The agencies develop professional standards of care that promote healthcare quality. In this discussion, you will contrast differences between licensure, certification, and accreditation and the impact on healthcare organizations.
Topic
For this discussion board, you will be randomly assigned to one of three topics:
Topic A: Licensure
Topic B: Certification
Topic C: Accreditation
In your initial post:
Describe your assigned term. Identify an organization which provides the services. In your description, include details on the history and mission of the organization.
Elaborate on the purpose and areas of focus of the agency, e.g., providers, hospitals, laboratories, managed care organizations, etc.
Describe the impact of the measures/standards/guidelines of the agency is used to evaluate the effectiveness and/or efficiency of a healthcare organization.
Respond to the two additional topics you were not assigned. In each response, analyze the difference between your assigned topic and your classmates topic.

What are your overall impressions of the organizational culture of the hospital in the simulation? How does emotional intelligence impact relationships and communication effectiveness in health care organizations in general?
Introduction
This assessment is dedicated to examining emotional intelligence (EQ). The concept of emotional intelligence was developed by Daniel Goleman and has four main components: self-awareness, social awareness, self-management, and relationship management (Daft, 2023). Emotional intelligence is loosely defined as an individuals ability to perceive, identify, understand and manage emotions in self and others (Daft, 2023, p. 146). Experts argue that emotional intelligence is a better predictor of successful decision making and interpersonal relationships than cognitive intelligence, or IQ (Daft, 2023).
Additionally, emotional intelligence is now recognized as a critical factor in leadership development. Your work on this assessment will build on the personal leadership assessment you completed in the first assessment. That leadership assessment examined five critical domains from a high level. In this assessment you will look specifically at emotional intelligence. By completing this assessment, you will evaluate your EQ and explore the role that EQ plays in successful leadership.

Describe a real-world, current problem in US psychiatric care. This could be a problem that affects clinical decisions and may include a broad range of biological, psychological, and sociological issues.
You must create a PICO Question related to psychiatric patients with the following template:
What are the barriers to implementing x intervention for y patient/population?
x- intervention chosen
y- specific patient or population chosen.
It must be JUICY and with enough support evidence-based info because it will be used in every discussion for this class.
REQUIREMENTS: Do not include multiple populations. Choose one gender, race, and age range instead of the US population. DO NOT USE CBT, depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, insomnia, or exercise since these have been used before.
Do not use more than one intervention. If more than one intervention is used, it is nearly impossible to determine which intervention made the difference.
MUST BE MEASURABLE. Be specific with your chosen intervention. It is more specific to say obesity, which is measurable, than overweight.
Example of a PICO (USE AS A GUIDE)– In women experiencing natural menopause, is herbal medicine more effective than hormone replacement therapy in reducing menopausal symptoms? I would then use these terms to create the search strategy. MUST INCLUDE:
Describe a real-world, current problem in US psychiatric care. This could be a problem that affects clinical decisions and may include a broad range of biological, psychological, and sociological issues.
Summarize the reason this PICO question is so important to advanced practice nursing.
Could advertising for psychiatric medication increase the likelihood of self-diagnosis? How might this impact the labeling of mental illness as deviant?
General Instructions:

Topic: Advertising Medication, Media, and the Influence of Self-Diagnosis of Psychiatric Illness: Better Living Through Chemistry? Could advertising for psychiatric medication increase the likelihood of self-diagnosis? How might this impact the labeling of mental illness as deviant?
Background:
“In late 1997, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued new guidelines that allowed pharmaceutical companies to air prescription drug ads on television. These guidelines have expanded the pharmaceutical industry’s role as one of the major “engines” of medicalization. One arena in which there has been a dramatic increase in direct-to-consumer advertising (DTCA) of pharmaceuticals is the marketing of psychotherapeutic drugs, especially for depression. Because medicalization is thought to reduce blame and stigma attached to deviant conditions such as mental illness, the rise of DTCA for depression drugs may alter public conceptions of mental illness in general and of depression specifically.” (Payton and Thoits, linked article.)
Direct-to-consumer advertising of psychotropic medications has created controversy. The concern rests on self-diagnosis, increased frequency of prescriptions and consumer and physician behavior. In the article by Donohue and Berndt, researchers look at the impact of marketing on the choice of antidepressant drugs. In the Rubin excerpt, the author focuses specifally on media messages about psychotropic drugs and provides some research data on the influence of television. Neuroleptics (antipsychotic medications used to treat the positive symptoms associated with schizophrenia) are marketed directly to consumers as an “add-on” medication for antidepressant users. Abilify is an example. They are a dopamine antagonist and can have severe permanent side effects, including akinesia, tardive dyskinesia, and Parkinson’s disease.
ASSIGNED MATERIALS:
Three short articles are required for this assignment, along with the Unit 6 materials. I have also provided a few quick video links addressing advertising budgets and the medicalization of illnesses.
