/in /by

The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (C.M.S.) began phasing in its value-based purchasing program in 2007. Value based purchasing links payment directly to the quality of care provided. It is one strategy being used by C.M.S. to transform the current payment system by rewarding providers for delivering high quality, efficient clinical care.

There are three aspects to the program: patient experience, hospital-acquired conditions and achievement of expected treatment for specific clinical diagnoses.

Select one of the following hospital-acquired conditions:

1. Surgical site infection

2. Pressure Ulcers

3. Catheter-associated urinary tract infections

4. Harm related to falls

For your Final Paper:

1. Include a brief discussion of the chosen hospital-acquired condition and why it is considered preventable.

2. Explain the legal implications related to a patient developing the condition and the role that disclosure plays.

3. Describe accreditation expectations related to this condition.

2. Why might a healthcare provider be reluctant to discuss the development of this condition with the patient and family?

3. What are the potential ramifications of not discussing the development of this condition with the patient and family?

4. How might members of the healthcare team present this information to the patient and family?

5. What, if any, is the link between disclosure and litigation?

Accreditation expectations:

1. The Joint Commission accredits 82{0e601fc7fe3603dc36f9ca2f49ef4cd268b5950ef1bbcf1f795cc00e94cdd119} of the hospitals in the United States. (Sollecito & Johnson, 2013, p. 516).

2. What expectations does the Joint Commission have with regards to the condition you selected?

3. How is it assessed by surveyors during an accreditation survey?

Outcomes related to cost and quality:

1. What continuous quality improvement strategies might you use to involve members of the healthcare team in planning and implementing improvements related to this issue?

2. Provide examples for each of the following performance improvement levels: localized improvement, organizational learning, process reengineering, and evidence-based medicine. (Refer to page 5 in your text if needed.)

3. What role does education, research, collaboration, information technology, leadership, and teamwork play in addressing this issue?

4. Of the strategies listed which one do you believe would generate the best outcomes and cost the least to implement? Explain your opinion.

What are potency and efficacy, and how are they different?

Addiction m2a1 discussion

Potency and efficacy are two of the most misunderstood concepts in the area of drug use. Many overdoses occur because the potency of the newly purchased drug is higher than that of the previously used drug. These concepts apply to drugs of abuse as well as over-the-counter medications.

Steven has a headache. He reaches for some pain relievers in his medicine cabinet. He finds two bottles: acetaminophen (325 mg) and ibuprofen (200 mg). The instructions for the acetaminophen say take 2 tablets
(650 mg total). The instructions for the ibuprofen say take 2 tablets (400 mg total). Steven assumes that because the dose is higher for the acetaminophen, it must work better.

To assist Steven with making an educated decision about which medication to take, complete the following:

  • What are potency and efficacy, and how are they different?
  • What other factors might influence Steven’s decision?

Write your initial response in 200-300  words. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.

In this assignment, please consider the meanings of and differences in the concepts of potency and efficacy. Use scholarly definitions of both terms, cited and referenced using APA, as you address the required elements of this discussion. Remember, potency is about strength, and efficacy is about effect. Use your text and information on this site. There is an interesting slide presentation created by the American Society for Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics (n.d.) for more technical information!

While you write this discussion, you might want to consider any personal experiences you or loved ones have had. Please feel free to share these experiences if you would like!
