Brief description of the testimony of the meetingThe meeting ended successfully. A range of issues was discussed including the feasibility of the policy and its perceived benefits. All the participants detested that they will cooperate during the period of policy implementation.

Both the parents and teachers asserted that communicable diseases were alarming among the school children. The policy came at the convenient time and it would be essential at enhancing the health and wellbeing of their children.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Policymaking is a process of setting out guidelines, rules and principles that are formulated and adopted by the party that need to achieve certain goals. It involves systematic stages of identifying the need of the policies, the parties to lead the process, gathering of information, drafting of the policy, stakeholder consultation, the approval stage and the implementation stage (Cui et al., 2017). Policymaking and its subsequent implementation are the best way of addressing the societal challenges, it encompasses a great number of people coming together to give a solution to the common problem that is affecting them. Thus, this paper discusses the analysis of vaccination policy for the school children.

Healthcare policies are prone to receive mixed reactions because of the influence it has on society. For this reason, thereof, there should be a systematic process that engages various stakeholders. This ensures that there is adequate consultation and thus making the implementation process as easy as possible. Notably, in areas where there is no consultation such policy may receive a total objection especially from the influential persons in the society including the politicians, church leaders, among others (Seither et al., 2019).

To ensure that the school children are safe from various infections, the state and county government came up with a vaccination policy for school children to secure their health. Various events financed by the state and county government were organized to as organized to educate the parents, teachers and children about the importance of vaccination policy (Seither et al., 2019). Notably, these events were scheduled to take place in various schools at both the national, county and local levels to seek public opinion about the formulated policy. In these, events members of the public were allowed to express their opinions. The reports were written by the school heads and submitted to the county and national government for decision making.

Over time, the policy was securitized by the interested parties who expressed divergent opinions about the value and the effectiveness of this policy. Overall, the vaccination policy for school children was considered an important way of preventing many of the communicable diseases. This because schools are social gathering that contains children from different backgrounds. Therefore, a trigger of any communicable infection spreads very fast. School children have a close interaction at various grounds including playing, during class sessions and thus increasing the likelihood of disease spread (Seither et al., 2019). In this case, if the infection is severe, it will cost the lives of many children and parents as well. For this reason, thereof, it is important to consider preventing the occurrence of such infections through vaccinations.

Vaccination of the school children is likely to be beneficial not only to the children but also to the entire society. The immunity of the children is lower than one of the adults. This subjects them vulnerable to many of the communicable diseases and thus compromising their health and wellbeing. Factoring on this, children will facilitate the communicability of these infections to the healthy populations including their parents and other society members (Cui et al., 2017). As a result, the entire society is affected something that could have been prevented through vaccination.

Overview

Develop a data table that illustrates one or more underperforming clinical outcomes in a care environment of your choice. Write an assessment (3–5 pages) in which you set one or more quantitative goals for the outcomes and propose a change plan that is designed to help you achieve the goals.

Note: Each assessment in this course builds on the work you completed in the previous assessment. Therefore, it is recommended that you complete the assessments in this course in the order in which they are presented.

Knowing what is the best practice for our patients is very important in providing safe and effective care. Understanding best practices can help nurses identify areas of care that need to be improved. To identify areas of need, nurses must use evidence from various sources, such as the literature, clinical practice guidelines (CPG), professional organization practice alerts or position papers, and protocols. These sources of evidence can also be used to set goals for improvement and best practices with an eye toward improving the care experience or outcomes for patients.

The challenge facing many care environments and health care practitioners is how to plan for change and implement changes. For, if we cannot effectively implement changes in practice or procedure, than our goals of improving care will likely amount to nothing. This assessment focuses on allowing you to practice locating, assessing, analyzing, and implementing change strategies in order to improve patient outcomes related to one or more clinical goals.

This assessment will take the form of a data table to identify areas for improvement and to set one or more outcome goals, as well as a narrative describing a change plan that would help you to achieve the goals you have set.

Assessment Instructions

Scenario

Consider the current environment. This could be your current care setting, the care settings presented in the Vila Health: Using Evidence to Drive Improvement or Vila Health: Concept Maps as Diagnostic Tools media, or a care setting in which you are interested in working.

For the setting that you choose you will need to have a data set that depicts sub-optimal outcomes related to a clinical issue. This data could be from existing sources in the course (Vila Health: Using Evidence to Drive Improvement), a relevant data set that already exists (a data set from the case study you used as a basis for your Concept Map assessment, or from your current place of practice), or an appropriate data set that you have created yourself. (Note: if you choose to create your own data set, check with your instructor first for approval and guidance.)

After you have selected an appropriate data set, use your understanding of the data to create at least one realistic goal (though you may create more) that will be driven by a change strategy appropriate for the environment and goal.

Potential topics for this assessment could be:

  • Consider ways to help minimize the rate of secondary infections related to the condition, disease, or disorder that you focused on for your Concept Map assessment. As a starting point you could ask yourself, “What could be changed to facilitate safety and minimize risks of infection?”
  • Consider how to help a patient experiencing traumatic stress or anxiety over hospitalization. As a starting point you could ask yourself, “How could the care environment be changed to enhance coping?”

Once you determine the change you would like to make, consider the following:

  • What data will you use to justify the change?
  • How can the team achieve this change with a reasonable cost?
  • What are the effects on the workplace?
  • What other implementation considerations do you need to consider to ensure that the change strategy is successful?
  • How does your change strategy address all aspects of the Quadruple Aim, especially the well-being of health care professionals?
  • Once the change strategy is implemented, how would you evaluate the efficiency and effectiveness of the care system if the desired outcomes are met?

Instructions

Your assessment submission should include a data table that illustrates the current and desired states of the clinical issue you are attempting to improve through your application of change strategies. Additionally, you will need to explain the rationale for your decisions around your chosen change strategies, as well as how the change strategies will be successfully implemented. The bullet points below correspond to the grading criteria in the scoring guide. Be sure that your change strategy addresses all of them. You may also want to read the Change Strategy and Implementation scoring guide and Guiding Questions: Change Strategy and Implementation to better understand how each grading criterion will be assessed.

  • Develop a data table that accurately reflects the current and desired states of one or more clinical outcomes.
  • Propose change strategies that will help to achieve the desired state of one or more clinical outcomes.
  • Justify the specific change strategies used to achieve desired outcomes.
  • Explain how change strategies will lead to quality improvement with regard to safety and equitable care.
