Identify the aspects of change management that directly affect elements of the patient experience essential to the provision of high-quality, patient-centered care.

Develop a 20-minute presentation for nursing colleagues highlighting the fundamental principles of care coordination. Create a detailed narrative script for your presentation, approximately 4-5 pages in length, and record a video of your presentation.

Nurses have a powerful role in the coordination and continuum of care. All nurses must be cognizant of the care coordination process and how safety, ethics, policy, physiological, and cultural needs affect care and patient outcomes. As a nurse, care coordination is something that should always be considered. Nurses must be aware of factors that impact care coordination and of a continuum of care that utilizes community resources effectively and is part of an ethical framework that represents the professionalism of nurses. Understanding policy elements helps nurses coordinate care effectively.

This assessment provides an opportunity for you to educate your peers on the care coordination process. The assessment also requires you to address change management issues. You are encouraged to complete the Managing Change activity.

Completing course activities before submitting your first attempt has been shown to make the difference between basic and proficient assessment.

Preparation

Your nurse manager has been observing your effectiveness as a care coordinator and recognizes the importance of educating other staff nurses in care coordination. Consequently, she has asked you to develop a presentation for your colleagues on care coordination basics. By providing them with basic information about the care coordination process, you will assist them in taking on an expanded role in helping to manage the care coordination process and improve patient outcomes in your community care center.

To prepare for this assessment, identify key factors nurses must consider to effectively participate in the care coordination process.

What visual elements (e.g. color, composition, etc., referenced in the Close Reading Guidelines provided in Module 2) are most relevant in constructing the denotative (or descriptive) meaning of the image and in concealing its ideological (or its connotative) meaning?

This assignment challenges you to apply the method of semiotic analysis by developing a brief but thorough mythological or ideological interpretation of an example drawn from any aspect of visual culture (EXCEPT anything you produced or created yourself).
Select an image of your own choosing (e.g. a still or sequence from film, TV, video game, or print media) and provide an interpretation of its significance by applying the method of semiotics, drawing in particular on Roland Barthess theory of mythology as a way of bringing to light the ideology of the image. What are most important signifiers in the image youve selected? What visual elements (e.g. color, composition, etc., referenced in the Close Reading Guidelines provided in Module 2) are most relevant in constructing the denotative (or descriptive) meaning of the image and in concealing its ideological (or its connotative) meaning? In your interpretation of the image, identify which elements of the image are denotative and connotative and explain the ideology promoted through your analysis of signs. Please remember to include a jpg of or link to your selected image in your submission so that your instructor and peer review can follow your analysis. If you consulted any references, please make sure you include them in a works cited page.
Hint: The ideal image for this assignment is promotional/drawn from advertising culture.

Begin your essay by explaining which of these readings is a “primary source” reading and which is a “secondary source” reading. Do NOT copy a definition from another source. You may have to look up what each means, but put it into your own words.
Explain why many African Americans who had been slaves changed their name after the end of the Civil War. What was the significance of a person choosing a name like “Freeman” or “Lincoln”? What was significant about towns like Mound Bayou, Mississippi? What security did towns like Mound Bayou give to its residents?
What three categories of African Americans does the “Mississippi Black Code 1865” single out in the various laws that are included in this excerpt? Explain why African Americans were frustrated over the failure of the government’s promise of land to them. What does the “Mississippi Black Code 1865” excerpt say about the rights of freedmen, free Negroes and mulattoes to own property? to rent or lease property? What in the codes discourages any white person from associating with freedmen, free Negroes and mulattoes? What was the incentive for someone to return or report finding an African American who had violated their labor contract?
In the next paragraph, using evidence from the reading “The Meaning of Black Freedom,” explain the importance of the following to African Americans after the Civil War: reuniting their family; the church; education.
In your conclusion, think about events in the 21st century (today). Explain why Nannie Helen Burroughs and Virginia Broughton were involved in something that has a very modern theme. Also, consider the implications concerning the word “equality” as applied to African Americans in these readings when compared to whites at that time.
