Payor Mix

Payor Mix

Some of you have indicated a desire that your health system would target, at least in some measure, underserved populations in your community. Even if you have not highlighted care of the underserved in prior discussions, let us assume that in terms of public relations with the community, the executive leadership of your health system realize that they must deal with the full scope of payer mix to some extent which includes:

1.  Patients with commercial insurance (a.k.a. private insurance)

2.  Patients with “public” insurance (i.e., Medicare and Medicaid)

3. Even patients with no insurance at all.

As you prepare your health system to bring on APNs in a variety of inpatient and outpatient settings, explain what you—and the executive management of your organization—need to understand how to effectively utilize APNs given the reality of the payer mix described above.

The Planning Process

DUE 3/15/2018 8 P.M EST

PUBLIC HEALTH ….CAMPAIGN PRESCRIPTION DRUG OVERDOSE

APA FORMAT MIN 4 REFERENCES

 

Discussion: The Planning Process

In planning for your public health campaign (PRESCRIPTION DRUG OVERDOSE), first you must identify the problem. You ask questions such as “what is happening in the community?” and “what are the critical issues that need to be addressed within my target audience?” By asking these types of questions, you gain knowledge about the true needs of the community and can develop public health campaigns reflecting those needs. Second, you must establish your goals for your campaign, and identify effective marketing techniques and a communication plan. The planning process is a comprehensive yet valuable tool for any public health leader to maintain clarity, organization, and focus of the campaign.

For this Discussion, consider the important elements of the planning process and what factors (individual, environmental, financial, social, to name a few) could inhibit or enhance the development and/or implementation of your public health campaign.

With these thoughts in mind:

Post a brief description of which element of the planning process is most valuable in developing a public health campaign (PRESCRIPTION DRUG OVERDOSE) and explain why. Then describe one factor (individual, environmental, financial, etc.) that may facilitate and one factor that may inhibit the planning of your public health campaign and explain why.

diabetes

 Details:

The first step of the EBP process is to develop a question from the nursing practice problem of interest.

Select a practice problem of interest to use as the focus of your research.

Start with the patient and identify the clinical problems or issues that arise from clinical care.

(You can choose diabetes or any other you would like)

Following the PICOT format, write a PICOT statement in your selected practice problem area of interest, which is applicable to your proposed capstone project.

The PICOT statement will provide a framework for your capstone project (the project students must complete during their final course in the RN-BSN program of study).

Conduct a literature search to locate research articles focused on your selected practice problem of interest. This literature search should include both quantitative and qualitative peer-reviewed research articles to support your practice problem.

Select six peer-reviewed research articles which will be utilized through the next 5 weeks as reference sources. Be sure that some of the articles use qualitative research and that some use quantitative research. Create a reference list in which the six articles are listed. Beneath each reference include the article’s abstract. The completed assignment should have a title page and a reference list with abstracts.

Write a 3–5 page executive summary that examines an organization’s diversity policies and practices.

 

To prepare for this assessment, use the Internet to study the impact of health system’s power structure on nursing, leadership, diversity related to empowerment in nursing and patient outcomes, and recruitment of a diverse workforce. You may also wish to look for examples of an executive summary on the Internet.

  • Identify a type of health care facility and examine the Web site and available public information to review the organization of the nursing department, nursing recruitment, and any information about the diversity of the system’s workforce and leadership.
    • You may use the health care setting in which you currently work or have worked in the past.
    • Describe the type of organization and region. Example: a major Midwestern teaching hospital or a rehabilitation hospital on the East Coast. **Central Florida Region**
      • Do not report the name of the facility.

Deliverable: Executive Summary of Organizational Diversity

Read the following scenario:

Scenario:
The city in which you work has undergone a significant population shift within the last 10 years, due to increased employment, education opportunities, and an influx of immigrants and refugees. To put the population shift in perspective, the local school district enrollment report states that nearly 100 languages are spoken in the schools, up from 32 languages in the last census. Senior leadership has asked you to examine all types of multiculturalism and diversitywithin your health care organization.
To do this, you will need to use a systems perspective to examine the relationship between a diverse workforce and patient outcomes; identify gaps between best practices and the organization’s diversity policies, and make a recommendation for organizational change.

In the executive summary:

  • Analyze the impact of a diverse workforce on patient outcomes.
    • In what ways or situations might multiculturalism and diversity impact health care delivery or patient outcomes?
    • How is diversity defined in the organization?
  • Analyze how the health care system integrates diversity and multiculturalism into its practices.
    • Is the makeup of the organization’s leadership representative of the patient and employee populations? Is this important? What would you change?
    • Explain how multiculturalism and diversity can impact health care delivery or patient outcomes.
  • Analyze current recruitment and retention policies to identify gaps between best practices and current policies.
  • Assess the level of integration and importance of multiculturalism and diversity in a health care organization.
    • Are all types of diversity recognized and included?
    • Provide support for your position by including 2 or 3 examples of the integration of multiculturalism and diversity into the organization.
  • Recommend evidence-based changes to the organizational structure and systems leadership that empower a diverse workforce.
    • organization’s diversity policies and practices.

       

      What changes would you champion as a health care leader to make the system more responsive to patients and the organization’s workforce?

Make your document easy to scan for readers by:

  • Using subheadings to organize content.
  • Using bullet points and phrases for main points, in addition to short, succinct paragraphs.
  • Including a visual, such as a graph, table, or chart.

Additional Requirements

  • Written communication: Written communication should be free of errors that distract from the overall message.
  • APA formatting: Resources and in-text citations should be formatted according to current APA style and formatting.
  • Font and font size: Times New Roman, 12 point, double-spaced.
  • Length: Summary report should be 3–5 pages.
  • Number of resources: Use a minimum of three peer-reviewed resources.
  • Attached is an example of a high graded paper to use as a reference.

CO3: Describe standards of practice for culturally competent nursing care. (PO6)

The basis for our lesson this week came from the Standards of Practice for Culturally Competent Nursing Care Executive Summary, Transcultural Nursing Society: https://www.tcns.org/standards (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.

Assume your nursing leader has decided that the department needs to better incorporate these Standards of Practice for Culturally Competent Nursing Care into the nursing care delivery model at your organization. There are 12 Standards.

  • Download and read the Executive Summary, and select one of the 12 standards as the basis for the discussion. Think about the standards as they relate to culturally sensitive care.
  • Explain how your department or organization currently gives credence to this standard.
  • If it does not, from your newfound knowledge, offer suggestions of how the standard can be incorporated into patient care in your department or organization.

Note: Make sure you choose a standard that another student has not selected. Keep in mind that each of us does not work in an acute care setting, so examples from other practice settings will add to a more robust discussion.
