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.

Voluntary AccreditationNow that your Vila Health hospital has a robust compliance program and an all-staff compliance training program in place, senior leaders want to take the next step. They want the organization to perform an in-depth analysis of the benefits of voluntary accreditation. Senior leaders know the Joint Commission accreditation it currently possesses is good for the organization’s reputation and standing in the community. However, they also want to know what additional benefits, which it has not capitalized on yet, might exist for the organization. They hope to better justify the costs associated with voluntary accreditation.Because of your involvement in developing and implementing the new compliance program, they have asked you to research and prepare a summary brief on how The Joint Commission accreditation helps the organization comply with regulatory requirements, improve quality, and meet stakeholder needs. In your summary brief, they have also asked you to consider other accrediting organizations that could benefit the organization.InstructionsTo meet your senior leaders’ request, prepare a 10–12-page summary brief. A summary brief is a common document in management that is used to summarize concepts, issues, products, or projects. Summary briefs often vary in format. For academic purposes, the required format for this summary brief is APA format, a common format for health care research and academics. Consult the APA Module on Campus or the SONHS APA Template (given in the resources) for additional guidance on appropriate use of APA guidelines.Use the following headings to organize your summary brief for leadership:Accreditation in Health CareIn three to four paragraphs:Provide a short overview of accreditation in health care.Accreditation RequirementsIn three to four paragraphs:Include an overview of the most common accreditation requirements.Accreditation and Regulatory ComplianceIn one to two pages:Compare and contrast accreditation and regulation requirements.Detail how accreditation helps health care organizations meet regulatory requirements.The Joint Commission StandardsIn one to two pages:Analyze the key Joint Commission standards that apply to this organization.Accreditation Best PracticesIn two to three pages:Describe industry best practices for meeting accreditation requirements.Other Accrediting OrganizationsIn two to three pages:Select and identify one accrediting body other than The Joint Commission and analyze the benefits of its accreditation for the organization.ConclusionIn three to five paragraphs:Share your informed opinion about whether the cost and required effort for meeting accreditation requirements have value to the organization.Note: You do not need to perform a full financial analysis here. You only need to share considered insights about the benefits and costs of voluntary accreditation.Additional RequirementsYour assignment should meet the following requirements:Written Communication: Ensure your summary brief is clear, well organized, and free of errors in grammar, punctuation, and spelling.APA format: Use current APA style and formatting. Indent the first sentence of all new paragraphs.Length: 10–12 double-spaced pages, not including abstract, title page, and reference page.Font and font size: Times New Roman, 12 point.References: Cite a minimum of three references from peer-reviewed journals.
