Legislation Comparison Grid and Testimony/Advocacy Statement

/in /by

I’m trying to study for my Health & Medical course and I need some help to understand this question.

 

Assignment: Legislation Comparison Grid and Testimony/Advocacy Statement

As a nurse, how often have you thought to yourself, If I had anything to do about it, things would work a little differently? Increasingly, nurses are beginning to realize that they do, in fact, have a role and a voice.

Many nurses encounter daily experiences that motivate them to take on an advocacy role in hopes of impacting policies, laws, or regulations that impact healthcare issues of interest. Of course, doing so means entering the less familiar world of policy and politics. While many nurses do not initially feel prepared to operate in this space effectively, the reward is the opportunity to shape and influence future health policy.

To Prepare:

  • Select a bill that has been proposed (not one that has been enacted) using the congressional websites provided in the Learning Resources.

The Assignment: (1- to 2-page Comparison Grid; 1-page Legislation Testimony/Advocacy Statement)

Part 1: Legislation Comparison Grid

Based on the health-related bill (proposed, not enacted) you selected, complete the Legislation Comparison Grid Template. Be sure to address the following:

  • Determine the legislative intent of the bill you have reviewed.
  • Identify the proponents/opponents of the bill.
  • Identify the target populations addressed by the bill.
  • Where in the process is the bill currently? Is it in hearings or committees?

Part 2: Legislation Testimony/Advocacy Statement

Based on the health-related bill you selected, develop a 1-page Legislation Testimony/Advocacy Statement that addresses the following:

  • Advocate a position for the bill you selected and write testimony in support of your position.
  • Describe how you would address the opponent to your position. Be specific and provide examples.

Using the Reaction Watch database, identify a study that has been retracted in the Nursing discipline recently. Summarize the ethical misconduct – in other words, why the study was retracted. What was the potential harm that the findings could have or resulted in?  Did the author(s) face any consequences?

I don’t know how to handle this Social Science question and need guidance.

 

Watch the video ( available in youtube, video title: Rethinking Research Data | Kristin Briney | TEDxUWMilwaukee ) and,

 

Read the two articles about the ethical issues that can and do arise in research that is publicly shared. The last link is to a website called “Retraction Watch.” This website consists of a searchable database on research in all disciplines that has been retracted due to fraud (fabrication, falsification, and plagiarism), as well as other types of ethical misconduct.

Viewpoint: Why So Many Scientific Studies Are Flawed and Poorly Understood (Links to an external site.)

Retraction Watch (Links to an external site.)

ACTIVITY INSTRUCTIONS

Let’s start this discussion with your opinion. If publishing research results is a form of advertising, as mentioned in the video, does the responsibility of researchers end once they have published their findings?

I’m working on a Health & Medical exercise and need support.

 

Create a presentation (maximum of 20 slides with detailed speaker notes) for senior leadership in which four organizational leaders analyze the impact of a health care organization’s new safety and quality dashboard. Include an analysis of what the new metrics mean and how they will inform departmental activities for the next quarter.”Being in a position of leadership is the most important job of any health professional anywhere along the continuum of care” (Ledlow & Coppola, 2013, p. 3). Leaders and ultimately the boards of directors of health care organizations are accountable for the safety of those they serve.” National quality organizations and regulatory bodies … are growing in their emphasis on leadership accountabilities for safe, reliable care as well as excellence in the experience of care” (Youngberg, 2013, p. 39).With this emphasis on leadership accountability for the delivery of safe, high-quality health care services, health care leaders need to be able to drill down on what exactly safety and quality mean in the health care environment. Likewise, they also need to be able to design measures that help to ensure their organizations are able to deliver those kinds of outcomes. Read Measurement Perspectives [PDF] to examine key elements related to this issue.In this final course assessment, you will have a unique opportunity to examine a health care organization’s safety and quality dashboard from the perspective of four organizational leaders. You will explore each leader’s specific interests regarding patient safety and quality. In particular, you will have the opportunity to perform a more in-depth analysis of the dashboard, the type of analysis a quality director might perform to further the organization’s safety and quality objectives.

    PREPARATION

    To help prepare for successfully completing this assessment:

    INSTRUCTIONS

    Your organization has just updated its safety and quality dashboard. Please review the Vila Health Mercy Hospital Safety and Quality Dashboard [PDF]. Note: You do not need to create a dashboard for this assessment. You are simply being asked to work with the one provided.The CEO has asked each of the organizational leaders below to prepare a joint PowerPoint presentation. In it, they are to prepare a set of slides outlining their analysis of how the new numbers will inform their particular activities for the next quarter. The organizational leaders include:

    • The quality director.
    • The patient safety officer.
    • The risk manager.
    • Senior leadership.

    Because of the quality director’s critical role in implementing the organization’s safety and quality strategic objectives, this individual will open the presentation and provide additional background about how the new dashboard was developed. This individual will also close the presentation. Use the following outline to organize your presentation. Be sure to include the introduction and conclusion and address all the questions listed under these headings. Also be sure to address each role and the corresponding questions.

    Introduction (3–4 slides)
    • What is a safety and quality dashboard?
    • What role do safety and quality dashboards play in helping health care organizations drive their strategic safety and quality objectives?
    • How do health care organization determine what they want to measure? Be sure to consider:
      • Pressures from regulators, payors, and the industry.
      • Self-identified improvement areas. For example, one organization’s safety and quality dashboard may highlight patient falls because its rate of falls is higher than the national average. This may also have resulted in increased costs to the organization.
    • What CQI tools did the organization use to obtain, measure, and report data?
    • What was the quality improvement team’s role in addressing the reported measures?
    Quality Director (2–3 slides)
    • Which metric on the dashboard would draw the quality director’s attention the most?
    • What does this dashboard metric mean and why is it important?
    • What three recommendations to leadership would help to address this metric?
    • What (if any) quality models could be used to increase the quality of patient care and outcomes for this metric? Consider PDCA, Six Sigma, Lean, Hoshin Kanri planning, et cetera.
    Patient Safety Officer (2–3 slides)
    • Which metric on the dashboard would draw the patient safety officer’s attention the most?
    • What does this dashboard metric mean and why is it important?
    • What role does the patient safety officer play in improving this metric?
    Risk Manager (2–3 slides)
    • Which metric on the dashboard would draw the risk manager’s attention the most?
    • What does this dashboard metric mean and why is it important?
    • What role does the risk manager play in improving this metric?
    Senior Leader (1 slide)
    • What is the role of senior leadership (for example, CEO, COO, president, senior VP) in driving safety and quality improvement initiatives?
    • What next steps might senior leadership take given the dashboard findings and the quality director’s three improvement recommendations?
    Conclusion (2–3 slides)
    • Which regulatory agency(ies) may be concerned about the findings in this dashboard?
    • Why would regulators be concerned about these findings?
    • Why are safety and quality dashboards important for monitoring key metrics in health care organizations?

    Your slides need to be concise and offer main ideas in bulleted format. Use the speaker notes to expand upon your findings as if they were the transcript of your presentation for the leadership team.In the health care environment, it is unlikely for a presentation and speaker notes to be in APA style. Do make sure they are concise, organized, clear, and free of errors in grammar, punctuation, and spelling. Do make sure they address all the required headings and all of the questions under each heading.Your senior leaders will want to know the sources of your information.

I’m studying for my Health & Medical class and don’t understand how to answer this. Can you help me study?

 

Prepare an issue analysis of an incident that occurred in a health care organization and create a leadership action plan (8-10 pages) that will help to address the specific incident but will also help to drive safety and quality improvements throughout the organization.

In this third assessment in the course, you will assume the role of a newly promoted quality manager at your local hospital. This role requires you to address deficiencies by improving organizational culture, providing leadership oversight, and cultivating staff relationships within the organization. While you have many priorities in this new role, one of your first is to analyze a recent incident that occurred within the organization and to create a leadership action plan with recommended strategies and tactics to address not just the specific incident, but to drive safety and quality improvement throughout the organization.

This assessment differs from the first assessment in that with this assessment, as the quality manager, your focus is broader. Rather than focusing only on identifying specific actions the organization can take to remedy a particular incident that occurred, you are concentrating on what steps you will take as the quality manager to influence the organization’s leadership to cultivate a fair and just culture. You will determine what departments, what leaders, and what personnel you will collaborate with to improve quality for the whole organization. In this type of culture, safety is at the forefront of everyone’s job and all associates welcome the opportunity to highlight issues—without fear of reprisal—so that they can be addressed at a systemic level throughout the organization.

You may find it useful to review the short document CQI Importance and Features [PDF] as you gather your thoughts about the key elements you want to include in your assessment, Issue Analysis and Leadership Action Plan.

DEMONSTRATION OF PROFICIENCY

By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the course competencies through the following assessment scoring guide criteria:

  • Competency 4: Apply leadership strategies to quality improvement in a health care organization.
    • Apply the IHI Triple Aim to develop a health care leadership strategy that focuses on optimizing health care system performance.
    • Propose evidence-based leadership strategies that will help to establish a safety and quality culture.
    • Propose evidence-based leadership and collaboration strategies to enlist the aid of key organizational leaders in establishing a safety and quality culture.
    • Determine opportunities to enlist the governing board’s aid in fostering a fair and just culture.
  • Competency 5: Communicate in a manner that is scholarly, professional, and respectful of the diversity, dignity, and integrity of others and is consistent with health care professionals.
    • Write a clear, organized, persuasive, and generally error-free issue analysis and leadership action plan that promotes a culture of safety and quality and is reflective of professional communication in the health care field.
    • Provide citations and title and reference pages that conform to APA style and format.

PREPARATION

To help prepare for successfully completing this assessment:

Remember that health care is an evidence-based field. You will need to cite a minimum of two credible references to support your analysis and action planning process.

In addition, in the health care field, your analysis and action plan would not typically be written in APA format. Do ensure that it is clear, persuasive, concise, organized, and without errors in grammar, punctuation, and spelling. Do provide citations and title and reference pages in APA format. Other leaders in your organization are going to want to know what sources you relied on to prepare your analysis and action plan.

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS

  • Length: Your incident analysis and leadership action plan will be 8–10 double-spaced pages, not including title and reference pages.
  • Font: Times New Roman, 12-point.
  • APA Format: Your citations and title and reference pages need to be in APA format. The body of your analysis does not need to be written in APA format. It does need to be well written, include the headings specified in the instructions, and address the questions listed under each heading.

I’m working on a Health & Medical exercise and need support.

 

Assignment (Due by Sept 26 at 1159 PM EST)

Please write a 1-2 page reflection after watching each video clip stating your initial diagnosis with differentials using only what the clip provides. Sometimes in practice we do not have all of the preferred information available and need to proceed with what we have available. List any symptoms that helped you to focus towards your diagnosis and why using the DSM 5. Clearly state what your diagnosis is. Then go ahead and list the differential diagnosis they are considering and give the rationale as to why they are considering those.

Importance of The Health Inpatient Occupancy Paper

/in /by

I don’t understand this Health & Medical question and need help to study.

Understanding statistics for length of stay, bed turnover, occupancy ratio, etc. are important aspects of ensuring a functional, and profitable hospital that is able to serve patients optimally. Thankfully, there is software to compute this data, and even perform a certain degree of analysis. Even with this technology, however, it is important for health care managers to understand what is being calculated, why it is relevant, and how to use it.

Evaluation Title: Conclusions from Data

Assume the role of an operations manager at a small hospital.
Create a fictional data set.
Calculate the inpatient occupancy ratio based on your data. Show your work.
Explain why it is important for a health care manager to know the inpatient occupancy rate, and how that data can be used to make both clinical and business decisions.
Incorporate a minimum of two scholarly sources to support your explanation.
As an operations manager, you are often required to present data related to efficiency and profitability to the hospital’s Board of Directors. What data is important to highlight, and why?
Your completed assignment should be approximately 2 pages in length and should utilize at least two outside resources.
