WK 11 socw 8205 Discussion 2: Social Work in Palliative Care Palliative care refers to specialized medical care that focuses on providing relief from physical symptoms and improving the quality of life of patients and caregivers. Palliative care can be provided to patients with any medical condition at any stage of illness to relieve symptoms. It can be a patient’s primary treatment (which is often the case with end-of-life care), or it can be provided in combination with standard medical treatments. Palliative care team members work alongside a patient’s medical team and can include professionals from multiple disciplines, including doctors, nurses, social workers, and chaplains. To prepare for this Discussion: Review this week’s resources. Think about the circumstances, timing, payment, and other features related to palliative care. Post a description of perceptions of palliative care from the perspective of a 300 to 500 words question or topic in bold then answers Patient Caregiver Social worker Then, explain the roles of social workers in providing palliative care. Compare and contrast the fundamental differences between palliative care and hospice care. Explain medical conditions where you might consider palliative care over hospice care for a patient. Justify your position. Use examples to illustrate your case.

SOCW 6210 Week 11: Discussion: Systems Perspective and Social Change Zastrow and Kirst-Ashman (2016) stated, "Clients are affected by and in constant dynamic interactions with other systems, including families, groups, organizations, and communities" (p. 35-36). As a social worker, when you address the needs of an individual client, you also take into account the systems with which the client interacts. Obtaining information about these systems helps you better assess your client's situation. These systems may provide support to the client, or they may contribute to the client's presenting problem. For this Discussion, review "Working With People With Disabilities: The Case of Lester."Consider the systems with which Lester Johnson, the client, interacts. Think about ways you might apply a systems perspective to his case. Also, consider the significance of the systems perspective for social work in general. Assignment: Post a Discussion in which you: · explain how multiple systems interact to impact individuals. · Explain how you, as a social worker, might apply a systems perspective to your work with Lester Johnson. · Finally, explain how you might apply a systems perspective to social work practice. · Proper English with no run-on sentences is an absolute requirement! The paper must contain at least 2 references and citations. Use the following resources for the references and citations. At a minimum, be sure to reference Zastrow and Kirst-Ashman and Plummer.

End-of-Life Care and Social Work Practice The death of an elderly individual may occur in a variety of settings and circumstances. For example, an individual may die painlessly at home surrounded by the support of many loved ones, or an individual may suffer severe pain for months before dying in a health facility with little social support. In addition, it is possible that many health and helping professionals may interact with the dying person and his or her family. For this Assignment, you consider a social worker's role in end-of-life care. In addition to reading this week's resources, conduct your own research and obtain at least one additional journal article that addresses how a social worker might support clients as they plan end-of-life care. Submit by Day July 8, 2017 a 2- to 4-page paper that analyzes the role of the social worker in helping to plan end-of-life care. Include possible consideration of palliative care, euthanasia, hospice care, the living will and advanced directives, and other factors. Research and cite at least one journal article to support your analysis. Support your Assignment with specific references to the resources. Be sure to provide full APA citations for your references.

Nurses as Health Advocates Nurses as Health Advocates What does it take to be an effective health advocate? As a nurse, you have many opportunities to advocate for patients and populations, whether formally or informally. Being an advocate involves more than knowing how to lobby or to whom to write letters. It requires passion and compassion, commitment and courage. In this Discussion, you will consider the attributes of an effective advocate for population health and/or the nursing profession. You will analyze those attributes that help nurses be a powerful force in improving the quality of health care. To prepare: Review the article “On Being a Good Nurse: Reflections on the Past and Preparing for the Future” and “War, its aftermath, and U.S. health policy: Toward a comprehensive health program for America’s military personnel, veterans, and their families” found in this week’s Learning Resources. Consider the multiple health care needs of returning veterans and their families. Post by Day 3 t wo types of health needs returning veterans and their families might need. Identify two types of health needs returning veterans and their families might need. How might you advocate for the needs of this population. What type of advocacy skills would you need and how could you develop them. What responsibility does a nurse have to be an advocate? Give specific examples . Required Resources Readings Milstead, J.

“A team is a group with a specific task or tasks, the accomplishment of which requires the interdependent and collaborative efforts of its members” (Wise, Beckhard, Rubin, & Kyte, 1974, p. 73). Grumbach and Bodenheimer (2004, p. 1249) identified five key elements of team building and explained that a cohesive, organized team must have “clear goals with measurable outcomes, clinical and administrative systems, division of labor, training, and communication.” Teamwork brings together diverse knowledge and skills and can result in professional collaboration and cost-effective quality service. Despite evidence that teams may enhance patient care, working on an interdisciplinary health care team can be challenging. For example, a member may be threatened by the notion of giving up some of his or her professional autonomy to the group effort, or there may be a lack of confidence and trust in the opinions and decisions of individuals from other disciplines. It requires skill and flexibility to coordinate and collaborate with multiple professionals who possess different backgrounds and areas of expertise toward a common goal: improving the delivery of services to patients. To prepare for this Assignment , select a discipline of medical social work of interest to you. Then, read the assigned case study and think about how a team would care for or provide service to the identified client. Case study: Claire is a 60-year-old Caucasian female. She has been married to her husband for 35 years and has two grown children. She has been admitted to the hospital for a double mastectomy due to her recent breast cancer diagnosis. Claire and her family remain unclear about her prognosis. By Day 7 In a 4.5 page paper: Summarize the patient population (age, gender, ethnicity or race, medical condition or diagnosis) that the case study features. Describe the discipline of medical social work that you chose. Explain the primary roles and responsibilities of a social worker in the discipline that you chose. Devise an interdisciplinary team in the discipline you chose for the patient in the assigned case study. Define the roles of other members of the interdisciplinary health care team in that discipline. Explain how you might collaborate with the members of the health care team. Explain the essential values that are common to the members of an interdisciplinary team to patient care. Describe the challenges you might encounter while working with an interdisciplinary health care team. Then, explain strategies you would employ to address the challenges. Explain how the challenges you identified might negatively affect the patient and the patient’s family in the assigned case study. Finally, explain how you might work with the patient, the patient’s family, and other stakeholders in providing optimal health care. Cite your response using external scholarly resources. Provide examples of resources the social worker might use .

Social work is an integral component of the U.S. health care system. The emergence of professional social work in Indian hospitals is a attributed to Bhore committee who recommended training and placement of hospital social workers.

Week 9 Assignment Continue on with building your final application due in week 10. You will submit one cogent paper that combines the previous two applications (Parts One and Two) from weeks 4 and 7, plus the new material mentioned in the week 8 application Application: Developing a Health Advocacy Campaign To be an effective advocate and to develop a successful health advocacy campaign, you must have a clear idea of the goals of your campaign program and be able to communicate those goals to others. In addition, it is the nature of nurses to want to help, but it is important to make sure that the vision you develop is manageable in size and scope. By researching what others have done, you will better appreciate what can realistically be accomplished. It is also wise to determine if others have similar goals and to work with these people to form strategic partnerships. If you begin your planning with a strong idea of your resources, assets, and capabilities, you will be much more likely to succeed and truly make a difference with those you hope to help. You will develop a 10- to 12-page paper that outlines a health advocacy campaign designed to promote policies to improve the health of a population of your choice. This week, you will establish the framework for your campaign by identifying a population health concern of interest to you. You will then provide an overview of how you would approach advocating for this issue. -In Week 9, you will consider legal and regulatory factors that have an impact on the issue and finally, in Week 10, you will identify ethical concerns that you could face as an advocate. Specific details for each aspect of this paper are provided each week. This paper will serve as the Portfolio Application for the course. Before you begin, review the complete Assignment. This week, begin developing your health advocacy campaign by focusing on the following: Week 10 Application To prepare for this final portion of your paper: · Review provisions 7, 8, and 9 of the ANA Code of Ethics in relation to advocacy for population health. · Reflect on the ethical considerations you may need to take into account in your advocacy campaign. · Research the ethical considerations and lobbying laws relevant to the location where your advocacy campaign will occur. · Consider potential ethical dilemmas you might face in your campaign.

are necessary for social program credibility. Similar organizations have evolved in other countries. With these exemplars, the wonder is why schools of social work have not developed comparable research capacity at the state and metro- politan level. In sum, Gray, Plath, and Webb have presented an important book for critiquing the generation and application of data in social work. The book addresses major epistemological issues, and the overview of the globalization of EBP is impressively detailed. The shortcoming of Evidence-Based Social Work is that it fails to seize the opportunities implicit in the empirical project. Thus, the authors conclude that EBP ‘‘may well be replicating some of the most pernicious effect of ‘technological reasoning’ in advanced capitalist societies’’ (p. 189). Doubt- less, there is a downside to all institutional configurations: tech- nology, economy, polity, education, and the like; at the same time empiricism has been an important source of social reform. In the midst of the worst recession since the Great Depression, skepticism about empiricism may be current among university- based intellectuals, but among those attempting to ameliorate the rapidly deteriorating circumstances of people worldwide, it remains the common denominator for addressing social and economic injustice. Social work could play a larger role, in that effort if it were more engaged in generating useful evidence. In that respect, less rhetoric and more data, please.

The existing precedence of many healthcare facilities is to reduce readmissions using post-discharge follow-up practices. The definitive objective of health care providers is to deliver high-quality health care services to patients using transitional care models. The methodologies encourage the use of appropriate outpatient follow-up appointments implemented through Medicare incentives to promote the reduction in hospital readmissions (Adib-Hajbaghery, Maghaminejad & Abbasi, 2013). Comment by Editor: Setting of margins required Many of the researchers analyzing the outcome of follow-up on outpatients in reducing hospital readmissions majors on particular illnesses in a state; hence it is shallow. The review indicates that outpatient follow-ups decrease sickle cell anemia, pediatric asthma, and heart failure patient readmission (Hasan et al., 2010; Alper, 2017). However, there is an indication of mixed results obtained from examinations on hospitalized individuals. One study carried out by the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission demonstrated that there is no relationship between the timing of outpatient follow-up, and 30-day readmission rate in discharged patients from medical facilities (Ferrandino et al., 2017). Statement of the Problem According to Ferrandino et al. (2017), the readmission of roughly a half of the Medicaid receivers countrywide is within 30 days of discharge, and they fail to get a follow-up on outpatient before readmission. Equally, patients readmitted for chronic illnesses recorded a decrease in outpatient follow-up. It implies that the use of timely follow-ups to decrease the rates of readmi.

The stated goal of the audit is to provide the citizens of the city with assurance that the city’s resources are being managed in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations. The information presented in this audit report was compiled from data found in public records, transaction and management databases used by municipal software applications, and personal interviews of city employees. The data was reviewed for consistency and compliance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles for state and local governments. Analysis of the data was then conducted to determine where opportunities for improved efficiencies exist. The result of the audit can be found below. It includes specific findings by city department, supporting tables, and general recommendations.City Departments Public Safety (Police and Fire) The analysis of the personnel expenditures of both public safety agencies found that overall costs can be reduced by hiring additional police officers and firefighters. Calculations to support this conclusion can be found in Table 1 below. The current spending on overtime warrants the net addition of two police officers and one firefighter in fiscal year 2019. The population growth of the city is noted, and as such, additional hires should be anticipated in each of the following two years. The hires required to maintain proper personnel levels in the police force and fire department will be financially covered by the expected increase in city tax revenue commensurate with the population growth. Utilities The acquisition of smart electricity meters has continued at a steady pace throughout 2018. We observed delays in the installation and proper configuration of the smart meters, which causes unnecessary inconvenience for citizens. The city personnel tasked with the implementation of the smart meters has not received sufficient training to complete the project within the allotted time frame. The utility department should organize additional training sessions for the two supervisors so that they may in turn train their employees. This training is to focus on efficient installation of the meters and connection of the meters to the central utility computer system. Until such training is completed, it is not advisable to continue installation of the new meters to avoid disruptions and costly rework. Waste Management The Waste Management Department has not made any plans to address the city’s landfill capacity. The landfill is expected to reach its designed capacity in Q2, 2020. Several.

David is passed over for promotion three times. He is quite vocal in his dissatisfaction with this situation. In fact, he begins to express negative opinions about the organization in general. Eventually, David quits and begins his own consulting business. Six months after David’s departure, it is discovered that a good deal of the ABC Company’s research has suddenly been duplicated by a competitor. Executives at ABC suspect that David Doe has done some consulting work for this competitor and may have passed on sensitive data. However, in the interim since David left, his computer has been formatted and reassigned to another person. ABC has no evidence that David Doe did anything wrong. What steps might have been taken to detect David’s alleged industrial espionage? What steps might have been taken to prevent his perpetrating such an offense? .
