Later Adulthood Scenarios
The aging process affects us all. Sooner or later, we will be faced with challenges unique to later life. As medical technology pushes the outer boundaries of longevity, we will be confronted with more and more issues related to aging in later life.
To prepare for this Discussion, review this week’s Learning Resources.
post a comprehensive response to one of the following four scenarios about aging in later adulthood:

  • The changing face of retirement: Discuss the implications of retirement on health. Include in your response financial, physical, cognitive, and socioemotional considerations.
  • Advanced directives: Should health care providers be required to honor advance directives regardless of personal belief and institutional settings?
  • Coping with loss: Present a scenario in which you provide examples of bereavement, grief, and mourning in coping with the loss of a lifetime friend, partner, child, parent, or sibling.
  • End of life: Discuss where an individual needs to be developmentally in order to prepare to die in peace.

Include specific examples to help support your position. Be sure to use supporting documentation and cite your sources in correct APA format.

EXPLAIN THE IMPORTANCE OF ORGANIZING AND EVALUATING DATA IN A HEALTH CARE SETTING.

You are the director of quality at a new managed care organization who has been tasked with training new full-time employees in the area of collecting and organizing data for an upcoming committee meeting. In preparation for this upcoming meeting, you must help the new employees identify appropriate steps in collecting, analyzing, and organizing the data.
To get started, do the following:

  1. Define the concept of collecting data.
  2. Identify at least 5 organizations that collect health care data.
  3. Explain the rationale for collecting the data.
  4. Explain the importance of organizing and evaluating data in a health care setting.

Not sure we should create an acronym in place of an acronym for FTE that already exists. FTE, in common terms, is full-time equivalent. Students should know what FTE is in that sense. Recommend re-wording to keep in line with the common language of the business world.

I agree that the FTE is full-time equivalent and we will be training employees, not equivalents.

WHAT ELEMENTS ARE FOUND IN AN EFFECTIVE HEALTH CARE WORK GROUP?

 

You have each been promoted as part of a new management team for an assisted living facility. During the past 2 months, you have noticed an increase in conflicts between your coworkers and another department—Radiology, Pharmacy, or Dietary, for example. Your boss sees this as an issue and has tasked you as a management team to find a solution.

Create a 7- to 10-slide Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation with detailed speaker notes that addresses the following:

  • What elements are found in an effective health care work group?
  • What are some barriers to communication that may cause conflict in a group?
  • What communication techniques may be used to avoid conflicts in a team wherein individuals hold different roles?
  • How can communication between departments in your current organization be improved to avoid conflict?
  • What strategies could be used to ensure this conflict does not happen again? What would a leader do to prevent it?
  • Describe how you would address the conflicts that arise between a team and another department to ensure a successful negotiation.

Cite a minimum of three references.

Format your citations consistent with APA guidelines.

I am only responsible for one slide which is the one highlighted in yellow.
