Health & Medical

For weeks 13 & 14 we will be discussing a new case study on Phage Therapy. Week 13 will cover the first 1/2 of the case study. In week 14 we will cover the 2nd half of the case study.In this weeks discussion we will examine a case on phage therapy. The case is inspired by real events where Europeans imposed a treatment for cholera on the unwilling population of an Indian village in the 1920s.We will discuss treatments for bacterial infection and appropriateness of imposing a medical treatment on a population.Read through the attached case study. Answer any 4 questions the attached case study. Make sure to let us know what question # you are answering.

Explain how the system failed Victoria and what could’ve been done differently.

Most organizations use a specific quality model for the development, implementation, and evaluation of processes. Please describe the model that is used in your organization and how interprofessional team members collaborate to effect positive patient care decisions by using this model. Include the following:Identify the quality model and process used to effect change in your organization.Give a specific example of a situation to demonstrate how interprofessional team members collaborate.Where is there opportunity to improve interprofessional collaboration using the quality model and process, and why?Would you change the use of the current model? If so, why?

You all have had an undergraduate nursing theory class, of course.  For this discussion, and before you do a lot of reading, let’s talk about what your thoughts about philosophy and theory are right now.  And don’t think if you say that theory is useless that you won’t get a good grade.  I grade on the quality and logic of your posts, not on what you think I want to hear.  These are your opinions and experiences, so I don’t expect to see any citations or APA for this first discussion.Organize your thoughts around these questions:Do you remember if your UG curriculum was framed using a specific nursing theory?  If so, tell us how was that operationalized in the classroom and clinical (if you can remember).  Do you or have you worked in an institution for which nursing care was theory-guided?  Again, how did that theory get operationalized in your practice?Overall, is philosophy and theory useful or useless to guide nursing practice, research, and scholarship?  Is nursing an art or a science – or both — or neither?I want you to be concise, but fully answer the questions.  Keep focused.

PurposeThe purpose of this assignment is to have students research the measurement tools of NP performance.  Through the use of quality patient outcomes, student will l ist and discuss three different patient interventions and how  they would specifically measure the outcomes and h o w these primary care interventions result in improved patient outcomes and cost savings for the practice .  In addition,  students will discuss how these interventions result in improved patient ratings . Activity Learning OutcomesThrough this assignment, the student will demonstrate the ability to: Employ strategies to impact the development, implementation, and consequences of holistic healthcare policies using evidence-based practice principles (CO1)Critically analyze how healthcare systems and APRN practice are organized and influenced by ethical, legal, economic and political factors (CO2)Demonstrate professional and personal growth concerning the advocacy role of the advanced practice nursing in fostering policy within diverse healthcare settings (CO3)Analyze social, historical, ethical and political contexts of healthcare policies and advanced practice leadership (CO4)Advocate for institutional, local, national and international policies that fosters person-centered healthcare and nursing practice (CO5)Due Date: Sunday of week 3 by 11:59 PM MST. Students are expected to submit assignments by the time they are due. Assignments submitted after the due date and time will receive a deduction of 10% of the total points possible for that assignment for each day the assignment is late. Assignments will be accepted, with penalty as described, up to a maximum of three days late, after which point a zero will be recorded for the assignment. Quizzes and discussions are not considered assignments and are not part of the late assignment policy.Total Points Possible: 200 Requirements:The National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) was formed to ensure quality of patient care and measurement of patient outcomes with set standards.Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS) is a performance measurement tool used by millions of health insurance plans. There are 6 domains of care:Effectiveness of Care.Access/Availability of Care.Experience of Care.Utilization and Risk Adjusted Utilization.Health Plan Descriptive Information.Measures Collected UsingElectronic Clinical Data SystemsYou may access the 6 domains of care by clicking this link:(NCQA, n.d. https://www.ncqa.org/hedis/ (Links to an external site.))As an APN, productivity will be an important measurement for the practice to determine reimbursement and salary. Fee-for-service practices will require a set number of patients per day to maintain productivity. A capitated practice will require the APN to have a large panel of patients but also will focus on controlling costs. This can be accomplished through effective primary care that is accessible, convenient for the patients and has a method of measuring quality of care.Write a formal paper in APA format with title page, introduction, the three required elements below, conclusion and reference page.You are now employed as an NP in primary care. Choose one performance measure from one of the six domains of care, i.e. Adult BMI Assessment, Prenatal and Postpartum care, etc.Develop three different patient interventions for that one performance measure and how you would specifically implement the intervention and measure the outcomes for that particular performance measure in clinical practice.How would these primary care interventions result in improved patient outcomes and cost savings for the practice?How can these interventions result in improved NP patient ratings?

Provide a brief response to the discussions regarding healthcare ethics with one reference per response.

Reflect on the four peer-reviewed articles you selected in Module 2 and the four systematic reviews (or other filtered high- level evidence) you selected in Module 3Reflect on the four peer-reviewed articles you selected in Module 2 and analyzed in Module 3.Review and download the Critical Appraisal Tool Worksheet Template provided in the Resources.The Assignment (Evidence-Based Project)Part 3A: Critical Appraisal of ResearchConduct a critical appraisal of the four peer-reviewed articles you selected by completing the Evaluation Table within the Critical Appraisal Tool Worksheet Template. Choose a total of four peer- reviewed articles that you selected related to your clinical topic of interest in Module 2 and Module 3.Note: You can choose any combination of articles from Modules 2 and 3 for your Critical Appraisal. For example, you may choose two unfiltered research articles from Module 2 and two filtered research articles (systematic reviews) from Module 3 or one article from Module 2 and three articles from Module 3. You can choose any combination of articles from the prior Module Assignments as long as both modules and types of studies are represented.Part 3B: Critical Appraisal of ResearchBased on your appraisal, in a 1-2-page critical appraisal, suggest a best practice that emerges from the research you reviewed. Briefly explain the best practice, justifying your proposal with APA citations of the research. see rubric and complete worksheet and attach

In the case Marshall v. Barlow’s, Inc. in 1978, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the 4th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution required a warrant for a nonconsensual OSHA inspection. Changes to 29 CFR 1903.4 allows OSHA to obtain warrants without the owner’s knowledge under appropriate circumstances, which allows inspections to proceed without advance warning. However, in cases where OSHA shows up at a facility with no prior notice and does not obtain a warrant on an ex parte basis, the owner may require a warrant to be obtained prior to allowing an inspection to occur. Some companies have standing rules to require warrants for all inspections.Discuss the positive and negative aspects of requiring a warrant prior to allowing any OSHA inspection to occur at a facility. Provide sound reasoning for your answer.
