Attitudes and Beliefs Reflection

Attitudes and Beliefs Reflection

The Standard A.4.b. of the American Counseling Association’s (ACA) 2014 Code of Ethics
mandates the following regarding personal values:
“Counselors are aware of their own values, attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors and a
void imposing
values that are inconsistent with counseling goals. Counselors respect the diversity of clients,
trainees, and research participants” (ACA, 2014, p. 5).
Therefore, it is important that counselors and counselor trainees spend time identifying their own values, understanding the origin of these values, and honestly owning how personal values may
adversely affect the counselor’s ability to work with certain populations or mental illnesses.

USE AND ROLE OF HEALTH CARE INFORMATION SYSTEMS
A‌‌‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‍‍‍‌‌‌‍ssignment Overview: Over the past several decades, health care and information technology have undergone a period of dramatic change caused by a multitude of pressures and also opportunities, many of which continue to persist and evolve. More recently, we have started to leverage the power of health care information technology to improve patient outcomes and to better engage patients in taking ownership of the health care processes. In addition, we have started to see a shift in health care reimbursement tied more toward patient outcomes than that of services actually rendered.

The Top 10 Challenges Facing Healthcare Workers

1. Lack of advancement opportunities. Fifty-one percent of healthcare workers said lack of advancement opportunities posed a significant challenge in their current or previous position. The number was slightly lower among nurses: 49 percent of nurses identified advancement opportunities as a challenge, compared to 52 percent of other healthcare professionals.

The CareerBuilder survey also asked healthcare professionals if their current or most recent employer offered a number of different employee development programs, including in-house skills training, education reimbursement, technology training and opportunity for innovation. Of the 10 programs listed, only one — in-house skills training — was answered “yes” by more than 50 percent of survey takers. Interestingly, employers felt differently: In response to the same question, more than 50 percent of employers said they offered in-house skills training, education reimbursement, flexible work schedules, cross-training and the opportunity to mentor others.

2. Work overload. 

According to the CareerBuilder survey, the provider shortage is hitting every healthcare organization in the country — especially when it comes to nurses. Forty percent of healthcare workers responded that they felt challenged by work overload at their jobs; the number jumped to 48 percent when the pool was limit to only nurses. The survey also identified a key turnover issue in healthcare workers taking on additional responsibilities above their comfort level. The provider shortage means fewer staff members must divide a significant workload, pushing some employees to the brink of exhaustion and decreasing job satisfaction considerably.

Importance of understanding the minimal data set ad hoc reporting

Importance of understanding the minimal data set ad hoc reporting

What is the importance of understanding the minimal data set needed to achieve the purpose of the report? How do health care organizations determine if reporting needs to be static or ad hoc? What are the challenges if data does not exist in an extractable format?

What is the importance of understanding the minimal data set

Firstly, What is the importance of understanding the minimal data set needed to achieve the purpose of the report?

Secondly, How do health care organizations determine if reporting needs to be static or ad hoc?

Thirdly, What are the challenges if data does not exist in an extractable format?

Furthermore, Describe the requirements for a reporting tool that would facilitate the tracking of a merit-based incentive payment system (MIPS) quality performance in an emergency department environment (e.g., clinical dashboard).

In your responses to peers, discuss at a high level how MIPS quality measure performance is determine for one or more quality measures that may be used by an emergency department.

 

More details;

Ad hoc reporting is the creation of dynamic, real-time reports by users on an as-needed basis. Since empowering end users with ad hoc reporting functionality enables them to answer business questions at the moment they occur, users move from static reporting to dynamic queries, asking and answering questions about their data.

But first, it’s time for a Latin lesson. “Ad hoc” literally means “for this.” But for Business Intelligence (BI), a better way to say it is “when necessary.” It’s an action done for a specific purpose. Facilis!

What is Ad Hoc Reporting

Ad hoc reporting is a business intelligence process. It is dynamic, real-time data reports are create by the user on an as-needed basis. They are purpose is to answer a specific business question, usually in response to an event. When the solution can’t be retrieve in your traditional, static reports, users create an ad hoc report using the data sets most relevant to the problem.
