You will analyze the issue and examine potential evidence-based and best-practice solutions from the literature as well as the role of nurses and other stakeholders in addressing the issue. 

Patient Identification Errors in Healthcare: Ensuring the correct identification of patients is a foundational aspect of safe healthcare delivery.

The Role of Competition in Healthcare

/in /by

 

Competition is prevalent in every industry, and healthcare is no exception. You see healthcare competition on a daily basis in the field of healthcare as providers and organizations compete to increase patient volumes and revenue. Review this link regarding healthcare competition from the point of view of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the government agency charged with regulating and monitoring competition.

Find an example of healthcare competition in your local region. This can include things such as competing provider groups, hospitals, or other services.

  • Discuss what these organizations do to help compete with their competitors and draw in more patients, increase visits, and ultimately increase growth.
  • Describe how this competition benefits the consumer.

Note: You can choose any combination of articles from Modules 2 and 3 for your Critical Appraisal. For example, you may choose two unfiltered research articles from Module 2 and two filtered research articles (systematic reviews) from Module 3 or one article from Module 2 and three articles from Module 3. You can choose any combination of articles from the prior Module Assignments as long as both modules and types of studies are represented.

Part 3B: Critical Appraisal of Research

few different diagnoses that this could be, however, I am looking more for signs that you choose a
diagnosis and can support that based on your research. And as always, I will be looking for solid
medication recommendations.

DC is a 46-year-old female who presents with a 24-hour history of RUQ pain. She states the pain

Week 4: Project Aims, Values, and Desired
Outcomes

1. A reference to the project’s benefits in terms of cost, time, and/or quality that address needs or
changes, results, impacts, or consequences that the project has on people, programs, or institutions.

2. Goals and objectives that are measurable, shared, and hypothetically agreed on by all key stakeholders.
They are directly linked to the concept of project success factors.

3. What variables need to be considered and and whether or not you have control over them.
• For example, if you were to implement a clinic-wide practice change, would budget be an issue and

how would you address that variable?
• If you were to implement your study, consider how would you gather data. Would you choose the

qualitative or quantitative method?

• An explanation of what your research will provide to the community, or to social
change.

• A description of the desired outcomes: Specifically, state the purpose, focus, and viewpoint of the
project as well as its expected accomplishments.

• While you may not be implementing your project, you should have a goal in mind that relates to solving
your problem.

• Establish a timeline for accomplishing your project goal(s).

This section should be 3–4 pages in length, not including the cover or reference page,
and should address the intended outcomes of your project. You must reference a minimum of 3

PLEASE RESPOND TO THE FOLLOWING IN 50 WORDS OR MORE:

The Nursing Legislation and Advocacy page on the FNA website identifies 4-different ways for you to get involved with advocacy.  Discuss which way(s) you would most likely get involved with and why?

One of the four different ways to get involved with advocacy that I would get involved in according to the FNA website would be joining the Barbara Lumpkin Institute to have public policy education readily available to improve the healthcare system. By joining this group, I would be given the opportunity to annual symposium and provide financial support to nurses who are involved in healthcare policy (FNA). I love to enjoy researching different topics and interviewing my colleagues on how we can improve to be as safe as possible. I would emphasize the importance of patient-to-nurse ratios and how to manage the nursing shortage starting with staff burnout. There needs to be more support for bedside nursing as it seems like the rate of people going this route is less and less. 

Find and peruse the Barbara Lumpkin Toolkit (BLT).  What are your thoughts about the information provided in the toolkit and what did you learn that you didn’t know before?

I think that the Barbra Lumkin Toolkit (BLT) is an excellent tool to use for anyone looking to promote advocacy in the healthcare setting.  Advocacy is such an important part of nursing not only for our patients but for ourselves as nurses as well. I especially liked learning about the “Ten Commandments for successful living with your legislator”. Something that I didn’t know before is that anyone can call or write to the legislators regarding their reason for change or alteration to current bills. I think that it is so important that nurses get their voices heard and share their opinions with the people who are involved with making changes to the healthcare system.
