  • “Integration of Nurse Practitioner Competencies in Contemporary Healthcare Practice”

    Resourses must be less than 5 years old peer reviewed and evidence based.
    The National Organization of Nurse Practitioner Faculties (NONPF) has determined nine broad areas of core competence that apply to all nurse practitioners, regardless of specialty or patient population focus. NONPF created the first set of Nurse Practitioner Competencies in 1990; the most recent updates were incorporated in 2017. This course was designed to prepare you to synthesize knowledge gained throughout the program and to apply each of the nine core competencies within your selected areas of practice and your representative communities.
    The nine areas of competency are:
    Scientific Foundations
    Leadership
    Quality
    Practice Inquiry
    Technology and Information Literacy
    Policy
    Health Delivery System
    Ethics
    Independent Practice

  • Title: HIPAA and Appropriate Social Media Use in Healthcare: An Interprofessional Staff Update

    Prepare a 2 page interprofessional staff update on HIPAA and appropriate social media use in health care.
    First, select one of the health care settings described in the following resource:
    Assessment 02 Supplement: Protected Health Information [PDF]Download Assessment 02 Supplement: Protected Health Information [PDF]
    As a nurse in this setting, you are asked to create the content for a staff update containing a maximum of two content pages that address one or more of these topics:
    Social media best practices.
    What not to do: social media.
    Social media risks to patient information.
    Steps to take if a breach occurs.
    This assessment is not a traditional essay. It is a staff educational update about PHI.Consider creating a flyer, pamphlet, or one PowerPoint slide (not an entire presentation). Remember it should not be more than two pages (excluding a title and a reference page).
    The task force has asked team members assigned to the topics to include the following content in their updates in addition to content on their selected topics:
    What is protected health information (PHI)?
    Be sure to include essential HIPAA information.
    What are privacy, security, and confidentiality?
    Define and provide examples of privacy, security, and confidentiality concerns related to the use of technology in health care.
    Explain the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration to safeguard sensitive electronic health information.
    What evidence relating to social media usage and PHI do interprofessional team members need to be aware of? For example:
    What are some examples of nurses being terminated for inappropriate social media use in the United States?
    What types of sanctions have health care organizations imposed on interdisciplinary team members who have violated social media policies?
    What have been the financial penalties assessed against health care organizations for inappropriate social media use?
    What evidence-based strategies have health care organizations employed to prevent or reduce confidentiality, privacy, and security breaches, particularly related to social media usage?
    Notes
    Your staff update is limited to two double-spaced content pages. Be selective about the content you choose to include in your update so you can meet the page length requirement. Include need-to-know information. Omit nice-to-know information.
    Many times people do not read staff updates, do not read them carefully, or do not read them to the end. Ensure your staff update piques staff members’ interest, highlights key points, and is easy to read. Avoid overcrowding the update with too much content.
    Also, supply a separate reference page that includes two or three peer-reviewed and one or two non-peer-reviewed resources (for a total of 3–5 resources) to support the staff update content.

  • Part 1: Promoting Quality and Safety Through QSEN Competencies and Systems Thinking Part 2: The Role and Impact of the Food and Drug Administration on Healthcare Quality and Safety

    Part 1: QSEN Institute
    As we have discussed previously in your program, the Quality and Safety Education for Nurses (QSEN) Institute looks to improve the quality and safety of patient care through education.
    Review the QSEN Competencies to remind yourself about how they drive quality by explaining the knowledge, skills, and attitudes nurses need to thrive in a changing healthcare environment. Download the PDF file from the library; it is easier to read, and you can review the tables.
    Look at Table 2 in “Quality and Safety Education for Nurses (QSEN): The Key Is Systems Thinking” from this week’s University Library Resources. As you review the table, consider the following question:
    • Provide a brief explanation of QSEN competencies. How is the systems thinking in the article linked to the work of regulators and accreditors to drive quality and safety?
    • Using the QSEN competencies (Table 2), select two competencies and provide examples of how to promote systems thinking to a group of experienced nurses.
    • Using the QSEN competencies (Table 2), select two competencies and provide examples of how to promote systems thinking to novice nurses with minimal experience.
    Summarize your answer in 350 words.
    Part 2:
    This assignment is designed to give you a greater understanding of regulatory agencies and accreditation bodies, including their functions, public reporting requirements, and how they impact quality and safety. This will help you to recognize how different bodies collaborate for optimum functioning.
    Select and evaluate a regulatory agency or accrediting body (I chose the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
    Discuss the history of the agency or body.
    Explain the reason for its existence.

  • Title: The Impact of Magnet Recognition on Organizational Effectiveness and Individual Performance in Healthcare Settings In recent years, the concept of Magnet recognition has gained significant attention in the healthcare industry. This recognition is given to hospitals that demonstrate excellence in nursing practice

    Within the Discussion Board area, write 300–500 words that respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. This will be the foundation for future discussions by your classmates. You are required to use 2 scholarly resources in addition to your textbook. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas.
    Many hospitals have achieved Magnet® recognition through the adoption of standards to recognize nursing excellence in the organization. The American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) accredits these organizations and has identified five model components and forces of magnetism. These are the following (ANCC, n.d.):
    Transformational leadership 
    Structural empowerment 
    Exemplary professional practice 
    New knowledge, innovation, and improvements 
    Empirical quality outcomes
    The 14 forces of magnetism correlate with the Institute of Medicine’s (IoM) competencies and the Quality and Safety Education for Nurses (QSEN) competencies. These forces are as follows (ANCC, n.d.): 
    Quality of nursing leadership 
    Organizational structure 
    Management style 
    Personnel policies and programs 
    Professional models of care 
    Quality of care 
    Quality improvement 
    Consultation and resources 
    Autonomy 
    Community and health care organization 
    Nurses as teachers 
    Image of nursing 
    Interdisciplinary relationships 
    Professional development 
    Complete the following for this assignment:
    Identify 3 of these forces of magnetism, and discuss why these 3 are the most important forces or characteristics that optimize system effectiveness in your organization and your individual performance within an organization.
