/in /by

The purpose of this assignment is to gain real-world insight into how risk management programs operate within health care organizations.

Select a local health care organization where you can conduct an interview with an employee who is involved in risk management processes. This organization can be your current employer or a different health care facility in your community. Acute care, urgent care, large multi‐provider private medical clinics, assisted living facilities, and community/public health clinical facilities are all ideal options to complete the requirements of this assignment. Select an individual who can provide sufficient information regarding how their organization manages risk within its facility to answer the questions below.

In your interview, address the following:

  1. Risk management strategies used in the organization’s risk control program, along with specific examples.
  2. How the facility’s educational risk management program addresses key professional, legal, and ethical issues, such as prevention of negligence, malpractice litigation, and vicarious liability.
  3. Policies the facility has implemented that address how to manage emergency triage in high‐risk areas of health care service delivery (e.g., narcotics inventories, declared pregnancy policies, blood-borne disease sector, etc.).
  4. Challenges the organization faces in managing and controlling high-risk health care (e.g., infectious diseases, nuclear medicine, abortion, class 4 narcotics/opioids, etc.).
  5. Strategies the facility utilizes to monitor, evaluate, and maintain compliance within its risk management program.

After conducting the interview, compose a 750‐1,000 word summary analysis of the interview that includes the questions above, in conjunction with the interviewee’s responses. In addition, include the following elements in your response:

  1. An assessment of the organization’s risk management program, including how it attends to high-risk health care and legal concerns.
  2. Action steps you would take to improve one area of the organization’s risk management program, along with your rationale for doing so.

NONCONSEQUENTIAL ETHICAL THEORY

Please review the following case:

Chelsea was preparing to drape Mr. Smith’s leg in OR 6 for surgery when she was approached by Nicole, the nurse manager. Nicole asked, “Chelsea, please come to OR 3. We have an emergency there and urgently need your skills to assist the surgeon.” Chelsea turned to Daniel, the surgical technician, and asked him to continue prepping Mr. Smith’s leg for surgery. Daniel prepped the leg prior to the surgeon entering the room. The surgeon entered the room a few minutes later and asked, “Where is Chelsea?” Daniel replied, “She was called away for an emergency in OR 3. Karen will be shortly in to assist us.”

Following the surgery, Mr. Smith was transferred to the recovery room. While he was in the recovery room, a nurse was looking at the patient’s medical record as to the notes regarding the patient’s procedure during surgery. She noticed that the surgery was conducted on the wrong leg.

Although there was a heated discussion between the surgeon and the nursing staff, each member of the staff had good intentions, but the outcome was not so good. Nonconsequentialists believe that right or wrong depends on the intention. They generally focus more on deeds and whether those deeds are good or bad. In this case, the intentions were good but the outcome was bad. It should be noted that nonconsequentialists do not always ignore the consequences. 

They accept the fact that sometimes good intentions can lead to bad outcomes. In summary, nonconsequentialists focus more on character as to whether someone is a good person or not. Nonconsequentialists believe that right or wrong depends on the intention. Generally, the consequentialist will focus more on outcomes as to whether they are good or bad.

Please address the following questions drawing support from your course resources and credible scholarly resources cited in APA format:

1. Describe how the nonconsequential theory of ethics applies in this case.

2. What questions might a consequentialist raise after reviewing the facts of this case and why.

(ROKK SOC450) Week 10 Assignment – Critical Threats to the Global Environment (NO PLAGIARISM PLEASE!!)

/in /by

 

  1. The United Nations has continued to retain you as a consultant for a project that deals with climate and the environment. Most developed countries see the dangers of releasing too much carbon dioxide into the atmosphere and are committed to climate policies that attain a carbon-free future in the next 30 years. They already see the damaging effects that this gas alone is having on the living conditions of crops, wildlife, and humans. As a result, many member states are dissatisfied with the progress of the eight Millennium Development Goals for international development that they established in 2000. The member states see a substantial disconnect between several issues that developed and developing countries believe are priorities. For example, Burundi wants one of the goals to focus on food security, while Austria is adamant that a major global issue should be the negotiation of ceasefires in countries in the midst of civil wars. The UN wants you to work from the list below and prioritize two of the global community’s threats that it deems the most serious to environmental stability.
    Instructions
    Step 1
    Select two threats. Listed below are eight issues that the UN feels pose the most significant threats to global security. Some of these apply to the Earth’s 7.7 billion people, while others are limited primarily to developing countries. Regardless of where these threats are concentrated, your job as a consultant is to identify two of them that you consider the most critical to the globe’s population.
    Issue Options

    1. The use of fossil fuels as an energy source.
    2. Globalization.
    3. Insufficient educational opportunities in developing countries.
    4. A lack of access to technology.
    5. Civil war (NOT the U.S. Civil War).
    6. The rise in oceans’ levels.
    7. Covid-19 and the global pandemic.
    8. The dangers of poor countries remaining poor.
    9. Step 2
      Write a minimum of an 8 page persuasive paper about your two threats.
      Write an introduction paragraph of at least one-half page in length identifying the two threats you have selected and the purpose of the paper. Then, for the two threats you chose:
    10. Identify the factors that make it such a serious risk to the global environment that you would choose to present it to the UN.
    11. Analyze the role that humans have played in aggravating this threat to the Earth’s environment.
    12. Suggest initiatives that the global community can take to mitigate the worst effects of this environmental threat.
    13. Write a conclusion paragraph of at least one-half page in length that summarizes your impressions of these risks for global stability.
    14. Guidelines
    15. This course requires the use of Strayer Writing Standards (SWS). For assistance and information, please refer to the SWS link in the left-hand menu of your course and check with your professor for any additional instructions.
    16. In order to earn full credit, the answers to each of the three questions must be at least two full pages long, making six pages. You must also include the one-half page introduction and one-half page conclusion at the beginning and end of the paper, adding up to one page of content. Finally, you must include a graph or table (see 5, below) that will be at least one page in length. The entire paper will be a minimum of eight pages long.
    17. You must use at least seven credible sources (excluding Wikipedia, dictionaries and encyclopedias) that are appropriate for the subjects under discussion.
    18. You must use only double-spacing and not place extra spacing between paragraphs or section headings.
    19. As part of your answer to any one of the questions, you must include a graph, table or chart using quantifiable data that supports your argument. You need only one graph for the entire assignment, and although you may download this item from the Internet, it may be no longer than one page in length. You must comprehensively explain beneath the graph what the data means. Otherwise, it will be of no use to the reader.
    20. The specific course learning outcome associated with this assignment is as follows:
    • Propose suggestions for mitigation initiatives that address the threats to the stability of the global environment.
  2. By submitting this paper, you agree: (1) that you are submitting your paper to be used and stored as part of the SafeAssign™ services in accordance with the Blackboard Privacy Policy; (2) that your institution may use your paper in accordance with your institution’s policies; and (3) that your use of SafeAssign will be without recourse against Blackboard Inc. and its affiliates.

Neurological Case Study

/in /by

Assignment 1: Case Study Assignment: Assessing Neurological Symptoms

Imagine not being able to form new memories. This is the reality patients with anterograde amnesia face. Although this form of amnesia is rare, it can result from severe brain trauma. Anterograde amnesia demonstrates just how impactful brain disorders can be to a patient’s quality of living. Accurately assessing neurological symptoms is a complex process that involves the analysis of many factors.

In this Case Study Assignment, you will consider case studies that describe abnormal findings in patients seen in a clinical setting.

To Prepare
  • By Day 1 of this week, you will be assigned to a specific case study for this Case Study Assignment. Please see the “Course Announcements” section of the classroom for your assignment from your Instructor.
  • Also, your Case Study Assignment should be in the Episodic/Focused SOAP Note format rather than the traditional narrative style format. Refer to Chapter 2 of the Sullivan text and the Episodic/Focused SOAP Template in the Week 5 Learning Resources for guidance. Remember that all Episodic/Focused SOAP notes have specific data included in every patient case.

With regard to the case study you were assigned:

  • Review this week’s Learning Resources, and consider the insights they provide about the case study.
  • Consider what history would be necessary to collect from the patient in the case study you were assigned.
  • Consider what physical exams and diagnostic tests would be appropriate to gather more information about the patient’s condition. How would the results be used to make a diagnosis?
  • Identify at least five possible conditions that may be considered in a differential diagnosis for the patient.
The Case Study Assignment

Use the Episodic/Focused SOAP Template and create an episodic/focused note about the patient in the case study to which you were assigned using the episodic/focused note template provided in the Week 5 resources. Provide evidence from the literature to support diagnostic tests that would be appropriate for each case. List five different possible conditions for the patient’s differential diagnosis, and justify why you selected each. 

CASE STUDY : Forgetfulness

A 70-year-old female comes to your clinic with complaints of forgetfulness. She noticed it about a year ago and it has progressively gotten worse. She sometimes forgets what she is going to do when she gets to another room. Her family has noticed the problem with her forgetfulness but she is still able to manage her finances and drive, per her report.

Intelligence Report FINAL

/in /by

This is the final paper on regards to the draft that is the file attached on the assignment

Intelligence Report Assignment
The intelligence report requires analytical thinking and avoids reportorial content. This type of report presents concise and direct explanation of events, interpretations of the event’s significance, forward-thinking recommendations, and the implications of events and actions. In other words, the intelligence report involves an in-depth report with analytical commentary.

Primary questions to ask yourself about how to think about the intelligence product
The evaluative purpose of the assessment report asks you to reflect on the following questions as you draft your report:
What is known?
What is new or being done differently?
What has changed? Why has it changed?
Why is it happening now?
Who are the actors/drivers? What are the goals and/or broader concerns of the principal actors?
What factors influence success or failure? Are the actors aware of these factors? Do they have a strategy/program to deal with the factors? What are the threats, if any?
What are the prospects for success and what are the implications for the actors, the broader concerns, the United States, and other countries?
What’s next? What assumptions do we face?
What are the anticipated consequences?
Are there any alternatives or opportunities?
In other words: WHY? HOW? SO WHAT?

You are to assume a historical perspective by evaluating the outlook (what’s next?) and its implications (what does that mean for the audience?).

GUIDELINES
Intelligence writing requires analytic thinking; to be analytical, you must identify significant facts for interpretation. Your report, then, must begin with conclusions and explore implications, must write for generalists who face real problems, must concentrate on essentials only (meaningful characterizations and relevant information only), and avoid prescribing policy.

STRUCTURE
BLUF (Bottom Line Up Front): Title embodies full scope of the subject matter and the summary lead (sentence that follows the title in the first paragraph) follows forward from the title (builds on title), completes the analysis, and offers clear road-maps of the report.
FORMAT: 1-2 pages ONLY, single spaced. No title page required. 1 inch margins only.
Title: embodies the summary lead and must attract the reader
Lead Sentence (always in italics): first sentence to follow the title and builds from the title; lead sentence should complete the analysis by offering the road map to the piece
Main Text: The argument: begins with conclusions and explores their implications; your report should ONLY focus on 3 key points with supporting details and explanations.
Specificity: key players, locations, in-depth identifications, threats, drivers, etc
Background/Collateral information (i.e, “contradicts press reports” or “supports press reports”)
Analytic comments for insight: alternatives/opportunities, what’s next, anticipated consequences; focus on the FUTURE with essentials only that provide meaningful characterizations
LANGUAGE: The key element to remember in your writing is to communicate effectively. Keep your language simple yet professional, easily digestible, and within 8th-9th grade reading levels.
AUDIENCE: The “Busy Customer.” Remember the main qualities of your audience: a decision-maker, non-technical expert, pressed for time, the generalist, engaged in the political environment, and wants adjustable and unique information.
