  • Community Health Assessment and Plan

    Using your community health profile, policy analysis, and stakeholder mapping, develop the final piece of your CHAP: the community health intervention plan. This plan should include evidence-based strategies to address the identified health disparities, promote health equity, and improve overall community health related to the top three population health priorities you identified. Address, too, those necessary resources, potential barriers, and methods for evaluating the success of your proposed interventions.

    In the context of community health assessment and planning, embracing change and transformation theories can lead to the development of more effective and targeted interventions that address the unique needs of various population groups. By fostering a culture of continuous improvement and innovation, health care organizations can better collaborate with community stakeholders to design and implement strategies that promote better health outcomes for all. This holistic approach to population health management not only benefits individual patients and health care providers but also contributes to building healthier, more resilient communities overall.

    Where do we go from here? Looking ahead, technological advancements have the potential to transform both private and public health in ways that will increase access to care, enhance quality and safety, and support more equitable health outcomes. Innovations such as telehealth, remote monitoring, and artificial intelligence will play a significant role in shaping the health care landscape. As organizations continue to build cultures of health and wellness, they will also need to adapt to these technological advances and leverage them to create more efficient and patient-centered care. This forward-thinking approach will ultimately contribute to the overall well-being of communities and promote a healthier future for all, emphasizing the importance of population health management.

    For this assessment, you will use the information from your previous assessments to create a CHAP presentation that is ready for publication and distribution to community stakeholders. Based on your community health profile, policy analysis, and stakeholder mapping, you will develop the final piece of your CHAP: the community health intervention plan. This plan should include evidence-based strategies to address the identified health disparities, promote health equity, and improve overall community health related to the top three population health priorities you identified. You will also consider the resources needed, potential barriers, and methods for evaluating the success of your proposed interventions.

  • Qualitative research in healthcare / Hospital-acquired condi…

    Introduction Qualitative research uses inductive reasoning based on an exploration or observation. The focus is typically on the researcher investigating the reasons why something happened. The information comes from interviews or observations. The answers emerge as more information is discovered. You could relate it to the work of a detective who gathers facts and organizes them to find patterns that lead to explanations for events. In this assignment, you will continue to expand your understanding of a research framework in the context of qualitative research by analyzing and evaluating research questions in qualitative studies. You will also continue to analyze the interrelated elements of a research study, making the connection between theory, problem, purpose, and, now, qualitative research questions and design. Summary For this assignment, you will craft a qualitative research question based on the HAC that you selected for the Research Problem and Purpose Statements assignment. You will also examine qualitative methodologies and data collection strategies that would enable you to answer your research question. There is no length requirement for this assignment. Most submissions that fully address all scoring guide criteria will be 25 pages long. Instructions For this assignment, it is suggested that you build on the work that you did in the Research Problem and Purpose Statements assignment. This assignment has two distinct parts. Part 1: Qualitative Research Question For this first part of the assignment, you will formulate a research question that is appropriate for a research project that will use qualitative methodologies. Remember the HAC that you used in your Research Problem and Purpose Statements assignment for this course. Your research question should align with the problem and purpose statements that you developed in this assignment. A well-written research question should be a single statement. When examining or creating qualitative research questions, the following checklist may be useful. Qualitative Research Question Checklist Does the purpose statement fit logically with the problem statement? Does the purpose statement use similar words to the problem statement, or does it seem to address a different topic? Do the research questions align with the method and design of the study? For instance, are words like perception used that would automatically reject a quantitative study? Do questions seek to describe responses to the variables described in the study? Do the questions begin with the word why? Do the questions focus on a single phenomenon? Do the questions include exploratory verbs? Is the language non-directional? Are the questions open-ended? Do the questions specify the participants and research site? Relevant Scoring Guide Criteria Formulate a qualitative research question. Communicate in a manner that is scholarly, professional, and respectful of the diversity, dignity, and integrity of others and is consistent with expectations for healthcare professionals. Part 2: Qualitative Methods and Data Collection For this second part of the assignment, you will draw on your readings about qualitative methods and data collection to first identify specific qualitative methodologies that will enable you to answer your research questions. You will then discuss specific qualitative data collection tools or strategies that are appropriate for answering your research questions. Questions to consider when looking for tools and strategies and tools include: Which research question are you specifically trying to answer? How does the specific HAC affect the types of tools and strategies that would work best? How does the healthcare setting where the research project will occur affect the types of tools and strategies that would work best? This part should include a review of why it is important to a potential research plan as a whole to ensure that your data collection plan is relevant to your chosen methodology. This section should be 25 pages long, depending on the level of detail required to fully present your methodologies and data collection tools and strategies. Relevant Scoring Guide Criteria Identify relevant qualitative methodologies that will support answering a research question. Describe qualitative data collection tools or strategies that are appropriate for answering research questions. Explain the importance of methodologically relevant data collection to a research plan as a whole. Communicate in a manner that is scholarly, professional, and respectful of the diversity, dignity, and integrity of others and is consistent with expectations for healthcare professionals.

    Discussion Cases

    Jessica Mass, a phlebotomist, drew a blood sample from Glenn Ross, a 30-year-old patient of Dr. Williams, to test for AIDS. As Glenn was leaving the office, his friend Harry came in and they greeted each other. Jessica took Harry into an exam room, and in the course of making conversation, he told her that he was a good friend of Glenns. He asked Jessica why Glenn was seeing the doctor. Jessica responded that it was just for a test for AIDS.

    When Harry arrived back home, he called Glenn and told him what the phlebotomist had said. Glenn called Dr. Williams and complained about Jessicas action and said that he planned to sue Dr. Williams. Dr. Williams dismissed Jessica. Dr. Williams told Jessica that if Glenn did bring a lawsuit against her and she lost, then she would sue Jessica.

    What should Jessica have done or said when Harry asked about Glenns reason for being in the office?

    Did Dr. Williams have a legal right to sue Jessica if she was sued and lost?

    What important right did Jessica violate?

    Denise, an LPN, works in a nursing home on the 3:00 to 11:00 pm shift. She is instructed to prepare medications to give to her own patients as they eat their evening meal. She is also told that it is the policy of the nursing home that she will also prepare all the medications to be distributed in the morning by the LPN who will pass medications at both breakfast and lunch the next day. Denise is told that the reason for doing this is because she will have more time, as the evening shift is not as busy as the morning shift. Denise does not want to object because she really needs the job.

    What are the potential problems with this policy?

    What should Denise do?

    If a patient is harmed by receiving the incorrect medicine, who would be charged with the negligence?

    David, an 89-year-old war hero with no living relatives, drove himself at night to a local hospital when he experienced shortness of breath and a headache. When he entered the emergency room (ER) he was placed in a wheelchair and briefly seen by an ER doctor. He was told that he could not be admitted because he was a veteran and had to go to a VA hospital, which was 90 minutes away, for treatment. David was wheeled into the hallway to wait for transportation to a VA hospital. The night shift was very busy. After sitting in the hall for five hours, David complained that he needed to lie down. The ER staff, who had been trying to move him to a VA hospital with no luck, finally transferred him by ambulance to a local nursing home. David had a massive stroke shortly after being admitted to the nursing home and died six weeks later.

    Does there appear to be negligence in this case?

    In your opinion, who might have acted on behalf of David?

    In your opinion, would contributory negligence be a defense if there is a malpractice lawsuit relating to Davids death?

  • Research

    Write me a research question on anything related to healthcare in the US. I’m thinking more like mental health.

  • Communication and Negotiation

    In a 3-5 page paper using APA formatting, respond to the following questions.

    1. The Board of Directors of Sebago Lake Medical Group (a fictitious organization) has approved a new compensation program that will affect all 184 non-provider employees. Some employees will receive a significant increase in salary, some will receive a small increase, and some will have no increase. Develop a communication plan to inform all employees of how this change will impact them. For this case study material from the textbook and lecture notes will be helpful, but independent thinking is encouraged. Put yourself in the role of a senior leader or a board member; how can senior leadership explain this important change to engender understanding and support? Also, put yourself in the role of an employee affected by the change; what do you want to know? How do you want to be informed? What communication methods would increase your understanding and support?
    2. Explain to a new employee the importance of participating in system-wide committees and the value of networking with others within and outside of the organization.
    3. Compare and contrast the three strategies for negotiation. Which is the preferred strategy, and why? Discuss how influence can be used both positively and negatively, formally and informally.
    4. Look back on the case study from Week 2, The New Department Director (page 51). Explain how Dr. Grant may negotiate with team members to solve the problem(s) and identify the communication and interpersonal skills needed. What negotiation tactics should Dr. Grant utilize? (Refer to information in the text on negotiation tactics on pages 177 180.)

  • Camp Fire

    Camp Fire, 2018

    The California Wildfire of 2018 called the Camp Fire was the deadliest and most destructive wildfire in California’s history and the most expensive natural disaster in the world in 2018 in terms of insured losses. Named after Camp Creek Road, its place of origin, the fire started on Thursday, November 8, 2018, in Northern California’s Butte County. Ignited by a faulty electric transmission line, the fire originated above several communities and an east wind drove the fire downhill through developed areas. The fire caused at least 85 civilian fatalities, with one person still missing as of August 2, 2019, and injured 12 civilians, two prison inmate firefighters, and three other firefighters. It covered an area of 153,336 acres, and destroyed 18,804 structures, with most of the destruction occurring within the first four hours.

    Adventist Health Feather River, also known as Feather River Hospital, is a 101-bed acute care hospital located in the town of Paradise, in Butte County, California, with a wide array of outpatient departments and services designed to meet the health care needs of Paradise, Magalia, and neighboring communities. Feather River Hospital was severely damaged in the November 2018 Camp Fire and is currently closed. The hospital was forced to evacuate after the fire jumped a road going to the hospital. Some people were trapped under Adventist Health Feather River in a tunnel until they could escape. Employees at Adventist Health Feather River evacuated 60 patients the morning of November 8, 2018. The patients were transported in ambulances, by helicopter, and in employee vehicles.

    Your assignment: In a MEMO format, in 900-1000 words, please discuss the following about the Camp Fire 2018 Disaster Response:

    • What were three areas that went well with the response?
    • What were three significant challenges with the response?
    • What were three ways in which the response could have been improved?
    • During Week One, we discussed Fayol’s Five Functions of Management; not necessarily in this order: (a) Planning, (b) organizing, (c) coordinating, (d) commanding, and (e) controlling. As Adventist Health Feather River Hospital’s Chief Operating Officer (COO), how would you augment your healthcare facilitys disaster preparedness? Discuss how you would utilize Fayol’s commanding function, to enhance your facilities’ disaster preparedness, response, and continuity of operations (COOP) plan. You must reference Fayol to receive credit for this section.

    Ensure that your assignment is in the APA 7th edition format with a cover page, separating your sections by the appropriate APA Level Headings. Also, make sure you include a reference page and at least five references.
