Ethical and Policy Factors in Care Coordination Your nurse manager at the community care center is well connected and frequently speaks to a variety of community organizations and groups. She has noticed the good work you are doing in your new care coordination role and respects your speaking and presentation skills. Consequently, she thought that an opportunity to speak publicly about contemporary issues in care coordination would be beneficial for your career and has suggested reaching out to a community organization or support group to gauge their interest in hearing from you, as a care center representative, on a topic of interest to both you and your prospective audience. You have agreed that this is a good idea and have decided to research a community organization or support group that might be interested in learning about ethical and policy issues related to the coordination of care. Your manager has suggested the following community organizations and support groups, but acknowledges that the choice is yours. Homeless shelters. Local religious groups. Nursing homes. Local community organizations (Rotary Club or Kiwanis Club). To prepare for this assessment, you may wish to: Research your selected community organization or support group. Review the Code of Ethics for Nurses With Interpretive Statements and associated health policy issues, specifically, the ACA. Review the assessment instructions and scoring guide to ensure you understand the work you will be asked to complete. Allocate sufficient time to rehearse your presentation before recording the final version for submission. Note: Remember that you can submit all, or a portion of, your draft presentation to Smarthinking Tutoring for feedback, before you submit the final version for this assessment. If you plan on using this free service, be mindful of the turnaround time of 24–48 hours for receiving feedback. Recording Equipment Setup and Testing Check that your audio speaker and PowerPoint software are working properly. You can record audio directly to your slides, using PowerPoint or other presentation software. Note: Technical support about the use of PowerPoint, including voice recording and speaker notes, can be found on Campus's Microsoft Office Software page. If using Kaltura, refer to the Using Kaltura tutorial for directions on recording and uploading your presentation in the courseroom. Note: If you require the use of assistive technology or alternative communication methods to participate in this activity, please contact DisabilityServices@capella.edu to request accommodations. INSTRUCTIONS For this assessment: Choose the community organization or support group that you plan to address. Develop a PowerPoint with typed speaker notes (the script for your voice recording) and audio voice-over recording, intended for that audience. Video is not required. Note: PowerPoint has a feature to type the speaker notes directly into the presentation. You are encouraged to use that feature or you may choose to submit a separate document. See Microsoft Office Software for technical support about the use of PowerPoint, including voice recording and speaker notes. For this assessment, develop your presentation slides and speaker notes, then record your presentation. You are not required to deliver your presentation to an actual audience. Presentation Format and Length You may use PowerPoint (recommended) or other suitable presentation software to create your slides and add your voice over. If you elect to use an application other than PowerPoint, check with your faculty to avoid potential file compatibility issues. Be sure that your slide deck includes the following slides: Title slide. Presentation title. Your name. Date. Course number and title. References (at the end of your presentation). Your slide deck should consist of 10–12 slides, not including a title and references slide with typed speaker notes and audio voice over. Please include speaker notes in the presentation, with a couple sentences for each one should be fine.  Create a detailed narrative script for your presentation, approximately 4–5 pages in length. Supporting Evidence Cite 3–5 credible sources from peer-reviewed journals or professional industry publications to support your presentation. Include your source citations on a references page appended to your narrative script. Grading Requirements The requirements outlined below correspond to the grading criteria in the Ethical and Policy Factors in Care Coordination Scoring Guide, so be sure to address each point. Read the performance-level descriptions for each criterion to see how your work will be assessed. Explain how governmental policies related to the health and/or safety of the community affect the coordination of care. Provide examples of a specific policy affecting the organization or group. Refer to the assessment resources for help in locating relevant policies. Be sure influential policies include the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPPA). Identify national, state, and local policy provisions that raise ethical questions or dilemmas for care coordination. What are the implications and consequences of specific policy provisions? What evidence do you have to support your conclusions? Assess the impact of the code of ethics for nurses on the coordination and continuum of care. Consider the factors that contribute to health, health disparities, and access to services. Consider the social determinants of health identified in Healthy People 2020 as a framework for your assessment. Provide evidence to support your conclusions. Communicate key ethical and policy issues in a presentation affecting the coordination and continuum of care for a selected community organization or support group. Either speaker notes or audio voice-over are included for a proficient score; both speaker notes and the audio voice over are included for a distinguished score. Present a concise overview. Support your main points and conclusions with relevant and credible evidence.

Statistical analysis software is a valuable tool that helps researchers perform the complex calculations. However, to use such a tool effectively, the study must be well designed. The social worker must understand all the relationships involved in the study. He or she must understand the study’s purpose and select the most appropriate design. The social worker must correctly represent the relationship being examined and the variables involved. Finally, he or she must enter those variables correctly into the software package. This assignment will allow you to analyze in detail the decisions made in the “Social Work Research: Chi Square” case study and the relationship between study design and statistical analysis. Assume that the data has been entered into SPSS and you’ve been given the output of the chi-square results. (See Week 4 Handout: Chi-Square findings).To prepare for this Assignment, review the Week 4 Handout: Chi-Square Findings and follow the instructions.By Day 7Submit a 1-page paper of the following:An analysis of the relationship between study design and statistical analysis used in the case study that includes: An explanation of why you think that the agency created a plan to evaluate the programAn explanation of why the social work agency in the case study chose to use a chi square statistic to evaluate whether there is a difference between those who participated in the program and those who did not (Hint: Think about the level of measurement of the variables) A description of the research design in terms of observations (O) and interventions (X) for each group.Interpret the chi-square output data. What do the data say about the program?
