Instructions Regulation Compliance – Public vs Private law Scenario 3 Public law

Instructions Regulation Compliance – Public vs Private law Scenario 3 Public law involves government and its relationship to individuals and business organizations. One of its goals is to enforce regulations where any part of a government agency is a party. State medical boards are government entities that, among other roles, take action against physicians for behaviors that violate the law or otherwise jeopardize patient safety. One state medical board’s monthly agenda included taking actions against physicians who Abused alcohol and other substances that impaired their ability to practice Delegated medical device usage to an unlicensed individual Improperly prescribed medications Obtained health records of a former patient without authorization and by using an altered release Engaged in sexual misconduct with a patient Made misleading statements to procure a license to practice and committed felonies either related or unrelated to their practice of medicine Identify if physician disciplinary action should be within the realm of public law, or whether it should it be a private law matter between the physician and a wronged party? Organize the above list as to whether the wrongdoing is subject to public law or private law If so, which of the previous list of offenses would you place in each category? In all cases, the physicians are entitled to due process. Articulate the types of due process they are entitled to. Give examples of each. Identify whether felonies committed outside the individual’s practice of medicine should be subject to state government disciplinary action in all cases? No cases? Or Some cases? And if the latter, where do you draw the line?

Competency Self Assessment
The goal for this project is to determine the level of competency attainment you have realized throughout your program of study in each of the critical domains of the program’s competency model.
Review Leadership Competencies for Healthcare Services Managers, the competency model the Master of Science in Healthcare Administration is built upon, and the competency self-assessment that you submitted in HCAD500 at the start of your graduate studies.
Download, complete, and submit the Competency Self Assessment attached to this assignment area.
This assessment will be used to identify areas of strength and areas where you might need some professional skill development as well as help you in formulating a career development plan.
Please note that there are no right or wrong answers to this assessment. For EACH development area of the Competency Self Assessment, provide a robust explanation of how you have progressed and have demonstrated competence in the five (5) critical domains and associated competencies. Additionally, identify domains and associated competencies where improvement is needed. Explain how you will demonstrate and develop your level of competence in those domains and associated competencies where improvement is needed.
Rate yourself as a novice, competent, or expert in each area:
• Novice (1) – An individual’s primary focus is understanding and gaining information to comprehend the skills needed. You have the level of experience gained in a classroom setting or on-the-job training. You are expected to need help when performing this skill.
• Competent (3) – People with considerable experience develop competence in solving problems within the learned guidelines and rules. You can successfully complete the competency as requested. Help from experts may be required from time to time, but you can usually perform the skill independently.
• Expert (5) – Experts work intuitively analyzing, recognizing patterns, critiquing, and solving problems with ideas and expertise. You are known as the expert in this area. You can provide guidance, troubleshoot, and answer questions related to this competency.
If you feel you fall somewhere between each category, then you select either a “2” or “4.”
** Please note, this assignment will be graded on completeness as this is an assessment of your own growth throughout this program. There are 5 sections, therefore each section is worth 20%. Failure to complete a section in its entirety will result in the deduction of 20% for each section not completed.

Topic: Medication Errors: Distractions and Interruptions. Instructions: Use PICOT to format a possible research question about that topic. Create one possible PICOT research question. Find one quantitative or qualitative peer-reviewed research article related to your nursing topic that was published within the last 5 years. Reminder: All peer-reviewed research articles have methods, discussion, and results sections. Upload the article with your paper in PDF format. This source can be used again in the Week 4 article assignment if it meets the criteria. When composing your PICOT question, do not use medications, medical tests or procedures, or other interventions outside the scope of nurse practice. Ask yourself why is this clinical issue a problem, what is contributing to this as a problem for nursing and how would resolving this issue/problem help nurses or the profession of nursing in the care and protection of patients and nurses. Include the following: Title page Provide a brief description of the topic and background information. You can use your text, your peer-reviewed journal source, or the EBP care sheets in CINAHL or Nursing Reference Center Database. Explain the significance of the topic to nursing practice. Background information can be found in journal articles in the introduction section. Results and conclusions will speak to the significance of the topic.
