· Describe the selected problem from two of the three systems levels (micro-, meso-, and macro).

The selected problem I would like to discuss currently affects the microsystem and the mesosystem level. I work in a pediatric gastroenterology clinic that has 9 attending physicians, 3 fellows, 1 NP, and 4 nurses. Currently we have clinic Monday-Friday with many satellite clinics, about 85 percent of patients get blood work done outside our facility. Our lab slip currently states to fax results to providers once finalized, we were having a hard time receiving results for a long time. We often received junk faxes, or faxes that were not intended for our providers which turned into so much wasted paper. We came up with an idea to start using an efax system that could decrease the amount of lost faxes and also decrease the amount of wasted paper.  With an effective efax machine means we can receive faxes directly to our emails and this can mean a faster turnaround for patient treatment.

· Explain how the outcomes of one system level effect the other level?

Delays in test results can lead to patients not receiving appropriate care in a timely fashion and often times require an admission and or readmission. Both admission and readmission can be very costly. With delayed results patients and physicians will likely complain and these complaints will be directed at the mesosystem level. With decreased patient satisfaction comes poor survey scores; which is never a good thing.

· How is a systems approach beneficial in improving healthcare quality and safety?

This system approach is helpful in improving patient care by ensuring patient results are received in a timely fashion. This will also help patients be treated sooner for infections and GI disorders. This system approach will also decrease the amount of wasted paper on junk faxes. Efaxing allows for a quicker turnaround time for physicians to view results.

In 2007 the Star Ledger newspaper told of a young man (unnamed for his own protection) in Newark who witnessed a murder while walking home one day.  It was a territorial drug dispute that didn’t even involve the murder victim who was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. The man who witnessed the murder recognized a couple of the assailants who also recognized him. He ran and wasn’t found until police discovered him during investigations.

He knew the right thing but he also knew he could put himself, his wife, and young child in danger. There are laws to protect witnesses in NJ but these laws are not always effective. Some witnesses to such murders had been murdered by gang members eager to protect themselves.

The man in the news article eventually agreed to testify when police promised to relocate him and his family to Puerto Rico.

For our discussions this week, answer the following questions and then interact with the postings of others.

1) Talk to another person you know about Kant’s moral principle of a categorical duty to never make yourself the exception to a duty you’d expect others to follow (the categorical imperative).  What does this person think about it?  Do either of you believe there is ever such a thing as an unquestionable moral duty and, if so, how would that apply to the murder witness in this case?  If you think a witness to such a murder would be right to say nothing, explain if and when it is ever justifiable to follow a duty that could seriously cost you personally.

2) From the article “How to be True to Your Word” (LINK (Links to an external site.)), https://experiencelife.com/article/how-to-be-true-to-your-word/

do you think the following statement about lying is true?  Share your thoughts: “We may think our lying is for a good reason: to keep from insulting or wounding someone we care about, to avoid our own discomfort, to smooth over conflict or to make someone happy.  Really, though, we most often lie to make our own reality more comfortable” (Cat Thompson, “How to be True to Your Word”, Experience Life, 2012).  What about the so-called “white lie”?  Is this kind of lie, sometimes called a pro-social lie, something morally justifiable as you see it, or not?

Assignment: Academic Success and Professional Development Plan Part 4: Research Analysis

Architect Daniel Libeskind is credited with saying “To provide meaningful architecture is not to parody history, but to articulate it.” The suggestion is that his work does not copy the efforts of others but relies on it.

Understanding the work of others is critically important to new work. Contributions to the nursing body of knowledge can happen when you are able to analyze and articulate the efforts of previous research. Research analysis skills are therefore critical tools for your toolbox.

In this Assignment, you will locate relevant existing research. You also will analyze this research using a tool helpful for analysis.

To Prepare:

· Reflect on the strategies presented in the Resources this Module’s Learning Resources in support of locating and analyzing research.

· Use the Walden Library to identify and read one peer-reviewed research article focused on a topic in your specialty field that interests you.

· Review the article you selected and reflect on the professional practice use of theories/concepts described by the article.

The Assignment:

Using the “Module 4 | Part 4” section of your Academic Success and Professional Development Plan Template presented in the Resources, conduct an analysis of the elements of the research article you identified. Be sure to include the following:

· Your topic of interest.

· A correctly formatted APA citation of the article you selected, along with link or search details.

· Identify a professional practice use of the theories/concepts presented in the article.

· Analysis of the article using the “Research Analysis Matrix” section of the template

· Write a 1-paragraph justification stating whether you would recommend this article to inform professional practice.

· Write a 2- to 3-paragraph summary that you will add to your Academic Success and Professional Development Plan that includes the following:

· Describe your approach to identifying and analyzing peer-reviewed research.

· Identify at least two strategies that you would use that you found to be effective in finding peer-reviewed research.

· Identify at least one resource you intend to use in the future to find peer-reviewed research.
