Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas.

How healthcare services are provided is constantly changing.  While historically, emergency departments (ED) was physically located within the hospital building, the standalone Emergency Department also referred to as the Free Standing Emergency Department (FSED) has become a new model for delivery of emergency services within communities.   Consider yourself in the role of a consultant to a healthcare organization, financial manager, or ED administrative director. You have been asked to provide the CEO and leadership with pros and cons of establishing a Free Standing Emergency Department.  You are aware of the news stories about these types of facilities, and you will want to review The Washington Post article at this link as you prepare your review.

Include in your discussion:

  • Differences between off campus emergency departments (OCEDs) and independent free standing emergency centers (IFECs).  What would be the advantage to the healthcare organization of an OCED?
  • How would services provided be reimbursed either by private insurance or Medicare/Medicaid?
  • What are the advantages or disadvantages to the community of an FSED?  Would members of the community favor an OCED or an IFEC?
  • Why are most of the FSEDs located in Texas, Colorado and Ohio?
  • Based on your research and the news stories about FSEDs, what would you recommend to the CEO and Board of Directors?

NOTE: Use at least two scholarly references and cite using APA format.

                      My Goals and Walden University Vision and Mission

            In 2011 I graduated from Nursing School.  I knew I wanted work in the Emergency Department.  I had finished my practicum in an ED and was slotted to be hired once I passed my NCLEX.  As life would have it, I wouldn’t be able to take that job until year later.  In the meantime, I toughed it out as a floor nurse, and honed my skills.  I knew that floor nursing was not in my 10-year plan, so I made it a point to get all the experience I could to prepare myself for a career as a nurse. My journey since becoming an RN has been an amazing one.  I have completed Critical Care fellowships, worked beside some of the finest physicians, and now with all my experiences, I need to become a Nurse Practioner.  I am currently working in the Operating Room and have absolutely fallen in love with Orthopedics.  Becoming an Orthopedic Nurse Practioner will allow me to treat patients in clinic as well as assist the surgeon to increase mobility in those requiring surgery.

            I found Walden University during a school fair at my current hospital.  I spoke with a representative who, in my opinion, made the choice very easy.  I did research other online programs, but I always came back to Walden University.  The ability for me to attend a program and still be able to work full time was a must.  I felt like this University had my best interest in mind after reading the School of Nursing’s (SON) vision and mission statement.  The mission statement states “Walden University provides a diverse community of career professionals with the opportunity to transform themselves as scholar-practitioners so that they can effect positive social change.”  (Walden University, 2011a) I feel as though Walden University will assist me to be in control my transformation from Registered Nurse to Nurse Practioner.  

Incorporation of Social Change

            Everyday our society experiences change whether swift or gradual.  I want to promote positive social change by integrating Walden University’s views with my own.  “Positive social change results in the improvement of human and social conditions.” (Walden 2011b, para.1) I want to be part of that change, I want to be part of the improvement, I want to use my knowledge and experience to help improve the way we live together as human beings.  I feel like Walden University will provide me with the tools needed to make this vision a reality.

Subject: Drug and Substance abuse refuge 

Final Project

In the first two written assignments, you selected one vulnerable population in need of a new program or service in your community.  In this project, you will finalize the research that allows you to understand elements that go into designing and launching a community service.  The Final Project will be written using a persuasive tone, such that you would be able to present it in order to gain community and organizational support for your program.  The Final Project must demonstrate an understanding of the reading assignments, class discussions, as well as your research and application of new knowledge.  Your project must contain the following elements:

  • A description of the vulnerable population and why they need assistance in your community.
  • A description of the health service needs of the vulnerable population you have chosen to serve with your program.
  • In order to support the need for the service you propose, cite statistical data obtained from your county health department, state health department, and organizations or agencies who serve the vulnerable population.
  • A description of your proposed community service or program; include the specific service(s) provided and one continuum of care level (prevention, treatment, or long-term care). Explain how the selected service(s) and the continuum of care will impact the chosen population.
  • Discuss the social and cultural norms of your vulnerable population and how these play a role in the need for the services offered by your program. Describe how the vulnerable population experiences the health care system.  Analyze methods your program can use to overcome social and cultural differences.
  • Identify two or more community organizations or agencies with which you can partner in order to implement your program. Explain how these organizations can help you implement the services you offer and the continuum of care offered by the potential partnering agencies. Explain which services these organizations will provide to your clientele that are not covered by your program.  
  • Analyze at least four potential funding sources for your program, one of which must be from a state funded agency, one of which must be from a federally funded agency and the remaining two can be not-for-profit or for-profit business sources. Explain what factors must be met in order to receive funding from your sources.

Your final project will demonstrate quantitative literacy, which shows your ability to identify and solve problems.  Additionally, you must demonstrate integrative learning, which means you combine your earlier learning from this and other courses, analyze data from multiple perspectives, explore issues to their full extent as is required in the assignment, as well as incorporate your own personal and professional experiences.

Be detailed and convincing in describing the above elements.

Imagine that you are the administrator of a home health care agency. It is a startup venture, with fewer than 20 clients, and so you must decide whether to use a paper based system or should you implement an EHR system then conduct a cost-benefit analysis of implementing an electronic system versus using a paper based system.

You might want to consider whether providers will document using EHR’s in client’s homes or will they carry paper charts? Patient privacy and billing are also important considerations. Discuss the problems that may arise in the future as a result unwillingness to adopt the electronic health record as well as how changes to medical care can impact record keeping. Your cost benefit analysis will include a comparison representing both the choice to adopt the electronic health records as well as the choice to use paper records. Explain the pros and cons for each and its impact on its revenue stream.

Create a PowerPoint presentation.

·     Presentation is 10–12 slides in length.

·     Use of the speaker’s notes area contains detailed information, while the slides appear uncluttered.

The presentation should include at least one slide for each of the following requirements:

·     Include an overview of the project synopsis

·     The purpose of the analysis

·     Problem issue to be addressed including cost/benefits

·     What criteria will be used to select the best alternative?

·     Include a choice

·     Summarize key facts

·     State your recommendations

·     Include a cost benefit analysis in table format.
