   Conceptual-Theoretical-Empirical Structure (CTE) Evaluation Assignment

Details:

Conceptual models, theories, and empirical indicators are linked and provide a nursing knowledge system to apply the model or theory to nursing practice, research, and education. Advanced-practice nurses are required to understand the linkages as applied to nursing and translate the components into practice.  To continue development of nursing knowledge, advanced practice nurses can create structure to test theory. 

General Guidelines:

•This assignment requires that at least three additional scholarly research articles related to this topic, and at least one in-text citation from each source be included.

•You are required to submit this assignment to Turnitin. Please refer to the directions in the Student Success Center.

Directions:

Write a 1,200-1500 word paper examining how the Conceptual – Theoretical – Empirical (CTE) structure translates into nursing practice based on one of the middle range theories that has been formulated or derived from your preferred conceptual model of nursing. Translate and apply the selected theory to nursing practice using actual examples. Evaluate the theory using the CTE steps below:

1.Evaluation of the conceptual-theoretical-empirical linkages.

2.Evaluation of the selected theory.

3.Evaluation of the empirical indicators.

4.Evaluation of research findings.

5.Evaluation of the utility and soundness of the practice theory.

150 words no reference-NURSING RESPONSE POST

The ASAs campaign has been completely devoid of evidence, but they have gotten away with it because they have utilized the media to their advantage, as with this Facebook example.  These days people spend a lot of time on social media and tend to obtain a lot of their information that way, many getting duped by total nonsense.  Unfortunately very few people actually take the time to find real information from legitimate sources. Through out our last discussion, we saw that there is in fact sufficient evidence to prove that CRNAs are as safe as anesthesiologists, but there continues to be a disconnect between this information and the public. And so, I completely agree with that colleague’s statement; “I believe the CRNA associations need to start writing and circulating the research articles to prove otherwise.”  While it is important to continue new research endeavors to build more evidence to fight the VAs ruling and other decisions like it, I believe at this time it is imperative to focus on effectively disseminating the information already available in ways which will easily reach the lay public.  Perhaps utilizing things like videos posted on platforms such as Facebook, and YouTube, which people commonly use to look for information.  These videos could explain what CRNAs do, their safety, cost-effectiveness, while making emphasis on the training necessary to become a CRNA and the difference to a staff RN, as well as the fact that CRNAs are equivalent to anesthesiologists.  It can also make mention of the research already done to support these claims and post links to the articles for further reading.  There could also be videos of interviews done with patients that have been treated by CRNAs and what their experiences were.  

There is a lot of work left to be done and we as SRNAs can join the AANA in its mission “to advance the science of anesthesia through education and research” in many ways. The AANA supports and sometimes funds research conducted by SRNAs.  This research can be presented through the “State of Science” Oral or General Poster Presentations for which they could be $1000 award.  The research can also be presented through the AANA NewsBulletin in a designated section to research called Discoveries of Distinction.

Other ways that SRNAs can participate within the AANA can be through the Student Advocate program which was established in 2015.  The goal of the program is to have a student acting as a liaison between the AANA and the nurse anesthesia programs. The program is currently attempting to have one student advocate per state, but its ultimate goal is to have one student per anesthesia program. Aside from the Student Advocate position, the AANA also has a position for a student on the board of trustees.  This student keeps the flow of information open between the foundation’s board of trustees and SRNAs. Students can also showcase their non-anesthesia related talents like singing or playing a musical instrument, at fundraising events like that of 2014 “The Stars Come out Again”.  There are also multiple meetings and workshops through out the country SRNAs can be part of like the Nurse Anesthesia Annual Congress taking place in September or The Mid-Year Assembly which will take place in Washington D.C. in April 2018, where nurses go to “learn about the healthcare policies impacting nurse anesthesia, and develop the skills needed to effectively advocate for your profession during meetings with your federal legislators.” This will be a good time to learn how we can be most helpful in affecting change as with the current VA debate.

/in /by

Falsification of records and billing are serious offenses and must be treated as such. As a health administrator, you will be called upon to monitor staff to be sure that records and billing are accurate.

In this scenario, consider that you are the assistant manager of operations for the Smith Home Health Care Services. Part of your job is to do impromptu visits where internal audits are completed as a measure to monitor the home health nurses and aides for the company.

You have been observing Barbara Smithers, who has been a home health aide since the company was established in 1995. You notice, before one of your monitoring visits, that Barbara’s billing totals seem higher than the average worker. When you observe her home services and compare them to the services rendered, there is a discrepancy. Going back in her service records, this has been a pattern for at least 4 years. You report this to your supervisor, Ron James. Mr. James meets with Barbara, who finally admits that she has been “padding” the billing for at least 10 years, at the demand of nursing supervisor, Donna Strickland. Mr. James asks you to sit in on a conference with Ms. Strickland and Ms. Smithers and contribute to questioning them and helping make a final decision.

  • If accusations turn out to be true, what would be your recommendation in this case be to the Mr. James? What records do you need to review before the conference? Be sure to cite standards from the False Claims Act.

  • How did the Service fail in its responsibility in monitoring Barbara? Should the facility also be held responsible?

  • Could the Service have avoided this situation? Does 4 years of potential fraudulent billing seem a reasonable time period for no one to notice?

    What are the consequences of this behavior? Is there a criminal case here? What about civil liability? Are there any non-monetary consequences this Service should now be worried about?
