Quality

Hi class,

Patricia also has a great post! For this post, let’s delve into quality! One of the outcomes for new processes such as Six Sigma and Lean is to create a process that is quality based. For instance, you might spend 10 minutes with your HCP, but that time is quality time based on your top 3 issues you want to discuss with your HCP.

How can you implement quality into your new graduate role? What might you do?

Week 3 Project

Due February 1 at 11:59 PM

Hi Class,

And welcome to week 2!  Week 2 runs from 1/19 to 1/25. This week we are going to focus on population health.  As you already know the health care act has a huge section in there about health promotion and chronic care management.  Patients are being required to have more responsibility about their health care and participate in preventative care. Whereas, hospitals and healthcare practitioners are having more responsibility in educating our chronic care population so that they can manage their chronic illness more effectively.

For our DB this week, look at your topic of choice and discuss how health policy and initiatives are being used by Advanced Practice Nurses. 

The Legislative Matrix [a table] this week helps identify your legislators involved in policy development and dissemination in your area. This week you will develop a Legislative Matrix based on your local and specific legislators in your geographical area. Go out and Google who are your local, state and national legislators for your district/area. Find all of them, not just those related to your topic. This is not a paper but a creative and logical chart identifying the information below.  You can just list your sources in the reference page and no need to cite within the boxes for this assignment. 😊

To create a chart, using Microsoft word, go to insert, click on table, then highlight how many columns and rows you may need. You can add more or delete later as needed. View this video for help as well: Inserting a table

State and Federal legislators will be identified: State Representatives, Senators, Congressman and Governor.

Each legislator’s assigned committees and any active legislation bills, and/or past legislative initiatives will be identified. Identify their names and duties. This information is generally posted on their own website with their platform. Be sure to separate out local, state and national representatives.

This information will be used to assist in the development of the Legislative Communication assignment.

Grading Criteria

Identify specific legislative District State Governor, areas of focus and interest State Senators, committees and appointments.  Assignment meets all expectations with exceptional depth and breath. A comprehensive purpose statement delineates all requirements of the assignment.

State Representatives (House), committees and appointments Federal Senators, committee and appointments. Demonstrates the ability to evaluate, apply and integrate key assignment concepts.

Federal Congressman (House), committees and appointments State Specific legislation involving legislators.  Synthesizes and justifies (defends, explains, validates, confirms) information gleaned from sources to support major points presented. Uses 3 credible resources for the assignment, including at least 1 scholarly peer-reviewed resource.

Followed APA guidelines.

• More on the week 1 paperKaren Myers posted on Jan 13, 2021 1:49 PMHi class,Here is a little more information for you. 😊First, all papers must be in Times New Roman, 12 font, double spaced, contain headings, in-text citations, introduction & conclusion and a reference page. In total, this is about a 5 page paper, not counting the cover page or references.Here are the headings you must use as they match the rubric. Please use only these headings and they are already centered/left justified as needed in the paper. The description of each area is below.TitleIntroduction 3-5 sentences introducing the topicDiseaseIncidencePrevalenceEpidemiologyCostDescriptionPopulationSpecific LegislatorsPolicyInterprofessional teamConclusionCriteria in the rubric is what needs to be answered. For week 1 paper the criteria are: [my comments are in purple]Health Topic Describe a single health promotion/disease prevention problem from the Healthy People 2020 Objectives Introduction to population or problem Describe incidence, prevalence, epidemiology, cost burden etc., [After reviewing Healthy People 2020, choose a topic of choice and write about the issue. Include details such as incidence, prevalence, morbidity/mortality/costs/population etc. Everything you would want to know about this issue as a nurse needs to be here. This section may be 1-3 paragraphs long.]Description of specific population, program or organization. Discuss how the policy is intended for a specific population, program or organization Specific legislators involved Identify and discuss specific legislators involved in the policy development. [For your topic, look for legislation that addresses your issue.  The American Health Care Act (ACA) is too broad to use for this class, plus it is our healthcare system.  What you can do is narrow the focus of the ACA to your topic to your specific area. For example, if you are discussing CHF, focus in on the 30-day readmission policy.  What is the intent of the legislation and who helped to draft and introduce this specific policy that became law?The legislation must be currently in practice and specific to your topic.  DO NOT use any proposed legislation.  Proposed legislation is not current law. You must use current legislation or policy.  The names are interchangeable at times with legislation and policy.]Policy, practice and outcomes. Discuss how the policy influences clinical practice and is used to promote best outcomes Policy, practice and the inter-professional team. Examine how the policy can be used by the inter-professional team to ensure coordinated. [Now that you have chosen your topic and policy/legislation and discussed each one, this step you will write about how the policy/legislation is used in real life and practice. For example, how well does the 30-day readmission policy work with my population? Who all is involved in the care? How does the health care teamwork and collaborate to prevent a 30-day readmission? Etc- so basically, how effective is the policy and is it working like the policy/legislation was intended?]Comprehensive Review of Literature Perform and demonstrate a comprehensive review of the current evidence. Use of primary sources and evidence that is not older than 5 years Writing, grammar and APA application Scholarly grammar, use of APA 7th edition. [All your APA info. You will use at least 5 different sources or more for this paper.  This paper sets up the framework for the rest of the time we are together, so the more research completed the further along you are! Do not bullet point any information. The paper is to be in APA7th edition narrative format and no first person. For week 2 you will be creating a Legislative Matrix or Chart of your local, state and federal representatives, legislators etc. if you find this info, bookmark it for week 2! 😊]Hope this helps!Dr. Karen
