The purpose of this assignment is to allow you the opportunity to analyze major characteristics of the U.S health care system, while also allowing you a more in-depth opportunity to analyze these characteristics and understand how they specifically play a role in current trends in health care. U.S. health care is different from any other health care setting in the world. The U.S health care environment is referred to as a system because it offers numerous features, components, and services. Understanding this system-based approach is critical for you as an allied health care professional. For this assignment, choose two of the following 10 characteristics of the U.S. health care system. No central agency Partial access Multiple payers Imperfect market conditions Third-party payers Balancing of powers Litigation risks High technology use Services offered Quality measurement Then, in a paper explain: The role of each characteristic you chose with a focus on the impact on the current health care system. Two current trends and driving forces within those characteristics that impact the current health care system. The appropriate skills needed to manage these trends and issues within your scope of practice, while considering various principles of the Christian worldview. Provide a minimum of three scholarly sources (one of these should be the textbook). For a review of the principles of the Christian worldview, see the GCU "Statement on the Integration of Faith and Work," located in the topic Resources.

PERSUASION AND POSITIVE SOCIAL CHANGE In this course so far, you have begun to engage with the idea of persuasion as it applies to marketing. In the Week 4 Discussion, you reflected upon a buying experience in which you were persuaded, through marketing efforts, to make a purchase. Now think back to leaders you have known or observed who were particularly good at persuading others toward a shared vision or common goals. What was it about their persuasive approach that made it particularly compelling? Were there ever any negative consequences of them employing persuasion?As you continue to develop your own skills of persuasion, consider how you might use those skills most effectively to make a positive impact through your life and work. In this Discussion, you will consider the risks and benefits of using persuasion to influence others and will share with your colleagues how you might use your own skills of persuasion to bring about positive social change.

This is an individual activity and tests the students' ability to consume, synthesize, and apply all they learned during the course in order to address specific disparities existing among several countries' healthcare systems. These reports are in professional written report format, not PowerPoint. Each student picks a geographic region with at least three countries (not in North America) and investigates health care in the context of:    o   Poverty    o   Public and professional education    o   Distribution of providers by specialties and educational levels    o   Allocation of resources (including locations of medical facilities and providers)    o   Overall management of the health care by government as well as other political, social, and economic factors. It will be important to investigate and document links between poverty, education, and accessibility to the quality of health care and delivery.  Note 1:  The topics for this assignment are different than the Team Project #2. Note 2:  The countries must be different than the ones used in the student's team (Project 2) assignment. Each student will write a report combining statistics and information from various reputable international sources with their own insights into an analysis of current strengths and weaknesses for each country. Each student will integrate the reports to create potentially workable solutions to the shortcomings and problems that are discovered.   The students must utilize primary sources, consulting the literature and works of known and well reputed organizations such World Health Organization (WHO) and/or National Institutes of Health in their research. The students must also follow scholarly methods of conducting research, organizing data, and citing references. The deadline for submitting reports is posted in Canvas.

"You want me to sign WHAT for financial responsibility?" – A Critical Thinking Discussion. A recent addition to the standard financial responsibility verbiage in the standard physician forms is the agreement to pay or accept responsibility to pay for services if the insurance company does not cover the visit or portions thereof. Wait! What? Isn't that why I have insurance? Isn't that what my premiums are for and what my co-pay covers? This is all too common today, and the policies (our policies) are too confusing to read and know exactly what our responsibility is. Coincidence? Discuss your feelings about the physician's office or hospital's level of commitment to verifying benefits and assuming responsibility for their errors. Consider your feelings on making policies "plain language" so they can be understood and quickly clarified. Should you, as the patient, be responsible if your insurance company does not pay for a service that your physician orders? Should you be responsible for fighting to get that service paid for? Back up your opinions with references and in-text citations to course readings, lectures, or external articles. Your response should be 300-350 words minimum, written in your own words.

The U.S. created Medicare, a publically funded healthcare program, to assist people sixty-five years of age and older in obtaining healthcare services. Tasks: Summarize the legislation that introduced Medicare and the funding source for the program. Discuss some of the changes that have occurred in the Medicare program since its inception. Describe the demographics of the population covered by Medicare and identify the number of people in the U.S. covered by Medicare. Assess how changes in Medicare will affect the citizens and legal residents in your state. Include specific demographic information on age, race, income, etc., for your state to justify your response.

1st peer- Theoretical framework helps structure information in a way that helps analyze data (Wilson, 2015).  My change project is aimed at reducing readmissions by using long-acting antipsychotics. There are variables that will be used in my change project that include independent variables and dependent variables. The dependent variable is the aimed outcome, and, in this case, it would be reduction in readmissions by 50%.  The independent variable are the factors that influence change which are medication availability, access to services, adequate support from leadership, and training for the psychiatric nurse practitioner led team. To achieve the desired outcome, there are steps that can be used for planning and implementing. The first step would be to assess. This includes looking at the whole picture and understanding where things are and what might get in the way of achieving the desired outcome. The change project was thought of because there is a high rate of readmission or patients that have a history of multiple hospitalizations. Things that might get in the way of achieving the desired outcome include proper training, medication availability, compliance of long-acting injectables, and follow-up. The next step includes planning to organize, set goals, and define roles.  This includes defining the role of the psychiatric nurse practitioner led team, identifying their duties, and their responsibilities. Part of the planning includes setting clear objectives. Designing interventions is the next step in the planning and implementing process. In the change project some interventions include training the psychiatric nurse practitioner led team. It is important to plan out how communication about which patients are receiving long acting injectables will be communicated, which patients are taking oral medications, how to contact the patients, and how all this information will be organized. The next step includes implementation in which there is execution of the plan. In the change project this looks like those that are part of the psychiatric nurse practitioner led team will start contacting patients, educating them on the benefits of long-acting injectables, offering the long-acting injectables, scheduling the patients to receive long-acting injectables, and following up with the patients to make sure they continue to receive their medications. Lastly, evaluation is the next step, and this is where there is assessment of the outcomes. The psychiatric nurse practitioner led team can look at the data and analyze if there has been a reduction of readmissions within a year time frame. The theoretical framework can help develop a clear and concise plan. 2nd peer- After discussing my theoretical framework in our previous Theoretical/conceptual framework assignment, I now have a clearer understanding of the rationale for predictions on the relationship among variables. The variables I will use in my change project for Normalization Process Theory (NPT) include coherence, cognitive participation, collective action, and reflexive monitoring. The Allostatic Load & Delirium in Hospitalized Elderly Model (ALDHE) variables include Allostatic load, stress factors, and risk of delirium. The specific steps that are necessary to implement my change project in my organization are the following: defining project scope and objectives, forming a multidisciplinary team, conducting a baseline assessment, training and education, developing and implementing screening protocols, integrating delirium prevention strategies, monitoring and evaluating implementation, having continuous improvement, fostering a culture of delirium awareness, reporting and dissemination. By following these many steps, I believe my organization can implement an effective change project. According to Harrison et al. (2021) “Change management methodologies were valued for providing guiding principles for change that are well suited to enable methodologies to be applied in the context of complex and unique healthcare contexts, and to be used in synergy with implementation and improvement methodologies.”
