Discussion Question

Healthcare policies impact all populations. Now, with the use of social media, policies involvement and awareness are rising.

1. Take a moment to review the Twitter feed for compelling Tweets that are related to healthcare policy and are directly impacting your community or those you care for.
2. Give an overview of a policy or potential policy. Include how it could impact your community or those you care for positively negatively.
3. Next, discuss the importance that interdisciplinary collaboration would have related to the policy.
4. Then, identify any ethical concerns it raises for you and why.
5. Compose a 280-character or fewer Tweet that describes what you have shared with the class. Remember Twitter only allows 280 characters (this include spaces, etc.) so you will need to be concise. It should include a hashtag. Include a reference URL if applicable. Share this Tweet in the discussion. (Note: A Twitter account is not required).
6. Your discussion post should look like:
   • Paragraph one: overview of the policy or potential policy. Include how it could impact your community or those you care for positively negatively.

Maria,( THIS WAS MY PROFESSOR)

Thank you for sharing this application of the Dynamics of Trust Model to resolving conflict. The first step is to recognize that there is a trust issue for either you, the other person, or both. You did this well in your description. Looking at this model again, more closely, what are the next steps to applying this model to resolving the conflict? How can you use this model to rebuild trust?

For this post, and for this class, I am going to speak about the Dynamics of Trust model. My reason for wanting to consider this model is that I feel you can apply it to more than just situations of conflict. Even when speaking about conflict, I believe it is applicable to all conflict. According to Gulati & Sytch (2008), trust plays a part in day to day life, and even various fields of academia are researching and confirming it’s influence whether it is sociology, psychology, or even economics. 

Regarding this model, it seeks to look at the dynamics of turst (of couse) but also how we attribute blame (Furlong, 2005). I think this is very interesting, the part about how we attribute blame. Often, and it is no shame to admit this, we blame others. No one wants to point at themselves for mistakes, espeically if they find themselves in a conflict with someone they do not think they can trust. Almost by association, it is instinct to blame those we do not trust. A great example of this from my life is a time when I thought my cousin stole money from me. It wound up not being true, I misplaced my wallet and found it days later. However, my cousin had served jail time for theft and on more than one occaisson. So when he came to stay with me and my brothers, and when I could not find my wallet, I thought it seemed reasonable to blame and not trust him because of his past.

READ CASE STUDY ANSWER QUESTIONS ATTACHED APA STYLE PAPER

Chevron Medical Center is a 300 bed trauma hospital in La Porte, Indiana. Chevron Medical Center is a Joint Commission approved Medicare, Medicaid facility and houses a separate large outpatient surgery center adjacent to the main hospital. (You) Sandy Marshall is the Director of Health Information Management, and manage all of the records for both the main hospital and the outpatient surgery center.

Ten months ago, Chevron Medical Center moved totally away from paper medical records and implemented an electronic health record (EHR) system. The move was completed in three phases over an eighteen month time span. The majority of your 16 employees were ecstatic about the move to an EHR and were fully onboard with the change. One of your employees, Donna Hartford is frustrated over all of the security features associated with the new EHR. Donna is very vocal about wanting some of the security features disabled so she can get faster access to patient records and not have to sign in multiple times a day due to the systems auto shut down if idle for 10 minutes. The current process in place for all hospital employees is to first log on to Chevron Medical Center’s main system with a user name (assigned by the hospital IT department) and password (selected by the employee); second, then log on to the electronic health record using the main user name but a different password along with an access code (again assigned by the hospital IT department).

Donna wants to sign on one time and access anything she wants within the main system and electronic health record for as long as she wants with no additional logons or lock outs. She has assured you and the hospitals risk management department she will sign off completely when she goes on breaks, lunch, and at the end of her shift.

Donna has been extremely negative in regards to the new EHR sign on process and has made it a daily goal of hers to complain to anyone and everyone she comes in contact with. This includes co-workers, physician’s, department heads, other employees within the facility, and etc. Once a week, you have a brief department meeting with your staff just to touch base on how things are going, new items you need to share with them, productivity levels, concerns, and etc. During these meetings, Donna exhibits severe negative behavior emphasizing the need to eliminate the security features within the EHR. She becomes very verbally aggressive when one or more of her co-workers do not agree with her and say they have no issues with the process currently in place. There have been one or two times she has hit her fist on the table and shook her finger at everyone. Donna’s behavior is very disruptive and has all your other employee’s fearful she may become physically violent at any given moment. You have consulted Donna on her behavior in the past and she manages to tone it down for several weeks. But within two to three weeks she is back to her aggressive behavior again. You have had quite a number of complaints from other employee’s throughout the facility and know you must take action to control this situation.

Due to the State and Federal rules and regulations in regards to confidentiality and security of patient health information, you are at a loss as to how to possibly accommodate Donna’s request. You have reviewed:

1. Chevron Medical Center’s internal policy and procedures on confidentiality, security, and access to patient health records. It clearly states due to HIPAA and Joint Commission regulations, all EHR systems must be equipped with confidentiality, security, and access controls for protecting patient health records.

Goal:

Identify the tenets and application of a nursing theory. Discuss the impact of the identified nursing theory on evidence-based practice. 

Your presentation should include the following:

– Identify the nurse theory selected.
– Provide an overview of the concepts of the nursing theory.
– Analyze the application of the selected nursing theory for evidence-based practice.
– Provide recommendations for application of selected nursing theory
