Over the course of the last 6 months, we have been living through arguably the most profound public health crisis of the 21st century: the COVID-19 pandemic.  COVID-19 has impacted every facet of our day-to-day life and society, and has fundamentally changed the way we experience our world, our health, and one another.  COVID-19 has also had a profound impact on our health care system and its professionals, institutions, and technologies.  For this short written assignment: Reflect upon the ways in which COVID-19 has impacted the health care professionals in your community, both positively and negatively. Reflect upon the ways in which COVID-19 has impacted, changed and re-ordered health care institutions in your community. Reflect upon the ways in which COVID-19 has impacted health technology, in terms of testing, research and the race to find a vaccine. Your short assignment should: Be 2 pages, double-spaced (approx. 500 words, no more than 750 words), standard fonts and margins. Be written in first-person.  This is a reflection, not an essay.  Using “I” is okay. Refer to media and/or government reports from the past six months that support the arguments you are making.  Make sure to cite (in-text) these sources, using APA referencing.  Include a reference list at the end of your assignment.  A handy online guide to APA referencing can be found at: https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/apa_style/apa_formatting_and_style_guide/general_format.html Refer to a minimum of 2 course readings, properly cited (in-text) and included in your bibliography. Be written in scholarly, academic language.  Feel free to include any personal experiences that connect to your analysis of COVID-19, if applicable.

Up to 5 points can be deducted for spelling/punctuation/grammar/sentence structure/references/citations issues. This assignment is being checked for similarity using Turnitin. Please do not include the above questions/instructions in your submitted assignment, as doing so will inflate your Turnitin Similarity score. Please take the subject of academic integrity seriously.  Please refer to the “Academic Integrity” section of the HSA Student Expectations document, and be reminded that students must review the Turnitin report and the Similarity Index score for their written work prior to submitting for a grade. If the Turnitin Similarity Index score is greater than 15%, you are required to rewrite and revise the paper or assignment until the Turnitin Similarity Index score is 15% or less.  Turnitin Similarity reports are generated very soon after assignment submission. Students can resubmit until the assignment due date. However, after three resubmissions, Turnitin Similarity reports will generate after 24 hours.  Plagiarism penalties and a grade of “zero” will result if any assignment or paper is submitted with a Turnitin Similarity Index score greater than 15%, and the Turnitin report indicates that a lower score was possible. Please submit your assignment in the “Chapter 9 Assignment – Dropbox” by the due date, Sunday, October 25, 11:59 p.m. I look forward to reading your recommendations! Thank you.

WEEK 9 NURS 6050 Discussion: The Role of the RN/APRN in Policy Evaluation   In the Module 4 Discussion, you considered how professional nurses can become involved in policy-making. A critical component of any policy design is evaluation of the results. How comfortable are you with the thought of becoming involved with such matters? Some nurses may be hesitant to get involved with policy evaluation. The preference may be to focus on the care and well-being of their patients; some nurses may feel ill-equipped to enter the realm of policy and political activities. However, as you have examined previously, who better to advocate for patients and effective programs and polices than nurses? Already patient advocates in interactions with doctors and leadership, why not with government and regulatory agencies? In this Discussion, you will reflect on the role of professional nurses in policy evaluation.   To Prepare:   In the Module 4 Discussion, you considered how professional nurses can become involved in policy-making. Review the Resources and reflect on the role of professional nurses in policy evaluation.   By Day 3 of Week 9   Post an explanation of at least two opportunities that currently exist for RNs and APRNs to actively participate in policy review. Explain some of the challenges that these opportunities may present and describe how you might overcome these challenges. Finally, recommend two strategies you might make to better advocate for or communicate the existence of these opportunities. Be specific and provide examples.   Rubric Detail     Name: NURS_6050_Module05_Week09_Discussion_Rubric     Excellent Good Fair Poor Main Posting 45 (45%) – 50 (50%) Answers all parts of the discussion question(s) expectations with reflective critical analysis and synthesis of knowledge gained from the course readings for the module and current credible sources.   Supported by at least three current, credible sources.   Written clearly and concisely with no grammatical or spelling errors and fully adheres to current APA manual writing rules and style. 40 (40%) – 44 (44%) Responds to the discussion question(s) and is reflective with critical analysis and synthesis of knowledge gained from the course readings for the module.   At least 75% of post has exceptional depth and breadth.   Supported by at least three credible sources.   Written clearly and concisely with one or no grammatical or spelling errors and fully adheres to current APA manual writing rules and style. 35 (35%) – 39 (39%) Responds to some of the discussion question(s).   One or two criteria are not addressed or are superficially addressed.   Is somewhat lacking reflection and critical analysis and synthesis.   Somewhat represents knowledge gained from the course readings for the module.   Post is cited with two credible sources.   Written somewhat concisely; may contain more than two spelling or grammatical errors.   Contains some APA formatting errors. 0 (0%) – 34 (34%) Does not respond to the discussion question(s) adequately.   Lacks depth or superficially addresses criteria.   Lacks reflection and critical analysis and synthesis.   Does not represent knowledge gained from the course readings for the module.   Contains only one or no credible sources.   Not written clearly or concisely.   Contains more than two spelling or grammatical errors.   Does not adhere to current APA manual writing rules and style.

At your hospital, the Committee on Medical Ethics is a medical staff committee. It answers to the Medical Executive Committee and the medical staff president, and its members are jointly appointed by the president of the Medical Staff and committee chair. Although it is a Medical Staff Committee, its membership is multidisciplinary, including physicians, nurses, social workers, lawyers, and members of the lay public (for community representation). Most members of the committee have received training in clinical ethics consultation, and were chosen because of their interest in resolution of ethical issues and their interpersonal qualities with patients and staff. The hospital administration has engaged a consulting firm to “modernize” its structure. The consultants have advised converting the “old” social worker approach to the contemporary position of case manager. The consultants note that three social workers sit on the Ethics Committee. The social worker members of the Ethics Committee were advised that they will no longer serve on said committee, and that their place will be taken by the manager of case management, who has no experience in ethics consultation, nor does she know anything about the history of Ethics Committee activities at your hospital. The chair of the Ethics Committee is informed that three of his committee members are “out.” The chair is livid, and there is also an immediate reaction from all the rest of the committee members, most especially the medical staff members of the committee— something about separation of powers is mentioned. You have been assigned by the hospital administrator to “handle this mess.” How would you go about doing so? If you had been told to handle the proposed committee reconfiguration from the very beginning, what would you have done differently from what was done? What change management practices would you have implemented to have these adjustments be handled better? Describe your answer in detail, write in a response to each case scenario. Your Journal entry should be at least 500 words.
