Assessment 2

Ethical and Policy Factors in Care Coordination (POWER POINT WITH SPEAKER NOTES)

INSTRUCTION- Select a community organization or group that you feel would be interested in learning about ethical and policy issues that affect the coordination of care. Then, develop and record a 10-12-slide, 20-minute presentation, with audio, intended for that audience. Create a detailed narrative script or speakers notes for your presentation, 4-5 pages in length.

INTRODUCTION– This assessment provides an opportunity for you to develop a presentation for a local community organization of your choice, which provides an overview of ethical standards and relevant policy issues that affect the coordination of care. Completing this assessment will strengthen your understanding of ethical issues and policies related to the coordination and continuum of care, and will empower you to be a stronger advocate and nursing professional.

PREPARATION– It would be an excellent choice to complete the Vila Health: Ethical Decision Making activity prior to developing the presentation. The activity provides a helpful update on the ethical principles that will help with success in this assessment.

Scenario

Your nurse manager at the community care center is well connected and frequently speaks to a variety of community organizations and groups. She has noticed the good work you are doing in your new care coordination role and respects your speaking and presentation skills. Consequently, she thought that an opportunity to speak publicly about contemporary issues in care coordination would be beneficial for your career and has suggested reaching out to a community organization or support group to gauge their interest in hearing from you, as a care center representative, on a topic of interest to both you and your prospective audience.

You have agreed that this is a good idea and have decided to research a community organization or support group that might be interested in learning about ethical and policy issues related to the coordination of care. Your manager has suggested the following community organizations and support groups, but acknowledges that the choice is yours.

· Homeless shelters.

· Local religious groups.

· Nursing homes.

· Local community organizations (Rotary Club or Kiwanis Club).

To prepare for this assessment, you may wish to:

· Research your selected community organization or support group.

· Review the 
Code of Ethics for Nurses With Interpretive Statements and associated health policy issues, specifically, the ACA.

· Review the assessment instructions and scoring guide to ensure you understand the work you will be asked to complete.

· Allocate sufficient time to rehearse your presentation before recording the final version for submission.

Presentation Format and Length

You may use PowerPoint (recommended) or other suitable presentation software to create your slides and add your voice over. If you elect to use an application other than PowerPoint, check with your faculty to avoid potential file compatibility issues.

Be sure that your slide deck includes the following slides:

· Title slide.

· Presentation title.

· Your name.

Your slide deck should consist of 10–12 slides, 
not including a title and references slide with typed speaker notes and audio voice over. Your presentation should not exceed 20 minutes.

Create a detailed narrative script for your presentation, approximately 4–5 pages in length.

Additional Requirements Before submitting your assessment, proofread your presentation slides and speaker notes to minimize errors that could distract readers and make it more difficult for them to focus on the substance of your presentation.

Preparation

The feedback you received on your care setting environmental analysis has been positive. Consequently, you have been asked to select one of the potential improvement projects you noted in your analysis and create a full, 5–10-year strategic plan to achieve the desired quality and safety improvement outcomes. You will develop your strategic plan, using either an AI approach (addressing the design stage), or by building on your SWOT analysis and applying a strategic planning model of your choice.

How you structure your plan should be based on whether you are taking an appreciative inquiry approach or using a specific strategic planning model. Regardless of the approach you choose, the requester of the plan has asked that you address the key points outlined below in the strategic plan requirements. In addition, your plan should be 6–8 pages in length.

As you prepare to complete this assessment, you may want to think about other related issues to deepen your understanding or broaden your viewpoint. You are encouraged to consider the questions below and discuss them with a fellow learner, a work associate, an interested friend, or a member of your professional community. Note that these questions are for your own development and exploration and do not need to be completed or submitted as part of your assessment.

Strategic planning models aid in setting goals, establishing time frames, and forging a path toward achieving those goals. Consider the strategic planning models you are familiar with:

• Which model would you choose to create goals and outcomes that could address the area of concern you identified in your Assessment 1 SWOT analysis?
• Why is this model the best choice among alternatives?
• How does goal setting through appreciative inquiry provocative propositions differ from goal setting in the strategic planning model you selected?

 Strategic Plan

• Develop strategic goal statements and outcomes that reflect specific quality and safety improvements for your care setting. You should have at least one short-term goal (just-in-time to one year) and one long-term goal (five years or longer).
  • Determine realistic timelines for achieving your goals.
  • Explain how your short-term goals support your long-term goals.

Note: For plans based on an AI approach, the goal statements and outcomes are provocative propositions that may be refinements of the positive, yet attainable, goals that you proposed during the dream phase of your inquiry. For plans based on a SWOT analysis, the goal statements and outcomes are specific, measurable, and applicable to the area of concern in your analysis for which you proposed pursuing improvements.

• Justify the relevance of your proposed strategic goals and outcomes in relation to the mission, vision, and values of your care setting.
• Analyze the extent to which your strategic goals and outcomes, and your approach to achieving them, address:
  • The ethical environment.
  • The cultural environment.
  • The use of technology.
  • Applicable health care policies, laws, and regulations.
• Explain, in general, how you will use relevant leadership and health care theories to help achieve your proposed strategic goals and outcomes.
  • Consider whether different theories are more applicable to the short-term or long-term goals of your strategic plan.
• Evaluate the leadership qualities and skills that are most important to successfully implementing your proposed plan and sustaining strategic direction.
  • Identify those leadership qualities and skills that are essential to achieving your goals and outcomes and sustaining strategic direction.
  • Identify those leadership qualities and skills that will have the greatest effect on the success of your plan.
