Nursing has a
pivotal role in shaping policies and implementing practices to improve patient
outcomes. Increasingly, healthcare is being reimbursed based on outcomes,
including patient satisfaction and quality of care. Healthcare professionals
are being held accountable for the care provided and the patient outcomes
achieved. In this changing environment, nurses should have an awareness of
financial implications, share in the decision-making process, and leverage data
through participation in continuous improvement processes.
For this task, you
will examine the payment model of a healthcare organization and compare it with
the principles of value-based care.
You will consider
the organizational ethics that are reflected in the financial structure of the
organization and discuss data that informs this financial structure. You will
compare this organization to another organization and consider which organization
is most aligned with value-based care principles. You will discuss the role of
nursing in the fiscal responsibility of the value-based care model.
Your goal for this
task is to clearly and concisely present a recommendation that analyzes the
alignment of the financial structure within a healthcare organization to
value-based healthcare and analyzes the role of nursing in value-based
healthcare, using convincing evidence to promote the necessity for change.
