Comment 1

The Christian concept of imago dei is described by Shelly & Miller (2006) as man being created in the image of God, granting dignity and honor to everyone while separating mankind from everything else on earth.

This is important to healthcare because human lives depend on healthcare.  By focusing the attention on preserving life and granting each person dignity, we value each human’s life over and above everything else on earth, as God intended.  While postmodernism would hold a humans life less valuable since that philosophy believes the humans are simply another organism on earth, with the same value as a rock (Shelly &, 2006).

This belief is relevant because if we are all viewed as imago dei, then there are moral consequences if we choose to treat humans as
equal to all other animals in creation.  As Shelly & Miller (2006) asserts, men may eat other animals in the world, but according to the Christian concept of imago dei, we were placed here as separate and superior beings and it is not appropriate to eat another human being, shoot a person for an illness or disability, and while we are free
to choose, it is our responsibility to treat the sick and dying with dignity and respect with hope for a positive outcome.

Comment 2

The Christian concept of imago Dei as explained by our text is that all humans are created in the image and likeness of god; because of this, human life is deemed valuable and special among all other life forms (Shelly & Miller, 2006). This is an important and basic concept that bares relevance to many aspects within humanity. In the context of healthcare, this is an especially crucial and fundamental understanding. Healthcare providers, caregivers, and all disciplines of the occupation should practice with this core understanding always in mind which transcends across religions and personal beliefs/opinions. Human life is a gift, and as such, each life is significant and meaningful, deserving of respect, empathy, kindness and dignity. A person’s worth and dignity is not determined by their health status, bodily functions or medical prognosis. Healthcare workers should always uphold this truth and honor a person’s right to this understanding. This should be a standard of all care, regardless of if the person’s medical decisions are not in opposition to the healthcare worker’s personal opinion or choice (Sevensky, n.d.).

For this assignment, write a 750-1,000-word commentary that addresses a trend/topic related to ADHD.

This means that your essay should review a single trend related to ADHD. For instance, you could analyze one of the following trends (you are not limited to this list; these are suggestions):

· Increase in ADHD Diagnoses

· Impact of ADHD on a Child’s Schooling

· Impact of New ADHD Treatments

· Hidden Dangers of ADHD Medications

· The Reasoning Behind ADHD Awareness Week

· ADHD and the Zombie Phenomenon

· ADHD Drug Overdoses

This essay is NOT a summary of several different elements of ADHD. Rather, it is an analysis of a single trend related to ADHD, including various elements of that single trend.

Your review should include at least five scholarly sources outside of class texts.

Directions

1. Label or Identify the Subject: Provide the name for the trend and provide some context or background for the subject.

2. Explain the Subject: Find a pattern of meaning in the trend (e.g., speculate as to causes and effects of an event, compare with a similar case, or offer an example).

3. Make a Judgment/Offer an Opinion: Evaluate the trend using third person; offer praise or critique the trend, offering evidence to support your claims.

Project: Promoting Health Care Quality

 

Project Overview

 

Complete instructions are provided in this week’s Learning Resources.

 

In this course, you develop a comprehensive Course Project: Promoting Health Care Quality. To initiate this project, this week you examine the systems and structures of an organization with which you are familiar. This analysis will serve as a foundation for developing a plan to address a quality improvement issue.

 

Section 1: Organizational Systems and Structures Evaluation

 

When a problem related to health care quality and patient safety arises, there can be an inclination to focus on a specific event rather than to examine the larger context surrounding it. Analyzing the systems and structures within an organization provides a foundation for generating a fuller understanding of how and why the event occurred and for developing strategies to address the underlying issues. Perhaps more importantly, such an analysis can be used to proactively identify potential challenges and improve organizational systems and structures in order to promote positive outcomes.

 

In the first section of your Course Project, you analyze the systems and structures of a health care organization with which you are familiar.

 

To prepare:

 

Identify a health care organization with which you are familiar; one that you will be able to sufficiently analyze to complete the full scope of the Course Project. (Refer to the Course Project Overview as needed.) This may be the same organization that you addressed in this week’s Discussion.

 

Select two or more of the following frameworks:

 

Learning organizations

Complex adaptive systems (CAS)

Clinical microsystems

Good to great

The 5 Ps

 

You may use the same frameworks that you addressed in this week’s Discussion.

Check below link

 

(https://www.homeworkmarket.com/content/nurs-6231-healthcare-systems-and-quality-outcomes-discussion-3-grading-rubic-and-media-attac)

 

With these frameworks in mind, analyze the systems and structures of the organization. Be sure to research and consider:

 

Mission, vision, and values

Strategic plan, goals, and objectives, if possible

Key operational processes and patterns

Information technology use

Organizational priorities and investments, as indicated by financial data

 

As you continue your evaluation of a health care organization, it is essential to pay attention to culture. Organizational culture provides the context in which all interactions and processes occur, and is therefore central to any effort to enact change.

 

In addition, consider the ideas and information exchanged in this week’s Discussion. Continue to analyze essential elements of organizational culture and evaluate the influence of culture on the ability to achieve goals within your selected organization.

 

Use the below link also (https://www.homeworkmarket.com/content/nurs-6231-healthcare-systems-and-quality-outcomes-discussion-4-grading-rubic-and-media-attac)

Provide a description of the organization you selected

Present your analysis of the organization with attention to:

Its mission, vision, values

Strategic plan, goals, and objectives

Key operational processes and patterns

Information technology use

Organizational priorities and investments, as indicated by financial data

The essential elements of the organization’s culture

The influence of culture on meeting organizational goals

Changes in culture and technology have resulted in patient populations that are often well informed and educated, even before consulting or considering a healthcare need delivered by a health professional. Fueled by this, health professionals are increasingly involving patients in treatment decisions. However, this often comes with challenges, as illnesses and treatments can become complex.

What has your experience been with patient involvement in treatment or healthcare decisions?

In this Discussion, you will share your experiences and consider the impact of patient involvement (or lack of involvement). You will also consider the use of a patient decision aid to inform best practices for patient care and healthcare decision making.

To Prepare:

• Review the Resources and reflect on a time when you experienced a patient being brought into (or not being brought into) a decision regarding their treatment plan.
• Review the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute’s Decision Aids Inventory at https://decisionaid.ohri.ca/.
  • Choose “For Specific Conditions,” then Browse an alphabetical listing of decision aids by health topic.

NOTE: To ensure compliance with HIPAA rules, please DO NOT use the patient’s real name or any information that might identify the patient or organization/practice.
