Be sure to read ABOUT THE DATA sections.

Professionals who work in hospitals: health information management + clinical professionals + administration all collect data (primary) and report that data to CMS.

Then, other professionals can use these results, shown on this website, for benchmarking, while patients can use it to determine which provider to use.

In your own words, explain how you might perform Primary Research to collect data…in your future job position.

In your own words, explain how you might use Secondary Research in your future job position to benchmark some of these outcomes.

On the Discussion Board we will be exploring conceptual models.

Hamric’s Integrative Model of Advance Practice Nursing

The AACN Synergy Model

Strong Memorial Hospital’s Model of Advance Practice Nursing

Shuler’s Model of Nurse Practitioner Practice

This week you will describe how these models may help APNs articulate professional role identify and function. Conceptual models will serve as a framework for organizing beliefs and knowledge about your professional roles and competencies and provide a basis for further development of knowledge.

Question: Select one model from the above list and read the original source description. Address how well the model meets the following purposes:

a. Helping to organize your beliefs and knowledge about advanced practice nursing

b. Providing structure for research on advanced practice nursing

c. Providing a coherent structure in which concepts important to advanced practice nursing are identified and related to one another

d. Guiding curriculum development for advanced practice nursing

e. Allowing practitioners to see the bigger picture so that they can provide holistic and comprehensive care

Guidelines: Support your responses with scholarly academic references using APA style format. You are not writing an APA paper–but citing your sources in APA format.

Diabetes Mellitus

Diabetes Mellitus is a disease is a disease that results in high amounts of sugar in the blood. This disease prevents the human body from adequately using energy which is generated by the food on takes. The causes of this disease have not yet been found. Diabetes mellitus symptoms include high levels of thirst and hunger, dry mouth, and frequent urination, among others. Diabetes Mellitus is a severe medical condition whose impact on nurses and stakeholders is to be discussed, and a solution for solving this problem be determined as soon as possible.

Diabetes impacts nurses by making them educate patients or other healthcare personnel on diabetes; it also makes the nurse deliver direct care to their patients. This leads to a reduction of inpatient care and complications as well as reduced patient length in the hospital.  Its impact on nursing care has led to strict and all-time supervision of patients who have this condition. The nursing care department has made it crucial to provide the necessary and required care to patients. It has also led to the nursing department to promote self-care management plan to these patients(“American Diabetes Association”, 2015). The condition’s impact on health care organizations has been tremendous in terms of costs that have been used or research and finding the cure for this condition. It has also led to increased medicare costs for organizations that offered free treatment to diabetic patients. However, this does not mean the quality of the care provided has decreased, but rather it has improved drastically over the past few years, ensuring diabetic patients get the required medical attention.

Local stakeholders of this disease are the patients who are affected by this disease, their family members, and the local healthcare providers. The patients are the people who are affected by diabetes Mellitus. These people need adequate healthcare and the best possible treatment or care which they can get. Family members are people of the same kin as the patient. These are the people who are immediately affected by the impact of the disease on the affected individual. They are usually involved either financially or emotionally. Usually, they help the person deal with the burden of medical expenses. The healthcare providers are the people who provide the required help to the affected individuals. They usually comprise of diabetes specialist nurses, doctors, and psychologists.

The cure for diabetes has not been discovered yet, but research is being carried out. In my local community, the issues of diabetes have been addressed through creating awareness of some of the causes of this disease. Seminars have been designed, and diabetes specialists are invited to explain more about this condition and means of avoiding getting it(Harries et al.,2016). These specialists also took the initiative of visiting different schools to create awareness of this disease. The intervention that would be implemented locally address this issue is banning the use of processed food or take away foods. This foods usually lead to obesity which is one of the significant causes of diabetes Mellitus. If the foods cannot be banned, then the purchases made by these people should be governed by setting limits on the amount of processed food one purchases.

Diabetes Mellitus is a medical condition which affects both the patient, stakeholders and nursing care in different ways. It is so common that it has led to an increase in the research cost to find the cure. Every person has a responsibility to live a healthy life to reduce the prevalence of this condition.

Instructions

Based on your selected MSN program, write your first section of your ROLE (the role chosen is family nurse practitioner) paper using the following criteria:

For this assignment, you will research an advanced nursing practice role and summarize your findings in a 2-4 page paper (excluding the title page and references):

• Focusing on the specialty for which you were admitted to South University, select an advanced nursing role to research. (It must be one offered by South University.)
• Distinguish the role as clinical or non-clinical and how it promotes patient outcomes, ie safety, access to health care or health information relative to the ANP level
• Apply an Advance Nursing Practice Concept to your chosen role
• Develop a minimum of ten questions that you would like to ask the advance practice clinician or non-clinician that you have chosen to interview.  Identify in the paper the individual by name, credentials, position and your planned date for the interview (Interview is due Week 3)
• Support your findings with at least two research articles (study, design, sample and results must be discussed). Other peer reviewed articles that are non-research and nursing organization websites may be used. All articles must be current (not more than five years old, unless it is a hallmark reference; i.e. American Association of College of Nursing. (2010)).
