The areas of provision and reimbursement of health care services have each undergone considerable changes in the past several years, with the following current trends identified as being the most significant contributors to change:

1. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (also referred to as the ACA or “Obamacare”) and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010
2. Bundled payment structure versus fee-for-service payment structure
3. Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs)
4. Technology and Telemedicine
5. Medicare Advantage Plans
6. Population health management strategies

Using your employer/organization’s resources, appropriate websites, and the GCU Library as your informational foundations, research these trends and others you may find relevant, and write a 1,250-1,500 word essay in which you examine the following:

1. Which of the currently identified health care trends overall are already impacting your employer/organization, or an organization in your city/region in your health care field?
2. Which of the currently identified health care trends are specifically impacting your sector of allied health, and why?
3. What emerging health care trends on the horizon may impact your employer/organization and/or your specific allied health sector?
4. Which of the current or emerging trends do you see as most likely to positively impact your specific role and sector in allied health?  Which trends are most likely to negatively impact it? (Examples: wages, job security, educational requirements, etc.)
5. How will the trends you identify impact safety, risk management, and/or quality improvement policies in your organization/and or an organization in your city/region in your health care field?

Each annotation must address the following critical elements:

• Explanation of the main purpose and scope of the cited work
• Brief description of the research conducted
• Value and significance of the work (e.g., study’s findings, scope of the research project) as a contribution to the subject under consideration
• Possible shortcomings or bias in the work
• Conclusions or observations reached by the author
• Summary as to why this research lends evidence to support the potential problem identified specific to your role specialization.

Group Project

Group members need to assume AP roles (clinical and non-clinical) either by volunteering or being assigned by the group leader. A group leader must be decided and may be a nurse manager/nurse administrator, CNS, NP (maybe more than one and from different specialties), NI, and NE. CNLs and RNs may be also be part of the group scenario.  (there are 4 group members)

All members are expected to demonstrate leadership knowledge and skills, but also must be willing to follow. Each group will demonstrate the core competencies and principals of transformational leadership in the group work. (See rubric). The final evidence of the group work will be power point presentation that discusses the scenario addressing the assigned domain, the roles and the outcomes. 

The master’s prepared nurse demonstrates leadership in the four domains: the profession of nursing, clinical practice arena, health policy arena, and systems level. The impact could be found in health promotion, disease prevention/management, quality improvement and/or within management of a health system. 

In conclusive remarks, search and agree upon a quotation from a library article related to leadership in an advanced nursing role and include with how it applied to your clinical decision/management issue of your assigned domain. Leadership journals from SOU Library are The Journal of Nursing Scholarship or Nursing Leadership Forum or the American Journal of Nursing, Journal of Nursing Administration, Nursing Administration Quarterly, Nursing Management or Health Care Management Review

Library quotation:

“transformational leaders who set clear expectations, praise employees for good performance, are fair, and are concerned about employees may play a part in bringing about feelings of attachment to one’s work and psychological safety”
