I have a Public Health Program  FINAL PROJ.Proposal (15 pages) On High Blood Pressure (HTN) to fill in. The outlines are already created ( TOPIC is HTN, Objectives are determined, Community is chosen). I need someone with Health care experience what has done previous Assignments on HTN and it an exert on how to address the problem on different levels: INTRApersonal, INTERpersonal, COMMUNITY level, SOCIETY levels.

1)TOPIC:  High blood pressure (hypertension)

2)OBJECTIVES: My health promotion program proposal will focus on optimization of hypertension management in rural communities; 50% reduction in cases of HTN in West Virginia rural community

3)This project focuses on PROGRAM PLANNING MODELS: planning model I   have selected for my proposal is the Intervention Mapping Model.

My Health promotion program proposal will focus on optimization of delivery of rural health care through development of an INTERVENTION PROGRAM that increase hypertension awareness and self-management by using community volunteers as health coaches. YOU will fill in with more details in here.

THE INTERVENTION STRATEGIES are to be filled in, I have already chose a Behavioral theory to be applied.

I have uploaded a FINAL PROJ.EXAMPLE in an adobe, from a collegue, for you to use it as INSPIRATION, please do not COPY PASTE anything from that!

I have submitted two attempts for this question but apparently I am not doing it right so I need someone’s help with this assignment. This is the feedback from my instructor. Could someone truly help me with this homework?

Feedback I am getting:

Non-Performance

Does not support description of effective patient care with current nursing and informatics theoretical ideas.

I appreciated your discussion on effective patient care, and did a good job defining nursing informatics. However, to meet the criteria here, it is asking you to discuss a specific nursing theory or informatics theory (even a Change theory would work here as well) that supports patient care, and apply it to the examples your already provided in this section. Here are some references to help get you started in the right direction. Think about reaching out to your tutor for further clarification if needed. 1. http://ojni.org/issues/?p=2852 2. http://nursingworld.org/MainMenuCategories/ANAMarketplace/ANAPeriodicals/OJIN/TableofContents/Vol-18-2013/No2-May-2013/Impact-of-Evidence-Based-Practice.html 3. http://www.himss.org/right-balance-technology-and-patient-care ”

Week 6: Accountability for Clinical Outcomes and Promoting Safety and Quality

Introduction

Throughout your education, patient safety and improving the quality of patient care have been examined. Through numerous readings and media pieces, you have heard about Never Events. These are serious and costly medical errors that are preventable, such as wrong-side surgery, medication errors, and hospital-acquired infections. Each of these types of medical errors is preventable. The consequences of such errors are now financial as well as legal and emotional. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services no longer reimburse for medical errors classified as Never Events.

As a nurse, how can you help to prevent these types of medical errors? What is your accountability for clinical outcomes? There are standards and core measures in place that guide nursing practice. In addition, the National Database of Nursing Quality Indicators (NDNQI) examines those components of clinical care that are specific to nursing. The NDNQI quantifies, or assesses, these nurse-sensitive components and provides specific feedback on how well nursing practice is being executed in those areas related to patient care.

This week, you will consider a series of articles that focus on strategies for ensuring safety and quality care for patients. You will also explore how successful, efficient teamwork between nurses, nursing leaders, physicians, and other medical personnel can help prevent many of the Never Events from occurring and decrease the likelihood of such events in the future.

Learning Objectives

Students will:

• Analyze the core measures and standards for nursing practice that promote patient safety and quality of care outcomes
• Analyze the impact of the nurse’s role in clinical outcomes for organizations
• Analyze nurse-specific challenges for influencing change in quality improvement
• Analyze the role of the nurse in supporting the organization’s strategic agenda in improving clinical outcomes

Prior Knowledge

It is not uncommon for students to be required to complete group projects or to work as part of a team. While obtaining your RN credentials, or at some time in your work career, you have more than likely at some point been part of a unit or a collaborative team. Reflect on that experience of working with others to achieve a common goal. How did the actions of your team members impact your success as a team? Consider how this same philosophy applies within an organization. How might the actions of the individuals influence the success of the organization?

Discussion: Promoting Safety and Quality

In the article “Managing to Improve Quality: The Relationship Between Accreditation Standards, Safety Practices, and Patient Outcomes,” the authors discuss the growing trend by medical insurance companies to eliminate reimbursement for Never Events. As these types of mistakes should be easily preventable, hospitals have developed protocols to lessen or extinguish the occurrence of these events. In addition, The Joint Commission (TJC) and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) have developed core measures to guide health care providers’ efforts in improving patient safety and the quality of care delivered.

Health care organizations have developed strategic agendas to help meet these standards and reduce the incidence of Never Events. Nurses significantly influence the overall quality of health care provided and play a pivotal role in improving patient outcomes.

For this Discussion, you will consider the standards that are in place for nurses and how they can be used to improve quality of care.

To prepare for this Discussion:

• Review the information at the Joint Commission and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services websites on the core measures and standards presented in this week’s Learning Resources.
• Consider the nurse’s role in supporting the organization’s strategic agenda as it relates to improving clinical outcomes.
• Conduct an Internet search for either a Never Event or a core measure, and select one to address in your post.

By Day 3

Respond to the following:

• How has the emphasis on quality of care, patient safety, and clinical care outcomes been impacted by specific standards emanating from TJC and/or CMS? Cite your selected core measure or Never Event in your response.
• What is the impact of the nurse’s role in clinical outcomes for the organization?
• Discuss nurse-specific challenges in influencing change in quality improvement.
• How does this influence the ability of the organization to achieve its strategic agenda?

Support your response with references from the professional nursing literature.

Note Initial Post: A 3-paragraph (at least 250–350 words) response. Be sure to use evidence from the readings and include in-text citations. Utilize essay-level writing practice and skills, including the use of transitional material and organizational frames. Avoid quotes; paraphrase to incorporate evidence into your own writing. A reference list is required. Use the most current evidence (usually ≤ 5 years old).

Read two or more of your colleagues’ postings from the Discussion question (support with evidence if indicated).
