 When selecting a psychotherapeutic approach for a client, you must consider the unique needs and characteristics of that particular client. The same is true when selecting a psychotherapeutic approach for groups. Not every approach is appropriate for every group, and the group’s unique needs and characteristics must be considered. For this Assignment, you examine psychotherapeutic approaches to group therapy for addiction. 

The Assignment

In a 2- to 3-page paper, address the following:

• Identify the psychotherapeutic approach that the group facilitator is using and explain why she might be using this approach.
• Determine whether or not you would use the same psychotherapeutic approach if you were the counselor facilitating this group and justify your decision.
• Identify an alternative approach to group therapy for addiction and explain why it is an appropriate option.
• Support your position with evidence-based literature.

HA3300D – Healthcare Policy and Ethics

   Assignment 04: Patient Care Partnership

 Directions

In the past two Learning Plans you’ve studied various codes that can govern the behavior of healthcare administrators, including the ACHE Code of Ethics, the Patient Care Partnership, and the ethical theorists you encountered in Week 1. In this assignment, you’ll apply the codes and theories you’ve learned about to the following healthcare management dilemma.

You are the healthcare manager in a university medical center. After an inspection, JCAHO, your accreditor, notes that patient satisfaction surveys give you a low rating. Although your hospital has a great track record for disease detection, treatment, and monitoring, patients routinely rate their experience at and satisfaction with the hospital as low.

In follow-up interviews with patients, JCAHO discovers that patients felt they and their families were not well-informed about upcoming procedures and options. They had a general feeling of uncertainty about their care and treatment. One former patient stated, “The doctor spent more time talking with the medical residents and student nurses than with me!”

Answer each of the following questions in a paragraph of 5-7 sentences (for a total of 4 paragraphs):

1.Which ethical principles would you apply to this scenario? Which ethical theorists would you use to guide you? Refer to your textbook, putting all direct citations in quotes.

2.Which parts of the AHA’s Patient Care Partnership document would you apply to this scenario? Refer to specific parts of the document, putting all direct citations in quotes.

3.Which parts of the ACHE Code of Ethics would you apply to this scenario? Refer to specific parts of the document, putting all direct citations in quotes.

4.Describe an “action plan” to present to the accrediting body (JCAHO) to convince them you’re serious about improving your patient satisfaction scores.

Include an APA-style reference list below your paragraphs, and be sure to use proper grammar, spelling, and punctuation.

The Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs) is very critical to the organizations of healthcare and delivery systems. The regulations of the nursing board and the practice scope vary in different states. The practices could be independent, restricted, or reduced practices.

In the Philadelphia state, one could have an independent practice in any area related to the Advanced Practice Registered Nurses education and authorization concerning the population. The Philadelphia state regulations and choice of practice necessitate a combined accord with the doctors. This should be the case unless the Nursing Practitioner has some unique authorization from the board. So, the APRN’s can take part in the medical practices, therapeutic prescription and are not subject to any agreement and can work in any healthcare facility or doctors’ team (Woo et al., 2017).

In the New York state, some laws are set with guidelines or regulations and a scope of practice that necessitates the APRNs to practice with a qualified physician to work with the nursing practitioner’s field of practice and a written agreement and practice protocols. The new and qualified NP’s should also have a written combined accord and practice, which must work with physicians whose primary work is to diagnose disease and the patients’ physical conditions and offer treatment and corrective methods in their field of practice. The law of education in the New York state does not necessitate a doctor to oversee a nursing practitioner or to sign any of their order, charts, or accounts. The state of New York hold’s the Nursing Practitioners accountable for any medical procedure they get to perform on the patients (Altman et al., 2016).

The exploitation of nurses in their advanced practice to enhance the access of patients to emergency care is exciting and advantageous. The implementation of the Nursing practitioner’s role in a health care facility tends to enhance the outcomes of a patient (Woo et al., 2017). Also, the alteration of the delivery of health
