Explain the positive and negative aspects of these forces that act against each other, in case of government healthcare programs such as Medicare and Medicaid.

/in /by

There are two major forces acting against each other when it comes to government healthcare programs such as Medicare and Medicaid. On one end, you have the forces pushing to privatize the programs and to relinquish the government’s role in providing healthcare. On the other end, you have the forces wanting to expand these types of programs.

Based on your understanding of the topic, answer the following questions:

  • Explain the positive and negative aspects of these forces that act against each other, in case of government healthcare programs such as Medicare and Medicaid.
  • How do these two forces play a part in the development of healthcare policy relative to government healthcare programs?

All government programs are subject to legislative actions and administrative implementation.

Based on the stages through which each item of public policy passes, answer the following questions:

  • How can a government healthcare program that was first envisioned be the same program when implemented?
  • Why do public policy and legislative action have such a significant impact on the implementation of government healthcare programs?

State health programs are typically funded in part by federal grants. The federal government pays a percentage of the costs and the states pay for the remaining balance.

Based on your understanding of the above statement, answer the following:

  • Discuss the power and discretion states have in making decisions for federally funded health programs.
  • Using the PPACA as an example, what role will states play in implementing the policy?
  • Describe the level of financial support expected from the federal government.

Prepare a report in a Microsoft word document, in response to these questions. Support your responses with examples.

. Discuss the financial pros ad cons of HMOs and include a clear discussion of how the HMO impacts quality of health care.

/in /by

Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs) and prospective payment systems vary widely in quality and costs and employ a variety of methods to control costs. Discuss the financial pros ad cons of HMOs and include a clear discussion of how the HMO impacts quality of health care. Prepare a table which compares and contrasts any TWO existing HMO plans. You may want to select HMO’s from different states to fully explore the differences. Finally, use the information you found to create a strategy for explaining the programs to a patient and their family.

Identify a patient care problem with an impact on budget as a financial management issue in your workplace.

/in /by

Project Description

Introduction of Project:

As a healthcare provider, you may or may not be responsible for financial and budget tasks, but you will encounter situations and issues, which will relate to financial management. Your project in this course is a threaded project and will provide you with an opportunity to better understand the literature on financial management in the healthcare setting. Each week you will work on an aspect of this project.

Week 1; Identify a problem

Identify a patient care problem with an impact on budget as a financial management issue in your workplace. Conduct a search for a minimum of two peer-reviewed articles that discuss the issue you have identified. Write a 2-3 page paper summarizing the literature you have found and describe how the literature helps to provide insight into the problem you have identified.  Provide a short analysis of the role of the nurse in relationship to this problem as described in the literature.

compare and contrast the differences between the role of nurse manager, nurse administrator, and nurse executive.

/in /by

The nurse administrator is an advanced practice role in nursing, and as such has very distinctive competencies. In addition to basic administrative skills, there are advanced administrative skills that can be acquired in this role:

  • Gathering information from current literature (your choice), and/or the American Organization of Nurse Executive Competencies, and/or the American Nurses Credentialing Center outline of competencies for nurse managers, compare and contrast the differences between the role of nurse manager, nurse administrator, and nurse executive. Please provide references to the sources that you choose to use.

Analyze the similarities and differences in implementation of the competencies within the selected roles.

/in /by

Each advanced care provider role has specific core competencies specific to the specialization. Following are links to websites describing core competencies that are relevant to the South University College of Nursing and Public Health advanced practice role specializations:

  • Indirect Care Provider Roles:
    • Nurse Administrator
    • Nurse Informaticist
    • Nurse Educator
  • Direct Care Provider Roles:
    • NP (Adult, Gerontology, or Family Health)

To prepare for this assignment, review all core competencies and then provide a response in a 3- to 5-page paper (excluding the title and reference page) your review of these competencies considering the following:

  • Compare and contrast the core competencies of a direct care provider advanced role and indirect care provider advanced role. For example, if you are a nurse informaticist or nurse administrator student, compare your role’s core competencies to the NP core competencies. If you are a NP student, compare your role’s core competencies to that of the nurse informaticist or the nurse administrator.
  • Analyze the similarities and differences in implementation of the competencies within the selected roles.

Assignment 2: Nursing Theory Analysis Paper due date Dec/14

 (Theory of Bureaucratic Caring by Dr. Marilyn Anne Ray)

Overview/Description:

The purpose of this assignment is to describe, evaluate and discuss application of a nursing grand or mid-range theory. This assignment also provides the learner an opportunity to connect theory and research to nursing phenomena. Learners will develop an 8-10 pagepaper (excluding the title page and references) using APA style to address the elements listed below. ( References peer review less than 5 years old)

Theory/Author Name and Background

  1. Select a Grand or Mid-Range Theory that is appropriate to your practice setting.
  2. Describe the theorist’s background in detail and discuss how their experiences have impacted the theory development.
  3. Examine crucial references for the original and/or current work of the theorist and other authors writing about the selected theory.
  4. Identify the phenomenon of concern or problems addressed by the theory.

Theory Description

  1. Explain whether the theory uses deductive, inductive or retroductive reasoning. Provide evidence to support your conclusion.
  2. Describe the major concepts of the theory. How are they defined? (theoretically and/or operationally) Is the author consistent in the use of the concepts and other terms in the theory?
  3. Interpret how the concepts are defined. Implicitly or explicitly?
  4. Examine the relationships (propositions) among the major concepts.

Evaluation

  1. Identify explicit and implicit assumptions (values/beliefs) underlying the theory. On what assumptions does the theory build?
  2. Examine if the theory has a description of the four concepts of the nursing metaparadigm. If so, how are they explained in the theory? If the metapardigm is not explained, what elements do you see as relevant to the theory and why?
  3. Discuss the clarity of the theory. Did it have lucidness and consistency?

Application

  1. Examine how the theory would guide nursing actions.
  2. Describe specifically how you can use this theory in your area of nursing (Practice, Education, Informatics or Administration).

APA Style/Format

Submit your document to the W5: Assignment 2 Dropbox by Tuesday, December 14, 2016.
