Presentation

In October, 2017 President Donald J. Trump declared the opioid crisis a nationwide public health emergency. The public health nurse is in a unique position to lead, develop, and implement programs to address this crisis. For this presentation, the learner will:

• Examine the significance of the opioid crisis in the learner’s home state (CALIFORNIA) 
• Analyze and discuss the different approaches that the state is using to address this public health emergency (e.g. addiction prevention education, medication disposal programs naloxone distribution programs, needle exchange programs, mental health and addiction services, partnerships among health and law enforcement agencies).
• Identify or create a program that you feel would benefit the local community. Present an overview of the program, identify the goal of the program, provide objectives for the program, describe the planned interventions, identify the community stakeholders who should be a part of the planning process, discuss how the program will be monitored and evaluated, identify potential challenges and methods for engaging the community, and discuss budget needs to launch the program.
• Discuss the role of the public health nurse as a community advocate, leader, and change agent.  

This PowerPoint® (Microsoft Office) or Impress® (Open Office) presentation should be a minimum of 20 slides, including a title, introduction, conclusion and reference slide, with detailed speaker notes and recorded audio comments for all content slides. Use at least four scholarly sources and make certain to review the module’s Signature Assignment Rubric before starting your presentation. 

Review the Institute of Medicine’s 2010 report “The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health.” Write a 750‐1,000 word paper discussing the influence of the IOM report on nursing practice. Include the following:

1. Summarize the four messages outlined in the IOM report and explain why these are significant to nursing practice.
2. Discuss the direct influence the IOM report has on nursing education and nursing leadership. Describe the benefits and opportunities for BSN‐prepared nurses.
3. Explain why it is important that a nurse’s role and education evolve to meet the needs of an aging and increasingly diverse population.
4. Discuss the significance of professional development, or lifelong learning, and its relevance in caring for diverse populations across the life span and within the health‐illness continuum.
5. Discuss how nurses can assist in effectively managing patient care within an evolving health care system.

Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.

This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion. 

You are required to submit this assignment to LopesWrite. Refer to the LopesWrite Technical Support articles for assistance. 

As a professional nurse, you are expected to apply your expertise to patient care. On occasion, you will also be expected to share that expertise.

With evolving technology and continuous changes to regulations designed to keep up these changes, there is usually a need to share information and expertise to inform colleagues, leadership, patients, and other stakeholders.

In this Assignment, you will study a recent nursing informatics-related healthcare policy, and you will share the relevant details via a fact sheet designed to inform and educate.

To Prepare:

• Review the Resources on healthcare policy and regulatory/legislative topics related to health and nursing informatics.
• Consider the role of the nurse informaticist in relation to a healthcare organization’s compliance with various policies and regulations, such as the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA).
• Research and select one health or nursing informatics policy (within the past 5 years) or regulation for further study.

The Assignment: (1 page)

Create a 1-page fact sheet that your healthcare organization could hypothetically use to explain the health or nursing informatics policy/regulation you selected. Your fact sheet should address the following:

• Briefly and generally explain the policy or regulation you selected.
• Address the impact of the policy or regulation you selected on system implementation.
• Address the impact of the policy or regulation you selected on clinical care, patient/provider interactions, and workflow.
• Highlight organizational policies and procedures that are/will be in place at your healthcare organization to address the policy or regulation you selected. Be specific.

Develop: Presentation and Reflection

Evaluation Title: Your Story

The final project asks you to demonstrate that you have gained mastery of these objectives:

• Explain how and why the study of the Humanities is relevant to contemporary human experience.
• Analyze how personal experience affects one’s interpretation of humanities texts.

Throughout this course, you have discovered how looking at life from different perspectives expands your view of the world, and provides a richer experience of life both individually and collectively. 

• In Unit 1 you learned about mythology, heroes and villains, philosophy, and ethics. You saw how philosophy can frame an idea or situation completely different depending upon the way that you look at things.
• In Unit 2 you learned about the importance of perception and point of view in the creation of individual and collective memories. The way that people see life is the way that they remember life.
• In Unit 3 you discovered the different ways that religion shapes the reality of the followers, as well as the impact that different religions have on life globally. Again, this opportunity to examine other ways of thinking expands your own perceptions so that you understand the perspectives of others a bit better.
• In Unit 4 you found different ways of expressing the stories that shape your life and the lives of others. You read the dark tale of premeditated murder from Edgar Allen Poe and saw how his protagonist justified a heinous act. Poetry is found in all types of forms, and you constructed your own story and poem to start building your final assessment.
• In Unit 5 you found music in all its multiple shapes and forms. From classical through death metal, music adds a depth to the experience of life that no other medium possesses. You added music to your final project story and expanded the depth of your story.
• Unit 6 expanded the definition of visual arts from just drawings or paintings to architecture, 3D art, and dance. By adding multiple forms of expression to your final project, you tell a more meaningful and emotionally powerful story to really draw your audience closer to your experience.
• Unit 7 provided the framework to see the world through the different cohorts of people. Life looks very different to people at different times of their lives. The impact of culture and cohort adds another framework for you to reflect upon your story and think about other ways of perceiving your experiences.

Instructions: In this final project, tell your story through a presentation and reflection on how other people may perceive your story.

• You will create a 4 to the 8-minute presentation.
  • You can choose to do either of the following:
    • Record a narrated presentation that is 4-8 minutes in length.
    • Using the speaker notes in the presentation include a script of what would be said on each slide.  The script needs to be a total of 1000-1500 words. Make sure to view the word count for the presentation.
• In a Word document, provide a reflection on your final story and analyze your choices.

Estimated time to complete: 4 hours

Choose a common myth associated with managed care. You may use one of the myths discussed in this week’s reading assignment, or come up with one on your own. Write a 2 page analysis on why you think this myth came about and why it still may be prevalent today. Explain to what degree the myth is based on facts, truths, and misunderstandings.

Summarize the evidence from research that counters or supports the premise of your myth. Conduct research in at least two sources, not including your textbook. Cite your sources using APA style guidelines.
