...with sky-rocketing health care costs, fragmented and poor quality of care, high volume of aging population, and passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) in 2010. A summary of the PPACA is basically to improve the health care delivery system, expand coverage, and control cost (Democratics Senate Gov/Reform, n. d.). With these changes, comes the evolutionary nursing professional transformation process. This speech is a crash course on the evolving practice of nursing and patient care delivery models. The goal of this speech is to discuss the continuity or continuum of care in relation to accountable care organizations, medical homes, and nurse-managed clinics health care models. Since nursing is the backbone of health care, all of these care delivery models require a robust nursing contribution for success (American Nurses Association (ANA), 2010). The first model is the accountable care organizations (ACO). ACOs is a “shared savings” with Medicare (part A & B). The ACO, according to the ANA (2010), is “a collaboration among primary care clinicians, a hospital, specialists and other health professionals who accept joint responsibility for the quality and cost of care provided to its patients” (p. 2). The law in the PPACA gives some room in terms of who “ACO Professionals” can lead the ACO, permitting more nursing leadership participation. For the success of ACOs, the law focuses on seeking the value that is heavily reliant on nursing care and services, therefore...

...The Prospective of Nursing Outline Andreana Bakardzhieva Grand Canyon University: NRS- 440 V February 16, 2014 The prospective of Nursing Outline Nursing plays a specific and vital role in reconstructing and managing the nation’s health and related concerns. Nurses perform frontline duties and are an essential component in the American’s well-being care. Nursing prospective and health care are connected for the time to come. It is substantial to assure health care institutions carry the capacity and work force with proficient abilities to face the present and upcoming requirements (IOM, 2010). The ongoing nursing shortage will affect the way that the organizations will demonstrate unharmed, sufficient care. Nursing deficit presents a serious matter to the safety and satisfaction of health care. Sadly there is an extended remaining list for learners to enter the nursing schools. Also the number of nurse graduates is insufficient for the health care needs (IOM, 2010). This paper will discuss Robert Wood Johnson’s Foundation core, analyze how the institutions are assessing the nursing shortage during the programs and campaigns and effect on the nursing prospective in the nation to find solution for the nursing deficit. The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) concentrates on promoting well-being and addressing the health problems that the nation has to deal with.

...The Importance of Teams Marleana Reed HCS/325 June 17, 2013 Dr. Marie Gagnon The Importance of Teams If positioned properly within the health care industry great advantage and consumer preference is gained to bolster organizational sovereignty. To do so requires a dynamic plan to incorporate competitive systems, and a workforce of concentrated efforts to overshadow all others. “No Man Is an Island.” (John Donne,) This profound statement can serve as thought provoking cohortative where teamwork is cornerstone to the administration of duties, and project management. This paper details the functionality of processes, for effective teamwork. The Collaborative efforts of teams, benefit any organization, and lead to more successes than not. Teaming serves an additional purpose, whereas participants share experiences, learn to accept and appreciate the contributions of others, while gaining a sense of camaraderie. The organizations goal is to stage teams of workgroups throughout its structure for seamless networking among disciplines. These social interactions promote strengths and talents as significant to individuals as the framework of the team itself. As such, encouragement of individuals in team processes is as much a benefit to the participant as for the organization. Successful team members place into the forefront, the objective, in lieu of a self-serving approach to task, working diligently to accomplish the shared goal. The core values of the organization will be...

...Running head: NURSING 1 What is Nursing? Shakira Rideout Keyano College NURSING 2 What is Nursing? In this paper I will identify the fundamental concepts of nursing. In addition, I will recognize how nursing is based on the principles of Primary Health Care (PHC). Further, how the history of nursing has formed nursing today and what it means to be a professional in nursing by incorporating the code of ethics. Fundamentals of Nursing Nursing is a profession that centers on the caring for individuals, as a client, as a family, as a group and as a community so they can achieve, maintain or recover optimal health and quality of life (Burger & Goddard, 2010). I believe that the nursing role is to educate clients by the protection and promotion of general health which is congruent to The American Nurses Association (2007) which defines nursing as; the protection, promotion and optimization of health, prevention of illness, lessening of suffering through diagnoses and treatment and advocating client care for individuals, families, groups and communities (American Nurses Association, 2007). The nursing profession utilizes a system that increases client knowledge about factors that can contribute to overall health and the resources that can increase wellbeing; this is called the Nursing Process. This process is a technique used to assess and diagnose needs, plan and implement interventions, and evaluate the outcomes...

... London, England 5X$ 739 Dear Mr. Mukarjee: I am writing to submit my application for the position of Director of Interfaith Dialogue. I have worked for over forty years in South Africa and England to bring diverse communities together across lines of race, class and religion. During my tenure as Archbishop of Cape Town I provided pastoral care and leadership to people of faith who were working to overturn the evils of apartheid. Once our country dismantled the apartheid system, I worked tirelessly to help poor people in our communities gain the basics of life, including food and medical care. This is when I first had the opportunity to work with Christian Aid. Our collaboration lead to the improvement of thousands of lives. Through this collaboration I managed a $10 million budget and managed a staff of over three hundred people. Since stepping down as Archbishop of Cape Town, I have traveled the world meeting with leaders from many world religions to discuss ways in which people throughout the world can work for peace and a better future. This work has uniquely prepared me for a position like Director of Interfaith Dialogue. My sincere respect for other cultures and religions and my deep engagement with the teachings of Christianity will allow me to fulfill the demands of this important position. I look forward to arranging an interview soon to discuss how I may join your organization and contribute to fulfilling the mission of serving poor...

...concerns expressed by Nurse B. The following are the three interventions that I will speak about: conflict management, role conflict, and striving toward the same goal. In closing I will support the recommended interventions with justification/explanation. A group consists of two or more people who interact with each other and share a common purpose (Erofeev, Glazer, & Ivanitskaya, 2009). A team is a type of group (Erofeev, Glazer, & Ivanitskaya, 2009). Teams are an essential part of any organization, especially within the healthcare organization. Each individual on a team plays a vital role in ensuring that all needs are met, task are completed daily and patients are being cared for properly. Teamwork and collaboration between all health professionals results in high quality clinical care, and increased job satisfaction for staff (Begley, 2009). When team members do not agree on the same goal, conflicts will arise. It is important for healthcare managers to control and management all conflicts within the organization. The key to successful conflict management is for both sides to try and solve the problem instead of trying to prove the other side wrong. In the case study presented, Nurse B voices concerns about working with fellow staff members of the surgical team. The atmosphere and moral for the team is steadily declining. In addition the job satisfaction and passion to go to work has also been impacted. In order for a team to be effective and provide quality...

...Professional Development of Nursing Professionals The Future of Nursing In October of 2010, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) made a press release concerning the release of the report The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health. There are over three million nurses making up the largest sector of healthcare. While nurses spend the greatest number of hours providing patient care, nursing as a profession has a great impact to contribute as partners with other health care professionals in improving the quality and safety of care as envisioned in the Affordable Care Act (ACA) (Institute of medicine, 2010). Three of the key topics discussed in the report are the IOM’s impact on nursing education, nursing practice and the nurse’s role as a leader. The impact of the IOM report on nursing education The key message of chapter four, Transforming Education of the IOM report simply states that nurses should achieve higher education. They should accomplish this through an improved education system that makes is a smooth transition. There have been many changes in the U.S. health care system. With these changes, the report suggests that to be able to accommodate the changes nursing education must improve as well. Nursing education should just not stop when one passes the NCLEX exam. Nursing education should be a lifelong process of continuing education. The associate degree programs were developed in the past to attract more nurses during the nursing shortage. Today...

Birmingham 27th-28th January 2005 The Competencies for Next Generation Employability Eamonn McQuade, Deirdre Hogan, John O’Donoghue, Theresa Maguire, Eamonn Murphy. Programme for the University Industry Interface, University of Limerick Conference Theme 3: Working with employers Abstract It is generally accepted that employees will need to broaden their knowledge, skills and competencies through a lifetime of learning if they are to remain employable, and if enterprises are to maintain their competitiveness in a knowledge-based global economy. However, identifying and developing skills and competencies for next generation employability in Ireland is a challenging task. The Programme for University Industry Interface (PUII) is an action research project, established in 2003, to determine the skills and competencies required by Irish Industry and to develop learning models that will facilitate their delivery. This paper presents the outcomes of an action research methodology based on a Community of Practice model (COP), which addressed the issues surrounding competencies for next generation employability. It proposes a competency framework which integrates the four key categories of skills: Business, Technical, Interpersonal, Intrapersonal, and presents a set of recommendations...
