Identify and review two additional scholarly resources (not included in the Resources) that focus on change strategies implemented by healthcare organizations to address your selected national healthcare issue/stressor.

Develop a 3- to 4-page paper, written to your organization’s leadership team, addressing selected national healthcare issue/stressor (Nursing Shortage) and how it is impacting the work setting. Address the following:

Describe the national healthcare issue/stressor you selected and its impact on your organization. Use organizational data to quantify the impact (if necessary, seek assistance from leadership or appropriate stakeholders in your organization).

Provide a brief summary of the two articles you reviewed from outside resources on the national healthcare issue/stressor. Explain how the healthcare issue/stressor is being addressed in other organizations.

The state where I plan to practice as a nurse practitioner is Florida. In terms of contraceptives under the Comprehensive Family Planning Act, statue 381.0051, states that their “access to service prohibitions except as otherwise provided that no medical agency or institution of this state or unit of local government shall interfere with the right of any patient or physician to use medically acceptable contraceptive” (Daley, 2016, p. 34). Furthermore, the act further claims that there are also allowances made and highlighted inside the statue that enables to treat medical complications apart from pregnancy that may be attributed toward to using contraceptive methods (Daley, 2016). 

      The laws and regulations that govern abortion in Florida tend to be more severe and restrictive compared to other states. “In 2013 Governor Ron Scott signed legislation requiring that doctors performing an abortion offer emergency health care when the baby is in some way born alive. This law is really a first degree misdemeanor that’s punishable with a year in prison along with a fine of $1000” (Sharma, Frederiksen, Malcolm, Rollison & Carter, 2018). Health care professionals and employees must highlight and report all instances towards the department of health. This can be a prime illustration of the significance and the seriousness of the laws and regulations that govern abortion in Florida. These laws and regulations broadly cover patients with and without use of insurance. The condition of Florida comes with an infant and mortality rate of 6 for each 1000 live births as stated by the connected press.  The bond between contraceptive access and also the infant mortality rate appear to become congruent.  But, there’s no definitive conclusion the two are associated.          

           Poverty is linked to the maternal and infant mortality, and issues such as diabetes, obesity, asthma and depression. The rates in Florida were 6.0 in 2016 for infant mortality compared to 7.2 as the national rate.

After having conducted a detailed investigation regarding the selected case, it turned out that Florida experiences a high increase in the aspect of infant and maternal mortality rates. Without a doubt, this statistic cannot be underestimated under any pretext, as such situation remains rather alarming. Comparing this data with the general numbers received within other states, it is worth admitting that infant and maternal mortality rates in Florida are 1.5 times higher than in any other state or region of the U.S (March of Dimes Foundation, 2018). That is why there is a growing necessity in analyzing such state of things from different perspectives and providing a comprehensive understanding of such a dramatic situation. 

           According to the resented investigation, such medical program as Medicaid appears to regulate the nursing sphere and cover the healthcare expenditures of the low-income patients. It is worth remarking that around 65% of patients use this insurance, while around 30% of them are women (Hajizadeh, 2014). Relatively speaking, the program covers only 1/3 risks and dangers among the women related to the contraception and abortion (Hajizadeh, 2014, p. 301). Subsequently, the medical treatment of women with and without an appropriate insurance differs significantly on a daily basis.  

           As a result, the risks concerning the high mortality among infants have a tendency to augment. Conventionally, this state of things is interdependent with the number of regulating external factors, including healthcare environment, clinical setting and economic well-being of the patients (Hajizadeh, 2014, p. 280). Due to such a complicated situation, the local government is called to take into an accurate consideration the dependence of infant mortality rates on the inefficient healthcare system and on the lack of proper medical services.  

All in all, it can be stated that the external factors and a scarcity of financial funding provoke numerous difficulties not only in the context of preventive strategies related to contraception and abortion among the women but also aggravate the medical situation in this state in general.

This is the original activity if you needed 

Select the state where you plan to practice as a nurse practitioner and/or nurse leader and investigate the state’s policies on access to contraception and abortion for women with insurance and those without. What are the state’s infant and maternal mortality rates? Discuss the possible relationship between these factors.

Throughout history, technological advancements have appeared for one purpose before finding applications elsewhere that lead to spikes in its usage and development. The internet, for example, was originally developed to share research before becoming a staple of work and entertainment. But technology—new and repurposed—will undoubtedly continue to be a driver of healthcare information. Informaticists often stay tuned to trends to monitor what the next new technology will be or how the next new idea for applying existing technology can benefit outcomes.

In this Discussion, you will reflect on your healthcare organization’s use of technology and offer a technology trend you observe in your environment.

To Prepare:

• Reflect on the Resources related to digital information tools and technologies.
• Consider your healthcare organization’s use of healthcare technologies to manage and distribute information.
• Reflect on current and potential future trends, such as use of social media and mobile applications/telehealth, Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled asset tracking, or expert systems/artificial intelligence, and how they may impact nursing practice and healthcare delivery. 

Post a brief description of general healthcare technology trends, particularly related to data/information you have observed in use in your healthcare organization or nursing practice. Describe any potential challenges or risks that may be inherent in the technologies associated with these trends you described. Then, describe at least one potential benefit and one potential risk associated with data safety, legislation, and patient care for the technologies you described. Next, explain which healthcare technology trends you believe are most promising for impacting healthcare technology in nursing practice and explain why. Describe whether this promise will contribute to improvements in patient care outcomes, efficiencies, or data management. Be specific and provide examples.
