Unit outcomes addressed in this Assignment: • Assess quality and techniques for improving quality and safety. Course outcome addressed in this Assignment: HA540-3: Research methods of assessing quality and techniques for improving quality and safety Instructions: In this assignment, you will be researching dimensions of quality and safety in healthcare, specifically long-term care, and how various industries can apply these concepts to improve operations. ● Using the Medicare Nursing Home Compare website, research one nursing home that displays a low level of quality as indicated by their Five Star Rating* ○ The nursing home should display a low level of quality (-2 star rating) ○ The nursing home should display a low level of safety ● Provide a general overview of the nursing home (e.g., name, location, bed size, ownership, etc.) ● Discuss the quality performance of the nursing home as evident by its most recent health care inspection (e.g., deficiencies, citations, financial penalties, etc.). This can be accomplished by thoroughly reading the nursing home’s statement of deficiencies and plan of action to correct quality deficiencies (CMS Form 2567). ● Discuss the safety performance of the nursing home as evident by its most recent life safety inspection (e.g., life safety citations, financial penalties, etc.). This can be accomplished by thoroughly reading the nursing home’s life safety code statement of deficiencies and plan of action. ● Discuss appropriate techniques that you would use to improve quality in the nursing home. ● Discuss appropriate techniques that you would use to improve safety in the nursing home. ● Be sure to include details about the deficiencies that you found. ● Report your findings by using one (1) of the methods below: ○ 3-4 page paper excluding front and back matter (APA standards apply). ○ Internal organizational memorandum. ○ Infographic 2 Kaplan University School of Health Sciences HA540 Unit 7 Assignment COURSE # ○ Power Point presentation for a Board of Directors (10-12 slides; speaker notes as needed to support assertions). ○ 7-10 minute public service announcement (using a free online voice recorder such as vocaroo.com) ○ Video newscast (using a free online video recorder such as YouTube.com)(e.g., entertainment talk show, television commentary, interview-style, news reporting, etc.). ○ The use of first person is permitted for this assignment (excluding option 1). ● APA formatting (e.g., title page, conclusion, reference page, etc.) should not be used. •You can select any nursing home published on the Medicare Hospital Compare website. To narrow your selection, consider researching nursing homes in your community, previous places of residence, employers, competitors, or even a nursing home you would like to network with someday.

Nursing
- Respond to the prompts below in full sentences. Be sure to use standard English grammar and spelling:
- As a community health nurse, you work with migrant workers in your community. Access to health care in the rural areas of the United States is a major concern.
- Discuss possible barriers to health care this population group may face.
- How will you intervene to eliminate or at least minimize these barriers?
- m2a2
Within the Discussion Board area, write 400–600 words that respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. This will be the foundation for future discussions by your classmates. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas. Medical liability reform is a recent force in health care. Decreases in practicing physicians and high cost of healthcare due to ordering of tests to protect the provider from possible liability, have created the barriers to accessing health care for many individuals. You have been asked by the Community Relations Committee of Healing Hands Hospital to evaluate how the hospital can improve access to healthcare resources by members of the community and create strategies to improve access to care within your geographic region. Discuss the barriers that patients experience when accessing health care resources. How can health care organizations improve patients’ access to health care for all? Why do barriers continue to exist when it comes to access and equal health care? Include 3 reference sources, besides the textbook, and be sure to document your references using APA format.
Q2
Write a paper of 800+ words examining your personal values and beliefs. Include the following: 1. Describe your personal values and spiritual beliefs. 2. Using the elements of cost, quality, and social issues to frame your description, differentiate your beliefs and opinions about health care policy. Give examples of relevant ethical principles, supported by your values. 3. Analyze how factors such as your upbringing, spiritual or religious beliefs/doctrine, personal and professional experiences, and political ideology affect your current perspective on health care policy. 4. Examine any inconsistencies you discovered relative to the alignment of your personal values and beliefs with those concerning health policy. Discuss what insights this has given you. APA format (heading, title page, in text citation, references page)
Data breaches, be it credit card or medical information, have become commonplace. With so much personal information now available electronically, the protection of private information has become an important issue for health administrators.
You are a hospital administrator, charged with overseeing your hospital’s HIPAA compliance. Due to increased rates of data breaches around the country and a recent decision made by the Connecticut Supreme Court, Bryne v. Avery Center, your supervisor has asked you to prepare a presentation for the hospital board of directors and other stakeholders that will serve as a conversation starter regarding this issue.
Emily Bryne v. Avery Center for Obstetrics and Gynecology, P.C. (SC 19873) Retrieved from https://jud.ct.gov/external/supapp/Cases/AROcr/CR327/327CR110.pdf
You have been asked to address the following items in a PowerPoint presentation:
What is the intent and purpose of HIPAA?
Explain the concept of Protected Health Information (PHI).
What impact can the breach of PHI have on patients/consumers?
Explain HIPAA’s allowance for the release of some PHI without consent.
In Byrne v. Avery Center for Obstetrics & Gynecology, P.C., the Connecticut State Supreme Court found that health care organizations could be found liable for the unauthorized release of private health information. While this was a decision in Connecticut, why is this decision relevant for your health organization?

Locate a minimum of 15 peer-reviewed articles that describe the problem or issue and that support the proposed solution (My Problem: What is the result (O) of having BSN degree in nursing in comparison (C) to ADN degree nursing(P), affect the efficiency and effectiveness of the nursing care (I) on a daily basis (T)?) I want to show how having BSN degree in nursing versus ADN degree is better because of the lower mortality rates, fewer medication errors, and positive outcomes are all linked to nurses prepared at the baccalaureate and graduate degree levels. Due to further conventional training the BSN nurse is more of a sharp thinker proceeding in regular nursing duties and abstains from harmful mistakes. BSN nurses attend to view further into the disease process and critical thinking behind it in preference then simply doing a task as an AND nurse would. See attachment for further explanation

Locate a minimum of 15 peer-reviewed articles that describe the problem or issue and that support the proposed solution (My Problem: What is the result (O) of having BSN degree in nursing in comparison (C) to ADN degree nursing(P), affect the efficiency and effectiveness of the nursing care (I) on a daily basis (T)?) I want to show how having BSN degree in nursing verses ADN degree is better because of the lower mortality rates, fewer medication errors, and positive outcomes are all linked to nurses prepared at the baccalaureate and graduate degree levels. Due to further conventional training the BSN nurse is more of a sharp thinker proceeding in regular nursing duties and abstains from harmful mistakes. BSN nurses attend to view further into the disease process and critical thinking behind it in preference then simply doing a task as an AND nurse would. Eight of the 15 articles must be research-based (e.g., a study which is qualitative, quantitative, descriptive, or longitudinal).Preview each of the 15 articles chosen by reading the article abstracts and summaries.Hint: Article abstracts and summaries provide a concise description of the topic, research outcomes, and significance of findings.Perform a rapid appraisal of each article by answering the following questions (one to two sentences are sufficient to answer each question):How does each article describe the nature of the problem, issue, or deficit you have identified?Does each article provide statistical information to demonstrate the gravity of the issue, problem, or deficit?What are example(s) of morbidity, mortality, and rate of incidence or rate of occurrence in the general population?Does each article support your proposed change?
Patients traditionally have received all their medical information from their physicians. However, “Dr. Google” and “Nurse Bing” have increasingly become trusted sources of health information. As a result, everyone from pharmaceutical companies to prosthesis suppliers has added direct-to-consumer advertising to their promotional mix. This is very controversial because it tends to disrupt the traditional doctor-patient relationship.
This project provides you with the opportunity to thoroughly research a current direct-to-consumer advertising technique (online ads or social media, for example) and how it is used to promote a healthcare product or service. This project will help you understand how to communicate directly with healthcare consumers and improve your marketing knowledge.
Your final project is due in Module 09. There will be individual assignments along the way. The module they are due is noted in the time line below.
Time Line
| Module | Assignment |
| 02 | Introduction |
| 04 | Thesis and Outline |
| 05 | Annotated Bibliography |
| 06 | Start Work on Rough Draft |
| 07 | Rough Draft Due |
| 09 | Final Paper Due |
Requirements
For this project, you will write an original research paper with a body of 5-6 pages. The paper should focus on a direct-to-consumer technique, thoroughly explaining what it is, why it’s important, and how it fundamentally impacts healthcare marketing.
Your paper final should consist of the following pages:
Title Page – captivating title, your name, title of the course, date
Body – 5-6 pages consisting of introduction, background on your topic, research support using in-text citation, personal evaluation, and strong conclusion.
Reference Page – in APA format.
Research and Writing Requirements include the following:
- Incorporate key elements of a quality research paper (e.g., strong thesis, attention-getting opening, topic sentences, etc.).
- Use proper mechanics: clear, concise, complete sentences and paragraphs, proper spelling, grammar, and punctuation. (See style handbooks recommended by your college’s Online Library, which you can access through the Resources tab.)
- Use five or six sources for the paper from your research. Your textbook is a good resource. Internet resources should be reliable, for instance, a university or government website. Please use one or two sources as available from your college’s Online Library. Use statements and ideas that you have come up with on your own and blend these in with your research. Do not plagiarize. If you want to use actual words from a source, put them in quotation marks with the source.
- Follow APA format for citing your sources. APA format should be followed in parenthetical references to research in the body of the text and in the annotated bibliography in the References Page at the end. For APA guidelines, go to your college’s online library, which you can access through the Resources tab.
Evaluation
Each assignment leading up to the final assignment is evaluated and graded independently. Your instructor will provide specific grading criteria for each step of the project prior to its due date.
For Further Questions

Q 2
Managing the performance of employees is vital-yet delicate-responsibility. Creating a work environment in which people can perform to the best of their abilities to meet the company’s goals is primary. The ultimate success or failure of a performance management system depends on the connection to the company’s business goals, and the attitudes and skills of those responsible for administration.
One of the most difficult tasks of a manager is assessing why someone is not performing well. Read the scenario below and consider the following questions:
Carl Spackler works in research and development for a chemical company that makes non-nutritive food additives. His most recent assignment has been the development of a non-nutritive aerosol cooking spray. Carl has specific goals tying back to the strategic goals of the company and he has achieved them. Carl’s manager, Ray Moran, continues to put off completing Carl’s performance evaluation for almost 6 months. When it was time to have the in person conversation, Ray tells Carl he is busy and to read it himself. The evaluation is 3 sentences and does not provide any feedback.
1. Describe the potential causes of this scenario.
2. What could the manager have done differently?
3. How does this affect the overall success of the company?
4. Describe the issues with retaining a good employee like Carl?
What strategies can HR put in place to avoid these issues in the future?
*** one page with minimum three references
Q3
Identify a company which has an incentive plan in place. You can use your own company, as well. How does the company culture affect the compensation philosophy? Discuss the strategy behind the compensation model and outline the plan design. Include the reasons to implement an incentive plan and the different types as it relates to individuals, groups and enterprise-wide. Why are these plans important and what make them successful. Discuss with your peers.

The course content culminated with an examination of policy, and appropriate end point because every previous topic influences policy and policy impacts each area of healthcare.
For the final examination, select a healthcare related policy — either one in existence or (more difficult) one you would propose — and in a 3 – 5 page paper explain its purpose and impact.
As this is a cumulative examination, your analysis must include how the policy influences some or all of the realms explored this semester. In other words, this is your opportunity to demonstrate your understanding of the complexities of healthcare.
In considering which policy to examine [I considered specifying the topic, but prefer to let your creativity flow], adopt a broad perspective. Appropriate topics range from broad public health initiatives (mandatory seat belt use, prohibition on tobacco advertising, older drinking age) to fiscal influencer (readmission penalties, never events, HIT incentives and penalties, block grants) to operational mandates (CON requirements, limits on training hours, EMTALA, quality improvement initiatives).
Condensing your research and findings into a concise and precise paper is a major challenge. It is also a practical skill.
Please post any questions concerning this assignment within this Discussion. Post your final submission in the Assignments folder.
