1.  Reflect back over the past 14 weeks and describe how your achievements in this course have prepared you to meet the MSN program outcomes.

Peer answer: 

The MSN program requires me to demonstrate my ability to use current knowledge from nursing theory, science, and related disciplines to initiate change in nursing practice. Over the past fourteen weeks, Several things have stood out for me. Primarily, I understand that nursing practice is patient-centered, and all care innovations should value human dignity. I am expected to provide exemplary patient care in accordance with the nursing practice guideline and ethical considerations.

Secondly, technology is essential in healthcare provision. I will need to integrate technology into my practice to ensure quality care. Health Information Technology (HIT) has provided a breakthrough in healthcare institutions’ operations, diagnosis, research, and treatment of patients. I am expected to equip myself with knowledge of current technological trends to find new ways of building on my practice. Furthermore, I can leverage technology to foster collaborations with my other healthcare practitioners through information sharing to develop more comprehensive solutions to care challenges in the sector.

Lastly, as much as patient care is the primary factor of the profession, I desire to see the value for my services as a nurse practitioner. There is no motivation in seeing too many patients in a day without a financial translation. Upon graduation, my qualification level is worthy of a better rate card, but above all, I look forward to venturing into private practice.

 After reading through the article provided at the time of this reflection, two things stood out. One, I need to understand my case mix in calculating my financials. I need to know, from the number of patients seen in a day, what is their source of payment and the reimbursement rates for those insured. Two, I should be able to manage my overhead costs. A steady cash inflow is encouraging, but there may be nothing left to keep the practice going if the outflows are not in check. The overhead costs will inform the decision on the number of assistants to hire.

Program/policy evaluation is a valuable tool that can help strengthen the quality of programs/policies and improve outcomes for the populations they serve. Program/policy evaluation answers basic questions about program/policy effectiveness. It involves collecting and analyzing information about program/policy activities, characteristics, and outcomes. This information can be used to ultimately improve program services or policy initiatives.

Nurses can play a very important role assessing program/policy evaluation for the same reasons that they can be so important to program/policy design. Nurses bring expertise and patient advocacy that can add significant insight and impact. In this Assignment, you will practice applying this expertise and insight by selecting an existing healthcare program or policy evaluation and reflecting on the criteria used to measure the effectiveness of the program/policy.

To Prepare:

• Review the Healthcare Program/Policy Evaluation Analysis Template provided in the Resources.
• Select an existing healthcare program or policy evaluation or choose one of interest to you.
• Review community, state, or federal policy evaluation and reflect on the criteria used to measure the effectiveness of the program or policy described.

The Assignment: (2–3 pages)

Based on the program or policy evaluation you selected, complete the Healthcare Program/Policy Evaluation Analysis Template. Be sure to address the following:

• Describe the healthcare program or policy outcomes.
• How was the success of the program or policy measured?
• How many people were reached by the program or policy selected?
• How much of an impact was realized with the program or policy selected?
• At what point in program implementation was the program or policy evaluation conducted?
• What data was used to conduct the program or policy evaluation?
• What specific information on unintended consequences was identified?
• What stakeholders were identified in the evaluation of the program or policy? Who would benefit most from the results and reporting of the program or policy evaluation? Be specific and provide examples.
• Did the program or policy meet the original intent and objectives? Why or why not?
• Would you recommend implementing this program or policy in your place of work? Why or why not?
• Identify at least two ways that you, as a nurse advocate, could become involved in evaluating a program or policy after 1 year of implementation.

By Day 7 of Week 10

Submit your completed healthcare program/policy evaluation analysis.
