Describe the key elements of an information system for an MCO. What elements are different than for a physician office or group?
Assignment Description
Deliverable Length: 5-7 pages

Managed Care Organizations and Information Technology

The most important function of information technology (IT) for the managed care organization (MCO) is to support the business of the MCO. How the IT department aligns with the operational dynamics of the MCO is a vital management consideration. A well-functioning IT department will help the MCO reduce risk (e.g., costs). The IT department should design, implement, and operate the systems that run the MCO. Efficiency is the hallmark of a good system.

Your task as the manager of the MCO is to determine what the IT department in your organization should consist of, what its function will be, and what critical elements will be turned over to the IT department. Complete the following:

Describe the key elements of an information system for an MCO. What elements are different than for a physician office or group?
Describe the technology that you think the MCO would need to operate fully.
Propose a specific electronic health record (EHR) or electronic medical record (EMR) program that is Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) compliant. Describe the essential functions, costs, and projected savings for the MCO.
Evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of insourcing versus outsourcing your IT needs, and make a final recommendation based on that evaluation.

Write a paper discussing some of the basic scientific and technical concepts of nanotechnology.
Nanotechnology (also called nanotech) is a branch of materials science that deals with manipulating matter on the atomic scale.

It is so called because this field deals with engineering on the scale of a billionth of a meter, also known as a nanometer. Nanotechnology seeks to solve a wide range of problems from the construction of atomic scale machines to changing material properties at the atomic level.

Write a paper discussing some of the basic scientific and technical concepts of nanotechnology. Do the following in your paper:

Discuss current or future applications of nanotechnology in fields such as medicine, engineering, space exploration, fuel cell development, air and water purification, and agriculture.

Provide at least three examples of real-world applications in use or in development with reliable references.

Final Paper due April April 07, 2017

Ashford General Hospital Proposal

Ashford General Hospital is a 263-bed regional hospital located in California, serving its community for more than 50 years. The hospital maintains the only 24-hour emergency department in the area and an “extended hours” urgent care clinic. Similar to other hospitals in the United States, Ashford General Hospital is encountering a nursing shortage. Sixty-eight percent of the nursing staff is over the age of 45, facing retirement. The retention rate on nurses is 61%, compared to 65% nationwide. Many of the nursing staff find the work too physically demanding and have a feeling of emotional burn-out as well. In the past two years, the hospital has used both per diem nurses and traveling nurses who sign short-term contracts to fill individual shifts and accommodate short-term staffing needs arising from staff vacations or medical leaves. This has not only driven up personnel costs but also resulted in lower scores on patient satisfaction surveys. Ashford General Hospital faces significant challenges in nurse staffing ahead as it grapples with these issues, and the hospital board is very concerned. They know there must be some changes made in order to prevent a major financial and human resources crisis in the future. As the newly hired CEO, you are asked to present a proposal in the next board meeting.

For your Final Paper, you will create a 10 to 15 page proposal (excluding title and reference pages) for the Ashford General Hospital Board of Directors. In your proposal, you will:

Include an executive summary.

Jazi a 59 year old man was admitted to the intensive care unit of a large metropolitan hospital with a diagnosis of septicaemia. Jazi was admitted to hospital for further treatment of his leukaemia at which time his PICC line site became red and inflamed.

/in /by

Jazi a 59 year old man was admitted to the intensive care unit of a large metropolitan hospital with a diagnosis of septicaemia. Jazi was admitted to hospital for further treatment of his leukaemia at which time his PICC line site became red and inflamed.

Communication with Jazis doctor occurred after 48 hours of noted redness when pain and a temperature also presented. The PICC line was removed and peripheral access gained. Jazi continued to deteriorate and at the time of admission to ICU he was pale markedly short of breath and had a temp of 42. After the ICU physicians review he was immediately commenced on a regime of intravenous antibiotics. Jazis medical history included severe mitral valve stenosis and chronic myeloid leukaemia.
A few hours after Jazis admission to ICU the shift handover occurred for the afternoon shift. During handover the NUM informed the nursing staff present that she had received a phone call from the treating Oncologist advising the patient was not for resuscitation (NFR). The nurses continued with afternoon handover however they questioned why the patient had been transferred to ICU as he was NFR. Later in the shift the Oncologist called to see Jazi and indicated to him that the treatment plan was sorted and now the focus was to eliminate the source of infection that had occurred. The Oncologist questioned Jazi as to how long the PICC line had been red and sore and Jazi responded that it had been that way most of the time I have been in hospital however it did get a lot worse over the weekend. The Oncologist did not reply to Jazi. He continued to write up his clinical assessment report however did not document the NFR directive which he had phoned through earlier. This oversight was later dealt with by the nursing staff writing the initials NFR in pencil on the top of the nursing care plan.
The intensive care unit became busy throughout the shift and a nurse from another area of the hospital came to assist in the area. This nurse Pat discussed with Jazi his condition what had brought him to hospital and how his family were coping. Throughout the conversation Jazi identified that he really wanted to have further treatment but they wont give it to me. Jazi was referring to his cardiac valve replacement surgery for which he had been denied surgery recently. Pat questioned Jazi as to whether he had discussed his options with his Doctor. Jazi replied that he has many times but they wont do it because there is only a 50-50 chance of success. Pat questioned Jazi againSo you would still want the surgery? Jazi replied I sure would I need to buy some time. My wife is very ill at home she has cancer and is completing dependent on me. She doesnt have long to live and all I want to do is live long enough for her because she is afraid of being alone. Jazi continued with Its wonderful that the doctors and nurses are doing all they possibly can for me.
At this point Pat realised that it was highly likely that Jazi had no knowledge of the NFR order verbally established by the oncologist and recorded by the nurses in his file. Pat then went to discuss the matter with Sue the nurse that had been caring for Jazi. There she asked whether Jazi or his relatives had been involved in the decision making process pertaining to the NFR decision. To this question Sue initially stated that that is not right to worry the patient with the obvious decision he has leukaemia. We dont get involved in the decision it is up to the doctor and were obliged to obey their orders.
Pat then attempted to point out that Jazi was of the opinion that he was receiving all the treatment possible to minimise any further health risk to him. He was knowledgeable of his health conditions and was still questioning doctors in relation to cardiac surgery which had been previously denied. One of the other nurses stated doesnt that just show you that he is in denial to the extent of his medical conditions; he should never have been admitted to an ICU for treatment. Pat explained that she did not agree with this and wondered whether the medical staff were aware of Jazis treatment preference/s.

VULNERABLE POPULATIONS.

As nurses, we all know what we should do to maintain a healthy lifestyle, but often knowledge does not translate into actual behavior. Vulnerable populations may face additional individual and/or societal barriers to being healthy. What are those barriers? What can nurses do to overcome some of the barriers that you identified?
