  • Ethical dilemma in genomic healthcare

    6.2 Online Ethical Debate Identify an ethical dilemma related to genomic healthcare issues. Each student needs to select their own unique scenario. Please do NOT duplicate material. Incorporate the ethical principle violated by the dilemma suggested. Be creative in your approach to the presentation of the debate scenario. Each student works independently on this assignment. Present your analysis, thoughts and arguments on the discussion forum and discuss rationale. Each student in the course needs to respond to a total of 2 students (minimum of 3 post) Here are some ideas to organize your debate: Introduction Outline your case with an introduction that states your main arguments and explains the general thrust of your case. This must be done briefly since the most important thing is to get on and actually argue it. Case Having outlined the main argument, then begin to build a case (the parts). Divide your case into a few arguments (parts) and justify your arguments with basic logic, worked examples, statistics, and quotes. Debating is all about the strategy of proof. Proof, or evidence, supports your assertion and develops an argument. It is usually best to put the most important arguments first. Here is an example of a case outline: The media exert more influence over what people think than the government does. This is true for three reasons. Firstly, most people base their votes on what they see and hear in the media. Secondly, the media can set the political agenda between elections by deciding what issues to report and in how much detail. Thirdly, the media have successfully demonized politicians over the last ten years so that now people are more likely to believe journalists than politicians. All of the arguments in this case outline are debatable (almost immediately you can see the counterarguments), but they give the case a wide range which covers all kinds of issues. The trick is not to come up with a watertight case, but a well-argued one. Think: Can I argue that? Rebuttal of the Parts Arguments can be factually, morally or logically flawed. These are the basics of rebuttal and almost every argument can be found wanting in at least one of these components. Here are a few examples: Compulsory euthanasia at age 70 would save the country money in pensions and healthcare. This is true but is morally flawed. Banning cigarette product placement in films will cause more young people to smoke because it will make smoking more mysterious and tabooer. This is logically flawed; the ban would be more likely to stop the steady stream of images which make smoking seem attractive and glamorous and actually reduce the number of young people smoking. I will then look at the economic issues… Blah..blah..blah…(5 minutes later and still no mention of the economic issues) This is a clear failure to explain a major part of the case and attention should be drawn to it. Even better is when a speaker starts with, to win this debate there are three things I must do…. If the speaker fails to do any of those things, you can then hang her or him by the noose by repeating their exact words by his or her own admission he or she cannot have won the debate. Ask yourself how the other side approached the case. Is their methodology flawed? Consider what tasks the other side set themselves (if any) and whether they have in fact addressed these. Consider what the general emphasis of the case is and what assumptions it makes. Try to refute these. Take the main arguments and do the same thing. It is not worth repeating a point of rebuttal that has been used by someone else already, but you can refer to it to show that the argument has not stood up. It is not necessary to correct every example used. You wont have time and your aim is to show the other sides case to be flawed in the key areas. Conclusion At the end, once 2 students have responded, it is useful to briefly summarize and agree or disagree with the arguement. atleast 250 words 3 sources

    Leading Through ComplexityAdaptive and Psychodynamic Approaches

    This module focuses on two advanced and often underappreciated approaches to leadership that address the complex, emotional, and unpredictable nature of modern organizational life. While many leadership theories focus on strategy, behavior, or ethics, both Adaptive Leadership and the Psychodynamic Approach emphasize the deeper work of helping individuals and organizations navigate change, manage anxiety, and unlock transformational insight.

    We begin with Adaptive Leadership, a model developed by Heifetz and colleagues, which teaches leaders how to mobilize people to face difficult challenges, learn new ways of thinking, and thrive in rapidly changing environments. Adaptive Leadership distinguishes between technical challenges, which can be solved with expertise, and adaptive challenges, which require people to confront values, rethink identities, and change behavior. Youll learn about key strategies such as getting on the balcony, regulating distress, giving the work back to the people, and protecting voices from below. This approach reframes leadership as a collaborative, dynamic process that requires courage, diagnosis, and the ability to let go of control.

    We then explore the Psychodynamic Approach, which is rooted in clinical psychology and seeks to understand the emotional undercurrents that drive human behavior in organizations. Based on the clinical paradigm, this model acknowledges that many of our actionsespecially in leadershipare shaped by unconscious patterns, past relationships, and unspoken fears. Youll examine concepts such as the inner theater, social defense mechanisms, narcissism, mirroring, and identification with the aggressor. While this approach doesnt offer a step-by-step leadership formula, it encourages deep self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and an understanding of how unresolved issues can ripple through teams and entire organizations.

    By the end of this module, you will be able to diagnose complex organizational dynamics, differentiate between adaptive and technical problems, and appreciate the psychological dimensions of leadership. These insights will help you respond to challenges not just with toolsbut with wisdom, empathy, and strategic depth.

    Part 1): Watch . In a short handwritten submission of roughly 2/3 of a page to Assignments, describe your experience sharing writing with others. How does the discussion of peer review in the video align with your own experience? What is necessary to make peer review successful, in your opinion?

    Part 2): Stockman mentions the idea of Universal Basic Income on page 11, and expands upon it on page 280. and respond to the following in a short journal: “There has been much debate about Universal Basic Income as a solution to unemployment, but weve also seen that people need jobs and want to work, rather than sit idly at home. Has the book change your opinion on social welfare? Do you think something like UBI might help the people in American Made? Why?” (my personal thought is that I see that it could have a positive impact on the people in American Made, however, would be concerned that people might leave the workforce)

  • Nursing-sensitive quality indicators and informatics

    The focus of Assessment 4 is on how informatics support monitoring of nursing-sensitive quality indicator data. You will develop an 810 minute audio (or video) training module to orient new nurses in a workplace to a single nursing-sensitive quality indicator critical to the organization. Your recording will address how data are collected and disseminated across the organization along with the nurses role in supporting accurate reporting and high quality results. Professional Context The American Nursing Association (ANA) established the National Database of Nursing Quality Indicators (NDNQI) in 1998 to track and report on quality indicators heavily influenced by nursing action. NDNQI was established as a standardized approach to evaluating nursing performance in relation to patient outcomes. It provides a database and quality measurement program to track clinical performance and to compare nursing quality measures against other hospital data at the national, regional, and state levels. Nursing-sensitive quality indicators help establish evidence-based practice guidelines in the inpatient and outpatient settings to enhance quality care outcomes and initiate quality improvement educational programs, outreach, and protocol development. The quality indicators the NDNQI monitors are organized into three categories: structure, process, and outcome. Theorist Avedis Donabedian first identified these categories. Donabedians theory of quality health care focused on the links between quality outcomes and the structures and processes of care (Grove et al., 2018). Nurses must be knowledgeable about the indicators their workplaces monitor. Some nurses deliver direct patient care that leads to a monitored outcome. Other nurses may be involved in data collection and analysis. In addition, monitoring organizations, including managed care entities, exist to gather data from individual organizations to analyze overall industry quality. All of these roles are important to advance quality and safety outcomes. Preparation As you begin to prepare this assessment you are encouraged to complete the Donabedian Quality Assessment Framework activity. Quality health care delivery requires systematic action. Completion of this will help you succeed with the assessment as you consider how the triad of structure (such as the hospital, clinic, provider qualifications/organizational characteristics) and process (such as the delivery/coordination/education/protocols/practice style or standard of care) may be modified to achieve quality outcomes. This assessment requires you to prepare an 810 minute narrated tutorial (with optional video) for new nurses on the importance of nursing-sensitive quality indicators. To successfully prepare for your assessment, you will need to complete the following preparatory activities: Review the nursing-sensitive quality indicators presented in the Assessment 04 -: Informatics and Nursing Sensitive Quality Indicators [PDF] Download Assessment 04 -: Informatics and Nursing Sensitive Quality Indicators [PDF]resource and select one nursing-sensitive quality indicator to use as the focus for this assessment. Conduct independent research on the most current information about the selected nursing-sensitive quality indicator. Interview a professional colleague or contact who is familiar with quality monitoring and how technology can help to collect and report quality indicator data. You do not need to submit the transcript of your conversation, but do integrate what you learned from the interview into the audio tutorial. Consider these questions for your interview: What is your experience with collecting data and entering it into a database? What challenges have you experienced? How does your organization share with the nursing staff and other members of the health care system the quality improvement monitoring results? What role do bedside nurses and other frontline staff have in entering the data? For example, do staff members enter the information into an electronic medical record for extraction? Or do they enter it into another system? How effective is this process? Recording Your Presentation To prepare to record your presentation, complete the following: Set up and test your microphone or headset and webcam using the installation instructions provided by the manufacturer. You only need to use the headset if your audio is not clear and high quality when captured by the microphone. Practice using the equipment to ensure the audio and video quality is sufficient. Review Using Kaltura for Kaltura to record your presentation. View Creating a Presentation: A Guide to Writing and Speaking. This video addresses the primary areas involved in creating effective audiovisual presentations. You can return to this resource throughout the process of creating your presentation to view the tutorial appropriate for you at each stage. Practice presenting using PowerPoint, Keynote, Slides, Canva or another presentation platform. Notes: You may use other tools to record your tutorial. You will, however, need to consult Using Kaltura for instructions on how to upload your recorded tutorial into the courseroom, or you must provide a working link your instructor can easily access. If you require the use of assistive technology or alternative communication methods to participate in this activity, please contact DisabilityServices@Capella.edu to request accommodations. Instructions For this assessment, first review the nursing-sensitive quality indicators presented in the Assessment 04 – Informatics and Nursing Sensitive Quality Indicators [PDF] Download Assessment 04 – Informatics and Nursing Sensitive Quality Indicators [PDF]resource and select one nursing-sensitive quality indicator to use as the focus for this assessment. Next, imagine you are a member of a Quality Improvement Council at any type of health care system, whether acute, ambulatory, home health, managed care, et cetera. Your Council has identified that newly hired nurses would benefit from comprehensive training on the importance of nursing-sensitive quality indicators. The Council would like the training to address how this information is collected and disseminated across the organization. It would also like the training to describe the role nurses have in accurate reporting and high-quality results. The council prefers a recorded presentation using PowerPoint or a similar application. This will allow the education department to show the presentation during new hire training. As a result of this need, you offer to create a presentation orienting new hires to these topics. You know that you will need speakers notes to guide your recording. You plan to incorporate the insights you learned from conducting an interview with an authority on quality monitoring and the use of technology to collect and report quality indicator data. You determine that you will cover the following topics in your presentation: Introduction: Nursing-Sensitive Quality Indicator What is the National Database of Nursing-Sensitive Quality Indicators? What are nursing-sensitive quality indicators? Which particular quality indicator did you select to address in your tutorial? Why is this quality indicator important to monitor? Be sure to address the impact of this indicator on the quality of care and patient safety. Why do new nurses need to be familiar with this particular quality indicator when providing patient care? Collection and Distribution of Quality Indicator Data According to your interview and other resources, how does your organization collect data on this quality indicator? How does the organization disseminate aggregate data? What role do nurses play in supporting accurate reporting and high-quality results? As an example, consider the importance of accurately entering data regarding nursing interventions. Enhancing Outcomes Explain how your health care organization uses nursing-sensitive quality indicators to enhance patient safety, patient care outcomes, and organizational performance reports. Describe how a nursing-sensitive quality indicator establishes evidence-based practice guidelines for nurses to follow when using patient care technologies to enhance patient safety, satisfaction, and outcomes. After building your presentation in PowerPoint, Keynote, Slides, Canva, or another presentation platform, practice delivering your tutorial several times before recording. When you record your presentation be sure your slides are visible in the recording. Important: Record your narrated presentation in Kaltura. (Do not record and submit the narration in PowerPoint because your file will become too large to upload.) Additional Requirements Communication: Deliver a professional, effective tutorial on a selected quality indicator that engages new nurses and motivates them to accurately report quality data in a timely fashion. Length: 810 minute recording. Use Kaltura to record the narration and upload your recording to the courseroom or provide a working link your instructor can access. Script: A separate document with the script or speaker’s notes is required. Important: Submissions that do not include the script or speaker’s notes will be returned as a non-performance. References: Cite a minimum of three scholarly and/or authoritative sources. APA: Submit, along with the recording, a separate reference page that follows APA style and formatting guidelines. For an APA refresher, consult the Evidence and APA page on Campus. Reference Grove, S. K., Gray, J. R., Jay, G. W., Jay, H. M., & Burns, N. (2018).
