The 2000 Institute of Medicine (IOM) report To Err is Human was a call to arms for the U.S. healthcare delivery system. It emphasized the need to explore the processes, structure, and outcomes related to the quality of care provided to individuals in our society. For your final project, you will research a gap in access to quality, equity, or efficiency of care (including existing initiatives in place to address the gap and economic and regulatory factors that are currently in place to address the gap). Access to care includes access to health insurance coverage, access to services and providers, and timeliness of the care received. All three of these components impact quality of care. Access can also include affordability. The quality of the care people receive in the healthcare system should not vary based upon their socioeconomic status. For your final project, you will select a healthcare delivery process gap and the population affected from the list below. Then, you will develop a healthcare delivery systems research paper. Option One: A gap in quality related to care coordination for individuals with chronic illnesses Option Two: A gap in equity related to mental health access for veterans Option Three: A gap in efficiency related to rising cost of pharmaceuticals for the aging population This assessment addresses the following course outcomes: Draw connections between current healthcare delivery systems and the context in which they were developed Describe the impact of economic and regulatory drivers on healthcare delivery systems Identify major gaps in access to healthcare for determining areas of opportunity for improved access to quality healthcare Explain initiatives targeted at maintaining or improving the health status of specific populations Prompt After choosing the topic for your course project from the options provided in the overview, you will work to develop your healthcare delivery systems research paper. Within the final research project you will address your chosen gap in access, including existing initiatives in place to address the gap, and economic and regulatory factors that are currently in place to address the gap. 1 Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed: Introduction A. Describe a specific gap in the delivery of healthcare. Include the specific population affected by the gap. B. Briefly describe the history of this gap in access to healthcare. Has this been an issue historically, or is it a modern issue? C. Explain the impact that the socioeconomic background of the population has on their access to healthcare. D. Describe how the healthcare delivered to the population is affected by the gap in access. E. Predict any potential implications if this gap in access is not addressed. Existing Initiatives A. Explain an existing healthcare initiative that was put in place to address this gap in access. B. Explain the specific goals of the existing initiative in place to address this gap in access. C. Describe the circumstances around the development of the existing initiative. Consider when it was developed and what factors were considered. D. Describe the resources required to fund the existing initiative. E. Explain why the existing initiative is not meeting its intended purpose and now requires improvement. Regulation Explain a current regulation regarding the existing initiative that has been identified and the context in which it was developed. Why is this regulation important? Describe the regulatory level that the existing initiative is being addressed at. Consider the potential for multiple levels of regulation. Conclusion: Explain the effectiveness of the existing initiative and associated regulations in addressing this gap in the delivery of healthcare to the target population. Does the initiative align with initiative in place to support other gaps? Are there conflicting interests to be aware of? Milestones In Module Three, you will submit a 2- to 3-page paper explaining why the topic you chose is a gap in healthcare and analyze the specific population impacted by Milestone One: Topic Selection the issue. This assignment will be graded with the Milestone One Rubric. Milestone Two: Existing Initiatives In Module Five, you will submit a 2- to 3-page paper in which you will identify and analyze an initiative that addresses the gap you chose as the topic for your final project. This assignment will be graded with the Milestone Two Rubric. 2 Final Submission: Healthcare Delivery Systems Research Paper In Module Seven, you will submit your final project. It should be a complete, polished artifact containing all of the critical elements of the final project. It should reflect the incorporation of feedback gained throughout the course. This submission will be graded with the Final Project Rubric. Final Project Rubric Guidelines for Submission: Your healthcare delivery systems research paper should be 5 to 8 pages.

His head was killing him! He wasn’t sure which was worse, the “morning after” headache or not being able to sleep at night. At least when he had a few beers under his belt so he could catch a few hours of sleep. It had been like this since he was air evacuated back stateside from Afghanistan after the roadside bomb went off. He was thankful that he had only broken his leg in a couple of places and gotten a bad bump on the head. They called that traumatic brain injury but he didn’t know what that was and really didn’t believe them anyway. He was still thinking just fine. His friend Joe wasn’t so lucky! How was Joe going to learn to walk on those artificial legs? He was still in the hospital in Washington, DC. That was pretty far from his home. Eddie wished he could visit Joe. They had been in the same platoon for 9 months. But, Eddie was glad that he had been able to come back to his own home town for outpatient treatment. It took an hour to get here but at least he could see his girl almost every day. Sure he had moved back in with his mom but it was easier to have someone to help him get around and cook for him. It was a bummer that he couldn’t work right now. He guessed it didn’t matter much since he really didn’t have a job to go back to. He had been replaced at the plant. They said they would find something for him to do once he could get around more easily. Eddie sure hoped the doc would take the pins out of his leg today and give him a clearance to work. How would the use of the Roy Adaptation Model assist the nurse in planning the continuation of care for Sgt. Johns? Describe the influence of Roy’s Theory in guiding the nurse’s actions in promoting Sgt. Johns adjusted self-concept. From the perspective of the Roy Adaptation Model, why is it important for the nurse to listen to Sgt. Johns’ “story” in his own words and not just base her interactions on information from the chart, fellow colleagues, or his family? Based on Neuman System’s Model, identify at least 4 stressors from the case study. Create a plan of care based on Neuman Systems Model for Sgt. Johns.   Assignment Expectations: Length: 18-20 slides Structure: Include a title slide, objective slide, content slides, reference slide in APA format. Title/Objective/Reference slides do not count towards the minimum slide count for this assignment. References: Use appropriate APA style in-text citations and references for all resources utilized to answer the questions. A minimum of one (4) outside scholarly sources and the textbook(Nursing Theories and Nursing Practice 4th edition) are required for this assignment.

suggest an alternative philosophy of health education and promotion that might help your colleagues in defining their philosophy statement and explain why. Then, suggest one  additional idea, concept, or perspective related to health education that your colleagues should consider in revising their philosophy statement. Please reflect to this colleaque:  As a health educator, I will communicate with individuals of the community on how to make healthy decisions by helping them focus on themselves and their health routines. I will not force or persuade an individual to change their views or beliefs, but provide them with documents and evidence- based data that will help them make decisions based on their needs and their way of life to create a plan to live and function as a healthier individual.  The freeing or functioning philosophy is the philosophy that best fits my health education and promotion statement. This statement focuses on helping to free people to make the best health decision possible based on their needs and interest- not necessarily the interest of society. (Cottrell et al., 2018). The goal of my philosophy statement is to address individual values, attitudes, and beliefs, and to address individual and group norms that support health-enhanced behaviors. (CDC, 2019). The best way to deliver and to inform individuals is to provide instructional strategies and learning experiences that motivate individuals to critically examine personal perspectives and to thoughtfully consider new arguments that support health-promoting attitudes and values, and generate positive perceptions about protective behaviors and negative perceptions about risk behaviors. (CDC, 2019). I would also provide instructional strategies and learning experiences to help individuals accurately assess the level of risk-taking behaviors among their peers, correct misperceptions of peer and social norms, emphasize the value of good health, and reinforce health-enhancing attitudes and beliefs. (CDC, 2019). As a health educator, continued education with updated information on health issues, will benefit the way I would teach families in the community. Due to so many aspects of health changing, constant health education will be the key in preparing individuals to make healthier choices for themselves and their families.

If you are a medical professional with a license, investigate your state practice act.  Do a web search to find information specific to your state regarding the scope of practice for your profession.

Provide two scenarios that demonstrate clearly examples of not working within your own scope of practice.  In each scenario, explain why the situation represents a professional working within their scope of practice or not within their scope of practice.   If you do not hold a license as a medical professional, consider using a nurse, medical assistant, x-ray tech, or similar state practice act to complete this assignment.           Points Possible: 20 points 16 points (4 points per scenario) 1 point for providing a URL to the scope of practice or state practice act 3 points for writing level

For the Unit VIII PowerPoint Presentation, you will assume the role of a candidate interviewing for the director of medical billing at Columbia Southern Medical Group. The interview panel has provided you with five questions, and they would like you to create presentation slides with your response(s). Below are the five interview questions. Columbia Southern Medical Group is an organization that prides itself on being on the forefront of innovation. By fulfilling this role as the director of medical billing, you would be expected to maintain knowledge on health insurance developments and new strategies in the field. What three recent developments in health care have influenced the climate of reimbursement the most, in your opinion? Be sure to detail each development. (two slides) Some of your tasks as director of medical billing will lead you to be involved in Columbia Southern Medical Group’s medical coding procedures. Seeing that Columbia Southern Medical Group provides both inpatient and outpatient services, explain the types of medical coding that will be used in your department. Explain the relationship between the coding and billing departments, and identify some of the issues that could arise with incorrect coding/billing. (two slides) Columbia Southern Medical Group does accept Medicare assignment in most cases, but there are two facilities owned by Columbia Southern Medical Group that do not participate with the Medicare program. With what you know about the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule (MPFS) and how it differs regarding participating providers versus non-participating providers, outline the differences in how these separate entities would conduct payments with this system. It may be a good idea to provide an example with the two different calculations describing how a service or procedure would be reimbursed under these scenarios. (two slides) Being in compliance with healthcare regulations is of the utmost importance to Columbia Southern Medical Group, and it is imperative that all of its departments operate ethically and with integrity. One of your tasks as director will be to implement policies that will provide protection and security of all sensitive data housed in your department. Name safeguarding techniques that you will use to ensure privacy and security of patient information. Furthermore, describe regulatory standards and/or healthcare laws that will explain and enforce compliance measures. How do these measures help combat fraud and abuse? (two slides) Columbia Southern Medical Group has always worked hard to create an atmosphere of continuous improvement as that has shown to lead to a more quality experience for the patient. By keeping up with current trends in the industry as well as ensuring that all regulatory and legal requirements are met, Columbia Southern Medical Group will continue to provide quality unmatched by others. One regulatory requirement that you will be tasked with as the director of medical billing is auditing. What are some healthcare third-party audits specific to medical billing and coding of which you will need to be knowledgeable? What are your thoughts on random self-audits? Do you think they can be helpful to you and your department if you were to obtain this position? (two slides) Your presentation should consist of a total of 10 slides, not counting the title and reference slides.
