ANALYSIS AND FORECASTINGGREEN HILLS HEALTH SYSTEM COMPRISES A SMALL COMMUNITY HOSPITAL AND A PRIMARY CARE PRACTICE.

Discussion: Trend Analysis and ForecastingGreen Hills Health System comprises a small community hospital and a primary care practice. Located in a rural area the nearest large city is approximately 100 miles away. Individuals age 60 and older constitute one of the largest patient populations Green Hills serves. Recently members of the nursing staff have noticed that the numbers of geriatric patients admitted to the hospital seem to be increasing. Many of these patients have multiple comorbidities and need specialty care that is not available through Green Hills Health System. Some of the patients have commented that they lack the financial resources and transportation required to travel to the large metropolitan health care center that provides a variety of specialty services.Imagine that you are a nurse leader-manager in the organization described above. How could conducting an internal and external scan of the environment help you and your colleagues to identify opportunities for change moving forward? What literature sources would you consult to learn about trends and emerging issues that are likely to affect the organization? What data would you examine?In this Discussion you analyze trends that are likely to have a significant impact on nursing and health care in the coming years. You may use this Discussion to formulate initial thoughts related to trends and unmet needs that you might choose to address through the Course Project which is introduced this week.To prepare:Review the information on forecasting and trends in the Learning Resources.Conduct a search of the literature to investigate trends and emerging issues in nursing and health care. Evaluate the research evidence in the literature.Based on your research identify three trends that are likely to impact nursing and health care in the coming decade.Select one of these trends on which to focus in greater detail. Then conduct additional research and analyze evidence-based issues related to this trend.Based on your analysis consider whether this trend creates or contributes to an unmet need that currently impacts or will impact a specific group unit or organization.Post an analysis of the impact of your selected trend on nursing and health care in the coming decade. Explain how this trend creates or contributes to an unmet need that a specific group unit or organization may encounter now or in the coming years.Read a selection of your colleagues responses.Respond to at least two of your colleagues on two different days using one or more of the following approaches:Share an alternative perspective on a trend reported by your colleagues synthesizing the information to provide a different perspective.Ask a probing question substantiated with additional background information or research.Validate an idea with your own experience and additional resources.Required ReadingsUrsell F.

MALE PATIENT IS ADMITTED TO THE ICU WITH TERMINAL LIVER CANCER.

Scenario: A 96-year-old male patient is admitted to the ICU with terminal liver cancer. He is confused and disoriented very skinny and appears underfed and is covered with bruises which are common in patients with liver disorders. His daughter who is a naturopathic physician insists that she can cure her father by administering unknown substances some of which smell like feces and look like tar down his NG tube. He is clearly in pain after she does this. She insists that these are life-saving interventions on her part but the nursing and physician staff caring for the patient are very upset and concerned that she is hastening his death. They have come to you for help.1) Write a paper (1 250-1 500 words) that describes how to use the method of ethical decision making reviewed in the module to help resolve this ethical dilemma.
