MSN degree, APA format, 2 pages please, 3 references 1 from Walden University Library.  Due Monday 11, 2019 at 7pm.      accrediting Bodies and Regulatory Agencies Like a firework spreading out over the night sky, the history of accreditation overarches much of health care’s past. In the late 1800s, the emphasis on health care practices, procedures, and expectations was much like a fuse that propels a firework into the air. Uniformity of high quality standards was the new goal to reach. As this new goal ignited however, many different organizations and committees began to form, each branching out in its own direction. One association, the American Society of Superintendents of Training Schools of Nursing, pushed to equalize and elevate standards across all schools of nursing. Today, this association is known as the National League for Nursing (NLN), a specialized accrediting body for nursing programs. In 1913, another association, the American College of Surgeons (ACS), began to conduct on-site inspections of hospitals. Out of the 692 hospitals they visited, only 89 met their minimum quality standards. Like the NLN, the ACS continued to grow, later merging with what is known today as the Joint Commission. In this Discussion, you explore the many accrediting bodies and regulatory agencies that accredit and certify academic and clinical settings. To prepare: Review this week’s Learning Resources on accrediting bodies and the overarching accreditation process for academic settings. Review Chapter 2, “Curriculum Development and Approval Processes in Changing Educational Environments,”  in the Keating text. Consider how regulatory agencies accredit and certify clinical settings. In addition, consider why a clinical setting might seek accreditation or certification. Consider the setting your team is investigating for your Course Project. Using the websites listed in this week’s Learning Resources, as well as your own independent research, identify the accrediting body or regulatory agency from which your setting did or could seek accreditation/certification from. Select three standards from this accrediting body or regulatory agency. Conduct a self-study to determine if the setting could or did meet the standards required by this body or agency.

Based on the required topic study materials, write a reflection about worldview and respond to following: In 250-300 words, explain the Christian perspective of the nature of spirituality and ethics in contrast to the perspective of postmodern relativism within health care.

In 750-850 words, answer each of the worldview questions according to your own personal perspective and worldview: (a) What is ultimate reality? (b) What is the nature of the universe? (c) What is a human being? (d) What is knowledge? (e) What is your basis of ethics? (f) What is the purpose of your existence? Remember to support your reflection with the topic study materials.

The Impact of Nursing Informatics on Patient Outcomes and Patient Care Efficiencies In the Discussion for this module, you considered the interaction of nurse informaticists with other specialists to ensure successful care. How is that success determined? Patient outcomes and the fulfillment of care goals is one of the major ways that healthcare success is measured. Measuring patient outcomes results in the generation of data that can be used to improve results. Nursing informatics can have a significant part in this process and can help to improve outcomes by improving processes, identifying at-risk patients, and enhancing efficiency. To Prepare: Review the concepts of technology application as presented in the Resources. Reflect on how emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence may help fortify nursing informatics as a specialty by leading to increased impact on patient outcomes or patient care efficiencies. The Assignment: (4-5 pages) In a 4- to 5-page project proposal written to the leadership of your healthcare organization, propose a nursing informatics project for your organization that you advocate to improve patient outcomes or patient-care efficiency. Your project proposal should include the following: Describe the project you propose. Identify the stakeholders impacted by this project. Explain the patient outcome(s) or patient-care efficiencies this project is aimed at improving and explain how this improvement would occur. Be specific and provide examples. Identify the technologies required to implement this project and explain why. Identify the project team (by roles) and explain how you would incorporate the nurse informaticist in the project team.

Many of us can think of leaders we have come to admire, be they  historical figures, pillars of the industry we work in, or leaders we  know personally. The leadership of individuals such as Abraham Lincoln  and Margaret Thatcher has been studied and discussed repeatedly.  However, you may have interacted with leaders you feel demonstrated  equally competent leadership without ever having a book written about  their approaches. What makes great leaders great? Every leader is different, of  course, but one area of commonality is the leadership philosophy that  great leaders develop and practice. A leadership philosophy is basically  an attitude held by leaders that acts as a guiding principle for their  behavior. While formal theories on leadership continue to evolve over  time, great leaders seem to adhere to an overarching philosophy that  steers their actions. What is your leadership philosophy? In this Assignment, you will explore what guides your own leadership.  To Prepare: Identify two to three scholarly resources, in addition to this  Module’s readings, that evaluate the impact of leadership behaviors in  creating healthy work environments. Reflect on the leadership behaviors presented in the three resources that you selected for review. Reflect on your results of the CliftonStrengths Assessment, and consider how the results relate to your leadership traits. The Assignment (2-3 pages): Personal Leadership Philosophies Develop and submit a personal leadership philosophy that  reflects what you think are characteristics of a good leader. Use the  scholarly resources on leadership you selected to support your  philosophy statement. Your personal leadership philosophy should include  the following: A description of your core values A personal mission/vision statement An analysis of your CliftonStrengths Assessment summarizing the results of your profile A description of two key behaviors that you wish to strengthen A development plan that explains how you plan to improve upon  the two key behaviors you selected and an explanation of how you plan to  achieve your personal vision. Be specific and provide examples. Be sure to incorporate your colleagues’ feedback on your CliftonStrengths Assessment from this Module’s Discussion 2.

In this assignment, you will be writing a 1,000-1,250-word essay  describing the differing approaches of nursing leaders and managers to  issues in practice.

Compare and contrast how you would    expect nursing leaders and managers to approach your selected issue.    Support your rationale by using the theories, principles, skills,    and roles of the leader versus manager described in your  readings. Identify the approach that best fits your personal    and professional philosophy of nursing and explain why the approach    is suited to your personal leadership style. Identify a    possible funding source that addresses your issue. Consider looking    at federal, state, and local organizations. For example: There are    many grants available through the CDC, HRSA, etc. Use at    least two references other than your text and those provided in the  course.
