The Next Steps to Improving Home Health Care for Children with Medical Comple...LucilePackardFoundation
This briefing on family needs for home health care and potential workforce and policy solutions featuring the perspectives of a parent advocate, a home health care administrator, a pediatrician, and a state official.
Setting the stage: Why focus on chronic conditionsDonald Nease
Given as the opening plenary to the 2015 Wisconsin Research and Education Network (WREN) Convocation. Describes burden of chronic illness from cost and patient perspectives and what a PBRN can do to address these.
Patients and their families are given a multitude of information about their health and commonly must make important decisions from these facts. Obstacles that prevent easy delivery of health care information include literacy, culture, language, and physiological barriers. It is up to the nurse to assess and evaluate the patient's learning needs and readiness to learn because everyone learns differently.
Health Care Opportunities and Threats: Addressing Health disparities in Minority communities
Health care is a cultural and social construct. It is critical that professionals continue to discuss and better understand the consequences of increasing health disparities among minorities. There still remains a severe health care staffing shortage and minorities continue to be under represented in key healthcare specialty areas. Further, communities across the country continue to report disparities in accessing quality care and treatment that is culturally sensitive and competent. Join us as we explore cultural and social healthcare challenges, examine the impact of healthcare reform, identify career and corporate opportunities, and share organizations that have been successful in making a difference in improving healthcare outcomes.
Learning Outcomes: Increase awareness and knowledge of healthcare reform, disparities, and other related healthcare challenges
At the end of this seminar, participants will be able to:
a) Explore social and cultural healthcare challenges
b) Identify career and corporate opportunities
c) Connect with leaders and managers engaged in healthcare reform
d) Examine organizational contributions and responsibilities in addressing healthcare disparities

Person Centered Care through Integrating a Palliative Approach: Lessons from ...BCCPA
Aging adults are entering residential care facilities with more advanced disease than in the past and their length of stay is shorter. Most health care providers in these facilities do not receive targeted education and training in palliative care, nor are they confident to have crucial conversations about goals of care and end of life challenges with residents and their families. Due to limited capacity to manage predictable symptoms related to end of life and insufficient planning, many residents are transferred to hospital in crisis and die in the Emergency Department or acute care wards.
This presentation will showcase some of the initiatives by identifying common themes, unique features of each and strategies for success. Opportunity will be given for delegates to ask questions and brainstorm how lessons learned from these initiatives could inform the care provided at their own facility.

Overview
Write a 3-4 page evidence-based health care delivery plan for one component of a heart failure clinic.
Nursing within an organization is a critical component of health care delivery and is an essential ingredient in patient outcomes (Kelly & Tazbir, 2014). The concern for quality care that flows from evidence-based practice generates a desired outcome. Without these factors, a nurse cannot be an effective leader. It is important to lead not only from this position but from knowledge and expertise.
By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:
•Competency 2: Explain the accountability of the nurse leader for decisions that affect health care delivery and patient outcomes. ◦Describe accountability tools and procedures used to measure effectiveness.
•Competency 3: Apply management strategies and best practices for health care finance, human resources, and materials allocation decisions to improve health care delivery and patient outcomes. ◦Develop an evidence-based plan for health care delivery.
•Competency 4: Apply professional standards of moral, ethical, and legal conduct in professional practice. ◦Apply professional and legal standards in support of a care plan.
•Competency 5: Communicate in manner that is consistent with the expectations of a nursing professional. ◦Write content clearly and logically, with correct use of grammar, punctuation, and mechanics.
◦Correctly format citations and references using current APA style.

Context
In an effort to improve the patients' health literacy concerning heart failure, it is important that the clinic staff and the hospital staff present a consistent, evidence-based message on self-care to these patients and their families in order to decrease acute exacerbation and re-admissions. Review current evidence for clinical practice guides or protocols when developing your patient teaching plans and materials. Consider the following:
•What does the patient know about the disease process as a baseline?
•What does the patient need to do understand as far as the best self-care processes?
•Can the patient identify proper medication compliance?
•Is there a financial issue that affects compliance?
•Who buys and prepares the food in the home?
•Can the patient verbalize when to seek medical assistance?
Questions to Consider
To deepen your understanding, you are encouraged to consider the questions below and discuss them with a fellow learner, a work associate, an interested friend, or a member of your professional community.
•What factors contribute to inadequate quality of care?
•How effective are organizational mandates for quality?
•How do financial concerns impact health and safety goals?

The purpose of this Health Policy Study is to better understand adolescents’ views on what are considered core components of the medical home and identify barriers to promoting adolescent health in relation to the medical home.
In addition, this study sought to better understand the needs and challenges in providing adolescents with access to medical homes—from the perspective of both adolescents and experts in adolescent health and medical home policy. To accomplish these goals, researchers conducted focus groups with adolescents, presented these findings to experts, and gathered experts’ reactions to the adolescents’ perspectives. This report includes a detailed description of the methods used for this study, followed by a summary of key focus group findings and the expert reactions to these findings.
We will cover the topic of Palliative Care – specialized medical care for people with serious illnesses. It focuses on providing patients with relief from the symptoms and stress of a serious illness. The goal is to improve quality of life for both the patient and the family.

Planning Your Visit - School Nutrition
School health and nutrition and reducing childhood obesity call for crucial attention for the health, wellbeing, growth, and development for school aged children. Changes must be made to assist schools to implement and improve on educating children on the importance of eating healthy and increasing daily physical activity. The purpose of this paper and this writer’s priority issue is to provide healthier food options on school menus for children by discussing the importance of a dietitian and their role of implementing these healthy options. In addition, recommending assisting meal programs and school gardening. The overall focus is to improve children’s diet and increase healthier lifestyle by decreasing the rate of childhood obesity.
Key Strategies
As a nurse, nutrition is an important topic to advocate. Childhood obesity is a serious problem in the United States putting children at risk for poor health and serious health conditions (Weicheselbaum, Buttriss, 2014). According to the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (2017), about 1 in 6 (17%) of children in the United States are considered overweight or are considered obese. This writer’s purpose is to advocate and implement healthy lifestyles modifications starting at a young age. These concerns will be addressed by contacting the State House Representative, Shevrin D. “Shev” Jones.
The first step in planning the visit was conducting research and gathering contact information on local schools in the community, a dietitian, and a local policy maker or legislator who seems to express the same concerns to implement healthier nutrition in schools. A detailed email outlining the current status, an overview of the plan with potential benefits or outcomes, as well as potential drawbacks and costs was sent to Shevrin D. “Shev” Jones. The principal of Pembroke Pines Charter Elementary School, Michael Castellano, the director of dining services of Chartwells, Javier Diaz, would also be contacted. After two days, a telephone call was placed and a meeting was set up with Shevrin D. “Shev” Jones. Prior to placing a telephone call and prior to the meeting, this writer prepared the night before for the meeting conversation and possible questions that may arise. Upon meeting with Shevrin D. “Shev” Jones, this writer introduced herself, gave a concise background of the years of experience in the healthcare field, and expressed how important healthy living is. The conversation then started by mentioning that this writer wants to make a policy change of changing school nutrition by including healthier options for children to chose from. In doing so, hiring a dietitian, recommending providing assisting meal programs and school gardening were suggested solutions. Facts were given about how serious childhood obesity is and the health problems associated with this condition, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, cardiovasc.

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

Editor's Notes
Transitional care for the heart failure population refers to the specific individual or programmatic interventions that designed to improve the shifts from hospital. Most of these shifts occur from hospital to home but can also be between healthcare facilitities. Heart failure with increasing prevalence, costs to the healthcare system, are a focus of transitional care work for most hospitals. Transitional care requires both communication and care coordination for success.
