Create a 1-page fact sheet that your healthcare organization could hypothetically use to explain the health or nursing informatics policy/regulation you selected. Your fact sheet should address the following:

  • Briefly and generally explain the policy or regulation you selected.
  • Address the impact of the policy or regulation you selected on system implementation.
  • Address the impact of the policy or regulation you selected on clinical care, patient/provider interactions, and workflow.

Read the Home Care scenario in the Allied Health Community. Be sure to review the Instructions and Legend information.
In a total of 250-500 words, respond to the questions located in the Home Care scenario. 
Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA  Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not  required.

HOME CARE Scenario
Type of care provided
Scenario
Question 1
Instruction
Care in this capacity can range from a short-term to long-term based upon the changing needs of the patient. Patient age can range from pediatric to elderly. Care can be provided in the patient’s private home, group home, or assisted living setting. Medical homes fall into this category and are a new focus of Accountable Care Organizations through the Affordable Care Act of 2010.  
What steps would you, as the Director of Human Resources, take to rectify this issue? 
In your capacity as the Director of Human Resources, develop a plan for how you would conduct an internal and external wage analysis of your organization and respond to the impact this would have on the organization. 
As the Director of Human Resources within a home care environment, you are responsible for the administration of the organization’s labor budgets. Your Director of Clinical Services, who has a MSN, has presented some challenges regarding the compensation of her staff.This specific assisted nursing facility focuses on long-term care, providing approximately 500 nursing and support personnel who deliver direct and indirect care to approximately 225 patients representing various stages of acuity and need for nursing care. Your overall labor budget represents approximately 60% of expense revenue. 
The Director of Clinical Service complains that several of her registered nurses are threatening to leave the organization, allegedly because a competitor nearby pays their nurses higher wages. In fact, Director of Clinical Service asks for an across-the-board immediate pay adjustment of an additional $5.00 an 
hour for the nurses. She is awaiting a response from you before the day is over.

Journaling provides a valuable tool for recording, reflecting on, and reviewing your learning. This approach provides an opportunity for you to “connect the dots” and observe the relationships between and among activities, interactions, and outcomes.

Unlike a personal journal of thoughts and feelings, this Leadership Journal is a record of your activities, assessments, and learning related to this academic experience.

Journal entries should include a record of the number of hours spent with your nurse leader each week.

Write a journal entry of 1,000-1,500 words on the subject of power, including the following:

1. Provide observations and thoughts on the activities in Weeks 1-2. 

· Why all nurses should be considered leaders and the secular approach to leadership in comparison to servant leadership

2. Identify your given “power” at your workplace or in your professional life. What is your greatest contribution in the lives of others?

3. Find three people with whom you interact professionally and ask them to affirm the influence you bring to their lives. How and why did you choose the individuals? What pearls of wisdom did they share that you had not considered?

4. Reflect on at least two things you learned from the “Issue of Power” video.

Answer each question with not less than 600 words in response to the specific question provided. Include at least 2 in-text citations and references or government publications in each initial thread. All citations must be consistent with AMA formatting style.

Question #1: A Better Inspection

Fighting disease is an ongoing process. Sanitation inspections are a fundamental part of that fight. In the past a sanitation inspection aimed to identify and cite violations of rules and regulations. The current emphasis is to educate.

· How do the two approaches differ in the ability to solve sanitation problems?

· What advantage does education offer?

· How does this policy shift affect our ability to alter risks?

Question #2: Strategic Application of Resources

In public health resources are limited. The available monies and personnel need to be deployed strategically to have the greatest impact for the protection of the public. In your opinion, what are the most critical points in the food distribution network to prevent illness? Justify your answer.

Question #3: Creative Application of Laboratory Science

The laboratory plays an important role in the investigation and identification of the cause of food borne illness outbreaks. The lab can be a much more important, and less celebrated, tool to prevent an outbreak of disease.

· Which steps of the food processing and distribution systems are of the most value in evaluating the risks?

· How can this information be incorporated into safety inspections to improve the integrity of the system?

· How can the use of laboratory data as a preventive measure help enhance the investigation of disease outbreaks?

Question #4: Building Capacity

A couple manages their own small scale food production and distribution system. Their success comes from delivering a high quality product with low risk of contamination. Assume that they are now in a position to expand their operation from a local enterprise to a nationwide business. As they do, more of their time will be spent in the negotiation and managerial components of the business and they must, therefore, hire a workforce to handle the actual production, packaging and distribution of the product in order to build capacity. Outline a sanitation training program for the couple using the most recent regulations on food safety.
