The third component will begin in July 2017, which involves understanding our Electronic Medical Records (EMR) and hiring a trained professional who has extensive knowledge pertaining to MIPS. Therefore, the first activity in component three is to ensure our EMR, eClinical, is sufficient enough to handle the MIPS reporting data. For example, the EMR needs to be able to extract quality measures in order for our organization to report to CMS by the end of the 2017 fiscal year. In this activity, the practice manager will need to research and attend seminars to understand how to retrieve data from eClinical so she may report the quality measures for each of the eight physicians. She also needs to be knowledgeable on how to extract the data from…

It is important for healthcare organizations to understand that in order to have a successful program, specific activities need to be implemented to ensure the overall objectives will be achieved. In other words, the activities represent tasks the organizations will perform for the length of the program in order to reach their long-term goal. Therefore, within Gastroenterology Associates, the President and practice manager are teaming up in order to implement an educational program based on the Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS). This program contains several activities that are divided into four different components: the research component, the design and scheduling component, final touches component and the feedback component.…
The evaluation of the effectiveness of the plan of care was not done. The patient outcome was not satisfactory. IOM reports say “nurses should be full partners with physicians and other health professionals, in redesigning health care in the United States” (American Sentinel University, 2011, para. 1). Nurses should work as a leader. Nurses should collaborate with other health care team members and make a plan of care.…
Each level exists on a continuum from left-hemispheric brain function, which is organized, sequential, and linear, to right-hemispheric brain function, which is emotional and spiritual in nature. The Kinesthetic, Perceptual and Cognitive components are predominantly located in the left-brain and the Sensory, Affective, and Symbolic components are predominantly located in the right-brain. The highest level of the ETC is the Creative level which can actually manifest at any of the functional levels below it. The Creative level addresses the integrative function (Hinz, 2009).…

This paper discusses disseminating strategy of NKE to key stakeholders and larger nursing communities. Disseminating Strategy to Key Stakeholders The key stakeholders of this project are department staff, patient and families, department manager, leaders, seniors,…
Treatment Plan Rationale As avoidance is one of the major factors contributing to Sophie’s current struggle to cope with life, therapy should focus on addressing her alcohol use, procrastination and EA as well as cognitive fusions, including her SI. As she has had two years of CBT with seemingly no progression, there may be evidence to suggest that attempts to change the content of Sophie’s maladaptive thoughts and beliefs have not been successful in helping her make behavioural changes (Hann & Mccracken, 2014). Therefore it could be argued that ACT might be a more effective therapy as it promotes behaviour change regardless of content of thought (Ruiz, 2012). Further to this there is some evidence to suggest that ACT can be effective for…

Patients today have many different health needs and often require more than one health care team member of a different scope of practice. It is nearly impossible for one health care team member to address all problems associated with the patients’ health issues. The interprofessional education approach also known as IPE is considered to be a collaborative approach between team members. The team members had to show respect to each other’s practice and work together to achieve the best possible care for the patient. This IPE event offered a way for the health care team members to share their skills and knowledge with each other, the patient and the family members.…
In this case, there are four cultural components used to communicate and reinforce Mayo Clinic’s core value. According to the Hofstede’s onion model of organizational culture, there are four components of culture which are 'Symbols', 'Heroes' , 'Rituals' and 'Values'. For Symbols, Heroes and rituals are more observable, while Values is core and intangible. All three layers can be trained and learned through practices except for the inner cultural values, but the values could be strengthened if proper symbols, hero, and rituals occur.…
Complementary and Alternative medical (CAM) Biomedical Intervention, also called complementary and alternative medical (CAM) treatments, are commonly used by individuals with autism. Recent surveys reveal the prevalence of CAM use in children with autism to be between 30% and 95%. Although this variability is likely related to the substantial differences in survey design and the populations studied (Goin -Kochel et al., 2006 ; Green et al., 2006 ; Wong and Smith, 2006). Examples of CAM treatments include hyperbaric oxygen therapy (Rossignol et al., 2007) and omega-3 fatty acids to target an inflammatory process, methyl B12 (James et al., 2004) and GSH to target oxidative stress, and chelation…

The same anxiety is making it difficult for Frank to be able to actively look for a job. It seems that Frank is having some difficulties in transitioning from his job as a programmer to a new one.…

Guest Speaker Response #1 1) Christopher’s presentation was very enlightening for me because his topic is something I am passionate about. I believe that there are so many other ways to cure ourselves than traditional medicines. I love that integrated medicine is patient-centered care and focuses on lifestyle and health. He said almost all chronic diseases are affected by lifestyle and health; this made me want to start going to the gym and eating healthier. I knew some things about CAM but after this presentation, I felt as if I can persuade others to want optimal health and healing.…
