ASSIGNMENT: What competencies were you able to  develop in researching and writing the Comprehensive Project due in Unit 5? How did you leverage feedback from your peers in the Discussion Board for Units 1- 4 in completing the Project? How will these competencies and knowledge support your career advancement in management?

UNIT 5 Project to use as reference:

Quality Improvement in the Health Care Organization Accreditation 

The mandate for improving the way in which health care is delivered was stimulated by the public outcry over the estimated 98,000 deaths because of medical errors each year, according to the Institute of Medicine in 1999. Since then, health care organizations have sought means by which the public can be reassured that they were meeting quality and safety standards. Accreditation agencies (such as JCAHO) and quality awards (such as the Consumer Choice Award, Reuters 100 Top Hospitals, HealthGrades, National Committee for Quality Assurance, Malcolm Baldridge Award, Magnet Status, and other memberships) provide a means for the public to evaluate where  the agency is meeting minimum standards. 
You have been assigned by your manager to determine which accrediting agencies or quality improvement programs your hospital will utilize in its upcoming revenue cycle. Your hospital is a magnet hospital in a large urban area that provides multilayered services. You have previously used JCAHO for your accreditation but feel that you might be better served by using another accreditation body. You have three  months in which to gather data and present the information to your manager. 

Choose 3 quality improvement/accreditation related programs to consider in replacing JCAHO for your organization, and briefly describe them. Note: Your agency accepts Medicare and Medicaid payments; therefore, you will need to explore, as background, the conditions of participation for Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). This is important information because you will need to compare your list of accrediting agencies and quality improvement programs with the conditions of participation to see if they meet the criteria.
Analyze the costs and benefits of each quality improvement/accreditation related program by stakeholder group (e.g., patient, provider, and third-party payer).
Rank order your quality improvement/accreditation related program suggestions with rationale.

1. (B. Smi)
Social Media use has increased tremendously over the years and its influence has sky rocketed along with it. Social Media is not only limited to the internet but includes music, television, and video games. The impact of social media on the development and decision-making of adolescents is so important as social media often shapes attitudes and beliefs.
Potential Impacts of Social Media and Technology
Research has linked playing violent video games to increased aggressive behavior in adolescents and teens. Broderick & Blewit (2015) indicated that the more children within the U.S. and Japan played these games, the more aggressive behavior they displayed. There was also a reported decrease in prosocial behavior and empathy.
Broderick & Blewitt report continuous engrossment of violent video games could also result in an adolescent becoming antisocial. Research highlights that youth are not simply playing these games but they are interacting emotionally and psychologically (Broderick & Blewiit, 2015).  Essentially, processing and practicing the violent behaviors they are subjected to within the games.
How Influences Impact Decision-Making in Adolescents
Impacts of social media extend far beyond violence to include sexual and materialistic agendas. A great example of this could be music videos. Often times, rappers or singers are discussing drugs, fast money, and unlimited and likely unprotected sex with women. These same views can be obtained by any of the many television shows on air at this current moment or in the past few years.
Research has indicated that social media and television shows that display sexuality more liberally have been linked to an increase in sexual behavior of adolescents (Broderick & Blewitt, 2015). Study results reveal that individuals who were exposed to such materials began participating in sexual activities earlier and had more sexual partners than those who were not exposed to these particular television programs.
Similar to that of sexuality and sexual behaviors, social media can influence a child in the arena of substance abuse.  Strassburger (2010) insists that the easiest way for a child to do something is to have them believe that everyone else  is also participating in that behavior. An example of this is discussed within the article in regards to adolescent and teen drinking and smoking. Strassburger (2010) reports that children were most likely to drink alcohol or smoke cigarettes after viewing similar scenes in a movie.
Summary
The impact of social media is so strong and lasting as it is literally everywhere we turn. Adolescents have access to smart phones, computers, laptops, radios, televisions, and video games. Each of the aforementioned items run some sort of advertisement to push an agenda that ultimately shapes that child’s attitudes and beliefs. Commercials, ads, and games are typically discussing sex, body image, drug abuse, contraception, and many other subjects that parents should get in front of. Strassburger (2010) stressed the importance of parents not allowing their adolescents to see movies they are not rated R or PG-13 in order to help control the information they receive about these topics.

2. (S. Mor)
The impact of social media on adolescent development is nothing new as we know it to be in society, but the mode or means in which social media is delivered evolves continuously throughout history. In the past social media would be depicted in novels or comic books exposing sexual, political, racial, or religious content that would incite adolescents to into risky behavior. Social media and technology contribute to adolescents in many ways some are positive while others are negative. In the medical field doctors are able to stay in touch with their adolescent patients by texting them reminders of appointments (Strasburger, 2010). The U.S. Senate discovered that the violence portrayed in the media actually adds to aggression seen in adolescents, discovered in 1952 (Strasburger, 2010). Social media has impacted the developmental and environmental influences, and this is also shown through the use of the ever changing technology that we gravitate too. Adults are also impacted with the use of Social media and there is a strong sense of staying connected with your children currently that drives us into wanting the best technology for them.
