Discussion: Financing of Health CareWith coinciding concerns about health care costs and the imperative to improve quality of care, health care providers and others face difficult decisions in the effort to achieve an appropriate balance. Such decisions often are addressed in the policy arena. How do policymakers evaluate which health care services should be financed through government programs? How do ethics-related questions and other considerations play into this evaluation process? Is it possible to contain costs and provide accessible, high-quality care to all, or is the tension between cost and care inherent in the U.S. health care delivery system? These questions are central to health care financing decisions in the United States.For this Discussion, you will focus on the policy decision-making process that determines what types of care are covered by public and private insurers and the ethical aspects of such financial decisions.To prepare:Read the case study “Economic Impact of States Declining Medicaid Expansion”  page 190 of the Milstead text( BOOK :HEALTH POLICY AND POLITIC ATTACHED BELLOW) .Review the information in the Washington Post article “Review of Prostate Cancer Drugs Provenge Renews Medical Cost-Benefit Debate” in the Learning Resources.

Discussion: Applying Measurement Tools

Discussion: Applying Measurement ToolsOne example of a measurement tool is the Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS) comprehensive care measures. Review the components of HEDIS comprehensive diabetes care; then consider the following scenario.You are a staff nurse working in a private primary care practice. It is a small practice with 2 MDs (internists), 2 nurses, 1 medical assistant, and an office staff for billing. There are approximately 1,000 patients in the practice. You have had no EHR until the last year, but all charts are manual, historically. Your physicians are starting to inquire about quality incentives, particularly regarding patients with diabetes.By Day 3Take on the role of the staff nurse in the scenario, and post an explanation of how you would go about finding out how many diabetics are in your practice and how many meet all components of HEDIS comprehensive diabetes care.Support your response with references from the professional nursing literature. Your posts need to be written at the capstone level (see checklist).Notes Initial Post: This should be 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.

Assignment: Asthma and Stepwise Management

Assignment: Asthma and Stepwise ManagementAsthma is a respiratory disorder that affects children and adults. Advanced practice nurses often provide treatment to patients with these disorders. Sometimes patients require immediate treatment, making it essential that you recognize and distinguish minor asthma symptoms from serious, life-threatening ones. Since symptoms and attacks are often induced by a trigger, advanced practice nurses must also help patients identify their triggers and recommend appropriate management options. Like many other disorders, there are various approaches to treating and managing care for asthmatic patients depending on individual patient factors.One method that supports the clinical decision making of drug therapy plans for asthmatic patients is the stepwise approach, which you explore in this Assignment.To PrepareReflect on drugs used to treat asthmatic patients,      including long-term control and quick relief treatment options for      patients. Think about the impact these drugs might have on patients,      including adults and children.Consider how you might apply the stepwise approach to      address the health needs of a patient in your practice.Reflect on how stepwise management assists health care      providers and patients in gaining and maintaining control of the disease.Create a 5- to 6-slide PowerPoint presentation that can be used in a staff development meeting on presenting different approaches for implementing the stepwise approach for asthma treatment. Be sure to address the following:Describe long-term control and quick relief treatment      options for the asthma patient from your practice as well as the impact      these drugs might have on your patient.Explain the stepwise approach to asthma treatment and      management for your patient.Explain how stepwise management assists health care      providers and patients in gaining and maintaining control of the disease.      Be specific.Book linkhttps://www.sendspace.com/file/llbyl3

Topic 1 DQ 2

Consider the following patient scenario:A mother comes in with 9-month-old girl. The infant is 68.5cm in length (25th percentile per CDC growth chart), weighs 6.75kg (5th percentile per CDC growth chart), and has a head circumference of 43cm (25th percentile per CDC growth chart).Describe the developmental markers a nurse should assess for a 9-month-old female infant. Discuss the recommendations you would give the mother. Explain why these recommendations are based on evidence-based practice.

4-1 Discussion: Physicians and Patients in Healthcare Marketing: Goals and Ethical Considerations

For this discussion, you will consider the relationship between physicians and health organizations and examine how this informs healthcare marketing. You will also consider the role of the patient and customer and the ways in which they shop—or don’t shop—for healthcare, and you will examine how a healthcare organization’s marketing goals can most effectively target these individuals. In addition, you will determine the ethical considerations that need to be addressed when developing a marketing strategy that includes patients and physicians among its target audience.To begin, review the module resources. Then, consider the difference between a patient and a customer and the role of physicians and patients in healthcare marketing. In your initial post, address the following:What are some of the ways that people shop—or don’t shop—for healthcare and medical care, and how can a healthcare organization’s marketing goals most effectively target these customers? Consider the SMART goal framework to support your response.How can the relationship between physicians and health organizations (think of the complex power structure in hospitals) pose challenges to decision making in healthcare marketing?What do you think are the most important ethical considerations that a healthcare organization must address when developing a marketing strategy for its patients and its physicians? Consider the methods for ethical decision-making you studied in Module Three.In responding to your classmates, do you agree or disagree with their conclusions? Why or why not? What considerations did they discuss that you perhaps had not thought of? What suggestions can you provide your peers to help them further develop their conclusions?rubric attached
