...ACHE v. AMA Codes of Ethics ACHE v. AMA Codes of Ethics The American College of Healthcare Executives (ACHE) Code of Ethics is a list of principles set forth to guide healthcare executives in their daily practice. The Code of Ethics clearly defines the behavior and performance standards required by those performing the duties of healthcare executives. The ACHE Code of Ethics is designed in a way that clearly directs healthcare executives in their interactions with patients, employees, and the community. The ACHE Code of Ethics also clearly defines the responsibilities of the healthcare executive to the profession of healthcare management and also the responsibilities of the healthcare executive to the organization, as well as the responsibility of the healthcare executive to report violations of the code to the appropriate entities. The ACHE Code of Ethics is comprehensive and provides guidance for healthcare executives in the many facets of the profession. One of the areas of strength of the ACHE Code of Ethics is the focus on ensuring that there are adequate processes in places for nearly every area of patient care, including conflict resolution, safeguards to prevent discrimination, ensuring autonomy, ensuring confidentiality, and many others. Because the ACHE Code of Ethics outlines the importance of having these processes in place, it is vital that the healthcare executive ensure that these processes are in place so that he/she can be in compliance with the ethical...

...standards and produce qualified and literate students. The private schools are a model that needs to be emulated by public schools to improve their performance. Public schools need to make use of use private schools as an example to be followed. However research indicates that the underlying issue that is affecting the performance in public school in limited funding which affects the daily activities in the educational institutions. A lot need to be done, in terms of additional funding, to bridge the gap in terms of performance between public and private schools. Education is the foundation of democracy as well as freedom and a key to financial prosperity. Education has never been vital like in the modern world as it determines the future of a nation and the young people. Public schools have to strive to offer equality in their institutions unlike any era in a country’s history.

...Nursing Education Program Funding Health Policy Capella University MBA 6275 May 24, 2015 Nursing Education Program Funding Health Policy Health Policy Topic & Problem There is a need to support education programs such as Title VIII funding in FYs 2015 and 2016 (AANP, 2015). It is vital that Congress preserve funding for nurse practitioners educational programs, traineeships, and Nurse Managed Clinics. Congress must reduce federal spending through the Division of Nursing in the Bureau of Health Professions of the Department of Health and Human Services. The American Academy of Nurse Practitioners (AANP) are advocates for nurse practitioners and patients. The AANP’s legislative team identify critical issues related to licensure, access to care, patient safety, health care reform, and reimbursement. They represent NPs on national committees and in health organization. Thus, the AANP is fighting Congress for sufficient funding for Nurse Education Programs (2015). The writer will introduce a new policy to improve the nursing shortage. Literature Review According to the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN, 2014), a shortage of nursing school faculty is restricting nursing program enrolments. Nursing schools identified faculty shortages for rejecting qualified applicants. In 2012-2013, U.S. nursing schools rejected almost 80, 000 qualified applicants from undergraduate and graduate nursing programs due to insufficient number of faculty (2014). In addition...

...health care are connected for the time to come. It is substantial to assure health care institutions carry the capacity and work force with proficient abilities to face the present and upcoming requirements (IOM, 2010). The ongoing nursing shortage will affect the way that the organizations will demonstrate unharmed, sufficient care. Nursing deficit presents a serious matter to the safety and satisfaction of health care. Sadly there is an extended remaining list for learners to enter the nursing schools. Also the number of nurse graduates is insufficient for the health care needs (IOM, 2010). This paper will discuss Robert Wood Johnson’s Foundation core, analyze how the institutions are assessing the nursing shortage during the programs and campaigns and effect on the nursing prospective in the nation to find solution for the nursing deficit. The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) concentrates on promoting well-being and addressing the health problems that the nation has to deal with.

The committee collaborates with multistate leaders to create approach for raise nurse education level working with the present programs in the community colleges and universities more effective.

In addition, they are attempting to reorganize employers’ policies to reinforce academic...

...Education, Health Care, and Immigration are three very controversial issues prevalent in American society. I believe that all three of these issues are difficult for American citizens and society to come to public judgment, but of the three, I think health care is the most difficult. To start off, Health Care has been an ongoing problem in the United States since the end of World War II. Over these past sixty years, there have been numerous attempts to come to public judgment and fix the system but America has yet to come up with a successful plan to please and supply the appropriate care for all its citizens. Due to the amount of time Health Care has been an issue in American society, reflects just how tough it has been to come to public judgment. Health Care is also an issue that affects the lives of every American citizen directly. No matter what age, race, class, or gender a citizen will play a role in the system because every American has “health.” Compared to Health Care, Immigration and Education either indirectly or directly affects the lives of American citizens, which in my opinion makes them slightly easier for American society to reach a public judgment. Immigration is an issue that has been in and out of the spotlight throughout the history of the United States. There have been more important issues that the American public and government chose to address first. The issues concerning immigration are that many Americans are upset that foreign born people...

...States Supreme Court in the case of Wisconsin v. Yoder was a significant statement for both public education and religious freedom. In terms of religious freedom, the requirement of the government to present a compelling reason to deny exercise of religious beliefs was reaffirmed. Meanwhile, public education continued to be presented as optional, provided that the objecting parents could present an adequate alternative for the education of their children. The case of Wisconsin v. Yoder began with the conviction of three Amish parents for refusing to send their children to public school after the eighth grade when Wisconsin law required attendance until the age of 16. The case underwent a series of appeals until it reached the United States Supreme Court in 1972. The state’s argument was based on an equal application of its role as parens patriae, which gives the government the right to act on behalf of children against abusive or neglectful parents. They argued that depriving the children of public education was...

...19th and 20th century, African-American men and women were officially freed from slavery due to the enforcement of the Emancipation Proclamation and the Thirteenth Amendment. Even though the Emancipation Proclamation and Thirteenth Amendment declared their freedom, they were deprived of their identity and became “emasculated by a peculiarly complete system of slavery.” The destruction of the African-American identity caused enslavement to a submissive mentality. The submissive mentality was a significant factor that slowed down the process of African-Americans expanding their knowledge and becoming American citizens. African-Americans faced the challenge of overcoming the mental blocks caused by slavery, which allowed them to revert their labor training and disregard the ability to succeed academically. Until African-Americans rallied a sufficient number of graduates from college, their help came from organizations that supported educating African-Americans and the Freedmen’s Bureau. Some organizations and Bureau agents from the Freedmen’s Bureau would send northern teachers to the...

...disaster was massive beyond comprehension, and foreign aid reached only small fractions of the population. The outside world began to ask, “What would it take to rebuild Haiti?” More importantly, “What would it take to remove Haiti from their 200 year pattern of poverty and failure (Smith)?” Throughout its history, Haiti has constantly depended on foreign aid, especially from the United States and France. Today, over two years after the earthquake, they’re still in great need of assistance. We as Americans owe it to our resilient Caribbean brothers to lead them to a prosperous and thriving future. While helping in Haiti, Paul Halvorsen, a graduate of Illinois Wesleyan University, speaks of the Haitian people saying, “you would not believe when you look in their eyes how strong they are and how much hope they have” (Huttes 4). In order to lead Haiti to a better future, foreign aid organizations need to focus on educating Haitians, which will lead to economic stimulus and a more self-sufficient...

...American Dietary Issues: A Personal Responsibility? Throughout American history, American food has represented a big and controversial issue for its consumers. Consumers are getting warn out from diseases that food causes them. On the other hand, the intervention of the government seemed to symbolize a way to fix nutrition problems for some consumers, while for others, that intervention is unnecessary. The government’s influence may be seen in the dietary habits of Americans as consumers are affected by illnesses; however, the dietary habits are entirely the responsibility of the individuals who may be informed by stigmatization and the media. When it comes to diseases produced by eating habits, consumers, doctors, nutritionists, and government representatives are agree that “something” has to be done to end this...

...that America has lost its competitive edge when it comes to education and innovation. Some may say that the Chinese are now the leaders in innovation and education. The Program for International Student Assessment, or PISA, collects test results from 65 countries for its rankings, which come out every three years. The latest results, from 2012, show that U.S. students ranked below average in math among the world's most-developed countries. They were close to average in science and reading (NPR, 2013). According to (Zakaria, 2011) in the 1970s, “California public schools were the envy of the world”. Currently, California public schools aren’t as great as they were in the 1970s. With the decline in the quality of teachers and curriculum California schools are suffering when it comes to national test scores and graduation rates. In addition, public schools across America suffer from low performing teachers and students. As stated by Zakaria, America has the shortest school days and school year in comparison to other countries. In other countries such as Finland and China longer school days and schools years have been proven to work in regards to the advancement of students. Also, with the requirement that all teachers have a master’s degree ensures that the students will have a high caliber teacher. Zakaria also stated that he believes that longer school days and a longer school year will help American students get back on road to success. I to believe that...

...Through pre-adoption education programs, cultural competency amongst white TRA parents can be achieved, allowing TRA parents to better understand the importance of racial and cultural socialization in identity development. Elizabeth Vonk and Richard Massatti conducted a multi-variable analysis to quantify the effects financial status, age, number of children, and adoption education programs on cultural competence (Vonk and Massatti 221). The study found that there was a positive correlation of cultural competence when there were post-adoption interactions with adoption counselors, when the parents of TRA did not have biological children, and when families maintained an annual income of at least $75,000. Yet, there was no correlation between...

...Sex education in public schools has been a controversial issue in the United States for over a decade. With the HIV and teen pregnancy crises growing, sex education is needed. Some of the American public believe that sex education should be taught at home by the children’s parents. Some argue that sex education in schools do not put an emphasis on abstinence and encourages children to have sexual intercourse. Sex is a prominent issue that constantly arises in the media and it is our duty to enforce and enhance a more effective sexual education program in schools. As Charles Krauthammer stated, “Sex oozes from every pore of the culture and there is not a kid in the world who can avoid it” (Krauthammer). As a Freshman in college, I have been fortunate enough to undergo more than one opportunity of sex education. I was introduced to sex education in the fifth grade. Some may say the fifth grade is too early to start, but I think that it is an effective age to begin simply because it is the point where puberty creeps up on us and it is important for adolescence to be aware what is happening to their bodies. From fifth grade to my junior year of high school, I was given the rare opportunity to be a part of a various sex education classes. However, not all students are lucky enough to get a chance at an effective and complete sex education or any at all. Schools today usually dedicate one year to sex education for students. Typically, this is done either their sophomore or junior...
