Introduction

·  Topic area

·  Research question

·  Significance

Assignment details:

Based on your work from week 1 [improved by using any feedback received] continue to elaborate on your proposed research study.

Topic Area: Begin by stating the type of facility in which, or about which, the research will focus [for example: hospital, physicians’ office, urgent care center, etc.]

Then, follow with a strong introduction that will share a brief overview that will inform the reader about the specific topic on which the research will focus. This section should also include a brief explanation of why the results are expected to be relevant to the facility, and its ability to be effective and efficient.  

Research Question: Once the topic area is established, repeat and elaborate on what you wrote about your research question in week one’s assignment [improved by implementing any feedback, as necessary]. What specific issue or question will your work investigate? What can be learned from this research project?

Significance: Why is this study, and its statistically significant results, important to this facility and its ability to provide quality health care services? Explain why it will be beneficial to answer this question with facts. What are the implications of completing this study? How might these facts [statistically significant results] affect the policies and procedures of this facility? This section should also include why the reader should find value in the completion of the project.

The suppliers of legislative benefits are legislators, and their primary goal is to be re-elected. Thus, legislators need to maximize their chances for re-election, which requires political support. Legislators are assumed to be rational and to make cost-benefit calculations when faced with demands for legislation. However, the legislator’s cost-benefit calculations are not the cost-benefits to society of enacting particular legislation. Instead, the benefits are the additional political support the legislator would receive from supporting legislation and the lost political support they would incur as a result of their action. When the benefit to legislators (positive political support) exceeds their costs (negative political support) they will support legislation. (page 27)

1. Explain how you think the cost-benefit analysis in the statement from page 27 of Feldstein (2006) affected efforts to repeal/replace the ACA. 

2. Then, explain how analyses such as the one portrayed by the Feldstein statement may affect decisions by legislative leaders in recommending or positioning national policies (e.g., Congress’ decisions impacting Medicare or Medicaid).

accrediting Bodies and Regulatory Agencies

Like a firework spreading out over the night sky, the history of accreditation overarches much of health care’s past. In the late 1800s, the emphasis on health care practices, procedures, and expectations was much like a fuse that propels a firework into the air. Uniformity of high quality standards was the new goal to reach. As this new goal ignited however, many different organizations and committees began to form, each branching out in its own direction. One association, the American Society of Superintendents of Training Schools of Nursing, pushed to equalize and elevate standards across all schools of nursing. Today, this association is known as the National League for Nursing (NLN), a specialized accrediting body for nursing programs. In 1913, another association, the American College of Surgeons (ACS), began to conduct on-site inspections of hospitals. Out of the 692 hospitals they visited, only 89 met their minimum quality standards. Like the NLN, the ACS continued to grow, later merging with what is known today as the Joint Commission.

In this Discussion, you explore the many accrediting bodies and regulatory agencies that accredit and certify academic and clinical settings.

To prepare:

• Review this week’s Learning Resources on accrediting bodies and the overarching accreditation process for academic settings.
• Review Chapter 2, “Curriculum Development and Approval Processes in Changing Educational Environments,”  in the Keating text. Consider how regulatory agencies accredit and certify clinical settings. In addition, consider why a clinical setting might seek accreditation or certification.
• Consider the setting your team is investigating for your Course Project. Using the websites listed in this week’s Learning Resources, as well as your own independent research, identify the accrediting body or regulatory agency from which your setting did or could seek accreditation/certification from.
• Select three standards from this accrediting body or regulatory agency. Conduct a self-study to determine if the setting could or did meet the standards required by this body or agency.
