Providing Culturally Appropriate Services in a Changing Community
1. Explain the meaning of cultural competence, its benefits and limits.
2. Describe how the demand-for-services should or should not shape Our Covenant Health Center’s approach to its community and original mission. (In addressing this, you must indicate whether you would or would not change the mission, and explain why or why not.)
3. Examine the ethical considerations behind reducing the social worker and lay health worker to part time positions in order to provide funding for another part-time bilingual social worker and part-time Spanish-English interpreter. (You must look at this from all angles, not just one side).
4. Explain why you would or would not take this approach (as noted in No. 3) to provide more Spanish-speaking health care workers, and provide at least one other option for this clinic.
5. Examine how public health organizations and health care providers encourage their employees to gain “cultural competence” beyond being bilingual.

 

Does the CNO in your organization use the same HIT as the nurses at the bedside? What about those individuals who work in admissions?

The use health information technology in Nursing Assignment # 1 How do you use health information technology in your daily work activities? Does the CNO in your organization use the same HIT as the nurses at the bedside? What about those individuals who work in admissions? In order to develop an information system that can facilitate the ability to track, share, and analyze patient data, an organization has to take into account the differing needs or views of various departments. In this Discussion, you consider the differing viewpoints of the professionals within your organization. Imagine what your colleagues’ needs might be and how they might use a HIT system to access and share information to promote evidence-based care. What are the similarities and differences in how this technology would be used by physicians, lab techs, administrators, nurses, informaticians, and others? To prepare: . Review this week’s media presentation, focusing on how the VA’s VistA system demonstrates data flow across an organization. Reflect on your organization’s information architecture and the various information needs of different groups within your work setting. What constraints has your organization faced with implementing health information technology systems that meet everyone’s needs? Consider speaking with your colleagues from different areas about this topic.
Ask yourself: How does the flow of data across my organization support, or inhibit, evidence-based practice? Title: Information Architecture one page 6th edition APA 2 references
1. Differentiate the information needs within your organization. For example, how might the needs of an administrator differ from the needs of a physician or lab tech?
2. Explain the impact of these different needs on the implementation of HIT in your present organization.
3. Evaluate how the flow of information across HIT systems within your organization supports or inhibits evidence-based practice.
Assignment # 2 To prepare:
• Visit the AMIA Video Library 1: Nursing Informatics Pioneers webpage listed in the Learning Resources.
• Review the biographies and video presentations of pioneers who are of interest to you, or may hold a position that you aspire to achieve.
• Select two nursing informatics pioneers and conduct further research on their contributions.
• Consider how their contributions have influenced health information technology and nursing practice today.
To complete: Title: Nursing Informatics Pioneers
Write a scholarly 3 page paper comparing two nursing informatics pioneers. Synthesize your thoughts using the bullets below as a guide: 4 references apa 6th edition
1. What are the professional accomplishments of each individual?
2. How have their contributions influenced nursing practice?
3. How have their contributions shaped the field of nursing informatics?
4. What lessons can you take away from their experiences?
5. What skills or ideas demonstrated by these leaders might you apply to your professional practice?
ASSIGNMENT # 3 What are the advantages of standardizing coding terminologies? And what is the best way to achieve consistency for information systems? As Dr. John Glaser notes in the “What Is Health Informatics?” media presentation (assigned in Week 1), a group of physicians may use many different terms to describe one patient’s painful experience. This simple example can be extrapolated to guide your thinking about the obstacles that have arisen for information system development because of the varied and complex nature of health care. In this week’s Discussion, you evaluate the interoperability and coding challenges encountered in today’s health care organizations.
To prepare:
• Think about how controlled terminology and standards facilitate information sharing, for example, sharing data between an emergency care clinic and a pharmacy or between a primary care physician’s office and a specialist’s office.
• Reflect on the national health IT agenda as presented in the Learning Resources.
• Consider challenges health care providers are facing in light of the national health IT agenda related to sharing data across information systems and/or controlled terminology standards. What strategies could a health care organization use to address interoperability challenges? Conduct additional research as necessary to determine possible solutions.
Tittle: Controlled Terminology and Standards a cohesive response that addresses the following: one page apa 6th edition 2 references
1. Evaluate the challenges that health care organizations may face when sharing data across systems.
2. Using your professional experience and/or information gathered through research, provide at least two specific examples of interoperability challenges.
3. Propose at least two strategies a health care organization might implement to address interoperability challenges. . WITH US .

Internal Code: MAS4364 cleanessays.com Case Study: Janet Jackson is a 40 year old woman. She is a single parent with three teenage children. She has been experiencing symptoms which has led to a diagnosis of uterine fibroids (leiomyomas). Janet has a history of depression and is a heavy smoker. Janet was admitted to hospital for a vaginal hysterectomy via spinal anaesthesia. After 2 hours in the post-anaesthetic recovery room (PARU) she was transferred to the ward. She has an indwelling urinary catheter insitu and patient controlled analgesia.

Compare the horizontally integrated health system and the vertically integrated health system you have selected (e.g., size, settings/locations, and types of services).

/in /by

” Intermountain Healthcare is a high-performing integrated health system with facilities in Utah and Idaho. The health system has a long-standing clinical integration structure that encourages professional collaboration. Despite this, in 1999, many physicians at Intermountain Healthcare found it difficult to fulfill the needs of patients with co-occurring physical and mental health conditions. To efficiently and effectively address this issue, Intermountain Healthcare adopted a mental health integration model in many of its primary care facilities, as well as some of its specialty clinics and partner clinics. The team-based approach has improved the coordination of services, resulting in higher quality care at a savings of cost.”
Consider the example above. *****Do not answer following questions, it is just example ****What advantages does integration afford Intermountain Healthcare? Do other integrated health systems experience similar benefits? Are there disadvantages to integration? If so, what are they?
