MANAGED CARE & ACCOUNTABLE CARE ORGANIZATIONS

(MANAGED CARE & ACCOUNTABLE CARE ORGANIZATIONS)

Assignment Overview (MANAGED CAR)There are various types of plans consumers can select. MCOs, HMOs, PPOs, POSs, or ACOs are the most common ones; however they all supply various benefits and drawbacks. Consumers (patients) have the right to choose the type of plan that best fits their needs. In fact, health care is a consumer-driven industry and as health care costs have continued to increase, consumer-driven health plans (CDHP) have become the next new thing (after managed care) (Fronstin & MacDonald, 2008). As a health care leader, it is vital that you understand the differences in these plans.

Transcript Analysis Experience

(Transcript Analysis Experience)

With this assignment I just need the transcript written no video or recording is needed

HMSV B280

MICRO-LEVEL HUMAN SERVICES INTERVENTIONS

Mock Helping Session/Transcript Analysis Experience

125 POINTS

____________________________________________________________________

To complete this assignment you will need to video record yourself providing a mock helping

session with a “client.” The session must be a minimum of 20 minutes and no longer than 25

minutes. Your instructions:

1. Choose a friend to role play “your client” and develop a “client profile” which includes:

● Background Information- Your “client’s” name and age, as well as an explanation

discussing the “client’s presenting problem” and the purpose of the meeting. Include this

information at the beginning of your Transcript Analysis Paper.

2. Preliminary Skill-Tuning In:

● Consider your “client’s” thoughts, feelings, and issues about the helping session. Based

on your “client’s” presenting problem, consider your own thoughts and feelings about

your “client” and “his/her problem.” Include this information at the beginning of your

Transcript Analysis Paper.

3. Carefully review the Work Phase Sessional Skills (Ch. 5) in preparation for recording your

helping session. During your helping session, you and “your client” cannot read from a script,

and as “The Helper” you must demonstrate the following skills:

-An empathic attitude and genuineness

-Active listening

-Beginning Sessional Skills

-Middle Sessional Skills

-Ending/Transition Sessional Skills

-Open Ended Questions

4. Next, transcribe the entire helping session. This includes everything you say and everything

your “client” says.

5. Transcript Analysis: Then, go back to the beginning of your transcription and identify the

specific skills demonstrated throughout each of your responses during your helping session. For

example:

Helper:

“You seem really upset by your son’s fight yesterday. Can you tell me more

about what’s upsetting you?”

Displaying understanding of the client’s feelings; Open-ended question

Client:

“All hell broke loose after that fight. Mrs. Lewis is furious because he gave her

son a black eye, and she is threatening to call the police on me. She complained

to the landlord, and he’s threatening to throw me out if the kids don’t

straighten up. I tried to talk to Frankie about it, but I got nowhere. He just

screamed at me and ran out of the house. I’m really afraid he has done it this

time, and I’m feeling sick about the whole thing. Where will I go if they kick me

out? I can’t afford another place. And you know the cops gave Frankie a

warning last time. I’m scared about what will happen if Mrs. Lewis does

complain. I just don’t know what to do.”

Helper:

It really does sound like quite a mess; no wonder you feel up against the wall.

Look, maybe it would help if we looked at one problem at a time. Mrs. Lewis is

very angry, and you need to deal with her. Your landlord is important, too, and

we should think about what you might be able to say to him to get him to back

off while you try to deal with Frankie on this. And I guess that’s the big

question, what can you say to Frankie since this has made things rougher for

the two of you? Mrs. Lewis, the landlord, and Frankie—where should we start?

Partializing the client’s concerns; Open-ended question

5. Finally, write a short critique of yourself (2-4 paragraphs), and address the following

questions:

● What did you do well with during your helping session?

● What do you think you could have done differently to improve your work with your

“client?”

Submission Notes/Instructions:

● Upload your Helping Session video using the Voice Thread link on Blackboard.

● Once your Transcript Analysis is complete, use the appropriate link on Blackboard to

upload your paper.

● Both your Helping Session Video Upload and your Transcript Analysis Paper must be

Common Screening Tests During Pregnancy

MN576 Discussion Board: Common Screening Tests During Pregnancy – Peer Response

(Common Screening Tests During Pregnancy)

No plagiarism please.

Will need minimum of 150 words for each response, APA Style, double spaced, times new roman, font 12, and and Include: (1 reference for each response within years 2015-2018) with intext citations.

Discuss the most common screening test and diagnostics used throughout pregnancy and the purpose of the tests. When during pregnancy are tests performed and what is the protocol when an abnormal test or diagnostic is found?

Peer Resp#1

Health care provider may recommend a variety of screenings, tests and imaging techniques during a pregnancy. These tests are designed to provide information about the health of your baby and may help you optimize your child’s prenatal care and development (American Pregnancy Association, 2018). Genetic screening can help diagnose the potential for certain genetic disorders before birth. First-trimester screening is a combination of fetal ultrasound and maternal blood testing. This screening process can help determine the risk of the fetus having certain birth defects. Second trimester prenatal screening may include several blood tests called multiple markers. These markers provide information about the risk of having a baby with certain genetic conditions or birth defects. The ultrasounds can be performed at different times during the pregnancy to check for fetal growth, estimate the due date and look for any structural abnormalities in the baby. Additional testing during pregnancy may include amniocentesis, chronic villus, sample (CVS) and fetal monitoring glucose testing and Group B strep culture. Many genetic abnormalities can be diagnosed before birth (American Pregnancy Association, 2018) . Therefore, the PCP or midwife may recommend genetic testing during pregnancy in case there is a family history of genetic disorders. other reason may also be to have genetic screening when the fetus or baby has a genetic abnormality.

Depending on the situation if an abnormal screening test comes the patient should be aware of and counsel the risk of having the baby and the percentage of survival of the fetus. It will be up to the parents of the unborn child to decide whether they should continue with the pregnancy. I have seen a patient who was advised to end the pregnancy because of the high risk of the death of the mother. depending on the situation, some parents may choose to abort the baby.  for example, this who recently found that she was 8—9 weeks pregnant via ultrasound for the fifth time, the patient who had 3 c sections 4 living children and was pregnant for the fifth her last baby was 10 months old. The physician had to explain the high risk of having a hysterectomy right after given birth and risk of bleeding to death.

Peer Resp#2

Pregnancy is a cascade of miracles occurring one after another.  The development of a growing embryo to a fetus to a full-term infant involves constant replication of cells and therefore any delivery of a healthy baby is truly a miracle.  Gestation typically last 40 weeks and is broken down into trimesters (i.e. 1st – 0-12 weeks, 2nd – 13-28 weeks, 3rd – 29 weeks to delivery).  Women typically request pregnancy testing, either at home or at their primary care provider’s office, when they have either missed a menstrual cycle or are having symptoms of pregnancy (i.e. nausea, breast tenderness, etc.).  These tests are designed to measure human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG), which is a hormone secreted by the placenta once a fertilized egg implants within the uterine lining (Mayo Clinic, 2018).

Because pregnancy is not a benign condition, many screening tests can be completed in order to identify any potential issues with the growing fetus (i.e. birth defects, low weight, etc.) at the earliest possible stage.

During the first trimester, the following tests can be ordered:

  1. Maternal blood screen to test for HCG and pregnancy associated plasma protein A (PAPP-A).  If either of these results are elevated, there can be an increased probability for chromosomal disorders. Blood typing also occurs at this time and if the mother is RH negative will need a Rhogam injection at 28 weeks and immediately after childbirth.
  2. Ultrasound in the first trimester can be used to look for anomalies such as fluid behind the fetus’ neck or presence of a nasal bone and is considered the most accurate method to determine estimated delivery date (EDD).  These two screening methods can accurately provide evidence of Trisomy 18 or 21 (Down Syndrome) (John Hopkins Medicine, 2016).

During the second trimester the following tests can be ordered:

  1. Between 15-20 weeks, a Quad screen tests for the presence of 4 proteins (alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), HCG, Estriol and Inhibin-A.
  2. Between 18-20 weeks, an anomaly ultrasound can be completed to determine size of the fetus and identification of any birth defects (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2017).

During the third trimester, the following tests can be ordered:

  1. Oral glucose tolerance test (OGGT) to determine whether the patient has developed gestational diabetes (GDM) can be completed during the 24-28 weeks.  If found to have GDM, patient will need to be educated on diet changes and potentially get started on metformin.
  2. Group beta strep (GBS) can be tested for during the 35-37 weeks.  If positive, IV antibiotics will need to be administered prior to delivery of the child.
  3. Tdap for anyone who will be in contact with the infant to protect against pertussis and the influenza vaccine to protect against influenza.

If any of the genetic testing results in an anomaly, further diagnostic testing can take place.  These types of additional testing include amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling (CVS) and can help differentiate between the exact genetic anomaly exists (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2017).

Influential Leadership Dynamics Analysis

(Influential Leadership Dynamics Analysis)

How Does This Leader Leverage Power, Politics, Networking, Or Negotiation In Order To Influence People?

Unit focuses on how leaders influence people by using—and potentially abusing—power, politics, networking, and negotiation. For this unit’s discussion forum, your initial discussion post should include two parts:

Part 1: link to video clip
Before you post in the discussion board, locate a video clip that demonstrates a leader’s influence through the use—or abuse—of power, politics, networking, or negotiation. Once you identify a video clip, be sure to copy the link and insert it into your discussion board post. To locate a video clip, you may use either YouTube or the Films on Demand database through the Online Library.

You may choose any leader for this video clip; it does not need to be the leader that serves as the topic for your research paper. Begin your discussion post by (a) providing the name of the leader and the title of the video clip and (b) posting a link to the video clip. The video clip should be less than three minutes in length. If it is longer than three minutes, feel free to post the link, but please indicate the time-stamp for a three-minute window within the video, so your professor and peer learners may view just that three-minute window. (Please demonstrate respect to your professor and peers by refraining from video clips that include vulgar language or behavior.)

Part 2: Discussion
Analyze this video clip as the basis for your discussion board post. How does this leader leverage power, politics, networking, or negotiation in order to influence people? In your opinion, does this leader use these strategies ethically? Explain. Evaluate the overall effectiveness of this leader’s influence. How does this leader’s influence—as well as his or her power, politics, networking, or negotiation—impact other people?

This initial Discussion is part of a continual conversation during the remainder of this course as your Instructor and yourself revise, review, and reflect on your writing.

To prepare for this Discussion:

  • Review      the Learning Resources on audience and sentence structure.
  • Reflect      on your ways you have incorporated your Instructor’s feedback and your      part in the scholarly conversation. You may even choose to consider how      you approached this specific Assignment in relation to scholarly voice and      transitions.
