Analyze: Artifact of Popular Culture

Evaluation Title: The Business of Pop Culture

We have seen throughout this course how popular culture influences our attitudes, both positively and negatively. In this final paper, you will examine an artifact in pop culture to determine its message and effect.

For this assignment, select an artifact that, in your opinion, unfairly creates a negative bias or promotes a negative stereotype about one population of society. The pop-culture artifact can be a media source (song, movie, television program), a product, or other tangible associated with pop culture.  Provide a link to this artifact (or an image). Explain why you have selected this artifact and why you feel that this creates a negative bias. Describe how you would re-design or re-write the script of this artifact to change how others view this population.

In your paper:

• Provide a specific link to the pop culture artifact used for this paper or an image of the artifact. 
• Discuss the artifact in depth.  Explain the stereotypes or biases that you see being perpetuated in the artifact. 
• Discuss the role of popular culture in communicating harmful or incorrect stereotypes or biases.  Using the concepts, terminology, and ideas within Units 1-7, recommendations for how people can identify and correct views that are incorrect or harmful.
• Re-design or re-write this artifact to change the way others could view this population without the negative bias.  Be sure to support this revised artifact with factual examples of the culture.

Specifications:

Develop a 5–7-page implementation plan addressing the various factors critical to the successful deployment of the new or upgraded telehealth technology that was the focus of the previous two assessments.

Technology continues to move at an accelerated pace, and the delivery of health care is shifting from office-based environments to the home. For this reason, health care organizations must be at technology’s cutting edge in order to remain competitive in today’s environment. Integrating the daily activities of patients into the health care continuum will improve the quality of care that is provided and enable more holistic care.

This assessment provides an opportunity for you to develop an implementation plan that addresses the various factors critical to the successful deployment of the new or upgraded telehealth technology that was the focus of your previous assessments.

By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:

• Competency 2: Develop a collaborative technology integration strategy.
  • Assess the adequacy of existing telehealth technology infrastructure in an organization or practice setting.
  • Assign tasks and responsibilities for deploying a new or upgraded telehealth technology.
  • Develop an implementation schedule.
  • Develop a post-deployment telehealth technology evaluation and maintenance strategy.
• Competency 3: Develop a strategy for managing technology use that enhances patient care and organizational effectiveness.
  • Determine staff training requirements and strategies.

  • Support assertions, arguments, propositions, and conclusions with relevant and credible evidence.
  • Write clearly and concisely in a logically coherent and appropriate form and style.

SCENARIO:

 

Work continues for the team at St. Anthony Medical Center in Minneapolis in charge of implementing a pilot telehealth program in rural Slayton, Minnesota. This program will allow students to interact with mental health counselors at St. Anthony Medical Center during the school day.

With key stakeholders on board, there are quite a few things for the team to consider.

 
Ana NguyenBehavioral Health Nurse Manager – St. Anthony Medical Center

Before we get started, I just want to share with the group how excited people in Murray County are about this program. There is so much enthusiasm and support. We even had an opportunity to speak with some of the students in their system and they were very interested in what we’re doing. They had some great ideas – not all of which can be implemented in the pilot, but which are worth exploring for future incarnations of this program. For now though, Tara and I are focusing on drawing up an implementation plan for the pilot.

 
Frederick MoraDirector of Quality Management – Vila Health Group

Good. I know we’ve talked about how the technology will integrate with our existing telehealth infrastructure. Be sure to address that thoroughly in the implementation plan. We need to be very clear about what changes, if any, will be required and what the plan is for making said changes.

I also find it very helpful when the implementation plan spells out the key implantation tasks and names the point person for each task. It makes it a lot easier to determine who to speak to when questions arise.

 Christopher HewittVice President of Medical Support Services

Another consideration when you’re putting the implementation plan together is to address change management. What approach is being taken and how will it affect users. What training are we talking about? That will need to be a significant section of the plan, I think.

 Tara JenningsDirector of Nursing Informatics – St. Anthony Medical Center

This is great. Ana and I identified several of these points as things to address in the implementation plan, but not all of them. With training, we’d been talking about training needs from the school perspective, but neither of us factored in training for SAMC personnel. If nothing else, the tech support staff will be involved, but I know they aren’t the only department impacted by this project. I’m making a note to make sure we really think that section through.

 
Blake CarterDirector of Information Technology – Vila Health Group

Among other things, you will have to develop an implementation schedule, assign tasks and responsibilities for deploying the technology, and develop a post-deployment telehealth technology evaluation and strategy. To help you succeed at the complex set of tasks, talk to some of your colleagues and get their thoughts on how to proceed.

 
Troy HollandDirector of Patient Services – St. Anthony Medical Center

Speaking to the change management issues, be sure you articulate the communication strategy. There are a lot of people collaborating on this project – parents, school officials, the students who are basically our patients. We need to anticipate as much as possible how it will be received. Leading a project like this is complicated. We need to be strategic about what leadership style is best suited to ensuring success.

Along those lines, the implementation plan should also describe the evaluation and maintenance plans. Because this is a pilot, factoring in a plan for analyzing short and long-term effects on both organizations. Workers – and in the case of the schools, teachers and students – will be impacted by this new program. The implementation plan should describe our plan for identifying what works and what doesn’t – and what we plan to do about things that don’t work.

 

Conclusion

Activity complete! In this activity, you had the opportunity to observe the planning committee identify key components of the implementation plan. They also discussed how understanding the stakeholders will support creating a persuasive and effective presentation. This information should help you complete your own stakeholder presentation for the topic you have chosen for your assignment.

 Vila Health is a virtual environment that simulates a real-world health care system. In the various Vila Health scenarios, you will apply professional strategies, practice skills, and build competencies that you can apply to your coursework and in your career. The information you gather in this scenario will help you to complete the assessment.
