How would your communication and interview techniques for building a health history differ with each patient?
How might you target your questions for building a health history based on the patients social determinants of health?
What risk assessment instruments would be appropriate to use with each patient, or what questions would you ask each patient to assess his or her health risks?
Identify any potential health-related risks based upon the patients age, gender, ethnicity, or environmental setting that should be taken into consideration.
Select one of the risk assessment instruments presented in Chapter 1 or Chapter 5 of the Seidel’s Guide to Physical Examination text, or another tool with which you are familiar, related to your selected patient.
Develop at least five targeted questions you would ask your selected patient to assess his or her health risks and begin building a health history.
You will use this case example, look for your names:

What are some of the issues associated with caregivers sanitizing their hands? Why do you suppose only 40 percent of caregivers sanitize their hands? What other department personnel, besides nursing, may need to enter a patients room during his/her stay?
Who should be on this task force to represent which hospital functions and why? To whom should the task force report its results and why?
How would the problem look different if it turned out only a handful of personnel were non-compliant? How would this affect the improvement process?
Compose a one- to two-page paper that includes your answers to the questions above.

Remember to always cite your sources using APA Style format. Be sure to support your paper with references from the weeks readings and other relevant resources.

Consider how data analysis contributes to safe, high quality, efficient delivery of healthcare.  Investigate the role of information management in the evaluation of outcome achievement and provision of data to drive strategic decision-making.    Identify one specific data point for which information is collected within a healthcare system.  Develop a 4 – 6 page paper to address the rubric expectations; use a minimum of 5 scholarly sources to support your work.
1.    Provide an introduction to the paper.
2.    Explain one selected data point and the purpose for the collection of this data within the healthcare system. Describe how this data point measures quality, safety, and/or efficiency within the system.  Discuss one internal or external benchmark surrounding this data point that serves as a measure or indicator of success.
3.    Describe a case scenario where outcomes regarding this data point fall short of meeting the required benchmark. Identify the stakeholders impacted by the poor outcome, and the consequences realized by each stakeholder.  Discuss the potential impact on organizational quality, safety, and/or efficiency that results.
4.    Describe how outcomes surrounding this data point reflect organizational performance regarding quality, safety, or efficiency.  Explain how the data in the case scenario can inform strategic decision-making to improve organizational outcomes. Create an action plan to correct the poor outcomes noted in the case scenario.  Explain the action steps, stakeholder involvement, influencing factors that will impact the plan. 
5.    Provide a conclusion to the paper.

Design nursing care strategies which incorporate genetic and genomic risk factors.

Scenario

You are feeling passionate about developing information to share with your clients and families that have positive genetic testing results. A young couple approaches you concerned that they may have a child with Down syndrome as both the male and female in the relationship have siblings with Down syndrome. You decide to create an educational document that supports the family in their search for more information.

Instructions

Describe educational information that a couple may need to know before the birth of their baby. What testing can be recommended? How is this testing done and when in the gestation?
After birth, what resources can be offered to this couple to care for their newborn with Down syndrome?

2.    Explain the impact his decision had on patient safety and organizational performance (risk for litigation, organization’s quality metrics, workload of other hospital departments, etc.).
3.    As Mike’s manager, describe how you would address the issue with him and steps you would take to ensure other staff members do not repeat the same kind of mistake.
4.    Reflect on the scenario and describe what underlying aspects or issues may be contributing to workplace dilemmas such as this.
5.    Consider the manner in which most health care organizations function (structure, people, technology, environment). As a leader, discuss what principles of organizational behavior and development can be applied to effectively contribute to the success of a health care organization. How could these principles be applied to this scenario?
