Deliverable 5 – Living Will Deliverable 5 – Living Will

/in /by

Competency
Analyze ethical and legal dilemmas that healthcare workers may encounter in the medical field.

Instructions
You have recently been promoted to Health Services Manager at Three Mountains Regional Hospital, a small hospital located in a mid-size city in the Midwest. Three Mountains is a general medical and surgical facility with 400 beds. Last year there were approximately 62,000 emergency visits and 15,000 admissions. More than 6,000 outpatient and 10,000 inpatient surgeries were performed.

An important aspect of the provider/patient relationship pertains to open communication and trust. Patients want to know that their doctors and the support staff associated with their care understand their wishes and will abide by them. Ideally, these conversations happen well before an emergency or procedure takes place; however, often times this information is missing from a patient’s file. As part of Three Mountains’ initiative to build trust with their patients, an increased emphasis has been placed on obtaining living wills from the patient as part of the intake process to ensure that the healthcare team has written directives of the patient’s wishes in case of incapacitation.

You will be creating a living will for a patient and provide educational information as to why the patient should fill it out during the admission process before a procedure.

  1. Introduction: Explain the definition of a living will and its key components. This section will provide an educational overview of the document for the patient.
  2. Living Will Template: Create a living will that can serve as a template to the patients. This should cover the basic treatment issues such as resuscitation, feeding tubes, ventilation, organ and tissue donations, etc. Provide instructions in the template that can be easily altered, depending on each patient’s wishes.
  3. Summary: In this section, you will discuss the importance of this document and encourage patients to complete it. Address how this document ensures that a patient’s wishes are known and followed by the healthcare team.
  4. NOTE – APA formatting and proper grammar, punctuation, and form required. APA help is available here.

Profiles of Emerging Innovative Leaders

/in /by

 

As emerging economies have continued to focus on promoting innovation and entrepreneurship, a number have begun to see success and sustainable gains. And while there are consistent themes, there are a number of different approaches that have worked in various country contexts. Your assignment is to choose two emerging economy countries that have begun to emerge as innovation leaders and develop profiles on those countries and their strategies. You should first define the criteria by which you are judging them to be a success and discuss their performance against those criteria. In this discussion, you should also note why innovation and entrepreneurship is important to these emerging economies. You should next develop a profile of each country that includes the following elements:

  • Basic information about the country to include location, population, resource base, very brief overview of relevant history, and current positioning in the global economy
  • Explanation of the strategies taken to promote innovation / entrepreneurship
  • Results to date of those strategies
  • Challenges encountered in encouraging innovation and entrepreneurship and how those have been overcome (if they have)
  • Implications for other emerging economy countries (are there techniques that can/should be replicated?)

Your paper should be six to ten pages in length and should have appropriately documented sources.
