HCM 345 – Mod 4 – Please select either one, do not do both. Read the details and Rubric.

OPTION #1: MEDICAL MALPRACTICE
Medical malpractice laws vary from state to state. Research the medical malpractice laws in the state you live in or the state where you hope to work as a healthcare provider. Imagine that you are already working in the healthcare field. It is your responsibility to develop a training for new medical providers to complete before they are allowed to treat patients. The training will be computer generated and you are the voice over. Prepare a power point presentation that briefly covers the laws of medical malpractice in your state.

Identify and provide a thorough analysis of the key aspects of the law that medical providers need to be aware. Also include several strategies and rationales to prevent or avoid a medical malpractice lawsuit.

Your presentation should meet the following requirements:

Be well-organized, using APA level headings to separate your topics. (For more information on APA headings, see the Purdue OWL page on APA headings and structures (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site..)
Consist of 5-6 slides including the title and reference page.
Include a voice over for each power point slide. This should include a narration of the content included on each slide. Since you are using voice over, your slides do not necessarily need to contain words but instead can be filled with graphs, charts, infographics, etc. For technical support on adding voice over to your PowerPoint use this link: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/record-a-slide-show-with-narration-and-slide-timings-0b9502c6-5f6c-40ae-b1e7-e47d8741161c (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site..
Support your assignment with at least 2-4 scholarly, legislative, or court references (of which the textbook may be one). Use current sources, not older than 5 years. The CSU-Global Library is good place to find these references.
Follow the CSU-Global Guide to Writing and APA Requirements (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site..

A small medical office needs a database system designed. The design starts with a visualized conceptualization carried by an entity-relationship diagram (ERD). Create this ERD by completing the following steps:

1. Identify all involved in the database system so your ERD accurately “captures” the entire process, actors, and relationships (e.g., staff, patients, suppliers, carriers, etc.).
2. Identify and list entities and attributes for each entity.
3. Make sure you designate an attribute to serve as a primary key per each entity. Explain why that attribute “deserves” to be designated a primary key.
4. Briefly define business rules. (Example: One patient can’t schedule more than one appointment at a time.)

It is important that you have a clear understanding of key concepts such as entity, attribute, primary key, foreign key, referential integrity, relationships, ERD, etc., before starting to work on the assignment.
Example:
Entity – Nurse
Attributes: Employee ID (Primary Key), Name, Address, DOB, SSN, License Number.

The ERD should be created using one of the following options:

1. Draw using a free drawing tool available online, such as SmartDraw (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. or Lucid Chart (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site..
2. Draw using software you already own, such as Visio (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. or Argo UML (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site..
3. Draw by hand and take a snapshot with a camera.

Overview

Prison programs encompass different forms of structured activities that take inmates out of their cells. Programs can take different forms. They can be based on different theories, principles, and philosophies. Varying correctional programs are utilized to manage inmate time. Program types include rehabilitative, psychological, medical, industrial, recreational, and facility maintenance. These programs often mitigate the oppressiveness of time, and keep inmates engaged rather than idle while behind bars.

Instructions

View the Riverbend City: Prison media piece. Focus on the tab Prison Programs.

You have been tasked, by the warden, with creating a presentation that will be used at an upcoming corrections conference, focusing on developing a better understanding of the dimensions of programs. Two pages in length, addressing the following about programs that fall into different classifications. Based on what you viewed in the media piece:

Describe one potential program to address an identified need that would fall into one of the following program types:

IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING WORD LIMIT REQUIREMENTS:

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

Obesity is the major risk factor for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), whereas an excessive intake of alcohol is the main driver of alcoholic fatty liver disease (AFLD). However, not all obese individuals have NAFLD, and not all individuals who consume large amounts of alcohol develop AFLD. Also, far from all individuals with simple steatosis (the first stage of both NAFLD and AFLD) go on to develop steatohepatitis, cirrhosis, or end-stage liver disease. A large part of this inter-individual variation is due to genetic factors. Some individuals carry susceptibility-increasing genetic variants that make them more vulnerable to developing NAFLD, and to the progression of the disorder. Conversely, some lucky individuals carry genetic variants that protect their livers from the deleterious effects of obesity or alcohol intake. Twin studies indicate that 50% of the risk of fatty liver disease is genetically determined. This heritability estimate is comparable to those of other complex traits such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, or ischemic heart disease. Additional evidence in support of a strong genetic component to NAFLD is the fact that the disorder varies greatly in prevalence among different ethnic groups. Three common (minor allele frequency > 0.05) steatogenic genetic variants with robust and replicable effects have been identified so far: PNPLA3 I148M, TM6SF2 E167K, and GCKR P446L. Together these variants explain less than 10% of the variation in hepatic fat content or approximately 20% of the total heritable component of hepatic steatosis. Thus, the major fraction of genetic variation that contributes to the development of fatty liver disease remains unknown. With only three genome-wide association studies GWAS published so far (two of these based on the same cohort), the field of fatty liver GWAS is still in its infancy. Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is a complex disease in which genetic variations and environmental factors interact to determine disease phenotype and progression. Progress in the understanding of the genetic risk of NAFLD might offer the unique opportunity to translate this information into clinical practice. However, only a minor fraction of the genetic risk for fatty liver disease has been discovered. Furthermore, the relative importance of genetic and environmental factors will vary between populations depending on background modifier genes, lifestyle choices/challenges, and other factors such as the intestinal microbiome (Stender, Grarup, Hansen, 2019)

Preparing a Strategic Career Plan

Graduation and certification are the beginning of your career as an NP. Whether you are looking for that dream job or you have decided to open your own practice as an independent NP, you need a plan to get there. Before the Web and social media, job hunting was relatively simple. Job hunters perused the classifieds, made cold calls, and many times just showed up with a resume in hand. There has been a dramatic change in the last decade in how people find and get jobs, and NPs are no exception. For those seeking employment now, there is a wealth of resources available from mega employment websites to specialty blogs. Finding a job as an NP may not be a big challenge, but landing the position that you have passionately prepared for and pursued is going to take some work. A well-crafted cover letter and resume may be necessary items, but it may not be enough to get you exactly where you want to be. With so many opportunities and career trajectories available to NPs today, you need to focus and get serious about what you want to do and where you want to do it.

Directions

In this Assignment, you will develop your own strategic career plan for starting your new career as an NP. There are many steps that need to be accomplished. Use the following guidelines to design your career plan. You do not need to include references. This is a plan that you may layout how you wish. Be creative, and really think about what you desire as a nurse practitioner. As everyone will have different goals, there are no right or wrong answers in this plan.
