Ethical and Policy Issues in a Community Organization PPT.

Select a community organization or group that you feel would be  interested in learning about ethical and policy issues that affect the  coordination of care. Then, develop and record a 10-12-slide, 20-minute  presentation, with audio, intended for that audience. Create a detailed  narrative script or speakers notes for your presentation, 4-5 pages in  length.

As coordinators of care, nurses must be aware of the code of ethics  for nurses and health policy issues that affect the coordination of care  within the context of the community. To help patients navigate the  continuum of care, nurses must be proficient at interpreting and  applying the code of ethics for nurses and health policy, specifically,  the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Being knowledgeable about ethical and  policy issues helps ensure that care coordinators are upholding ethical  standards and navigating policy issues that affect patient care.

This assessment provides an opportunity for you to develop a  presentation for a local community organization of your choice, which  provides an overview of ethical standards and relevant policy issues  that affect the coordination of care. Completing this assessment will  strengthen your understanding of ethical issues and policies related to  the coordination and continuum of care, and will empower you to be a  stronger advocate and nursing professional.

It would be an excellent choice to complete the Vila Health: Ethical  Decision Making activity prior to developing the presentation. The  activity provides a helpful update on the ethical principles that will  help with success in this assessment.

PREPARATION

Your nurse manager at the community care center is well connected  and frequently speaks to a variety of community organizations and  groups. She has noticed the good work you are doing in your new care  coordination role and respects your speaking and presentation skills.  Consequently, she thought that an opportunity to speak publicly about  contemporary issues in care coordination would be beneficial for your  career and has suggested reaching out to a community organization or  support group to gauge their interest in hearing from you, as a care  center representative, on a topic of interest to both you and your  prospective audience.

You have agreed that this is a good idea and have decided to  research a community organization or support group that might be  interested in learning about ethical and policy issues related to the  coordination of care. Your manager has suggested the following community  organizations and support groups, but acknowledges that the choice is  yours.

• Homeless shelters.
• Local religious groups.
• Nursing homes.
• Local community organizations (Rotary Club or Kiwanis Club).

To prepare for this assessment, you may wish to:

• Research your selected community organization or support group.
• Review the Code of Ethics for Nurses With Interpretive Statements and associated health policy issues, specifically, the ACA.
• Review the assessment instructions and scoring guide to ensure you understand the work you will be asked to complete.
• Allocate sufficient time to rehearse your presentation before recording the final version for submission.
