 Specifically the following critical elements must be addressed: 

III. Financial incentives and quality improvement processes 

a) Analyze population health-oriented policies (such as non-discrimination in hiring, care and treatment, Patient Bill of Rights, financial assistance, etc.) that the organization may have implemented for reducing costs and improving overall quality. Be sure to provide evidence to support your claims.

 b) To what extent is the organization’s approach to care considered patient-centered? Be sure to cite specific examples to substantiate your claims. 

c) What specific strategies(such as eliminating unnecessary procedures and providing only essential treatments or interventions) does the organization employ in its population health approach to reduce costs and improve overall quality?

 d) Describe gaps or deficiencies that may exist in the organization’s use of the population health approach in reducing costs and improving quality of care, and provide evidence to support your claims. If you feel there are none, be sure to explain your reasoning. 

As an advanced registered nurse, you will serve as a leader within your organization. Part of this role will entail being a change agent, and spurring positive change on behalf of patients, colleagues, and the industry.

Consider a situation you experienced previously where change did not go as planned in your health care organization. Create a 10-15-slide PowerPoint presentation in which you will assess the situation and the steps that should have been taken to successfully implement change.

1. Describe the background of the situation, including the rationale for and goal(s) of the change.
2. Identify the key interprofessional stakeholders (both internal and external) that should be involved in change efforts.
3. Discuss an appropriate change theory or model that could be used to achieve results.
4. Outline how you would initiate the change.
5. Describe the impact to the organization if the change initiative is unsuccessful again, and potential steps the interprofessional team could take if the change is unsuccessful.

Make sure to include slide notes of 100-250 words for each slide.
