The purpose of this activity is to engage in a volunteer experience with a safety net project or community program.

The purpose of this activity is to engage in a volunteer experience with a safety net project or community
program. The historical roots of the nursing profession originate from the work of Florence Nightingale in
giving service to those populations with increased risk or susceptibility to poor health outcomes. This
experiential learning activity will provide you with an opportunity to demonstrate the ability to provide a
service to the community while learning about and responding to a priority need of a specific sub population
of your community. You will come to understand the expanded role of nurses as advocates beyond the
bedside

Week 8: Global Health & Course Reflection

Week 8: Global Health & Course Reflection

Section 1: This section can be put into table format.

  • Using the U.S. as a high-income country, chose an upper or lower middle and low-income country for the table in the content section.
  • Identify the leading causes of death and illness
  • Identify infant mortality rates
  • Identify the life expectancy at birth rates m/f
  • Identify total expenditure on health per capita
  • Identify expenditure on health as % of GDP
  • Describe the health care system and how it is funded
  • What is the current identified number of COVID-19 cases?

Section 2:

  1. In the countries that you chose, do you see a correlation between economic status and the health of the population? Explain your answer, and give specifics.
  2. Read Coronavirus is exposing all of the weaknesses in the US health system.
  3. https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2020/3/16/21173766/coronavirus-covid-19-us-cases-health-care-system

The international response to the novel coronavirus has laid this bare: America was less prepared for a pandemic than countries with universal health systems”. (D. Scott, Vox). Agree? disagree? Why?

  1. In reflecting upon this assignment and the course readings on global health, why must we as nurses in the U.S. think globally regarding health, illness, and disease? How can we as a profession use our “power” our voice —to make an impact so needed in our world?

Course Reflection Discussion:
For the final discussion forum, I would like you to share a story of an” aha moment” you experienced during this course. Tell us the story of how it changed or will change your current practice, professional goals, or your life passion. There will be one general discussion forum to post your story. Use this opportunity to read through all of your group members’ stories and respond to at least two of your peer’s entries before Friday.

The discussion blog topic for Week 5 of Health Care Management is “Competition” – competition between community hospitals and physicians who serve on their medical staffs,

The discussion blog topic for Week 5 of Health Care Management is “Competition” – competition between community hospitals and physicians who serve on their medical staffs, and competition between community hospitals and corporate specialized outpatient services providers such as ambulatory surgery centers, outpatient imaging centers, and outpatient diagnostic centers.

Community hospitals serve an important health care need, especially in communities classified as rural which may be hours away from the larger hospital health systems located in urban areas.  Community hospitals tend to serve a disproportionate percentage of uninsured patients and poor patients insured through the state Medicaid program.  The uninsured are at high risk of defaulting on their payment obligations.  State Medicaid programs pay hospitals much less than private insurance plans.  The high payment default rates by uninsured patients and low payments by state Medicaid programs places community hospitals at high risk of financial default and ultimate closure, which in turn places families requiring labor & delivery (L&D) services, emergency (ER) services, intensive care (ICU) services, etc. in a medically dangerous position of being unable to access necessary health care services.

https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2022/11/28/23424682/us-health-care-rural-hospital-closures-mergers

In addition to L&D, ER, ICU and other medical services needed by community residents, community hospitals may be needed to quickly respond to mass illnesses and injuries affecting community residents, such as the COVID-19 virus in 2020.  In an emergency, time is of the essence and patients may not have the time to be transported to an urban hospital.

By way of example, at the outset of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020, 24 nursing home residents were emergently transported from the Gallatin Center for Health and Healing to Sumner Regional Medical Center late in the night on March 27. EMS staff dressed in Hazmat suits and ambulances from three counties responded to the emergency on Friday night.  On Sunday afternoon, all of the remaining residents were transferred to Sumner Regional using 54 ambulances, two EMS buses and one wheelchair van.  As a community hospital, Sumner Regional had to be ready, willing and able to accept this sudden influx of critically ill patients.

https://www.gallatinnews.com/news/dead-others-hospitalized-after-covid–outbreak-at-gallatin-nursing/article_843189a8-709d-11ea-b499-272c15888086.html

Community hospitals rely on physicians to refer patients for not only inpatient services, L&D, and other services that often run negative profit  margins, but also for the higher revenue-producing outpatient services that include same day surgery, ER, and X-Ray/MRI/CT imaging services.

The textbook reports at p. 324 that between 1990 and 2000, more than 200 rural hospitals (8% nationally) and nearly 300 urban hospitals (11% nationally) closed for economic reasons.  An Aug. 19, 2019 article in The Tennesseean reported that Tennessee leads the nation in hospital closures per capita; and is second only to Texas, a much larger state, in the absolute number of hospitals closing their doors. 

https://www.tennessean.com/story/opinion/2019/08/19/rural-tennessee-hospitals-continue-cycle-failure/1988090001/ (Links to an external site).

A Dec. 12, 2019 WKRN.com story reported that rural hospital closures have left a quarter of Tennesseeans without emergency room access.

https://www.wkrn.com/special-reports/counties-in-crisis/hospital-closures-leave-a-quarter-of-tennesseans-without-emergency-room-access/ (Links to an external site.)

Increasingly, physicians seek to compete directly against community hospitals by establishing their own physician-owned ambulatory surgery centers (ASC), urgent care centers, walk-in clinics, imaging centers, and other services that can be provided outside of the hospital.  (See textbook at p. 288.)  The advantage to the physician owners of an ASC is that they earn a professional services fee for surgeries they perform, as well as a distribution of the ASC’s profits for the services provided by all of the providers utilizing the ASC.  Many physicians “partner,” either formally or informally, with large urban health systems and/or national specialty outpatient service providers that compete directly with the community hospitals.  The result of the physician having an ownership interest in a health facility such as an ASC, walk-in clinic, imaging center, etc. is that the physician then refers all of their patients who are appropriate for the outpatient setting to the joint venture in which the physician has an ownership interest (again, earning a distribution of profits.)

In addition to physician owners having an incentive to refer their patients to health treatment centers in which they have an ownership interest, third party payers, such as Medicare and commercial insurance providers, encourage patients to go to these non-hospital outpatient services providers because they have a lower charge structure.  The lower overhead, reduced operating hours, leaner staffing requirements, and overall lower operating costs allow for lower charges than community hospitals that must provide 24/7 full-service health care operations to “all-comers” (meaning all patients regardless of insurance coverage).  

However, when there is an disaster, emergency or pandemic affecting the community, we look to our community hospital to be ready, willing and able to take care of the community’s sick.

Corporate owners of these outpatient services facilities actively solicit physicians to invest in the facility.  Physicians are more likely to refer patients to a facility that they own as opposed to a facility that they do not own.  While these outpatient services facilities offer greater efficiencies for physicians and patients, they also provide lucrative investment interests for the physicians.  By way of example, some surgeons will only do outpatient surgeries at ambulatory surgery center facilities in which they have an ownership interest, unless the surgery has to be done in the hospital due to the complexity of the procedure or medical fragility of the patient.  These surgeon owners can realize millions in annual profits distributions that are directly tied to surgeon owners utilizing the facility.  

Physician ownership increasingly encroaches on the revenue sources for community hospitals.  Competitors and policymakers recognize the challenge that the community hospitals are facing, and have commented that the hospitals “just have to figure out” how to be competitive in the changing marketplace.   Yet, these same competitors and policymakers expect the community hospital to be prepared to respond quickly and effectively to emergencies impacting the entire community likeness shootings, ebola outbreaks, and  COVID-19.  

Please comment on the changing health care environment whereby physicians are incentivized through lucrative ownership interests to redirect patient referrals away from the community hospital to outpatient facilities in which they have an ownership interest.

(1) Should policymakers do more to protect community hospitals from direct competition by their primary referral source – physicians?  

(2) How can community hospitals be competitive in the face of declining utilization and revenues?

Purpose of Assignment

  1. Purpose of Assignment
    According to the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (2008), “Uphold ethical standards related to data security, regulatory requirements, confidentiality, and clients’ right to privacy.”

    American Association of College of Nursing. (2008). The Essentials of Baccalaureate Education for Professional Nursing Practice. Retrieved from: https://www.aacnnursing.org/Education-Resources/AACN-Essentials

  2. Course Competency
    Analyze ethical and nursing informatics practice standards within the context of healthcare delivery.
    Content

    Scenario
    You are a nursing manager of the education and innovations department at a large nonprofit academic medical center. You do work at the flagship hospital, but there are three additional campuses and several affiliated facilities throughout three additional states. Therefore, technology is heavily relied upon for consistent and reliable communication for interdisciplinary care. Recently, the CNO sent you a patient satisfaction survey highlighting how impressed this patient was with their nurse’s timeliness of answering their questions. The patient continued to share that the nurse used their personal cell phone to reach out to the patient’s provider to get clarification of the patient’s discharge instructions. The patient loved their quick response and wanted to highlight this as a best practice for all healthcare professionals.

    Instructions
    You have just completed a technology usage assessment of the healthcare staff across departments, and it has come to your attention that several nurses occasionally communicate with medical providers through text on their personal cell phones, using their phone’s messaging service. The nurses found that they are able to meet their patient needs more quickly. Your assessment also discovered that a nurse used their personal cell phone to take a picture of a patient’s foot ulcer. The picture was posted on social media as a reminder to diabetics the importance of managing their blood sugars. As the nursing education manager it is your responsibility to ensure staff are following the hospital polices and your technology assessment has highlighted that the staff is in urgent need of HIPAA training and Smart Phone use.

    Using the scenario above create a mandatory training for all staff using PowerPoint with voice over including the following:

    • Examine personal Smart Phone use and its implications in Healthcare
    • Identify and explain a minimum of 3 unethical uses of Smartphones in healthcare (including text messaging and pictures)
    • Discuss potential benefits to appropriate Smartphone use in healthcare
    • Examine judicious use of Social Media and its implications in Healthcare
    • Potential benefits to appropriate use of Social Media in healthcare
    • Identify a minimum of 3 unethical uses of Social Media (as reviewed by NCSBN)
    • Describe regulatory bodies and Ethical Frameworks used to protect Personal Health Information (PHI)
    • Investigate the role of HIPAA, HITECH, and Nursing Code of Ethics
    • Determine the legal consequences associated with unethical or illegal Smart Phone and Social Media use.
    • Format
    • Standard American English (correct grammar, punctuation, etc.)
    • Logical, original and insightful
    • Professional organization, style, and mechanics in APA format
    • Submit document through Grammarly to correct errors before submission
