Hello Professor and class, 

Ethical guidelines ensure patients are safe from harm. Having someone prescribe a medication who is not properly educated on the possible side effects, directions, doses, drug interactions and many other implications is considered unethical. A huge component of prescribing ethically includes examining the patients’ needs for the current situation in which they are seeking medical help for which was not done in this case study (Duquesne University, 2020). There is also a legal implication due to providers having the responsibility to make informed medical decisions before prescribing medications due to potential side effects, drug interactions etc. If the doctor prescribes the wrong medication, inappropriate dosages, or misinforms about the possible side effects they could be held liable (Harris, 2020). This will clearly affect everyone including the practice. Practicing without a license will presume this care was negligent. If this individual was injured this could justify punitive damages. If this was ruled in favor of, compensation for the harm would be involved as well as additional penalties for “deceiving the victim” (Suszek, 2023). This would cost the practice in fines as well as diminish their reputation. A medical director is in charge of running the facility, implementing regulations, budgets and many other things. This problem will quickly become their problem when trying to sort out this situation. As for the medical assistant, I am going to discuss the punishment where I live because it can vary depending on state. In Florida this medical assistant is practicing without a license and as a first-time offense this would usually be a first-degree misdemeanor. The penalties for this can include up to one year in jail and up to $1,000 in fines (The Law Place, n.d.).

I clearly do not think this medical assistant was trying to be malicious by her actions. However, she is probably not aware of the implications behind these actions and needs to be educated about what can happen if she does not follow her scope of practice. Therefore, to ensure this does not happen again, everyone needs to be educated about their roles. This is not just directed to medical assistants, but others could be informed how to best utilize them in their practice. It was stated in the case study that this was a busy primary care practice, and management should work to improve the stressful conditions for these workers. They have a lot of different roles and should have the efficient help to get their tasks done but understand exactly what they can and cannot do (Family Medicine, 2022). I also believe something in the computer system would have to be changed. It should not be that easy for someone without the proper education to put in a prescription. I think everyone needs a pin number or password to put in medications for patients.

A leadership quality I would apply is setting ethical standards. Healthcare lacking ethics can have extremely harmful effects on patients lives. Leaders that have built a reputation around integrity can set ethical standards for their team members and influence them to do the same. Another positive change would be having accountability. We all will make mistakes and being accountable for your actions will be favorable for your team. Lastly, applying mentorship is very important, in this circumstance there were many nurse practitioners, and providers that would all be very good leaders. Mentors are able to assess and support others to acquire the necessary skills to exceed in their role (DeVry University, 2022).

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.

Discussion

/in /by

As your EBP skills grow, you may be called upon to share your expertise with others. While EBP practice is often conducted with unique outcomes in mind, EBP practitioners who share their results can both add to the general body of knowledge and serve as an advocate for the application of EBP.

In this Discussion, you will explore strategies for disseminating EBP within your organization, community, or industry. 

  • Review the Resources and reflect on the various strategies presented throughout the course that may be helpful in disseminating effective and widely cited EBP.
    • This may include: unit-level or organizational-level presentations, poster presentations, and podium presentations at organizational, local, regional, state, and national levels, as well as publication in peer-reviewed journals.
  • Reflect on which type of dissemination strategy you might use to communicate EBP.

Post at least two dissemination strategies you would be most inclined to use and explain why. Explain which dissemination strategies you would be least inclined to use and explain why. Identify at least two barriers you might encounter when using the dissemination strategies you are most inclined to use. Be specific and provide examples. Explain how you might overcome the barriers you identified
