If you were to ask 10 people what they believe to be the most significant issue facing healthcare today, you might get 10 different answers. Escalating costs? Regulation? Technology disruption?

These and many other topics are worthy of discussion. Not surprisingly, much has been said in the research, within the profession, and in the news about these topics. Whether they are issues of finance, quality, workload, or outcomes, there is no shortage of changes to be addressed.

In this Discussion, you examine a national healthcare issue and consider how that issue may impact your work setting. You also analyze how your organization has responded to this issue.

To Prepare:

Review the Resources and select one current national healthcare issue/stressor to focus on.

Reflect on the current national healthcare issue/stressor you selected and think about how this issue/stressor may be addressed in your work setting.

By Day 3 of Week 1

Post a description of the national healthcare issue/stressor you selected for analysis, and explain how the healthcare issue/stressor may impact your work setting. Then, describe how your health system work setting has responded to the healthcare issue/stressor, including a description of what changes may have been implemented. Be specific and provide examples.

Infant, childhood, and adolescent development are a continual interplay between nature (genetic or biologic predisposition) and nurture (environmental experiences). The nature/nurture continuum and debate will always be a part of your career as a PMHNP.  Knowing common developmental milestone is important in the role as a child provider. Not only is it essential to the diagnostic process, but it is also important to the interdisciplinary interactions with other mental health professionals. The study of normal developmental processes, however, is only one tool that allows the mental health professional to understand the child being evaluated. There are many different assessment instruments and interviewing techniques that PMHNPs can have in their toolkit when working with children and adolescents.

In this Discussion, you examine the differences in assessing and treating children and adolescents versus adults. You take into consideration your own clinical experiences, as well as your experiences in your clinical rotation, and the information from the readings thus far.

Assignment:

Post your answers to the following:

• Explain why a developmental assessment of children and adolescents is important.
• Describe two assessment instruments and explain why they are used for children and adolescents but not adults. 
• Describe two treatment options for children and adolescents that may not be used when treating adults.
• Explain the role parents play in assessment and treatment.

According to the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials (ASTHO), the four core components of knowledge management are:

• Governance: The leadership that commits to an organizational structure that is capable of managing the knowledge.
• Content: The quantity and quality of the data and information that is managed.
• Processes: The standards and guidelines that will be used to collect, manage, and disseminate information.
• Technology: The system supporting the other three components.

Tasks:

• Identify and describe the stakeholders involved in collecting and stakeholders involved with contributing to data collection in the Personal Health Record systems and other consumer informatics tools such as smartphone applications.

This week’s PowerPoint lecture is about motivation.  As you can see, there are many perspectives on what constitutes motivation and how to engage it. 

Most likely you can imagine many examples of motivating.  If you watched any of the multiple big sports championships over these past weeks, you saw the coaches preparing their teams.  High stakes in the sports world and for host city, team, and fan (i.e. those who pay the salaries) pride.  Yet, in some ways this is easier than the task you face as a healthcare administrator.  Sports teams have a shared goal (no pun intended), a common language and lexicon, and finite circumstances. 

In healthcare, the team is comprised of multiple constituencies, some of which are organizationally separate (e.g., typically the hospital and medical staffs are two independent entities).  As has been discussed this past week, patients come from many backgrounds, with diverse beliefs and myriad expectations.  Navigating that environment take a different set of skills.
