1. What does Sue need to know about herself to determine how she will make decisions about providing care for indigent persons? Pg 228 Sue needs to address many aspects of intrapersonal biases that every individual has about the relationship they might have when dealing with indigent patients. Sue needs to identify and set aside any personal bias about what she feels is right for the patient without taking into consideration if it correlates with the autonomy of the patient to make their own health care decisions. Sue must realize her own limitations and the workload that is cast upon her by society, which may leave her feeling inept in providing every aspect of care that could be given to a patient. With her potential feelings of inadequacy, Sue needs to maintain her integrity and veracity in her relationship with indigent patients (Jacob, 2011). 2. In what phase of the policy making process would Sue enter to initiate changes? …show more content…

After reviewing the tables from chapter 63 and watching Pheridan’s video, I can safely say that patient safety was of highest concern, which needs more reinforcement. The ill-fated experience of Sue Cheridan is an unfortunate example of ineffective communication among health care professional. Lack of advocacy was another area that I believe was extremely neglected as the health care workers failed many times necessary to advocate or run a bilirubin test on Sue’s son, Carl and to order further testing for her husband’s tumor. As a result, Sheridan loss her husband and her child suffered severe brain damage. After her family misfortune, Sheridan became involved in several organization seeking and advocating for patient safety and better health

An example of this right is the Patient Self Determination Act.

Before conducting this research I hypothesized that physicians’ experiences could help improve health policy and health law. My hypothesis was based on the fact that physicians have first-hand experience with what is going on in the healthcare system and are the ones that have to carry out health laws and policies. So, by listening to the experiences of physicians, policymakers could gain insight on what is working, not working and what needs to be improved within the healthcare system. The question that this study focused on was what is the hospitalist experience with New York’s Family Health Care Decisions Act (2010) at the University of Rochester Medical Center? In regard to this Act I wanted to see how using hospitalists’ experiences could be used to improve the Act.

As a health care administrator, I feel that it is important to find a balance between the Big 8 theorists. The globe view theorists, Aquinas, Kant, Mill, and Rawls, all show how a person’s actions can affect more than the person herself. I appreciate the theory from Kant that a person cannot use a person to get ahead in life (Morrison, 2009). This is also true when making regulations for your healthcare facility. When you realize your true reason for enacting new rules, you will know if the rules are for the good of the company or for selfish reasons.

The institute believes that there are six goals in health care that should be met. They believe that health care should be safe, effective, patient-centered, timely, efficient, and equitable. (Institute of Medicine, 2001) This book emphasizes that although those should be the aims of health care, the system has continuously failed at meeting those goals. An example is given of a woman who had difficulty finding a new provider, had to wait for any appointment, was diagnosed with cancer later than she should have been because the findings were ignored the first time, had to deal with information about her health being missing, had to wait longer to get treatment, and had to deal with her cancer spreading all while she felt lost, scared, and confused (Institute of Medicine, 2001).

Advocating for patient’s rights, policy change, and organizational change is an essential component in nursing practice (Hanks, 2008). However, advocacy is not a concept that is excessively covered in school, but rather a learned skill upon entering the workforce. With minimal training, it is the nurse leaders role to develop advocacy capabilities in their staff through open communication, enriching their conflict resolution skills, collaboration, and addressing unprofessionalism, which may hinder advocacy development (Tomajan, 2012). Nurse leaders must prepare nurses to overcome advocacy and policy challenges including how to address an issue, fear of retaliation, lack of knowledge about established protections for patient advocacy, and lack of communication skills to clearly state the issue (Zolnierek, 2012). While nurses are learning to develop competency and confidence in advocacy, nurse managers must advocate for their staff, patients, and organization in addition to themselves in order to promote change (Hanks,

Professional practice reflects autonomy when the nurse respects patient’s rights to make decisions about their health care” (Taylor, 1997). At the nursing home, I witnessed many of the nurses discuss with the residents what they wanted to do about certain situations.

Nurses also are constantly making sure that they can provide their patients with the best information to help them make a more successful choice about their health care (Taylor
