The foundation of the social work profession is rooted in two levels of social assessment and reform. One is the individual, or micro, approach, which examines the needs of the individual living in poverty and explores how trained social work professionals could assist the individual in overcoming barriers to economic self-sufficiency. The other approach, which occurs simultaneously, is a macro, or larger environment, approach. This approach identifies and influences changes in the larger systems (education, economic, etc.) to improve self-sufficiency. The social work profession incorporates both approaches and trains professionals to intervene effectively at both levels of practice.

For this Discussion, review this week’s resources. Then, reflect on the dichotomy between micro and macro practice. Next, think about how micro practice has come to dominate the social work profession.

There is often the requirement to evaluate descriptive statistics for data within the organization or for health care information. Every year the National Cancer Institute collects and publishes data based on patient demographics. Understanding differences between the groups based upon the collected data often inform health care professionals towards research, treatment options, or patient education.

Using the data on the “National Cancer Institute Data” Excel spreadsheet, calculate the descriptive statistics indicated below for each of the Race/Ethnicity groups. Refer to your textbook and the Topic Materials, as needed, for assistance in with creating Excel formulas.

Provide the following descriptive statistics:

  1. Measures of Central Tendency: Mean, Median, and Mode
  2. Measures of Variation: Variance, Standard Deviation, and Range (a formula is not needed for Range).
  3. Once the data is calculated, provide a 150-250 word analysis of the descriptive statistics on the spreadsheet. This should include differences and health outcomes between groups.

APA style is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.

Assessment 2 Mobilizing Care for an Immigrant Population

Overview

Develop a project plan to mobilize coordinated care for an immigrant or refugee population. Then, draft a 4–5- page organizational policy addressing care for this group, informed by the project plan, that meets current standards of practice.

Note: The assessments in this course build upon the work you have completed in the previous assessments. Therefore, complete the assessments in the order in which they are presented.

The United States’ evolving diversity brings prospects and challenges for health care providers, health care systems, and policymakers to produce and deliver culturally-competent services for immigrant and refugee populations. For example, improving health outcomes for undocumented immigrant populations presents unique and often difficult challenges for care coordinators at all levels. New arrivals in a community bring with them different cultural backgrounds, beliefs, perceptions, and biases that may influence their seeking access to care and exacerbate health disparities. In addition, they may struggle to navigate a complex and sometimes bewildering health care system.

This assessment provides an opportunity for you to examine an undocumented immigrant population of your choice, develop a project plan to address their care coordination needs, and craft an organizational policy addressing care that meets current standards of practice.

By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:

Competency 1: Propose a project for change, for a community or population, within a care coordination setting.

Provide the rationale for addressing the health care needs of a particular immigrant or refugee population. Describe the characteristics that define a particular immigrant or refugee population. Interpret current organizational policies for providing health care to immigrants and refugees in the United States.

Competency 2: Align care coordination resources with community health care needs. Assess the health care needs of a particular immigrant or refugee population.

Competency 3: Apply project management best practices to affect ethical practice and support positive health outcomes in the delivery of safe, culturally competent care in compliance with applicable regulatory requirements.

Analyze assumptions and biases associated with a particular immigrant or refugee population and the influence of culture and linguistic differences on access to care. Evaluate two U.S. health care policies, national initiatives, or pieces of legislation that provide guidance on current standards of care for immigrant and refugee populations.

Competency 4: Identify ways in which the care coordinator leader supports collaboration between key stakeholders in the care coordination process.

Describe the characteristics that define the chosen population. Provide demographic information, such as the age, gender(s), location, social, psychological, economic, political, cultural, or other characteristics of the population that you believe are important.

Interpret current policies in your organization for providing health care for immigrants and refugees who do not have permanent resident status in the United States.

What are the key policy elements that guide practice? Do the policies and practices keep pace with environmental changes and current legislation?

Analyze assumptions and biases associated with a particular immigrant or refugee population, and the influence of culture and linguistic differences on access to care.

Do any of the assumptions have merit? What assumptions or biases might be particularly pernicious or harmful as the basis for decision making? How can culture and linguistic differences affect access to care?

Evaluate two U.S. health care policies, national initiatives, or pieces of legislation that provide guidance on current standards of care for immigrant or refugee populations.

Do these policies, initiatives, or laws guarantee fair and ethical treatment? Do they provide a sufficient basis for guiding professional practice in the provision of safe, high-quality, and equitable care?

Communications and Information Literacy

Write clearly and concisely, using correct grammar and mechanics. Express your main points and conclusions coherently. Proofread your writing to minimize errors that could distract readers and make it difficult to focus on the substance of your evaluation.

Support main points, claims, and conclusions with relevant and credible evidence, correctly formatting citations and references using APA style.

Is your supporting evidence clear and explicit? How or why does particular evidence support a claim? Will your audience see the connections?

Investigate your organization’s compliance rate with one specific  core measure of your choice and write a 2-3-page (maximum) executive  summary analyzing the financial and regulatory impact of organizational  compliance with your chosen measure. Include recommendations for  improving performance on the measure.

In order to promote safe, caring, patient-centered environments,  nurse leaders must both conceptually understand and be proficient at  performing a wide variety of leadership skills. Effective nursing  leaders develop and maintain awareness of issues that emerge at many  levels within and outside of their organizations. In addition to  developing self-assessing competencies necessary for their roles, nurse  leaders must also acquire organizational and systems leadership skill  sets.

In this program, you have examined the role, concepts, and principles of  health care policy and how legal and regulatory agencies interact with  professional nursing practice. You have also looked closely at the  factors that impact disparities in health care access. This  understanding of health care policy, as well as the multicultural,  socioeconomic, political, legal, and regulatory elements that affect  individuals, communities, and vulnerable populations, positions nurses  to bring about change through effective communication with colleagues,  consumers, and officials. Added to this is your demonstrated knowledge  of financial management and cost containment, as well as how they affect  quality of care.

To help you prepare for this assessment, review the resources you used  and the assessments you completed in BSN-FP4006, BSN-FP4008, and  BSN-FP4012.

For this assessment, write an executive summary analyzing the  financial and regulatory impact of organizational compliance with a  specific core measure of your choice. The summary must include  recommendations for improving performance on the measure.

You must be able to explain the financial implications associated  with the measure, as well as its importance in terms of policy,  regulation, and finance. This is another good opportunity to consult  with a key stakeholder within the organization. Talking to someone who  works closely with the organization’s finances can help you develop a  deeper understanding of the financial aspects of compliance. You also  need to suggest ways your organization can improve compliance and how  you would implement changes and overcome obstacles.

This may seem like an enormous undertaking, but you should approach  it as if you were to present this information to your supervisor or  manager. Keeping in mind that people in these positions do not have time  to read a 10–12-page report, you would typically give them only an  executive summary of your analyses and recommendations. That means that  you will need to be very clear and very concise with the information you  choose to include in the executive summary. Say as much as possible  with as few words as possible.

Directions

Select a core measure and investigate your organization’s  compliance rate with the measure. In your executive summary, address the  following:

  1. Compare the compliance rates of your organization with those of other organizations.
  2. Explain why the measure is important in terms of policy, regulation, and finance.
  3. Describe changes that could be made that would improve compliance with the measure.
  4. Identify the stakeholders who would be affected by the changes.
  5. Identify obstacles you would expect to encounter and explain strategies to overcome these obstacles.

Additional Requirements

  • Format: Include a title page and references page. As this is an executive summary, do not  use APA style and formatting. To determine the appropriate format, it  may be helpful for you to review the documents used in your  organization. How do they look? What kind of language is used in memos?  These can help guide your development of this executive summary.  Certainly, feel free to use bullet points as appropriate.
  • Length: Write a 2–3-page (maximum) summary of your information, not including the title page and references page.
  • References: You must still reference scholarly  resources to support your work. Use at least three current scholarly or  professional resources.
  • Font: Use 12-point, Times New Roman font.

Describe the characteristics of the aging process. Explain how some of the characteristics may lead to elder abuse (memory issues, vulnerability, etc.).

1. Describe the characteristics of the aging process. Explain how some of the characteristics may lead to elder abuse (memory issues, vulnerability, etc.). Discuss the types of consideration a nurse must be mindful of while performing a health assessment on a geriatric patient as compared to a middle-aged adult.

2.End-of-life care becomes an issue at some point for elderly clients. Even with the emergence of palliative care programs and hospice programs, most elderly people do not die in their own homes as is their preference. What are the reasons for this trend? Discuss what you can do as a nurse to support your clients regarding end-of-life care in accordance with their wishes. Support your response with evidence-based literature.

Discuss how they are similar or different in the way the define/discuss health and wellness, illness, the client, the environment, and nursing.

/in /by

For this discussion, in three to four paragraphs, contrast two nursing models and theories found in your reading. Discuss how they are similar or different in the way the define/discuss health and wellness, illness, the client, the environment, and nursing. Summarize by selecting the one model or theory that aligns best with your beliefs and then describe how this would affect the way in which you would practice nursing.
