Chapter 15: Emerging Infectious Diseases

A neighbor, who is 3 months pregnant, asks to talk to you because she has felt tired for the last 2 days, has a headache, a rash, and does not feel like eating. You take her vital signs and find that she has a low-grade fever. She has recently traveled to an area where there is risk for Zika virus disease.

To what could your neighbor have been exposed, and how could the exposure have occurred?

What advice would you give your neighbor?

Value-based care includes reducing costs, improving patient and population outcomes, and increasing patient and consumer satisfaction. Value-based care should focus on quality improvement and remain patient-centered. Ex: when a disease can be prevented, rather than treated, value increases.

Instructions

2. Identify (​suggested length 1–2 slides​) a nursing role, using the “WGU Nursing Programs Conceptual Model” web link as a guide.

a. Describe how the advanced professional nurse could facilitate the implementation of value-based care within the role identified.

3. Summarize (​suggested length of 5–6 slides​) evidence relevant to the topic of value-based healthcare from ​five​ peer-reviewed scholarly sources published within the past ​five ​years. 4.

a. Identify key stakeholders for ​each​ strategy. b. Describe the role of ​each​ stakeholder for​ each ​strategy. c. Identify specific methods to measure the effectiveness of ​each ​strategy.

5. Using the “Value-Based Nursing Care Readiness Assessment” completed in your CPE (see the attached document), discuss (​suggested length of 4–7 slides​) the organization’s readiness for change by doing the following:

a. Summarize ​each​ assessment area in the readiness assessment: • defined need • readiness for change • leadership and management support • time, resources, and personnel • sustainment of the change

b. Discuss ​two​ organizational strengths. c. Discuss ​two​ organizational opportunities for improvement. d. Analyze your organization’s level of readiness to implement value-based care based on its readiness score.

e. Provide the completed “Value-Based Nursing Care Readiness Assessment” from your CPE.

• list of ​five​ strategies that nurses can use to support a culture of value-based care (VBC

• completed “Value-Based Nursing Care Organizational Readiness Assessment” with an interpretation and recommendations for ​five​ action items that must occur prior to implementing VBC
