Analyze the similarities and differences in implemen

This week you will focus on Core Competencies. Each advanced care provider role has specific core competencies specific to the specialization. Following are links to websites describing core competencies that are relevant to the South University College of Nursing and Public Health advanced practice role specializations:

  • Indirect Care Provider Roles:
    • Nurse Administrator
    • Nurse Informaticist
    • Nurse Educator
  • Direct Care Provider Roles:
    • NP (Adult, Gerontology, or Family Health)
To prepare for this assignment, review all core competencies and then provide a response in a 3- to 5-page paper (excluding the title and reference page) your review of these competencies considering the following:
  • Compare and contrast the core competencies of a direct care provider advanced role and indirect care provider advanced role. For example, if you are a nurse informaticist or nurse administrator student, compare your role’s core competencies to the NP core competencies. If you are a NP student, compare your role’s core competencies to that of the nurse informaticist or the nurse administrator.
  • Analyze the similarities and differences in implemen

Explain whether the theory uses deductive, inductive or retroductive reasoning. Provide evidence to support your conclusion.

Assignment 2: Nursing Theory Analysis Paper due date Dec/14  (Theory of Bureaucratic Caring by Dr. Marilyn Anne Ray) Overview/Description: The purpose of this assignment is to describe, evaluate and discuss application of a nursing grand or mid-range theory. This assignment also provides the learner an opportunity to connect theory and research to nursing phenomena. Learners will develop an 8-10 pagepaper (excluding the title page and references) using APA style to address the elements listed below. ( References peer review less than 5 years old) Theory/Author Name and Background

  1. Select a Grand or Mid-Range Theory that is appropriate to your practice setting.
  2. Describe the theorist’s background in detail and discuss how their experiences have impacted the theory development.
  3. Examine crucial references for the original and/or current work of the theorist and other authors writing about the selected theory.
  4. Identify the phenomenon of concern or problems addressed by the theory.
Theory Description
  1. Explain whether the theory uses deductive, inductive or retroductive reasoning. Provide evidence to support your conclusion.
  2. Describe the major concepts of the theory. How are they defined? (theoretically and/or operationally) Is the author consistent in the use of the concepts and other terms in the theory?
  3. Interpret how the concepts are defined. Implicitly or explicitly?
  4. Examine the relationships (propositions) among the major concepts.
Evaluation
  1. Identify explicit and implicit assumptions (values/beliefs) underlying the theory. On what assumptions does the theory build?
  2. Examine if the theory has a description of the four concepts of the nursing metaparadigm. If so, how are they explained in the theory? If the metapardigm is not explained, what elements do you see as relevant to the theory and why?
  3. Discuss the clarity of the theory. Did it have lucidness and consistency?
Application
  1. Examine how the theory would guide nursing actions.
  2. Describe specifically how you can use this theory in your area of nursing (Practice, Education, Informatics or Administration).
APA Style/Format Submit your document to the W5: Assignment 2 Dropbox by Tuesday, December 14, 2016.

What effects would joining a MCO have on your clinic regarding staffing, patient volume, and financial stability?

  • What effects would joining a MCO have on your clinic regarding staffing, patient volume, and financial stability?
  • What policies and procedures should be used by the MCOs to reduce costs for their clientele?
  • Discuss the ethical issues or concerns about MCOs providing a lower quality of care compared to traditional fee-for-service (FFS) organizations?
  • What are some of the questions you would ask each representative about his or her company’s specific plan that will help you make a decision?
  • Do you believe that the evolution of MCOs and consumer driven health plans (CDHPs) has affected the healthcare environment today by integrating the financing and delivery of healthcare services? If yes, how?
  • How have the roles and relationships between physicians and patients changed by each of these types of plans?
