Financial challenges associated with changes to how healthcare organizations are reimbursed for healthcare services, the cost of implementing new technology and professionals to comply with federal requirements for electronic health records, and the increasing numbers of individuals who cannot pay for their healthcare represent only one issue for healthcare executives in the healthcare delivery system. But it has significant consequences for the viability and solvency of healthcare organizations. Healthcare executives don’t have a crystal ball; however, they do engage in forecasting the future based on what is currently known and examination of trends (Lee, 2015). To do this type of forecasting, healthcare executives are demonstrating techniques found in anticipatory management. According to their seminal research, Ashley and Morrison (1997) reported there are severe consequences for not anticipating future trends in a rapidly changing and complex society. The anticipatory management process they describe begins with scanning the environment to identify issues; creating issues briefs to inform stakeholders; prioritizing issues; assembling the team of experts; creating, implementing, and evaluating action plans and outcomes; and adjusting the course when necessary. Last week, you compared healthcare delivery and costs in the United States with those in developed countries. This week, you will focus U.S. healthcare executives and how they prioritize the challenges confronting them to minimize the impact to their organizations. .

Running head: A REVIEW OF KEY CURRENT HEALTHCARE ISSUES: QUALITY AND VALUE IN THE U.S’S HEALTHCARE SYSTEM 1 A REVIEW OF KEY CURRENT HEALTHCARE ISSUES: QUALITY AND VALUE IN THE U.S’S HEALTHCARE SYSTEM A Review of Key Current Healthcare Issues: Quality and Value in the U.S's Healthcare System Student's Name Institution Affiliation Date A Review of Key Current Healthcare Issues: Quality and Value in the U.S's Healthcare System Healthcare regulations, funds, workload, and technology continue to complicate and inconvenient the U.S healthcare system. However, the quality and value of care tops. In the United States of America, despite significant healthcare transformation efforts, poor care lingers a considerable concern. America is second to none in terms of healthcare expenditure across the globe. Ironically, evidence shows that its citizens do not receive the most appropriate care, or at least, which they need. For instance, Graban (2018) documents that preventive care is underutilized in the country, which is escalating the budget of managing advanced diseases. On the other hand, patients of chronic ailments such as diabetes, hypertension, and cardiac complications, do not also usually get treatments that are proven and effective (Wiler, Pines, & Ward, 2019). According to Strome (2019), this case is particularly true and event rampant to the persons that insured, uninsured, or under-insured. The lack of proper coordination of chronic diseases patients' care would only source more or exuberate poor healthcare. The unsurprising healthcare system's underlying fragmentation only fuels the issue given that many health care providers hardly have the payment support such related gears, necessary for effective communication and coordination to improve patient care. While a significant number of patients miss medically necessary care, other clients get unnecessary or even unsafe attention. Research depicts terrific variations in hospital inpatient lengths of stay, specialists' visits, testing and procedures, and costs — not just by United States' unalike geographic areas, but from one health institution to another in the same town (Wiler, Pines, & Ward, 2019). Though limited, evidence on the most effective treatments and procedures, on the best way of informing providers about the efficacy of different treatments, and on the failures of detecting and reducing errors further underwrite the gaps care's quality and effectiveness (Strome, 2019). The concerns are especially pertinent to the Americans of the lower social classes as well as to those from diverse demographic and ethnic groups are usually frequent victims of a lot of incongruences in health and health care. The implication of Poor Patient Care Poor quality care impacts both patients and providers negatively. For patients, it reduces their survival changes, aggravates illnesses, and leads to unnecessary mortalities (Graban, 2018). To providers, such issu.

You will collaborate with two of your classmates to share ideas and offer feedback and suggestions to one another in an informal setting. This collaboration within your group will assist you in further developing your Change Proposal to be submitted for feedback from your instructor next week. Peers submission attached below.. please provide feedback and suggestions individually!! Peer 1: Victoria Lyons posted IV. Implementation Plan Assess the factors that are likely to affect the implementation of your recommended activities Many stroke patients require rehabilitation after their hospitalization and many patients get readmitted from post-acute care facilities, educating these facilities could decrease the readmission rate however rehabilitation facilities are often short-staffed and may not have money for education amongst the staff Identify evidence-based rationales to propose how you will address them, incorporating your identified change theory. Your plan should encompass the following with evidence to support your rationale: Technological challenges Stroke patients require adequate follow-up care with their health provider team, tele-health is a great way to provide these follow-up appointments however stroke patients may not be able to navigate computers to be able to do these appointments as they frequently have deficits. Stroke health care providers would have to learn how to use tele-health and there may be push back to using it due to health care providers typically using hands on assessment skills, they may not find assessing patients this way adequate. Finding a group of health care providers that are willing to start treating patients this way is the first step. Institutional structures Changes in hospitals do not happen overnight. At my state run hospital it seems to take forever to get any changes made. Implementing education regarding how to reduce stroke readmissions would require research and then approval from many different committees to even be approved for implementation. Once approved then it has to be sent all to all hospital staff involved. Examples of committees that a hospital will have and that any changes would have to go through are finance, safety and quality, strategic planning, and audit and compliance committee (Price, 2018). Strategies for building buy-in-among different stakeholders, including nursing Doctors, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, physical therapists, social workers, and case managers will need to be on board with the change process. Historically nurses have a hard time with change. Financial trends and anticipation of the availability of human resource and project funding Implementing tele-health and training to decrease stroke readmission, mostly education and new ways to check that everything a patient needs, will cost money which the institution will have to be prepared to put into their budget.

The mandate comes from the federal government in terms of regulatory requirements, financial incentives, and a desire to reduce costs and improve quality. Research and experience has indicated that a fully deployed electronic health record system will achieve these desired outcomes. The ability to enhance the productivity of personnel is another business outcome that health care providers will need to consider. However, there are major challenges and barriers to achieving full implementation of interoperable electronic health records. Costs of Care The costs of health care in the United States are reported to be almost 17% of the gross national product (GNP), or about $7000 per capita for every person in the country. The costs for health care continue to rise faster than consumer inflation. This makes the cost of h.

DEVELOPMENT OF AN ADVOCACY CAMPAIGN (Part 2) 2 The Case for Frontotemporal Degeneration (FTD) (Part 2) NURS-6050N-23: Policy & Advocacy for Pop Health Introduction The present US health care policies and regulations established by the various government agencies, insurance companies and other healthcare organizations pose certain challenges to us as nurses and of course the patients who are generally the ones caught in the middle of cost and payment constraints and access to applicable quality care. According to the 2005 data from the United States Census Bureau about 50 million Americans are uninsured while at the same time the cost of health care is still rising. With the continued rising costs of care, degenerating and lack of access to comprehensive care, and poor-quality services, there is an urgent need to improve our health care performances in the United States. (Carey, 2006). As such, changes are required in government, health care organizations and insurance policies that tackles most of the health-related issues. (Kendig, 2006). This project focuses on the development of an advocacy campaign with a view towards addressing how current laws or regulations may affect how to proceed in advocating for a proposed policy and how to influence legislators and other policymakers to enact a policy. The project also examined possible barriers to the legislative steps that could impede a proposed policy from being enforced as designed. (WaldenU, 2017). The existing laws and regulations that are used can address the situation and contribute to changing the chronic illnesses that plague the world but using these strategies by themselves will not be suffice for addressing the problems associated with Non-Communicable Diseases across the world. This is because many countries have weak health care systems, even those that are considered “First” world countries such as America. The existing laws and regulations are encapsulated in global legal doctrines as well as national doctrines to provide budgeting for healthcare prevention but this often is negatively impacted by under-budgeting that occurs, poor demand forecasting, and poor distribution of services to those most in need. (Cherry, & Trotter Betts, 2005). Governments across the world are implementing fiscal policies that are predicated upon raising taxes, utilization of subsidiary statutory instruments such as regulations that establish standards that must be met toward cigarettes, alcohol, and other major contributors to NCDs, and the improvement of access to NCD treatments. Government agencies also play a role in monitoring and enforcing regulations that are established to address this global healthcare problem. Other measures that are taken by governments are predicated upon the allocation of resources to train healthcare providers, developing policies that ensure the retention of healthcare providers, establi.

The creation of community health promotion and education programs takes into consideration several agencies or parties who help in the achievement of the desired health goals. Each of the partners will address its roles using different approaches depending on their area of expertise. This is an important factor to consider as different institutions address health promotion using different approaches and perspectives. The overall outcome from the contribution of every partner should be able to restore and promote the physical, emotional, spiritual, psychological, and social wellness of the community in relation to the health issue being suffered (Minelli, & Breckon, 2009).

Describe the complexity of these interrelated challenges for healthcare and healthcare information technology. 3. Illustrate the history, development, and current state of healthcare information systems. 4. Name and describe the four categories of healthcare information systems. 5. Analyze the key priorities of healthcare information systems today that will affect their future. Healthcare information technology: the future is now Healthcare delivery continues to be an information-intensive set of processes. A series of Institute of Medicine (IOM 1999, 2001) studies suggests that high-quality patient care relies on careful documentation of each patient’s medical history, health status, current medical conditions, and treatment plans. Financial information is essential for strategic planning and efficient operational support of the patient care process. Management of healthcare organizations requires reliable, accurate, current, secure, and relevant clinical and administrative information. A strong argument can be made that the healthcare field is one of the most information-intensive sectors of the US economy. Information technology has advanced to a high level of sophistication. However, technology can only provide tools to aid in the accomplishment of a wider set of organizational goals. Analysis of information requirements in the broader organizational context should always take precedence over a rush to computerize. Information technology by itself is not the answer to management problems; technology must be part of a broader restructuring of the organization, including reengineering of business processes. Alignment 1 Glandon-Proof.indb 3 6/10/13 11:40 AM I n f o r m a t i o n S y s t e m s f o r H e a l t h c a r e M a n a g e m e n t4 of information technology strategy with management goals of the healthcare organization is essential. Despite these cautions, effective design, implementation, and management of healthcare information technology (HIT) show great promise (De Angelo 2000; Glaser and Garets 2005; Kaushal, Barker, and Bates 2001; Smaltz et al. 2005a). An essential element in a successful information systems implementation is carefully planned teamwork by clinicians, managers, and technical systems specialists. Information systems developed in isolation by technicians may be technically pure and elegant in design, but rarely will they pass the test of reality in meeting organizational requirements. On the other hand, very few managers and clinicians possess the equally important technical knowledge and skills of systems analysis and design, and the amateur analyst cannot hope to avoid the havoc that can result from a poorly designed system. A balanced effort is required: Operational personnel contribut.

THIS IS THE FEEDBACK I RECEEIVED. Only one patient responded to my post. Hope this helps Ryan, Inadequate levels of nursing professionals were first discussed more than 80 years ago (Whelan, n.d.). Recently, scholars have opined many reasons for the shortage of nurses. Factors such as work stress, burnout, violence against healthcare professionals, a lack of qualified nursing instructors, and nurses unable to adapt to changing technology or clinical environments have been addressed (Haddad & Toney-Butler, 2019). As many nurses may attest, doing more with less can lead to mistakes and dissatisfaction with a nursing career. Ultimately, patient care suffers. Organizations employ various tactics to help strengthen nurse retention. Halter et al. (2017) suggest strong nursing leadership and assigning preceptors to new nurses can help minimize nursing resignation rates. At the writer’s employment, hospital administrators use several ways to retain nurses. Each quarter, a nurse is recognized for outstanding achievement by receiving a certificate, gift card, and editorial mention on the hospital’s intranet. Moreover, the hospital caters lunch for all employees, dayside and nighttime staff, twice a year for meeting quality targets. Also, the hospital uses various national celebration days such as ice cream, donuts, coffee, bagels, and candy to reward all employees. Creating a level of goodwill and institutional collaboration can help retain nurses and improve job satisfaction (Kurnat-Thoma et al., 2017). Reference Haddad, L.M., & Toney-Butler, T.J. (2019).

The changes that have occurred were made for the purpose of improving quality, rewarding value and not volume, as well as integrating and coordinating the care (Seshamani & Sen, 2018). As such, this paper will seek to put into consideration current healthcare laws within the U.S. and the nurse’s role within this continuously changing environment; the manner in which quality measures and pay for performance affect patient outcomes. Furthermore, the emerging trends in the healthcare system, professional nursing leadership, and management roles will be discussed. The Emerging Health Care Laws and their Effects on Nursing Practice One of the most crucial healthcare legislat ions that has been enacted in the United States since the inception of Medicare and Medicaid in 1965 is the Affordable Care Act (Obama, 2016). The ACA was enacted in 2010. Issues relat ing to affordability, ease of access, and the care quality within the United States healthcare system were some of the driving factors that formed the list of many t ime spanning challenges that compiled the init iat ion of this legislat ion. Between 2010 to 2015 there was a decrease in the number of uninsured cit izens in the U.S. by forty three percent as an effect of the Affordable Care Act. The payment systems in healthcare are undergoing some changes and the access to care has also improved (Obama, 2016). The ACA promotes preventive healthcare models that put emphasis on quality care, primary care, and the funding of community health init iat ives (Lathrop and Hodnicki, 2014). Millions of previously uninsured cit izens are also provided insurance coverage and also some healthcare areas that need reforms so as to meet the needs of patients’ improved healthcare outcomes are highly focused by the act. The act has an effect on nursing practice in several ways. The first effect is that the act creates a high demand for healthcare professionals that are sufficiently trained to provide healthcare services that are up to the acts’ standards. The second effect is that Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs) who hold the Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) are required to be prepared so that they can meet the increased needs through the provision of leadership skills in community health centers. These professionals are also held accountable for direct ing and advocating for future init iates as well as ser.

Health care policy involves the establishment and implementation of legislation and other regulations that the states use to manage its health care system effectively. Further, this sector consists of other participants, such as insurance and health information technology. The cost citizens pay for medical care and also the access to quality care influence the overall health care providers in Colorado. Therefore, the need for the creation and implementation of laws that help the state maintain efficiency in the health sector in Colorado. Problem Statement The declining standards of medical care within the United States has caused significant concern in the world. Due to these rising concerns, there have been various policies implemented, leading to mixed reactions among the different states. Some of the active policies implemented offer a long-term solution to this problem including Medicaid and Medicare. After acquiring state control, the Republicans dismissed the idea to expand and create medical insurance for Medicaid in Colorado. Sustaining the structure of the health care payroll calls for the deductions from the employees and the employers, which may lead to loss of jobs and increased burden of expenditure (Garcia, 2019). Identify the Methodology The main objective of this policy plan is to investigate the role of legislation in the management of the health care sector in the United States. Due to the need for achieving in-depth exploration, this paper uses a combination of both qualitative and quantitative methods of data collection by addressing both practical and theoretical aspects of the research. Based on the answers that the policy requires, choosing survey as the research design. This method involves collecting and analyzing data from a few people who represent the principal group within health care. However, the survey method faces some challenges such as attitudes and perception of the health workers leading to the delimitation of the study. The target population for the study includes the nurses within the health sectors in Colorado. The selection of the participants involved in the use of stratified random sampling.

Running head: U.S. HEALTHCARE EXECUTIVES 1 U.S. HEALTHCARE EXECUTIVES 7 Week 2 Assignment-Operational challenges, trends and issues for the U.S. Healthcare Executives Student’s Name Institutional Affiliation Introduction A healthcare system is an organization of funds, individuals, and institutions which provide healthcare to satisfy the health requirements of a society. Globally, healthcare systems vary depending on the specific healthcare needs of particular states. Nevertheless, the common aspects of public and private care are often similar (Drummond, Sculpher, Claxton, Stoddart & Torrance, 2015). Over the years, we have witnessed the systems evolving, and with this constant change, it is vital to analyze operational challenges, trends, and issues for the U.S. healthcare executives. In this paper, the main areas that will be discussed are operational challenges, trends, and problems experienced in the United States health care executives. Challenges experienced in the healthcare workplace Various problems have been experienced in the healthcare workplace relating to healthcare provision in the United States. Financial difficulties are one of the main challenges being experienced in the healthcare workplace in the United States. The vital financial problems arise due to lack of enough finances for implementation of new technologies to improve healthcare delivery process (Mayes, 2017). Most healthcare facilities lack adequate funds to implement advanced technologies that can be used to increase the quality of healthcare delivery. As a result, this has reduced healthcare quality improvement plans in the United States. Therefore, there is a need for federal governments to meek proper arrangements to fund all healthcare activities to improve services delivery in the health sector. Besides, healthcare professionals to comply with federal requirements for electronic health records is another challenge that has been experienced in the United States healthcare workplace. For the past year, some healthcare professionals have failed to comply with federal government guidelines regarding health care delivery (Mayes, 2017). Furthermore, the increasing number of patients who cannot pay for health care services is a significant challenge that has been experienced in the United States healthcare delivery systems. These finance challenges adversely affect healthcare delivery system in the United States. Work overload is another major challenge that has been experienced in the United States health sectors (Mayes, 2017). Observations for past years reveal that work overload at the workplace affects the performance of health care professionals in the United States. Most healthcare professionals are assigned many responsibilities at workplaces, which reduces their efficiency. Another cause of the rising cost of healthcare is the introduction of government programs. For example, Medicare assists those without insurance, which led to an incre.

1 6 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Jessica Ramos Capella University NURS-FPX6212: Health Care Quality Safety Management Dr. Mary Ellen Cockerham August 18, 2021 Executive Summary Medication error being a systematic problem is not a new case. It is something that nurses and other healthcare providers have experienced. The error could be a result of recurring issues of just human error. It could also lead to more severe injuries where the patient could find themselves with a new condition such as itching rashes or skin problems that could either be temporary or permanent. These medication errors could even lead to death in some cases, significantly hurting the patient's family, especially when they know that the death of their loved one could have been prevented. It could make the healthcare provider responsible for the error start doubting themselves and start feeling guilty and ashamed for the action. It could even lead to depression throughout their life. If the deceased's family decides to file a lawsuit against the nurse or the one who was responsible, it could result in them losing their license. Medication errors can also impact the hospital where the healthcare provider is working, and patients even lose trust in the kind of treatment offered in that hospital. The occurrence of medication errors could cause the organization not to achieve its goals and objectives of providing quality care to patients for better results. Since human is to error, a medication error of not greater than 5% is allowed, but currently, it is at 39.5% (Barker et al. 2020) As a nursing leader, I would recommend using various strategies to help minimize the occurrence of such medication errors in the future. The management should make it their responsibility to establish a safety culture and constantly report the current system and how it is performing. Healthcare providers should understand that humans are to error, and no one is to be blamed or receive a harsh form of punishment. The healthcare provider responsible for the medication error should acknowledge their mistake and report to the nursing leaders or the supervisor in charge to ensure patient safety before things get worse. Nursing is a vital profession in the healthcare sector, mainly concerned with providing quality care to individuals and families. However, it has been discovered that there is a gap between the expected outcomes and the actual results. As a nursing leader, I will present the matter before other executive leaders to ensure care has been improved. Even though care is the primary concern of nurses, other healthcare providers should also work to ensure quality and safety outcomes. It is the responsibility of every individual in the organization.

Anna M. Rose Jacob M. Rose Oregon State University Kerri-Ann Sanderson Jay C. Thibodeau Bentley University ABSTRACT: This study investigates how the timing of the consideration of Big Data visualizations affects an auditor’s evaluation of evidence and professional judgments. In addition, we examine whether the use of an intuitive processing mode, as compared to a deliberative processing mode, influences an auditor’s use and evaluation of Big Data visualizations. We conduct an experiment with 127 senior auditors from two Big 4 firms and find that auditors have difficulty recognizing patterns in Big Data visualizations when viewed before more traditional audit evidence. Our findings also indicate that auditors who view Big Data visualizations containing patterns that are contrary to management assertions after they view traditional audit evidence have greater concerns about potential misstatements and increase budgeted hours more. Overall, our results suggest that Big Data visualizations used as evidential matter have fewer benefits when they are viewed before auditors examine more traditional audit evidence. Keywords: Big Data; visualizations; pattern recognition; intuitive processing; deliberative processing. I. INTRODUCTION T he financial statement audit process increasingly involves the use of greater amounts of data and more sophisticated analytical tools. In order to leverage the value of new data sources and ultimately reduce the risk of material misstatement, audit firms are now evaluating audit approaches that encompass multiple external and internal sources of data (Yoon, Hoogduin, and Zhang 2015). Many of the new approaches involve harnessing the richness of information contained in what is commonly referred to as Big Data. We examine auditors’ use of Big Data to identify relevant patterns that can be used to inform their audit judgments and decisions. Big Data consists of large, unstructured datasets that are beyond the processing capabilities of traditional querying tools and that include data from financial and nonfinancial sources (Brown-Liburd, Issa, and Lombardi 2015). Big Data is generated on a continuous basis from a wide variety of sources with varying degrees of veracity (Zhang, Yang, and Appelbaum 2015). Audit firms wish to use this potentially va.
