Chapter 1: A History of Health Care and Nursing 1.  Some nurses believe that Florence Nightingale holds nursing back and represents the negative and backward elements of nursing. This view cites as evidence that Nightingale supported the subordination of nurses to physicians, opposed registration of nurses, and did not see mental health nurses as part of the profession. After reading this chapter, what do you think? Is Nightingale relevant in the 21st century to the nursing profession? Why or why not? 2.  What do you think would be the response of such historical nursing leaders as ­Florence Nightingale, Lillian Wald, and Mary Breckinridge if they could see what the profession of nursing looks like today?

Public health research has traditionally focused on problems, deficiencies, disease, and contributing factors to public health problems. In recent years, community health assessments have also included community assets or resources. The process of identifying these contributions to the public health of a community is called asset mapping. One strategy for identifying assets is geographic information system (GIS) mapping. Although the asset-mapping approach to community health assessment is appealing for many reasons, not every asset map is successful or yields results that would be relevant to a community health assessment or public health program. It is important to know the benefits and limitations of asset mapping with regard to community health assessment. For this week’s Discussion, review the media titled Identifying Assets. Consider the use of community assets in Belize. Using this information, and the information you gathered in the Resources, consider the benefits and limitations to using community asset mapping and GIS in community health assessment. With these thoughts in mind: Post an explanation of one benefit and one limitation of using asset mapping in community health assessment. Provide a specific example of when you might use asset mapping and explain why. Then, explain one benefit and one limitation for the use of geographic information systems (GIS) mapping. Provide a specific example of when you might use GIS and explain why. Use the Resources and current literature to support your response.

You are a member of the board of directors for Selfless Health, an integrated delivery system that includes an academic medical center, three community hospitals, a long term care facility, and a home health agency.  Selfless Health struggles to operate in the black, in fact any years where the system does not lose money is considered an achievement.  The board has been approached by MMC (Massive Mega-Capital, a venture capital firm) with an offer to acquire the health system. The board chair has asked you to provide a summary analysis comparing not-for-profit and for-profit health systems.  What are the benefits and risks of each model?  Is there evidence of the superiority of either system?  Does your home state allow for-profit ownership of hospitals?  Conclude your summary with a recommendation for Selfless Health.  Should it accept the takeover?  Why or why not?  Your analysis should be no longer than 10 pages. The cover page, references, and any figures are not included in the page count).

A clearly defined the problem you intend to solve through the use of evidence-based decision making. A description of the types of HIT systems that recommend to support decision making. Recommendation & Rationale (8–11 slides) Using the data provided, analyze the current and future state of the ICU. Consider three scenarios for the future state, one without additional beds and two with additional beds. Based on your research and analysis, determine two viable scenarios for bed count and present these scenarios. Use graphics, text, and charts as required. The slides and presenter notes should include: An overview of three options for the ICU that you analyzed. The presenter notes should provide a 2- to 3-paragraph analysis of the three options, using academic resources to support your options.

A final recommendation for one of the options and an explanation of why it will maximize the benefits to the hospital, patients, and community. A detailed rationale justifying your recommendation. A graphic comparison between the current state of the ICU vs. the remote monitoring ICU implementation in 5 years. The presenter notes should include a detailed explanation of the graphic. An explanation of the impact of your recommendation on staffing, productivity, competitiveness, and finances, using appropriate qualitative and quantitative data to support your explanation. The presenter notes should include an explanation regarding how the data supports your explanation. Evidence Evaluation Knowing that United General’s leadership team focuses on evidence-based decision making, address the following, in 3–4 slides: Summarize the evidence used in developing the opportunity statement and recommendation. Describe why each piece of evidence is relevant to patients, the community, and the hospital. Summarize the analysis used to create the recommendation. Evaluate the validity and reliability of the data. Recommend methods to improve the validity and reliability of the data. The presentation should be a minimum of 16–20 slides, not including the title and reference slide. Assignment must be written in standard edited English.
