The Assignment
Examine Case Study: A Young Caucasian Girl With ADHD You will be asked to make three decisions concerning the medication to prescribe to this client. Be sure to consider factors that might impact the client’s pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic processes.
I want you to answer the questions given to you (decision points one, two, and three) before you click on the option. The answers will be based on your decisions made and patient outcomes during the decision tree. I am looking for an essay that is long enough to cover the topic BUT short enough to keep my interest. The course page suggests writing 1 page per decision – my opinion is that it will be very difficult to justify your treatment decisions and provide scientific evidence in 1 page (especially for decision #1). I do not need you to tell me about the patient or the treatment options available to you – I am very familiar with the cases. Your introductory page should be an overview of the disease state you are treating along with a purpose statement for the assignment. Remember this is a Pharmacology class that incorporates Pharmacotherapy and not a class on diagnosing disease. I want you to tell me why you selected an option (why is it the best option- using clinically relevant and patient specific data) AND why you did not choose the other options (with clinically relevant and patient specific data).
Introduction to the case (1 page)
Briefly explain and summarize the disease state you are treating this Assignment. Be sure to include the specific patient factors that may impact your decision making when prescribing medication for this patient.
Decision #1 (1.5+ pages)
Which decision did you select?
Why did you select this decision? Be specific and support your response with clinically relevant and patient-specific resources, including the primary literature. Again, provide STRONG scientific evidence. Clinical studies or treatment guidelines are a good place to start!
Why did you not select the other two options provided in the exercise? Be specific and support your response with clinically relevant and patient-specific resources, including the primary literature. You should provide me with a clear understanding of the stimulant vs. non-stimulant clinical decision you’ve made. Be sure to cite specific guidelines for pediatric ADHD.
What were you hoping to achieve by making this decision? Support your response with evidence and references to the Learning Resources (including the primary literature).
Explain how ethical considerations may impact your treatment plan and communication with patients. Be specific and provide examples.
Decision #2 (1 page)
Why did you select this decision? Be specific and support your response with clinically relevant and patient-specific resources, including the primary literature. Again, provide STRONG scientific evidence. Clinical studies or treatment guidelines are a good place to start!
Why did you not select the other two options provided in the exercise? Be specific and support your response with clinically relevant and patient-specific resources, including the primary literature.
What were you hoping to achieve by making this decision? Support your response with evidence and references to the Learning Resources (including the primary literature).
Explain how ethical considerations may impact your treatment plan and communication with patients. Be specific and provide examples.
Decision #3 (1 page)
Why did you select this decision? Be specific and support your response with clinically relevant and patient-specific resources, including the primary literature.
Why did you not select the other two options provided in the exercise? Be specific and support your response with clinically relevant and patient-specific resources, including the primary literature. Again, provide STRONG scientific evidence. Clinical studies or treatment guidelines are a good place to start!
What were you hoping to achieve by making this decision? Support your response with evidence and references to the Learning Resources (including the primary literature).
Explain how ethical considerations may impact your treatment plan and communication with patients. Be specific and provide examples.
Conclusion (1 page)
Summarize your recommendations on the treatment options you selected for this patient. Be sure to justify your recommendations and support your response with clinically relevant and patient-specific resources, including the primary literature.
After writing up your rationale at each decision point, I would ask yourself the following questions:
Have I provided clinical data from a meta-analysis, case report or clinical trial to support the drug I picked being safe, efficacious and the best choice for this patient?
Have I provided clinical data, etc. to support a clear rationale as to why the other treatment options are NOT optimal?
Is the focus of my discussion on mechanism of action and receptors/neurotransmitters that the drug acts on? If the answer is YES, you should consider doing additional research to address the above two questions
Also include how ethical considerations might impact your treatment plan and communication with clients.
The rubric, as I interpret it, suggests 5 references cited with every assignment for full credit on this portion (20 points). References used for your introductory paragraph, ethical considerations or conclusion do not count towards the 5 references required. As a general rule of thumb, I would encourage you to reference AT LEAST two sources (not including the textbook) for each decision point – this will result in 6 references total for your clinical decision making.

– What role has the federal government played in the establishment of healthcare reform, pricing and pricing structure stability, and healthcare cost reduction?
-What role has your local/state government played in the establishment of healthcare reform, pricing and pricing structure stability, and healthcare cost reduction? Any local initiatives?
Be sure to include how pricing/fees are set for different entity types, i.e. hospitals, surgery centers, physician offices, etc. are established and by whom. Are there defined time frames in which to review and adjust pricing/fees? If so-by whom?
The incorporation of real world application (examples) is also required.
Look through history of reform and locate and discuss at least one other plan, outside of the Affordable Care Act–
that was discussed and bypassed
that never made it to the table for review
***Use support from at least three reputable Healthcare sources (other than course materials), i.e. Course reading, professional association Web-based materials, and/or professional or peer-reviewed journal articles written in the last five years are required as sources.
***USE SIMPLE WORDS

Module #2: Discussion – Group Activity -The Joint Commission
No unread replies. No replies.
Group activity – The Joint Commission (TJC)
This is a real life scenario: The Regulatory Compliance Department has been informed that your hospital is anticipating an unannounced visit from TJC within the next three months. It is unlikely, however it is possible, that visit could happen tomorrow. In response, a triage team has been assembled to immediately refresh their prior review of TJC top priorities and notify the stakeholder(s) and the operational teams in order to prepare for an unannounced visit. Logistics:
You have been randomly assigned to a group for this activity and it will be posted here as well as in an Announcement. The focus of your work will be TJC’s current top four priorities during hospital accreditation survey activity. Your group is assigned one of TJC’s four priorities (two groups for each priority). Each team has a leader; the only additional responsibility of the leader is to post the group response in the discussion forum. If you need to swap team leaders, you may do so. Group 6: Suicide Prevention
Leader: Mary McNichol
