According to ANA, no single staffing model—patient acuity, budget-based, or nurse-patient ratio—is best for all settings and situations. Most organizations use a combination of methods and tailor the overall staffing approach to their specific needs. 

Respond to at least 1 of the following prompts:

1. What staffing model is implemented at the facility where you work?  What would you recommend for modifying the staffing model where you work, what is you recommendation based on and how would you implement the change?  (Support your thoughts/ideas with academic literature OR required readings) 

2. There are in existence nursing-sensitive indicators affected by staffing.  Can you suggest another nursing-sensitive indicator not being measured that might affect staffing?  What would be the indicator and how would you measure the indicator?  (Support your thoughts/ideas with academic literature OR required readings) 

3. Understanding others’ roles provides insight into who can best perform a particular task and how it could be redesigned to be more efficient and effective. How would delegation have a positive effect on staffing?  (Support your thoughts/ideas with academic literature OR required readings) .  Please look at the Florida Nurse Practice Act to verify what roles the RN MUST perform by law.

Week 3 – Assignment: Individualize the Role of Stakeholders' Contribution to Healthcare Quality Performance Measures

As a leader in the healthcare field, the assurance of delivering quality health care will remain an important aspect of your work. To understand the organization's performance and its impact on clinical quality and financial stability, in this week's assignment, you will examine and interpret performance measures using the Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) survey results as they relate to patient satisfaction and promote stakeholder confidence in the organization.

There are multiple factors that contribute to healthcare quality and financial stability including the actions of key healthcare stakeholders. Begin your assignment by taking the following steps: 

1. Download the table below from your Weekly Resources to draft the contribution each stakeholder has in healthcare quality and the financial impact on the organization through your research. In the table, write a synopsis of 150-250 words for each stakeholder as it relates to their role. Remember Deming's words that quality is the responsibility of everyone. Be sure to include in your discussion the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) patient satisfaction survey when you are completing your table.    

2. Once you have completed your table, you will use either
Kaltura Capture to create a videotaped PowerPoint presentation or create a voice-over PowerPoint presentation (with speaker notes)  using the information contained in your table. Each stakeholder will be on a separate slide and your 150-250 synopsis on each stakeholder from your table will be placed in the Speaker Notes on each slide. If you do not wish to be video-taped, you may use the audio recorder in the PowerPoint program instead of
Kaltura Capture.  
( I GOT THE VIDEO AUDIO PORTION)

Your role in your PowerPoint presentation is that of a hospital health administrator who is briefing your hospital board of trustees on the contribution of each stakeholder in assuring quality measures and financial stability in your hospital.  

Length: A minimum of 10 slides in your Voice-Over PowerPoint presentation, not including the title slide and reference slide. Each slide will depict a single stakeholder and will have 150-250-word synopsis in the Speaker Notes.

Include a minimum of 3 peer-reviewed resources. Other scholarly and credible sources may also be used as supplemental support.

Week 3

EHRs Benefits and Drawbacks

Preparing the Discussion

Post a written response in the discussion forum to EACH threaded discussion topic:

1. As discussed in the lesson and assigned reading for this week, EHRs provide both benefits and drawbacks. Create a “Pros” versus “Cons” table and include at least 3 items for each list. Next to each item, provide a brief rationale as to why you selected to include it on the respective list.

2. Refer to the Stage 3 objectives for Meaningful Use located in this week’s lesson under the heading Meaningful Use and the HITECH Act. Select two objectives to research further. In your own words, provide a brief discussion as to how the objective may impact your role as an APN in clinical practice.  

Adhere to the following guidelines regarding quality for the threaded discussions in Canvas:

· Application of Course Knowledge: Demonstrate the ability to analyze, synthesize, and/or apply principles and concepts learned in the course lesson and outside readings.

· Scholarliness and Scholarly Sources: Demonstrates achievement of scholarly inquiry for professional and academic decisions using valid, relevant, and reliable outside scholarly source to contribute to the discussion thread. 

· Writing Mechanics: Grammar, spelling, syntax, and punctuation are accurate. In-text and reference citations should be formatted using correct APA guidelines.

· Direct Quotes: Good writing calls for the limited use of direct quotes. Direct quotes in discussions are to be limited to one short quotation (not to exceed 15 words). The quote must add substantively to the discussion. Points will be deducted under the grammar, syntax, APA category. 

For each threaded discussion per week, the student will select no less than TWO scholarly sources to support the initial discussion post.

Scholarly Sources: Only scholarly sources are acceptable for citation and reference in this course. These include peer-reviewed publications, government reports, or sources written by a professional or scholar in the field. The textbooks and lessons are NOT considered to be outside scholarly sources. For the threaded discussions and reflection posts, reputable internet sources such as websites by government agencies (URL ends in .gov) and respected organizations (often ends in .org) can be counted as scholarly sources. The best outside scholarly source to use is a peer-reviewed nursing journal.  You are encouraged to use the Chamberlain library and search one of the available databases for a peer-reviewed journal article.  The following sources should not be used: Wikipedia, Wikis, or blogs.  These websites are not considered scholarly as anyone can add to these. Please be aware that .com websites can vary in scholarship and quality.  For example, the American Heart Association is a .com site with scholarship and quality.  It is the responsibility of the student to determine the scholarship and quality of any .com site.  Ask your instructor before using any site if you are unsure. Points will be deducted from the rubric if the site does not demonstrate scholarship or quality. Current outside scholarly sources must be published with the last 5 years.  Instructor permission must be obtained BEFORE the assignment is due if using a source that is older than 5 years.
