Explore the Discipline of Nursing.
Directions:
Part I:
A) Spend 1 hour scanning the journal volumes for the year(s) you are assigned. If you are assigned the year 1952 and beyond, spend part of your hour scanning the table of contents for each month in the Nursing Research to identify the types of research being conducted during that time frame.
B) After looking at the table of contents, choose to read a couple of articles that intrigued you.
C) Out of all the articles you skim and/or read, find one RESEARCH article that you found most influential and print out a hard copy, attach it to your written paper, and keep it for part II of this assignment. If you find a picture, table of contents, another article or something that also intrigues you, make a copy and attach it to the assignment.
• Each student will summarize his/her assigned years’ content in a short 2-page paper. Use the Framework for Exploring the Discipline of Nursing (see below) to guide your exploration of the journal volumes and use as a guide to write your Part I paper.

Write a one page paper about nursing homes.
What are your upcoming week’s specific learning goals and objectives?
Were there any placement items/issues that occurred this week that you feel your instructor should be aware of that are private in nature and are more appropriately shared here than in the discussion board with your classmates?
Give a brief description of an objective you worked on this week. Make sure to cite at least one reference showing how your objective relates to the public health knowledge you’ve studied during this course or the public health course. You may choose to reference your e-text, journal articles, or videos you’ve studied during these courses or you may find an outside reference on your own to further enhance your public health knowledge and practices.
This was last week. Write about the experience at the clinical site.
Remember, your journal entries are an important aspect of clinical learning as they serve to help you reflect upon and get the most out of your community practice experience. Therefore, your journal entry should include the who, what, where, and when of your community practice experience. Remember, this should simulate a dialogue that would normally take place face-to-face with your community practice experience instructor.

Complete your participation for this assignment by Wednesday, June 22, 2016.
MCOs
You are a new physician setting up your own practice in a new town. You are researching the different MCOs offered in your area and are considering becoming a physician for one of these networks. You have also invited the sales representatives of several health plans to speak with you about the benefits of choosing their plans.
Based on the above scenario, answer the following questions:
• What effects would joining a MCO have on your clinic regarding staffing, patient volume, and financial stability?
• What policies and procedures should be used by the MCOs to reduce costs for their clientele?
• Discuss the ethical issues or concerns about MCOs providing a lower quality of care compared to traditional fee-for-service (FFS) organizations?
• What are some of the questions you would ask each representative about his or her company’s specific plan that will help you make a decision?
• Do you believe that the evolution of MCOs and consumer driven health plans (CDHPs) has affected the healthcare environment today by integrating the financing and delivery of healthcare services? If yes, how?
• How have the roles and relationships between physicians and patients changed by each of these types of plans?
