Read the following case study and focus on it.
Scenario 1
Crystal is a 48-year-old woman from a large city. She lives in a resource-constrained area with marked levels of continuous gang violence and inadequate social services, such as insufficient policing. At the time of treatment, she is married with two school-age children. Crystal was referred for treatment after witnessing a gang-related killing of a 23-year-old male in front of her house. Crystal reported that she knew the young man who was shot, as he lived in the same neighborhood as Crystal. Since the event, Crystal has been feeling scared and does not want to leave her house. She has also felt anger and shame for not having the courage to prevent the shooting. She avoided talking about the event and could not walk past or look at the location of the killing, which was near her front gate. She has had trouble concentrating and sleeping, so she took an over-the-counter sleep aid to help her fall asleep at night. In addition, Crystal described that she struggled to understand why people could be so cruel to each other and reported distress related to her marriage. On assessment, Crystal reported only verbal and emotional abuse, but it later became apparent that she had also experienced physical abuse in her marriage. Crystal is also going through an intake after being arrested for drug possession.

Description
Primary Discussion Response is due by Thursday (11:59:59pm Central), Peer Responses are due by Saturday (11:59:59pm Central).
The discussion assignment for this week includes a review of the Key Assignment Outline completed by one of your classmates, as well as a substantial response to at least 1 other student.
Primary Task Response: Your first task is to post your own Key Assignment Outline to the discussion area so that other students are able to review your plan. Attach your document to the main discussion post, and include any notes you feel are appropriate. The purpose of this assignment is to help improve the quality of the Key Assignment Draft you will complete next week.
Respond to Another Student: Review at least 1 other student’s Key Assignment Outline and provide meaningful feedback. Refrain from general feedback, such as simply stating “good job.” Your feedback to other students is most helpful if you not only point out weak areas but also offer suggestions for improvement. The best feedback takes a 3-stage approach to identify what was done well, weaknesses, and areas for improvement.

Professionalism can be difficult to maintain during interpersonal communication that involves a major conflict. The ability to manage the conflict and continually work to improve team communication and collaboration is a valuable skill for all health care managers.
Consider the following scenario:
The patient access staff at an internal medicine practice are discussing a significant trend of no-show and cancellation appointments. One receptionist stated that she was told by the coordinator to never schedule patients who call for same-day appointments unless it is an emergency, such as medication reactions, so patients would value their appointments and discourage them from not showing up or canceling. The coordinator also indicated that the change was approved by the CEO. A receptionist became emotional and stated, “This is not right. We are here to help patients. Your plan does not seem to be working, and I think we should try something else.”
The coordinator then asked the staff how the patient recall list and the confirmation of appointments were managed. At this point, another receptionist indicated she thought the patient contact software was not working correctly. It was displaying confirmation icons for scheduled patients, but a few patients called to confirm their appointments on their own. She said, “We need to do something about this now and stop talking about it. I reported my suspicion several times to management, but nothing was checked. I think patients calling to confirm their appointments is proof that the software does not work correctly.”
The coordinator continued to ignore the direct statements of the staff. Instead, she suggested she would study the relationship between patient gender, age, payer, and the date appointments were set to determine if there were any patterns. “It’s about time you become involved in the solution,” a scheduler said. “Okay,” the coordinator said, “I am trying to solve this dilemma. We will accomplish nothing by complaining.” The first receptionist replied, “We will never solve the problem if you do not process our input.”
The coordinator smiled politely and nodded in agreement. In addition, everyone agreed that the data she would study could be helpful as a starting point. The coordinator further indicated she would have IT investigate issues with the patient contact software. A few days later, the coordinator met with all the staff and shared her findings. Her finding revealed there was no relationship between date scheduled and cancelled appointments or no-shows. She also indicated that IT found 893 patient portal messages unopened. The messages included requests to reschedule and text replies to cancel.
The group developed a consensus to follow the original scheduling protocol, which was patients are scheduled on a first-call basis and the artificial barrier of two weeks was terminated. The coordinator accepted responsibility for the lack of follow-up on patient messages, but then assigned another scheduler the daily task of checking and responding to messages. The coordinator thanked everyone for their feedback, ideas, and support. She quipped, “emotions are okay. Passion should be evident in all of us every day.”
Write a 350- to 700-word paper in which you:
Describe the quality of communication in the scenario.
Describe the type of conflict illustrated in the scenario.
Explain how the defensive climate created by the conflict will affect the team members’ ability to collaborate and communicate in the future.

What would a powerpoint presentation look like for the following scenario?
Create a strategic improvement plan fr a healthcare organization that includes data collection, data governance, and evidence-based decision-making components. 
  
To ensure that you develop a reliable data governance plan, you have decided to conduct an assessment of your organization’s current practices and to determine if there were any previous concerns about a data breach. During your assessment, you learned that there have been repeated issues around data breach within your organization. In one such incident, over one thousand Personally Identifiable Information (PII) was lost in one of the three facilities that you manage. In another incident, a consultant employed by the organization was able to access patients’ data that they were not supposed to see.
To ensure that you get the buy-in of your board, you decided to put together a PowerPoint presentation that you will deliver to them in your next executive meeting.
In this presentation, be sure to address the following:
· A demonstration of the implication of data breach (financial, reputation) to healthcare organizations in the United States.
· Legislation aimed at promoting data privacy and security (directly or indirectly)
o HIPAA Privacy and Security Rules
o Research regulations
· At least three things that need to be in place to ensure improved data privacy and security within the organization
· At least three best practices that your employers should adopt to ensure patient privacy is maintained at all times
· Note how any policy recommendations are ethical and promote accountability and professionalism
· An appropriate data governance model (chart) that you create. It should not be the chart previously presented in the course.

How would a person highlight two clinical, two operational, two financial, and two benchmarking data that stakeholders of a healthcare organization would be interested in capturing at this time to build and implement a solid data program for the organization? Also, provide a brief narrative of the process you took to get the information you used to populate the completed table. Also, provide your rationale for the source of data and type of data you identified in the table.

Step #1 – Scientific knowledge forms the backdrop for clinical reasoning! Find out ALL you can about the condition.  
Students may use textbooks, scholarly websites, and articles etc. to discover scientific information about the diagnosis.  
Step #2 – Knowing what you know about the condition now – find out what occupational therapy assessments and interventions would be appropriate for a person with this condition.
Additionally, identify the intervention approaches that can be utilized for the condition (health promotion, compensation, adaptation, prevention, restoration, and maintenance from the OTPF. 
Students should begin to integrate the information, and defend their choices of each assessment/intervention to foster critical thinking about how contexts, personal factors, and activity might affect their choices of assessments and interventions. 
Step #3- Students will identify relevant frames of references to use with the diagnosis and justify their choices.
Step #4 –  Student will identify occupational problem areas the diagnosis may impact along with associated limitations/barriers. Each occupational problem area should link to a limitation/barrier. 
Step #5 – Students will utilize the provided case study that includes various contexts, personal factors, and activities select relevant and appropriate occupational therapy assessments for the case study. Additionally, students will design a relevant and meaningful interventions for the case study. The student should develop their interventions considering the client’s contextual issues, interests, activities, personal factors, and practice setting. This step in the diagnosis book assists the student to make substantial and personalized intervention planning.
