Review and reflect back on your journal entries this semester.  In this conclusion to the reflective journal, be sure to address these questions and anything else you’d like to add:  1. What have you learned about yourself and how have your attitudes and behaviors changed in terms of health and wellness? 2. How was the SMART goal setting helpful and how will you continue using it?    3. What barriers did you face with your SMART goal and how did you overcome them? My SMART goal requires 6000 strides every day to maintain body fitness. The goal is to reduce ten pounds of weight every week. Through active listening and concentration on the task, I have managed to lose weight. Currently, I am counting my first steps to the accomplishment of the SMART goal. Due to my busy schedule, I will walk the steps only five times a week. The five days are Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday. Therefore, I will take an average of 8400 steps every day to compensate for Monday and Friday. 4200 in the morning and evening, respectively. My muscles are currently relaxed, and the 6000 strides every day does not leave me exhausted as it was when I commenced the exercise. However, there have been some barriers. For instance, at some point, I felt a lack of motivation. There was no motivation to endure the exercise. Additionally, there is sometimes a lack of time because of the busy daily schedules. To overcome the obstacles, I would find my motivation and time for the task through dedication and concentration. Some of my accomplishments are the consumption of salad and fruits in my daily diet, monitoring my sleeping schedules, and taking less sugary foods. The use of a fitness app has enabled me to keep track of my progress. The adjustments I would make to my fitness exercise are using a trainer and focusing on the task to make each day count. Through active listening and concentration, I will be able to accomplish my SMART goal. Maintaining my smart goal has been easier this past week as I have more energy to continue my daily goal of strides a day. Eating healthier has also helped with keeping my energy up thus allowing me to not feel lazy throughout the day. Some modifications I made this week were to lower my amount of strides in a day to 4000 as I am inside more and not able to walk outside because of the cold waether so I use a bike instead, but it does not document my strides as accurate.

Title of the paper:  Men’s health disparities in nursing education 3000-4000 words double space APA format. The premise of this paper is to demonstrate that there is a disparity in addressing men’s health in the USA in general and in the nursing profession in particular. Nursing education does not address or offer courses specifically related to men’s health in the undergraduate and graduate nursing programs. On the contrary, although life expectancy among men is much shorter than women, yet women’s health has a great deal of attention in nursing both in practice and in academia. Hence, men’s health should be included in the nursing curriculum in both undergraduate and graduate programs. There is a need to have a specialty with a focus on men’s health issues. Propose an inclusion plan of men’s health in nursing education. Why do you think this is important?

How does this culture improve patient Care? Describe how this would relate to incident reporting and discipline of staff. The Joint Commission, in cooperation with (HQA) Hospital Quality Alliance, established core measures required for all healthcare organizations. One reported, the core measures are available for public view and use at http://www.hospitalcompare.hhs.gov  (Links to an external site.) . Research data on 2 hospitals in your area and summarize. Scheduling systems and patient classification systems are often computerized to collect data. State examples of each along with advantages and strengths of each. Be prepared to discuss how these systems could be improved.

A Medicare Cost Report (MCR) collects descriptive data, both Financial and Statistical in nature to identify if a facility has been over or Underpaid for Medicare patients. The data is also utilized to set Prospective payments.  MCRs are in place for Institutional Providers, not Physicians, and remain the ONLY national data available for all types of providers, Profit, Not for Profit, and Governmental. Typical providers are: Hospitals, SNFs, HHA, Hospice, Renal Dialysis centers, FQHC, and CAH (Critical Access Hospitals) For this week, your assignment is to explore the role the MCR plays in a value-based health care system.  Specifically, address issues included in the report like facility characteristics, utilization data, cost, and charges by cost center.  Furthermore, choose two utilization metrics (data) and address how it has impacted the facility of your choice. Please select a hospital setting. You must reference an actual MCR and Identify the facility you have chosen. You will find all Indiana facilities (Feel free to also use a state of your choice) and their MCRs listed at this site—https://www.in.gov/isdh/27214.htm To prepare for this Discussion: Review the following website for more help in starting your paper: https://www.in.gov/isdh/27214.htm    Using the MCR Analyze the current economic trends both producing a loss and producing Revenue. What economic principles (macro and micro) are driving this shift? What element of the Medicare Cost Report did you find most valuable and why? Post a cohesive response to the following: Select a specific institution. Identify this institution and utilizing its published MCR to analyze costs and revenue of at least 3 specific departments. Then, evaluate the implications of this volume to the facility’s future income stream. Support your response by identifying and explaining key points and/or examples presented in the Learning Resources.
