THE CONFLICT
The current conflict involves two individuals, Kimberly and Jade. Kimberly is a nurse and Jade is a nurse manager. The conflict is based on individual matters and involves the problem of role assignment within the professional medical setting. The conflict originated two weeks ago and developed at a fast pace. Therefore, I believe that several crucial steps should be taken to mitigate the effects of this conflict and adverse outcomes characteristic of the role conflict. This paper dwells on the details of the conflict between Kimberly and Jade and describes the stages of the conflict. I review several conflict resolution strategies that can be used in this situation and pick the best one based on the available evidence. In the end, I reach the verdict concerning the overall complexity and impact of the conflict in the nursing environment.
Details of the Conflict
The background of the conflict involves several situations where Kimberly allegedly took on the role of the nurse manager without Jade knowing it. Overall, the relations between the two were not perfect, and Kimberly’s behavior and choice of words had a substantial impact on the situation. Jade did not know that Kimberly played the role of the nurse manager at the facility in her absence and did not expect that anyone would behave so unprofessionally. Kimberly made some questionable decisions and talked to other employees at the hospital rudely. She said inappropriate things to her colleagues and even several patients. It is also important to mention Jade’s attitude as she decided to resolve the conflict in a peaceful manner even though she was very unpleased with how things were going.
Stages of the Conflict
If we divide the conflict into stages, there will be six key stages that Kimberly and Jade’s conflict will go through. First, it is the transition from the latent conflict to the conflict emergence (which has already happened). Second, the nurse and the nurse manager went through the escalation of the conflict due to the misunderstanding between the two and Kimberly’s inappropriate behavior. The third stage is called the stalemate. Jade was hurt by Kimberly’s individual and professional decisions which resulted in the climax of the conflict. The fourth stage of the conflict is the period of negotiation. Despite everything, Jade chose to resolve the issue and go on. The two last stages are dispute settlement and peacebuilding which happens after the conflict is over. I believe that the current conflict between the nurse and the nurse manager will end peacefully, but most probably a disciplinary action will be taken against Kimberly.

TOPIC IS .. Pet therapy and Mental Health

This is an assignment for the Occupational Therapy master class. We must create a treatment plan and a handout for a patient diagnosed with brachial plexus. I used canva.com in the past for the handout, but you can do it! The professor wants the handout to have pictures and colors

This assessment is based on the following scenario:
Patient scenario: Your office is seeing a new patient for the first time (new patient consults are $500).
In your role as the reimbursement specialist for a large primary care office, outline the different reimbursement options to which the practice is subject for the providers in the group.
Use the Reimbursement Options Template [DOCX] Download Reimbursement Options Template [DOCX]to help structure your assessment. Support your assertions with at least three academic sources. This may require you to do additional independent research. 
This assessment has two parts.
Part 1: Provider Reimbursement Options
Present (at least) the four main reimbursement options that your provider in the scenario would likely have for a new patient consult. Describe the options and comment on potential drawbacks or additional considerations to take into account with each model. Also, consider the likelihood and challenges of recouping the entirety of the consult charges for the patient.
Relevant scoring guide criteria:
Describe drawbacks of the fee-for-service reimbursement model.
“Describe” means to give an account in words of (someone or something), including all the relevant characteristics, qualities, or events.
Describe drawbacks of the capitation reimbursement model as it relates to providing comprehensive services.
Describe how pay-for-performance impacts reimbursement rates.
Describe how resource-based relative value scale or case-based payment encourage an overuse of services.
Adhere to the rules of grammar, usage, and mechanics.
“Grammar” refers to the basic rules for how sentences are constructed and how words combine to make sentences (for example, word order, case, and tense).
“Usage” refers to correct word choice and phrasing, particularly with regard to the meanings of words and phrases.
“Mechanics” refers to correct use of capitalization, punctuation, and spelling.
Apply APA formatting to in-text citations and references.
Be sure to include a separate references page.
One potential way to organize this part would be as follows:
Fee-for-service.
What is it?
Consider health care spending and cost control; what are the drawbacks of this model?
Capitation.
What is it?
What are the potential drawbacks of this model for the physicians who are driven to provide comprehensive services to their patients?
Pay for performance.
What is it?
How does this model impact reimbursement rates?
Resource-based relative value scale or case-based payment.
What is it?
How can this model potentially encourage an overuse of services?
Part 2: Payment Options for Uninsured Patients
Identify and explain the potential payment options that would be available to the patient and your care provider if the patient in for the new patient consult had been uninsured. Also, be sure to discuss the ways that a patient could qualify for specific payment options, as well as the rationale for the associated appointment charge.
Relevant scoring guide criteria:
Describe payment options for uninsured patients, including how the patient would qualify for each option.
Adhere to the rules of grammar, usage, and mechanics.
Apply APA formatting to in-text citations and references.
One potential way to organize this part would be:
Medicaid.
How does the patient qualify?
Financing options.
What is this method?
Self-pay.
How would the patient be charged? A percentage of commercial contracts or a percentage of Medicare?
Charity care.
How would you screen a patient for charity care?
What process would you implement to qualify a patient for charity care?

“Please note I have attached the template that must be used for the assessment”

Three interconnected parts/steps (think of the following as a rough outline):
(1) Introduce, briefly: philosophers, texts, and topic to be discussed, AND your thesis (i.e., your view of the good life in relation to Russell’s).
(2) Explain and analyze Bertrand Russell’s conception of the good life (though he calls it happiness) and connect his conception with two other philosophers we have read since the last paper, including either Simone de Beauvoir or Nell Noddings).  Introduce the other philosophers to explain or critique Russell or, later, to begin to develop your thesis.
(3) Explain as your thesis–as stated at the start of your paper– whether you agree/disagree with Russell and why? You have a lot of leeway here to state, clarify, and give reasons for your own views on the good life, so far.
Remember to give reasons in your explanation and analysis.  If you say you think/believe X, then continue: “I think X, because…” And when you give your reasons, then also imagine, as a way to develop your thinking through a dialog, how any of the other philosophers you are discussing might respond. 
Papers must be submitted in Canvas. No email submissions accepted.
LENGTH: 3 pages (no more, no less). No late papers, unless you talk to me in advance with a documentable excuse.
Please do not visit or rely on any secondary source, in print or online, as this is not a research paper but a philosophical paper for you to develop your own ideas. Using outside sources is unacceptable

Background
A Health Informatics Exchange (HIE) analytics plan that highlights opportunities to inform evidence-based care can be an effective approach to demonstrate the HIE’s role in enabling a learning health system model. This can build a compelling case for its value and support of financial investments. Consider local benefits associated with consolidating clinical data from connected healthcare organizations. For example, detecting patients with gaps in care, analyzing medication adherence patterns, and identifying at-risk populations can feed into clinical decision support tools and enable providers to take data-driven actions that improve patient outcomes. Over time, analysis of aggregated HIE data might also reveal care patterns and outcomes associated with different treatment protocols. This real-world evidence can inform the development of updated clinical practice guidelines and recommendations. Improved clinical recommendations and decision making enabled by HIE analytics can lead to higher quality care and better health outcomes. This demonstrates the HIE’s return on investment and can make a compelling case for sustained funding and support. Instructions
Choose a chronic disease impacting the population of your state and compose 3 to 4 page analytics plan detailing how a hypothetical HIE hub could be leveraged to build a module advancing related patient care and/or validating evidence-based clinical recommendations. Length: This assignment must be 4-4pages (excluding the title and reference pages). References: Include 5 scholarly resources. Additional Resources
