Is telehealthcare a good option for nursing homes?

Research Topic

Is telehealthcare a good option for nursing homes?

Thesis Statement

The benefits of telehealthcare outweigh its shortcoming, and it is thus wise to adopt it in the delivery of care with advancement in technologies.

Use the outline and adding body paragraphs to the introduction and conclusion (Make it better).

A rough draft is not expected to be polished, and as such, this assignment will be graded on a completion basis. However, in order to receive full credit for the assignment, the following components must be met:

Rough draft includes an introduction, a minimum of four body paragraphs, and a conclusion.

Body paragraphs include transitional statements and topic paragraphs.

A minimum of eight references are incorporated as support into the essays.

References are cited using correct APA formatting in both in-text citations (https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/02/) and a references page (https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/05/).

Furthermore, keep in mind the following tips as you draft your essay:

Ensure that you remain without bias in your essay and you fairly present both sides of the argument on your issue.

Do not write in first or second person (avoid the use of pronouns such as I, me, mine, we, us, ours, you, yours, etc.)

Be sure to revise your introduction and conclusion paragraphs based on the feedback you received on your Week 4 assignment.

Use the outline you posted for Week 3 as a guide, but if you find that changing some pieces makes more sense as you draft, that is fine.

Remember to use appropriate formatting as per APA (6th ed.): https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/0

Think of a few examples or do some research into examples where the prefix or suffix of a root word changes the meaning from one term to another. Why is it critical for medical professionals to understand and use prefixes and suffixes carefully?

Part One:

Using the directional terms in the table from your textbook, describe how you, or someone close by you, is sitting or standing. Include at least 5 of the terms describing body positioning and movement. Then describe the opposite (for example, if you said your foot was plantar flexed, use dorsiflexed) for all of the terms you used, and make a guess whether you would be comfortable in that position.

Your response should be posted to the Discussion Area below. By the end of the week, begin commenting on at least 2 of your peers’ responses. Ask questions, further the discussion of the topic, reinforce a response, or add another dimension to the discussion. Always use constructive language.

A description of the vulnerable population and why they need assistance in your community.

In the first two written assignments , you selected one vulnerable population in need of a new program or service in your community.

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.

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.

As one learns about all of the wonders of modern technologies, how would you respond (positive or negative, and why) to Dr. Victoria Sweet who wrote: In trying to get control of healthcare costs by emphasizing “efficiency,” we’ve headed down a wrong path

NURSING APA with REFERENCES

Essay Assignment:

Answer all of the following questions using headers to separate topics.

As one learns about all of the wonders of modern technologies, how would you respond (positive or negative, and why) to Dr. Victoria Sweet who wrote: In trying to get control of healthcare costs by emphasizing “efficiency,” we’ve headed down a wrong path. Medicine works best—that is, arrives at the right diagnosis and the right treatment for the least cost—when the doctor has enough time to do a good job, and pays attention not only to the patient but to what’s around the patient. Dr. Sweet calls this approach Slow Medicine, and she believes that, put into wider practice, it would be not only more satisfying for patient and doctor, but also less expensive.

Consider the involvement of insurance companies, the big business of healthcare, and cost-cutting activities. Explain what you believe is meant by a cardiac patient who, upon meeting his surgeon for the first time prior to surgery, says to the surgeon, “Hello, sir. I’m Mr. John Smith, husband of Mary Smith and father of Jeanette Smith. I’m a carpenter who has built close to 80 new homes over the last 20 years with these two hands. I’m not the heart attack in Room 403.” and why.

It’s been said that true quality improvement is only possible when those involved in the process can be completely honest with one another. In the case of healthcare, when mistakes cause serious pain, suffering, and possibly death, how is true quality improvement possible? When leveraging 6 Sigma, is total honesty really necessary? Explain.

Everyone agrees that reading the Electronic Healthcare Records is much easier than the hand-written entries of old, but many complain that too many are focusing too much on the computer screen instead of on the human right in front of them. Is this just lack of skill or training? Is it poor computer system design? Is it just the nature of the transition from the old way to the new? Is patient care suffering because computers and all the displays, alerts, and alarms distract us?
