MY NUMBER ASSIGNED WAS 2 WHICH IS:  Explain burn staging (1st, 2nd, 3rd, and bone). Provide info about partial and full thickness burns AND two major complications of burn injuries.

Each student will be assigned a number randomly.  Whatever your number is, select the corresponding topic below, then post a minimum of 5 bullet points about the topic.  

Your bullet points should address key components of the topic, such as what, how, who, & why.  This information should not be basic things you learned in Med/Surg, but rather advanced critical care based.  

Think about this as a group effort to create a study guide. Use ONLY your textbook, but do not cut & paste from the book.  

Then create, find, or borrow a test style question about your topic & post at the bottom of your bullet points. The format needs to be multiple choice or select all that apply. Think NCLEX style.

Stress can be physical, emotional, spiritual, or any combination of triggers. Ask a diverse variety of people, don’t forget those in other departs at different points of hierarchy.

The Role of Competition in Healthcare

/in /by

 

Competition is prevalent in every industry, and healthcare is no exception. You see healthcare competition on a daily basis in the field of healthcare as providers and organizations compete to increase patient volumes and revenue.

Find an example of healthcare competition in your local region. This can include things such as competing provider groups, hospitals, or other services.

  • Discuss what these organizations do to help compete with their competitors and draw in more patients, increase visits, and ultimately increase growth.
  • Describe how this competition benefits the consumer.

PRESIDENTIAL AGENDAS

Rather than focus on the treatment of chronic disease, policies that influence population health tend to emphasize prevention and wellness; the reduction or elimination of waste and the eradication of health disparities based on race, ethnicity, language, income, gender, sexual orientation, disability and other factors. The reasoning is that good health belongs to the whole, not just an individual. (New York State Dept. of Health, n.d.)  

Regardless of political affiliation, every citizen has a stake in healthcare policy decisions. Hence, it is little wonder why healthcare items become such high-profile components of presidential agendas. It is also little wonder why they become such hotly debated agenda items.

Consider a topic (mental health, HIV, opioid epidemic, pandemics, obesity, prescription drug prices, or many others) that rises to the presidential level. How did the current and previous presidents handle the problem? What would you do differently?
