Discuss the shift to value-based health care and its impact on the roles and responsibilities of advanced registered nurses.

Re: Topic 1 DQ 1

Value-based health care implies that payment for medical care is dependent on positive patient outcomes. The goal is to contain the cost of medical care while reducing complications for patients (Huffman, 2021). The total joint replacement bundles are an example of value-based health care (Schardt et al., 2020). The orthopedic surgeon provides surgical intervention for an elective joint replacement that follows surgical pathways for optimal outcomes. The advanced practice nurse may then follow up with the patient in an acute setting or office setting to monitor and provide early intervention to achieve optimal recovery. This reduces cost and leads to better patient outcomes and payment. The joint center advanced registered nurse leader participates in a collaborative team that develops protocols based on evidence to produce positive outcomes. The leader ensures protocols are followed by staff for beneficial patient outcomes. The advanced practice nurse educator is responsible for teaching direct care nurses the clinical pathways necessary for optimal outcomes. The acute care center of current employment has a Joint Center that performs in this manner to maintain cost-effective, efficient, quality care with the patient in mind. Huffman (2021) describes these elements in detail in her article. The suggestion is that nurse leaders assume a collaborative, innovative role to establish and maintain value-based care in their areas of practice..

In the next 3-5 years, many more patients will go home after surgeries. In the past, many spinal cases stayed overnight in the hospital. In the current environment, postop cervical spinal fusions and discectomies who meet the criteria for discharge go home the day of surgery with follow-up from a nurse practitioner. Total joints that are relatively low risk go home the day of surgery after meeting all discharge criteria. The health care system is moving towards home care with continued follow-up in the office with advanced practice registered nurses. Advanced practice registered nurses in various roles within the acute and community setting deliver cost-effective, quality care. This will continue into the foreseeable future to contain costs while providing safe, reliable, quality care to patients. The hope is that advanced practice nurses can continue to grow and expand their skills to provide care that encompasses the full extent of their education and skills.

Hello Camille,

I agree with you that in the value-based care, the money is paid for medical care is dependent on patient’s positive outcome. In this care there is need for quality services that will promotes better recovery of the patient consequently enhancing patient satisfaction (Hirpa et al., 2020). It is the responsibility of the advanced practice nurse to ensure that they proper follow up mechanisms, which in the end will facilitate quicker recovery of the patient and reduce the chances of readmission. The nurses have to identify what the patients consider as the priority in their recovery process so that they are able to collaborate with the patient to achieve complete recovery and continue living a quality life.

I do agree with you that in the coming three to five years, patients who have undergone surgical operations may be discharge to get home within the same day as long as the patient is in a stable condition and there is a nurse

assigned to regularly check on the patient’s progress (Cairo et al., 2017). The advanced nurse practitioners have the responsibility of continuous education to ensure that they improve on their knowledge and expertise. This was the major emphasis in the Institute of Medicine report on the Future of Nursing, Advancing Healthcare report. The nurses with higher qualification have better chances of ensuring that they incorporate the research skills in their care practices and influence crucial decision-making points using their experience and empirical experimental evidence from their EBP project research work.

Description:

Discuss the shift to value-based health care and its impact on the roles and responsibilities of advanced registered nurses. What major evolving trends in the health care delivery system will affect your practice in the next 3-5 years, and how do you think advanced registered nurses will continue to influence the direction of health care?

Topic 1: Health Care Systems, Organizational Relationships, and Interprofessional Health Care Environments

Description

Objectives:

Discuss the evolution of the U.S. health care system to a value-based system and its impact on advanced registered nursing and the delivery of care.
Explain how interprofessional relationships increase collaboration among the advanced registered nurse roles and improve patient outcomes in an increasingly complex health care system.
Examine how leaders benefit from applying systems thinking to lead within a dynamic organizational environment.

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.

ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE CLASS

Discussion Questions (DQ)

Initial responses to the DQ should address all components of the questions asked, include a minimum of one scholarly source, and be at least 250 words.
Successful responses are substantive (i.e., add something new to the discussion, engage others in the discussion, well-developed idea) and include at least one scholarly source.
One or two sentence responses, simple statements of agreement or “good post,” and responses that are off-topic will not count as substantive. Substantive responses should be at least 150 words.
I encourage you to incorporate the readings from the week (as applicable) into your responses.
Weekly Participation

Your initial responses to the mandatory DQ do not count toward participation and are graded separately.
In addition to the DQ responses, you must post at least one reply to peers (or me) on three separate days, for a total of three replies.
Participation posts do not require a scholarly source/citation (unless you cite someone else’s work).
Part of your weekly participation includes viewing the weekly announcement and attesting to watching it in the comments. These announcements are made to ensure you understand everything that is due during the week.
APA Format and Writing Quality

Familiarize yourself with APA format and practice using it correctly. It is used for most writing assignments for your degree. Visit the Writing Center in the Student Success Center, under the Resources tab in LoudCloud for APA paper templates, citation examples, tips, etc. Points will be deducted for poor use of APA format or absence of APA format (if required).
Cite all sources of information! When in doubt, cite the source. Paraphrasing also requires a citation.
I highly recommend using the APA Publication Manual, 6th edition.
Use of Direct Quotes

I discourage overutilization of direct quotes in DQs and assignments at the Masters’ level and deduct points accordingly.
As Masters’ level students, it is important that you be able to critically analyze and interpret information from journal articles and other resources. Simply restating someone else’s words does not demonstrate an understanding of the content or critical analysis of the content.
It is best to paraphrase content and cite your source.
LopesWrite Policy

For assignments that need to be submitted to LopesWrite, please be sure you have received your report and Similarity Index (SI) percentage BEFORE you do a “final submit” to me.
Once you have received your report, please review it. This report will show you grammatical, punctuation, and spelling errors that can easily be fixed. Take the extra few minutes to review instead of getting counted off for these mistakes.
Review your similarities. Did you forget to cite something? Did you not paraphrase well enough? Is your paper made up of someone else’s thoughts more than your own?
Visit the Writing Center in the Student Success Center, under the Resources tab in LoudCloud for tips on improving your paper and SI score.
Late Policy

The university’s policy on late assignments is 10% penalty PER DAY LATE. This also applies to late DQ replies.
Please communicate with me if you anticipate having to submit an assignment late. I am happy to be flexible, with advance notice. We may be able to work out an extension based on extenuating circumstances.
If you do not communicate with me before submitting an assignment late, the GCU late policy will be in effect.
I do not accept assignments that are two or more weeks late unless we have worked out an extension.
As per policy, no assignments are accepted after the last day of class. Any assignment submitted after midnight on the last day of class will not be accepted for grading.
Communication

Communication is so very important. There are multiple ways to communicate with me:
Questions to Instructor Forum: This is a great place to ask course content or assignment questions. If you have a question, there is a good chance one of your peers does as well. This is a public forum for the class.
Individual Forum: This is a private forum to ask me questions or send me messages. This will be checked at least once every 24 hours.
