1. Advocating for the Nursing Role in Program Design and Implementation
Advocating for the Nursing Role in Program Design and ImplementationThe nursing
program for medical quality and cost-effectiveness of home-based nurse-led health
improvement for the elderly has become a successful healthcare program that has
decreased mortality for the elderly persons. The program seeks to provide a beneficial
impact on the health and meaningful role of elderly adults and to support their independent
mode of operation (Szanton et al., 2016). Home-based healthcare services given not only
granted effective healthcare to the aged but also ensured cost-efficiency regarding money
spent on home-based care or hospital admission. Home-based care services ensure value-
for-money as only the medical services are billed with no addition of admission and other
considerations that sum contribute to a bigger bill in providing the aged with healthcare

PLAGIARISM-FREE PAPER HEREWho is your target population?My target population for
this study includes elderly adults aged between 65 years and over. This is due to the reason
that they are the best group who should be given regular home-based nursing services to
ensure their good health and potentially enhance their life expectancy. Numerous proofs for
the efficacy of nursing care programs have been established. They entail a reduction in
death levels, injury, and possible emerging lifelong health conditions.What is the role of the
nurse in providing input for the design of this healthcare program? Can you provide
examples?A home care nurse has different functions that require to be fulfilled in order to
ensure reliable health care provision. A nurse is required to assess the patients' conditions
through monitoring their vitals and design the best health-driven judgment before
providing the best clinical care choice they deem suitable for the conditions they are to
handle (Szanton et al., 2016). Home care nurses are responsible for handling and
prescribing medications to patients that are of elderly age. For instance, they are entrusted
with the task of checking the bedridden patients for pressure sores and if their muscles
have become feeble. He or she takes records of the observations taken in each consultation
and presents them to the physician of the patient.What is your role as an advocate for your
target population for this healthcare program? Do you have input into design decisions?
How else do you impact design?As an advocate for elderly patients seeking care, my
participation in design decisions is significant because finding the best solutions to best-
provided healthcare is my strong point. Through putting the designs to me, it would be
convenient to adjust strategies that won't be successful and give the right guidance about
creating innovative solutions that can be both efficient and cost-effective when providing

Program Design and Implementation.What is the role of the nurse in healthcare program
implementation? How does this role vary between design and implementation of healthcare
programs? Can you provide examples?The nurse's role in the implementation of the
healthcare program involves the collection of information demonstrating the necessity for a
program under execution (Smolowitz et al., 2015). For instance, nurses communicate with
their patients and answer questions regarding the conditions which the elderly have. By
recognizing this, nurses will assess the program's efficacy for improving healthcare and
assist in shaping the program's reliability and safety measure. These roles differ
from design and implementation as numerous stakeholders from various healthcare sectors
take part in the design process. However, in implementation, those on the ground providing
healthcare, particularly nurses, are involved.Who are the members of a healthcare team that
you believe are most needed to implement a program? Can you explain why?ORDER A
PLAGIARISM-FREE PAPER HERENurses, physicians, managers, and policymakers of the
healthcare organization are the most significant participants in the design and
implementation of a healthcare program. The reason behind this is that all issues tackled
impact their role and the result of healthcare provided to patients. Through their
involvement, seeking the right approaches to healthcare problems emerging from their field
and how to fix them would be easier (Smolowitz et al., 2015) Advocating for the Nursing

and ImplementationAssignment: Advocating for the Nursing Role in Program Design and
Implementation As their names imply, the honeyguide bird and the honey badger both
share an affinity for honey. Honeyguide birds specialize in finding beehives but struggle to
access the honey within. Honey badgers are well-equipped to raid beehives but cannot
always find them. However, these two honey-loving species have learned to collaborate on
an effective means to meet their objectives. The honeyguide bird guides honey badgers to
newly discovered hives. Once the honey badger has ransacked the hive, the honey guide
bird safely enters to enjoy the leftover honey. Much like honeyguide birds and honey
badgers, nurses and health professionals from other specialty areas can—and should—
collaborate to design effective programs. Nurses bring specialties to the table that make
them natural partners to professionals with different specialties. When nurses take the
requisite leadership in becoming involved throughout the healthcare system, these
partnerships can better design and deliver highly effective programs that meet objectives.
In this Assignment, you will practice this type of leadership by advocating for a healthcare
program. Equally as important, you will advocate for a collaborative role of the nurse in the
design and implementation of this program. To do this, assume you are preparing to be

3. interviewed by a professional organization/publication regarding your thoughts on the role
of the nurse in the design and implementation of new healthcare programs. To Prepare:
Review the Resources and reflect on your thinking regarding the role of the nurse in the
design and implementation of new healthcare programs. Select a healthcare program within
your practice and consider the design and implementation of this program. Reflect on
advocacy efforts and the role of the nurse in relation to healthcare program design and
implementation. The Assignment: (2–4 pages) In a 2- to 4-page paper, create an interview
transcript of your responses to the following interview questions: Tell us about a healthcare
program, within your practice. What are the costs and projected outcomes of this program?
Who is your target population? What is the role of the nurse in providing input for the
design of this healthcare program? Can you provide examples? What is your role as an
advocate for your target population for this healthcare program? Do you have input into
design decisions? How else do you impact design? What is the role of the nurse in
healthcare program implementation? How does this role vary between design and
implementation of healthcare programs? Can you provide examples? Who are the members
of a healthcare team that you believe are most needed to implement a program? Can you
explain why? The name of the program i am currently in is Adult-Gerontology Acute care
