The purpose of this assignment is for you to practice reviewing and analyzing articles that contribute to the healthcare industry. Reviewing healthcare literature and trends provides you with the opportunity to read about what was successful in the industry and how it was accomplished. It also allows you to analyze what was unsuccessful, how you can improve it, or at least how you can avoid repeating the mistakes of others.

In order to foster positive organizational culture, mission, and philosophy, it is important for the healthcare professional learn to respect and embrace cultural differences rather than being afraid of them. For this assignment, you will utilize the CSU Online Library to locate and choose a peer-reviewed article about organizational cultural competence and cultural differences that you may encounter in the workplace. You will then analyze the role that cultural competency plays in effective healthcare administration based on the article.

The CSU Online Library contains a great selection of databases for conducting research. The Academic Search Complete database is a good place to begin your search.

The article you choose must meet the following requirements:

  • be peer reviewed,
  • be at least five pages in length,
  • be less than 10 years old, and
  • relate to the concepts of cultural competence and organizational values.

As you read the article you choose for this assignment, consider the questions below.

  • What is cultural competence? Why is it important for healthcare professionals?
  • How do communication skills support organizational culture, mission, and philosophy and improve cultural competence?
  • How can the points presented in the article help the healthcare industry improve how its professionals relate to one another as well as the patients they serve?

Your critique must meet the requirements below.

  • Your critique must be at least three pages in length, not including the title and reference pages.
  • Identify the main topic or question and the author’s intended audience.
  • Comment on the article by sharing your opinions on what appears to be valid and invalid.
  • Discuss if you agree with the author’s assertions, and share why you do or why you do not agree.  
  • All sources used, including the textbook, must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying citations. All references and citations used must be in APA style.

Explain cultural differences that healthcare workers should be aware of in their interactions with patients and colleagues.

Picture yourself as a healthcare supervisor for a local hospital. Recently, there has been an increase in new hires along with a need to provide them with a primer in confidentiality and cultural diversity training. Your supervisor just announced that you will be leading these training sessions, and he or she asked you to prepare a presentation on the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), patient confidentiality, and diversity in the workplace.

Your presentation should consist of the following content:

  • Slide 1: Include a title slide. Include the title of the assignment, your name, and the name of the university.
  • Slide 2: Explain confidentiality.
  • Slide 3: Explain HIPAA.
  • Slides 4–5: Identify ways to protect patient confidentiality verbally, in written form, and in digital form.
  • Slide 6: Identify areas of concern regarding patient confidentiality and legal repercussions for not following legal and ethical standards for patient care records.
  • Slides 7–8: Create a scenario concerning patient confidentiality, and provide a solution to the confidentiality dilemma. See the example scenario and solution below.
    • Scenario example: Susan is a therapist in the emergency room (ER) of a city hospital, and she has just heard that a fellow employee is pregnant. The other staff members would like to give the employee a baby shower, but nobody knows when the baby is due or if the baby is a boy or a girl. Susan has access to the records and could easily find the answers to both questions. Should Susan try to get information about the pregnancy and share it with the staff?
    • Solution example: Susan should absolutely not access her coworker’s medical records. This is clearly an unauthorized use of medical information. Remember that any time patient information is used for purposes other than treatment, payment, or operations, it must be authorized by the patient.
  • Slides 9–10: Explain cultural differences that healthcare workers should be aware of in their interactions with patients and colleagues.
  • Slide 11: List resources for employees who may want further information regarding HIPAA and cultural diversity.
  • Slide 12: Include a reference slide.

Your presentation should have at least 10 content slides; the title slide and reference slide are not included in the minimum slide requirement. The citations and references should follow APA format.

Identify and explain infection control measures.

Create a brochure, pamphlet, or newsletter (it can be created in Word or a similar software) for all of the members of the healthcare team in your unit regarding how to maintain a healthy and safe environment.

The project should include the criteria listed below.

  • List each department that interprets and implements the regulations set forth by regulatory agencies, and include a description of each.
  • Identify a set of emergency codes for the healthcare unit. Describe the policies and procedures of each type of code (e.g., cardiac arrest, fire, weather)
  • Discuss different types of isolation.
  • Identify and explain infection control measures.

Use information from your textbook as well as outside sources, and include at least one source from the CSU Online Library. Try using keyword pairs with quotation marks when searching within the CSU Online Library databases. For example, “hospital regulation” or “infection control” will return better results than a search without the quotes.

Your brochure, pamphlet, or newsletter should be at least two pages in length (front and back in the case of a brochure or pamphlet). Be as creative as possible by using different colors, fonts, or even graphics. Please be sure to properly cite and reference all direct quotes and paraphrased sources, including your textbook, to avoid plagiarism.

Post your brief description and pictures of the site you visited. Share the answers you were given to the questions you posed. Then, respond to the above prompts through the eyes of a PHN asked to investigate an outbreak at this facility.

Preventing Disease in Communities: The Role of Public Health, the Silent Sentinel

Our “world” starts with our own community, county, and state, then moves out in concentric rings from that point to include our country and eventually the world. Disease is transmitted from person to person through direct contact, or from a source such as a vector or contaminated water through a variety of means, such as flood waters or even terrorist actions. Individuals with limited or no knowledge of safe sex methods may have unprotected sexual relations and knowingly or unknowingly transmit disease to their partners, then to their partners’ partners, and on and on. Often it is the role of the public health nurse to investigate a disease outbreak, contain it, and then educate others so that the same situation doesn’t happen again.

In this Discussion, you will visit a site and interview people who work there about risks for disease transmission, then report on your findings.

To prepare, select which site you will visit from the following options:

  • High school nurse’s office
  • Water treatment plant
  • Public health department
  • Pediatrician’s office

Create a brief description of your setting, providing some context; for example, how many patients are seen, size or capacity of the facility as applicable, and/or the location of the office or organization.

Take pictures of the building and surrounding area/neighborhood to provide context. You do not have to include the interior/s of the building/s or people/clients who may be there.

Then, during your site visit, pose the questions listed in the following chart:

High school nurse

  • What is the school’s policy on giving students advice about birth control?
  • How often do you get requests for information about birth control or how to protect oneself from an STD?
  • How do you track vaccination compliance, and what happens to students who fall out of compliance?

Local water treatment plant

  • Where does your community’s water come from?
  • Where is it stored?
  • How often is it tested for purity?
  • What safeguards are in place to prevent tampering with the water supply?

Local public health department

  • Does this department have an STD clinic?
  • In addition to testing, does the department offer treatment of one party or both parties?
  • What is the most frequently diagnosed STD?

A pediatrician’s office

  • What is your policy on accepting patients who refuse vaccinations?
  • What are the most common reasons parents decline vaccinations for their children in this particular office?
  • What is the policy at this office for giving antibiotics to treat viral syndromes?

Now, look at the site you visited through the eyes of the public health nurse (PHN). Imagine you are the PHN and have been asked to investigate an outbreak at this facility.

  • What questions would you ask?
  • What suggestions could you make to avoid a disease outbreak at the facility?
  • What would your role as a change agent be for any deficiencies you find in your on-site inspection?

By Day 3

Post your brief description and pictures of the site you visited. Share the answers you were given to the questions you posed. Then, respond to the above prompts through the eyes of a PHN asked to investigate an outbreak at this facility.

Support your response with references from the professional nursing literature.

Note Initial Post: A 3-paragraph (at least 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).

Preparing the paper

The following are best practices for preparing this paper:

  1. Review Chapter 30- Role Transition: Strategies      for Success in the Marketplace in

DeNisco and Barker (2015).

  1. Nurse practitioners need to take into account      the state rules and regulations that guide advanced practice. Research and      review the Nurse Practice Act and APN scope of practice guidelines in your      particular state. Identify information regarding educational requirements,      licensure and regulatory requirements, as well as practice environment      details. Review information regarding full, limited, or restricted      practice limitations as well as prescriptive authority (This is similar to      what you created in your week 1 Kaltura presentation). .
  2. Review Guidelines for APN Role Transition Using Benner’s Self-Assessment      Tool (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site..      Identify and discuss your position on Benner’s Novice to Expert      ladder. Prior to engaging in pursuit for employment, APNs should complete      a comprehensive, honest, personal assessment to identify their strengths      and weaknesses as well as their goals and objectives. Research assessment      tools, conduct a personal assessment and reflect upon your strengths,      weaknesses, goals, and objectives.
  3. To complete the transition from students to      expert nurse practitioners working in the healthcare field, graduating APN      students will need to secure their first position. Research local and      national professional organizations that advertise employment      opportunities for APNs. Identify networking and marketing strategies and      provide a rationale for your selections. Be specific.
  4. Write your Curriculum Vitae (CV) or current      resume. Refer to the template on pages 772-773 in DeNisco and Barker      (2015). Your CV / resume should not exceed 2 pages in length but will,      vary for each student. If you have not done some of the components of the      CV/resume, i.e. research, publications, presentations, then do not include      them.
  5. When concluding the paper, summarize important      aspects of the APN professional development plan.
