different levels of Kohlberg’s model of moral reasoning,

/in /by

Create a diagram that shows how the different levels of Kohlberg’s model of moral reasoning, Shweder’s different codes of ethics, and the five different moral intuitions are related to each other. An orthodox religious adherent is debating with a progressive religious adherent about abortion. They each provide a certain number of justifications for their perspectives. In the space below, for each religious adherent, graph out how many statements one would expect to correspond to each moral intuition based on the relationship between codes of ethics and moral intuitions. 250 words

Case 18 Stents VS Bypass: Expanding the Evidence BaseThis case is intended to focus your thoughts on the nature of scientific evidence in health care both in terms of stability and strength of evidence. Continuous clinical quality improvement will have to take into account the changing nature of the evidence, the importance of learning-by-doing, and the adjustments that need to be made to individual patient differences including comorbidity and genetic variability in responses to treatment. Almost any given set of evidence can be interpreted in multiple ways. As we strive for improved clinical performance, these will be key variables and frequent distractions to our efforts to win over the professionals and the public. Remember that the development of new types of stents has continued as well. However, we cannot ignore the importance of learning-by-doing along with our concerns about the influences of economic rewards and the influences of vendors on clinical choices.This brief case has many twists and turns. The hospital is a large community hospital, but one of the Top 100 in cardiac care according to Solucient. There is a stent maker in Elyria and the hospital staff is associated with published research. The comparative analysis of frequencies of interventions is based on the Dartmouth Atlas which has been involved in a number of controversial debates, include the conclusions about care in McAllen, Texas in the New Yorker by A. Gawande. But the debate between using stents versus angioplasty continues to rage on and is argued in many major studies. Thus, the case has two stages. The first is one of small area variations. The second pertains to how strong and definitive data has to be before change can reasonably be expected. A third issue is one of organizational learning that might take place when a particular technique is used intensively by a large practice.CASE 20: THE HOUSTON MEDICAL CENTER BED TOWER: QUALITY AND THE BUILT ENVIRONMENTThe need for healthcare facilities designed for safety and improved working conditions for health providers are resulting in new types of space. There are many ways that the planning and design processes can be improved. Often the built environment is a process constraint that is hard to remove without major capital expenditures. This case illustrates that the use of process analysis and process-improvement techniques not often cited in the healthcare literature, such as time and distance layout studies and computer simulations to analyze the impact of alternative designs that cannot be tested directly in the work setting. Such techniques borrowed from industrial engineering, management science, or systems analysis offer important gains for transforming healthcare settings and enhancing the safety of patients and the well-being of providers.

This week’s topic: Cases 9 and 16 and Social Marketing

The reading assignment for Week 2 included Case 9, a case that introduced the concepts of social marketing and relates it to the issues around the Safe Surgery Saves Lives checklist. It illustrates the checklist’s reception in the working environment, which is peopled by very busy and resource-constrained healthcare professionals. It also introduces the fact that there are broad and powerful movements aimed at improving quality as well as local teams, but it raises some questions about whether knowledge and societal encouragement are sufficient to generate procedural and behavioral changes.

In your initial post, compare Case 9 to Case 16, a case that resulted in a legislative change requested by an advocacy group after a fatal event. In this instance, the family is looking to effect change via the political process. However, this approach is rarely successful.

Do you think the concepts of social marketing could be used in this instance or one like it?

 Focused Child Study

/in /by

Attached to this question is a sample of the anecdote child paper as well as the form.

1. Focused Child Study (PLO 1, 6, 7):

Knowing your infants and toddlers and properly planning for their development starts with observing them. You will collect anecdotes, analyze 5 anecdotes while observing one child and plan for that child’s development, and then summarize what you learned. (See instructions below and in the assignment for this study). Please make sure that you are collecting 5 anecdotes from the same child. See the rubric on moodle. This assignment has been separated and each part explained below with corresponding possible points.

a. Collect 5 anecdotes on one infant or toddler under the age of 2 years and 6 months. Make sure that you get different anecdotes and not all the same (e.g., all art, or all language). If you do not currently work directly with children, find a child (e.g., relatives, neighbors, church children, etc.) but they need to be under 2 1/2 years old. (Forms are provided in the file named “Anecdote Form”). If finding an infant or toddler to observe presents a challenge, please contact me directly so we may brainstorm alternatives (e.g., asking family/friends to send video clips of an infant/toddler or relying on memories from working with a child) (15 pts).

b. Categorize the anecdotes according to child development based on the Milestones presented in Chapter’s 5-7 Infants and Children Prenatal Through Middle Childhood and pp 282-283 (10 pts).

c. Then use those 5 anecdotes to complete a detailed analysis of each. Each anecdote should be written in paragraph form that includes (i-iii) below along with planning for that child’s development. What did you learn about this child from these anecdotes? Each anecdote should include the following: (20 pts.)

i. Include the specific development (e.g., Milestones presented in Chapter’s 5-7)

ii. Why is this anecdote significant to this child’s development? Why did you choose it?

iii. Now that you have an idea of the interests, needs and strengths of the child(ren) you observed, based on the 5 anecdotes that you chose, for each one plan an activity that you would do with this child to support his/her development and/or what materials would you use with that child to support his/her development.

d. Connect the observations with theory (Piaget, Vygotsky, etc.) from chapter 1. Compare and contrast how two or more theorists would interpret your observations of the child. You are to consider the theorist’s views on the domains of development and their views in terms of the basic issues. Discuss how the theorist(s) support or connect your anecdote to development. You must support all theory references with an APA reference citation to your textbook complete with page number. (15 points)

e. Write a summary of why teachers (or another profession) should observe infants and toddlers and what you learned from doing this assignment. (5 pts)

f. Grammar, writing & APA formatting. Paper should have a title page, formatted according to APA specifications, utilize proper APA in text citations and have a corresponding reference page formatted in APA style. (15 pts)

existing risk management and patient safety plan of a facility of your choice, and then assess its components in light of the background readings

/in /by

BACKGROUND: Given that each health care system and facility faces unique site-specific risk challenges, a one-size-fits-all model does not exist in risk management. Health care managers must consider all aspects of their setting very carefully in terms of patient safety, mandatory regulations, potential medical errors in the setting, existing and future policies/procedures, as well as current and upcoming legislative acts that affect health care provision in the setting.

This module’s Case Assignment challenges you to locate and read an existing risk management and patient safety plan of a facility of your choice, and then assess its components in light of the background readings.

ASSIGNMENT: Using the information in the required readings as well as some additional research in peer-reviewed sources, complete your Case Assignment by answering the following:

1. Choose a health care facility (hospital, physician’s office, freestanding ambulatory clinic, etc.), and summarize each category of its risk management and patient safety plan. This can be your current or future-intended setting, or a facility that you locate through some research online. What is defined/included in the components of the plan? Who are the stakeholders responsible for the implementation of each component?

2. Are the directives stated by the American Society for Health Care Risk Management followed in the plan? If not, what seems to be missing?

3. What could be added/clarified in the plan’s policies and/or procedures to either further prevent risk or enhance patient safety? Be as specific as you can in your assessment.

4. Does the facility have a dedicated Patient Safety Officer (PSO)? What is the role and scope of a PSO’s daily wor

Case 14 – Continuous Improvement for the NHS Quality and Outcomes Framework

As more and more payers focus on measuring and rewarding performance, issues arise about how to use that process to motivate continuous quality improvement. The National Health Services has had the world’s largest implementation of pay-for-performance. General practitioners have responded rapidly to the incentives, driving most values rapidly toward their maxima. This case considers how the U.K. has addressed this “now what” question. This is a political environment, so the pacing and the apparent fairness and rationality of this process of continually raising the bar are very important to continued success.This case gives insight into the functioning of the National Health Service in the U.K. as well as the role of NICE as a mechanism for forcing quality improvement. It also provides insight into some of the practical issues of implementing, maintaining and improving a pay-for-performance approach to primary care. Keep in mind that primary care physicians are comparatively better off when compared to the specialists and hospitals than they are in the United States. Each patient is assigned a medical home and electronic medical records are readily available to both physician and payer. Discuss the following:1. What do you consider to be the key issues for quality improvement in the NHS quality-improvement program as it goes forward?2. What do you consider to be the strengths and weaknesses of the effort to improve the development of QOF indicators over the next couple of years?
