This problem is adapted from a real case history developed by the Center for Health Care Rights in California .

Mr. H. was a diabetic and had severe ulcers on his feet. He was a member of an HMO, and his primary care physician had prescribed a treatment regimen that was proving ineffective. In response, the primary care physician offered Mr. H. an amputation below the knee that was his only option. Mr. H. went out of plan to a local wound care center that specialized in diabetic wound treatment where he was advised that vein by-pass surgery would likely take care of his problem. The HMO denied such surgery because Mr. H. referred himself to the specialist without permission. The HMO advised Mr. H.'s family that its utilization review department was reviewing the case, but that it would take at least a month to review. Subsequently, the HMO agreed to approve such surgery, but only if done by Mr. H.'s current medical group, which did not have any physician who had ever performed vein by-pass surgery. Mr. H.'s family asked for him to be transferred to a primary care physician at the medical group that staffs the wound care center. The HMO responded that although they sometimes approve such requests, they would not do so in Mr. H.'s case and that they had already granted enough of his requests. They gave as their reason a provision in the plan documents that prevent referrals outside the plan's network when the network's physicians have the capability to perform the required procedure.

Good Evening,

In one of my classes one of the requirements is to be part of online discussions based on the subject the professor post. for this week we have to read some articles and answer some questions. Please dont use fancy words for this project. This is a discussion board. Due to work I wont be able to work on this.

Here is the discussion for this week:
In 2003, President George Bush appointed Dr. David Brailor as Director of the Office of Health Information Technology, and charged him with the establishment of a National Healthcare Information Network. Please read This Man Wants to Heal Healthcare found in Business Week of October 31, 2005. In April 2006, Dr. Brailor resigned and re-entered the private sector. He has formed a new company
(See http://healthevolutionpartners.com/focus.html) and aligned it with CalPERS.
(See http://www.bizjournals.com/sanfrancisco/stories/2007/06/04/daily16.html)

Since his leaving, several private companies have entered the healthcare information field. Check out the following articles.

For this weeks conference, please research these articles (and each of the companies mentioned) and discuss the ramifications of private companies entering the health care information field. Think of such concepts as;
Who posts this data?
Is the materials posted trustworthy? (Would I admit over the internet to being a schizophrenic on medication, being an addict, or having had an abortion?)
How easily can the materials posted be altered?
How easily can these materials be hacked?
Would you trust these companies? Which ones? Why?
How good is their security? (Are they currently covered by HIPAA)

A paper for general public not another colleague. 3pages double space, no APA or MLA format

Professional duties and responsibilities [job roles] for nurses have changed significantly in recent years to meet new and diverse challenges in patient care, public health, and healthcare communication. Those changes are occurring, in large part, due to developments in electronic forms of writing and technical communication, in particular, the increasing use of computers and hand held digital devices to improve communication in hospitals and clinics, reduce medication errors, improve charting, preserve and quickly access patient records, reduce the likelihood of nosocomial and antibiotic-resistant infections, implement evidence-based clinical practices, and perform other electronic tasks to improve patient safety.

1. Do you agree or disagree with those claims? Why or why not?

2. Describe one salient example of how changes in electronic communicatione.g., the increased use of computers, palm pilots, or other digital devices--are affecting patient care today, or may affect patient care in the future. Base your observations on your own experiences in nursing and/or nursing education. If you wish to describe a patient scenario, be sure to protect the patients confidentiality by using initials or a pseudonym.

3. Which future opportunities and challenges do you envision for nurses, based on the increasing use of computers and digital devices in the clinical workplace?

Write as if you were communicating your insights in a magazine that is read by high school and college students who are considering a career in the health disciplines.

Because this is an article for the general public, you do NOT need to include in-text citations for quotes or paraphrases, or a list of references in APA format

1. I am a nursing student currentantly attending an Entry-level Master's Program (which started in 2011, catered for students who have a non-Nursing Bachelor's degree but wish to pursue a career in Nursing) where I just finished my first year (1 year/out of 3 years).

2. The first part of the program is equivalent to a Bachelor's of Science in Nursing while the second part of the program covers the Nurse Practitioner portion/upper division. I am looking into transferring to another school due to:
a. Better fit (although this would not sound right if mentioned in the essay)
b. Possible location to Washington. My current GPA is on the average scale, but I am also a mother on a very fast/accelerated program. I also have numerous extracurricular activities such as volunteer work for fundraising (non-profit), homeless shelter, etc.

Prior to the Entry-Level Master's Program, my background is in Pharmaceutical Sales and I also have a Bachelor's degree in Anthropology. I would like to increase my chances of getting into or transfer into another school who has the same program. Below is a copy of my entrance exam essay in 2011.*PLEASE INTEGRATED MY PAST ENTRANCE ESSAY TO MY FUTURE/PLANNED ENTRANCE ESSAY.

<>
"A busy medical clinic in Los Angeles is alive with activity as the waiting room seats an endless line of patients. The secured sign-in window ensured the anonymity of the patients in accordance with the HIPPA guidelines. As I sat there waiting with the patients, I found myself wondering who they were and why they were there. This curiosity turned into a deep sense of remorse as I saw the pain and discomfort in their eyes. I watched an elderly lady that was too frail to walk and appeared to be losing her battle against osteoporosis struggle to find a comfortable position. Another patient in his thirties waited anxiously as he tried to distract himself with the latest issue of WebMD. As a pharmaceutical sales consultant, I leave product samples to help the doctor better determine the efficacy of the drug as well as explain why my product should be prescribed over another. Having witnessed the misery of the patients in the waiting room, my confidence quickly faded and I discarded my glossy marketing materials and rehearsed presentation. With perspiration on my forehead, I reached out for a non-biased clinical study to help the practitioner make the best decision for his patients.

Everyday I find myself in the same situation, seated next to patients, unable to interact with them due to pharmaceutical and FDA guidelines. My position allows me to interact with medical doctors, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and other healthcare professionals, presenting valuable clinical studies to assist the doctors in helping their patients. I am trained to understand pharmacotherapy and its clinical trials but unfortunately, this position limits my ability to directly assist the patients.

I interact with Nurse practitioners on a daily basis and I am always impressed by the tremendous impact they have in patient care. Nurse practitioners take their time in uncovering not only a treatment plan in response to a certain condition or disease, but they also partner with patients to ensure the plan is successfully followed. I experienced this as a patient when I became pregnant with my daughter. My pregnancy was very difficult and it left me bed ridden for the majority of the nine months. Since my obstetrician was extremely busy attending to deliveries on a daily basis, it was the clinic?s nurse practitioner who partnered with me to ensure that I was physically and emotionally well. This hands-on approach was very beneficial for me. It was reassuring to know that somebody was available to answer any of my questions and truly care for my mind and spirit in addition to administering procedures and dispensing medications.

At this point, I have set a distinct goal of obtaining a MSN-FNP degree to fulfill my ultimate goal of partnering with patients to provide holistic care and treatment, along with my equal interest of taking part in the latest treatment guidelines and discovery. I would like to be a part of an era where the role of nursing is continuously evolving at a faster rate. It would be in my best interest to obtain a strong nursing foundation so I could equip myself with the ability to provide the core function of nursing (From Latin word: nutricia; to nourish), which is to provide care for patients, and at the same time, be able to keep abreast of the current changes and growth in the profession."

1. Discuss how the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) standards impact how you develop job descriptions. Provide specific examples to support your response.
2. Create a selection process for your specific health care organization that adheres to all legal requirements.
3. Outline a plan to maximize employee retention specific to your organization.
4. Outline a plan for terminating employees who are not a good fit for the organization.
5. Cite at least five (5) references, three (3) of which must be from peer-reviewed journals.

PLS I NEED TO GET ALL THE PONITS FROM THIS ASSIGNMENT WHOEVER WROTE MY LAST NURSING ASSIGNMENT DID A VERY BAD JOB FOR ME MY GRADE WAS VERY POOR.
I NEED THIS POINT TO BOOST UP MY POINT IN THE COURSE.
THANKS.

dear author,

I am requesting a professional,articulated corporate proposal letter.

Background information:

My profession is nursing.My facility is a profit organization based.I administrate the clinical transcatheter aortic valve replacement program at facility.
It is a fairly new program and it has been successful with tremendous patient care outcomes.On the corporate level it was a huge investment for the facility but,with many rewards.We provide excellent patient care everyday by returning our patients back to their former every day living activities.

The proposal (letter) is to request funding,marketing and support from the corporate executives to sponsor a "celebration gathering" to commemorate a monumental milestone in our program the "25" TAVR patient enrolled and treated.

I managed the TAVR program at MGH prior to my new position at this institution and I did same celebration milestone and they were well received by all involved with the program.

The plan moving forward is to have a "celebration gathering" on every monumental milestone for example ;50,75,100,150 ect.

Many other reasons for having this celebration are the following:

1.uplift the staff morale-they question our ethics when we perform these procedures due to the advance age(over 65 and above) of our patient population and comorbidities.

We Can But Should We?
SCENARIO
Emergency workers in Marin County, California are using the technology involving QR codes to save lives in emergency situations. A company, Lifesquare, has partnered with two emergency response agencies in the county to conduct a year-long pilot program. Lifesquare wants residents to input personal information about their medications into its website and then place corresponding QR code stickers where emergency workers can find and scan them in the case of an emergency. These stickers are available from a local pharmacy. Elsewhere, another company, ID Amber, has a Security Code printed on a tag which can be scanned readily. And yet another company, ScanMedQR.com, manufactures silicon bracelets, cards for wallets and necklaces that have QR codes on them that provide quick access to health records.
Lets assume that your neighbors (many elderly) have heard of the pilot study but they have some concerns with, and are somewhat skeptical about, this new-fangled technology. They have asked you for more information about the technology including the advantages and disadvantages of participating in such a pilot project or obtaining the tags used by other companies. You conduct a review of this technology by reading sources on the Internet and in the current literature. You discover there are several health care organizations using this technology in various ways. You have read their marketing information for additional insight. Basically, your neighbors are looking to you for knowledge so they can answer the question: We Can But Should We?
DIRECTIONS
1. You are to research, compose and type a scholarly paper based on the scenario described above. Reflect on what you have learned in this class to date about technology, privacy concerns and ethical issues. Do not limit your review of the literature to nursing only. Other health professionals are using the technology and you may need to apply critical thinking skills to its applications in this scenario.
2. Use Microsoft Word and APA formatting. use of third person.
3. The length of the paper should be 3 pages, excluding the title page and the reference page. Limit the references to a few key sources.

4. The paper will contain an Introduction that catches the attention of the reader with interesting facts and supporting sources of evidence, which should be included as in-text citations. The Body should present the advantages and disadvantages regarding the use of QR codes. The Conclusion and Recommendations should summarize your findings and state your position regarding whether your neighbors should participate in a pilot project. Make your case based on the evidence you have collected.

SUBDOMAIN 725.8 - COMMUNITY HEALTH NURSING

Competency 725.8.1: Community Health Epidemiology - The graduate assesses and analyzes the health status of populations using data, community resources identification, input from the population, and professional judgment; and determines meaning of the data to identify opportunities and needs.
Competency 725.8.5: Quality of Life and Functioning - The graduate selects nursing actions during illness and end-of-life stages to maximize quality of life and functioning for individuals, families, and communities; promotes wellness principles and programs for individuals, families, and communities; and reflects on how personal beliefs or perceptions about quality of life and health promotion impact approaches or decisions in nursing care.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Introduction:

More emphasis is being placed on healthier communities as changes are occurring in the fields of healthcare financing, policy, and focus. One of the primary roles of a community health nurse is to assess the community or population in order to determine its health status in relation to its assets and needs.


Choose a community to investigate(Galveston, Texas). Conduct a community assessment to assess the health needs/risks of the identified community.

? Population Economic Status Assessment

? Neighborhood/Community Safety Inventory

? Cultural Assessment Tool

? Disaster Assessment and Planning Guide


Note: The collection of this data should include a variety of data sources, such as focus groups with older adults and/or youth, epidemiological data from the health department or department of vital statistics, investigations of community resources from stakeholders or faith-based organizations, and/or surveys.

Task:

A. Formulate an appropriate community diagnosis for the selected community by doing the following (suggested length of 4 pages):

1. Describe the selected community based on the assessment.

2. Interpret the collected data using concepts of epidemiology (e.g., birth rate, death rate).

3. Create a community genogram to present the data collected in the assessment.

4. Provide a short interpretation of the genogram, including the health indicators for this community.

5. Formulate a community diagnosis based on the data collected.


B. If you use sources, include all in-text citations and references in APA format.


Note: Please save word-processing documents as *.rtf (Rich Text Format) or *.pdf (Portable Document Format) files.


Note: When using sources to support ideas and elements in a paper or project, the submission MUST include APA formatted in-text citations with a corresponding reference list for any direct quotes or paraphrasing. It is not necessary to list sources that were consulted if they have not been quoted or paraphrased in the text of the paper or project.

Note: No more than a combined total of 30% of a submission can be directly quoted or closely paraphrased from sources, even if cited correctly. For tips on using APA style, please refer to the APA Handout web link included in the APA Guidelines section.
