An experience with new technology and better ways of dealing with burn cases, treatment is quite fast and easy! Unlike the traditional way of airway maintenance, the new way that follows the ATLS guidelines enables the nurse to have a definitive airway maintenance as well as ventilation monitoring.
Extraprofessional collaboration
The burn unit required a great deal of collaboration between different medical practitioners in order to achieve quick recovery and optimum treatment results. With the airway and c-spine protection, monitoring the heart rate and blood pressure would require different physicians to acquire optimum results.
Health care delivery and clinical systems
With the Airway with C-spine Protection, different procedures and systems collaborate together to produce the best treatment results. Assessment of breathing, circulation, disability and exposure worked well with the clinical system each stage was important in contributing to the greater good.
Ethical considerations in health care
When it comes to Airway with C-spine Protection, Improving access to care, Protecting patient privacy and confidentiality are paramount. Building and maintaining strong health care workforce, Marketing practices and Care quality helps the unit achieve quality care.
Population health concerns
In the Airway with C-spine Protection, the section has the mandate of providing quality and convenient care. These help to improve the workability of the hospital system in general.
The role of technology in improving health care outcomes
When accessing the Airway with C-spine Protection, use of technology proved to be important especially when inspecting for singed nasal, facial and eyebrow hairs.
Health policy
Definitely, health policies serve as important ways through which the burn unit could provide quality healthcare. I did notice this when it comes to ensuring that each patient gets the most out of treatment they undergo.
Leadership and economic models
At the burn unit, it is almost blatant that leaders are responsible and are economical in their decision making. This is evident by the efficient allocation of resources.

Patient Safety Culture in hospitals.
Introduction.
Patient safety is an issue of global public health concern. It refers to preventing patients from harm by implementing a care system that contains errors and learns from medical errors to build a safety culture involving healthcare workers, patients, and healthcare organizations. The safety of patients is critical in care quality. Many patients worldwide have suffered injuries, disabilities, and death due to medical errors or unsafe care. Patient safety culture can be defined as healthcare organizations' values about what is essential and how to operate to protect patients. To achieve a safe culture, organizations and their members must understand the values, norms, and beliefs about essential and attitudes and behaviors related to patient safety (Ali et al., 2018).
To achieve a culture of safety, organizations should emphasize addressing disparities in the quality of care because the current challenges may worsen the efforts to narrow the gap. The key issues in establishing and providing accessible, responsive, and effective health systems are quality and safety. Poor quality and unsafe patient care increase mortality and morbidity rates throughout the world. About 75% of the healthcare delivery gaps are preventable, and approximately 10% of inpatient admission result from preventable patient harm (Amiri et al., 2018).
Patient safety cultures with strong collaboration and leadership drive and prioritize safety (Wu et al., 2019). Strong leadership and commitment from manger are essential because their attitudes and actions influence the wider workforce's behaviors, perceptions, and attitudes. The other important aspects of patient safety culture include; effective communication, mutual trust, shared views on the importance of patient safety, engaging the healthcare workforce, acknowledging mistakes, and having a system that recognizes, responds, and gives feedback on adverse events (Alquwez et al., 2018). Patient safety culture is influenced by burnouts, hospital characteristics, communication, position, work area, commitment to the patient safety program, leadership, and patient safety resources and management.
Thesis statement.
Patient safety culture focuses on safety in health care by emphasizing the prevention, reporting, and investigation of medical errors that may cause patients' adverse effects, thus reducing harm by implementing necessary measures. Several factors are affecting the culture of patient safety in hospitals. This paper highlights patient safety culture and the factors affecting patient safety culture in public hospitals.

Describe how the concepts of leadership and management differ from e.pdfarihantgiftgallery
Describe how the concepts of leadership and management differ from each other. In what areas
do they overlap? Explain how the goals of management and leadership may sometimes overlap.
As a nurse leader, do you believe you can expand your influence to create change by taking
advantage of this overlap? Explain your answer.
Solution
Answer:
Nursing leadership: it is the method of creating a specific method of change followed by
establishing a direction to align patients for their empowerment in getting good health using clear
vision and motivation
Nursing management: it differs from the leadership competencies & management is mainly
associated with regulating order and consistency in implementing budget, staffing protocols
finally solving complexity of the situation when implementing an ethical based decision
The management & leadership goals of nurses in healthcare sector may overlap sometimes with
respect to nursing education, patient oriented communication-collaboration with other health
agencies, informatics design & information technology to encourage quality health care and
safety, intensive –based, evidence –based nursing policy, culture that foster regional and local
partnerships for nursing education, clinical research. Both leadership & management of nursing
skills initiative have specific impact on clinical nursing practice, for example, when conducting
clinical public health research, informatics & technology based electronic system useful to
record patient health previous health data including familial genetic –inherited disease
information. This type of information –based and evidence- based nursing practice promote
efficient health care delivery to the public. The innovative methods of initiative is mainly useful
early prevention of communicable chronic illness by identifying particular disease causing
organisms therefore \"major overlapping between leadership competency & management in
nursing\" can act as an initiative to deliver good patient outcomes. The advantage of this overlap
is going to enable identification of communicable diseases in the communities caused by
microbial species finally implementing other preventive approaches of the chronic illness include
that initial screening, predisposition of the disease an also its growth and development (example
Polio). Finally, the patients result in reduced death rate (low mortality) and we can reduce the
disease propagation in the communities by alerting the people with this disease..

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

patients, develop care plans, administer medications, perform
procedures, educate patients and their families, and advocate for their
rights and needs.

patient rights and privacy. By prioritizing patient safety, nurses uphold
the ethical principles of their profession and maintain trust with their
patients.

complex situations. Nurses must uphold ethical principles, advocate for
patients' rights, and collaborate with interdisciplinary teams to ensure
ethical care delivery.

Interprofessional collaboration ensures holistic care, reduces errors,
and enhances patient outcomes. Nurses need to actively participate in
interdisciplinary teams, share information, and contribute their unique
expertise to achieve optimal patient-centered care.
