Assessment Introduction: The emphasis in this assessment is on your understanding of the ethical, legal and professional obligations of a registered nurse (RN), as outlined in the eight principles of the Code of Conduct (NCNZ, 2012). You will demonstrate that understanding through an exploration of, and reflection on, one interaction between a registered nurse and a patient/client you observed during a clinical placement. The interaction you select can be either positive or negative for the client/patient. Assignment Tasks: Task One: The interaction (300 words) Briefly summarise one interaction between a registered nurse and client/patient you observed during a clinical placement. You must ensure anonymity and confidentiality of all the parties and the clinical setting when developing your summary. The interaction you select can be either positive or negative for the client/patient but must be sufficiently complex to enable an indepth analysis of the ethical, legal and professional obligations of a registered nurse. Task Two: Evaluate the interaction against four (4) principles of the code of conduct. (1800 words) Identify which four of the eight principles in the code are MOST applicable. Then, For each principle, explain your understanding of the principle AND objectively evaluate the RN’s practice against this principle. Focus this discussion by choosing just one (1) or two (2) of the applicable standards. Support your discussion with appropriate literature. Task Three: The impact for professional nursing (300 words) Based on your overall evaluation of this interaction, briefly discuss how the practice of the registered nurse you observed contributes to, or detracts from, professional nursing within New Zealand.

Professional socialization relates to the manner in which we learn the roles and functions of being a nurse once we enter the healthcare system. What are some of the ways this socialization occurs in your place of employment, and do you believe it leads to effective assumption of the nursing role?

Professional socialization relates to the manner in which we learn the roles and functions of being a nurse once we enter the healthcare system. What are some of the ways this socialization occurs in your place of employment, and do you believe it leads to effective assumption of the nursing role? This socialization occurs in a patriarchal healthcare system that still remains predominantly male physician-based. Discuss the impact, you believe, this has on socialization to the nursing role.                   

Need at least 2 references in APA style.

Also I did attach a source from our book that we use in the class.

Thank you very much.Files: fwcrydotv6.docx

A Stimulus for Health Information Technology in Health Care Organizations

Application: A Stimulus for Health Information Technology in Health Care Organizations

The HITECH provision of ARRA will facilitate the use of new health information technology in a range of health care organizations, from hospitals to physicians’ practices. To encourage a timely transition, HITECH includes incentives for providers and organizations based on how quickly and how well they incorporate certain kinds of technology in their practices.

Prepare for this Application Assignment as follows:

  • In light of this week’s Learning Resources, what do you think are major challenges facing health care organizations as they seek to interpret and implement ARRA/HITECH?
  • Select a particular health care setting, such as a physician’s practice, academic hospital, or outpatient clinic, and consider the management implications of ARRA/HITECH in your selected setting. Do further research in the Walden Library and elsewhere online to understand the issues facing this type of organization as they expand their use of health information technology. (You will be examining the technological issues in some detail later in the course; for this Application Assignment, focus on the breadth of management challenges that ARRA/HITECH raises.)
  • What solutions have been found? How might you, as a manager in this particular setting, contribute to the process? What tools and knowledge would you need to be effective?

Then write a 1- to 2-page paper that addresses the following:

  • Summarize the purpose of ARRA/HITECH and the key benefits it offers your selected health care setting.
  • What kinds of management challenges does ARRA/HITECH pose to this kind of organization? How are these being addressed?
  • What additional solutions might you propose, and why?

The Failed Project Case Study will be used to complete the case analysis for module 5. Refer also to PMBOK Chapter 6 & 7:Time & Cost
One of the best ways to learn is to analyze a case, a particular situation that exemplifies the issues, strengths, and weaknesses that are faced when actually managing a project. This is a proven learning tool shown to reinforce knowledge and understanding of material. The case studies focus on two important aspects of project management, aspects that are used to judge the success of projects.
Time and cost is the first case study because projects have specified budgets and timeframes which the project manager must, at the very least, be able to meet.
Framework:

  • Introduce the case and offer a summary of the issues and the main concerns in the case.
  • Explain how the issues and concerns could impact the success of the project.
  • Drawing from the PMBOK Guide and other course material, and most importantly your knowledge and expertise of project management, critique how the case was handled. What was done right, what went wrong, what could have been done differently, why, and how?
  • Explain what you learned about project management from the case.

Requirements

  • Must reference theory, concepts, material covered in the course, and Project Material in general.
  • Must be in APSA, APA, MLA, or in approved stated citation/reference format with in-text citations and a bibliography/work cited page.
  • Must be at least 3 pages in length (not including the title page or reference page) , double-spaced, 1 inch margins, with 12 point fonts, Times New Roman.

Appraising the Literature

For the DNP-prepared nurse, it is important to hone skills related to reviewing and evaluating research literature to implement evidence-based practices. As you examine epidemiological research, in particular, it is essential to ask, “What are the strengths and weakness of the research method(s)? Are the data analysis and interpretation sound? Is there any evidence of bias?” This Discussion provides you and your colleagues valuable practice in critically analyzing research literature.

To prepare:

  • With      this week’s Learning Resources in mind, reflect on the importance of      analyzing epidemiological research studies.
  • Critically      appraise the Oppenheimer (2010) and Elliott, Smith, Penny, Smith and      Chambers (1999) articles presented in the Learning Resources using      Appendix A in Epidemiology for Public Health Practice as a guide.
  • Determine      the strengths and weaknesses of the research methods and data analysis of      each study.
  • Ask      yourself, “Is any bias evident in either study? What did the researchers      do to control for potential bias?”
  • Finally,      consider the importance of data interpretation in epidemiologic literature      and the issues that may arise if potential confounding factors are not      considered.

By tomorrow 04/05/2018 3pm, write a minimum of 550 words in APA format with at least 3 scholarly references from the list of required readings below. Include the level one headings as numbered below”

Post a cohesive scholarly response that addresses the following:

1) Appraise the Oppenheimer (2010) and Elliott et al. (1999) articles, summarizing the strengths and weaknesses of each study (see attached files for those articles).

2) Analyze potential sources of bias in each study and suggest strategies for minimizing bias.

3) Suggest possible confounding variables that may have influenced the results of each study.

Promoting Health Care Quality

Project: Promoting Health Care Quality  Section 3:    
Quality Measurement and Assessment  Measuring and assessing quality provides a foundation for identifying needs for improvement, developing effective interventions, and then monitoring progress toward desired results.   In the Sadeghi, Barzi, Mikhail, and Shabot text, the authors assert that an effort to improve quality “calls for setting outcome and performance targets (goals and expectations) beginning with the end in mind, and then formulating initiatives and actions (processes) that can serve as a bridge to take the organization from its current performance to its desired performance” (p. 182).   Having this “end in mind” can provide justification for dedicating valuable resources toward the effort, and help to lay a clear, concrete path that takes the organization from uncovering gaps between current performance and evidence-based targets to actually achieving those goals.  In this section of the Course Project, you focus on what you would measure—and how you would measure it—relative to your previously identified quality improvement issue. Note: This section of the Course Project will serve as the Portfolio Assignment for this course.       Course Project: Section 3: Quality Measurement and Assessment: write a 3-5 page paper to introduce your quality improvement plan. For more details on this project, see the Week 7 Project area for specifics to include for this paper.     I have attached my paper from week 4 for the continuation of the project.     To prepare: •Review the Learning Resources. Also conduct a search of the literature related to your selected quality improvement issue and complete the Evidence Matrix (provided in this week’s Learning Resources).   •Evaluate the evidence presented in the research literature and the quality standards proposed by various organizations, including the IOM’s six aims for quality improvement.   •Based on this review and your knowledge of the organization that you have selected, determine appropriate measures and indicators of performance related to your identified quality improvement issue.   •Consider how you could gather and use historical evidence of the organization’s performance related to the quality improvement issue. Also consider methods for gathering and assessing current quantitative and qualitative data, including those currently in use by the organization (e.g., chart audit data, staff surveys, quality indicators that are monitored, observations). If possible, examine actual data to assess your selected organization’s performance related to the issue.   •Think about what, specifically, you would like to achieve related to this issue. Establish realistic, evidence-based quality performance targets.   •Analyze gap(s) between the organization’s current performance and the performance targets.   •As you do this, you may wish to create a graphic organizer/alignment chart for your own use that illustrates:   •The measures and indicators that you would evaluate   •Current and historical data related to this quality issue—either actual data or methods for how you would collect and analyze the data   •Methods for collecting and analyzing data in the future (including when you would do this)   •Realistic, evidence-based targets
