Strategic plan and readiness of the health care organization or network in meeting care needs

Research a healthcare organization or network that spans several states within the United States (United Healthcare, Vanguard, Banner Health, etc.). Assess the readiness of the healthcare organization or network you chose in regard to meeting the healthcare needs of citizens in the next decade.

Prepare a 1,000-1,250 word paper that presents your assessment and proposes a strategic plan to ensure readiness. Include the following:
Describe the healthcare organization or network.
Describe the organization’s overall readiness based on your findings.
Prepare a strategic plan to address issues pertaining to network growth, nurse staffing, resource management, and patient satisfaction.
Identify any current or potential issues within the organizational culture and discuss how these issues may affect aspects of the strategic plan.
Propose a theory or model that could be used to support the implementation of the strategic plan for this organization. Explain why this theory or model is best.

Write a 2- to 3-page paper that explains your personal philosophy of nursing. It should examine and identify your own perspective (definition) of the metaparadigm of nursing, person, health, and environment, as well as identify other concepts you believe should be a part of our metaparadigm. Additionally, your paper must:

• Discuss how these concepts are interrelated in terms of how you understand and accomplish your work.
• Include one or more examples from your work that captures the essence of your philosophy.
• Explain what is important in your practice of nursing. Consider including your values, beliefs, and assumptions about nursing as a science and as an art. Answer this question from one of the following perspectives:
  • Pediatric nurses: What is your philosophy regarding the nursing care of children?
  • Hospice nurses: What is your philosophy regarding the care of people at the end of life?
  • Mental health nurses: What is your philosophy of mental health nursing?
• Include a global view of nursing. Examples include your experience in practice and your particular area of practice.
• This paper should be written in your own words but without any use of first person. It may be difficult to write about your personal philosophy, including personal examples, without using the first person. However, it will be good practice to write a scholarly paper in this manner. Consider using “The author believes…” or “One might expect…” instead.
• No citations are required; however, if the writings or statements of others have influenced your philosophy, these can be included and should be properly cited.
• The paper should be double spaced and formatted according to APA (American Psychological Association) standards.

Based on “Case Study: Fetal Abnormality” and the required topic study materials, write a 750-1,000-word reflection that answers the following questions:
What is the Christian view of the nature of human persons, and which theory of moral status is it compatible with? How is this related to intrinsic human value and dignity?
Which theory or theories are being used by Jessica, Marco, Maria, and Dr. Wilson to determine the moral status of the fetus? What from the case study specifically leads you to believe that they hold the theory you selected?
How does the theory determine or influence each of their recommendations for action?
What theory do you agree with? Why? How would that theory determine or influence the recommendation for action?

Program Evaluation Paper:

Drawing from the CDC Framework for Program Evaluation in Public Health, state the Need for and the Targets of a blame-free ‘culture of safety or ‘just culture’ organization-level program. Rather than searching for a ‘program on a culture of safety or just culture’, use a resource that explains one of these using key principles or dimensions or elements. Then, the clinical, population-based program you select can be linked to the desired culture. Please see the exemplar papers for more information.

You may find it helpful to use the CDC Logic Model (Step 2, Describe the Program, in the CDC Framework or Program Evaluation in Public Health) to describe the program. The logic model table must be completed and inserted in the text or treated as an Appendix.

 

CDC Logic Model

Inputs	Activities	Outputs	Short Term Effects/Outcomes	Intermediate Effects/Outcomes	Long Term Effects/Outcomes

 

 

• In a brief overview, describe an existing program that promotes a safe or just culture citing one reference that demonstrates the usefulness or effectiveness of the program.
• Describe the methods (logic model element) of completing the logic model
  • Provide two examples each of Inputs, Activities, and Outputs
  • Provide one Effect/Outcome for each type of outcome: short-term, intermediate, and long-term
• Provide descriptions for each element and associated examples in the narrative.
• Results and Recommendations
  • potential strengths and weaknesses of the program according to the logic model evaluation
  • implications for future specialty practice

 

DSM-5 gives an appendix of information about multicultural aspects of diagnosis. It is divided into two sections. The first section is an “outline for cultural formulation” that is intended to supplement the multiaxial diagnostic assessment and to address complexities that arise when applying DSM-5 criteria in a multicultural environment.

It systematically reviews peoples’ cultural backgrounds, the role of the cultural context in symptomatology, and also cultural differences between the patient and clinician. The second section is a glossary of “culture-bound syndromes.” For instance, hwa-Byung (also known as wool-Hwa-Byung) is a Korean folk syndrome attributed to the suppression of anger. Its symptoms include insomnia, fatigue, panic, fear of impending death, dysphoric effect, indigestion, anorexia, dyspnea, palpitations, generalized aches and pains, and a feeling of a mass in the upper middle region of the abdomen.

Explain how culture affects what is considered normal and abnormal, and describe one different culture-specific disorder using the attached reference list.
