You currently work for the development department of Sunny Manor Nursing and Rehab Center. Sunny Manor was once a privately owned small skilled nursing home in Sunny Beach, Florida until it was sold 6 years ago to a larger group of investors known for buying older nursing homes and developing them into larger more modern skilled nursing and rehab centers. Sunny Beach itself is a small retirement community close to larger beach towns. Most of the residents are 55 years or older, and there is a growing population of 70+ retired adults. However, the city is known for being technologically advanced for a retirement community. In fact, the city has a popular social media page followed by many residents and a very popular online newsletter that can be accessed through most social media programs. Also, 5 years ago, a brand new hospital opened just outside of Sunny Beach. This brought some the top physicians and surgeons in the state to the area.

Sunny Manor recently finished a major renovation, updating the previous long-term-care wings and adding a new wing with 20 new rooms. The new wing is solely dedicated to sub-acute rehab services, and the facility also added a new updated therapy room with an expanded therapy staff and modern high-tech equipment.

After working in care coordination and admissions for the past several years, you have been promoted to the development department and tasked with marketing the new facility. The goal is to build a stronger relationship with the discharge staff and physicians at the new hospital and expand a broader reach to the community.

The first step is for you to analyze and research the changing community and develop a marketing proposal for your boss, the director of development, on how to best connect with the community of Sunny Beach and increase referrals from the new hospital.

For this task, develop a summary marketing proposal on the above scenario that includes the following elements:

  • Evaluate the potential impact of the updated facility and new therapy services on potential improvements in patient satisfaction and developing new marketing share.
  • Assess possible methods to build rapport within Sunny Beach and surrounding communities.
  • Develop a plan for communicating with the community better through social media by connecting Sunny Manor to the residents of Sunny Beach through digital marketing.
  • Provide details on how ongoing research into the community will help Sunny Manor stay ahead of the competition and well connected with community. Consider concepts in monitoring the changing demographics of the community and growing health care sector.
  • Propose a research design model including all the key elements of the research design. Apply an assessment tool and implementation plan such as the Model for Improvement (Plan-Do-Study-Act [PDSA]).
  • Conclude with recommending models and/or tools that will be used to evaluate the effectiveness of the development teams’ efforts on an ongoing basis .

The body of the resultant report should be 7 pages and include at least 7 relevant peer-reviewed academic or professional references published within the past 5 years. For a resource guide on using the online library to search for references, please click here.

Cultural Competence

To provide quality healthcare to the entire population, healthcare workers and educators must be competent in their understanding of the relevant characteristics for the ethnic groups represented. This is true both of individuals and of the organizational culture as a whole. For this discussion, consider the following:

  • What is cultural competence and what are its benefits to the patient, staff, and healthcare organization?
  • Identify evidence-based strategies that organizations could employ to establish and maintain cultural competence.
  • What barriers exist regarding cultural competence and how might they be overcome?
  • Describe the cultural competence of your organization. How might it affect the content of or quality of the outcome of your Unit 5 assignment?
  • Reflect on your personal cultural competence. What things will you personally need to be aware of as you complete your Unit 5 assignment?

the topic chosen is high risk pregnant women with multimorbidities and risks. 

  

My program is an individual model of integrated care. This group of integrated care model is concerned with coordination of individual care for patients with multiple conditions or high-risk patients. The reason for choosing individual models of integrated care is that it facilitates appropriate delivery of health services and overcomes fragmentations between health care providers. Additionally, coordination for patients’ care in this model goes beyond a single episode of care, where it coordinates between different providers alongside embracing the concept of integration across life-course.

Patient Education Sheet  

This assignment consists of two important techniques needed to ensure patient safety and quality outcomes related to pharmacological therapies. 

For this assignment, assume your supervisor has asked you to develop a patient education tool for new “medication starts” in your current area of practice. You will complete a literature search in order to discover current information (less than 5 years old) on the medication. This information will then be utilized to prepare a single-page, evidence-based teaching tool that highlights patient safety. In the second part of the assignment, you will describe the process of creating the tool, based on your findings, in a short, scholarly report.  Instructions:  

Part 1: Patient Education Sheet 

•Create a patient education sheet. You can either choose an idea from below or choose your own topic:  ◦Antibiotics (Amoxil/Amoxicillin) for pediatric ear infections. 

◦Statin therapy (Zocor/Simvastatin) for a newly diagnosed patient with hypercholesterolemia. 

◦Antihypertensive (ACE Inhibitors/Lisinopril/Zestril) for a patient who was discovered to have hypertension at a work health screening.

 ◦Drugs for treating gastric acidity: Proton pump inhibitors/antacids/H2 blockers for a patient complaining of chronic indigestion and heart burn. 

◦Ear drops or eye drops for an elderly patient. 

◦Any newly released medication for a patient in your typical practice (can be a new drug for diabetes, hypertension, or arthritis; or a new antibiotic).  

•Research the medication you have chosen and determine what information needs to be included on a patient education sheet. As you are aware, different drugs have different safety factors that have to be discussed to increase compliance and patient safety.  

◦What information does the patient or caretaker of a patient need to know? 

◦Choose the categories that you feel are the most important to highlight for your patients (remember that you are creating a single-page education sheet.)  

◾Limit yourself to 3–5 categories to improve patient understanding. Examples of categories could include, but are not limited to, common indications, side effects, questions to ask your doctor, contraindications, and drug storage and disposal. 

◾Use pictures that help reinforce education.   

•Attach the patient education sheet as an appendix to your paper or attach it as a separate document. 

 Part 2: Justification of Information 

•Justify why you decided to highlight your specific educational topics. 

•Describe your chosen categories and explain why you felt these were key issues for patient safety. 

•Discuss any consideration to the patient’s cultural needs that were incorporated into the design of the patient education sheet. 

•Explain why you feel those format or design elements were important.  Additional Requirements 

•Length of patient education sheet: 1 page. 

•Length of justification paper: 2–3 pages. 

•References: Support your decisions with references to this week’s readings and other current (less than 5 years old) peer-reviewed journal articles and evidence-based materials. Demonstrate your understanding of the relationship between patient safety, quality outcomes, and pharmacology. 

•Formatting: Follow proper APA style and formatting.
