Case Study #1
Don Briggs, RN, is the case manager for a rehabilitation center that is part of a large hospital system that also owns a home health agency, a hospital, an outpatient surgery center, and a network of primary care clinics. The executives of the hospital system have committed to putting an electronic health record (EHR) system in place within the next 3 years. Their vision is to have a system in which patient information can be shared across all of the various units and facilities within the hospital system. Don has been asked to serve on the committee to begin the initial planning phase for the EHR, and he is very excited about this assignment and the potential for the EHR. Don experiences frustration on a daily basis when trying to find information for patients who are being admitted from other sites within the system or trying to coordinate the transfer of information for patients who are being discharged. He hopes the new EHR system will allow the patient’s entire record of health information and health care to be accessible from anywhere within the hospital system.
1. How will the EHR help Don and other nurses across the system be more efficient?
2.How will the EHR affect patients care?
3. What legal and administrative requirements must be considered in planning for the EHR?
4. Some institutions are reluctant to issue passwords to nursing students that would allow them to access the electronic health record (EHR), fearing that this could compromise its security. Is this a legitimate concern? Do you agree with this position? Why or why not?
5. Patient-centered care is defined as the ability to recognize the patient or designee as the source of control and full partner in providing compassionate and coordinated care based on respect for patients preferences, values, and needs. Discuss ways that a nurse can promote patient-centered care in the following health care settings:
Acute care (hospital)
Home health agency
Outpatient clinic.

Create a Power Point slide with a title page, a working thesis, supporting quotes from the book (I prefer you to use quotes from chapters 7-12, but you may use quotes from earlier chapters if needed to support the working thesis), and the last page will be for discussion questions (at least 2 questions, but no more than 3 questions). The questions need to be open-ended, conversation starters.

Write an essay, at least 500 words, responding to Lipsitz’s and Kelley’s essays and to what we’ve been learning in class pertaining to the criminalization of rap music. How was the criminalization of rap music tied to the criminalization of Black youth? What political and social forces wanted to censor rap music and why? How did rappers and their supporters fight back against criminalization and censorship? What should we do with rap music that some might find offensive? Definitely draw on what you learned from reading the essays by Lipsitz and Kelley, but the more opinionated your essay, the better.

Critique the organizations translation and interpretation services that may be available to non-English-speaking patients. In other words, does the organization provide such services? How many different languages are supported? How might the organization communicate with a speaker of a language that is not supported? Be sure to provide evidence that supports your claims.

Social Movements are only as important as the person leading them. The person(s) leading a social movement must have charisma and be able to captivate an audience. Political scientists and historians are taught to analyze body language, especially during debates and speeches.
