Select a community organization or group that you feel would be interested in learning about ethical and policy issues that affect the coordination of care. Then, develop and record a 10-12-slide, Create a detailed narrative script for your presentation, 4-5 pages in length.

As coordinators of care, nurses must be aware of the code of ethics for nurses and health policy issues that affect the coordination of care within the context of the community. To help patients navigate the continuum of care, nurses must be proficient at interpreting and applying the code of ethics for nurses and health policy, specifically, the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Being knowledgeable about ethical and policy issues helps ensure that care coordinators are upholding ethical standards and navigating policy issues that affect patient care.

This assessment provides an opportunity for you to develop a presentation for a local community organization of your choice, which provides an overview of ethical standards and relevant policy issues that affect the coordination of care. Completing this assessment will strengthen your understanding of ethical issues and policies related to the coordination and continuum of care, and will empower you to be a stronger advocate and nursing professional.

It would be an excellent choice to complete the Vila Health: Ethical Decision Making activity prior to developing the presentation. The activity provides a helpful update on the ethical principles that will help with success in this assessment.

Demonstration of Proficiency

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

• Competency 4: Defend decisions based on the code of ethics for nursing. 
  • Assess the impact of the code of ethics for nurses on the coordination and continuum of care.
• Competency 5: Explain how health care policies affect patient-centered care. 
  • Explain how governmental policies related to the health and/or safety of a community affect the coordination of care.
  • Identify national, state, and local policy provisions that raise ethical questions or dilemmas for care coordination.
• Competency 6: Apply professional, scholarly communication strategies to lead patient-centered care. 
  • Communicate key ethical and policy issues in a presentation affecting the coordination and continuum of care for a selected community organization or support group. Either speaker notes or audio voice-over are included.

Preparation

Your nurse manager at the community care center is well connected and frequently speaks to a variety of community organizations and groups. She has noticed the good work you are doing in your new care coordination role and respects your speaking and presentation skills. Consequently, she thought that an opportunity to speak publicly about contemporary issues in care coordination would be beneficial for your career and has suggested reaching out to a community organization or support group to gauge their interest in hearing from you, as a care center representative, on a topic of interest to both you and your prospective audience.

You have agreed that this is a good idea and have decided to research a community organization or support group that might be interested in learning about ethical and policy issues related to the coordination of care. Your manager has suggested the following community organizations and support groups, but acknowledges that the choice is yours.

• Homeless shelters.
• Local religious groups.
• Nursing homes.
• Local community organizations (Rotary Club or Kiwanis Club).

To prepare for this assessment, you may wish to:

• Research your selected community organization or support group.
• Review the Code of Ethics for Nurses With Interpretive Statements and associated health policy issues, specifically, the ACA.
• Review the assessment instructions and scoring guide to ensure you understand the work you will be asked to complete.
• Allocate sufficient time to rehearse your presentation before recording the final version for submission.

Note: Remember that you can submit all, or a portion of, your draft presentation to Smarthinking Tutoring for feedback, before you submit the final version for this assessment. If you plan on using this free service, be mindful of the turnaround time of 24–48 hours for receiving feedback.

Instructions

For this assessment:

• Choose the community organization or support group that you plan to address.
• Develop and record a presentation, with typed speaker notes (the script for your voice recording) and audio voice-over recording, intended for that audience. Video is not required.

Note: PowerPoint has a feature to type the speaker notes directly into the presentation. You are encouraged to use that feature or you may choose to submit a separate document. See Microsoft Office Software for technical support about the use of PowerPoint, including voice recording and speaker notes.

Note: For this assessment, develop your presentation slides and speaker notes, then record your presentation. You are not required to deliver your presentation to an actual audience but you certainly could if you chose to.

Presentation Format and Length

You may use PowerPoint (recommended) or other suitable presentation software to create your slides and add your voiceover. If you elect to use an application other than PowerPoint, check with your faculty to avoid potential file compatibility issues. You can also record your presentation using Kaltura or similar software.

Be sure that your slide deck includes the following slides:

• Title slide. 
  • Presentation title.
  • Your name.
  • Date.
  • Course number and title.
• References (at the end of your presentation).

Your slide deck should consist of 10–12 slides, not including a title and references slide with typed speaker notes and audio voice over. Your presentation should not exceed 20 minutes.

Create a detailed narrative script for your presentation, approximately 4–5 pages in length.

Supporting Evidence

Cite 3–5 credible sources from peer-reviewed journals or professional industry publications to support your presentation. Include your source citations on a references page appended to your narrative script.

Grading Requirements

Regulatory Requirements, Leadership, and Risk Management

The Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 and the institution of the  Inpatient Prospective Payment System of 2007 were sentinel events for  health care leaders with respect to quality management and regulatory  compliance. The creation of Present on Admission (POA) and “never  events” accountability required health care leaders to change processes  and to assess and manage potential risks. Additionally, these events  required leaders to effectively intervene for assurance of quality care  or risk denial of payment for services (Youngberg, 2011, pp. 70–71, 78).  The era of accountable care organizations was driven by policy change.

Review the Hospital Acquired Condition (HAC) list from Appendix 7-B on page 79 in your Principles of Risk Management and Patient Safety text.

Imagine that you are the risk manager of an accountable care  organization. Select one never event from the list on page 79 and  describe how you would institute proactive monitoring for POAs. For this  discussion:

• Describe how you would intervene when an HAC occurred.
• Identify departments or functional areas that would be involved in reporting to regulatory entities.
• Describe problem resolution.
• Describe how you would use the data from the lesson learned for organizational improvement.

An outline format is acceptable for this discussion as long as you  include in-text citations. Distinguished posts will describe, in 1–3  sentences, the role of a risk manager and briefly define an accountable  care organization, using a government or other credible industry source.  Additionally, distinguished posts will include a short 3–5 sentence  summary on how to create a culture to enhance voluntary, non-punitive  reporting of “never events.” Include a minimum of one peer-reviewed or  best practice resource.

Initial posts should be based upon peer-reviewed, evidence-based  literature. In your post, include at least one APA-formatted in-text  citation and accompanying, congruent APA-formatted reference. Your  source can be a course textbook, assigned reading, or other scholarly  source.
