Case Study, Chapter 25, Professional Nursing Associations

We are fortunate as professional Registered Nurses to have a vast array of choices to us. With that being stated we also have a professional duty to be active members of our professional associations to further evolve our careers on that of our profession.

Please answer the following:

1. Explain how professional associations enhance the nursing profession.
2. What professional associations do you know the most about and describe.
3. What professional organization do you plan in participating in and why?

Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC). (2010). Introduction. Retrieved from 

Use what you learned from the video, the module’s required readings, and your own research to answer the following questions in your paper. 

Discuss the purpose of accreditation. Has the process of accreditation really improved the quality of care being provided to patients?

Identify and discuss the process of accreditation for the chosen agency.

Discuss some of the standards they look for when they go on-site. Are the standards rigorous or vague?

1. Do these agencies make the results of their surveys public? How could knowing this information be beneficial to patients?

The purpose of this assignment is to assess the Mission Statements of two different facilities. The two facilities are:

Sentara Martha Jefferson Hospital in Charlottesville, VA 

https://www.sentara.com/charlottesville-virginia/hospitalslocations/locations/martha-jefferson-hospital.aspx

• Bon Secours Southside Medical Center in Petersburg, VA 

https://www.bonsecours.com/locations/hospitals-medical-centers/richmond/southside-regional-medical-center

• Discuss the following:

Describe the population, within the area of the state, that is served by each facility to include the SES, ethnic and racial percentages, the any other demographics that describe the population. You can find this information a various state and federal websites.

• Contrast and Compare the Mission Statements of each facility (NOTE: contrast is how the  two sites  are different and compare is how they are alike!)

Review the website and discuss at least two examples of information on that website that reflects the Mission Statement.

Expect the interview to last one hour.

2. Qualitative information: Provide a thoughtful and thorough written description of the interviewee. Use language which is rich in description as an introduction to the interviewee. Feel free to include interviewee’s thoughts an opinions.

you?

The purpose of this assignment is to analyze a health care risk management program.

Conduct research on approaches to risk management processes, policies, and concerns in your current or anticipated professional arena to find an example of a risk management plan. Look for a plan with sufficient content to be able to complete this assignment successfully. In a 1,000‐1,250-word paper, provide an analysis of the risk management plan that includes the following:

1. Summary of the type of risk management plan you selected (new employee, specific audience, community‐focused, etc.) and your rationale for selecting that example. Describe the health care organization to which the plan applies and the role risk management plays in that setting.
2. Description of the standard administrative steps and processes in a typical health care organization’s risk management program compared to the administrative steps and processes you identify in your selected example plan. (Note: For standard risk management policies and procedures, look up the MIPPA-approved accrediting body that regulates the risk management standards in your chosen health care sector, and consider federal, state, and local statutes as well.)
3. Analysis of the key agencies and organizations that regulate the administration of safe health care in your area of concentration and an evaluation of the roles each one plays in the risk management oversight process.
4. Evaluation of your selected risk management plan’s compliance with the standards of its corresponding MIPPA-approved accrediting body relevant to privacy, health care worker safety, and patient safety.
5. Proposed recommendations or changes you would implement in your risk management program example to enhance, improve, or secure the aforementioned compliance standards.

In addition to your textbook, you are required to support your analysis with a minimum of three peer‐reviewed references.

Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.

This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

You need to be aware of the intertwining nature of management and leadership as you look for a management position. Traditionally, leadership is viewed as a subset of management. Management without leadership lacks inspiration to drive change. Employers generally include management skills and leadership expectations within job applications and descriptions.

Open your web browser and search for a management position within health care. You can also search in your local newspaper or job board. Use the following keywords when completing your search online:

“management positions in health care”

• “health care administrator positions”
• “health care management”
• Using the job description or requirements of the jobs you searched, explain the skills and characteristics required for each of the following:

Identify keywords found within the job posting that represent a management skill or characteristic.

• Identify keywords found within the job posting that represent a leadership skill or characteristic.
• Include details about the position and where you found the one you are reviewing in this paper.
• Explain what characteristics are found in a leader.
• What are the traits of an effective leader?
• How do these traits support you in becoming an effective leader in a management position?
• Examine the relationship between personal characteristics and effective leadership.
• How does an individual’s perspective influence their leadership style?
• Please be sure to specifically identify the job you researched and include the source if appropriate
