Assessment 4 Instructions: Lobbying for Change
Top of Form
Bottom of Form
Write a letter to an official in your state or local government. (Choose the individual in the level of government that will best address your issue). The purpose of this letter is to advocate for action with regards to your chosen health care environment issue.
Introduction
Note: Each assessment in this course builds upon the work you have completed in previous assessments. Therefore, you must complete the assessments in the order in which they are presented.
As health care leaders, it is important to understand strategies for advocating and lobbying elected officials. This can lead to the development of policies or laws that can help drive improved equity and outcomes for all participants in the health care environment as well as a more sustainable financial future.
Background and Context
As a master's-level health care practitioner, you may be expected to implement plans to ensure that initiatives designed to take advantage of economic opportunities for the organization are rolled out successfully and can be sustained over multiple years. Additionally, it is important to be able to envision how an initiative could be implemented in different contexts and for different purposes to ensure the investment remains a viable and positive asset to your organization or care setting.
As a master's-level practitioner, you will often be challenged to influence the health care environment in a variety of ways. This influence can occur on a micro-level (implementing change on your unit, institution, community, or local organizations) or at a macro level (implementing change via state or federal regulations and policy). One way you can influence the health care environment is by lobbying an elected official at the local, state, or national level to adopt policies or legislation that would support positive economic and health outcomes for patients, practitioners, and organizations within the health care environment.
Instructions
For this assessment, you will develop a letter to an official in your state or local government (choose the individual in the level of government that will best address your issue). The purpose of this letter is to advocate for action with regards to your chosen health care environment issue. Remember, when writing the letter, you must use your personal address and telephone number unless you are exclusively representing a group or your organization.
Be sure to address each main point. Review the assessment instructions and scoring guide, including performance-level descriptions for each criterion, to ensure you understand the work you will be asked to complete and how it will be assessed. In addition, note the requirements for document format and length and for supporting evidence.
Overall, your assessment submission will be assessed on the following criteria:

Assessment 1 ContextHealth Care Economics: An Industry Overview
Providers and consumers of health care services have experienced significant changes following the enactment of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (Affordable Care Act). New terminology, concepts, methods of valuation, reimbursement, and decisions accompanied this landmark legislative change. Health care leaders are responsible for maintaining the financial viability of their organizations, aligning with both the organizational mission statement and directional strategy, and allocating finite resources. This task has become increasingly complex due in part to changes associated with the Affordable Care Act.
Conditions of participation in state- and federally-funded health care programs have generated new requirements, and some represent major challenges with respect to implementation and compliance. An example of this can be seen with the electronic medical records initiative, which has been an ongoing challenge. Leaders must grapple with questions such as:
· What is the actual cost to the organization?
· Are there funding shortfalls for full implementation?
· Are there unexpected additional costs that result from existing software incompatibilities?
· Are there additional security measures to ensure HIPAA compliance, such as staff training?
· What about patient satisfaction scores and how these can affect reimbursement?
The role of the health care executive in exercising sound economic decision making has become increasingly challenging, especially when one considers the potential adverse financial and operational consequences, or civil and criminal penalties, that can result from oversights or errors. Health care executives serve in a fiduciary role within their organizations and communities. To this end, it is helpful for leaders to understand applicable laws that drive economic decision making and its accepted tools from authoritative sources, industry standards, and risk management.
The Provider Organization
How have recent changes in health care affected your current or future desired role within the industry? Do you recognize new concepts and terminology emerging with our changing health care system? To illustrate this point, consider your familiarity with the following economic concepts and their associated implications for providers: accountable care organizations, Readmissions Reduction Program, HCAHPS scores, HAC Reduction Program, never events, value based purchasing, open payments public data, cost shifting, risk sharing, and medical capital equipment (lease versus purchase). These are just a few examples of facets that involve financial, and thus economic, decision making.
It is important to maintain the environmental, larger perspective and to understand what resources are available from the government for economic problem solving and decision making. It is also important to maintain "bifocal vision" as ...
Whether a health care policy was formulated at the federal (country).docx
Whether a health care policy was formulated at the federal (country); state (providence or regional); or local level, policies inevitably have considerable impact on local health care organizations, communities, and relevant stakeholders. In other words, a health care policy that has far-reaching relevance to the nation, state, or region ultimately impacts the grassroots interests and concerns of the community.
To complete the Assignment, select a recent (within the last 5 years) health care policy that has had substantial impact on consumers. In particular, look at a high-impact health care policy to analyze the diverse and divergent perspectives that informed its development and then assess its impact at the local organizational level.
Detailed and current information on health care policy may be found on many websites, including the following:
American Hospital Association (AHA)
Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS)
The Kaiser Family Foundation
Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF)
American Public Health Association (APHA)
American Association of Retired Persons (AARP)
After choosing a health care policy, select a local health care organization that is impacted by that policy. This might be a public agency, a health care facility, or any organization substantially influenced by the policy. It also might be the health care organization in which you work. As an administrator in this organization, you have been tasked with preparing an assessment of the impact of the policy on the organization’s operations and outcomes. This task requires you to take a large and complex topic (the policy) and synthesize it into digestible information that organizational stakeholders can strategically use to address issues raised by the policy.
For
Part 1
of this assessment, you will create a PowerPoint presentation that explains key points related to the health care policy you selected. This presentation is designed to inform and precede the dissemination of an in-depth policy assessment regarding the impact of the policy on the organization.
For
Part 2,
you will write an in-depth policy assessment that synthesizes the impact of the health care policy on the organization.
Part 1: PowerPoint Presentation: Key Points of a Health Care Policy
Succinct but accurate dissemination of information is often a key responsibility of a health care administrator, and understanding current changes in health care policy is an important need for many stakeholders within an organization.
For this Assignment, assume the role of a health care administrator and create a PowerPoint presentation to provide stakeholders within the organization foundational information about the policy you selected. In particular, focus on the formulation of the policy and the diverse perspectives of those who had a role in its development. As noted previously, this presentation is designed to inform the subsequent policy assessment you will distribute.

Introduction
Health care is one of the most heavily regulated major industries in the United States. Leaders are challenged to stay current and to comply with federal, state, and local laws and their associated regulations. Health care organizations are also responsible to meet industry standards. In some cases, payers equate meeting industry standards with achieving and maintaining accreditation. In fact, many payers consider accreditation a minimum condition of participation. In addition, individual licensure and certification requirements establish basic expectations for health care leaders' professional conduct.
In summary, health care leaders are responsible to:
1. Meet ethical personal, professional conduct, certification, and licensure expectations.
2. Comply with local, state, and federal health care and human resources laws.
3. Provide evidence of compliance with existing regulations and scan the field for emerging regulations.
4. Identify and meet appropriate accrediting body standards (for example, Joint Commission’s National Patient Safety Goals standards).
As an individual’s health care leadership career advances, so does the corresponding level of accountability. Not knowing the laws or regulations is not an excuse for not complying with them.
This assessment allows you to demonstrate your knowledge of and skills relating to compliance concepts, and governmental and regulatory agencies that oversee health care service delivery, billing, and general operations. You will also have the opportunity to apply the components necessary to initiate and maintain an effective compliance program. Finally, you will consider relevant human resources laws that may pertain to your compliance recommendations.

IHP 610 Final Project Guidelines and Rubric Overview
IHP 610 Final Project Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
Healthcare is a field dominated by complex regulation, limited resources, highly charged debates, changing reimbursement, expensive education barriers to
entry, and knowledge imbalances. Healthcare decision-makers often have to review information about an issue, analyze the applicable law, and make a decision.
Those decisions are often not founded on clearly right or clearly wrong “answers.” Nonetheless, after decision makers conduct or review a policy analysis and a
legal analysis and arrive at a conclusion, they must be able to support and defend that decision. Stakeholder values are often in conflict; decision makers working
in the field of healthcare and health law have many opportunities to defend their decisions!
The final project for this course will give you an opportunity to build policy and legal analysis skills. You will choose from one of three issue prompts at the
beginning of the course. Throughout the course, you will draft a memo containing an overview and analysis of your selected issue, as well as a series of
recommendations for a healthcare executive. You will experience some of the challenges of reconciling competing values, demands for resources, and
organizational needs. Each issue prompt is based on “real world” scenarios, so take this opportunity to practice developing health law and policy analysis skills.
This final project addresses your mastery with regard to the following course outcomes:
Assess the impact of stakeholder needs on decision making for ensuring effective implementation of health law and policy
Assess the impact of current healthcare laws, policies, and financing practices on affected key stakeholders for informing policy recommendations
Determine the extent to which legal risks and potential malpractice issues influence policy decision making
Recommend appropriate strategies for resolving value conflicts among key healthcare stakeholders
Analyze the role of key stakeholders in shaping, implementing, and evaluating health law and policy for improving population health outcomes
Prompt
You will write a policy memorandum, with recommendations, paper in which you will analyze a health law and policy issue and make a series of
recommendations to a healthcare executive. At the beginning of this course, you chose one of three issue scenarios. Now, you will create each section of the
policy memorandum using the tools and strategies you developed in this course. You have developed those tools and strategies in a stepwise fashion in each
module. Remember that the purpose of the policy memorandum is to analyze the issue scenario, make thoughtful arguments about the issue, and make
recommendations based on your analysis.
Your policy memorandum with recommendations paper must contain the following critical elements. Most of the critical elements align with a particular course
outcome (shown in brackets).

§ 6.01 IntroductionBackground checks are an important component .docx
§ 6.01 Introduction
Background checks are an important component of an effective compliance program under the United States Sentencing Guidelines Manual, § 8B2.1(b)(3) (2011). If the personnel involved in promulgating the compliance program are known as people of integrity then the compliance program will be perceived as the result of a sincere effort to create a culture of ethics within the corporation.
Since the integrity of the senior management, compliance officer, and the compliance office personnel is critical to the effectiveness of the compliance program, enhanced background checks need to be conducted on all personnel who are involved in the conduct and dissemination of the compliance program.
__________
Timing:
These background checks should be conducted at the time of employment, promotion, salary increase or change of position to a compliance related function.
__________
Typically, conducting background checks on certain prospective employees can be an important part of the employee selection process for any company.
__________
Timing:
Background checks may also be advisable for employees considered for promotion or transfer into managerial or sensitive positions, or those positions which involve unsupervised employee contact with customers.
__________
__________
Strategic Point:
This practice should be reinforced throughout the company in hiring all employees since every employee is involved in promoting and participating in the compliance program.
__________
§ 6.02 Steps Involved in the Background Check Process
__________Trap:Strategic Point:
While seemingly straightforward, the steps required to conduct a legal background check are full of traps for the unwary. As a matter of federal law (and the law of many states), the process involves the following steps:
· 1.Obtain written consent for a background check from the applicant or employee;
· 2.Obtain and analyze the results of the background check;
· 3.Provide a copy of the background check to the applicant (if the results are relevant to the selection process) along with a written statement of rights and request a response;
· 4.Provide the applicant with an opportunity to respond with written comments to the background check results;
· 5.Consider the applicant’s written comments and the background check results in making a final determination as to whether the applicant will be hired, promoted, or transferred, and;
· 6.Provide the applicant with written notice (if the background check results are relevant to the selection process) of the fact that the background check results played a part in the selection process and that the applicant was not selected as a result.
__________
__________Warning:
These steps are more than just a set of best practices, they are designed to help an employer fully comply with the requirements of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Failing to follow one or more of these steps when using background checks for employment decisions can leave a c.

[Martinez Family]
General Background:
The Martinez family consists of Miguel, Jeannette, Gabby, Tommy, and Christina
(the adopted daughter of Jeannette’s cousin).
The family’s ethnicity is Hispanic, and both Miguel and Jeannette come from very
large extended families—many of whom live in the area.
They are Seventh-Day Adventists who are very involved in their church; they
both hold leadership positions in the church and attend services multiple times
each week.
Presenting Issues:
© 2013 Laureate Education, Inc. 2
Jeannette has brought Gabby (now 16) in to see you.
You meet with mother and daughter together, but Gabby does not speak.
Jeannette is angry and yelling at Gabby, despite your requests for her to please
calm down, take a deep breath, and speak more calmly.
Jeannette tells you that her daughter is a “slut.” She has found out that Gabby
has been having sex, which “goes against everything [they] taught her.”
Jeannette adds that Gabby now cannot get married in their church because she
is “damaged goods.” She states that she is horrified by her daughter’s behavior
and ashamed of her.
When you speak with Gabby alone, Gabby begins to cry, telling you that she
loves her boyfriend very much and doesn’t believe that having sex with him is
wrong. She tells you that the only thing that makes her sad is that her parents
“hate” her now, and she’s afraid that she’s “disappointed God.”
Gabby does admit to having lost her virginity at 14 under circumst.

Each one has the potential to affect each of us on a daily basis, so careful consideration must be given when policies are proposed. It is important to understand the process of how a topic eventually becomes a policy.
Choose a health care topic for which a policy might be formed.
*Note: be sure to look ahead and choose a policy topic that will be suitable for the second part of this assignment as well, due in Week Four.

NHS-FP6008 Assessment 1 Context
Assessment 1 ContextHealth Care Economics: An Industry Overview
Providers and consumers of health care services have experienced significant changes following the enactment of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (Affordable Care Act). New terminology, concepts, methods of valuation, reimbursement, and decisions accompanied this landmark legislative change. Health care leaders are responsible for maintaining the financial viability of their organizations, aligning with both the organizational mission statement and directional strategy, and allocating finite resources. This task has become increasingly complex due in part to changes associated with the Affordable Care Act.
Conditions of participation in state- and federally-funded health care programs have generated new requirements, and some represent major challenges with respect to implementation and compliance. An example of this can be seen with the electronic medical records initiative, which has been an ongoing challenge. Leaders must grapple with questions such as:
· What is the actual cost to the organization?
· Are there funding shortfalls for full implementation?
· Are there unexpected additional costs that result from existing software incompatibilities?
· Are there additional security measures to ensure HIPAA compliance, such as staff training?
· What about patient satisfaction scores and how these can affect reimbursement?
The role of the health care executive in exercising sound economic decision making has become increasingly challenging, especially when one considers the potential adverse financial and operational consequences, or civil and criminal penalties, that can result from oversights or errors. Health care executives serve in a fiduciary role within their organizations and communities. To this end, it is helpful for leaders to understand applicable laws that drive economic decision making and its accepted tools from authoritative sources, industry standards, and risk management.
The Provider Organization
How have recent changes in health care affected your current or future desired role within the industry? Do you recognize new concepts and terminology emerging with our changing health care system? To illustrate this point, consider your familiarity with the following economic concepts and their associated implications for providers: accountable care organizations, Readmissions Reduction Program, HCAHPS scores, HAC Reduction Program, never events, value based purchasing, open payments public data, cost shifting, risk sharing, and medical capital equipment (lease versus purchase). These are just a few examples of facets that involve financial, and thus economic, decision making.
It is important to maintain the environmental, larger perspective and to understand what resources are available from the government for economic problem solving and decision making. It is also important to maintain "bifocal vision" as ...
Whether a health care policy was formulated at the federal (country).docx
Whether a health care policy was formulated at the federal (country); state (providence or regional); or local level, policies inevitably have considerable impact on local health care organizations, communities, and relevant stakeholders. In other words, a health care policy that has far-reaching relevance to the nation, state, or region ultimately impacts the grassroots interests and concerns of the community.
To complete the Assignment, select a recent (within the last 5 years) health care policy that has had substantial impact on consumers. In particular, look at a high-impact health care policy to analyze the diverse and divergent perspectives that informed its development and then assess its impact at the local organizational level.
Detailed and current information on health care policy may be found on many websites, including the following:
American Hospital Association (AHA)
Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS)
The Kaiser Family Foundation
Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF)
American Public Health Association (APHA)
American Association of Retired Persons (AARP)
After choosing a health care policy, select a local health care organization that is impacted by that policy. This might be a public agency, a health care facility, or any organization substantially influenced by the policy. It also might be the health care organization in which you work. As an administrator in this organization, you have been tasked with preparing an assessment of the impact of the policy on the organization’s operations and outcomes. This task requires you to take a large and complex topic (the policy) and synthesize it into digestible information that organizational stakeholders can strategically use to address issues raised by the policy.
For
Part 1
of this assessment, you will create a PowerPoint presentation that explains key points related to the health care policy you selected. This presentation is designed to inform and precede the dissemination of an in-depth policy assessment regarding the impact of the policy on the organization.
For
Part 2,
you will write an in-depth policy assessment that synthesizes the impact of the health care policy on the organization.
Part 1: PowerPoint Presentation: Key Points of a Health Care Policy
Succinct but accurate dissemination of information is often a key responsibility of a health care administrator, and understanding current changes in health care policy is an important need for many stakeholders within an organization.
For this Assignment, assume the role of a health care administrator and create a PowerPoint presentation to provide stakeholders within the organization foundational information about the policy you selected. In particular, focus on the formulation of the policy and the diverse perspectives of those who had a role in its development. As noted previously, this presentation is designed to inform the subsequent policy assessment you will distribute.
In a 12- to 15-slide PowerPoint .
Prepare a workplace brief (8-10 double-spaced pages) to address a .docx
Prepare a workplace brief (8-10 double-spaced pages) to address a privacy breach that occurred in a health care organization. Include the consequences of failure to act and evidence-based recommendations for addressing the breach.
Introduction
Health care is one of the most heavily regulated major industries in the United States. Leaders are challenged to stay current and to comply with federal, state, and local laws and their associated regulations. Health care organizations are also responsible to meet industry standards. In some cases, payers equate meeting industry standards with achieving and maintaining accreditation. In fact, many payers consider accreditation a minimum condition of participation. In addition, individual licensure and certification requirements establish basic expectations for health care leaders' professional conduct.
In summary, health care leaders are responsible to:
1. Meet ethical personal, professional conduct, certification, and licensure expectations.
2. Comply with local, state, and federal health care and human resources laws.
3. Provide evidence of compliance with existing regulations and scan the field for emerging regulations.
4. Identify and meet appropriate accrediting body standards (for example, Joint Commission’s National Patient Safety Goals standards).
As an individual’s health care leadership career advances, so does the corresponding level of accountability. Not knowing the laws or regulations is not an excuse for not complying with them.
This assessment allows you to demonstrate your knowledge of and skills relating to compliance concepts, and governmental and regulatory agencies that oversee health care service delivery, billing, and general operations. You will also have the opportunity to apply the components necessary to initiate and maintain an effective compliance program. Finally, you will consider relevant human resources laws that may pertain to your compliance recommendations.
Instructions
In this assessment, you are assuming the role of an early careerist in risk management and quality improvement at one of Vila Health's community-based hospitals.

IHP 610 Final Project Guidelines and Rubric Overview
IHP 610 Final Project Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
Healthcare is a field dominated by complex regulation, limited resources, highly charged debates, changing reimbursement, expensive education barriers to
entry, and knowledge imbalances. Healthcare decision-makers often have to review information about an issue, analyze the applicable law, and make a decision.
Those decisions are often not founded on clearly right or clearly wrong “answers.” Nonetheless, after decision makers conduct or review a policy analysis and a
legal analysis and arrive at a conclusion, they must be able to support and defend that decision. Stakeholder values are often in conflict; decision makers working
in the field of healthcare and health law have many opportunities to defend their decisions!
The final project for this course will give you an opportunity to build policy and legal analysis skills. You will choose from one of three issue prompts at the
beginning of the course. Throughout the course, you will draft a memo containing an overview and analysis of your selected issue, as well as a series of
recommendations for a healthcare executive. You will experience some of the challenges of reconciling competing values, demands for resources, and
organizational needs. Each issue prompt is based on “real world” scenarios, so take this opportunity to practice developing health law and policy analysis skills.
This final project addresses your mastery with regard to the following course outcomes:
Assess the impact of stakeholder needs on decision making for ensuring effective implementation of health law and policy
Assess the impact of current healthcare laws, policies, and financing practices on affected key stakeholders for informing policy recommendations
Determine the extent to which legal risks and potential malpractice issues influence policy decision making
Recommend appropriate strategies for resolving value conflicts among key healthcare stakeholders
Analyze the role of key stakeholders in shaping, implementing, and evaluating health law and policy for improving population health outcomes
Prompt
You will write a policy memorandum, with recommendations, paper in which you will analyze a health law and policy issue and make a series of
recommendations to a healthcare executive. At the beginning of this course, you chose one of three issue scenarios. Now, you will create each section of the
policy memorandum using the tools and strategies you developed in this course. You have developed those tools and strategies in a stepwise fashion in each
module. Remember that the purpose of the policy memorandum is to analyze the issue scenario, make thoughtful arguments about the issue, and make
recommendations based on your analysis.
Your policy memorandum with recommendations paper must contain the following critical elements. Most of the critical elements align with a particular course
outcome (shown in brackets).

§ 6.01 IntroductionBackground checks are an important component .docx
§ 6.01 Introduction
Background checks are an important component of an effective compliance program under the United States Sentencing Guidelines Manual, § 8B2.1(b)(3) (2011). If the personnel involved in promulgating the compliance program are known as people of integrity then the compliance program will be perceived as the result of a sincere effort to create a culture of ethics within the corporation.
Since the integrity of the senior management, compliance officer, and the compliance office personnel is critical to the effectiveness of the compliance program, enhanced background checks need to be conducted on all personnel who are involved in the conduct and dissemination of the compliance program.
__________
Timing:
These background checks should be conducted at the time of employment, promotion, salary increase or change of position to a compliance related function.
__________
Typically, conducting background checks on certain prospective employees can be an important part of the employee selection process for any company.
__________
Timing:
Background checks may also be advisable for employees considered for promotion or transfer into managerial or sensitive positions, or those positions which involve unsupervised employee contact with customers.
__________
__________
Strategic Point:
This practice should be reinforced throughout the company in hiring all employees since every employee is involved in promoting and participating in the compliance program.
__________
§ 6.02 Steps Involved in the Background Check Process
__________Trap:Strategic Point:
While seemingly straightforward, the steps required to conduct a legal background check are full of traps for the unwary. As a matter of federal law (and the law of many states), the process involves the following steps:
· 1.Obtain written consent for a background check from the applicant or employee;
· 2.Obtain and analyze the results of the background check;
· 3.Provide a copy of the background check to the applicant (if the results are relevant to the selection process) along with a written statement of rights and request a response;
· 4.Provide the applicant with an opportunity to respond with written comments to the background check results;
· 5.Consider the applicant’s written comments and the background check results in making a final determination as to whether the applicant will be hired, promoted, or transferred, and;
· 6.Provide the applicant with written notice (if the background check results are relevant to the selection process) of the fact that the background check results played a part in the selection process and that the applicant was not selected as a result.
__________
__________Warning:
These steps are more than just a set of best practices, they are designed to help an employer fully comply with the requirements of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Failing to follow one or more of these steps when using background checks for employment decisions can leave a c.

Jeannette has brought Gabby (now 16) in to see you.
You meet with mother and daughter together, but Gabby does not speak.
Jeannette is angry and yelling at Gabby, despite your requests for her to please
calm down, take a deep breath, and speak more calmly.
Jeannette tells you that her daughter is a “slut.” She has found out that Gabby
has been having sex, which “goes against everything [they] taught her.”
Jeannette adds that Gabby now cannot get married in their church because she
is “damaged goods.” She states that she is horrified by her daughter’s behavior
and ashamed of her.
When you speak with Gabby alone, Gabby begins to cry, telling you that she
loves her boyfriend very much and doesn’t believe that having sex with him is
wrong. She tells you that the only thing that makes her sad is that her parents
“hate” her now, and she’s afraid that she’s “disappointed God.”
Gabby does admit to having lost her virginity at 14 under circumst.

Program Transcript
Instructions:
Post by Day 4 a description of the client’s developmental level. Explain how you
might develop rapport with the client and promote engagement in the counseling
process. Briefly describe the counseling approach you might use with this client,
based on the theoretical model you have selected. Justify your response with
references to this week’s Learning Resources and the current literature. Be
specific.
Respond by Day 7 to at least two of your colleagues using one or more of the
following approaches:
Select a colleague who was assigned a different client than you. Validate his or
her perspective or propose an alternative perspective to at least one aspect of
his or her posting (developmental level, rapport and engagement, or treatment).
Support your response with specific references to the client family presented in
the case study and to the current literature.
Select a colleague who was assigned the same client as you. Contrast your
posts. Support your response by explaining how you might combine strengths
from each of your posts to provide a better analysis of or treatment for the client.
[Week 8: Martinez Family]
General Background:
The Martinez family consists of Miguel, Jeannette, Gabby, Tommy, and Christina
(the adopted daughter of Jeannette’s cousin).
The family’s ethnicity is Hispanic, and both Miguel and Jeannette come from very
large extended families—many of whom live in the area.
They are Seventh-Day Adventists who are very involved in their church; they
both hold leadership positions in the church and attend services multiple times
each week.
Presenting Issues:
Gabby is now 19 years old and has come to see you. She is still living in her
parents’ home, which she says is “generally ok as long as [she does] what they
tell [her] to.”
Although she graduated from high school with fairly good grades, Gabby did not
go to college. She said that she wasn’t sure at the time what she wanted to do,
and her father told her “not to waste [his] money.”
© 2013 Laureate Education, Inc. 2
Since then, Gabby has had a series of low-paying jobs, from which she is usually
fired for missing too much work. She says that if she found a job she liked, she’d
probably take it more seriously, but so far that hasn’t happened.
Gabby also shares that she is getting a lot of pressure from her parents to “find a
husband and settle down,” although Gabby thinks she is too young for this.
Gabby is feeling anxious and lost and is looking to you for guidance.
[Reeves Family]
General Background:
The Reeves family consists of Lucas, John, Justin, and Emme. Lucas’ wife,
Anne, left him and the children shortly after Emme was born.
The family is Caucasian and of mixed European ethnic descent.
Their faith is Protestant, although Lucas notes that they do not attend church
regularly.

Individual Project Overview
Project Overview and Timeline
The Individual Project Assignments in this course are designed to provide you with a
practical understanding of project management activities in a health care organization.
In each of these three Assignments you have the option of interviewing an individual
who has managed real-life projects about selected aspects related to project
management, or you may choose to write a scholarly paper in which you draw insights
from published articles describing organizations’ experiences in health care information
technology projects. Either of these experiences will help you develop a first-hand
understanding of project management challenges and strategies within one or more
organizations.
The Individual Project Assignments are woven throughout the course and aligned with
course content. For each experience, the completion of a written Assignment aligned to
one of the following experiences is required:
Interview: Interview an individual with project management experience in an
organization of your choosing about one or more designated topics.
OR
Scholarly Paper: Examine a minimum of three organizations that have published
descriptions about a health care information technology project.
Tips and Guidelines
Interview
As you conduct an interview, note your observations, thoughts, and insights regarding
the individual’s roles and functions and how they are carried out. For each individual
interview, address the questions provided in the Topics and Questions section (in Week
2, Week 5, and Week 7) of this document. Keep in mind, though, that responses to the
questions represent the minimum amount of information required in the paper. You are
encouraged to explore the questions fully with thought-provoking follow-up questions.
Your paper should include the individual’s responses to your questions, and—after
some reflection—your analysis of the interviewee’s responses. Write the first draft of
your paper immediately following the interview so all of the information is fresh in your
mind. As you write, reflect upon the topics covered in this course, and synthesize your
knowledge of those topics with what you discussed during the interview.
© 2013 Laureate Education, Inc. 2
Try to match your Assignment setting to your professional goals. Consider interviewing
someone in your own organization or in an organization where you might want to work
as a nurse informaticist after you graduate.
If you are unable to complete the Individual Project Assignments with a project manager
in a health care organization, search for an individual who has managed a project,
preferably a technology project, in another type of setting. If you are unable to find an
interviewee, you must complete the scholarly paper option.

Comprehensive Write-up Guide
Week 2 Assignment: Comprehensive Patient Assessment
When completing practicum requirements in clinical settings, you and your Preceptor
might complete several patient assessments in the course of a day or even just a few
hours. This schedule does not always allow for a thorough discussion or reflection on
every patient you have seen. As a future advanced practice nurse, it is important that
you take the time to reflect on a comprehensive patient assessment that includes
everything from patient medical history to evaluations and follow-up care. For this
Assignment, you begin to plan and write a comprehensive assessment paper that
focuses on one female patient from your current practicum setting.
To complete:
Write an 8- to 10-page comprehensive paper that addresses the following:
1. General patient information
a. Age
b. Race/ethnicity
c. Partner status
2. Current health status
a. Chief concern/complaint and history of present illness (include a complete
symptom analysis of chief complaint(s) utilizing OLDCART for a sick/problem
focused visit)
b. Last menstrual period or year of menopause
c. DES exposure (if born between 1948 and 1971)
d. Sexual activity status
e. Barrier prevention
f. Sexual preference
g. Satisfaction with sexual relations
3. Contraception method (if any)
4. Patient history
a. Past medical history
• Major medical events (including pediatric events)
• Psychological and mental health
• Surgeries and/or hospitalizations if pertinent
• Medications, including prescriptions, over-the-counter medications, home
and herbal remedies, calcium, and vitamin supplements
• Allergies, including drug, food, and environment
© 2013 Laureate Education, Inc. 2
• Health maintenance/screenings, including results of patient’s last Pap and
mammogram as appropriate, as well as previous vaccinations (HPV,
MMR, hepatitis B, last dT, and pneumovax/influenza as appropriate)
b. Family medical history
c. Gynecologic history
• Nullipara vs. multipara
• History of sexually transmitted infections and sexually transmitted
diseases
• Menarche and menstrual patterns
• Menopause or peri-menopausal symptoms (if applicable)
d. Obstetric history
• Gravida and parity status (TPAL)
• Pregnancy history, including history of preterm or low birth weight, other
pregnancy complications, history of sexually transmitted diseases, and
any pertinent negatives
e. Personal social history (as appropriate to the current problem)
• Cultural background
• Education and economic condition
• Abuse history including assault and forced sex (past and current)
• Occupational health patterns
• Environment
• Current health habits and/or risk factors
• Substance use (must include for every patient)

Amount varies between departmentsSupervisor Styles
Also affect an officer’s level of activity
Organizational Styles
James Q. Wilson identified three distinct organizational styles.
The watchman style emphasizes peace-keeping without aggressive law enforcement and few controls over rank-and-file officers.
The legalistic style emphasizes aggressive crime-fighting an attempts to control officer behavior through a rule-bound, “by the book” administrative approach.
The service style emphasizes responsiveness to community expectations and is generally found in suburban police departments where there is relatively little crime.
Patrol SupervisionThe Role of Sergeant: Patrol supervision is usually accomplished by the sergeant on duty. The principle of span of control holds that a supervisor can effectively manage only a limited number of people. The recommended span of control is one sergeant for about every eight officers.

I
am delighted for the occasion to respond
to Verhagen’s insightful commentary and
Gupta’s important critique of my paper. In the
process, I hope to further clarify my thesis and the
proposal that stems from it. I start by attending to
Verhagen’s commentary, because in many ways we
are in substantial agreement and, if anything, his
observations help to further elucidate many of the
ideas I propose. After that I turn to Gupta, who
disagrees with me on several important points.
Verhagen’s four levels of analysis of psychiatric
knowledge bring in to focus the fault lines, or
the points in psychiatric practice and theory that
require critical attention if we are not to inadver-
tently bring harm upon patients. It is already at
the junction of the first level (experience of the
patient as incorporated in to a narrative) and the
second level (the clinician’s formulation of the
story), as Verhagen observes, that there is a risk
of losing the uniqueness of the patient’s story, and
with it the values she attaches to her experiences
and current predicament. Diagnostic devices like
‘criterion B’ and ‘cultural congruence’ may have
been introduced to safe guard against patholo-
gizing normality, but as I have demonstrated
throughout section 3 of my paper, that cannot be
guaranteed, and these devices may in fact be part
of the problem.
The problems between the second and third
levels of analysis really start at the second level
when the story is reformulated in to a ‘case’ with
a specific ‘diagnosis.’ Once that is done, clinicians
inevitably appeal to the known explanations for
the diagnosed disorder, whether psychological or
biological. The problem here is that other pos-
sible explanatory frameworks, such as spiritual/
religious, are eliminated as possibilities, partly
because the patient’s story has been redescribed
in the language of disorder thereby losing the
essential characteristics that make it her story.
Redescribing the patient’s experiences hampers
further attempts at meaning seeking (which in-
cludes a search for explanation), especially if that
occurs in a coercive context (I address this again
in my response to Gupta). Finally, it is the fourth
level where the epistemological foundation for
psychiatry stands. The psychiatric commitment to
a positivist/empiricist approach to experience and
214 ■ PPP / Vol. 17, No. 3 / September 2010
belief feeds in to the other two levels; it limits the
availability of alternative explanatory models in
the third and the legitimacy of subjective narrative
in the second.
I am in agreement with Verhagen that psychia-
trists “need to understand how they are related to
their knowledge,” and they also need to be aware
what could go wrong at t.

type: the endorser Sexpertise continuum
Christina S. Simmers, Datha Damron-Martinez, & Diana L. Haytko
ABStrAct
This research furthers the theoretical perspectives that athlete endorsers are brands unto
themselves, and that athlete-endorser effectiveness is determined by congruent pairings of the
athlete-endorser brand and the product brand by introducing the Endorser Sexpertise Continuum.
This model categorizes athlete celebrity endorsers on the Endorser Sexpertise Continuum with
anchor points referred to as “acquirable expertise” and “likeability.” As in successful brand
alliances, this model suggests the types of products/brands the athlete celebrities would be most
successful in endorsing, depending on their positioning on the continuum.

Forbes reported that the 10 richest male and
female athletes made a combined $600 million
in salary, prize money and endorsements,
including men’s professional golfer Tiger
Woods who alone earned nearly $100 million
in sponsorships in 2008 (Badenhausen, 2008;
Thomaselli, 2008). Interestingly, many top
athlete endorsers make considerably more
money as endorsers than as athletes in their
chosen sport. For example from June 2007 to
June 2008, female professional golfer Michelle
Wie earned $12 million in endorsement money
but only $39,000 in prize money. Similarly,
former professional basketball player Michael
Jordan made $45 million in endorsements,
despite not having participated in his sport
for many years (Badenhausen, 2008). Some
athletes endorse a multitude of products (e.g.,
National Football League quarterback Peyton
Manning, Woods, and female racecar driver
Danica Patrick), while others limit themselves

It has been discovered that there are three definite barriers
which can block a person’s ability to study and thus his ability to
be educated. These barriers actually produce physical and
mental reactions.
If one knows and understands what these barriers are and
how to handle them, his ability to study and learn will be greatly
increased.
INTRODUCTION
2
Education in the absence of the mass in which the technology
will be involved is very hard on the student.
In this context “mass” refers to the actual physical objects of
a subject; the things of life; as opposed to significance.1
Absence of mass actually makes a student feel squashed,
THE FIRST BARRIER:
ABSENCE OF MASS
1. significance: any thought, decision, concept, idea, purpose or meaning connected with
something, as opposed to its mass.

makes him feel bent,

2. physiological: having to do with living things and the ways their parts and organs work.

exasperated.
If he is studying how to do something with the mass absent,
this will be the result.
Photographs help and motion pictures would do pretty
good, as they are a sort of promise or hope of the mass, but the
printed page and the spoken word are not a substitute for a
tractor if he’s studying about tractors.
You have to understand this data in its purity—and that is
that educating a person in a mass that they don’t have and which
isn’t available produces physiological2 reactions.
6
It’s just a fact.
You’re trying to teach this fellow all about tractors and
you’re not giving him any tractors. Well, he’s going to wind up
with a face that feels squashed, with headaches and with his
stomach feeling funny. He’s going to feel dizzy from time to
time and very often his eyes are going to hurt.
You could therefore expect the greatest incidence of suicide
or illness in that field of education most devoted to studying
absent masses.
7
This one of studying the something without its mass ever
being around produces the most distinctly recognizable
reactions.
If a child felt sick in the field of study and it were traced back
to this one, the positive remedy would be to supply the mass—
the object or a reasonable substitute—and it would clear it up.
8
There is another series of physiological reactions that exist
which is based on the fact of too steep a study gradient.

three decades. From 1965–70 she studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in
Belgrade, and soon after that at the Academy of Fine Arts in Zagreb,
where she later taught. In 1970 she began working with sound environments, film,
video, and performance. Five years later she met the artist Ulay (Uwe Laysiepen) in
Amsterdam, with whom she worked until 1988. Together they devised perfor-
mances that centered on the limits of human endurance, consciousness, and
perception. Working independently since then, she has exhibited, performed, and
taught internationally, establishing a body of work whose combination of extremity
and intimacy is singular in the history of performance. In 1996 she completed two
important theatre pieces, Biography and Delusional, and the following year her
controversial performance Balkan Baroque won the International Venice Biennale
Award. She received the Niedersächsicher Kunstpreis as well as the New York Dance
and Performance Award for her recent performance/exhibition The House with the
Ocean View at the Sean Kelly Gallery. For her November 2005 exhibition at the
Guggenheim Museum in New York, Marina Abramovic ;: Seven Easy Pieces, she will
re-perform seminal works by Vito Acconci, Joseph Beuys, VALIE EXPORT, Bruce
Nauman, Gina Pane, as well as her own Lips of Thomas, and premiere a new
performance. This interview is based on three conversations with the artist, the first
of which took place in October, 2004 (Amsterdam), and the other two in April,
2005 (New York), around the time of her participation in the “(Re)presenting
Performance” symposium at the Guggenheim Museum.1

THE IDEA OF THE COLLECTIVE
THOMPSON: In reading the transcripts from the catalogue for the 1990 “Art
Meets Science and Spirituality in a Changing Economy conference,”2 I was struck
by your notion that that there could be some blend of Buddhism and communism.
Is this an idea you have continued to develop over the past decade?
30 � PAJ 82
ABRAMOVIC:: It’s really not developed or thought about; I come from communist
country, so communism is something that was very close to me. I know the idealism
of communism in the beginning, and I know the failure of communism in the end,
and I know all the problems, and why it could not succeed. It was a very interesting
concept in Burma; at one point, it was a communist government and a very strong
Buddhist country, so in the government there were Buddhist monks. Again it didn’t
work. So all these concepts don’t work because the mentality and the consciousness
of people are not raised to the level that could make it work. The solution is really
that we have to have a completely different relation to the materialistic world, and
not to be attached to.

Religious Views & Domestic Violence
Christine Hagion Rzepka
Founder & Director, The Ripple Effect
By conservative estimates, a million
Christian women in America are abused by
their husbands (Ingram, 1985), but this is
grossly underestimated (Pagelow &
Johnson, 1988). A survey done in 1993 by
the North American Council for Muslim
Women found that domestic violence
occurred in 10% of the Muslim population
(Alkhateeb, 1999). However, this study
assessed only physical abuse: if verbal and
psychological abuse were added, this
percentage would be greatly increased. One
study in Denver found that 4% of the
victims of domestic violence served in that
community were Jewish (Walker, 1997).
Clearly, the religious community is not
immune from the existence of domestic
violence—and, in some cases, may actually
encourage it through teachings and
traditional beliefs about the roles of men and
women.
While the society struggles to accept
the reality of violence in the family, many
within the religious community, as well as
members of the “clergy… refuse to believe
that abuse exists within their congregations”
(Bussert, 1986, p. 2). This denial further
compounds the sense of isolation and shame
that many victims of domestic violence
endure. Pagelow & Johnson (1988) write:
“Silence within the religious community has
served to keep the lid on the simmering pain
that not only immobilizes victims but
encourages the behavior of the perpetrators”
(p. 9).
Davidson (1978) claims that male-
oriented church doctrines and teachings “about
a woman’s place, duty and nature have added
to the problem (p. 207). This is true not only
of the Judaic and Christian traditions, but of
virtually all religions. According to Gardner
(1977): “All religions preach subordination of
women not just to God, but to men, as an
article of faith…. Moreover, Judeo/Christian
theological writings are explicitly
misogynous.”
ministers are often
the ‘counselors of choice’
for many victims
Christianity & Domestic Violence
In one study on wife abuse, several
wives were abused by their husbands, who
were ministers (Pagelow, 1984). Another
study of 350 battered women found that
28% had sought counsel from the clergy
(Pagelow, 1981b, pp. 277-300). In this
study, the top responses the women received
were a) a reminder of their wifely duty and
instructions to forgive and forget, b) referral
to another resource to limit church
involvement, and c) impractical advice
based on religious doctrine that was not only
insensitive to their needs, but at times,
dangerous. Some were reminded of their
vows “for better or worse,” and were
exhorted pray more. “One, scolded by her
minister for ‘betraying’ her husband by
revealing what had occurred in the privacy

WHEN POPULARITY OUTSTRIPS THE
EVIDENCE: COMMENT ON WEST (2005)
Robert West (2005) has taken the bold step of asserting
that the Transtheoretical Model (TTM) is so flawed that it
should be discarded. Whether one agrees with West’s
conclusion or not, his editorial should stimulate long-
overdue debate about the TTM.
A sharp divide of opinion about the TTM has surfaced
in recent years. On one side the model enjoys substantial
popularity in the form of a voluminous research litera-
ture and a large following among clinicians. On the other
side there is discontent among many scholars (e.g. Sutton
2001) who have closely scrutinized the scientific rigor of
the model. There can be no questioning the popular suc-
cess of the TTM: it is established fact. But the scientific
merit of the model can be questioned, and West has fur-
thered the debate with his provocative editorial. Consis-
tent with West, this commentary will focus on smoking
as the model addiction because smoking has been the pri-
mary focus of the TTM.
The TTM became popular because it brought atten-
tion to the intuitive notion that some smokers are more
ready to quit than others. For this, the originators of the
TTM deserve credit, though as West and others (e.g.
Bandura 1998) have pointed out, the observation that
some smokers are riper for change than others is a con-
firmation of the obvious. As a scientific model, however,
the TTM got off to an inauspicious start. The lynchpin of
the TTM is, of course, the stages of change. Thus it would
seem essential to take great care in formulating how the
stages were to be conceptualized and measured. However,
there has never been a peer-reviewed account of the
developmental research that led to the creation of the
stages of change algorithm. In fact, it is not clear that any
systematic developmental research took place at all, and
the consequences of this omission plague the model to the
present time. Instead, the authors of the TTM essentially
decreed that readiness to quit smoking should be mea-
sured using the stages of change. For the most part, the
addictions research community then adopted the stages
of change, with few questions asked.
There would be little consequence to the omission of
developmental data on the stages of change if the stages
had subsequently been proved to be valid and effective.
However, as West (2005) and others (e.g. Etter & Sutton
2002) point out, this is not the case. The stage of change
algorithm is a magpie collection of questionnaire items
that do not cohere particularly well. Two of the question-
naire items rely on arbitrary timeframes and binary yes-
no response options. One need not be an expert.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic Imperative
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.
