. A sound mind in a sound body means everything. People are inclined to think that their bodies are more important than their minds, or promote beauty and neglect wisdom. That is unhealthy because when the origins of the pains arise from the mind, the soul cannot be at ease. Complete peace of mind is, therefore, essential. Mental peace is the result of balance between heart and head, the will and intellect. Money, if it can afford you a beautiful body, cannot afford you a fair and square mind. You are then not in a position to do what you want to do in order to enjoy body and mind. You are deprived of the joy, a very severe form of deprivation indeed. Then you are truly unhealthy

Prescribing for Older Adults and Pregnant Women From the DSM-V, one of the most common disabling mental disorders among the elderly is generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). It is characterized by persistent and recurrent fear or worry, leading to racing thoughts and feeling hopeless (Andreescu & Lee, 2020). However, through evidence-based practice, several treatment options have been outlined in clinical practice guidelines to help manage this disorder among this vulnerable population. The purpose of this discussion is to illustrate the FDA-approved and non-FDA approved “off-label” medication for GAD among older adults in addition to their associated risks and benefits to the patient. FDA-Approved Medication The FDA recommends the use of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) such as escitalopram, as the first line for the management of GAD among elderly patients. Due to the desirable safety profile and effectiveness in the management of anxiety symptoms among these vulnerable populations, several clinical guidelines such as the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines on GAD and PD also recommend the use of escitalopram

Through effective communication, all the personnel will understand their roles in the workplace and as members of a particular team. Additionally, they will be involved in the decision-making process, which enables them to express their views and opinions freely without any obstacles. An example would be evident in the case where a leader in the healthcare organization emphasizes to its team members the need to improve relationships through proper conservations. When this happens, the teams will enhance an opportunity for improved performance and growth of the organization. Another strategy is appreciation of the aspect of diversity in the organization (Clark et al. 2011). Diversity may consider ethnicity, sexual differences, culture of the care facilities, and religion. By promoting diversity in the By promoting diversity in the workplace, team members coordinate their tasks effectively, identify any gaps that might exist and fix them amicably. The personnel can also spend time and shadow the professionals from other disciplines to enable them understand the experience of patient care from a different perspective. In this way, the practitioners may gain new skills and unique knowledge brought forth by the professionals from other disciplines. As such, it would be easy to see through the lens of others and build trust, which will enlighten and enhance individual understanding of their responsibilities.

The concept is about fostering and promoting civility in the workplace. The assessment shows that the organization promotes civility in its work environment hence depicting how civility and incivility influence organizational performance in different ways.

The results show that there are very few cases of incivility in the nursing workplace, which affects the health of patients but not to a greater extent as most nurses undertake their tasks effectively. Additionally, the few individuals affected by incivility only acknowledge the acts and practices privately and are not free to talk about them to enable the organizational management take relevant measures. The organization has adopted effective strategies that promote the health of both personnel and patients in the workplace hence showing that the gaps that exist in the operational platform are less (Clark et al. 2011).

Executive Summary Sentara Healthcare has observed a rise in turnover rates among its nursing staff, exceeding the national average by 1.5%. This paper aims to investigate the issue of high nurse turnover in our local hospital. According to the United States Office of Personnel Management (2018), each additional percentage point in nursing turnover costs an average hospital approximately $300,000. Preliminary data analysis reveals average turnover rates ranging from 6.6% to 28.7%, with registered nurses experiencing the highest turnover at 16.8%. Moreover, hospitals with 250+ beds witness the highest turnover rates, whereas those with 200 beds or fewer show lower rates.

  Personal Leadership Model Emotional

Intelligence Emotional intelligence refers to the skill of understanding one’s own emotions and those of others. Historically, expressing emotions in the workplace was seen as a distraction and a hindrance to efficiency (Goleman, Boyatzis, & McKee, 2013). However, individuals who fully comprehend and utilize emotional intelligence understand their emotions, their reasoning, and meaning, as well as how they can impact others. In contrast, those who lack this understanding often experience high levels of stress, leading to negative behaviors towards colleagues, such as passive aggression, yelling, and blaming others (Zeider, Matthews, & Roberts, 2012). This can create a working environment where employees feel uneasy and less committed to the organization

The Community Development Block Grant-Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) program is another critical governmental policy designed to address the long-term recovery needs of communities after a disaster. Managed by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), this policy funds state and local governments for infrastructure repair, housing recovery, and economic revitalization. CDBG-DR offers flexibility in tailoring recovery initiatives to the unique needs of affected communities, emphasizing community participation in the planning and implementation processes. By integrating housing, infrastructure, and economic development efforts, CDBG-DR contributes to a comprehensive and sustainable recovery approach, reflecting the federal government’s commitment to aiding communities in their journey toward resilience and restoration.

Policies not only define the boundaries of nursing practice but also serve as essential guides for informed and effective interventions. For instance, a clear understanding of ANA guidelines may inform nursing interventions related to patient advocacy and shared decision-making. Similarly, adherence to CDC protocols is instrumental in guiding nursing interventions aimed at infection prevention and control. In the context of Mr. Johnson’s healthcare, policies can inform and guide interventions that optimize patient outcomes. A comprehensive knowledge of policy frameworks ensures that nursing interventions align with evidence-based practices, legal requirements, and organizational standards (Mehta et al., 2021). By utilizing policies as guiding principles, nurses can implement interventions that are not only clinically effective but also ethically sound, contributing to the overall improvement of patient care and safety.

Best Places to Complete Research within the Workplace Environment

The medical and nursing domain requires wide, extensive, and up-to-date research. It helps the healthcare worker to know about new studies, treatment techniques, and care strategies for pre-and post-natal care. Many printed and digital academic resources can help in this literature review and adoption of knowledge. Some examples of these resources are peer-reviewed articles, seminars, magazines, and healthcare websites. These literature sources can help a healthcare worker to better deal with maternal and neonatal care with the help of evidence. Some digital resources that can provide sufficient information on this subject are Google Scholar, PubMed, and the American Academy of Pediatrics.  These digital platforms provide tons of research articles, expert guidelines, patient experiences, and surveys on maternal and neonatal care. This care can also be ensured through a policy-based approach by the government (Song et al., 2018).

Pakistan is a developing country with 184 million populations; majority of people is living in rural areas, where literacy rate is very low. The burden of Chronic liver disease (CLD) is increasing day by day due to poor compliance to preventive measures. According to Qureshi, Bile, Jooma, Alam and Afridi (2010) the burden of hepatitis B and C is increasing in general population and it is currently 7.6%. High prevalence of hepatitis B and C will result in increased incidence of CLD. Quality of life among CLD patients is very poor and the only option for them is liver transplantation. Unlike liver transplantation renal transplantation started early in 1985, currently facility is available both in public and private hospital across the country. On other hand very few liver transplantation were performed in the country despite the fact that every year 10,000 people die due to CLD (Ali, Qureshi, Jilani, & Zehra 2013). The liver transplant project was initiated in 2011 at Pakistan Institute of Medical sciences under special instruction from prime minister of Pakistan. The purpose of this project was to provide liver transplant facility in the country on affordable cost.Principle of Non-maleficence Violation Essay

Engaging in evidence-based practice (EBP) projects is among the most practical interventions for addressing health problems. Nurses use nursing interventions founded on research to enhance health outcomes. This paper describes the population, intervention, and expected outcome. It also explains the implementation time and the application of aqnursing science, social determinants of health, and epidemiologic, genomic, and genetic data in supporting the health management of children with obesity.

Professional associations are important in every organization and team of workers. In the healthcare institutions, professional organizations seek to further the interest of individuals that are engaged in both the professional and public interest. Also, professional associations are important in enhancing networking between the healthcare professionals through integrating the operational processes and promoting the roles that each individual are to play. A professional association or the professional body or professional society is important in maintaining the control or oversight of the legitimate nursing practices. Also, the body plays significant roles in safeguarding the public interest. The organizations should therefore maintain their own privileges and powerful positions in controlling the professional associations. In the healthcare practices, professional organizations can be applied in enhancing the interest of the workers or healthcare professionals. The professional nursing organization that relates to my specialty area is American Foot Care Nurses Association.

Problem Statement

In recent years, inserting a central line has become routine for outpatient and inpatient settings. Central lines include administering medication, monitoring hemodynamic status, and providing nutritional assistance, among other things (Huybrechts et al., 2021). For the same reasons, patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) need central lines since they are in critical condition. A proper insertion process must be followed because central line insertion is typical for ICU patients. NUR 590 Evidence-Based Practice Project Assignments

Implementation of the project is critical as it involves actualizing the ideas discussed in the project proposal through practice. Implementation is among the various stages of this project to help incorporate an evidence-based project (EBP) inpatient care to enhance the quality of care and cost-effectiveness (Baier et al., 2020).

Evidenced-based Practice Proposal Using the Research Process

Operational efficiency is an objective that healthcare organizations strive to achieve in their service provision. Operational efficiency enhances the performance and competitiveness of health organizations due to resource optimization in service provision. Strategies such as the use of health information technologies, evidence-based practices, and effective human resource management contribute to operational efficiency in healthcare. Safety events such as medication errors in practice however affect the financial performance and efficiency in health organizations. It also affects the financial stability, marketability, and viability of the organization’s operations in its markets. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to explore the effects of medication errors in practice on the budget of an organization and the role of the nurse in the problem.

Fluphenazine is a potent medication employed in the management of schizophrenia. Extensive research has demonstrated its comparable efficacy to low-potency antipsychotics like chlorpromazine (González et al., 2018). Various brand names, including modecate, moditen, and rhophenazine, are used to market this medication. Fluphenazine has obtained FDA approval for the treatment of schizophrenia and addressing related symptoms such as malevolence, delusions, and hallucinations. Limited evidence and both guided and non-guided support exist for the off- label utilization of fluphenazine in children and adult. Classification Fluphenazine is classified as a phenothiazine medication, specifically a neuroleptic. It shares the same drug class as chlorpromazine and thiordazine (Siragusa et al., 2020). Their mechanism of action involves modifying the chemical equilibrium of neurotransmitters within the brain

Law is defined as rules that are sanctioned and implemented by the parliaments, which all the citizens are legally obligated to obey (Montgomery, 2013). The Queen in parliament created and revises the English law that governs the whole of Wales and England, after which it is deliberated on by the House of Commons before being passed for implementation (Surbhi, 2015). However, the common laws, which are laws that serve as a framework from court judgement, are used for similar future cases (Juridique, 2017). Law differentiates between the good and the bad in a society and serves as a norm which guides people’s behaviors (Montgomery, 2013). The nurse has a special role within her code of practice to respect the right of the patient under her care, work co-operatively with other health care professionals and notify with details, anything that can negatively impact on the standard of care that she delivers (Rai, 2011).

Drug administration is an integral part of nursing. Medication errors can be pernicious to a patient’s health. Medicines are prescribed by the doctor and dispensed by the pharmacist but the responsibility of current administration rests with the nurse. Each nurse is responsible for their practice. The result of medication errors varies from mild to deadly. Medication errors have been an ongoing issue in all healthcare settings. Healthcare organizations should ensure and maintain effective measures to prevent medication errors.

Side effects/adverse reaction potentials Some of the side effects of Invega include shortness of breath, dizziness, tremors, uncontrolled movement of muscles, swelling of one’s breasts, discharge from nipples, weight gain, mouth sores, impotence, Polydipsia, polyphagia, fainting and high fever (FernándezMiranda et al., 2021). Contraindications for use including significant drug to drug interactions Administration of Invega is contraindicates in patients with overweight, dehydrated patients, diabetic patients, patients with breast cancer, high levels of prolactin, patients with low amounts of potassium or magnesium present in blood and among individuals with excessive fat in their blood (Fernández-Miranda et al., 2021). It is also contraindicated among patients with heart attack, confusion or with tardive dyskinesia.

Midwives played a significant role in women’s healthcare and childbirth, providing a more compassionate and natural approach than male doctors. As Brodsky notes, the rise of obstetrics led to competition between physicians and midwives. While physicians focused on medical interventions and techniques, midwives, often experienced mothers themselves, offered support, comfort, and personalized care during childbirth. They used natural methods and provided nourishment, emotional support, and spiritual guidance to ensure a safe delivery for both the mother and baby (Brodsky, 2008)

Role of the Nurse in Improving Health Equity and Impacting Social Needs

Nurses can use their position and influence to improve health equity and effectively address people’s multidimensional needs. In agreement with Oruche and Zapolski (2020), nurses can reduce health disparities by being increasingly committed to diversity, inclusion and breaking down barriers to health. In this case, they should ensure health resources are fairly distributed according to people’s diverse needs and that all patients are assisted to achieve their full health potential. The other critical nurse’s role is advocacy, which entails protecting patients’ rights and acting as their voice (Nsiah et al., 2019)

The American healthcare system is faced with the great challenge of inequality which displays a disproportionate impact on marginalized communities, including people of color (Boyd et al., 2020). Such inequalities are the reason behind the gaps in the acquisition of health insurance coverage, leading to uneven access to care services and poor health outcomes among the minority populations. Additionally, studies show that African Americans are significantly impacted by these inequalities contributing to the high prevalence of chronic conditions such as hypertension and diabetes, in addition to the increased mortality rates among this minority population. This discussion provides an analysis of the health status of African Americans, as part of the minority population, in comparison to the national average.

The Use of Nursing Theories Assignment

Scenario 2: A 42-year-old man comes to clinic with chief complaint of pain, redness, and swelling of his right calf. He states that he had been working in his yard using a string trimmer when the trimmer slipped and cut his leg. He cleaned the wound with water from the garden hose and covered the wound with a large Band-Aid. Several days later, he developed fever to 100.6˚ F and chills and noticed that his leg was swollen and red. He comes to the emergency department for definitive care.

The use of nursing theories is critical to patient care because of the different purposes that they serve. Nursing theories assist in informing every interaction between nurses and patients. Through defining the features of the nurse-patient interaction, these theories shape how nurses develop relationships with patients (Wei et al., 2019). The purpose of most nursing theories is to help nurses identify care needs among patients, articulate what they can do for patients and why they do it, and determine the kind of information to collect to develop care plans. Through theories, nurses can comprehend and evaluate health situations, explain and anticipate certain responses from patients and map out objectives and anticipated outcomes (Bahabadi et al., 2020). These theories also help nurses determine the interventions to deliver, best practices, and selection of productive areas for research. The implication is that nursing theories are fundamental to quality care provision as they help nurses to possess background propositions to offer the best care.

Scenario 3: A 34-year-old Hispanic-American male with end-stage renal disease received kidney transplant from a cadaver donor, as no one in his family was a good match. His post-operative course was uneventful, and he was discharged with the antirejection drugs Tacrolimus (Prograf), Cyclosporine (Neoral), and Imuran (Azathioprine). He did well for 3 months and had returned to his job as a policeman. Six months after his transplant, he began to gain weight, had decreased urine output, was very fatigued, and began to run temperatures up to 101˚F. He was evaluated by his nephrologist, who diagnosed acute kidney transplant rejection.

Scenario 4: A 65-year-old obese African American male patient presents to his HCP with crampy left lower quadrant pain, constipation, and fevers to 101˚ F. He has had multiple episodes like this one over the past 15 years and they always responded to bowel rest and oral antibiotics. He has refused to have the recommended colonoscopy even with his history of chronic inflammatory bowel disease (diverticulitis), sedentary lifestyle, and diet lacking in fiber. His paternal grandfather died of colon cancer back in the 1950s as well. He finally underwent colonoscopy after his acute diverticulitis resolved. Colonoscopy revealed multiple polyps that were retrieved, and the pathology was positive for adenocarcinoma of the colon.

In the United States (US), the early adopters, developers, and innovators of technology in nursing practice are referred to as Pioneers of Nursing Informatics. These individuals are the innovators, spear headers, and groundbreakers in the specialty of nursing informatics. This paper seeks to compare two nursing informatics pioneers, Patricia Abbott and Virginia Saba, focusing on their professional accomplishments and how their contributions have influenced nursing practice.

Healthcare facilities aim to deliver high-quality medical services to patients. The demand for high-quality patient services is motivated by adjusting to upcoming organizational structures, healthcare system changes, and available procedures. Recently, there has been an increased focus on delivering high-quality medical treatment, as recognized by the government, medical experts, and patients (Palese et al., 2020). Assessing the probability and frequency of encountering quality issues is crucial to determining the provision of high-quality services. This paper identifies three rate-based measures of patient care.

I was caught between a rock and a hard place, deciding whether to choose a program based on my passion or career prospects, including income rates. As much as I wanted to follow my passion, I had to think if my specialty has a high job demand and the average income nurses in the specialty are paid in my state. Besides, I had a challenge determining the level of autonomy different nursing specialties have in Illinois based on the state’s scope of practice for nurse practitioners.

Many nursing models have come into practice since the early 1950’s (DeNisco & Barker, 2016). May of these theories focus on a patient as a individual and therefore focus their behavioral modifications and goals on an individual’s unique circumstances (DeNisco & Barker, 2016). While this path is incredibly important, it is also pivotal to understand that many of our patients belong to a family unit and this will directly impact their care (DeNisco & Barker, 2016). This discussion will focus on the Calgary family assessment Model and the Modeling and Role Modeling theory.

Nola Pender’s Health Promotion Model This model looks into patient characteristics and behaviors to see how nursing interventions can help the patient adapt, add, or improve healthful habits and practices. Pender defines health as more than just the absence of illness or disease; it is also a dynamic positive state that includes one’s physical, mental, and social well-being (Current Nursing, 2020). Pender’s approach exemplifies how nurses can motivate their patients to live healthy lifestyles, which is a cornerstone of public health and illness prevention.

1. Choose from one of the following topics:

Nursing during an epidemic, pandemic or natural disaster across the country or around the globe

a. Social media influences on health or health care delivery

b. The effect of the media on nursing image. How can nurses educate the public and help portray the true image of nursing?

To be honest, the human species does not have a stellar track record when it comes to ethical medical research. During World War II, Nazi Germany and the German medical establishment were implicated in harsh, cruel, and immoral human research. Following WWII, the Nuremberg trials were pushed to hold people accountable for some of the most horrible acts of “research” carried out in concentration camps (Vaughn, 2017). The Nuremberg Code, which contains 10 points outlining what is considered permissible medical experimentation, is the result of these trials (Vaughn, 2017).

Health staff primarily focuses on delivering safe and quality treatment to patients, reducing their health expenses as well. Among health staff, the nurses are the most centered staff members whose participation can improve the hospital’s quality of treatment delivery. Russ-Jara et al. (2021) briefly discussed the nurse’s care coordination to complete the patient’s healthcare needs and requirements (Russ-Jara et al., 2021). Sharing knowledge among staff members regarding patient care and attaining a patient-centered care strategy help in providing innovative and robust ideas that contribute effectively to patient care. The collaboration ensures patient safety and transition of care and develops strong and influential personalities that lead to positive patient outcomes (Russ-Jara et al., 2021).

Wondmieneh et al. (2020) conducted a prevalence study in tertiary hospitals in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, to investigate errors in medication dispensation and their contributing factors among nurses. The authors utilized a self-administered questionnaire and medication administration error report form to collect data from 298 nurses. The results revealed that medication administration errors were common among the nurses, with the most frequent errors being the incorrect time of dispensation, inappropriate dose, and inadvertence of medication. Contributing factors to these errors included heavy workload, inadequate training, and lack of knowledge about medication. The study concludes that improving the training and knowledge of nurses on medication administration, reducing workload, and promoting a culture of reporting medication errors could help minimize medication administration errors.

This study examines the nature of inoculation theory, a process through which attitude change can be resisted in the face of counterattitudinal communication intended to convert or shift existing attitudes, and how it applies to pack journalism, an unethical media practice where herds of journalists repeatedly and widely cover one particular story and storm the targets (i.e., people, buildings, etc.) with their overwhelming presence. Based on inoculation theory’s theoretical assumptions, and by deriving concepts and designs from previous inoculation studies, the authors urge scholars to implement a viable theoretical and practical platform by which inoculation treatments can be executed on journalists to render maximum attitudinal resistance toward the copycat (and unethical) element of pack journalism coverage.
