Ethical and Policy Factors in Care Coordination

Select a community organization or group that you feel would be
interested in learning about ethical and policy issues that affect the
coordination of care. Then, develop and record a 10-12-slide, 20-minute
presentation, with audio, intended for that audience. Create a detailed
narrative script or speakers notes for your presentation, 4-5 pages in
length.
As coordinators of care, nurses must be aware of the code of ethics
for nurses and health policy issues that affect the coordination of care
within the context of the community. To help patients navigate the
continuum of care, nurses must be proficient at interpreting and
applying the code of ethics for nurses and health policy, specifically,
the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Being knowledgeable about ethical and
policy issues helps ensure that care coordinators are upholding ethical
standards and navigating policy issues that affect patient care.
This assessment provides an opportunity for you to develop a
presentation for a local community organization of your choice, which
provides an overview of ethical standards and relevant policy issues
that affect the coordination of care. Completing this assessment will
strengthen your understanding of ethical issues and policies related to
the coordination and continuum of care, and will empower you to be a
stronger advocate and nursing professional.
It would be an excellent choice to complete the Vila Health: Ethical
Decision Making activity prior to developing the presentation. The
activity provides a helpful update on the ethical principles that will
help with success in this assessment.
Demonstration of Proficiency
By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate
your proficiency in the course competencies through the following
assessment scoring guide criteria:
Competency 4: Defend decisions based on the code of ethics for nursing.

Preparation
Your nurse manager at the community care center is well connected
and frequently speaks to a variety of community organizations and
groups. She has noticed the good work you are doing in your new care
coordination role and respects your speaking and presentation skills.
Consequently, she thought that an opportunity to speak publicly about
contemporary issues in care coordination would be beneficial for your
career and has suggested reaching out to a community organization or
support group to gauge their interest in hearing from you, as a care
center representative, on a topic of interest to both you and your
prospective audience.
You have agreed that this is a good idea and have decided to
research a community organization or support group that might be
interested in learning about ethical and policy issues related to the
coordination of care. Your manager has suggested the following community
organizations and support groups, but acknowledges that the choice is
yours.
Homeless shelters.
Local religious groups.
Nursing homes.
Local community organizations (Rotary Club or Kiwanis Club).
To prepare for this assessment, you may wish to:
Research your selected community organization or support group.
Review the Code of Ethics for Nurses With Interpretive Statements and associated health policy issues, specifically, the ACA.
Review the assessment instructions and scoring guide to ensure you understand the work you will be asked to complete.

What sorts of things does Howard Markel, the author of the third essay, add to the story to make it more interesting and lifelike?

I want you to click on the three links below in order. Each link
will take you to a description of the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, which
took place on April 14, 1865. As you will notice, each article contains a
different level of description, imagery, and dialogue. The final entry, from
the PBS News Hour, is the one you should use as a model for writing your
research paper. Notice how this final entry sets the tone: it begins happily,
which provides contrast to the events that will follow. Notice also the ways in
which it adds details, like the warnings from the presidents staff and,
following, the detail of the drunken bodyguard. Notice how the writer adds the
description of the president and Mrs. Lincoln laughing and holding hands just
as the assassin enters the room. And notice, too, the liberal use of quotations
from those present, which gives the scene a real human touch.
After youve read these short biographies, consider the
following questions for discussion:
1. What sorts of things does Howard
Markel, the author of the third essay, add to the story to make it more
interesting and lifelike?
2. Interestingly, Markels essay focuses
mostly on the experiences of a young doctor. How would the narrative change if
the focus were on one of the other participants in this story, such as John
Wilkes Booth or Major Rathbone?
3. In addition to the ones Ive listed
above, what are some of the descriptive touches that Markel adds to the story
to keep the reader engaged and interested?

Policy Venn Diagram

Instructions The assignment looks at policy through the lens of advocates and the media. For
your policy/problem, research articles written about it and then research
articles written specifically by advocate groups. Articles written about
the policy go on one side, and articles written by advocates go on the
other. In the middle, compare the two and write down the things they have
in common. This is a one-page assignment. There is no paper
component. Here is an example the professor has shared with some of the students in emails: she is interested in the prescription drug prices for older
Americans. she will research articles written about the Medicare
Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003. Then she will research articles written by AARP or Council on Aging about drug
prices. She will compare those articles and include the commonality in the
center of the two sets on the Venn Diagram.

The policy I have and you will be doing the assignment on is The Child Care for Working Families Act. Attached is the venn diagram you will complete the assignment on and an example of a completed version of the assignment.

Apologia Case Study

Assignment Instructions
Background:
Whether its a product recall or malicious behavior by employees, companies are
launching multi-prong responses that make use of the skills and training that
business and technical communicators exemplify.
Unfortunately, there is little information or training available
to business and technical communicators regarding responses to accusations of
wrongdoing (or apologia). Using rhetorical theory to analyze apologetics in
business writing and technical communication will help you gain valuable
practice in conflict communication within a corporate structure.
Assignment:
1. First, take some time to research and
discuss real product recall situations or accusations of wrongdoing in the
news. Look at press releases, corporate websites, and social networking sites
that were/are used by the company to address the situation. You are not
required to chose something healthcare related, although it would be a great
idea!
2. Select a case from the news. Provide a
brief analysis of the situation (including what happened, why it was
perceived as being wrong, and what the companys messaging should be to
overcome the problem).
3. Devise a plan to address the problem/situation using
the corporate website and social networking. Here is an initial list of
questions to help you get started:
o What needs to be communicated?
o How can/should the companys corporate website
be used?
o What role can/should social media play?
o What documents will consumers need to see and
download?
o Is video important? If so, how? To show a CEO
apologize? To demonstrate how to find product numbers and identify recalled
products? To provide instructions for fixing a product defect?
4. Discuss the benefits of your plan for the
customers and for the company.
Example sources (feel free to use or Google
Company product recalls):
(Links to an external
site.)

Mattel: Toy recall (Links to an external site.)

(Links to an external
site.)Baby food recall (Links to an external site.)
Your assignment must include the following:
1. An brief analysis of the situation (1 page):
o Discuss the specific issues
2. Develop a response plan that addresses the
following (2-3 pages):
a. What needs to be communicated?
d. What should the company message be?
f. What are the benefits of your plan for the customers and for the company?
3. Be formatted in APA style with APA in-text and
Reference Citations (no title page is required)
