Week 1: Practice Problem in Two Distinct Statements
11 unread reply.4646 replies.
You will be learning about your DNP project and perfecting the ideas you have about this as you go along in the program — ideas will be added and you’ll frame your project question in the PICOt format (more on that later). For now, begin thinking about an organization that may need a practice change or a quality improvement effort. You will build your project idea from that base of awareness and information.
To begin, recognize that you have been gathering assessment data for many years as a nurse. You are observing, listening, analyzing, discussing situations in health care related to quality, leadership, safety, cost and access. You have listened to patients and families, you have read about issues that concern you, you have listened to subordinates and superiors and you know inside your own mind, that there are possibilities that haven’t been tapped yet to improve the health care system and delivery of care.
In this post please describe an idea you have (problem that you have noticed) about an organizational need for practice change to improve health outcomes, cost or access; or an organizational need for quality improvement.
What have you seen that could be addressed by a clinical leader? Don’t worry about having a refined idea yet — just say what you see as a problem, and suggest a set of ideas you may have for solving it.
An example might be that you have witnessed bullying in the work place and you’d like to intervene by providing nurses with tools to interfere with bullying when it happens and an “on the floor” coaching program to facilitate the nurses’ implementation of their anti-bullying tools.
Another example may be that clinic nurses are not addressing smoking with stop smoking interventions and you’d like to intervene by teaching the nurses ways to address smoking and encourage them to commit to addressing every smoking patient with a smoking cessation intervention. You also want to assure that this change takes place after intervention so you will audit the charts and give feedback to the nurses on their progress.
What ideas to solve practice problems do you have? Review the lesson for this week and remember to state the problem in two distinct statements: (a) the problem and (b) the etiology. Finish your post by thinking about and then writing, what kinds of interventions would work to resolve the causes of the problem.

Week 2: Nursing’s Ways of Knowing
No unread replies.4747 replies.From the perspective of your practice change interest (clinical outcomes, safety and quality, leadership or health policy) consider the specific ways of knowing as they have played into your awareness of the need for practice change?
Further, consider how intuitive/personal or ‘unknowing’ knowing dimensions of practice integrate with broader social, cultural and theoretical dimension to create meaning and inform ideas for practice change.
Give two specific examples from your practice. For example, let’s say that your practice change interest is in the way treatment decisions are made in end-of-life care for elderly patients. Which ‘Ways of Knowing’ have played primarily in to your observations and insights about this problem?
Examples of integration with broader social and cultural dimensions in this scenario of treatment decisions in end-of-life care: how does your intuitive/personal knowing integrate with what patients and families say about their experiences? What do you know about the cost of care, access to care or quality of care relative to the issue?

In preparation for this discussion, first prepare interview notes with the following questions:
1. I’d like to validate a problem statement and begin to formulate a PICOT question with the needs of your organization in mind.
2. A problem I’d like to work to improve is _________ and some of the causes of this problem seem to be _______________. Would you agree? Are you asking questions within the organization about this problem? Do you have additional insights to the specific problem statement and the etiology I’ve come up with?
3. What Outcomes would you hope result from addressing this problem?
Next make a phone interview (5-10 minute) appointment with a nursing or other leader in your chosen organization. The purpose of your interview will be to validate with the interviewee (from their point of view), whether your initial problem statement agrees with their needs.
With this interview information validating or changing your problem statement, you can move forward.Keeping the main ideas from the problem statement you drafted in Week 1 wherein you identified the problem and the etiology; now state the problem in the PICOT format.
WhatPopulation you will be working with to improve outcomes?
Whatintervention possibilities are there (these would be aimed at the etiology portion of your statement)?
To what existing practice in health care are youcomparing the outcome of your intervention?
Whatoutcome do you expect to see as a result of your intervention?

Week 6: Evidence Supporting the Clinical Question and Suggested Interventions
1313 unread replies.3232 replies.
Consider your inquiry and formulation of the clinical question thus far.
Explicate at least two pieces of evidence (current literature less than 5 years old) that support the idea that the problem you’re naming exists and is significant. For example, here is a 2013 American Heart Association article on predicting and preventing early readmission: http://circ.ahajournals.org/content/126/4/501.full
Be sure to also note what the evidence says about the etiology or causative factors (what’s going on that influences this problem)? For example, in the article above, early readmission rates are influenced (caused by) situations such as psycho social and economic factors that limit adherence as well as physiologic factors such as elevated filling pressures.
Finally, point to the evidence that suggests an intervention that works to address the causes of the problem and to improve what we’re now seeing in clinical practice on this topic. The AHA article named above suggests that interventions such as comprehensive discharge planning, including patient and caregiver education, guidance regarding sodium and fluid restriction, collaboration with visiting nurses, and planned follow-up, may reduce early readmission rates by as much as 25%.
In other words, for your problem, grounded in the literature, what is the problem/etiology and what two pieces of current literature provides evidence supporting those? Then what evidence supports the intervention idea to improve this problem situation?

Owning the Market” Please respond to the following:
Identify a company in your local or generalized area that you would classify as a monopoly. Explain the key reasons why you classified the company as a monopoly, and state how the company operates relative to at least two (2) characteristics of that particular market
Respond to Julia
A monopoly is broadly defined as a company that owns almost all of the market for a specific product or service. Monopolies hardly have competition, which is why usually high prices can be placed on such items produced by them since they are considered inferior products. Many utility companies are classified as monopolist. A company that posseses these characteristics is First Energy Corporation; which is a company that distributes electricity to many homes and businesses. I classified First Energy as a monopoly since it is a leading energy supplier throughout Northeast, Midwest and Mid-Atlantic regions. The key characteristic that makes this company a monopoly is that they have over 6 million customers within a 65,000 square-mile area. Also, although First Energy Corp is headquartered in Akron, Ohio, they own 10 electric utility companies including Med-Ed which is a major electric distributor in Pennslyvania

Most states have turned to the lottery to raise money for education and other state financing needs. Determine the largest payout for the state in which you reside. Explain the options for receiving the money and select the method you would choose. Provide a reason for your decision using the principle of the time value of money.
Respond to Stacy
The largest payout in my state was $208.6 million. I would take the 30 year annual payment with the first being $25,000 and it increases each year until the 30th year where it is $79,000. I choose this decision because you never know what the future holds not only inflation wise, but investment wise too. I would rather be able to control my money now than lose it all because of a bad decision, and have the funds available to my family if something were to happen to me. I also like the sense of security it provides knowing that I will have something each year and still work without it changing me

Part One CorrelationRead Lecture Ten. Lecture Ten introduces the idea
/in Uncategorized /by JosephPart One CorrelationRead Lecture Ten. Lecture Ten introduces the idea that different variables may move togethersometimes due to causation and at other times due to an unknown influence. An example involves the perfect (+1.0) correlation between annual number of rum barrels imported into the New England region of the U.S. between the years 1790 and 1820 and the number of churches built each of those years (citation lost). Discuss this correlation: What does it tell us? Does rum drinking cause church building? Does church building cause rum drinking? Or what else could it tell us? If this correlation shows a cause and effect relationship what drives what? If not why does it exist? What could this correlation be used for? (This should be started on Day 1.)Part Two Linear RegressionRead Lecture Eleven. Lecture Eleven provides information showing a strong positive correlation and a significant linear regression existed between the individuals salary and midpoint (used as a substitute for grade). This is not an unexpected outcome in a company. How useful are these in understanding what drives salary differences? Why? What examples of a linear regression might be useful in your personal or professional lives? Why? (This should be started on Day 3.)Part Three Multiple RegressionRead Lecture Twelve. In Lecture Twelve a multiple-regression equation was developed that showed the factors that influenced a persons salary andalmost as importantfactors that did not influence salary. How do we interpret a multiple-regression equation? Pick one of the factorswhether statistically significant or notused in the analysis and describe its impact on salary what the coefficient is and what it means what its significance is and whether you expected this outcome or not. (This should be completed by Day 5.)Your responses should be separated in the initial post addressing each part individually similar to what you see here.

What is a narrativeBasically a patient narrative is the retelling of a story of events that have lead them to where they are now. While a story is just a sequence of events, a narrative recounts those events, whilst emphasising some aspects of the account and leaving out others is they are irrelevant or unimportant.

Basically a patient narrative is the retelling of a story of events that have lead them to where they are now. While a story is just a sequence of events, a narrative recounts those events, whilst emphasising some aspects of the account and leaving out others is they are irrelevant or unimportant.
Order Description
The assessment method will involve the student in interviewing a patient / client / carer with consent and then writing a patient narrative that explores the patient journey.
1. ASSESSMENT OF THE MODULE
Theoretical Assessment: 3,000 word assignment. This assignment consists of two elements:
I. Gaining permission and obtaining a patient narrative whilst on a twelve week host trust placement.
II. Constructing and annotating the narrative using psychological and sociological theories.
Both elements are important. In order to write an assignment there is requisite to have acquired a patient story and can demonstrate an understanding of how health and illness has impacted on their lives.
Summative Assessment:

Visit: https://www.eng.niu.edu/wac/narr_how.html for more information on what a narrative is.
2. Why is patient / client narratives important
Patient /client narratives are important because it introduces the patient’s perspective into our understanding illness. It allows us to adopt a more patient / client approach to the delivery of health care. Conversely it helps us in the recognition that other individuals have perspectives and values which differ from our own. Example: A family’s story of their thoughts, feelings and fears bound up in their 10 year old daughter having type 1 diabetes may elicit an understanding that it is not just about the condition. It is how it represents an entire way of living in which their lives are consumed by choices, risks and restrictions that diabetes has imposed upon the family.

What are the outcomes or goals?
/in Uncategorized /by JosephPolicy Analysis Paper. This is your major term paper, and an in-depth analysis of a current social policy based on the social policy analysis model described in the text. The analysis will address the people affected by the issue under consideration in terms of age, race, sex, income, and residency. The history of the issue will be presented as well as previous attempts to address the issue. The basis of eligibility, nature of the benefits, goals, administrative structure and financing will also be explored in the analysis. Your discussion will also include ethical dilemmas and diversity issues involved with the selected social policy, and the use of the NASW Code of Ethics in guiding ethical decision making. The Saint Leo core value of responsible stewardship is to be demonstrated in the policy analysis. This paper must be between 7-10 pages, typed, double-spaced, use Times Roman font 12 pt, have no additional spaces between paragraphs, and ensure that the first sentence of each paragraph is indented.

The references must include at least 5 peer reviewed journal articles or text references which must be cited correctly according to the APA format 6th edition. Paper must follow the American Psychological Association (APA) format
Policy Analysis Paper Format
You may want to develop headings for each of the sections of your policy analysis in
order to maintain structure and organization and to ensure that you have covered each
of the points of the analysis. For example:
1.) Description of the problem that necessitated the policy
What is the nature of the problem?
How widespread is it?
What are the causes of it?
Who is affected by it & how? The analysis will address the people affected by
the issue under consideration in terms of age, diversity issues, gender,
income, and residency.
2.) History of the policy
What attempts were made in the past to address the problem? Were they
successful? If not, why?
3.) Policy Description
How does it work?
What does it provide? Vouchers? Monies? Benefits?
Who is covered by it? Eligibility Criteria?
How is it implemented?
What are the outcomes or goals? Are they just & democratic?
Are they consistent with the values of the social work profession?
Do they contribute to the greater good? Are there any ethical issues
Involved in the process or the implementation?
How is it funded?
How is it administered?
Who oversees it?
Is it effective?
How long will it be in existence?
4.) Feasibility
Political feasibility:
Does the public believe it can happen?
ie: a national system of health care
Who will support or oppose the policy?
Economic feasibility:
How is it funded?
ie: “pay-go” funding (reallocation)
Administrative feasibility:
Effectiveness – will (or does) the policy do what it’s supposed to?
Efficiency – cost-effectiveness
5.) Remember to incorporate the Saint Leo core value of responsible stewardship
throughout your analysis!
