Health & Medical

Complete your week 1 required discussion prompt. Discussion Prompt: This week, you learned that a healthcare worker will be exposed to a diverse population of individuals on a daily basis. While medical professionals must have the highest level of technical skill, they must also have the highest level of professionalism. That level of professionalism requires healthcare workers to be educated on different cultures, different religions, different sexual orientations, and different socioeconomic classes because those differences will change the type of care that the patient will require from the caregiver. For this prompt, you will each choose one culture, religion, sexual orientation, or socioeconomic class from the following list: Muslim, Hispanic, Native American, Indian, Russian, Baptist, Catholic, Jewish, Jehovah’s Witness, Amish, Christian Scientist, Islamic, Buddhist, homosexual, transgender, low-income, middle class, or upper class. Please choose one that has not already been discussed by a classmate.  In your post, first educate your classmates on general knowledge of your category of patients. Next, discuss the specific beliefs of that category of individuals that a medical professional would need to know in order to provide proper care. Finally, discuss any specific actions that a medical professional can take to accommodate the beliefs of that category of individuals. Please chose MUSLIM as your topic. I have attached the chapters for this week discussion board for your reference. Use APA format 7th edtion. n use scholarly reference

Be sure to review PowerPoint slides on the Diffusion of Innovation.  Consider the female condom (do more research if you are unfamiliar with it).    You have been hired by the company that makes the female condom to market it in such a way that it becomes as widely adopted as the male condom.  Using the Diffusion of Innovation theory, describe what you will do with the marketing to get women to use it and spread the word about it. Your answer should be about 1 page, double-spaced.

To prepare for this discussion, reflect on what you know about Federal Controlled Substance Laws with respect to prescriptions. Review the laws surrounding controlled substance prescriptions as well as the rates of prescription drug abuse. Think about the process of obtaining and filling prescriptions that are CIII-CV vs. CII and the laws surrounding these classes of drugs. For your initial post, after considering the laws, discuss the following: Do you think the current laws and regulations surrounding controlled substance prescriptions are adequate? Why do you feel the way you do? Are the laws helping to prevent controlled substance abuse, or merely making it harder for patients to get the medications they need? Explain your rationale and support your opinion. Provide examples or cite resources if appropriate.

Week 1 Discussion COLLAPSE Overall Rating: 1 2 3 4 5 1 2 3 4 5 In the discussion preparation this week, you were asked to evaluate the degree and quality of care established within 18th-century U.S. hospitals, as compared to the level of care seen in today’s hospitals. In addition, you should analyze the basic sources of law—common law, statutory law, and administrative law—and identify which one is most prevalent in health care. Present your evaluation and analysis.

Recall that pay-for-performance programs seek to improve health care quality while lowering costs. In 2006, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) implemented a national survey instrument known as the Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Services (HCAHPS) to allow patient care experiences to be analyzed at a national level, to increase incentives for hospitals to improve care, and to enhance accountability by increasing transparency of patient care quality. Research has shown that it is important to adjust the HCAHPS survey scores based on the type of procedure performed and presence of certain services, such as inpatient psychiatric care. Why might patients who experience longer hospital stays tend to give lower scores on the HCAHPS survey? What factors play a crucial role in patient satisfaction? What further research might be necessary to improve the HCAHPS survey? 1 Page with 1 or 2 sources
