The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) began a value-based purchasing program in 2007 to link payments to healthcare providers to the quality of care provided. The program aims to transform payment systems by rewarding high-quality, efficient clinical care. There are three aspects to the program: patient experience, hospital-acquired conditions, and achievement of expected treatment for specific diagnoses. The document provides guidance on selecting and discussing a specific hospital-acquired condition for a final paper, including preventability, legal implications, accreditation expectations, and analyzing outcomes related to cost and quality.

Diss 1First i ask myself what does collect bargaining mean .docx
Diss 1
First i ask myself what does collect bargaining mean? as i was doing my reading for this week and some research i found that it means on page 251 the process whereby workers organize under the representation of a union in order to share a degree of power with management to determine selected aspects of the conditions of employment. Then i ask myself how does it effect me as a upcoming nurse or a nurse in the healthcare field? it effects me in many ways i can use being apart of a union to get my concerns addressing and maybe answered such as pay, hours, better benefits, more sick days and paid vacations. Collective bargaining can help you build that relationship and respect between you and your employer and also contribute to stable and productive labor relations. I ask how it effects the patient, i believe they are the most important part of this process if it wasn't for the patients we wouldn't have a union. it affects the patients in many ways such as getting the adequate time/ care from the physicians , less medical errors. One thing that i read was having a positive work place makes it better for the patient and the staff.
Diss2
In my personal opinion, these are great tools for the nurses. Having a Union to represent you in a disagreement that your employer may not understand is of great value. When a group of nurses come together to resolve a common issue and have a union representing them for a collecting bargain is an organized way of hospitals diffusing the fight over power. Sometimes when you go to a nursing supervisor or a manager they are too busy with their own agendas that a recommendation by a nurse may be overlooked. Or having nurses worked short staffed may be working for the nursing manager but not for the actual nurses working the floor.
Having a Union has helped the Nursing profession a great deal because nurses are able to strike and do as they see fit in order to have their employers see their passion without being reprimanded or fired for voicing their opinions. Collective bargaining is the organized way of coming to an agreement. It will not really impact the patient because the Union provides a 10 day letter stating when or where the strike will take place so that the hospital can make prior arrangements to have staff for the patients therefore keeping patients safe at all times

Advocating for new policies is an important aspect of the master’s-prepared nurse. For new policies to be compelling they need to be supported by evidence. Supporting data can be used to illustrate why new policies and interventions are needed to help address a specific health issue. Compelling data can help sway the stakeholders and gain support for your policy.
SHOW LESS
Another aspect of advocacy is disseminating new policies and interventions outside of the immediate care environment. This can be done by reaching out to professional organizations as well as academic and professional journals. A letter to the editor is one strategy for disseminating information to a wider audience, and to potentially enlist support throughout the wider professional community.

IHP 525 Final Project Article Review Guidelines and Rubric
IHP 525 Final Project Article Review Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
There are two final projects in this course. One is an article review and the other is a data analysis.
Regardless of their field of interest, health professionals across disciplines need to be able to analyze and use biostatistical data to address health concerns
among the populations they serve. They need to be able to identify trends, draw conclusions, and make recommendations for improving health outcomes based
on solid evidence. It is also important that they are able to communicate that information effectively to those directly or indirectly impacted. They also need to
understand what others are doing in their field, the strengths and limitations of that work, and how it affects their own organization, even if they do not intend
to become statisticians.
The two summative assessments for this course lay the foundation for these critical skills. Final Project Article Review asks you to evaluate the strengths and
limitations of existing biostatistical articles and to identify the selection process of appropriate methodologies in different contexts (Final Project Article Review).
You will present your analysis through a written executive summary geared toward an audience of fellow health professionals. In the Final Project Data Analysis,
you will calculate descriptive and inferential statistics of a small data set. You will explain the basic parameters of the data, graph it, and run simple hypothesis
tests. You will present your analysis in a statistical report geared toward a non-technical audience, draw conclusions, and make recommendations for further
research.
For your Final Project Article Review, you will review and analyze published research that you might encounter as a health professional. You will select two
journal articles from the provided list on a topic of interest. You will create an article review that identifies the articles and their relevance to your field;
summarizes the articles, including their findings; compares and contrasts the statistical methods used in the articles; explains why the methods used were
appropriate; discusses their limitations; and concludes with recommendations for future work.
Final Project Article Review is divided into three journals, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality
final submissions. These article journals will be submitted in Modules Two, Five, and Six. The completed article review will be submitted in Module Eight.
In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes:
● Analyze the role of biostatistics for its impact on professional decision making in the public health, nursing, or health science fields
● Interpret key biostatistical metrics, methods, and data for addressing population-based health problems
● Evaluate the quality and limitations of published public health, nurs ...

Part 1: Ethical
Choose two of the Nine Tenets of the Code of Ethics for Nurses:
I choose:
1. The Environment and Ethical Obligation
Virtues focus on what is good and bad in regard to whom we are to be as moral persons; obligations focus on what is right and wrong or what we are to do as moral agents. Obligations are often specified in terms of principles such as beneficence or doing good; nonmaleficence or doing no harm; justice or treating people fairly; reparations, or making amends for harm; fidelity, and respect for persons. Nurses, in all roles, must create a culture of excellence and maintain practice environments that support nurses and others in the fulfillment of their ethical obligations.
Environmental factors contribute to working conditions and include but are not limited to: clear policies and procedures that set out professional ethical expectations for nurses; uniform knowledge of the Code and associated ethical position statements. Peer pressure can also shape moral expectations within a work group. Many factors contribute to a practice environment that can either present barriers or foster ethical practice and professional fulfillment. These include compensation systems, disciplinary procedures, ethics committees and consulting services, grievance mechanisms that prevent reprisal, health and safety initiatives, organizational processes and structures, performance standards, policies addressing discrimination and incivility position descriptions, and more. Environments constructed for the equita.

Write a letter to the editor (3–5 double-spaced typed pages) of .docx
Write a letter to the editor (3–5 double-spaced typed pages) of an academic or professional journal. Your submission should be succinct yet substantive.
Note
: Each assessment in this course builds on the work you completed in the previous assessment. Therefore, you must complete the assessments in this course in the order in which they are presented.
Advocating for new policies is an important aspect of the master’s-prepared nurse. For new policies to be compelling they need to be supported by evidence. Supporting data can be used to illustrate why new policies and interventions are needed to help address a specific health issue. Compelling data can help sway the stakeholders and gain support for your policy.
SHOW LESS
Another aspect of advocacy is disseminating new policies and interventions outside of the immediate care environment. This can be done by reaching out to professional organizations as well as academic and professional journals. A letter to the editor is one strategy for disseminating information to a wider audience, and to potentially enlist support throughout the wider professional community.
By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:
Competency 1: Design evidence-based advanced nursing care for achieving high-quality population outcomes.
Evaluate the current state of the quality of care and outcomes for a specific issue in a target population.
Justify why a developed policy will be vital in improving the quality of care and outcomes for a specific issue in a target population.
Competency 2: Evaluate the efficiency and effectiveness of interprofessional interventions in achieving desired population health outcomes.
Analyze the ways in which interprofessional aspects of a developed policy will support efficient and effective achievement of desired outcomes for the target population.
Competency 3: Analyze population health outcomes in terms of their implications for health policy advocacy.
Analyze how the current state of the quality of care and outcomes for a specific issue in a target population necessitates health policy development and advocacy.
Advocate for policy development in other care settings with regard to a specific issue in a target population.
Competency 4: Communicate effectively with diverse audiences, in an appropriate form and style, consistent with organizational, professional, and scholarly standards.
Communicate in a professional and persuasive manner, writing content clearly and logically with correct use of grammar, punctuation, and spelling.
Integrate relevant sources to support assertions, correctly formatting citations and references using APA style.
Nurses have the opportunity to use their skills and develop programs to keep individuals and communities healthy. Health is complex however, and the nurse needs to possess strong advocacy skills to successfu.

IHP 525 Final Project Article Review Guidelines and Rubric
IHP 525 Final Project Article Review Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
There are two final projects in this course. One is an article review and the other is a data analysis.
Regardless of their field of interest, health professionals across disciplines need to be able to analyze and use biostatistical data to address health concerns
among the populations they serve. They need to be able to identify trends, draw conclusions, and make recommendations for improving health outcomes based
on solid evidence. It is also important that they are able to communicate that information effectively to those directly or indirectly impacted. They also need to
understand what others are doing in their field, the strengths and limitations of that work, and how it affects their own organization, even if they do not intend
to become statisticians.
The two summative assessments for this course lay the foundation for these critical skills. Final Project Article Review asks you to evaluate the strengths and
limitations of existing biostatistical articles and to identify the selection process of appropriate methodologies in different contexts (Final Project Article Review).
You will present your analysis through a written executive summary geared toward an audience of fellow health professionals. In the Final Project Data Analysis,
you will calculate descriptive and inferential statistics of a small data set. You will explain the basic parameters of the data, graph it, and run simple hypothesis
tests. You will present your analysis in a statistical report geared toward a non-technical audience, draw conclusions, and make recommendations for further
research.
For your Final Project Article Review, you will review and analyze published research that you might encounter as a health professional. You will select two
journal articles from the provided list on a topic of interest. You will create an article review that identifies the articles and their relevance to your field;
summarizes the articles, including their findings; compares and contrasts the statistical methods used in the articles; explains why the methods used were
appropriate; discusses their limitations; and concludes with recommendations for future work.
Final Project Article Review is divided into three journals, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality
final submissions. These article journals will be submitted in Modules Two, Five, and Six. The completed article review will be submitted in Module Eight.
In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes:
● Analyze the role of biostatistics for its impact on professional decision making in the public health, nursing, or health science fields
● Interpret key biostatistical metrics, methods, and data for addressing population-based health problems
● Evaluate the quality and limitations of published public health, nurs ...

Part 1: Ethical
Choose two of the Nine Tenets of the Code of Ethics for Nurses:
I choose:
1. The Environment and Ethical Obligation
Virtues focus on what is good and bad in regard to whom we are to be as moral persons; obligations focus on what is right and wrong or what we are to do as moral agents. Obligations are often specified in terms of principles such as beneficence or doing good; nonmaleficence or doing no harm; justice or treating people fairly; reparations, or making amends for harm; fidelity, and respect for persons. Nurses, in all roles, must create a culture of excellence and maintain practice environments that support nurses and others in the fulfillment of their ethical obligations.
Environmental factors contribute to working conditions and include but are not limited to: clear policies and procedures that set out professional ethical expectations for nurses; uniform knowledge of the Code and associated ethical position statements. Peer pressure can also shape moral expectations within a work group. Many factors contribute to a practice environment that can either present barriers or foster ethical practice and professional fulfillment. These include compensation systems, disciplinary procedures, ethics committees and consulting services, grievance mechanisms that prevent reprisal, health and safety initiatives, organizational processes and structures, performance standards, policies addressing discrimination and incivility position descriptions, and more. Environments constructed for the equita.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
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.
