The purpose of this assignment is to gain real-world insight into how risk management programs operate within health care organizations.

Select a local health care organization where you can conduct an interview with an employee who is involved in risk management processes. This organization can be your current employer or a different health care facility in your community. Acute care, urgent care, large multi‐provider private medical clinics, assisted living facilities, and community/public health clinical facilities are all ideal options to complete the requirements of this assignment. Select an individual who can provide sufficient information regarding how their organization manages risk within its facility to answer the questions below.

In your interview, address the following:

1. Risk management strategies used in the organization’s risk control program, along with specific examples.
2. How the facility’s educational risk management program addresses key professional, legal, and ethical issues, such as prevention of negligence, malpractice litigation, and vicarious liability.
3. Policies the facility has implemented that address how to manage emergency triage in high‐risk areas of health care service delivery (e.g., narcotics inventories, declared pregnancy policies, blood-borne disease sector, etc.).
4. Challenges the organization faces in managing and controlling high-risk health care (e.g., infectious diseases, nuclear medicine, abortion, class 4 narcotics/opioids, etc.).
5. Strategies the facility utilizes to monitor, evaluate, and maintain compliance within its risk management program.

After conducting the interview, compose a 750‐1,000 word summary analysis of the interview that includes the questions above, in conjunction with the interviewee’s responses. In addition, include the following elements in your response:

1. An assessment of the organization’s risk management program, including how it attends to high-risk health care and legal concerns.
2. Action steps you would take to improve one area of the organization’s risk management program, along with your rationale for doing so.

Cite appropriate references as needed to support your statements and rationale.

One way that the human services group can rehearse essential avoidance during their strategic help Haiti after the calamity would be for the medicinal services group to consistently utilize appropriate hand cleanliness and gloves for all patient contact. In the video assets are rare and it was expressed that appropriate hand cleanliness, for example, cleanser and water were not promptly accessible however the hand some hand sanitizer. So the medicinal services group would should be proactive and utilize the hand sanitizer with alert and effectively. One of the primary objectives is to forestall the spread of illness, remembering for the social insurance suppliers in such a case that a human services supplier becomes ill there will be nobody to think about the patients.

A case of optional anticipation right now be to check for contamination on patients particularly those with open injuries and attempt and separate them to keep the spread of disease from patient to persistent. These patients would likewise should be begun on anti-infection treatment also to treat the contaminations.

For tertiary anticipation the social insurance suppliers would need to do twisted consideration on the patients so as to guarantee the patient’s are recuperating appropriately and successfully. As tertiary counteraction expects to mellow the effect of a progressing ailment or injury that has enduring impacts (Institute for Work and Health, 2015), guarantee that the injuries our breaks mend appropriately that way the patients can come back to their typical day by day lives as before the fiasco struck.

The stage that these three proposed mediations would fall under would be the “postimpact stage” in light of the fact that inevitable risk has just stopped. During the postimpact stage, salvage and crisis clinical consideration turns into the essential center (Falkner, 2018). This is the stage when we as human services experts will be treating the individuals that were influenced by the catastrophe and help stop the spread of diseases.

I would work with the world division association as this association is a Christian based association that gives fiasco help to all regions around the globe that are needing aid ventures. The world division reacts with life-sparing velocity when calamity strikes. They convey quick debacle alleviation and supplies and long haul recoup so individuals can revamp their lives (Worlddivision.org, n.d.).

 In the GCU videos “Diary of a Medical Mission Trip”, the medical mission team showed the difficulty times they had to provide efficient and effective medical care. They had many challenges caused by the lack of water and cleanliness. There was also lack of medical supplies, food, and medications. The medical mission team had to see more than 100 patients every day who were waiting outside, in addition to the inpatients (GCU, 2018)

     Primary prevention focus on preventing disaster-related deaths and injuries before they occur (APHA, 2020). In addition, illness prevention is an important aspect in this setting. Primarily the health care team must be immunized to prevent hepatitis, mumps, Rubella, pertussis before going to Haiti. Immunizations should also be given to the Haiti population. In addition, the Haiti population must be educated on washing their hands and practicing proper sanitation to prevent diseases. People also must be educated on how to evacuate safely and develop an evacuation plan with the family. In addition, it is essential to have an evacuation kit with necessary supplies (American Red Cross, 2020).

     Secondary prevention has the goal to mitigate the health consequences of a disaster by providing education about injury control during cleanup and recovery period (American Public health Association, 2020). This involves treatment and education about the wounds, infections and disaster related illness. Examples seen on the video “Diary of Mission Trip” from GCU (2018) include cleaning and changing dressing from the wounds; treating the patients with IV fluids and antibiotics for infections. In addition, the hospitals in Haiti were overcrowded with minor injury patients and others seriously ill. The innovative examples would be educating people about infection and its prevention; setting up small areas and tents to treat minor injury patients with trained medical staff. It is also necessary to organize and separate the medical supplies in a clean, non-sterile area. Providing care to the injured also address the emotional aspects of trauma.

      Tertiary prevention minimizes the effect of a disaster and disability among the already ill patients. It focuses on the long- term requirements and of individuals and community post disaster (APHA, 2020) Medical supplies, medications, diagnostic tools, physicians and medical staff will be needed in this setting. There is an extremely need of surgeons and operating rooms to treat patients with serious illness and injury. According to the video “Diary of a Medical Mission Trip” from GCU (2018), the hospital in Haiti had only two ORs with the anesthesia machine dropped down and one OR was shut down due to leaking. In addition, the new medical team had on ortho surgeon and no anesthetist. Based on this scenario, there is a need of more medical staff including surgeons and anesthetists to assist in saving people’s lives. Furthermore, long term treatment strategies including rehabilitation and families and individuals’ therapy is necessary to assist people to move from the previous capabilities to the highest level of function they can attain (Berman, Snyder & Frandsen, 2016). In order to facilitate the proposed interventions, I would associate the CDC because it has the function of administering a broad program related to surveillance of disease and behaviors that lead to disease and disability (Berman, Snyder & Frandsen, 2016). I would also associate the Red Cross, and other organizations including religious organizations.

This assignment is designed to assist you in developing a thoughtful process for advocating about an issue as a nurse, from identifying a problem that needs to be solved through articulating a process for doing so.

This assignment consists of answering each of the questions listed below from the “Political Analysis and Strategies” chapter of your course textbook. Write each question as a new topic area; then follow with a paragraph or two to answer the question. Be sure to use APA guidelines for writing style, spelling and grammar, and citation of sources, if any used. This project should be no longer than 4 pages.

Let us assume that you are a school nurse in a high school. At a recent school athletic event, a spectator suffered a cardiac arrest in the stands. A coach of the home team went into the high school to fetch the automatic emergency defibrillator (AED) only to find out that it was not readily available. In the meantime, an emergency squad arrived and resuscitated the spectator. On Monday morning, you learn of the absence of the AED only to find out that it had been locked in the custodian’s closet. Reflect on the following questions outlined in the “Political Analysis and Strategies” chapter:

• What is the issue?
• Is it my issue, and can I solve it?
• Is this the real issue or merely a symptom of a larger one?
• Does it need an immediate solution, or can it wait?
• Is it likely to go away by itself?
• Can I risk ignoring it?
• What are the possible solutions? Are there risks to these solutions?
• What steps would you need to take in order to solve the issue?
• Does anyone else at the school need to be involved in the solution?
• Where is the power leverage in the school to reach the preferred solution?

Reaching a solution requires the use of power vested in the nurse. Review Box 9-1 (Sources of Power) and determine which type(s) of power the school nurse has in this situation. State your reasons for your answer.
