Scenario 
A family practice that serves over 4,500 patients is owned by three brothers, all general practitioner medical doctors who have been closely watching how the new Patient Protection and Affordable  Care Act (ACA or “Obamacare”) is developing, especially with the ongoing changes to the eligibilities  of coverage for patients and reimbursements that now require their facility to change its systems and processes for compliance.As a health care consultant, you have been retained by the family practice to perform a thorough audit and analysis of the facility, including its systems, processes, and procedures, with an emphasis on record 
keeping and coding/billing practices. You have also spent some time with the owners of the family practice discussing what the future holds  regarding the types of treatments, demographics of patients, and the effect of technology on the 
methodologies of patient treatment. Within this context, the client asks you to provide the following:
Questions
:
1.When comparing the overall health care system in America, how does it compare to just 40 years ago?
2.Provide some examples of what specifically is critical for the health care organization to consider regarding how treatments are performed on patients.
3. What technological advancements do you predict in health care in the next 15 years, especially those  that can be opportunities for a family medical clinic scenario?

6052 Discussion 4
In the best-selling book, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks (Skloot, 2010), the author highlights the true story of an African-American woman who died in 1951 from cervical cancer. What makes her story unique is that prior to her death, cells from her tumor were removed and successfully grown in a petri dish. This was the first time scientists were able to successfully replicate cells outside the body, and it is estimated that billions of Lacks’ cells have been used in medical research. However, Henrietta Lacks was never asked for permission to take a sample and her family was never made aware of the widespread use of her cells. Although the culturing of her cells has been pivotal for advancing research, strong ethical concerns later arose about using these cells without patient or family approval.
This week’s readings describe historical examples of unethical research, such as a study of syphilis among African-American men in which treatment was withheld and a study in which live cancer cells were injected into elderly patients. Today, stricter controls that seek to protect study participants are placed on researchers, but breaches still occur. Careful attention must be given toward preventing unethical behavior. In this Discussion, you explore ethical considerations and issues in research.
· Select a current health-related case involving research ethics. (If none come to mind, browse the Internet to familiarize yourself with recent cases.)
· As you review the case that you have selected, reflect on the ethical principles discussed in “What Are the Major Ethical Issues in Conducting Research?” article found in this week’s Learning Resources. Which principles were breached in the case you have identified?
Post a description of the case that you selected and the ethical issues involved. Analyze the ethical principles that were breached by the researchers or organizations in your selected case as well as the possible cause of the breach(es). Suggest how the research might have been conducted differently to avoid or minimize the ethical problems. Discuss how research can be done on sensitive issues while still protecting the rights of the research subjects.

Medical surgical disorders case study nursing
Objectives of this assignment are to:

  1. Apply the theoretical knowledge about medical surgical disorders and the drug treatment to actual clinical practice.
  2. Compare and contrast expected presentations of the disorder and use of pharma-cotherapeutics with the disease and the drug treatment used in an actual client case.
  3. Critically analyze the pathophysiologic and pharmacotherapeutic components of an actual clinical case presentation.
  4. Synthesize knowledge gained about disease and the drug treatment by creating an appropriate case study of a selected disease process and drug treatment.
  5. Improve critical thinking and communication skills through writing and developing a case study.

 
Guidelines for writing a case study:  This must be done individually

  1. Choose 1 area studied in this course from weeks 1 and two, write a case study based on an actual client you cared for during the adult health clinical rotation, or base it on a disease topic discussed in class.
  2. You must protect client confidentiality in the case study. Names or initials will not be used, nor will other identifying information such as the health care facility or city, among others. Client’s age, gender, and race may be included.
  3. The case study must be submitted through the course shell in the Drop Box labeled, “Missed Clinical Assignments”on or before the due date. NO EXCEPTIONS. The course coordinator will determine the due date for the case study.
  4. Students are required to support research material with appropriate citations using current APA format. Resources must include at least 3 nursing journals.
  5. Include a title page, table of contents, an abstract, and a reference page.
  6. The case study will include the following components:
  • Demographic data (protecting confidentiality)
  • Pertinent past medical history and current diagnosis
  • Clinical presentation: Signs/symptoms, physical findings upon assessment
  • Description of medical diagnosis (including pathophysiology & nursing needs)
  • Lab and diagnostic test results with rationale
  • Pharmacotherapeutic treatment with rationale
  • A table listing expectedand actualpresentation findings, lab/diagnostic studies, drug treatment based on pertinent past medical history and current diagnosis.
  • 3 care plans which include:
    • Prioritized nursing diagnoses (one diagnosis on each care plan; one must be psychosocial)
    • Goal statements (short term and long term)
    • Minimum of 6 nursing interventions with rationale statements
    • Evaluation statement of short term goal
  • A minimum of 5-typed pages is required. This does not include the title page, table of contents, abstract, or reference page.
  • If this assignment is not turned in by the due date or is incomplete, a clinical Unsatisfactory /“U” will be given and this may result in a clinical failure.
  • A Satisfactory / “S” grade must be obtained to meet clinical competency for the day.
