Be sure to support your work with specific citations from this week’s Learning Resources and additional scholarly sources as appropriate. Refer to the Pocket Guide to APA Style to ensure in-text citations and reference list are correct.

You will synthesize your understanding of why Medicare Part D passed, as well as the influence of the various interest groups and governmental entities during this process. Make sure to discuss both the policy process and the policy environment—that is, the key players involved and other circumstances that shaped this policy-making effort. For this assignment, address the following questions, doing further research as needed:

  • How did various stakeholder groups influence the final outcome of Medicare Part D legislation?
  • What were the specific strategies and tools that were used most effectively?
  • Does the fact that Medicare Part D passed corresponds with your understanding of policy and politics, or did this surprise you? Explain your response.

Explain how you would advocate for the incorporation of a global perspective or lens into your local practice and role as a nurse leader.

If you talk about a possible poor health outcome, do you believe that outcome will occur? Do you believe eye contact and personal contact should be avoided?

You would have a difficult time practicing as a nurse if you believed these to be true. But they are very real beliefs in some cultures. 

Differences in cultural beliefs, subcultures, religion, ethnic customs, dietary customs, language, and a host of other factors contribute to the complex environment that surrounds global healthcare issues. Failure to understand and account for these differences can create a gulf between practitioners and the public they serve.

In this Assignment, you will examine a global health issue and consider the approach to this issue by the United States and by one other country.

To Prepare:

  • Review the World Health Organization’s (WHO) global health agenda and select one global health issue to focus on for this Assignment.
  • Select at least one additional country to compare to the U.S. for this Assignment.

At some point in every construction project, efforts turn from design and the focus moves to actual construction. With the vision in place and the tools secured, the blueprint can be finalized and approved. Then it is time to put on hardhats and begin work.

Throughout the course you have developed aspects of your Academic and Professional Development Plan. You have thought a great deal about your vision and goals, your academic and professional network of support, research strategies and other tools you will need, the integrity of your work, and the value of consulting the work of others. With your portfolio in place, it is now time to finalize your blueprint for success.

Much as builders remain cognizant of the building standards as they plan and begin construction, nurses must remain mindful of the formal standards of practice that govern their specialties. A good understanding of these standards can help ensure that your success plan includes any steps necessary to excel within your chosen specialty.

In this Assignment you will continue developing your Academic Success and Professional Development Plan by developing the final component–a review of your specialty standards of practice. You will also submit your final version of the document, including Parts 1–5.

To Prepare:

  • Review the standards of practice related to your chosen specialty.
  • Download the Nursing Specialty Comparison Matrix.
  • Examine professional organizations related to the specialization you have chosen and identify at least one to focus on for this Assignment.
  • Reflect on the thoughts you shared in the Discussion forum regarding your choice of a specialty, any challenges you have encountered in making this choice, and any feedback you have received from colleagues in the Discussion.

 original question my answer:

Discussion Question

Develop a wellness program with a holistic approach for the older adult you identified, using resources available in your community. Discuss how this approach will prove an optimum level of well-being.

A Wellness Program for the Elderly

Target Population: The target population for this wellness program will be the elderly people like —– who suffer from arthritis and do not have the right health management resources at their disposal.

The unmet needs of the population: After having a conversation with —-, so many things surfaced. For example, he told me that the medical staffs do not give patients like him the needed medical care, meaning that there is a big gap in healthcare. He also extended a lot of gratitude to his caretaker saying that were it not for her, his condition would have been far much worse. While this was true, I also felt that — is not given the care that is required since he constantly complains of severe joint pains and has difficulties doing the daily tasks such as standing up on his own and bathing himself. He is just a representation of thousands of other elder patients like him who have absolutely no one to take care of them and are uninsured.

Holistic interventions to address the identified needs: The following are the strategies that will be included in the program. First and foremost, professionals will be hired to engage such elderly persons with exercises such as aerobics, range of motion exercises strengthening and enduring exercises (Mok, 2018). In the program, the patients will be taught on the best ways to manage their pain given that arthritis is a life-long condition that can only be managed using the right treatments and protocols (Roedl, Wilson & Fine, 2016). Furthermore, I would engage doctors in the program so that they can be able to get a first-hand glance of the problem on the ground.

Implementation of the program: The proposed program will be developed in phases. The first phase will be the trial phase and if all goes well, full implementation will follow. This initiative is targeted at helping both organizations and elderly patients into their journey towards living a life with arthritis.

professor question to my answer:

 What barriers might you expect that slow down complete implementation of the process?

In order to improve patient outcomes and ensure appropriate decision making, it is essential that evidence-based practice (EBP) be incorporated into patient clinical experiences (Polit & Beck, 2017). EBP should be a priority in this current day and age of healthcare. Patient healthcare decisions should be designed according to the most up to date available clinical evidence. This clinical evidence should be focused on safe and efficient patient care. In many facilities, my own included, EBP is encouraged to be incorporated into daily clinical practice. Unfortunately, the practical process and resources that are necessary for achieving EBP are frequently not available or successful (Aitken et al., 2011). In order to improve and increase EBP utilization in healthcare, nurse-led EBP programs have been put in place. My current institution is currently trialing a nurse-led EBP in the ICU. This program consists of 3 nurses that complete daily rounds in the ICU to evaluate the efficacy of specific protocols or products such as oral care on ventilated patients being completed every 2 hours. 

According to Cullen & Adams (2012), nurse-led research is increasingly recognized as an essential pathway to effective and practical was of improving patient outcomes. The dissemination of EBP should be a top priority. Effective dissemination strategies provide a pathway for knowledge to be shared and inspire further innovations. In order to disseminate EBP findings, my institution uses its website to post the most current and up to date clinical findings. The healthcare staff members are expected to review newly posted information on a weekly basis. When it comes to instituting an excellence-focused culture in healthcare, nursing research and EBP are required along with the integration of a professional practice model (Aitken et al., 2011). In order to achieve this great feat, nurses and all healthcare staff alike need to be encouraged to participate in scholarly activities (Aitken et al., 2011). Healthcare institutions should also have readily available resources for nurses and staff members to investigate the most current EBP methods.

Evidence based Practice is using information and practices obtained from prior research and preferences (Polit & Beck, 2017). When I think of evidenced based practice, I think of current practice utilizing certain practices and procedures because they have been tested and proven in the past. Evidenced based practice can be derived from literature, healthcare workers and patient experiences (Polit & Beck, 2017). There are many practices that we utilize around the hospital today that come from evidenced based practice. We use them so lightly daily and many times not understanding the meaning behind them and that others have tested them making it safe for us to use them. The one thing that came to mind was the use of off label drugs to treat various mental health issues. In Behavioral health it requires various combinations of drugs to gain the warranted effect (Narsa, 2018). When treating bipolar disorder and other mood instabilities there are the well-known medication like lithium, but evidence as presented itself showing that various seizure medicines can elicit the intended result (Narsa, 2018). In Psychiatry they utilize antiepileptic medications such as Depakote, Tegretol and Topamax to stabilize a patient with mood disorders (Demland, 2017). This is many times used in combination with the popular medications such as Lithium. Patients are many times very stunned to find out that they will be placed on such a medication. Many times, these medications will be introduced if the patient has a difficult time adjusting to the medication dosage changes or the intended effect is not seen (Demland, 2017). Many patients have testified to the benefit of these medicines. I think about how evidence-based practice comes in to play here because prior to this medication healthcare providers were only using antiepileptics for seizures only.

            Another medicine being used as an off-label drug is Lorazepam. Many in healthcare know this drug as an anxiolytic and never think about its other uses. In Behavioral health this drug is actually used for the opposite effect in patients who are catatonic. When one first thinks of prescribing a drug that is meant to calm a person down and many times sedate them to a patient that is not talking, moving or interacting is seems somewhat bizarre. How will this work? Will it make the patient even more disengaged and possibly sedated? These are all questions myself and many of my coworkers had. In this case, the physicians relied on evidenced based practice to assist them in making such a decision. They utilized such an unpopular treatment but it gained the intended effect. The catatonic patients respond well to this treatment. They can be seen becoming more engaged with peers and staff and taking part in their care.

There are many reimbursement methods that are utilized to reimburse physicians and facilities for the services and procedures that they provide to patients. A physician and the facility must keep track of the services and procedures that they are providing to the patients to bill out and receive the appropriate reimbursement. The chargemaster or charge description master (CDM) is the billing process that is used in all health care facilities, and it is updated yearly.

Focus your discussion on the following questions:

  • What are the consequences of not utilizing current codes and charges? Discuss how using last year’s CDM will affect the current year’s bottom line.
  • Will this create a positive or negative result for the health care facility? Explain your answer.
  • How can facilities ensure that the current CDM is used?
