Description MGT495 Organizational Strategy – Spring 2024 Week 13 – AI Outside of Class Assignment Assignment: Utilize Artificial Intelligence (AI) to examine the most effective strategy that a manufacturing business can embark upon. Each person will research the most effective strategy that a manufacturing business can undertake using the following information: 1. Prompt your preferred AI program to create a statement on what it considers the most effective strategy a manufacturing business can embark upon. Use this specific prompt: What is the most effective strategy a manufacturing business can embark upon? 2. Save the information provided by your preferred AI program, including a screenshot of the prompt you used. 3. The AI program will likely provide a list of what it considers the most effective strategies. 4. Of the listed most successful strategies generated by your AI program, choose one that you feel is the best. a. Choose one strategy and discuss why you have chosen. b. Defend your choice, using a source or sources to support your opinion. 5. Compose a one-to-three-page paper discussing your choice and justification for why you chose it. Include AI’s output statement and your initial prompt in the paper, but note: these are not included in the one-to-three-page requirement.
Description Something I learned is that APA style primarily uses the author-date citation system for in-text citations. What this means is that the author's last name and the publication year of the source are included in parentheses within the text. I have not yet added citations and references to my rough draft, as that is usually what I do very last of any papers I write so I will provide other examples. To cite in APA, you use the last name, a comma, and the year, within parentheses. For example, (Smith, 2019). This would be the in-text citation. A direct quote would include the direct quote in quotation marks, followed by the citation in parentheses with the last name and the year of publication.
Description The stance that I chose for my ethical issues debate was supporting telemedicine. Thus, my problem statement was "A significant challenge that many Americans face is access to high quality healthcare. This lack of access is directly linked the many negative healthcare outcomes, resulting in compromising the health of many patients and causing healthcare organizations to lose millions of dollars in potential revenue." For the purpose of debating this stance, the literature review I conducted offered many important learning takeaways and insights to this issue. Reviewing the literature brought to light the undeniable amount of Americans who live without access to quality healthcare. Barriers such as remote geographic locations, financial difficulties, and language are all limiting factors to the delivery of effective healthcare (Choi et al., 2020). My research also made apparent the large amounts of healthcare disparities that exist as a result of these barriers. Whether the disparity comes from socioeconomic status, racial or ethnic backgrounds, or disability, the literature indicates that there is a clear correlation between limited access to care and negative patient outcomes, especially in populations who experience mental health challenges (Coombs et al., 2021). Another key takeaway from my literature review was the importance of accurate assessing of the social determinants of health. The five social determinants of health include access to education, access to health care, economic stability, built environment, and social and community contexts (Chelak & Chakole, 2023). An assessment of America's current status demonstrates that statistically, the large amount of individuals who experience disparities is resulting in the violation of fundamental ethical principles such as equality and human dignity.
Description The California Senate Bill 1254 from 2019 requires hospital pharmacy staff to obtain updated and accurate medication lists for high-risk patients upon admission in acute hospitals with more than 100 beds (Usheroff, 2023). High-risk patients include older adults, patients with chronic illnesses, or patients taking multiple drugs. Before this bill passed, nurses were the primary staff who obtained and updated these medication lists upon arrival to the hospital. With this new bill, pharmacy staff is also required to verify the medication lists for all high-risk patients admitted. A research study performed found that about 94% of medications obtained had at least one error, and about 54% of patients had at least one serious or potentially life-threatening error on their medication list (Tu et al., 2023). The technology associated with this bill includes the charting systems of the hospital and their medication administration records. Although technology has helped make obtaining past medical records easier for hospital staff, there are also occurrences where the wrong medical information was obtained and charted into patient records. This can cause a patient safety hazard as there can be wrong medical information regarding their medications updated in the patient's chart and if the patient is a poor historian, this can cause conflict and serious medication errors. To help prevent this from occurring, double verifying all information with the pharmacy, providers, and nursing staff during each hospital admission is important and can help reduce these risks.
Description A quality improvement strategy to improve health is to observe a problem at a hospital, gather data on what is causing the issue, create a plan to address it, implement the plan, and evaluate the outcomes (McEwen & Wills, 2023). An example of this is medication errors in the hospital setting. The first step is to observe and take note of the medication errors that have occurred recently. Next, data should be gathered on why the med errors are happening. This could be because the nurse is overworked and bypassing security measures such as medication alert pop-ups in order to save time. Or this could be because there are not enough safety measures in place such as scanning the medicine bar codes, pop up alerts, or two-nurse sign offs for high risk medication. After the data on what is causing the errors is discovered, a plan should be made and implemented to address this. The most important part of quality improvement strategies is evaluating the outcomes of the changes. If the results are increased or no-change med errors, then the quality improvement project should be modified or abandoned. Something I can do at work is use bar codes for scanning meds, and if I have a high workload I can prioritize med pass over less vital tasks. I can apply this to my nursing practice by noticing a problem on the floor, bringing it up to management, offering my observations for data collection, implementing the plan, and offering my observations on the outcomes. The assimilation of quality improvement strategies enhance leadership by setting a good example for other nurses to improve practice, which enhances patient care and satisfaction. Nurses lead everyday through their actions. A nurse leader is defined by their actions such as education and quality of practice, collaboration and communication, and advocacy for staff and patients (McEwen & Wills, 2023). When a nurse leader practices the new quality improvement project, other nurses will notice and trust that implementing the new quality improvement is in the best interest of the patients and staff.
