Imagine that you have recently been hired as a research assistant to the Secretary of Health and Human Services. To keep the administration informed on healthcare issues, your supervisor has asked you to research options for changing the Medicare system. Current concerns stem from the fear that if Medicare remains an open-ended entitlement program, its share of the federal budget will continue to increase over time.

Using your best economic reasoning, prepare a brief memo to the secretary highlighting the concern with one of the issues identified below. The memo should discuss the origin of the issue, its impact on the physician, as well as its impact on the ability to provide quality care to the patient. Then, identify a proposed solution.

Article AnalysisStudents will be required to explore the HFMA web site for articles of significant size in the HFM Journal or HFMA Leadership magazines. Editorials, blogs, or opinion pieces are not accepted. Analysis should answer the following questions in narrative form:

1.What key questions or problems does the author raise and why?

2.What information, data, or evidence does the author present to support the purpose of the article?

3.What key conclusions is the author coming to? Are those conclusions justified?

4.What are the implications of the author’s reasoning for the field of health administration

Article analysis assignments must be typed, double–spaced, using 12 point Times New Roman font, with 1” margins, and your name and paper title as a header in the upper right hand corner. A copy of the article must accompany the analysis. Papers will be graded based on grammar, format

Assignment: Study Guide Forum

Abnormal brain development or damage at an
early age can lead to neurodevelopmental disorders. Within this group of
disorders, some are resolvable with appropriate and timely
interventions, either pharmacological or nonpharmacological, while other
disorders are chronic and need to be managed throughout the lifespan.

For this Assignment, you will develop a study
guide for an assigned disorder and share it with your colleagues. In
sum, these study guides will be a powerful tool in preparing for your
certification exam.

To Prepare

• Your Instructor will assign you to a specific neurodevelopmental disorder from the DSM-5.
• Research your assigned disorder using the Walden Library. Then,
  develop an organizational scheme for the important information about the
  disorder.

The Assignment

Create a study guide for your assigned disorder.
Your study guide should be in the form of an outline with references,
and you should incorporate visual elements such as concept maps, charts,
diagrams, images, color coding, mnemonics, and/or flashcards. Be
creative! It should not be in the format of an APA paper. Your guide
should be informed by the DSM-5 but also supported by at least three other scholarly resources.

Areas of importance you should address, but are not limited to, are:

• Signs and symptoms according to the DSM-5
• Differential diagnoses
• Incidence
• Development and course
• Prognosis
• Considerations related to culture, gender, age
• Pharmacological treatments, including any side effects
• Nonpharmacological treatments
• Diagnostics and labs
• Comorbidities
• Legal and ethical considerations
• Pertinent patient education considerations.
• MY ASSIGNED TOPIC FOR THIS ASSIGNMENT IS EXPRESSIVE AND MIXED RECEPTIVE – EXPRESSIVE LANGUAGE DISORDERS.

Scenario

For this assessment, assume you are a nurse attending a meeting of your state’s nurses association. A nurse informaticist conducted a presentation on her role and its impact on positive patient and organizational outcomes in her workplace. You realize that your organization is undergoing many technological changes. You believe this type of role could provide many benefits to your organization.

You decide to pursue proposing a nurse informaticist role in your organization. You speak to your chief nursing officer (CNO) and human resources (HR) manager, who ask you to prepare a 4–5 page evidence-based proposal to support the new role. In this way, they can make an informed decision as to whether the addition of such a role could justify the return on investment (ROI). They need your proposal before an upcoming fiscal meeting. This is not an essay, but instead, it is a proposal to create a new Nurse Informaticist position.

One important part of this assessment is the justification of the need for a nurse informaticist in a health care organization and references from relevant and timely scholarly or professional resources to support the justification for creating this nurse informaticist position. The term justify means to show or prove that the nurse informaticist position brings value to the organization. This justification must include evidence from the literature to support that this position will provide a return on investment for the organization.

Preparation

To successfully prepare for this assessment, you will need to complete these preparatory activities:

• Review assessment resources and activities.
  • Conduct independent research on the nursing knowledge and skills necessary to interact with health information and patient care technology.
  • Focus your research on current resources available through peer-reviewed articles, professional websites, government websites, professional blogs, wikis, job boards, and so on.
• Consult the BSN Program Library Research Guide for help in identifying scholarly and authoritative sources.
• Interview peers in your network who are considered information technology experts.
  • Ask them about how information technology advances are impacting patient care at the bedside, at the organizational level, and beyond.

Proposal Format

The chief nursing officer (CNO) and human resources (HR) manager have asked you to include the following headings in your proposal and to be sure to address the bullets following each heading:

Nursing Informatics and the Nurse Informaticist

• What is nursing informatics?
• What is the role of the nurse informaticist?

Nurse Informaticists and Other Health Care Organizations

• What is the experience of other health care organizations with nurse informaticists?
• How do these nurse informaticists interact with the rest of the nursing staff and the interdisciplinary team?

Impact of Full Nurse Engagement in Health Care Technology

• How does fully engaging nurses in health care technology impact:
  • Patient care?
  • Protected health information (security, privacy, and confidentiality)?
    • In this section, you will explain evidence-based strategies that the nurse informaticist and interdisciplinary team can use to effectively manage patients’ protected health information, particularly privacy, security, and confidentiality. Evidence-based means that they are supported by evidence from scholarly sources.
  • Workflow?
  • Costs and return on investment?

Opportunities and Challenges

• What are the opportunities and challenges for nurses and the interdisciplinary team with the addition of a nurse informaticist role?
  • How can the interdisciplinary team collaborate to improve quality care outcomes through technology?

Summary of Recommendations

• What are 3–4 key takeaways from your proposal about the recommended nurse informaticist role that you want the CNO and the HR manager to remember?
  • This is the section where the justification for the implementation of the nursing informaticist role is addressed. Remember to include evidence from the literature to support your recommendation.

Additional Requirements

• Written communication: Ensure written communication is free of errors that detract from the overall message.
• Submission length: 4–5 double-spaced pages, in addition to title and references pages.
• Font: Times New Roman, 12 point.
• Citations and References: Cite a minimum of three current scholarly and/or authoritative sources to support your ideas. In addition, cite a minimum of one current professional blog or website to support your central ideas. Current means no more than five years old.
