Abuse Fraud and Waste Controls in the Affordable Care Act Discussion

The Affordable Care Act (ACA) identifies requirements related to provider compliance with fraud, waste, and abuse laws that have been enacted to protect consumers. Research three of these requirements and describe the corresponding measures that your health care organization has initiated, or could initiate, to comply with the ACA. Support your analysis with a minimum of two peer-reviewed articles.

Quality Improvement Proposal

Assume that you have recently been hired as the special assistant to the chief executive officer (CEO) of your health care organization, Thunder Hospital. Your duty is to head up the new quality improvement department. Over the last year, the hospital has experienced substantial growth but is also facing a number of patient safety concerns, including a steady increase in medical errors and a 25% rise in hospital-acquired infections. Based upon what you have learned in this course, prepare a quality improvement plan to present to the CEO with strategies for addressing these issues.

In a 1,000-1,250-word proposal, include the following:

  1. Identify the issues the hospital is currently facing and how they are affecting quality outcomes and endangering patients.
  2. Present a detailed plan to improve quality and elaborate on how it aligns with the hospital’s initiatives to improve value-added health care. Discuss the quality improvement tool you suggest using to locate and ameliorate problem areas, as well as the roles and responsibilities of involved stakeholders, financial considerations for the implementation of your proposal, the goals of the plan, and methods for evaluating its success.
  3. Examine the effects that the implementation of this proposal will have upon administrators, clinicians, and physicians. Explore possible challenges that could arise with stakeholders reacting negatively to changes presented by this proposed plan. What strategies or preventive measures could be put in place to reduce the friction between various health care providers?
  4. How will your plan improve overall quality for Thunder Hospital? How will the improvements your plan suggests implementing now set the hospital up to continue providing quality care in the future?

The Principle of Beneficence Discussion

IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING WORD LIMIT REQUIREMENTS:

Please note that each and every assignment has its own word limit.

 

Health communication should adhere to the principles of beneficence, non-maleficence, respect for personal autonomy, and justice. The exchange between health professionals and patients should involve informed consent regarding the purpose and nature of the intervention and possible alternatives.

The Belmont Report is one of the most important documents for professionals who are responsible for the protections of Human participants in research. The principle of Beneficence addresses the ethical obligations applied to these protections. I have uploaded the pdf along with the link to the HHS.gov site. Take a quick glance at the opening statement and the ethical sub topic and share your perspective on the importance of ethical considerations when engaging participants in research. This is not an assignment , nor is this a mandatory request; responses count toward participation. I value your perspective and would like to prompt a discussion among your peers.

Bias with Epidemiology & Selection and Information Response

IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING WORD LIMIT REQUIREMENTS:

Please note that each and every assignment has its own word limit.

 

 

There are two major types of bias with epidemiology, selection and information bias. Selection bias occurs when the subjects studied are not representative of the target population about which conclusions are to be drawn. It can also be defined as a bias resulting from inappropriate selection of controls in case-control studies, bias resulting from differential loss-to-follow up, incidence–prevalence bias, volunteer bias, healthy-worker bias, and nonresponse bias. Epidemiologists apply the term “selection bias” to many biases, including bias resulting from inappropriate selection of controls in case-control studies, bias resulting from differential loss-to-follow up, incidence–prevalence bias, volunteer bias, healthy-worker bias, and nonresponse bias (Robins, 2014).

Information bias results from systematic differences in the way data on exposure or outcome are obtained from the various study groups. This may mean that individuals are assigned to the wrong outcome category, leading to an incorrect estimate of the association between exposure and outcome (Hennekens, 1987).

An example of a bias study by Roerecke, bias in alcohol epidemiology is a serious issue that needs careful investigation due to the possibility for selection bias with alcohol. Investigations of potential bias are important in any scientific analysis to derive meaningful conclusions about the validity of the risk relations between exposures and disease outcomes. The risk of bias in any epidemiological (observational) study is a serious issue and every effort should be undertaken to avoid, reduce and investigate potential risk of bias. To minimize the bias risk with ETOH, one would have to look at the cause-specific disease outcomes and not overall mortality, because we know that alcohol consumption has many differential biological effects on the human body (Roerecke, 2017).
The implications of making inferences based on data with bias includes lack of proper treatment and missed opportunities to address the illness
