A train near Jason’s house just derailed. The local authorities said it is carrying hazardous chemicals and that the local population should evacuate the area. Jason walks out on his front porch and doesn’t smell anything unusual so what should Jason do?
The error in the conclusion of “cigarettes cause the pulse rate to increase” is that it cannot be concluded that cigarettes “cause” the pulse rate to increase. Linear correlations measure the association and strength between two variables. Correlations refer to the interdependence or co-relationships between the variables. It reflects the closeness between the x variable which is the independent variable called the predictor and the y variable is the dependent variable, also known as the outcome. The correlation can be determined through using the simple linear regression. This is a procedure that provides an estimate of the value of the outcome based on the predictor. The use of linear correlation and regression is to test the hypothesis of cause and effect, to see whether the two variables are associated and to estimate the value of one variable corresponding to a particular value of the other variable.

Standardized Coding Systems
As a result of the fragmented nature of the health care system, professionals in various specialty areas of medicine have developed their own unique sets of terminology to communicate within that specialty. In the past, limited attention has been given to codifying practices in order for them to be understood and utilized across disciplines or through different information technology systems. The implementation of a federally mandated electronic medical records system, therefore, poses a challenge to nursing professionals and others who must be prepared to utilize standardized codes for the new system. Why are coding standards important for promoting consistent, high-quality care?
According to Rutherford (2008, para. 15), “Improved communication with other nurses, health care professionals, and administrators of the institution in which nurses work is a key benefit of using a standardized nursing language.” In this Discussion you consider the reasoning behind and the value of standardized codification.
To prepare:
How does the nurse manager or leader play a role in the reengineering of health care?
The responses should be long enough to answer the question fully, usually about 2-3 cited paragraphs (each paragraph with a minimum of 3-5 sentences). A minimum of one reference is required.
Needs to be 100% plagerism free. It will be checked against other posters and previous posters.
1) Write a paper (1,000-1,1~`50 words) that addresses types of health care organizational structure and how each type of structure impacts the process and effectiveness of change. Address the following:
a) Why it is necessary for a health care organization to develop a strategic management model that addresses both the concept of change necessary for the growth and sustainability of the organization, and the processes of changing, that is, how does the organization go about accomplishing change?
b) Differentiate between organizational change and transformational change.
c) Where might an organization obtain examples of leadership models that have proven successful in today’s health care environment?
d) Identify and explain tools and advice that can be utilized to assess leadership effectiveness.
2) Prepare this assignment according to the APA guidelines provide quailty intext citations and references
Based on the scientific management theory, some routines in healthcare that are inefficient are the amount of patients seen by a provider in a day. Obviously, providers are meant to care for those that are sick but many times, patients are seen as “objects of money” rather that a person in need. Corporate persons are only looking at how much money a provider can bring in a single day. Not how they are helping the patient. According to our lecture, it states, “According to the foundation of this theory, humans are motivated by money, and there should be a separation between managers and the workers.” (GCU.2017). This states that money is the drive for how a healthcare system is run. Corporate tells the healthcare providers how to give medical care rather than what is good for the patient or not. This is very wrong and should be one of the major efforts of change in healthcare.
Participative decision making exists somewhat in my workplace. Participative decision making theory states that employers encourage ideas or concerns from the employees and therefor can make changes needed according to employee ideas. We have a “change board” in our lounge that we are able to put anonymous concerns and ideas on. Things that we think are needed or can be changed can be put up here. Every month it is read in staff meeting and followed up with management. This is a great idea but rarely works. I have yet to see any changes from the board happen. I know management is busy but if they take the employees ideas and try to work with us then it will improve moral and possible patient outcomes.

Guidance and Coaching Role Differences
The role of teaching and coaching as a registered nurse has similarities and differences with the role of guidance and coaching as an advanced practice nurse. The main similarity between the two roles is patient education. Patient education is done by registered nurses and advanced practice nurses to inform patients about medical procedures, treatment choices, and their medical conditions (Hamric, Hanson, Tracy, & O’Grady, 2014, p. 185). Hameric et al. (2014) explains that patient education is often included in guidance and coaching (p. 185).
Although there are similarities between these two roles, I feel there are more differences than similarities. As a registered nurse when I am teaching and coaching patients I tend to do more teaching and coaching about disease management rather than disease prevention. For example, in the long-term cares setting I may be teaching a patient with congestive heart failure how to lower sodium intake and about the importance of wearing their compression stocking and taking their diuretics to manage their disease. This process follows more closely with the sickness model rather than the wellness model. It would be much more beneficial to teach the patient prior to the congestive heart failure about blood pressure management, low sodium intake, weight loss, and exercise to prevent the congestive heart failure. This would follow more closely with the wellness model. Hamric et al. (2014) describes the advanced practice nurses’ role of guidance and coaching has a holistic approach centered around disease prevention and early interventions (p. 184, 193). I believe this is a very important difference between the role of the registered nurse teaching and coaching and the advanced practice nurse guidance and coaching.
I feel that the most important difference between these two roles is the use of motivational interviewing. As stated in Hamric et al. (2014) motivational interviewing is a technique used by advanced practice nurses to motivate and empower their patients to improve their own health (p. 186). This is achieved by using active listening and open-ended questioning to better understand the patient’s motivation and use this information to empower the patient to make better health care decisions (Hamric et al, 2014, p. 199-200). As a registered nurse this is not a concept I was familiar with and had not previously learned about in my undergraduate degree. This is a very different way to guide and coach patients. I am so used to correcting patient’s misinformation and teaching them about the “right” way to do something. This is a very interesting concept to me which I look forward to exploring.
