¶ … health care problem is the first and most critical step in curriculum development, only after which it is possible to outline core elements of the curriculum and how to address the identified problems (Bass, n.d.). In this case, medical trauma management is the critical area of concern. Planning will be the focus, following a general needs assessment, but coordination of all curricular elements will also be important for effective and cost-effective delivery.
Resources required for the curriculum include personnel, time, and facilities. In this case, four or five Physician Assistants and an equal number of Nurse Practitioners will need to coordinate their contributions in accordance with the timeline and budget goals of the curriculum. Facilities will initially include simulated Emergency Departments, to prevent problems between training and actual interventions, yet will also include hands-on delivery in actual Emergency Departments to promote the goals of the curriculum. Long-range goals include improving trauma service delivery for patients and improving patient outcomes, improving performance, workplace safety, and satisfaction among health care professionals, implementing a trauma program based on evidence, and becoming a leader in human resources development.
Degree of support for the curriculum is generally high among stakeholders. However, there will be some resistance to the program from both participants and medical care staff affected by the perceived intrusion...
To increase support and decrease resistance, it will be important to talk openly with medical care teams and particularly teams in the Emergency Departments. As Swanson & Holton (2009) suggest, meeting with clients and stakeholders regularly will promote positive attitudes and empower all stakeholders to voice concerns. A well-developed curriculum will inspire trust and confidence, while a flexible and positive attitude will facilitate implementation. When the long-range goals are iterated, stakeholders feel more empowered to offer suggestions and ideas for improvement.
Administrative structure, communication, operations, and scholarship are all necessary for implementing and maintaining the curriculum. Institutional support is critical especially when working within the Emergency Departments and using medical care staff. Referring to similar programs in other institutions that have garnered support and success might help to minimize the problems associated with implementing the curriculum in this institution. Decisions are best made collaboratively, with ongoing and regular communication. Digital communications will facilitate the implementation of the curriculum. The reliance on traditional instructional systems design methods and offering an overview of ADDIE (analysis, design, develop, implement, and evaluate) in particular will help promote the goals of the curriculum.
Barriers include competition with other curriculum developers,…

Creating Diversity Elder Veterans and Health Care Services The focus of my dissertation is toward the aged American population, particularly the elderly veterans. I will be considering the type and quality of care they receive for the remainder of their old age. Currently, there are programs and health services targeted toward that group.

Conclusion This key characteristics of community-based participatory research were shown to include the equitable involvement of all stakeholders, including community members, organizational representatives, and researchers in ways that allow all partners to contribute to the enhancement of community health initiatives. The seven major steps used in an outbreak investigation and the various components of TB prevention and control in the U.S. were outlined. An analysis concerning the greatest future challenges to
Medical trauma triage management requires skillful curriculum development, which in turn depends on an assessment of needs and an anticipation of potential barriers to implementation. The initial needs assessment has revealed required resources of about four or five medical services providers such as physician assistants and nurse practitioners. Support personnel may be provided, but an additional challenge will arise when implementing the curriculum in a real world setting such as

Career in Nursing (Trauma Unit) A nursing career in trauma unit has been my desire for a long period of time, especially after joining college. I have found this an attractive career for me simply because it will provide me with an opportunity to wear different hats when dealing with emergency situations.
