 HA3300D – Healthcare Policy and Ethics

Discussion 04: Ethics in the Era of ACA

Chapter 5 of your textbook discussed how the ACA, or Affordable Care Act, is changing the business of health care, as well as the ethical issues raised by the Act (also known as “Obamacare”).

Get more background on the ACA’s effect on individuals by viewing “Affordable Care Act Goes into Effect” and “Obamacare in 2014: A Tale of Two States,” both from NBC Learn.

INITIAL POST

Now, imagine that you are a healthcare administrator who must explain the pros and cons of the ACA to your hospital’s Board of Trustees. Respond to the following questions in your post:

• Are there existing ethical dilemmas in the healthcare field that the ACA solves? What are they?
• What new ethical conflicts might your hospital face as a result of the ACA?
• Which ethical theorists have the most to say about the ACA?

Your initial post should be 8 – 10 sentences in length and include an APA-style references list.

Respond to your classmate’s post from the perspective of an individual patient. Does the ACA raise ethical dilemmas for you, the individual patient, that it does not raise for hospital administrators? What would you like healthcare administrators to know about the ACA as it relates to ethics?

Each of your responses should be 4 – 6 sentences, and refer to the textbook or other course material.

Please no plagiarism and i want quality work on this. 

Realtors rely on detailed property appraisals—conducted using appraisal tools—to assign market values to houses and other properties. These values are then presented to buyers and sellers to set prices and initiate offers.

Research appraisal is not that different. The critical appraisal process utilizes formal appraisal tools to assess the results of research to determine value to the context at hand. Evidence-based practitioners often present these findings to make the case for specific courses of action.

In this Assignment, you will use an appraisal tool to conduct a critical appraisal of published research. You will then present the results of your efforts.

To Prepare:

• Reflect on the four peer-reviewed articles you selected in Module 2 and the four systematic reviews (or other filtered high- level evidence) you selected in Module 3.
• Reflect on the four peer-reviewed articles you selected in Module 2 and analyzed in Module 3.
• Review and download the Critical Appraisal Tool Worksheet Template provided in the Resources.

The Assignment (Evidence-Based Project)

Part 4A: Critical Appraisal of Research

Conduct a critical appraisal of the four peer-reviewed articles you selected by completing the Evaluation Table within the Critical Appraisal Tool Worksheet Template. Choose a total of four peer-reviewed articles that you selected related to your clinical topic of interest in Module 2 and Module 3.

Note: You can choose any combination of articles from Modules 2 and 3 for your Critical Appraisal. For example, you may choose two unfiltered research articles from Module 2 and two filtered research articles (systematic reviews) from Module 3 or one article from Module 2 and three articles from Module 3. You can choose any combination of articles from the prior Module Assignments as long as both modules and types of studies are represented.

Part 4B: Critical Appraisal of Research

Based on your appraisal, in a 1-2-page critical appraisal, suggest a best practice that emerges from the research you reviewed. Briefly explain the best practice, justifying your proposal with APA citations of the research.

 Submit Part 4A and 4B of your Evidence-Based Project.

There are many factors that will continue to impact community and population health.

1. Consider the past achievements in public health as many have implications around the globe.
2. Describe a global health concern that has impacted your community or those you care for.
3. Discuss what surveillance data could be pulled from an electronic health record (EHR) you have used or currently use in your nursing practice.
4. Take a moment to review the Twitter feed for compelling Tweets that are related to informatics, global health, and population health outcomes.
5. Share an overview the Tweet and how it is likely to impact future collaborative trends in community health.
6. Compose a 280-character or fewer Tweet that describes what you would like to see as a Tweet in the next decade related to public health achievements. Please try to be realistic, but also be visionary. Remember Twitter only allows 280 characters (this includes spaces, etc.) so you will need to be concise. It should include a hashtag. Include a reference URL if applicable. Share this Tweet in the discussion. (Note: A Twitter account is not required nor share your Tweet on social media). 
7. Your discussion post should look like:
   • Paragraph one: Describe a global health concern that has impacted your community or those you care for
   • Paragraph two: Discuss what surveillance data could be pulled from an electronic health record (EHR) you have used or currently use in your nursing practice.
   • Paragraph three: Share information from a Tweet and how it is likely to impact future collaborative trends in community health.
   • Paragraph four: Compose a 280-character Tweet that describes what you would like to see as a Tweet in the next decade related to public health achievements.
   • Resources: Where did you find your data?

     MAIN POSTING 6050

     Evaluation is an invaluable component of all policy programs.  It provides data, commentary, and critical evidence for ongoing improvement, enhancement, and effectiveness of programs. It helps policymakers, administrators, clinicians, financial stakeholders, and the public understand what works and what needs to change to improve the health and well-being of individuals and communities (Milstead & Short, 2019).

     There are some opportunities that exists for RN and APRNs to actively participate in policy review.  One of such opportunity is by joining a professional organization, these organizations often have lobbyists that bring nursing issues to Capitol Hill.  An example of such an organization is the American Nurses Association (ANA) which helps the RNs and the APRNs to understand how they can engage in policy review.  Nurses can participate in policy review on local, state, and federal levels (American Nurses Association, 2020).

     Another opportunity for RNs and APRNs to participate in policy review is through the workplace. The nurses are professionals who have the responsibility and capacity to influence the existing healthcare delivery programs.  A major role of the RNs and APRNs is to promote quality health and this can be achieved by participating in policy review.  Nonetheless, these opportunities have their challenges.  Some nurses do not want to belong to professional organizations due to financial obligations and time constraints.  In the workplace, nurses are not even aware of the policies that need to be reviewed.

     Strategies to better advocate for or communicate the existence of these opportunities to participate in policy review is to create awareness of the benefits of professional organizations to nurses. Nursing schools need to include healthcare policy education as part of their curriculum as well as encourage some form of political involvement.  Employers need to provide nurses with the time and resources to help them participate in policy review.  According to Laureate Education (2018), policy evaluation helps us to know if we are achieving our goals, if we are off the mark, and how we can improve.

I need help with few microbiology quiz questions.  Please . Same questions of 4 each. Different ways of answering.  Two separate papers

2. What are the differences between pediatric vs. adult trauma? Consider aspects such as physiology, communication, legal issues, age, and types of injuries. 

3. Identify at least 3 interdisciplinary team members that may be involved in a pediatric trauma beginning with the onset of injury to home care. 

4. What assessments/diagnostic imaging should be considered/performed? 

5. What is  acute compartment syndrome?

6. Describe the 5 “P’s” of compartment syndrome and how the relate to the pediatric patient.

7. Why is early detection of compartment syndrome important?

8. What else could cause symptoms similar to compartment syndrome?

9. How is acute compartment syndrome treated and what does this mean for the patient?

10. Why can identifying compartment syndrome in children be particularly difficult?

  • Scenario
    Imagine that Lynette follows up with you in an e-mail shortly after reading your views on leadership and collaboration:
    Hi,
    Thanks for sending me your thoughts last week on the diversity issue at the clinic. Your next step is to select a team of professionals who can help you in this project and prepare an introduction of the project for a first meeting with them.
    I want you to prepare a presentation to serve as a brief, but substantive introduction for the first meeting with a group of 4–5 members who will participate on the committee tasked with addressing the diversity issue. Once I review more information about the proposed team I can help you with the recruitment. The presentation should be 5–7 minutes and use 6–8 slides with detailed speaker’s notes so I can understand your approach. Not a lot of time or space, so keep things pretty high level. Do the following:
  1. Briefly outline the project goals and highlight 2–3 of the initial priorities to be addressed by the group. Also, explain why they are important.
  2. Explain the composition of the team and why you chose them. Note that you will not know the exact individuals yet, but assume we will recruit the people with the desired qualities and characteristics that you outline in the presentation. Consider the following:
     • Include a group of professionals you believe can help define the problem and ultimately make recommendations on how to address it.
     • Make sure each member is either trained in, sensitive to, or has experience with the concept of workplace diversity.
     • Give some thought to having some members from outside the organization.
     • Provide member profiles: their diversity, qualifications, experience, internal versus external, and so forth.
  3. Explain your role and describe how the committee will work together and achieve effective interprofessional collaboration.
     • Describe how the group will communicate. How and when they will meet.
     • Describe how ideas will be shared and decisions made.
     • Describe roles, group function, and structure.
  4. Describe the basic characteristics of a diverse workplace.
  5. Provide a convincing argument regarding the benefits of a diverse workforce using support from current research.
  6. Thanks,
     Lynette
