What are the key roles for government in serving the public’s health? Why?Public health is an essential function of the government on a par with, and for reasons similar to, national defense and law enforcement.

Specific public health needs, such as sanitation systems and clean water, cannot be met by individuals acting alone. The government is required to organize community efforts as well as compel cooperation when necessary; otherwise, individuals would be free to benefit from, but not contribute to, the resulting public good.

Considering the above, respond to the following:

Determine how violating health regulations and laws regarding technology could impact the finances of the institution if these violations are not addressed
Overview:

Imagine you have been contracted to consult on the recent developments at the Featherfall Medical Center. Featherfall has been struggling of late; it has had a series of problems that have prompted your hiring. It has faced the following issues:

Featherfall has recently violated several government regulations regarding the current state of its technology and how it is being used. The technology system is vastly out of date, and staff are not always using the technology that is in place or they are using the technology inappropriately. These problems have lost the institution lots of money for not meeting government regulations and have caused operational and ethical problems from inefficient and ineffective use of technology.
The staff at Featherfall are not well-trained on the use of technology and do not communicate appropriately about technology use. The roles thatpertinent to your consult are the health information management team, the clinical staff (doctors, nurses, etc.), and administrative staff. The health information management team uses proper coding practices, and the current technology system serves them well, despite its age. However, other rolesin the hospital have had issues with the system. Clinical staff, for instance, have had record-keeping issues both due to lack of training on the system and the system itself being out of date. Administrative staff within the organization have taken issue with the lack of communication about the technology and its use between the various roles. When the current technology system was chosen many years ago, the needs of these various roles were not considered.
In this milestone, you will submit a discussion of the history of healthcare information management/informatics and the current landscape in terms of technology. This milestone will set the stage for your project.

In this milestone, you will submit an analysis of how the company in the case study is non compliant and the strategies (general, not specifics) to move it toward compliance.

Specifically the following critical elements must be addressed:

Health Regulations and Laws Ramifications: In this section of your final project, you will finish your preparation by reviewing and explaining the ramifications for the organization if it decides to wait on addressing its recent violations regarding technology use.

A). Determine how violating health regulations and laws regarding technology could impact the

finances of the institution if these violations are not addressed. Be sure to support your response with examples.

B). Determine how violating health regulations and laws regarding technology could impact the

daily operations of the institution if these violations are not addressed. Be sure to support

your response with examples.

724.8.9: Data Collection, Analysis, and Dissemination – The graduate describes the process of data collection, analysis and implementation of evidence that can improve clinical practice from an interprofessional perspective.

——————————————————————————–

Introduction:

There are many sources of information available on the web and in journals relating to the nursing discipline. Therefore, it is of pivotal importance to understand the basic tenets of critical appraisal of research for its use in intraprofessional healthcare practices. The aim of evidence-based practice (EBP) is to employ a three-pronged approach blending the best available research evidence, patient values and preferences, and clinical expertise.

In this task, you will critique two primary research evidence sources. You will select one quantitative and one qualitative peer-reviewed journal article on a healthcare topic of interest.

Requirements:

Your submission must be your original work. No more than a combined total of 30% of the submission and no more than a 10% match to any one individual source can be directly quoted or closely paraphrased from sources, even if cited correctly. Use the Turnitin Originality Report available in Taskstream as a guide for this measure of originality.

The rubric provides detailed criteria for evaluating your submission. You are expected to use the rubric to direct the creation of your submission. Each requirement below may be evaluated by more than one rubric aspect. The rubric aspect titles may contain hyperlinks to relevant portions of the course.

Note: Research evidence must not be more than ten years old.

A. Evaluate a primary quantitative research peer-reviewed journal article (suggested length of 3–5 pages) that has healthcare implications by doing the following:

1. Identify how the researcher addresses

Review the summary of To Err Is Human presented in the Plawecki and Amrhein article found in this weeks Learning Resources.

Review the summary of To Err Is Human presented in the Plawecki and Amrhein article found in this weeks Learning Resources.

The 1999 landmark study titled To Err Is Human: Building a Safer Health System highlighted the unacceptably high incidence of U.S. medical errors and put forth recommendations to improve patient safety. Since its publication, the recommendations in To Err Is Human have guided significant changes in nursing practice in the United States.

In this Discussion, you will review these recommendations and consider the role of health information technology in helping address concerns presented in the report.

To prepare:

Review the summary of To Err Is Human presented in the Plawecki and Amrhein article found in this weeks Learning Resources.
Consider the following statement:
The most significant barrier to improving patient safety identified in To Err Is Humanis a lack of awareness of the extent to which errors occur daily in all health care settings and organizations (Wakefield, 2008).
Review The Quality Chasm Series: Implications for Nursing focusing on Table 3: Simple Rules for the 21st Century Health Care System. Consider your current organization or one with which you are familiar. Reflect on one of the rules where the current rule is still in operation in the organization and consider another instance in which the organization has effectively transitioned to the new rule.

Week 1: Nursing Informatics and Patient Safety
In 2011, Mason General Hospital was named by Hospitals & Health Networks magazine as one of the Most Wired hospitals in the United States. What makes this particularly significant is that Mason General is a small, 25-bed, rural hospital in the state of Washington. It credits its success to nurse Eileen Branscome, director of clinical informatics. Under her leadership, the hospital adopted such innovations as visual smart boards where real-time patient information is always available. According to the magazine, those hospitals designated as Most Wired show better outcomes in patient satisfaction, risk-adjusted mortality rates, and other key quality measures through the use of information technology (IT) (Mason General Hospital and Family of Clinics, 2012).

Developments in information technology have enabled patients and health care providers to collaborate for quality improvement at an unprecedented level, and nurses have consistently been at the forefront of these efforts. This week you focus on the IOM report To Err Is Human and consider how health information technology has helped to address the issues of patient safety and quality health care.

In the early afternoon of Tuesday, January 31, 2012, The Associated Press released what would soon become
a major news story, writing: “The nation’s leading breast-cancer charity, Susan G. Komen for the Cure, is halting its
partnerships with Planned Parenthood affiliates creating a bitter rift, linked to the abortion debate, between two
iconic organizations that have assisted millions of women. The change will mean a cutoff of hundreds of thousands
of dollars in grants, mainly for breast exams.”1 The article cited “newly adopted criteria barring grants to
organizations that are under investigation by local, state or federal authorities” and referenced a congressional
investigation of Planned Parenthood as the key reason for the change. Planned Parenthood accused Susan G.
Komen for the Cure of “bowing to pressure from anti-abortion activists.” Planned Parenthood’s president, Cecile
Richards, told The Associated Press, “It’s hard to understand how an organization with whom we share a mission of
saving women’s lives could have bowed to this kind of bullying. It’s really hurtful.”2 Over the next four days the
controversy roiled the nation, drawing politicians, activists, the press and supporters of both organizations into a
painful battle that pitted one venerable women’s health organization against another.

Provide a summary of the symptoms necessary to diagnose a substance use disorder according to the DSM-5.

Case Information

Fran S. was arrested for prescription fraud when she tried to obtain prescription painkillers at a pharmacy with a fake prescription. You have been asked to assess her situation and make treatment recommendations to the court.

Fran S. is a 32-year-old employee at a local bank. She was briefly hospitalized after a car accident 14 months ago and sustained injuries to her neck and back. Her doctor prescribed painkillers for these injuries. He told her that she should only take the painkillers for a few months, but Fran found that she liked the feelings of calm and relaxation that the painkillers produced. Even though the pain from her neck and back went away, she kept telling her doctor that she was in pain so that he would continue prescribing the drugs. When her own doctor told her that he would no longer prescribe the painkillers for her, she found it difficult to go for more than a few days without the painkillers (she reported feeling anxious, irritable, and “not herself” when she stopped taking them) and found another doctor who would prescribe her painkillers.

Fran told herself that the painkillers helped her get through her day, but she started missing deadlines at work and repeatedly coming in late, putting her job in jeopardy. Her husband also reported a difference in her behavior, saying that she was detached, much more irritable and likely to start arguments over minor issues, which had not been a problem in the past. Fran started taking larger doses of the painkillers because she had stopped feeling their effects at the smaller doses. Her second doctor became suspicious of how frequently she needed prescriptions and refused to prescribe her any more drugs. Fran tried again to stop using the painkillers but found that she was experiencing problems, such as headaches, blurred vision, and anxiety, when she was not taking the painkillers. She could not find another doctor to prescribe her the painkillers, so Fran started submitting fake prescriptions to the pharmacy.

Assignment Instructions

The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition (DSM-5) lists the criteria for assessing whether a person has a substance use disorder, which it divides into three levels of severity: mild, moderate, or severe.
