3.1 INTRODUCTION When the health community makes
3.1 INTRODUCTION
When the health community makes reference to patients having access to care, the reference is
generally limited. The concept of access is too often described as individuals getting to and from
health services and having the ability to pay for the services either by virtue of a third party or
out-of-pocket. We believe access to be much more than this and suggest that a redefinition of
access is long overdue. True access means being able to get to and from health services, having the
ability to pay for the services needed, and getting your needs met once you enter the health system.
This text introduces a framework for assessing the strengths and weaknesses of selective healthcare
systems, and determining if the system is providing true access to health care. The framework is
called “The Eight Factor Model.”
The comparison of health systems is made by utilizing The Eight Factor Model, which was
developed by the authors, and has “true access” as the driving value. As illustrated in Figure 3-1 ,
the model has true access at its core, and eight surrounding factors that are important for health
systems to demonstrate in order to provide that true access. A solid directional arrow from the
factor to the core depicts a system that has demonstrated evidence to support that it is providing
true access. A broken directional arrow from the core to the factor suggests the system is not
providing true access, and much work must be done to achieve it. Table 3-1 (a format for assessing
true access) provides a template for learners to formulate their own opinions about the extent to
which countries discussed in this text provide true access. Table 7 in Chapter 16 , The Eight Factor
Model for True Access, summarizes author observations regarding the extent to which each of the
11 countries discussed in the “Health Care in Industrialized (Developed) Countries and “Health
Care in Developing Countries” sections of this text have addressed true access. This will hopefully
enable the learner to briefly review it against the Eight Factor Model illustrated in Figure 3-1 . Table

health perspectives) should be fully reviewed as the l ...

Create a PowerPoint presentation of 14-16 slides with speaking notes on the new regulations impacting the practice as a result of the Affordable Care Act.
Introduction
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA or ACA) was signed into law by President Barack Obama in 2010. The ACA attempts to increase access to care, reduce cost, and improve quality. Nearly 50 different reform initiatives were implemented between 2010 and 2017. Although primary care is a major focus of the act, these additional initiatives are focused on 10 different areas, including public health, prevention of disease, community health, and increasing revenue provisions to pay for the reform (Niles, 2021). The law has been controversial due to the mandate that all Americans must purchase health insurance.
The U.S. government plays a significant role in the operation of the country's health care system. Quality, access, funding, education, and preventative services are all influenced by the U.S. government (Niles, 2021), and the Affordable Care Act (ACA) has further increased the role and involvement of the government in health care. All health care administrators must be knowledgeable on the role of the government.
Numerous governmental organizations exist, such as the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and the Office of the Surgeon General to name a few. Each organization exists for a specific purpose and has a specific mission. Your role as an administrator will be to understand the scope of these agencies and to help your organization meet or exceed the governmental mandates imposed by each.

The Quadruple Aim provides broad categories of goals to pursue to ma.docx
The Quadruple Aim provides broad categories of goals to pursue to maintain and improve healthcare. Within each goal are many issues that, if addressed successfully, may have a positive impact on outcomes. For example, healthcare leaders are being tasked to shift from an emphasis on disease management often provided in an acute care setting to health promotion and disease prevention delivered in primary care settings. Efforts in this area can have significant positive impacts by reducing the need for primary healthcare and by reducing the stress on the healthcare system.
Changes in the industry only serve to stress what has always been true; namely, that the healthcare field has always faced significant challenges, and that goals to improve healthcare will always involve multiple stakeholders. This should not seem surprising given the circumstances. Indeed, when a growing population needs care, there are factors involved such as the demands of providing that care and the rising costs associated with healthcare. Generally, it is not surprising that the field of healthcare is an industry facing multifaceted issues that evolve over time.
In this module’s Discussion, you reviewed some healthcare issues/stressors and selected one for further review. For this Assignment, you will consider in more detail the healthcare issue/stressor you selected. You will also review research that addresses the issue/stressor and write a white paper to your organization’s leadership that addresses the issue/stressor you selected.
To Prepare:
Review the national healthcare issues/stressors presented in the Resources and reflect on the national healthcare issue/stressor you selected for study.
Reflect on the feedback you received from your colleagues on your Discussion post for the national healthcare issue/stressor you selected.
Identify and review two additional scholarly resources (not included in the Resources for this module) that focus on change strategies implemented by healthcare organizations to address your selected national healthcare issue/stressor.

Introduction
The challenges and opportunities in today’s complex healthcare delivery sys-
tems demand that leaders take charge of their operations. A strong opera-
tions focus can reduce costs, increase safety, improve clinical outcomes, and
allow an organization to compete effectively in an aggressive marketplace.
In the recent past, the success of many organizations in the Ameri-
can healthcare system has been achieved through executing a few key
strategies: First, attract and retain talented clinicians; next, add new tech-
nology and specialty care; and finally, find new methods to maximize the
organization’s reimbursement for these services. In most organizations,
new services—not ongoing operations—represented the key to success.
However, that era is ending. Payer resistance to cost increases and
a surge in public reporting on the quality of healthcare are strong forces
driving a major change in strategy. To succeed in this new environment,
a healthcare enterprise must focus on making significant improvements
in its core operations.
This book is about how to get things done. It provides an inte-
grated system and set of contemporary operations improvement tools that
can be used to make significant gains in any organization. These tools
have been successfully deployed in much of the global business commu-
nity for more than 30 years (Hammer 2005) and now are being used by
leading healthcare delivery organizations.
This chapter outlines the purpose of the book, identifies challenges
that current healthcare systems are facing, presents a systems view of health-
care, and provides a comprehensive framework for the use of operations tools
and methods in healthcare. Finally, Vincent Valley Hospital and Health Sys-
tem (VVH), which is used in examples throughout the book, is described.
Purpose of this Book
Excellence in healthcare derives from three major areas of expertise: clinical
care, leadership, and operations. Although clinical expertise and leadership
are critical to an organization’s success, this book focuses on operations—
how to deliver high-quality care in a consistent, efficient manner.
Many books cover op ...

This document provides an overview of 3 topics related to advanced practice nurses (APNs) roles in healthcare:
1) Current roles of APNs as frontline providers of disease management and health promotion. There is a debate around whether APNs should position themselves as lower-cost providers or push for comparable pay to other providers.
2) An article that discusses how provider productivity is calculated in clinical settings and its importance for future nurse practitioners to understand.
3) Reflections on the roles of APNs in primary care and specialty settings, and thoughts on effective tactics for strategic positioning regarding pay equality. Some options discussed are positioning as lower-cost providers or pushing for comparable pay.

IntroductionContracts flourish in the health care industry. They could either be oral or written. The law of contracts is introduced as it relates to health care organizations and health care professionals. Contracts are important that even big corporations rely on them. Health care organizations have specified duties to care for both their stakeholders and customers. The mandatory Sarbanes-Oxley Act and legal doctrine Respondeat Superior are discussed. Organizations are sometimes held liable for the negligence of their employees. Legal issues surrounding the duties and responsibilities of an organization’s governing body are analyzed. Article

Introduction
Physicians play a critical role in the American health care system. They are not only leaders, but, they greatly influence the lives of the people that they treat. The responsibility is enormous in meeting the needs of the patients, As such, standards of conduct are provided to guide them in dealing with patients and other health care professionals. They have to work collaboratively with nursing staff members and other allied professionals in caring for their patients. Thus, legal issues concerning the allied professionals are examined and law in nursing is explored.

Assignment: Analysis of a Pertinent Healthcare Issue
The Quadruple Aim provides broad categories of goals to pursue to maintain and improve healthcare. Within each goal are many issues that, if addressed successfully, may have a positive impact on outcomes. For example, healthcare leaders are being tasked to shift from an emphasis on disease management often provided in an acute care setting to health promotion and disease prevention delivered in primary care settings. Efforts in this area can have significant positive impacts by reducing the need for primary healthcare and by reducing the stress on the healthcare system.
Changes in the industry only serve to stress what has always been true; namely, that the healthcare field has always faced significant challenges, and that goals to improve healthcare will always involve multiple stakeholders. This should not seem surprising given the circumstances. Indeed, when a growing population needs care, there are factors involved such as the demands of providing that care and the rising costs associated with healthcare. Generally, it is not surprising that the field of healthcare is an industry facing multifaceted issues that evolve over time.
In this module’s Discussion, you reviewed some healthcare issues/stressors and selected one for further review. For this Assignment, you will consider in more detail the healthcare issue/stressor you selected. You will also review research that addresses the issue/stressor and write a white paper to your organization’s leadership that addresses the issue/stressor you selected.
To Prepare:
Review the national healthcare issues/stressors presented in the Resources and reflect on the national healthcare issue/stressor you selected for study.
Reflect on the feedback you received from your colleagues on your Discussion post for the national healthcare issue/stressor you selected.
Identify and review two additional scholarly resources (not included in the Resources for this module) that focus on change strategies implemented by healthcare organizations to address your selected national healthcare issue/stressor.
The Assignment (3-4 Pages):
Analysis of a Pertinent Healthcare Issue
Develop a 3- to 4-page paper, written to your organization’s leadership team, addressing your selected national healthcare issue/stressor and how it is impacting your work setting. Be sure to address the following:
Describe the national healthcare issue/stressor you selected and its impact on your organization. Use organizational data to quantify the impact (if necessary, seek assistance from leadership or appropriate stakeholders in your organization).
Provide a brief summary of the two articles you reviewed from outside resources on the national healthcare issue/stressor. Explain how the healthcare issue/stressor is being addressed in other organizations.
Summarize the strategies used to address the organizational impact of national healthcare iss.

Licensing and Accreditation
(1 of 3)
Licensing of healthcare professionals and institutions is an important function of state law, as it filters out those who may not have the requisite knowledge or skills to practice medicine
State licensure laws define the qualifications required to become licensed and the standards that must be met for purposes of maintaining and renewing licenses
Quality Control Through
Licensing and Accreditation
(2 of 3)
Historically, licensing has been used in the promotion of healthcare quality in only the bluntest sense. This is because the only method by which to promote quality through licensure is the granting or denial of the license to practice medicine—no real middle ground.
Private professional and industry ethical and practice standards exist, though their effect on day-to-day quality is debatable.
State licensing schemes were designed not with healthcare quality per se in mind, but rather with an eye toward protecting the medical professions from unscrupulous or incompetent providers and bad publicity.

Quality Control Through
Licensing and Accreditation
(3 of 3)
Licensure plays an important role in defining the permissible “scope of practice” of the various types of healthcare providers.
It is one thing for state legislators to define the meaning of practice for various broad medical fields, but quite another for legislators to define, for example, the lawful activities of doctors as compared to physician assistants as compared to nurses.

Causes of medical errors may include the failure to complete an intended medical course of action, implementation of the wrong course of action, use of faulty equipment or products in effectuating a course of action, failure to stay abreast of one’s field of medical practice, health professional inattentiveness, the fact that optimal treatments for many illnesses are not yet known, and the culture of medicine itself.

Rules for Healthcare Transformation Frameworks and Tools v1
This document outlines frameworks and tools for healthcare transformation. It discusses three frameworks: 1) system thinking which focuses on improving systems rather than individuals, 2) applying concepts from high reliability organizations (HROs) like aviation to achieve extremely low error rates, and 3) system redesign which restructures care delivery processes and outcomes. The document also introduces tools for transformation including standardized protocols, monitoring, and latent error detection. The overall message is that new rules and a multi-framework approach are needed to transform healthcare and improve outcomes.

Assignment Application Adoption of New Technology SystemsAs a nu.docx
Assignment: Application: Adoption of New Technology Systems
As a nurse, you can have a great impact on the success or failure of the adoption of EHRs. It is important for nurses to understand their role as change agents and the ways they can influence others when addressing the challenges of changing to a drastically different way of doing things.
Everett Rogers, a pioneer in the field of the diffusion of innovations, identified five qualities that determine individual attitudes towards adopting new technology (2003). He theorized that individuals are concerned with:
Relative advantage: The individual adopting the new innovation must see how it will be an improvement over the old way of doing things.
Compatibility with existing values and practices: The adopter must understand how the new innovation aligns with current practices.
Simplicity: The adopter must believe he or she can easily master the new technology; the more difficult learning the new system appears, the greater the resistance that will occur.
Trialability: The adopter should have the opportunity to “play around’ with the new technology and explore its capabilities.
Observable results: The adopter must have evidence that the proposed innovation has been successful in other situations.
Note:
You are not required to purchase Rogers’ book or pursue further information regarding his list of five qualities. The information provided here is sufficient to complete this Assignment. The full reference for Rogers’ work is provided below the due date on this page.
For this Assignment, you assume the role of a nurse facilitator in a small hospital in upstate New York. You have been part of a team preparing for the implementation of a new electronic health records system. Decisions as to the program that will be used have been finalized, and you are now tasked with preparing the nurses for the new system. There has been an undercurrent of resistance expressed by nurses, and you must respond to their concerns. You have a meeting scheduled with the nurses 1 week prior to the training on the new EHR system. Consider how you can use the five qualities outlined by Rogers (2003) to assist in preparing the nurses for the upcoming implementation.
To prepare
Review the Learning Resources this week about successful implementations of EHRs.
Consider how you would present the new EHR system to the nurses to win their approval.
Reflect on the five qualities outlined by Rogers. How would addressing each of those areas improve the likelihood of success?
By Day 7 of Week 6
Write a 3- to 5-page paper which includes the following:
Using Rogers’ (2003) theory as a foundation, outline how you would approach the meeting with the nurses. Be specific as to the types of information or activities you could provide to address each area and include how you would respond to resistance.
Analyze the role of nurses as change agents in facilitating the adoption of new technology.

They established principles for how clinical and administrative decisions would be made within the new organization. The organization was intended to eventually expand to include a second specialist in each physician's area of practice. The document poses several questions about how to analyze and design the organizational structure of the new medical practice.

1. IntroductionWritten and Narrated by Professor Deni ElliottThe.docx
1. Introduction
Written and Narrated by Professor Deni Elliott
There are so many considerations in making ethical decisions, but what consideration is most important? Different cultures and ethical systems have produced theories that favor one consideration over others. The consideration that a theory favors is called a Fundamental Moral Unit, or FMU.
Many of the classical Western philosophers from the Greek and roman traditions favor the individual as the Fundamental Moral Unit. In these theories, the primary dictate is a negative statement: Don’t get in an individual’s way in his or her pursuit of the good life.
Feminist theories tend to determine the best choice based on how well those choices strengthen the connections among people and how well the needs of the most vulnerable are addressed. The fundamental moral unit here is relationship between people and is based on the belief that care should be given to those who can’t take care of themselves.
Some Eastern theories promote the overall good of the community first and foremost. And some indigenous theories stress human’s connection with the world as a whole, with all natural systems and species having an equal right to co-exist. People who grow up in these traditions expect that they and others will sacrifice individual self-interest for the good of the group and the environment. The Fundamental Moral Unit here is called "aggregate good."
Let’s consider a decision you might encounter if you were a member of your local city council. There is a 50 acre parcel of land in your city’s jurisdiction that was designated a hundred years ago to remain open space. Now the area contains some ancient Native burial grounds, but the tribe members a hundred years and tribe members today are happy with the designated use as long as the woodlands around the burial mounds stay intact. A developer would like to build a shopping mall there. As a city council member, you get to decide how that land will be used today: should it remain a park or become a shopping mall?
If you make your choice based only on the good that comes to individuals, you might be tempted to go with the shopping mall. The mall will provide jobs for many of the people in the community who are out of work and the additional income from the taxes from the new property owner and the businesses will allow the city to reduce taxes for individual home owners.
Which choice best advances the overall good of the community in which I live? The policy choice made previously to protect the land respected human connections to natural systems and was sensitive to the culture and history of a minority group. Affirming that decision helps all people in the community maintain trust in government.
We can see how the teachings from all of these traditions can help us in analyzing an important choice. And they can help us answer one more question: Can I find a choice that doesn’t cause harm to anyone or anything? If a shopping mall is a good idea for the .
1. IntroductionThe objective of this video is to introduce studen.docx
1. Introduction:
The objective of this video is to introduce students to the fundamental attribution error and its implications. One implication is that we often have a tendency to judge others unfairly because we do not take into account the situational factors that may have caused them to make unethical decisions. We jump to the conclusion that they are bad people because they did a bad thing. That said, it is important to remember that situational factors are usually explanations for while people err, they are not excuses. The best way to avoid this error, experts say, it to put ourselves in the shoes of others and try to envision the pressures they might have faced.
The other implication of the fundamental attribution error is that we may be too easy on ourselves, if we are not careful. We may too readily find situational factors, organizational pressures and the like and then simply excuse our own conduct.
The fundamental attribution error is the tendency to attribute "causes of behavior to actors (i.e., internal, dispositional factors) rather than the situation (i.e., external, environmental factors." We see that other people have done bad things, and we assume that it is because of their character rather than the fact that they were, perhaps, striving so hard to please their superiors that they did not even notice the ethical issue that they flubbed.
According to some psychologists, the other side of the coin from the fundamental attribution error is the actor-observer bias which is people’s tendency to over-emphasize the role of the situation in their own behaviors. They insist there’s nothing wrong with their character, because their errors are accounted for by some situational factor—the boss’s pressure, the need to feed their families, etc.
Francesca Gino writes: "In particular, one mistake we systematically make is known as the correspondence bias. When making attributions as we evaluate others, we tend to ascribe too little influence to the situation and too much to their dispositions. In simpler terms, we tend to believe that people’s behavior reflects their unique dispositions and skills, when many times it actually reflects aspects of the situation in which they find themselves." This sounds a lot like a different name for the fundamental attribution error.

Introduction
The challenges and opportunities in today’s complex healthcare delivery sys-
tems demand that leaders take charge of their operations. A strong opera-
tions focus can reduce costs, increase safety, improve clinical outcomes, and
allow an organization to compete effectively in an aggressive marketplace.
In the recent past, the success of many organizations in the Ameri-
can healthcare system has been achieved through executing a few key
strategies: First, attract and retain talented clinicians; next, add new tech-
nology and specialty care; and finally, find new methods to maximize the
organization’s reimbursement for these services. In most organizations,
new services—not ongoing operations—represented the key to success.
However, that era is ending. Payer resistance to cost increases and
a surge in public reporting on the quality of healthcare are strong forces
driving a major change in strategy. To succeed in this new environment,
a healthcare enterprise must focus on making significant improvements
in its core operations.
This book is about how to get things done. It provides an inte-
grated system and set of contemporary operations improvement tools that
can be used to make significant gains in any organization. These tools
have been successfully deployed in much of the global business commu-
nity for more than 30 years (Hammer 2005) and now are being used by
leading healthcare delivery organizations.
This chapter outlines the purpose of the book, identifies challenges
that current healthcare systems are facing, presents a systems view of health-
care, and provides a comprehensive framework for the use of operations tools
and methods in healthcare. Finally, Vincent Valley Hospital and Health Sys-
tem (VVH), which is used in examples throughout the book, is described.
Purpose of this Book
Excellence in healthcare derives from three major areas of expertise: clinical
care, leadership, and operations. Although clinical expertise and leadership
are critical to an organization’s success, this book focuses on operations—
how to deliver high-quality care in a consistent, efficient manner.
Many books cover op ...
Health Care and Policy DQ.pdf
This document provides an overview of 3 topics related to advanced practice nurses (APNs) roles in healthcare:
1) Current roles of APNs as frontline providers of disease management and health promotion. There is a debate around whether APNs should position themselves as lower-cost providers or push for comparable pay to other providers.
2) An article that discusses how provider productivity is calculated in clinical settings and its importance for future nurse practitioners to understand.
3) Reflections on the roles of APNs in primary care and specialty settings, and thoughts on effective tactics for strategic positioning regarding pay equality. Some options discussed are positioning as lower-cost providers or pushing for comparable pay.

Introduction
Physicians play a critical role in the American health care system. They are not only leaders, but, they greatly influence the lives of the people that they treat. The responsibility is enormous in meeting the needs of the patients, As such, standards of conduct are provided to guide them in dealing with patients and other health care professionals. They have to work collaboratively with nursing staff members and other allied professionals in caring for their patients. Thus, legal issues concerning the allied professionals are examined and law in nursing is explored.

Assignment: Analysis of a Pertinent Healthcare Issue
The Quadruple Aim provides broad categories of goals to pursue to maintain and improve healthcare. Within each goal are many issues that, if addressed successfully, may have a positive impact on outcomes. For example, healthcare leaders are being tasked to shift from an emphasis on disease management often provided in an acute care setting to health promotion and disease prevention delivered in primary care settings. Efforts in this area can have significant positive impacts by reducing the need for primary healthcare and by reducing the stress on the healthcare system.
Changes in the industry only serve to stress what has always been true; namely, that the healthcare field has always faced significant challenges, and that goals to improve healthcare will always involve multiple stakeholders. This should not seem surprising given the circumstances. Indeed, when a growing population needs care, there are factors involved such as the demands of providing that care and the rising costs associated with healthcare. Generally, it is not surprising that the field of healthcare is an industry facing multifaceted issues that evolve over time.
In this module’s Discussion, you reviewed some healthcare issues/stressors and selected one for further review. For this Assignment, you will consider in more detail the healthcare issue/stressor you selected. You will also review research that addresses the issue/stressor and write a white paper to your organization’s leadership that addresses the issue/stressor you selected.
To Prepare:
Review the national healthcare issues/stressors presented in the Resources and reflect on the national healthcare issue/stressor you selected for study.
Reflect on the feedback you received from your colleagues on your Discussion post for the national healthcare issue/stressor you selected.
Identify and review two additional scholarly resources (not included in the Resources for this module) that focus on change strategies implemented by healthcare organizations to address your selected national healthcare issue/stressor.
The Assignment (3-4 Pages):
Analysis of a Pertinent Healthcare Issue
Develop a 3- to 4-page paper, written to your organization’s leadership team, addressing your selected national healthcare issue/stressor and how it is impacting your work setting. Be sure to address the following:
Describe the national healthcare issue/stressor you selected and its impact on your organization. Use organizational data to quantify the impact (if necessary, seek assistance from leadership or appropriate stakeholders in your organization).
Provide a brief summary of the two articles you reviewed from outside resources on the national healthcare issue/stressor. Explain how the healthcare issue/stressor is being addressed in other organizations.
Summarize the strategies used to address the organizational impact of national healthcare iss.

Quality Control Through
Licensing and Accreditation
(1 of 3)
Licensing of healthcare professionals and institutions is an important function of state law, as it filters out those who may not have the requisite knowledge or skills to practice medicine
State licensure laws define the qualifications required to become licensed and the standards that must be met for purposes of maintaining and renewing licenses
Quality Control Through
Licensing and Accreditation
(2 of 3)
Historically, licensing has been used in the promotion of healthcare quality in only the bluntest sense. This is because the only method by which to promote quality through licensure is the granting or denial of the license to practice medicine—no real middle ground.
Private professional and industry ethical and practice standards exist, though their effect on day-to-day quality is debatable.
State licensing schemes were designed not with healthcare quality per se in mind, but rather with an eye toward protecting the medical professions from unscrupulous or incompetent providers and bad publicity.

Quality Control Through
Licensing and Accreditation
(3 of 3)
Licensure plays an important role in defining the permissible “scope of practice” of the various types of healthcare providers.
It is one thing for state legislators to define the meaning of practice for various broad medical fields, but quite another for legislators to define, for example, the lawful activities of doctors as compared to physician assistants as compared to nurses.

Medical Errors

Although medical errors are not a new problem, framing the issue as a public health problem is a relatively new phenomenon.
Overall, more people die each year from medical errors than from motor vehicle accidents, breast cancer, or AIDS.
Medical Errors
(2 of 3)
Causes of medical errors may include the failure to complete an intended medical course of action, implementation of the wrong course of action, use of faulty equipment or products in effectuating a course of action, failure to stay abreast of one’s field of medical practice, health professional inattentiveness, the fact that optimal treatments for many illnesses are not yet known, and the culture of medicine itself.

Rules for Healthcare Transformation Frameworks and Tools v1
This document outlines frameworks and tools for healthcare transformation. It discusses three frameworks: 1) system thinking which focuses on improving systems rather than individuals, 2) applying concepts from high reliability organizations (HROs) like aviation to achieve extremely low error rates, and 3) system redesign which restructures care delivery processes and outcomes. The document also introduces tools for transformation including standardized protocols, monitoring, and latent error detection. The overall message is that new rules and a multi-framework approach are needed to transform healthcare and improve outcomes.

Assignment Application Adoption of New Technology SystemsAs a nu.docx
Assignment: Application: Adoption of New Technology Systems
As a nurse, you can have a great impact on the success or failure of the adoption of EHRs. It is important for nurses to understand their role as change agents and the ways they can influence others when addressing the challenges of changing to a drastically different way of doing things.
Everett Rogers, a pioneer in the field of the diffusion of innovations, identified five qualities that determine individual attitudes towards adopting new technology (2003). He theorized that individuals are concerned with:
Relative advantage: The individual adopting the new innovation must see how it will be an improvement over the old way of doing things.
Compatibility with existing values and practices: The adopter must understand how the new innovation aligns with current practices.
Simplicity: The adopter must believe he or she can easily master the new technology; the more difficult learning the new system appears, the greater the resistance that will occur.
Trialability: The adopter should have the opportunity to “play around’ with the new technology and explore its capabilities.
Observable results: The adopter must have evidence that the proposed innovation has been successful in other situations.
Note:
You are not required to purchase Rogers’ book or pursue further information regarding his list of five qualities. The information provided here is sufficient to complete this Assignment. The full reference for Rogers’ work is provided below the due date on this page.
For this Assignment, you assume the role of a nurse facilitator in a small hospital in upstate New York. You have been part of a team preparing for the implementation of a new electronic health records system. Decisions as to the program that will be used have been finalized, and you are now tasked with preparing the nurses for the new system. There has been an undercurrent of resistance expressed by nurses, and you must respond to their concerns. You have a meeting scheduled with the nurses 1 week prior to the training on the new EHR system. Consider how you can use the five qualities outlined by Rogers (2003) to assist in preparing the nurses for the upcoming implementation.
To prepare
Review the Learning Resources this week about successful implementations of EHRs.
Consider how you would present the new EHR system to the nurses to win their approval.
Reflect on the five qualities outlined by Rogers. How would addressing each of those areas improve the likelihood of success?
By Day 7 of Week 6
Write a 3- to 5-page paper which includes the following:
Using Rogers’ (2003) theory as a foundation, outline how you would approach the meeting with the nurses. Be specific as to the types of information or activities you could provide to address each area and include how you would respond to resistance.
Analyze the role of nurses as change agents in facilitating the adoption of new technology.

This document discusses a case study involving the formation of a new medical organization by three physicians - an obstetrician, gynecologist, and urology specialist. The physicians combined their individual practices and support staff into a single partnership organization. They established principles for how clinical and administrative decisions would be made within the new organization. The organization was intended to eventually expand to include a second specialist in each physician's area of practice. The document poses several questions about how to analyze and design the organizational structure of the new medical practice.

1. IntroductionWritten and Narrated by Professor Deni ElliottThe.docx
1. Introduction
Written and Narrated by Professor Deni Elliott
There are so many considerations in making ethical decisions, but what consideration is most important? Different cultures and ethical systems have produced theories that favor one consideration over others. The consideration that a theory favors is called a Fundamental Moral Unit, or FMU.
Many of the classical Western philosophers from the Greek and roman traditions favor the individual as the Fundamental Moral Unit. In these theories, the primary dictate is a negative statement: Don’t get in an individual’s way in his or her pursuit of the good life.
Feminist theories tend to determine the best choice based on how well those choices strengthen the connections among people and how well the needs of the most vulnerable are addressed. The fundamental moral unit here is relationship between people and is based on the belief that care should be given to those who can’t take care of themselves.
Some Eastern theories promote the overall good of the community first and foremost. And some indigenous theories stress human’s connection with the world as a whole, with all natural systems and species having an equal right to co-exist. People who grow up in these traditions expect that they and others will sacrifice individual self-interest for the good of the group and the environment. The Fundamental Moral Unit here is called "aggregate good."
Let’s consider a decision you might encounter if you were a member of your local city council. There is a 50 acre parcel of land in your city’s jurisdiction that was designated a hundred years ago to remain open space. Now the area contains some ancient Native burial grounds, but the tribe members a hundred years and tribe members today are happy with the designated use as long as the woodlands around the burial mounds stay intact. A developer would like to build a shopping mall there. As a city council member, you get to decide how that land will be used today: should it remain a park or become a shopping mall?
If you make your choice based only on the good that comes to individuals, you might be tempted to go with the shopping mall. The mall will provide jobs for many of the people in the community who are out of work and the additional income from the taxes from the new property owner and the businesses will allow the city to reduce taxes for individual home owners.
Which choice best advances the overall good of the community in which I live? The policy choice made previously to protect the land respected human connections to natural systems and was sensitive to the culture and history of a minority group. Affirming that decision helps all people in the community maintain trust in government.
We can see how the teachings from all of these traditions can help us in analyzing an important choice. And they can help us answer one more question: Can I find a choice that doesn’t cause harm to anyone or anything? If a shopping mall is a good idea for the .
1. IntroductionThe objective of this video is to introduce studen.docx
1. Introduction:
The objective of this video is to introduce students to the fundamental attribution error and its implications. One implication is that we often have a tendency to judge others unfairly because we do not take into account the situational factors that may have caused them to make unethical decisions. We jump to the conclusion that they are bad people because they did a bad thing. That said, it is important to remember that situational factors are usually explanations for while people err, they are not excuses. The best way to avoid this error, experts say, it to put ourselves in the shoes of others and try to envision the pressures they might have faced.
The other implication of the fundamental attribution error is that we may be too easy on ourselves, if we are not careful. We may too readily find situational factors, organizational pressures and the like and then simply excuse our own conduct.
The fundamental attribution error is the tendency to attribute "causes of behavior to actors (i.e., internal, dispositional factors) rather than the situation (i.e., external, environmental factors." We see that other people have done bad things, and we assume that it is because of their character rather than the fact that they were, perhaps, striving so hard to please their superiors that they did not even notice the ethical issue that they flubbed.
According to some psychologists, the other side of the coin from the fundamental attribution error is the actor-observer bias which is people’s tendency to over-emphasize the role of the situation in their own behaviors. They insist there’s nothing wrong with their character, because their errors are accounted for by some situational factor—the boss’s pressure, the need to feed their families, etc.
Francesca Gino writes: "In particular, one mistake we systematically make is known as the correspondence bias. When making attributions as we evaluate others, we tend to ascribe too little influence to the situation and too much to their dispositions. In simpler terms, we tend to believe that people’s behavior reflects their unique dispositions and skills, when many times it actually reflects aspects of the situation in which they find themselves." This sounds a lot like a different name for the fundamental attribution error.
