Reflect on the public health issue you are studying for your final project and the readings in the course so far. What do you perceive to be the biggest obstacles to behavior change? Do you think these obstacles can be removed? Why or why not? If an obstacle cannot be removed, is there some way to work around it?

Ethics and Decision-Making in the VA Healthcare System Course OutcomeHS450-5: Evaluate the impact of ethical decision-making on healthcare leadership to maximize strategic planning.Unit OutcomesDiscuss the principles of ethics and medical professionalism in strategic planning.Examine the role of leaders in ethical decision-making and problem-solving strategies in the U.S. health system. GEL-7.05: Analyze the effects of ethical decision making on the field of study.Unit 8 Assignment Case Study: Problems at the VA Health SystemIn 2009, President Barack Obama appointed retired Army Chief of Staff, General Eric Shinseki, to the position of secretary of Veterans Affairs (VA), the federal department responsible for providing healthcare and federal benefits to U.S. veterans and dependents. As part of its strategic plan, Secretary Shinseki was tasked with implementing 16 major initiatives to bring the VA into the 21st century. One of the 16 initiatives was the enhancement of the veteran’s experience with and access to healthcare.In 2013, CNN was among the news outlets reporting that veterans were experiencing delayed care at the Williams Jennings Bryan Dorn Veterans Medical Center in Columbia, SC. In fact, the delays were so serious that six veterans died while waiting for months to receive necessary diagnostic procedures. The VA launched an investigation into the GI clinic at Dorn and found several issues, including low staff census; leadership turnover that resulted in a lack of understanding of roles, responsibilities and system processes; and ineffective program coordination. Allegations of long wait times also emerged from VA facilities in Arizona, Pittsburgh, and the Phoenix VA Health Care System. Delays, however, were not the only shortcomings alleged. In the Phoenix VA Health Care System, for instance, there were claims of manipulated patient wait times, bad scheduling practices, and patient deaths. In 2014, the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) launched an investigation into these allegations. Two questions were addressed in this review:Did the facility’s electronic wait list (EWL) purposely omit the names of veterans waiting for care and, if so, at whose direction?Were the deaths of any of these veterans related to delays in care? The investigators confirmed “inappropriate scheduling issues throughout the VA and health care system” (VA 2014, iii).In the Phoenix VA, specifically, investigators found that 1,400 veterans did not have a primary careappointment but were listed on the EWL. It was also determined that 1,700 veterans were waiting for a primary care appointment but were not listed on the EWL. Because veterans were not on the EWL system, the Phoenix leadership significantly understated the time new patients waited for the appointments. The investigators found that the average wait time was 115 days for the first primary careappointment and about 84 percent of these patients waited more than 14 days.The Office of Inspector General (OIG) identified multiple types of scheduling practices that were not in compliance with Veterans Health Administration policy. Since the multiple lists found were something other than the official EWL, the additional lists may be the basis for allegations of “secret” wait lists.Secretary Shinseki called the findings “reprehensible” and resigned from his post on May 30, 2014.Case Study Questions From a leadership perspective, analyze the problems at the VA relative to ethical decision-making practices.Discuss the ethical issue of having 1,700 veterans, who were not listed on the EWL, wait for a primary care appointment at the Phoenix VA. Create at least two (2) policies/standards to ensure ethical leadership practices with respect to improving coordination of the EWL and primary care appointments.Explain why Secretary Eric Shinseki resigned his position. Identify at least two (2) alternative options that Secretary Shinseki could have taken to resolve the unethical decision-making practices in this case study.Apply the American College of Healthcare Executives (ACHE) Code of Ethics to the VA Health System case study.Requirements:Please complete Assignment in a Microsoft Word® document.

Use this website to answer the questions belowhttps://owl.purdue.edu/owl/subject_specific_writing/professional_technical_writing/grant_writing/index.htmlPrograms providing payments to individuals have become a large part of federal aid to state and local governments, squeezing out more traditional grants for programs like bridges, highways, community development, and job training. The grant system has also pulled state and local governments into regulatory policy. Each grant program brings with it a package of regulations and mandates that further spreads federal influence over state and local governmental activities.Competitive grants require a specific type of application. Although state and federal agencies and especially foundations have different requirements, the basic parts of a grant application remain the same. What are the key components of a grant proposal? Explain why each step is important when writing a successful grant request.

7 Step Model Create a possible ethical dilemma relating to your chosen field. For example: You are a Medical Assistant and your supervising physician consistently asks you to perform procedures that you are not trained for. Or, you are a Medical Biller and your supervisor has asked you to overbill certain procedures because the clinic that you work for is in financial trouble. Using the 7 Step Decision Making Model, apply the facts of your dilemma. After you provide a summary of your situation, you will fill in this worksheet by answering the questions of the 7 Step Model to resolve your ethical situation. Summary of the Situation: The Seven-Step Decision Model I. Determine the facts by asking the following questions. What do we need to know? Who is involved in the situation? Where does the ethical situation take place? When does it occur? II. Define the precise ethical issue. For example, is it a matter of fairness, justice, morality, or individual rights? III. Identify the major principles, rules, and values. For example, is this a matter of integrity, quality, respect for others, or profit? IV. Specify the alternatives. List the major alternative courses of action, including those that represent some form of compromise. This may be a choice between simply doing or not doing something. V. Compare values and alternatives. Determine if there is one principle or value, or a combination of principles and values, that is so compelling that the proper alternative is clear. VI. Assess the consequences. Identify short-term, long-term, positive, and negative consequences for the major alternatives. The short-term gain or loss is often overridden when long-term consequences are considered. This step often reveals an unanticipated result of major importance. VII. Make a decision. The consequences are balanced against one’s primary principles or values. Always double-check your decision.

We are all experiences the challenges placed on us with COVID-19 but the elderly are at a higher risk of complication and death. The situation is ever changing and research ongoing making it challenging to find accurate information. Every day, however, we are learning more and more about this virus and its impacts on the individual, communities, governments and health systems. Locate four credible media sources (online, television, radio, print media) discussing the impact of COVID-19 on the elderly. -information can be from United States or another country -may include public service announcements, government videos, speakers at conferences such as TED Talks, training videos, or websites -information should be interactive and not merely a news article or research paper (think of the video discussion assignments you have completed this summer) Each media discussion should be 100 words minimum and include… -brief explanation of the item -goal and target audience of the information -relationship to elderly and COVID-19
