Case Study 

Ingrid Smith is a 66-year-old female who has been on dialysis for six months. She is finally getting used to the demanding schedule of spending most of three full days a week preparing for her treatments, traveling to and from the center, and discomfort of being on the machine for hours at a time. She does not like that it takes her away from her grandkids and the comfort of her own home so regularly, but that is a sacrifice she is willing to make. 

Ingrid has struggled with her weight and her diabetes for a long time. She has been trying to keep all these new rules and restrictions with her diet straight, but it is complicated and her memory is not what it used to be. Lately the dietitian has focused on her consumption of mac and cheese. Apparently, it is bad for her for all kinds of reasons, but this recipe is her claim to fame, it is the one that everyone asks for when she is providing food for events like church functions and birthday parties.

On top of all the stress she is feeling with the changes to her lifestyle that kidney failure has created, she has a deep fear of needles and dreads every time she has to be hooked up to the dialysis machine. Even though it is much easier having a fistula in place, it is still the worst part of her dialysis treatment; even worse than the nausea she feels during treatment. 

Ingrid is new to your facility. She has expressed that the dialysis staff at her previous facility treated her as though she did not care about her own health or treatment plan, and they were not understanding of her fear of needles. She does care about her health; she wants to watch her grandchildren grow up, she doesn’t want her health to keep spiraling down, and she would like to eventually get a kidney transplant. She knows she needs to stay healthy to do all this and feels she has been trying her best to follow the complex rules and endure being hooked up to the dialysis machine.

Prompt

In thinking about your role and how you would interact with Ingrid, how would you ensure she had a warm welcome to the clinic, and show empathy towards her situation knowing what you do about her dietary struggles and fear of needles? 

Your task is to write, using complete sentences, a clear introduction, body, and conclusion style essay of 400-600 words free of grammatical or spelling errors.

Advanced registered nursing graduates are entering the profession at dynamic time when roles and scope of practice are shifting based on developments in legislation and policy in response to the evolving needs of the health care system. Professional nursing organizations play an important role in making sure the perspectives of advanced registered nurses are heard, and in supporting nurse specialties in their efforts to expand their scope of practice and their full participation throughout the health care system.

For this assignment, you will conduct research on the current scope of practice for your specialty and efforts that are being made to expand that scope and the role of the advanced nurse in positively influencing the health care system. Write a 1,250-1,500-word paper that includes the following:

A discussion of the scope of your future role as an advanced registered nurse, including any regulatory, certification, or accreditation agencies that define that scope.
A discussion of three professional nursing organizations that you think are most influential in advancing the scope and influence of advanced nursing. Of these organizations, evaluate the one that you would most like to join. How do its goals and mission fit in with your worldview and philosophy of care? How might membership in this organization improve your practice?
A discussion of a controversial or evolving issue that is most likely to affect your scope of practice or role in the next few years. How do you think this issue could influence the profession and other stakeholders, and why does it matters to the advanced registered nurse?

You are required to cite five to 10 sources to complete this assignment. Sources must be published within the last 5 years and appropriate for the assignment criteria and nursing content.

Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide.
This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

Your End of Course Project Paper for this class will center around the “Practice of Cost-Shifting” within our system of healthcare. The student will be expected to adequately answer the questions listed below while weaving the response into the proper format as earlier defined by King University.

In your paper, you will address the issues/questions listed below, citing sources and while properly footnoting and listing sources.

Premise- Unlike other providers, hospitals cannot turn away people needing medical care under the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA); this law requires hospitals to provide care in the emergency department (ED), and hospital if medically necessary, regardless of the ability of the individual to pay for the care received. To cover the costs of care provided to individuals who are unable to pay, or whose insurers pay less than the cost of care, hospitals increase the price charged to privately insured individuals (Cost-Shifting), since all costs of providing care in the facilities must be covered if the hospitals are to remain financially viable. A successful paper will include:

1. Definition of Cost-Shifting and its application to hospitals and insurers in the United States. Is it fair, unfair, ethical?

2. History of Cost-Shifting since the early 1970’s to date. To ensure your full understanding of the topic, introduce the terms Uncompensated Care, Charity Care and Bad Debt, Self-Pay, Medicare, Medicaid, Third Party Payers their meanings and impact within the overall concept of “Cost Shifting”.

3. Describe the concept of “Cost Shifting Hydraulic”, the application of the theory and a brief examination of purpose and meaning.

4. Explain the impact uncompensated care and cost-shifting has on Private Insurers

5. Define the major issues which brought about Cost Shifting

6. Finally, provide your perspective on payment based on volume, to payment based on value. Value is driving a fundamental reorientation of the healthcare system around the quality and cost-effectiveness of care, for, as in any industry, value in health care is defined through the relationship of these two factors: the quality of care and the price paid for it. Will it have an impact significant enough to impact Cost-Shifting.

Defend your position with literature citations.

Paper will be 7 to 10 pages in length, double spaced, 12 fonts.  AP Format including title page and reference page.  No abstract page is needed.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is a U.S. government agency within the Department of Health and Human Services.

The FDA has made some lifesaving investigational drug therapies available sooner than usual by offering an expedited drug approval process, known as “Fast Track”.

I.                  Discuss the process and regulations of Fast Track.

II.              Identify which medical conditions warrant the use of “Fast Track” drugs.
