Immunoglobulin-Related Disease Assignment

Immunoglobulin-Related Disease (IgG4-RD) is an immune-mediated condition that can cause fibro-inflammatory lesions in nearly any organ (Wallace et al., 2019). It is a chronic, fibrotic inflammation characterized by the involvement of multiple organs. The most common manifestations of the disease include swelling of salivary and lacrimal glands, lymphadenopathy, and type 1 autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) (Xie et al., 2020).

Other organs, such as lung, bronchi, kidney, retroperitoneum, thyroid, heart, mesenterium, meninges, and skin, can also be involved and the cause remains unknown (Xie et al., 2020). Other organs, such as lung, bronchi, kidney, retroperitoneum, thyroid, heart, mesenterium, meninges, and skin, can also be involved (Xie et al., 2020). Patients may present with involvement isolated to a single organ or with multiple organs involved at the same time. In untreated patients, manifestations in different organs may accumulate over time in a pattern that is termed “metachronous” (Wallace et al., 2019).

The diagnosis of IgG4-RD requires a careful consideration of all available data, including the history, physical examination, laboratory results, imaging findings, and pathology (Wallace et al., 2019). The patient’s medical history can also be useful when it suggests previous complications (e.g., autoimmune pancreatitis, tubulointerstitial nephritis) likely related to what was unrecognized IgG4-RD at the time (Wallace et al., 2019). Cross-sectional imaging of the chest and the abdomen/pelvis can reveal asymptomatic disease in a distribution that supports a diagnosis of IgG4-RD (Wallace et al., 2019). In the case of suspected pancreato-hepatobiliary disease, magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) may be useful for diagnosing IgG4-RD and ruling out alternative etiologies (Wallace et al., 2019). Patients with significantly elevated serum IgG4 concentrations (e.g., > 3x the upper limit of normal) are more likely to have multi-organ disease and cross-sectional imaging may be higher yield in these patients (Wallace et al., 2019).Immunoglobulin-Related Disease Assignment

In the chest, the differential includes sarcoidosis, ANCA-associated vasculitis, Sjögren’s syndrome, lymphoma and primary/metastatic lung cancer, Erdheim-Chester Disease infections (including bacterial infections as well as atypical mycobacterial or fungal infections), and myofibroblastic tumor (Wallace et al., 2019). The most commonly used laboratory test to evaluate for IgG4-RD is the serum IgG4 concentration (Wallace et al., 2019). Other laboratory anomalies commonly observed in IgG4 are elevations of other IgG subclasses as well as elevations of IgEOther laboratory anomalies commonly observed in IgG4 are elevations of other IgG subclasses (Wallace et al., 2019).

Nearly all patients with IgG4-RD should be treated with immunosuppression to prevent accrual of additional organ involvement and damage in affected organs (Wallace et al., 2019). The goal of initial management is to achieve a complete remission (Wallace et al., 2019). Glucocorticoids have been the mainstay of treatment for IgG4-RD because of their efficacy as well as affordability and are typically used first-line with equivalent prednisone doses ranging from 20mg to 60mg/day depending on the severity of the presentation (Wallace et al., 2019). The general practice is to begin a slow taper of glucocorticoids after two to four weeks of therapy with the goal of discontinuation by three months, sometimes sooner (Wallace et al., 2019). During this period, the patient should be monitored for flares of disease which are common, especially at lower doses and following discontinuation (Wallace et al., 2019).

Introduction

The implementation and success of a strategic plan depends on the support of key stakeholders. This in turn depends on your ability to communicate clearly and persuasively with decision-makers and to sell your vision of the future. You must also be able to lead the initiative and sustain strategic direction. This assessment provides you with an opportunity to showcase your strategic thinking and exercise the communication skills necessary to move your strategic plan forward toward implementation.

Note: In this assessment, you will develop a presentation to stakeholders for the strategic plan you developed in Assessment 2.

Preparation

Your strategic plan has been reviewed, and you have been asked to present your plan—including operational recommendations and strategic control mechanisms—at a strategic visioning session with key stakeholders (senior leaders if your plan is organization-wide, community leaders if your plan is for a community health project, or the nurse manager of a specific department or team). This session is the next step in moving your plan toward implementation.

Your deliverable for this assessment is a slide deck of 15 slides to supplement your presentation and facilitate discussion of your plan. You may use Microsoft PowerPoint or any other suitable presentation software. Please use the notes section of each slide to develop your talking points and reference your sources, as appropriate.

Reflect on the current cultural climate in your care setting.

• What aspects of the current cultural climate would aid in achieving one or more specific goals contained in your strategic plan?
• What aspects of the current cultural climate would present a challenge in achieving one or more specific goals contained in your strategic plan?
• What leadership theories, models, or strategies could help you turn this challenge into an opportunity?

Effectively communicating with internal and external stakeholders and constituencies can help in achieving strategic initiatives.

• How would you communicate the essential aspects of the strategic plan you developed in Assessment 2 to stakeholders or groups, both internal and external to your care setting?

Presentation Design Tips

Being able to effectively address any audience is a necessary leadership skill. Remember that you are the speaker, not a projectionist. Your purpose is not to present a slide show. Your audience is there to listen to what you have to say, not read your slides—or worse, listen to you read them. Design your presentation slides to compliment and reinforce your message and engage your listeners.

The following tips will help you create presentation slides that work to your advantage:

• Focus on the content of your presentation and the development of your main points. Remember that your purpose is to garner support for your plan and build partnerships for implementation.
• Consider your intended audience and how best to communicate effectively with them.
• Create slides that support your presentation. They should not be your presentation. Homework Help Power Point Presentation

  ORDER   A PLAGIARISM FREE PAPER   NOW

• • Use a professional presentation template, or one used in your organization.
  • Ensure that your slide background provides sufficient visual contrast for your text and graphics.
  • Avoid filling your slides with text. Use speaker notes to record the details you want to communicate to your audience.
  • Be judicious in your use of bulleted lists. You might even consider a separate slide for each main point.
  • Use images and graphics, when appropriate, to illustrate information and make your points. Presentation slides are a visual medium. Images are more effective than text at engaging your audience.
  • Avoid using images that are simply decorative. They can be a visual distraction and do not contribute to your message.
  • Avoid using flashy slide transitions and animations. They can be both distracting and annoying. Keep your slide transitions consistent throughout the presentation.
  • Add a slide to the end of your presentation to prompt questions from the audience.

Requirements

Note: The requirements outlined below correspond to the grading criteria in the scoring guide, so, at a minimum be sure to address each point. In addition, you are encouraged to review the performance level descriptions for each criterion to see how your work will be assessed.

Presentation

• Summarize your plan for achieving 2-3 main goals. Include corresponding metrics, targets, and initiatives to help achieve the desired quality or safety improvements in the care setting.

• Progress toward achieving the Triple Aim.
• Better patient safety outcomes.
• Lower readmission rates.
• Higher volume of patients and care.
• Increased financial gain.
• Minimizing staff burnout.
• Improved relationship and trust with the community or a specific population.

In addition, remember to consult the literature, research studies, and resources from professional and governmental organizations when developing metrics, targets, and initiatives.
