Review this week’s media presentation, as well as Chapters 6 and 8 of the Tharpe et al. text and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services article in the Learning Resources.

Week 2: Common Screenings for Women

Many screening procedures are often recommended and routinely used with women to detect diseases in the earliest stages possible. Consider Cindy, who was 28 years old when she received the results of her annual pap smear. The results of the test were abnormal, leading to a diagnosis of human papillomavirus (HPV). While Cindy’s type of HPV did not require treatment, subsequent annual pap smears were highly recommended due to risks associated with the disease. Five years later, after another round of abnormal screening results, Cindy was diagnosed with aggressive cervical cancer, which was then successfully treated (Tamika & Friends, Inc., 2011). For diseases like cervical cancer, screenings and early detection can save patients’ lives, as it did in Cindy’s case. As an advanced practice nurse caring for women, you must be able to provide recommendations for screening tests, interpret test results, and develop care plans that meet the unique needs of patients.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this week, students will:
  • Evaluate strengths and limitations of guidelines for screening procedures
  • Analyze the influence of guidelines on clinical decision making
  • Analyze the impact of advanced practice nurses on issues related to screening guidelines
  • Evaluate diagnoses for patients
  • Evaluate treatment and management plans
  • Understand and apply key terms, principles, and concepts related to clinical guidelines on screening procedures
  • Analyze differences between common screenings for younger women and common screenings for older women

Discussion: Guidelines on Screening Procedures

“THYROID DISEASE”
The goal of health promotion and education is to help prevent disease in patients. However, this is not always successful, and disease it not always preventable. With disease, early detection is ideal, often making screening procedures a routine part of clinical care. Unfortunately, many patients do not utilize these health services. This can be attributed to lack of awareness or access to care, financial concerns, or even levels of comfort with health care providers. In your role as the advanced practice nurse, you must be aware of potential obstacles for patients and implement strategies to ensure patients receive necessary screenings. Although a variety of screening procedures are recommended for women at various stages of life, not all screenings are appropriate for all patients. Understanding the strengths and limitations of each screening, as well as current guidelines for use is essential to effectively facilitate patient care. For this Discussion, the course Instructor will assign a specific topic for you to research.
To prepare:

  • Review this week’s media presentation, as well as Chapters 6 and 8 of the Tharpe et al. text and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services article in the Learning Resources.
  • Research guidelines on screening procedures for the topic assigned to you by the course Instructor (e.g., guidelines on screening for domestic violence, safety, nutrition, osteoporosis, heart disease, mental health, eating disorders, thyroid disease, pap smear, mammogram, cancer, and sexually transmitted infections). Note: The course Instructor will assign a topic to you by Day 1 of this week.
  • Reflect on strengths and limitations of the screening guidelines.
  • Consider how the guidelines might support your clinical decision making.
By Day 3

Post an explanation of the guidelines on screening procedures for the topic assigned to you “THYROID DISEASE”. Include an explanation of strengths and limitations of the guidelines. Then, explain how the guidelines might support your clinical decision making.

By Day 6

Respond to at least two of your colleagues on two different days who were assigned different topics than you. Explain a patient scenario in which your colleague’s guidelines might not be appropriate. Then, explain how you would provide care for the patient in the scenario. Finally, explain how you, as an advanced practice nurse, might be able to impact issues related to these screening guidelines.

Note: For this Discussion, you are required to complete your initial post before you will be able to view and respond to your colleagues’ postings. Begin by clicking on the “Post to Discussion Question” link and then select “Create Thread” to complete your initial post. Remember, once you click on Submit, you cannot delete or edit your own posts, and you cannot post anonymously. Please check your post carefully before clicking on Submit!

Why it is important for marketing to be aligned with strategic planning?

CREATE A GRAPHIC REPRESENTATION OF THE STRATEGIC-PLANNING PROCESS IN A HEALTH CARE ORGANIZATION.

At the beginning of this course, you developed a graphic representation of the strategic-planning process. How has your understanding of this process grown? For this Application Assignment, you will integrate ideas and perspectives presented throughout this course as you expand upon your initial graphic. Prepare for this Application Assignment as follows: What insights have you gained about the strategic planning process throughout this course? Consider the following questions: What new insights about the internal and external factors that influence strategic planning have you gained? What are the key elements of strategy formulation? How do organizations translate their strategic objectives into operational realities? What factors contribute to successful implementation or create barriers that need to be addressed? Why it is important for marketing to be aligned with strategic planning? Why is it important to have the monitoring and evaluation criteria in mind throughout the strategic planning process? How has your awareness of the relationships and connections among various aspects of strategic planning grown? What insights gained throughout this Master of Healthcare Administration program do you think should be incorporated? Revisit the graphic representation of the strategic-planning process you created for the Week 1 Application. How would you revise your assessment of the strategic-planning cycle in light of what you have learned throughout this course? What recommendations do you now have for creating a strategic-planning process that is flexible yet sets the long-term direction for an organization? Then write a 2- to 3-page paper that addresses the following: Create a graphic representation of the strategic-planning process in a health care organization. (This may be a revised version of your Week 1 Application Assignment.) Describe in writing any elements of the strategic-planning process that you are not able to capture in your graphic representation. Describe how your view of the strategic-planning process has grown, including one or more key insights that will guide your future work in health care organizations.

How to Use The Lab Videos
Please do not rely solely on the videos to complete this week’s lab.The videos may not exactly match the official lab instructions, and may not show all the steps required.For full credit, follow the written instructions on the main iLab page and the linked Step-By-Step guides. Check your work against the screen shots in the written instructions and the Lab and Project Grading Criteria provided in Doc Sharing. The videos can still help you, by showing operations that are similar to, but not exactly the same as, those needed for the lab. Use the videos as a rough visual guide, but not as your only source of directions.

If you have any questions, please post in the Q & A Forum or contact your instructor.

STEP 2: Calculate Values (10 points)

Back to Top

You are to create the formulas needed to calculate the total sales for each item, the profit per item, and the profit based on the number of items sold to date. You will also create a formula to calculate total profit-to-date and the remaining profit needed to make the Marching Band goal for the fundraising campaign.

NOTE: In the data provided, there is no column for sales on 7/6/2006. The band did not do fundraising on that date due to bad weather. You do not need to adjust the dates or add a column for the skipped date; just use the sales data as given. The skipped date will not cause any problems.

  1. In cell C5, enter a formula to calculate profit per item. Profit per item is 50%. Format the cells that hold profit as Currency with two decimal places.

  1. Create a formula to calculate the percentage of profit contributed by the sale of each item. All of the other calculations were based on “relative references.” For example, in cell O5, you created a formula N5 * C5. When you copied the formula to the next row, Excel automatically changed the reference to cell N6 and C6. In this instance, we want to divide the total profit from each item (O5 through O14) by the total profit overall (cell D15). The reference to the item will change, but the reference to the total profit to date will remain the same. We can use an absolute reference to do this. In cell P5, we will enter =O5/$D$15. The dollar signs tell Excel to always reference column D and row 15. Next week, we will learn more about relative and absolute cell referencing.

If you have any questions, please post in the Q & A Forum or contact your instructor.

STEP 2: Add Calculations and Format Sales Data Worksheet (10 points)

Back to Top

A formula is used to calculate the percent of asking price, and this formula is applied to all listed sales. You will format the list in an attractive and useful manner.

  1. Calculate the percent of asking price for each sale (selling price divided by asking price). Enter the formula in Column F. Format Column F as a percentage with one decimal.
  2. Format Columns D and E as currency, with no decimals. Format Columns G and H as dates so just the day and month (for example, 5-May) are visible. You will need to use the Number Format dropdown list, select More Number Formats, and select the Date category.
  3. Widen columns to make all data and headings visible. Format titles as appropriate. Bold and center the column headings.

Your Sales Data worksheet will look something like this:

STEP 5: Apply Conditional Formatting (5 points)

Back to Top

You determine that one measure of how well the company “gets your price” is to set a scale. Excellent performance is at or above the asking price. Good performance is between 95% and 100%. Below 95% is average performance. You will create conditional formatting rules to display graphically the performance level for each sale. Make a copy of the original sales data chart. Name the new sheet Conditional Format.

Download the Lab 3, Step 5 Instructions.

  1. Select the data range and insert a table.
  2. Use Advanced Formatting to set up the following conditional formatting rules for the field Percent of Asking Price.
    • Greater than or equal to 100% = GREEN
    • 95% to 99.9% = YELLOW
    • Less than 95% = RED
  3. Use Percent of Asking Price as the Sort Key, and sort by color with green first, then yellow, and then red.

iLAB OVERVIEW

Scenario/Summary

Your friend, Jane Morales, is considering opening a Day Care Center. She has started compiling her assumptions and putting together an Income Statement. She has determined that she must make at least $75,000 profit per year in order to start the business. She has asked you to analyze her Income Statement and help her determine whether it is viable for her to start this business. You have agreed to help her complete her Income Statement and to perform What-If analysis to help her look at her potential profitability.

Deliverables

Turn in one workbook, titled Lab6_yourlastname.xlsx. When submitting the workbook, provide a comment in the Dropbox comments area explaining what you learned from completing this lab activity. IMPORTANT: There are two iLabs this week, and there is a separate Dropbox basket for each one. Be sure to submit your work for this iLab (Lab 6) to the Dropbox basket labeled Week 5: iLab – 6not to the basket labeled simply Week 5: iLab.

iLAB STEPS

STEP 1: Open Worksheet and Complete the Income Statement (15 points)

Back to Top

Jane needs your help in completing her Income Statement. She has provided the basic assumptions, but you need to provide the calculations that will be used as you perform What-If Analysis.

  1. From Doc Sharing (Lab Materials folder), open wk5_chap8_daycare_income_statement.xlsx. Notice that Jane has provided the basic assumptions concerning her costs and her revenue.
  2. Complete the following calculations:

Revenue

    • Total Revenue. Multiply tuition per day times number of days by number of children.

Variable Expenses are those expenses that will depend on the number of children served each year. Jane has provided the assumptions. Define annual costs based on the cost per day multiplied by the number of children multiplied by the number of days:

    • Food Expenses
    • Supply Expenses

Teacher Cost. Create a VLOOKUP function to determine the annual teacher cost. The Lookup Value is the number of children. The Lookup Table is in cells E3:F7. The Index Column is the second column in the table. You want the closest match. Multiply the LOOKUP function times the annual teacher salary.

Total Variable expenses. This will be the SUM of all of the Variable Expenses (B17:B19).

Summary. Use formulas in these cells because you will wish to change the values in your assumption section to see how these changes impact the Net Income.

Total Revenue should refer to the Total Revenue cell (B14).

Total Expense is Variable Costs + Fixed Costs.

Net Income is Total Revenue – Total Expense

  1. Rename the file Lab6_yourlastname.xlsx.

Your Income Statement should look like the one below, but it is important that you have created formulas rather than typing in amounts. As you perform What-If Analysis, the formulas will be recalculated to show you the results of changing assumptions:

STEP 2: Analyze the Difference in Total Expenses and Net Income When You Vary the Number of Students (10 points)

Back to Top

Download the Lab 6, Step 2 Instructions.

Jane desires to look at the differences in her net income depending on the number of children she cares for. Her house will accommodate no more than 15 children, and she believes she should have no less than 6 children. Because you are varying only one of your assumptions, you can develop a one-variable data table. A one-variable data table will allow you to see the impact of changing one variable–and see the results on multiple outputs.

  1. Set up the Data Table to display number of children from 6 through 15. Add a descriptive title to the Data Table.
  2. Show the Expenses and Net Income for each change in number of children.
  3. Populate the Data Table using the Data Tab, What-If Analysis, Data Table tool.
  4. Apply Conditional Formatting to Net Income that is above $75,000.

Your final Data Table should look something like this:

STEP 3: Analyze the difference in Net Income When You Vary the Number of Students and the Charge per Student (10 points)

Back to Top

Download the Lab 6, Step 3 Instructions.

Jane also wishes to look at the impact on Net Income when she varies the number of students and the charge per student. Use a two-variable data table to analyze.

  1. Set up the Data Table to display number of children as the row input (6–15) and charge per student (35–75 in $5 increments) as the column input.

NOTE: In a Data Table, the information in the top row of the table is called the row input and the information in the first column of the table is called the column input. We usually think of the top row in Excel as a column header and the labels in the first column as row labels, so this may seem a bit confusing. Just remember, in a Data Table, the top row is row input; first column is column input.

  1. Enter Net Income in the result cell, and format this cell to display no data.
  2. Add a descriptive heading.
  3. Create the data table and apply conditional formatting to Net Income values over $75,000.

Your Data Table will look something like this:

Jane wants to look at three scenarios.

Scenario Teacher Salary Supplies Number Tuition
Economy 15,000 25 15 35
Midrange 26,000 60 8 50
High 38,000 100 6 100

She wants to see the Net Income that would be achieved in each Scenario and compare this to her original assumptions.

  1. Name the cells that will be used in the Scenario.
  2. Create the three Scenarios.
  3. Create a Scenario Summary.
  4. Move the Scenario Summary to the end of the workbook.

Clinical Governance (CG)
Clinical governance can be described as “…a system of policies, processes and accountabilities directed at improving patient safety and the quality and effectiveness of patient care.”
(Kozier B and Erb, G, Fundamentals of Nursing, vol 2, 2012, page 595.)

The pillars of clinical governance include:
◾Clinical Performance and evaluation:
the use, monitoring, dissemination and evaluation of evidence-based clinical standards
◾Professional development and management:
supports and documents clinical development and the maintenance of professional standards
◾Clinical Risk:
concentrates on minimising risk and improving overall clinical safety
◾Consumer Value:
encourages clinical services to involve their communities in maintaining and improving current
performance and in planning for the future
(Department of Health, 2005 cited in Kozier B and Erb, G, Fundamentals of Nursing, vol 2, 2012, page 596.)

Critical appraisal tools

1 PDSA

The PDSA (acronym for Plan, Do, Study, Act) – also known as PDCA (Plan, Do Check, Act) – cycle helps you to:
◾develop a plan to test the change (Plan)
◾carry out the test (Do)
◾observe and learn from the consequences (Study/Check)
◾determine what modifications should be made to the test (Act)

2 PEPPA

PEPPA is an acronym for Participatory, Evidence-based, Patient-focused Process for Advanced practice nursing role development, implementation and evaluation. The PEPPA framework can help you identify, minimise and prevent the potential barriers for implementation and evaluation of advanced practice nursing roles (Carter et al 2010).

The PEPPA framework has nine steps:
◾steps one to six define models of care that may require an advanced practice nurse (APN) role; and plan and establish appropriate role structures
◾step seven introduces the APN role
◾steps eight and nine evaluate the short- and long-term implications of the new APN role and model of care.
