Recall that pay-for-performance programs seek to improve health care quality while lowering costs. In 2006, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) implemented a national survey instrument known as the Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Services (HCAHPS) to allow patient care experiences to be analyzed at a national level, to increase incentives for hospitals to improve care, and to enhance accountability by increasing transparency of patient care quality. Research has shown that it is important to adjust the HCAHPS survey scores based on the type of procedure performed and presence of certain services, such as inpatient psychiatric care. Why might patients who experience longer hospital stays tend to give lower scores on the HCAHPS survey? What factors play a crucial role in patient satisfaction? What further research might be necessary to improve the HCAHPS survey? 1 Page with 1 or 2 sources

Public health research has traditionally focused on problems, deficiencies, disease, and contributing factors to public health problems. In recent years, community health assessments have also included community assets or resources. The process of identifying these contributions to the public health of a community is called asset mapping. One strategy for identifying assets is geographic information system (GIS) mapping. Although the asset-mapping approach to community health assessment is appealing for many reasons, not every asset map is successful or yields results that would be relevant to a community health assessment or public health program. It is important to know the benefits and limitations of asset mapping with regard to community health assessment. For this week’s Discussion, review the media titled Identifying Assets. Consider the use of community assets in Belize. Using this information, and the information you gathered in the Resources, consider the benefits and limitations to using community asset mapping and GIS in community health assessment. With these thoughts in mind: Post an explanation of one benefit and one limitation of using asset mapping in community health assessment. Provide a specific example of when you might use asset mapping and explain why. Then, explain one benefit and one limitation for the use of geographic information systems (GIS) mapping. Provide a specific example of when you might use GIS and explain why. Use the Resources and current literature to support your response.

Complete your week 1 required discussion prompt. Discussion Prompt: This week, you learned that a healthcare worker will be exposed to a diverse population of individuals on a daily basis. While medical professionals must have the highest level of technical skill, they must also have the highest level of professionalism. That level of professionalism requires healthcare workers to be educated on different cultures, different religions, different sexual orientations, and different socioeconomic classes because those differences will change the type of care that the patient will require from the caregiver. For this prompt, you will each choose one culture, religion, sexual orientation, or socioeconomic class from the following list: Muslim, Hispanic, Native American, Indian, Russian, Baptist, Catholic, Jewish, Jehovah’s Witness, Amish, Christian Scientist, Islamic, Buddhist, homosexual, transgender, low-income, middle class, or upper class. Please choose one that has not already been discussed by a classmate.  In your post, first educate your classmates on general knowledge of your category of patients. Next, discuss the specific beliefs of that category of individuals that a medical professional would need to know in order to provide proper care. Finally, discuss any specific actions that a medical professional can take to accommodate the beliefs of that category of individuals. Please chose MUSLIM as your topic. I have attached the chapters for this week discussion board for your reference. Use APA format 7th edtion. n use scholarly reference

You are a member of the board of directors for Selfless Health, an integrated delivery system that includes an academic medical center, three community hospitals, a long term care facility, and a home health agency.  Selfless Health struggles to operate in the black, in fact any years where the system does not lose money is considered an achievement.  The board has been approached by MMC (Massive Mega-Capital, a venture capital firm) with an offer to acquire the health system. The board chair has asked you to provide a summary analysis comparing not-for-profit and for-profit health systems.  What are the benefits and risks of each model?  Is there evidence of the superiority of either system?  Does your home state allow for-profit ownership of hospitals?  Conclude your summary with a recommendation for Selfless Health.  Should it accept the takeover?  Why or why not?  Your analysis should be no longer than 10 pages. The cover page, references, and any figures are not included in the page count).
