 Reflect upon your selected practice problem DIABETES and select one of the organizational or behavioral change models which were used in healthcare for many years up until the early 2000s. (PROCHASKA AND DICLEMENTI’S CHANGE THEORY) (KNOWLEDGE OF BEHAVIOR CHANGE THEORIES)  Due to the changing nature of our healthcare environment and the growing complexity of our patients, these older models and theories lost their ability to provide a successful framework in healthcare and are not currently used for translation science and nursing clinical practice change projects.

  • Select one model or theory from the readings or lesson this week.
  • Provide a description of the components in the organizational or behavioral change models or theory.
  • Does the model or theory contain a component for appraising the evidence?
  • Does the model or theory contain a component for networking with the stakeholders during the design phase and continuing through the sustaining phase of the project?
  • Does the model contain components for identifying barriers and addressing barriers to implementation?

MY CHANGE THEORY PROBLEM IS RELATED TO DIABETES  PLEASE INCORPORATE WITH PROCHASKA AND DICLEMENTIS’S CHANGE THEORY,

 HEALTH LAW AND ETHICS

FIND THE REGULATIONS THAT APPLY FOR EACH AND CITE THEM

  1. You are a physician in a four doctor group practice. You would like the group to purchase an X-Ray machine as an ancillary diagnostic service to their medical practice. The group agrees but insists that all fees for the technical component billed to Medicare for the X-Rays should be split up based solely upon who ordered the test. (The technical component is the charge for the X-Ray itself and is not for the professional part of the radiologist or other doctor who reads or interprets the X-Ray.) Also, there is not enough space at the office building where the group practices to house the MRI machine so they want to lease space in the building next door for the MRI. What is your response to these proposals.

(I suggest looking to the fraud and abuse regulations to find support for your answers i.e. Stark and the Anti-Kickback Act. First, determine whether the laws apply and then see if there is a Stark exception or Anti-Kickback safe harbor that addresses this ancillary service and if the proposals are compliant with those exceptions or safe harbors. If not, why not?)

  1. You are the compliance officer of a Medicare certified hospice. In reviewing this month’s claims submitted for payment to Medicare you discover that of the 15 new hospice admissions, for the first 90 days of hospice coverage, the medical records contain 10 written certifications of terminal illness signed by the hospice medical director within 48 hours of the initiation of service; 2 were written and signed but only after 5 days from the initiation of service and 3 have no written certifications at all, however, your staff confirms that for those last three, each of the patient’s attending physician verbally certified the terminal illness. All of the written certifications state the time frame for life expectancy for the newly admitted patients, however, the staff forgot to verify the time frame of life expectancy in their verbal conversations with the 2 attending physicians who gave verbal certificates. You decide to call the two attending physicians. What time frame of life expectancy do you need to confirm? Also, of these 15 new claims, how many do you think could be denied for payment by Medicare and why?

(This problem requires a careful analysis of the Medicare reimbursement coverage issues).

  1. You sister would like to start a new personal care attendant healthcare business. A personal care attendant (“PCA”) business is licensed by the State of Louisiana as part of the Home and Community Based Service Providers. Essentially, a PCA company provides direct service workers to go to people’s homes who have disabilities to help them with Activities of Daily Living, and some very basic medication management. Your sister has asked you to help her with some licensing questions, as follows:
  2. Is it OK to base the company out of her home until she makes enough money to rent an office?
  3. She can secure financing from her bank through a line of credit but only for $50,000, is that enough?
  4. Your sister would like for her boyfriend to be a co-owner, he has a prior misdemeanor conviction for possession of marijuana. Would that prohibit him from being an owner?
  5. Once the PCA company starts making money and she moves it into a new office, she would like to sell her home and establish residency in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, just across the border. She doesn’t mind the commute and plans to continue to serve as the PCA company’s administrator. She has a college degree and use to work for five years for the Council for the Aged in Slidell providing service to the elderly. Is that OK?

(I suggest looking to licensing regulations to find support for your answers).

  1. You are the hospital administrator of one of three large hospitals in Metropolis, Louisiana. You would like to institute a new policy to help the city’s ambulance company by replenishing the ambulances that transport patients to your hospital’s emergency room with drugs, linens and other supplies that the ambulance EMT crew may have used in stabilizing the patient prior to transfer. You need to establish a policy that is compliant with the Anti-Kickback Act to avoid having a problem with Medicare should the other hospitals complain that you are giving the ambulance company a kickback to steer patients to your emergency room. Draft a policy to replenish the ambulances that is compliant with the Anti-Kickback Act.

(This is obviously a Federal Healthcare Program Anti-Kickback problem. Is there an applicable safe harbor?)

  1. You are psychologist. Your last patient just left your office. She had just been fired from her position as a school counsellor and she was extremely bitter. During the therapy session she said that she wanted to “get even” with the school administration and “make them pay” for firing her which she believes was completely unjustified. You were unable to get any more details regarding her feelings about being fired. Can you disclose what she said and if so, to whom?

(Consult the Privacy Rules under HIPAA, and determine what one must do under the law in a case like this).

Assessment 4

  • Cost Savings Analysis
  • OverviewPrepare a spreadsheet of cost savings data showing efficiency gains attributable to care coordination over the course of one fiscal year, and report your key findings in an executive summary, 4–5 pages in length.
    Information plays a fundamental role in health care. Providers such as physicians and hospitals create and process information as they deliver care to patients. However, managing that information and using it productively poses an ongoing challenge, particularly in light of the complexity of the U.S. health care sector, with its many diverse settings for care and types of providers and services. Health information technology (HIT) has the potential to considerably increase the productivity of the health sector by assisting providers in managing information. Furthermore, HIT can improve the quality of health care and, ultimately, the outcomes of that care for patients.
  • The use of HIT has been upheld as having remarkable promise in improving the efficiency, quality, cost-effectiveness, and safety of medical care delivery in our nation’s health care system. This assessment provides an opportunity for you to examine how utilizing HIT can positively affect the financial health of an organization, improve patient health, and create better health outcomes.
    By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:

    • Competency 1: Apply care coordination models to improve the patient experience, promote population health, and reduce costs. 
      • Describe ways in which care coordination can generate cost savings.
    • Competency 2: Explain the relationship between care coordination and evidence-based data.

 The article is attached at the bottom read it and answer the questions in essay style. APA format 

 

The article(You need to tell which article that you are discussing) talks more about the three domains that surround the nursing profession the satisfaction of nurses during work progress, nursing work environment, and quality of nursing care that is given. These domains are studied to come up with a way forward in providing a very comprehensive and quality delivery (Liaschenko, J. (1995). This write-up provides a clear relationship between the nurses and the organization that is found in this sector, example NSW health organizations. The interaction between the nurses and these organizations is important as it allows the organizations to study the needs of the nurses and providing a better environment. This writes up is concerned with the studies of how the environment for nurses has raised a major issue that compromises the nurses’ satisfaction. The satisfaction of nurses comes from the environment where nurses work from, leading to a perfect job. This study also provides valuable insights that conclude that the changes in the practice environment of the nurse come with a positive impact on the job of the nurse whereby he/she performs better that is a result of satisfaction. You never stated the framework used in the article: I suspect you are discussing “Investing n Human Relations….? which used the Structure- Process- Outcome (SBO) paradigm/model. This is stated in the article.

The literature also gives an analysis of the relationship between the three domains determining the satisfaction of the nurses. The three domains include the nursing practice environment, job satisfaction, and the quality of nursing care as a single-dimensional. The research is saying that the three Domains are mutually dependent on one another therefore, effects that come as a result of one can cause harm to the other factors. It has been Witten in this article that the services provided by nurses who are working in an unfavorable environment may end up providing fair or poor health care.

Therefore the nurses must be provided with a very conducive environment to enable them to come up with greater services that can be liked and help the patients. The research of this paper was done in the year 1999 up to 2010 but there were no findings that could explain the three domains that is nursing practice environment, job satisfaction, and equity of nursing care in reciprocal directions (Castle et.al 2006). The nursing practice environmental changes are drawn without the proper consideration of how each domain can affect each other. The change in the healthcare system will also raise issues whereby the nurses tend to believe that these changes will have effects on the effectiveness, efficiency, and timeliness of the patients’ health care. The article also says that despite all changes from the restructuring of the health system, the nurses are still getting problems at work, facing hostility, injuries, and verbal abuse. This statement makes it clear that there is a need for us to study the possible improvements in the three domains. The purpose of this paper is to reveal the possible relationship between the three domains

Primary source_ you were required to name a primary source used in the article which you did not name and provide an electronic link for the primary source with a summary of the abstract. This was not completed. Download the assignment to a word doc and complete the categories for discussion.

This source provides the strategies for analyzing the qualitative data that is used in health services research (Fylan F, 2005). These include data designing of data to come up with the relevant information that is used in the analysis. The analysis is done by using data that is collected. This data analysis can lead to practical approaches that are very important to the research. There is also a description approach of data analysis that applies the use of inductive reasoning that provides guidance and directions for data analysis and interpretation. Qualitative inquiry can help to break down the complex analysis phenomena in the health services researches.

Secondary source+ same problem here as noted with primary source. Follow the directions.

The relationship between the three domains that are; nursing practice environment, job satisfaction, and quality of nursing healthcare has been explored by many studies to provide a superior health delivery by nurses (Bradley EH, Curry LA, Devers KJ, 2007). This literature reveals that the relationship between the three domains is one dimensional that has resulted in the structural changes in the nursing environment to meet the nurses’ needs. The paper comes with the reciprocal evidence in the relationships between the domains regarding the NSW health organization. This research was conducted through questionnaires that provided the results of how the nurse’s interactions with the administrations impacted the relationships between the three domains.
