Assignment: Policy/Regulation Fact Sheet

As a professional nurse, you are expected to apply your expertise to patient care. On occasion, you will also be expected to share that expertise.

With evolving technology and continuous changes to regulations designed to keep up these changes, there is usually a need to share information and expertise to inform colleagues, leadership, patients, and other stakeholders.

In this Assignment, you will study a recent nursing informatics-related healthcare policy, and you will share the relevant details via a fact sheet designed to inform and educate.

To Prepare:

· Review the Resources on healthcare policy and regulatory/legislative topics related to health and nursing informatics.

· Consider the role of the nurse informaticist in relation to a healthcare organization’s compliance with various policies and regulations, such as the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA).

· Research and select one health or nursing informatics policy (within the past 5 years) or regulation for further study.

The Assignment: (1 page not including the title and reference page)

Create a 1-page fact sheet that your healthcare organization could hypothetically use to explain the health or nursing informatics policy/regulation you selected. Your fact sheet should address the following:

· Briefly and generally explain the policy or regulation you selected.

· Address the impact of the policy or regulation you selected on system implementation.

· Address the impact of the policy or regulation you selected on clinical care, patient/provider interactions, and workflow.

· Highlight organizational policies and procedures that are/will be in place at your healthcare organization to address the policy or regulation you selected. Be specific.

What are the prescriptive authority requirements for the state in which you intend to practice?

/in /by

Instructions

After passing your certification exam, the next step is to obtain your Nurse Practitioner (RN/NP) license. Then you should apply for prescriptive authority in the state in which you plan to practice. In some states, this requires a collaborating/ supervising physician; in some states, there are restrictions for NP prescribing. After you obtain a state prescriptive license, you must apply for a federal drug enforcement administration (DEA) certificate so that you can prescribe controlled substances. Use the following resources to complete this week’s IPPD assignment

· Nurse Practitioner Interactive Map

· Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA)

· DEA Forms and Applications

Using the document you started in Week 1 Assignment 2: Individual Professional Practice Document: NP Title, Definition, and Consensus Model and added to in Week 5 Assignment 1: Individual Professional Practice Document: Scope of Practice,, please add the following information to the Week 6 area. Using the  Nurse Practitioner Interactive Map , select the state or states where you plan to practice and become familiar with each state’s regulations related to NP prescriptive authority. In some states, prescriptive authority is explained in the Board of Nursing (BON) and the Department of Public Health (DPH), so you might have to search the DPH website as well. You must also meet the federal DEA regulations for your state to be licensed to prescribe controlled substances.

· What are the prescriptive authority requirements for the state in which you intend to practice? Is there a MD collaborative or supervisory regulation related to non-controlled substances or controlled substances? Are there any restrictions for NP prescriptive practice? Does the state utilize a system-wide drug monitoring program to assist with the prevention of overprescribing?

· Include a hyperlink to the state prescriptive authority regulations.

· Does the state allow DEA licensure? What are the requirements to obtain a DEA certificate? Are there any MD collaborative/ supervisory regulations related to controlled substance prescribing? Are there any restrictions to prescribing controlled substances, including opioids and naloxone authority?

· Include the federal DEA hyperlink.

In your initial post, please identify the prescriptive authority regulations in the state where you are going to practice. Are there any restrictions, supervision, or collaboration required from a physician?

Initial Post

To get started, review the Nurse Practitioner Interactive Map.

In your initial post, please identify the prescriptive authority regulations in the state where you are going to practice. Are there any restrictions, supervision, or collaboration required from a physician? If so, please explain. If you will be practicing in multiple states, do the regulations in those states differ? If you are in a clinical placement, please ask your preceptors about the prescriptive regulations and if an agreement is needed. If so, ask to see a copy of the agreement so that you can review what will be required when you begin to practice. Share with one another on the discussion board what you have found. If you are precepting at more than one facility, discuss whether these agreements differ at all, what your thoughts are about any differences, and which agreements you like best.

Reply Posts

Reply to at least one of your classmates. In your reply post, compare and contrast the state regulatory requirements of the state in your initial post with a different state. Discuss with your colleague rationales behind these differences and how the difference affects healthcare access, quality and cost.

Discuss the benefits and disadvantages of a facility using supplemental and floating staff.

Diabetes patient

Reason for Referral: Carole Lund a 44 year old, mixed Native American and European descent, and a new mother. She is concerned that she is not recovering from gestational diabetes.

Situation:

Carole is here with her daughter, Kassandra, who is 10 weeks old. Carole was diagnosed with gestational diabetes at week 30 of her pregnancy. She has carefully logged her blood glucose since the diagnosis and it shows 150-200 fasting, over 200 following meals.

Assessment

Q- what diabetes treatments did you receive during your pregnancy?

A- Well, they gave me a glucometer, so I started using that. I could see right away that the way I was eating was a problem; I would usually work straight through the day and then have one big meal in the evening, and that was making my numbers bounce all over. So I set alarms on my laptop, so three times a day I would get interrupted, have a small meal, take a short walk, and then test my blood sugar. That helped. And then I stopped drinking juice and soda, which I should have done years ago, and that helped too. But I don’t think my numbers improved as much as my OB/GYN wanted them to, but she said my blood sugar should return to normal after delivery.

Q-Did your obstetrician advise you to take insulin during your pregnancy?

A- She did, yeah, and we talked about it. I don’t like the idea of being dependent on a drug. I called my mother. She’s still on the reservation, so she called the elders, and we all agreed that injecting my body with an animal hormone was a bad idea. But then the doctor told me that they make synthetic insulin now, but that means it’s made in a laboratory somewhere, and I’m not sure that’s any better. By then I was in my third trimester, and all the tests said Kassandra was big but healthy, so I thought we would just ride it out. It was supposed to clear up after she was born. But it hasn’t, and I know you must be careful having a baby my age. I want to do what’s best, but I don’t want to believe that insulin is my only option.

Q-Are there any challenges in your life that you think maybe interfere with your ability to follow a treatment plan?

A- It’s harder now than it was before she was born. It’s just the two of us in the apartment, which is wonderful, but I don’t remember the last time I had a good night’s sleep. A lot of my work is freelance, so I make my own hours, but that also means if I’m not working, I don’t get paid. I had family help while I was recovering from the C-section, and they helped cook healthy meals for me, and kept me on my schedule. Now it’s all on me — work, caring for my daughter, and managing my blood sugar. If I fall behind on anything, it will be looking after my health.

Q-Do you have any other concerns you would like to have addressed?

A- I worry about Kassandra. She’s healthy and perfect, but I know that she’s at a greater risk for developing Type 2 Diabetes. I want to do whatever I can to reduce that risk, to care for her, and as she grows, to teach her how to care for herself.

 

 

Based on the above patient information follow the following guidelines to complete the paper
