· Describe the selected problem from two of the three systems levels (micro-, meso-, and macro).

The selected problem I would like to discuss currently affects the microsystem and the mesosystem level. I work in a pediatric gastroenterology clinic that has 9 attending physicians, 3 fellows, 1 NP, and 4 nurses. Currently we have clinic Monday-Friday with many satellite clinics, about 85 percent of patients get blood work done outside our facility. Our lab slip currently states to fax results to providers once finalized, we were having a hard time receiving results for a long time. We often received junk faxes, or faxes that were not intended for our providers which turned into so much wasted paper. We came up with an idea to start using an efax system that could decrease the amount of lost faxes and also decrease the amount of wasted paper.  With an effective efax machine means we can receive faxes directly to our emails and this can mean a faster turnaround for patient treatment.

· Explain how the outcomes of one system level effect the other level?

Delays in test results can lead to patients not receiving appropriate care in a timely fashion and often times require an admission and or readmission. Both admission and readmission can be very costly. With delayed results patients and physicians will likely complain and these complaints will be directed at the mesosystem level. With decreased patient satisfaction comes poor survey scores; which is never a good thing.

· How is a systems approach beneficial in improving healthcare quality and safety?

This system approach is helpful in improving patient care by ensuring patient results are received in a timely fashion. This will also help patients be treated sooner for infections and GI disorders. This system approach will also decrease the amount of wasted paper on junk faxes. Efaxing allows for a quicker turnaround time for physicians to view results.

I NEED A COMMENT FOR THIS POST WITH AT LEAST TWO-THREE  PARAGRAPH AND TWO SOURCES NO LATER THAN FIVE YEARS

In a 20 slide presentation, using at least 2 APA style cited references, complete the following:

1. You have several students with Asthma. Discuss the difference between an asthma action plan and an Individualized health plan. Create a PowerPoint or Prezi on asthma. The first 2 slides should be a description of these plans. Then create five slides to be used to train teachers about their students with asthma.
2. You have several epinephrine pens in your office for children with severe allergies. Discuss how you would collaborate with the head of nutrition in your school district to keep these students safe? Create a PowerPoint or Prezi on allergies. The first two would discuss how to collaborate with the nutrition department. Then create five slides that you would use to teach the bus drivers how to use an epinephrine pen. 
3. As a closing element, discuss the importance of collaboration for these two conditions.
