Propose a change to one aspect of your local or regional health care system or

Propose a change to one aspect of your local or regional health care system or program that would improve outcomes. Then, conduct a comparative analysis of other, non-U.S. health care systems, focusing on the proposed change. Summarize the proposed change and your comparative analysis in a 4–5 page report.
Health care systems around the world provide useful models for analysis. Familiarity with different models and approaches to health care enables leaders to identify what works and what does not, as the basis for proposing a change. As we continue to evaluate the complex and fragmented system in the United States, it is important for nurse leaders to become familiar with the programs and systems that provide evidence-based quality care that is affordable and focused on continual improvement.
This assessment provides an opportunity to examine a local or regional health care issue from a global perspective.
Your organization, in collaboration with the key stakeholders from the community, is funding an initiative to investigate potential improvements in the local or regional health care system. As a nurse leader attuned to the effects of health care policy and finance on the provision of affordable, high-quality care, you have been asked to join the task force conducting the study.
You know that an examination of other countries’ health care systems can provide a solid, evidence-based foundation for evaluating outcomes and identifying benchmarks. Consequently, you have decided to undertake an analysis of selected, non-U.S. health care systems and compare them to each other and to the existing local or regional U.S. system to help inform decision making as the task force considers proposed changes.
In this assessment, you will propose a change to one aspect of your local or regional health care system or program. Conduct a comparative analysis of different health care systems and summarize your proposed change and findings from your analysis in a report to executive leaders. To prepare for your assessment, you are encouraged to begin thinking about the non-U.S. health care systems you might like to examine. In addition, you may wish to:
REQUIREMENT
Complete this assessment in three steps:
Propose a change to one aspect of your local or regional health care system or program that would improve outcomes.
Conduct a comparative analysis of different health care systems, focusing on one aspect of the system you are proposing to change.
Summarize your proposed change and the results of your comparative analysis in a report to executive leaders.
The summary report requirements outlined below, correspond to the grading criteria in the scoring guide for Proposing Evidence-Based Change, so be sure to address each point. Read the performance-level descriptions for each criterion to see how your work will be assessed. The Guiding Questions: Proposing Evidence-Based Change document provides additional considerations that may be helpful in completing your assessment. In addition, be sure to note the requirements below for document format and length and for citing supporting evidence.
Identify an aspect of a local or regional health care system or program that should be a focus for change.
Define desirable outcomes, including who will pay for care and factors limiting achievement of those outcomes.
Analyze two non-U.S. health care systems or programs that offer insight into a proposed change for a health care system or program in the United States.

Choose one of the following options for selecting the two systems or programs:

Option 1: Select two systems at opposite ends of the scale in terms of desirable outcomes for the issue reflected in your proposed change.
Option 2: Select two systems that both produce positive outcomes but take unique or innovative approaches to the problem.

Compare the outcomes in each non-U.S. system with each other and with present outcomes in your local or regional health care system.

Explain why specific changes will lead to improved outcomes.
Determine the financial and health implications associated with the proposed changes.

Address the implications of making the changes.

 Assignment part 1
Watch the video, “How to Read and Comprehend Scientific Research Articles.”  The video is linked to the Learning Resources in Content for this week.  This video shows you how to break down one kind of scholarly article to understand it. (Please note that you might find many kinds of research articles. You can find out more about identifying different types of scholarly articles by visiting the links, “Identify Scholarly Articles” and “Different Types of Scholarly Sources” in Week 1 Content/Learning Resources.) 
Review the “Template for Taking Notes on Research Articles.” 
Read “Searching Basics” from the UMGC Library to learn how to get started on your own research.
Optional for this task: Watch Library Tutorials #1 and #2. They’ll help you in your search as well. 
Then, respond to this discussion topic by answering the following questions.
What research topic do you think you will focus on for this semester’s work? Why? Answer in one or two sentences. 
In your opinion, what is the most important step to take when reading research articles? According to the material you’ve watched and read, what is the most important step to take when reading research articles? Answer in one or two sentences.
After reading “Searching Basics” and/or watching the first two library tutorials, please find one (1) article on your chosen research topic that review and give the findings of a research study.  In responding to this discussion topic, give the author(s), the title of the article, and a brief one- or two-sentence description of the research study and its findings. (The activity in this last task will help you get started on your Critical Annotated Bibliography, which is Writing Assignment #1.)
Now take a moment to reflect on one classmate’s chosen topic (refer to #2). Respond to his or her thread and write one to two sentences sharing your thoughts on his or her topic.

How to Read and Comprehend Scientific Research Articles
PART 2
Watch Library Tutorials #1, #2, and #3. Links to these videos appear in Learning Resources in this week’s Content list. They demonstrate strategies to use when finding articles through OneSearch, a research tool that allows you to search on many databases at one time.
Read the case below and complete the following tasks.
Assume you work for a company that is hiring more and more “Generation Z” employees.
Your supervisor has asked you to conduct research on issues regarding employees from Generation Z. She’s heard that Generation Z may have different expectations of the work environment from those from older generations. In addition, she mentions that Generation Z might have different habits with regard to their use of technology.
In short, she has a vague idea about this generation, but nothing very definite—and she’d like to learn more. 
Because she needs basic information, your task is to conduct a very general search on Generation Z and their work or technology habits. You don’t need to focus your topic now, although she may ask you for more information at a later date.
Here’s what you’ll need to do: 
Using the strategies discussed in Video Tutorial #1, search on Generation Z and work to find your articles. Your search can be broad at this stage. 

List the topic you searched (e.g., “post-millennials”)
List your search terms. Include at least three (3) terms. (e.g., “employees”)

Write the titles of the four articles and the journals in which they appeared.  (e.g., “Understanding Generational Differences in Workplace Environments,” Harvard Business Journal) 
Using the strategies discussed in Library Video #2, conduct a new search on a topic that’s either related to your major or to your work. As the video demonstrates, use quotation marks around your search phrase. 

List your search phrase(s). (e.g., “academic writing”)
List how many search results you received. (e.g., 151,022)

Focus your search from question #2 by using the SU-subject terms option from the drop-down menu for one of the rows.

List the number of search results you have after limiting the search by using SU-subject terms. (e.g., 583)

Finally, using the strategies mentioned in Video Tutorial #3, locate the subject guide for your major. If you haven’t declared a major yet, please select one that interests you from drop-down menu. 

Describe any interesting resources you’ve discovered (1-2 sentences). (e.g., “Under ‘Subject Guides for Writing,’ I found a link to a helpful website, Purdue OWL Writing Resources. It includes tips on everything from grammar to APA, MLA, and CMS citations.”)

Please note that you will not be able to see other students’ responses to this discussion topic until you post your response.

Step 1: Visual Representation
Create a visual representation of your socialization journey.
Choose a specific social identity you want to explore and reflect upon. 
Make a paper or digital timeline map:

Write the social identity you are mapping at the top of the paper.  
Draw a line straight across the paper.  
Cut the line into four or five equal sections.  
Label each section based on age ranges (e.g., 0-5, 6-10, 11-15, 16 to present) or school life stages (e.g., preschool, elementary, middle/junior high, high school, college). 

Map your experiences using the cycle of socialization chart as a reference.  
Questions that students should answer directly on their timeline map:
What messages or beliefs were you taught about your social identity? 
Where did these messages come from? (Parents, family members, teachers, religious organizations, friends, media, society, etc.) 
How were these messages reinforced?
Step 2:  Reflection
Write a reflective response that addresses the following prompts (200 words): 
How did these messages influence your perception of yourself and others? 
Reflect on specific behaviors that were encouraged, rewarded, supported, discouraged, unsupported, or punished concerning your social identity.

In advocating for institutional policy changes related to local, state, or fede

In advocating for institutional policy changes related to local, state, or federal health care laws or policies, health leaders must be able to develop and present clear and well-written policy and practice guideline proposals that will enable a team, a unit, or an organization as a whole to resolve relevant performance issues and bring about improvements in the quality and safety of health care. This assessment offers you an opportunity to take the lead in proposing such changes.
As a master’s-level health care practitioner, you have a valuable viewpoint and voice on policy development, both inside and outside your care setting. Developing policy for internal purposes can be a valuable process toward quality and safety improvement, as well as ensuring compliance with various health care regulatory pressures. This assessment offers you an opportunity to take the lead in proposing such changes.
QUESTION
Propose an organizational policy and practice guidelines that you believe will lead to an improvement in quality and performance associated with the benchmark underperformance you advocated for improving in Assessment 1. Be precise, professional, and persuasive in demonstrating the merit of your proposed actions.
The policy proposal requirements outlined below correspond to the scoring guide criteria, so be sure to address each main point. Read the performance-level descriptions for each criterion to see how your work will be assessed. In addition, be sure to note the requirements for document format and length and for supporting evidence.
Explain the need for creating a policy and practice guidelines to address a shortfall in meeting a benchmark metric prescribed by local, state, or federal health care policies or laws.

What is the current benchmark for the organization and the numeric score for the underperformance?
How is the benchmark underperformance potentially affecting the provision of quality care or the operations of the organization?
What are the potential repercussions of not making any changes?

What evidence supports your conclusions?

Summarize your proposed organizational policy and practice guidelines.

Identify applicable local, state, or federal health care policy or law that prescribes relevant performance benchmarks that your policy proposal addresses.
Keep your audience in mind when creating this summary.

Analyze the potential effects of environmental factors on your recommended practice guidelines.

What regulatory considerations could affect your recommended guidelines?
What resources could affect your recommended guidelines (staffing, financial, and logistical considerations, or support services)?

Explain ethical, evidence-based practice guidelines to improve targeted benchmark performance and the impact the proposed changes will have on the targeted group.

What does the evidence-based literature suggest are potential strategies to improve performance for your targeted benchmark?
How would these strategies ensure performance improvement or compliance with applicable local, state, or federal health care policy or law?
How can you ensure that these strategies are ethical and culturally inclusive in their application?
What is the direct impact of these changes on the stakeholders’ work setting and job requirements?

Explain why particular stakeholders and groups must be involved in further development and implementation of your proposed policy and practice guidelines.

Why is it important to engage these stakeholders and groups?
How can their participation produce a stronger policy and facilitate its implementation?

Present strategies for collaborating with the stakeholder group to implement your proposed policy and practice guidelines.

What role will the stakeholder group play in implementing your proposal?
Why is the stakeholder group and their collaboration important for successful implementation?

Organize content so ideas flow logically with smooth transitions.

Proofread your proposal, before you submit it, to minimize errors that could distract readers and make it more difficult for them to focus on the substance of your proposal.

My presentation was about fall prevention technology. We have three different sensitivities: repositioning, moves to edge of bed, and left the bed. Personally, I don’t like using the “left the bed” sensitivity because if a patient is a bad enough fall risk to put on the bed alarm, that sensitivity is not going to help much. The bed alarm does me no good if it’s just telling me “hey, your patient just fell.” Bed alarms may help improve response times in order to prevent a fall but a bed alarm will not prevent a fall on its own. (Patient Safety Authority, 2004). Another point I mentioned is that bed alarms are not integrated into EHR and has to be manually documented. I feel like if the bed boards at the charge desk can show which room has bed alarms engaged, it should translate into the chart as well.

Sepsis is an overwhelming infection that can lead to total body failure. Approximately 270,00 Americans die from it each year. Symptoms of Sepsis are similar to many other illnesses, diagnosing it can be very challenging; however, studies have shown with early recognition, followed by aggressive treatment could have a better outcome (Perlin, 2019). When it comes to Sepsis, minutes matter and just as we have improved safety in our homes with smoke detectors that sniff out a possible fire. HCA uses a new technology called S-P-O-T Sepsis Prediction and Optimization of Therapy. The S-P-O-T technology works by using AI algorithm to monitor patients 24/7 and to sniff out and detect the first signs of sepsis by observing labs, vitals and symptoms as well as risk factors. Early diagnosis of sepsis allows prompt lifesaving treatment to save lives that can include but not limited to fluids, broad spectrum antibiotics and pressors if needed these treatments are called sepsis bundles (Perlin, 2019).
