Nurses have the ability to engage in policy formations for the well-being of our patients. There are several ways that nurses can choose to influence or become involved in policy making that can reap benefits for patients and as well as nurses. Levine (2020) states that the Institute of Medicine recommends that nurses further their practice by committing to continues education throughout their career and taking on leadership roles to help guide and advance healthcare and the nursing profession. 

Professional organizations provide RNs an APRNs the opportunity to take part and participate in policy review. Typically, professional organizations involved in nursing advocacy also participates in issues involving nursing and healthcare at local levels all the way up the ladder to global levels. A professional organization provides nurses with a network where they can be heard by voting, discussing, and influence change on certain issues (Echevarria, 2018). Members can become directly involved via voting or survey response (Echevarria, 2018). A second was nurses can play an active role in policy review is to collect data and provide feedback to policy makers or other leaders on whether new policies being implemented are effective (Milstead & Short, 2019). Information such as this can be gathered though quality improvement projects. 

Challenges may arise when nurses choose to play an active role in policy-review. They may feel inadequately prepared or educated in participating and may even have other challenges arise when other team members are uninterested in participating. Insufficient data collection would also cause issues to arise when trying to implement change. When any change challenges can and should be anticipated at some point. Milstead and Short (2019) states that some challenges can be eliminated or reduced by appointing a leader that is responsible for discovering resources and collecting data. 

A nursing leader can be a positive role model by actively participating in policy review and encouraging other nurses to make a difference through word of mouth or providing education to empower other nurses. Nurses comprise a huge part of the healthcare system and we play an important role, as most of our time is spent with patients we know and understand the specific needs of our patient population. For this reason, RNs and APRNs play a crucial role in advocacy and policy-review.

Reflection Paper

Making Managed Care Work – A Case Study

1-2 pages

Reflection Questions:

Question

Points

Grade

Briefly describe the organization, setting, situation, who is involved, who decides what, etc.

Why was it important to find out what the gaps in services?

What is the main theme of the article?

The organization was successful because they took steps to be prepare, what might have happened if they did not take steps prepare and understand the needs?

As an administrator, is there anything you would have done differently?  Why or why not?

Professional Development Assignments:

• Public health efforts and those of private medicine      complement each other and together serve the spectrum of health service      needs of American society. Why, then, has their relationship been so      contentious?
• The Institute of Medicine report of 1999 cites two      major studies that establish medical errors as one of the leading causes      of death and disability in the United States. Should the federal      government take the necessary steps to monitor the status of this      high-risk situation, as it does with other epidemics, or should the      government continue to trust the providers of health care to deal      forthrightly with the problem?
• Analyze why legislative attempts to address only one of      the trio of rising costs, lack of universal access, or variable quality of      health care only worsens the remaining two.

Please submit one APA formatted paper between 1000 – 1500 words, not including the title and reference page. The assignment should have a minimum of two (2) scholarly sources, in addition to the textbook.

Assignment Expectations

Please I need help with this assignment. There’s an attached file below, thank you.

Students will construct an annotated bibliography. An annotated bibliography is a list of

citations of articles, books, and other publications on a particular topic. Each citation is followed by a

relatively brief paragraph that summarizes the source’s argument and other relevant material including its

intended audience, sources of evidence, and methodology. The assignment will be completed individually

and out of class.

The annotated bibliography consists of two elements:

1. The citation in current AMA style format

2. The Annotation – The annotation should consist of one paragraph using whole complete

sentences in the third person and should be approximately 150-200 words in length. The assignment

should be typed, double spaced, in Times New Roman 12 font, 1” margin.

The annotation should include most, if not all, of the following:

 Explanation of main purpose

 Description of content

 Focus of article

 Relevance of topic

 Type of intended audience

 Evaluate its method, conclusion and/or reliability

 Strengths / weaknesses or biases

 Your own brief impression of the work

Assessment: The assignment will be assessed according to the criteria identified in the grading rubric on

the attached page.

This week’s first assignment is STEP 3 – Literature Review and Critical Appraisal.

The student will complete the following items and submit a Word doc to the assignment link. 

1. Provide a title that conveys or describes the assignment.
2. Literature Review – Provide the key terms used to guide the search for the evidence and provide at least five (5) summaries of research studies to support the evidence.
3. Critical Appraisal of Literature – Discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the evidence, what is known from the evidence and any gaps in knowledge from the research evidence.
4. References – Cite a minimum of five scholarly references in APA 6th ed format. 4 pages

Expectations

my PICO formatted project question is Question: On a medical-surgical hospital unit (P), how does implementing hourly nursing rounding (I), compared to no scheduled rounding (C), affect patient safety (O), within 6 months of implementing (T)?

What role does your facility play in keeping people healthy? Would the Health Leads program work in your facility? Why or why not?

Thinking about your experiences as a student nurse, have you observed effective communication improve patient care outcomes? Have you observed the impact of poor communication on patient outcomes?

INSTRUCTIONS

Follow the 3 x 3 rule: minimum three paragraphs per DQ, with a minimum of three sentences each paragraph.

·      All answers or discussions comments submitted must be in APA format according to Publication Manual American Psychological Association (APA) (6th ed.) 2009 ISBN: 978-1-4338-0561-5

1. Directly respond to at least one classmate in a way that extends meaningful discussions, adds new information, and/or offers alternative perspectives.

Racial and ethnic minorities are less likely to have healthcare coverage, which may have minor interaction with the healthcare system (CDC, 2017). They are more than likely to get dental care and preventative care such as cancer screenings, blood pressure checks, and vaccinations. Racial and ethnic minorities also have a high probability of going to the emergency department for a condition that is not deemed an emergency that could have been treated at a routine appointment (Gindi, Cohen, & Kirzinger, 2012). According to Shi, we should be mindful of vulnerable populations (2014, p.122). We should care because everybody should be entitled to quality healthcare. If we focused more on quality care given to vulnerable populations, it could provide more awareness into health system issues or identify complications that could go unnoticed.

             Vulnerable populations affect healthcare administrators in many ways. Language barriers are common factors that limit access to care. Providers have a hard time screening ethnic minorities that are not proficient in English. The lack of not having a regular source of care (RSC) decreases the possibility of receiving coordinated care, which could impact quality treatment (Shi, 2014). To promote equity, we must first acknowledge the underlying causes and circumstances of vulnerable populations and provide solutions.
