Nursing

/in /by

Nursing is a very highly regulated profession. There are over 100 boards of nursing and national nursing associations throughout the United States and its territories. Their existence helps regulate, inform, and promote the nursing profession. With such numbers, it can be difficult to distinguish between BONs and nursing associations, and overwhelming to consider various benefits and options offered by each.

Both boards of nursing and national nursing associations have significant impacts on the nurse practitioner profession and scope of practice. Understanding these differences helps lend credence to your expertise as a professional. In this Assignment, you will practice the application of such expertise by communicating a comparison of boards of nursing and professional nurse associations. You will also share an analysis of your state board of nursing.

To Prepare:

  • Assume that you are leading a staff development meeting on regulation for nursing practice at your healthcare organization or agency.
  • Review the NCSBN and ANA websites to prepare for your presentation.

The Assignment: (9- to 10-slide PowerPoint presentation)

Develop a 9- to 10-slide PowerPoint Presentation that addresses the following:

  • Describe the differences between a board of nursing and a professional nurse association.
  • Describe the geographic distribution, academic credentials, practice positions, and licensure status of members of the board for your specific region/area.
    • Who is on the board?
    • How does one become a member of the board?
  • Describe at least one federal regulation for healthcare.
    • How does this regulation influence delivery, cost, and access to healthcare (e.g., CMS, OSHA, and EPA)?
    • Has there been any change to the regulation within the past 5 years? Explain.
  • Describe at least one state regulation related to general nurse scope of practice.
    • How does this regulation influence the nurse’s role?
    • How does this regulation influence delivery, cost, and access to healthcare?
  • Describe at least one state regulation related to Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs).
    • How does this regulation influence the nurse’s role?
    • How does this regulation influence delivery, cost, and access to healthcare?

Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC).

/in /by

n the media introduction to this module, it was suggested that you as a nurse have an important role in the Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC). With a focus on patient care and outcomes, nurses may not always see themselves as contributors to the development of new systems. However, as you may have observed in your own experience, exclusion of nurse contributions when implementing systems can have dire consequences.

In this Discussion, you will consider the role you might play in systems development and the ramifications of not being an active participant in systems development.

To Prepare:

  • Review the steps of the Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC) as presented in the Resources.
  • Reflect on your own healthcare organization and consider any steps your healthcare organization goes through when purchasing and implementing a new health information technology system.
  • Consider what a nurse might contribute to decisions made at each stage of the SDLC when planning for new health information technology.

Post a description of what you believe to be the consequences of a healthcare organization not involving nurses in each stage of the SDLC when purchasing and implementing a new health information technology system. Provide specific examples of potential issues at each stage of the SDLC and explain how the inclusion of nurses may help address these issues. Then, explain whether you had any input in the selection and planning of new health information technology systems in your nursing practice or healthcare organization and explain potential impacts of being included or not in the decision-making process. Be specific and provide examples.

 health care policy

/in /by

Investigate your organization’s compliance rate with one specific  core measure of your choice and write a 2-3-page (maximum) executive  summary analyzing the financial and regulatory impact of organizational  compliance with your chosen measure. Include recommendations for  improving performance on the measure.

In order to promote safe, caring, patient-centered environments,  nurse leaders must both conceptually understand and be proficient at  performing a wide variety of leadership skills. Effective nursing  leaders develop and maintain awareness of issues that emerge at many  levels within and outside of their organizations. In addition to  developing self-assessing competencies necessary for their roles, nurse  leaders must also acquire organizational and systems leadership skill  sets.

In this program, you have examined the role, concepts, and principles of  health care policy and how legal and regulatory agencies interact with  professional nursing practice. You have also looked closely at the  factors that impact disparities in health care access. This  understanding of health care policy, as well as the multicultural,  socioeconomic, political, legal, and regulatory elements that affect  individuals, communities, and vulnerable populations, positions nurses  to bring about change through effective communication with colleagues,  consumers, and officials. Added to this is your demonstrated knowledge  of financial management and cost containment, as well as how they affect  quality of care.

To help you prepare for this assessment, review the resources you used  and the assessments you completed in BSN-FP4006, BSN-FP4008, and  BSN-FP4012.

For this assessment, write an executive summary analyzing the  financial and regulatory impact of organizational compliance with a  specific core measure of your choice. The summary must include  recommendations for improving performance on the measure.

You must be able to explain the financial implications associated  with the measure, as well as its importance in terms of policy,  regulation, and finance. This is another good opportunity to consult  with a key stakeholder within the organization. Talking to someone who  works closely with the organization’s finances can help you develop a  deeper understanding of the financial aspects of compliance. You also  need to suggest ways your organization can improve compliance and how  you would implement changes and overcome obstacles.

This may seem like an enormous undertaking, but you should approach  it as if you were to present this information to your supervisor or  manager. Keeping in mind that people in these positions do not have time  to read a 10–12-page report, you would typically give them only an  executive summary of your analyses and recommendations. That means that  you will need to be very clear and very concise with the information you  choose to include in the executive summary. Say as much as possible  with as few words as possible.

Directions

Select a core measure and investigate your organization’s  compliance rate with the measure. In your executive summary, address the  following:

  1. Compare the compliance rates of your organization with those of other organizations.
  2. Explain why the measure is important in terms of policy, regulation, and finance.
  3. Describe changes that could be made that would improve compliance with the measure.
  4. Identify the stakeholders who would be affected by the changes.
  5. Identify obstacles you would expect to encounter and explain strategies to overcome these obstacles.

Additional Requirements

  • Format: Include a title page and references page. As this is an executive summary, do not  use APA style and formatting. To determine the appropriate format, it  may be helpful for you to review the documents used in your  organization. How do they look? What kind of language is used in memos?  These can help guide your development of this executive summary.  Certainly, feel free to use bullet points as appropriate.
  • Length: Write a 2–3-page (maximum) summary of your information, not including the title page and references page.
  • References: You must still reference scholarly  resources to support your work. Use at least three current scholarly or  professional resources.
  • Font: Use 12-point, Times New Roman font.
