Assignment 2: Health Insurance and Quality

Imagine that you are the clinic manager of an urgent care center. Recently, your center has seen an increase in complaints regarding long wait times, inadequate or incomplete information from staff during visits, and the relatively small number of insurance types accepted at the facility.

Write a 2-3 page paper in which you:

  1. Examine at least three (3) examples of quality initiatives that could increase patient satisfaction and potentially reduce healthcare cost. Support your response with examples of the successful application your chosen quality initiatives.
  2. Defend your position on the decision to accept Medicare or Medicaid as potential pay sources for your urgent care center. Provide support with at least two (2) examples that illustrate your position.
  3. Use at least two (2) quality references. Note: Wikipedia and other Websites do not qualify as academic resources.

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

  • Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
  • Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:

  1. Part I: (50–100 words total)

What is a worldview? Define what the term “worldview” means. Use descriptive phrases to support your definition.

 

  1. Part II: (300–500 words total)

Articulate the biblical worldview (what is believed) for each of the following 5 questions. Support your biblical content with scriptural support.  A minimum of 2 relevant Scripture references need to be included for each of the 5 questions below (do not write out the verses) to support why it is believed. Each of the 5 questions* must be answered in a separate paragraph.

*An overview of these specific worldview questions can be found in chapter 4 of Finding Your Worldview: Thinking Christianly about the World.

 

  1. Part III: (100–150 words total)

Choose 2 of the following questions below and answer them from a biblical worldview belief system. (Use Scripture to support your biblical content.)

How might/should a biblical worldview influence the way you…

  1. …think about, treat, and speak to others on a daily basis?
  2. …vote in local or national elections?
  3. …treat/interact with the environment and non-human creation?
  4. …decide on a future career (what you will choose and/or how you will carry it out)?
George Berkeley (pronounced “barkley”), in his subjective idealism, claimed the only things we could be sure of are that we have perceptions and that God must also perceive to explain our common perceptions, and that we could “know” nothing else. The positivists, such as Charles Sanders Peirce and Karl Popper, claimed that we could only know our sense perceptions from our five senses and nothing else.  Others, such as Immanuel Kant, tried to take a middle route, claiming that some things were known through empiricle, observable data, but other truths existed but were difficult to study, as the nature of such perceptions was not verifiable.
In 500 words, contrast these points of view using the course materials and any other resources you may find, and explain your position on this issue.  Is reality something that we learn about via our senses or some other way (if so what)?  Or do we learn in multiple ways?  How is such knowledge obtained?

Please summarize or write about 3 bullet items of your choice, in the following PowerPoint that interest you the most after reading them.

Please take some time and look at the idea of BulletProof Coffee, a current trend in lipid nutrition. I will not be providing you a source, but rather I want you to seek a reliable one out. Feel free to read all the info out there, as if you were not a smart, fact checking nutrition student; it is very interesting!
What is BulletProof Coffee and who is responsible for coming up with Bulletproof Coffee (what is their background)?
Who is your source (you may use multiple sources for this assignment, as obviously any source can tell you what it is, but look for a reliable source using the CRAAP Test and Hierarchy of Evidence to decide if BulletProof coffee is good or not). Does the source support or not support it. Source(s) can be linked, no need to APA.
What are your thoughts on Bullet Proof Coffee and its claims in terms of nutrition and health based facts from the class lecture and readings and would you try it (why or why not)?
Be sure to number your responses; minimum of 500 words total for all responses (#1-3) not each response.
 

On the first page, describe a ritual that is already part of your life. This ritual can be an unconscious or semiconscious element of your life. Perhaps you’ll only become aware of it by looking deeply. It could be an activity or series of gestures that you’ve inherited, it could be something that you’ve seen or heard that has inspired you, or it can be a ritual that you yourself have created for yourself and the circumstances of your life. Please write with as much insight and detail as you can. Perhaps there is a ritual you’ve created in response to stress, panic, or a moment in your life where you needed to break through to deeper meaning, to a different kind of fulfillment, in the face of failure, or abandonment, or despair. Perhaps this ritual is crucial to your survival, your wellbeing, your self-confidence and your sense of direction. Perhaps it is a shared ritual that joins you to family or friends or to a supportive community. Perhaps this ritual is organized, regular, repetitive, cumulative, and consistent, or perhaps it is random or something that you’ve only done once in your life. Please write with as much insight and detail as you can.
On page two of the 2-page assignment, please describe how you will transform, adapt, or repurpose your existing ritual to address one of the topics on your private list. Please write with as much insight and detail as you can.

ASSESSMENT:

Lab Tests and Results:

  1. CBC: Blood tests are used to confirm an infection and to try to identify the type of organism causing the infection (Mayo Clinic, 2018.)
  2. Sputum culture: is taken after a deep cough and analyzed to help pinpoint the cause of the infection (Mayo Clinic, 2018).
  3. O2 saturation: decreased oxygen saturation indications indicates hypoxemia. Normal range should be 95-100% on RA (Mayo Clinic. 2018).

Diagnostics:

  1. Chest X-ray: helps your doctor diagnose pneumonia and determine the extent and location of the infection (Mayo Clinic, 2018).

 Differential Diagnoses:

  1. Bacterial pneumonia: is an infection of the air sacs in one or both lungs which may fill with fluid or pus, causing cough with phlegm or pus, fever, chills, and difficulty breathing, dullness to percussion, decreased breath sound, fatigue. It is most commonly caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae(Mayo Clinic, 2018). Since the patient appears to have most of these symptoms, this is a great possibility.
  2. Acute bronchitis: Acute bronchitis, often called a “chest cold,” is the most common type of bronchitis. It occurs when the airways of the lungs swell and produce mucus which makes one cough. It is caused by a virus and often occurs after an upper respiratory infection. Symptoms include sore throat, soreness in the chest, fever, coughing with or without mucus production, fatigue, mild headaches and watery eyes (CDC, 2017b). This can also be a possibility based on the patient’s symptoms.
  3. Asthma exacerbation: Asthma is a disease that affects your lungs. It causes repeated episodes of wheezing, breathlessness, chest tightness, and nighttime or early morning coughing. Asthma can be controlled by taking medicine and avoiding the triggers that can cause an attack (CDC, 2017a). This can also be a possibility based on the patient’s symptoms.
  4. Bronchiectasis exacerbation: Bronchiectasis is a condition in which the airways (called bronchial tubes) that branch from the trachea into each lung become widened and inflamed. Such damage limits the ability of the airways to clear bacteria and mucus from the lungs, resulting in sputum production, cough, and shortness of breath. Bronchiectasis can be congenital or acquired as a result of an infection. Symptoms include cough, shortness of breath, wheezing, weight loss, fatigue and chronic sinusitis (Mount Sinai, 2018). Based on these symptoms, this can be a possibility for patient diagnosis.
  5. COPD exacerbation: chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) experiences long-term and progressive damage to their lungs. This affects air flow to the lungs. Symptoms include rapid shallow breathing, increasing amounts of mucus, which is often yellow, green, tan, or even blood-tinged, experiencing shortness of breath at rest or with minimal activity, such as walking from one room to another and wheezing more than usual (Healthline.com, 2018). Based on patient symptoms, this can also be a possibility for the patient condition.

Heart Disease Assignment

  1. Review the following websites to gain an understanding of the #1 threat to women:
http://www.consultant360.com/content/heart-disease-women

 https://www.yourethecure.org/     Explore You’re the Cure to gain better understanding.

  1. Review the booklet: http://www.healthyheartsforwomen.com/whd/#/1 with close review of page 31.
  2. Read the following to become more aware of the historical disparity in clinical trial that have likely had impact ;on the diagnosing and treatment of heart disease in women.  

Women make up just over half the US population and should not be considered a special, minority population, but rather an equal gender whose health needs require equal research efforts as those for men. Historically, however, the health needs of women, apart from reproductive concerns, have lagged in medical research. In 1985, the Public Health Service Task Force on Women’s Health Issues concluded that “the historical lack of research focus on women’s health concerns has compromised the quality of health information available to women as well as the health care they receive.” Since the publication of that report, there has been a transformation in women’s health research—including changes in government support of research, in policies, in regulations, and in organization—that has resulted in the generation of new scientific knowledge about women’s health. Offices on women’s health have been established in a number of government agencies.1Government reports and reports from other organizations, including the Institute of Medicine (IOM), have highlighted the need for, and tracked the progress of, the inclusion of women in health research. A number of nongovernment organizations have also provided leadership in research in women’s health. And women as advocates, research subjects, researchers, clinicians, administrators, and US representatives and senators have played a major role in building a women’s health movement. A number of non-governmental organizations have also provided leadership in research in women’s health. And women as advocates, research subjects, researchers, clinicians, administrators, and US representatives and senators have played a major role in building a women’s health movement.
