Draft a proposal of 4–5 pages for the development of an interprofessional team to address a problem in delivering safe, high-quality health care. Read each portion of the assessment carefully and see if the suggested resources can help you complete it. Effective interprofessional collaboration is an essential strategy for health care leaders in delivering safe, high-quality health care and reducing costs. The ability to establish effective professional relationships among internal and external resources is the foundation of collaboration (Lawson, 2004). This assessment provides an opportunity to consider the practical value and implementation of a collaborative strategy in your professional practice or area of interest. By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria: Competency 1: Explain the concepts, principles, and characteristics of effective health care leadership. Analyze the factors contributing to a problematic health care issue. Competency 2: Explain the role of health care leaders in facilitating interprofessional collaboration. Explain the need for interprofessional collaboration to improve the quality and safety of health care in specific instances. Assess the effectiveness of a particular leadership approach in building and maintaining interprofessional collaborative relationships. Develop a collaborative plan for improving the quality and safety of health care in specific instances. Determine the leader’s role in implementing collaborative health care improvement projects. Competency 4: Determine the influence of the practitioner-scholar role on professional practice and leadership development. Determine how the practitioner-scholar model might be applied in resolving a particular health care issue. Competency 5: Communicate effectively with diverse audiences, in an appropriate form and style, consistent with applicable organizational, professional, and scholarly standards. Develop a strategy for communicating the progress of interprofessional teams to organizational leaders. Write coherently to support a central idea, using correct grammar, mechanics, and APA formatting. Reference Lawson, H. (2004). The logic of collaboration in education and the human services. Journal of Interprofessional Care, 18(3), 225–237. Preparation Health care leaders often find that resolving a problem in delivering safe, high-quality health care requires the combined effort of a number of agencies, departments, and individuals. For this assessment, identify a quality-related situation or problem relevant to your professional practice or area of interest that requires the collaborative effort of several departments and individuals to resolve. You will assume the role of team leader and draft a proposal for the organization’s executive leadership that outlines why this interprofessional team is necessary, who should take part in the collaboration, how the team will function, and how progress will be reported. A project proposal should identify the situation or problem, identify the causes or contributing factors, present a plan of action, provide details about the plan, and provide reasons why the plan should be undertaken. Note: Remember, you can submit all or a portion of your draft to Smarthinking for feedback before you submit the final version of your proposal for this assessment. However, be mindful of the turnaround time for receiving feedback if you plan on using this free service.

The desegregation of hospitals in Chicago

/0 Comments/in /by

Most of you do not know the history of Medicare or Medicaid, or even what these programs actually are. That’s because we don’t talk about them much, except when politicians rant about them being “entitlements.” The reality is that these are programs that were created to provide healthcare to those who cannot afford it and to the elderly. Everyone working in the US pays into these programs. They are not government handouts. Neither program is perfect — far from it. But it’s important that we understand them so that we can make informed choices when we’re voting, as these programs are always a topic of conflict and debate. A lot of conflict surrounds these programs and there are lots of myths about them. The Power to Heal is not going to teach all the intricate details. Rather, you will learn how Black physicians fought during the Civil Rights Movement, and before, to bring healthcare to the most needy in our nation. You will be shocked by much of what you read. For your first post, read the Preface, Chapter 1, and Chapter 2. Then pick a section from those chapters and write about it. First, identify where in the book you’re referring to, including page numbers. Describe the issue or event that you’re reading about. Then, talk about your reaction to it. It’s likely that your reaction will include many questions. Include those in your post. Write about your feelings as you read. For example, you might decide to write about the desegregation of hospitals in Chicago. (Yes, Chicago. Racism and segregation have never been confined to the South!) What about this surprises you? As you read about the people involved, you might want to write about a certain person. You could look for more information on that person through some library research. What specific problems were being addressed? Was there a resolution? What makes you the most angry about a passage? Or the saddest? Or the most hopeful?

Health Issues for the Aging

/0 Comments/in /by

As of 2014 health care expenditures in the United States are near 17% of our gross domestic product (GDP), with a major portion of Medicare funding goes towards chronic illness and care at the last 6 months of life. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act has made some initial legislative changes in our health system, but not sufficient to address our growing expenditures and caring for our large aging population.

In this assignment, learners will synthesize issues in aging with health policy solutions by writing a paper on one health issue for older individuals addressed in the topic and offering a policy solution. Example of issue: In 2014, over 50% of the costs of institutional long-term care for older persons are paid for with public funds from Medicaid. Write a 1,000-1,250 word paper that addresses a health issue for older individuals. Include the following: – Evaluate what the literature suggests as a resolution to your chosen issue.

– Discuss any attempts to incorporate the solution into public policy. – Determine the barriers to the implementation of the solution. – Analyze the options being discussed for public and/or private funding. – Propose your own recommendation. You are required to complete your assignment using real-world application. Real-world application requires the use of evidence-based data, contemporary theories, and concepts presented in the course. The culmination of your assignment must present a viable application in a current practice setting. *Use references within the past 5 years. *Include in-text citation in introduction and conclusion.

Research public health issues on the “Climate Change” or “Topics and Issues” pages of the American Public Health Association (APHA) website. Investigate a public health issue related to an environmental issue within the U.S. health care delivery system and examine its effect on a specific population.

Describe the policy health issue. Include the following information: (a) what population is affected, (b) at what level does it occur (local, state, or national), and (c) evidence about the issues supported by resources. 2. Create a problem statement. 3. Provide suggestions for addressing the health issue caused by the current policy. Describe what steps are required to initiate policy change. Include necessary stakeholders (government officials, administrator) and budget or funding considerations, if applicable. 4. Discuss the impact on the health care delivery system. Include three peer-reviewed sources and two other sources to support the policy brief.

Instructions PICOT QUESTIONS: In group of adult diabetic patients how does diet and exercise compare with diabetic medication therapy improving glycemic control an quality of life within three months period. This is Part 2 of your topic development – the Literature Review for the research question you identified in Week 1. This assignment requires proper APA format.
