Please ensure the Assignment Attachment Form (file is on Moodle week 3) is the FIRST page of your assignment. All assignments will be submitted on Moodle. A Literature Review is a review of the literature directly related to the topic or problem of interest, followed by an explanation of how your research question grows out of that review, that is, showing how you identify your own research focus in term of a “gap” in previous research.

The purpose of the literature review is to know what others have discovered, to ground your study idea in a particular context of what is known about a subject in order to establish a foundation for the topic (or question) being researched.

The purpose of this assignment is to facilitate your abilities to research a topic of study so you can learn to:

(1) identify and formulate an inquiry question that defines what you’d like to learn,

(2) know how to search and locate literature using library and internet resources;

(3) analyze information found in scholarly journal articles,

(4) synthesize new knowledge into a written literature review and

(5) establish context for your inquiries.

Assignment Description: For this assignment, you are asked to complete a literature review on a health topic of your choice.

You are asked to locate at least 10 peer reviewed journal articles on your topic and write a 5-6 page (double spaced with charts and diagrams included) literature review on the articles you have selected. Steps to complete your literature review:

1. Choose a topic that you are interested in studying

2. Formulate an inquiry question that specifically describes what you would like to know about your topic

3. Go to the library (or e-resources via www.library.yorku.ca) to search for and locate journals that include your topic’s information (refer to lectures from weeks 3 and 4 as well as your first year).

4. Find articles, read the abstracts and skim the articles to determine if they correspond well to your topic AND inquiry question.

5. Select at least 10 journal articles.

6. Read your articles and begin to sort and classify them according to their findings

What must you check before releasing the patient records

/0 Comments/in , /by

Case Study: A member of the hospital’s medical staff has been accused of improperly billing Medicare for treatments done in his office that were not medically necessary. A subpoena for copies of patient records was received but the subpoena does not include a patient authorization for the release of records.

In addition, the subpoena requests all “peer review committee” records pertaining to this physician. Consider the following questions:

1) What must you check before releasing the patient records?

2) What legal concept described in this chapter will determine the admissibility of the hospital records into evidence?

3) The defendant’s lawyer objects to the subpoena, arguing that the patient records are “hear-say”. To resolve this issue, identify at least one element will likely be required in your testimony.

4) Your hospital attorney objects to the subpoena of the peer review committee materials, citing state law that protects peer review records from discovery. What legal concept describes this protection?

5)While acting on the subpoena, you discover that one of the patient records (which are electronic) has had major sections deleted. Your review of the audit trails determines that a hospital staff member was responsible for the deletions. Under what legal concept could the hospital be subject to liability for the deletions? What should have been done to protect the records? It must follow the case study writing guidelines by using the link below https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2597880/

Competition in Health Care

/0 Comments/in /by

Competition in Health Care One of the trends marking the continuing transformation of the U.S. health care industry is the dramatic increase in the pace of competition.

The heightened competition is taking place among hospitals, health plans, physician groups, and drug companies, and between physicians and hospitals, and hospitals and health plans. Listen to the Looking Ahead: The Future of Health Care Policy podcast from National Public Radio (NPR).

Then, prepare a three- to five-page paper in which you: Describe the different forms of competition that take place among various types of health care organizations. Evaluate the benefits and pitfalls of competition in health care and suggest alternatives if competition was not the primary driver of operations in the U.S. health care system.

Explain the elements of successful competition and the use of competitive intelligence. Describe the influence competition has on the services offered by health care organizations and the choices patients have. Your paper must be three double-spaced pages (excluding title and reference pages) and formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center. Utilize a minimum of two scholarly sources that were published within the last five years.

One source must be obtained from the Ashford University Library and focus on competition health care. All sources must be documented in APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.

Manipulating the microbiome to detect prevent or cure disease: from natural probiotics to engineered bacteria”

 Topic: “Manipulating the microbiome to detect, prevent or cure disease: from natural probiotics to engineered bacteria”

 

Paper details:

The complex bacterial, viral and fungal communities living in a eukaryotic host are termed ‘the microbiome’. Microbiome research has surged remarkably in the last decade as a result of technical advancements that have provided a detailed characterization of the microbiome composition and its alterations inhealth and disease(see course textbook, Chapter 8, Section 8.3). More recently, research has focused on the possibility of manipulating the microbiome for medical purposes. The manipulation strategies range from ‘old’ practices such as the use of probiotics, antibiotics or fecal microbial transplants to the exploitation of the sophisticatedtools of synthetic biology. Certainbacterial species are now being engineered to make them perform specific functions, which range from detecting a disease biomarker to delivering and secreting molecules for therapy in several clinical settings. As opposed to probiotics, engineered bacteria are defined as ‘living drugs’ and are subjected to regulation by federal health agencies.The purpose of this assignment is for you to learn how to summarize the current knowledge on microbiome manipulation as gathered from avariety of sources, either academic (i.e. review articles or IMM250H1 (Immunity and Infection): Science & Society Paper –Fall 2019primary articles from scientific journals) or non-academic (i.e. science news articles from reputable magazines [The Scientist, Scientific American, etc.], newspapers [New York Times, The Guardian, etc.], reports from government and institution science websites [NIH, Health Canada, WHO, etc.], science blogs, podcasts, etc.). From your collected materials, you will build a “story” for a general reader with or without a background in science.In other words, we want you to submit a piece of science writing using a journalistic approach. Some academic and non-academic references will be provided but you are encouraged to find your own sources of information and inspiration depending on the angle you decide to give to your article. Consider the role of cultures, health care organizations, health policy, media and individuals in thinking about the problem and its potential solution –not allof these points need tobe included, but you must be able to discuss your topic from a multidimensional perspective

Topic: Free topic –  Impact of APN in patient education in a geriatrics ward

 

Paper details:

Here is the description of the assignment Paper (60%)

Students are expected to state the title of the paper and develop the content individually.

The paper should compose of two parts, the content and reflection. In the content part, the student provides a theoretical discourse of the issues related to advanced nursing practice learned in the lectures and tutorial presentation, with illustration of clinical scenarios / cases as appropriate. In the reflection part, the student reflects on the issues raised in the first part, made observations or suggestions related to their own area of specialty practice. The students should substantiate discussion with references in the paper showing that they are conversant with the topic in a scholarly manner.

There is no word limit. A reasonable length of the paper would be around 3000 to 5000 words. As I am working in a geriatrics ward in Hong Kong, I would like to stick to my specialty and talk about the role of our nurse in-charge (APN) making use of advanced skills teaching DM patients and their relatives in pen-prefilled-insulin injection, medications and diet adherence. Please kindly state the importance of having ‘advanced’ knowledge, experience and skills and make use of nursing models to illustrate the methods and techniques APN uses in the process. My professor (Professor Frances Kam Yuet Wong) is the one pushing APN legal qualification in Hong Kong and she is super hyped while talking about the difference between APN and RNs. Quoting her publications might be useful as well. This is the proposed structure of the easy:

1. Topic & intro Try to elaborate a bit in about the topic and talk about role of APN with some references

2. Case sharing Please complete my experience of a case with multiple admission because of poor DM control, high blood HbA1c level shows that the diet of patient is not well regulated. With her wife bringing coke and different food to ward. He also suffers from diabetic foot and eye problems.

Then APN in our ward perform education in insulin injections, concepts of diet modification, medication adherence and regular blood glucose level checking to patient and his wife. In the process, different advanced education and communication skills are used with possible minor conflicts between patient and nurses on diet changes, which was resolved by the mediation of our experienced APN Please make use of Chinese names: Patient: Mr Chan, his wife: Mrs Chan, Nurses: APN: Miss Wong, Junior RN Mr Cheung

3. Evaluation (most important part) Elaborate on the case and review all the skills APN used in the whole process. Put different models in and highlight the role of APN in the case and what will happen if the case is handled by junior RNs. These are the models you may want to make use of but not limited to: QF levels: 7 levels of attainment/education in Hong Kong – talks about the difference between APN and RN – https://www.hkqf.gov.hk/filemanager/en/content_13/The%20revised%20GLD%20and%20the%20Explanatory%20Notes_Eng_April_2018.pdf Consensus Model for APRN regulatory Model Health belief model Transtheoretical model of behavioural change

4. Conclusion Talk about the importance of APN, APN qualification in Hong Kong is not legalized yet, there is only RN register in Hong Kong at the moment. In public hospitals, there is RN and APN but they are all holding RN certificate only. APN in Hong Kong usually holds a master degree with postgraduate certification in their own specialty and have at least 7 years of experience. Then make a short comment in importance in recognise APN legally in Hong Kong. I have attached the course menu to you and two of the important lecture notes related to the assignment. Please make use of it. The assignment will be online checked for plagiarism and required to use APA format as referencing.

Leadership Styles in Health Care

Leadership Styles in Health Care

Create a Powerpoint presentation Research different styles of leadership and identify three different styles that interest you.

There are MANY resources on leadership styles and some are more appropriate for fields/programs/majors than others. I am not directing you to any one ‘leadership style guide.’ I am however, asking you to select from a verified, credible source. Do NOT use about.com, Wikipedia, personal blogs, etc. Use both books to help identify characteristics of leaders that you find compelling. Different industries have different styles of leadership that are more or less meaningful. Sandberg as well as Kay & Shipman emphasize this frequently throughout their books. Please identify a leadership style that reflects the health care industry. There is NOT a one-size-fits-all for leadership. What works well in finance will differ from criminal justice and those would both differ from education. -Slide #1:Name and Title Slide (include Industry) -Slide #2 identify and define the three styles of leadership you researched, include a summary of each style -Slide #3: provide a pros and cons list for each of the identified styles, aim for at least 3 pros and cons for each (18 total pros and cons) -Slide #4: using the cultural information we have gathered during this module, explain how and why each of leadership styles may be perceived differently between a male and female leader. You cannot say, “there would be no difference” because as we have learned, that is not true from a systemic and cultural perspective. *citation Hyper link or should be included in the notes or at the bottom for each slide. Learn to speak all languages because a powerful presentation can be a powerful negotiation or persuasion tool. -40% Visual Appeal: Is the data presented concise yet informative? Are there too many words on the slide? Color Choices? Are the slide organized so that the data is easily read? 12 points -$0% Data: Thoughtful inclusion of leadership qualities for your Industry (hint: stay away from quick Google searches for “best leadership styles”) 15 Points -5% Citations: 3 Points -Poor Grammar or Misspellings can reduce points by up to 8 points
