MY BEST TEAM EXPERIENCE
Nearly everyone has been part of a team during the course of their lives. Some of these team experiences may have been positive, some perhaps negative, and some neutral to the point that they are barely memorable. By working together with a team, you are offered unique opportunities for growth as other members will challenge your assumptions and present different perspectives. Think of your experiences being in teams. Which ones stand out as being most memorable?
In this Discussion, you will dissect the characteristics of a positive experience with a team. Then, you will use this analysis to develop clear takeaways for your own development as a team leader and manager.

The trouble is that all too many people have used the word depression to describe sadness and the connotation of depression is very serious generally requiring therapeutic intervention and if a biochemical basis for the depression, medication. Consequently, it is important to understand the difference in sadness and depression. Do you see a difference between sadness and depression? Explain.

Analyze ethical and legal implications of cases involving bioethics. Two examples of highly publicized cases are listed below. The national discussion concerning decision making for incompetent patients began with the 1976 case of Karen Ann Quinlan. Because she had been left in a persistent vegetative state after two periods of anoxia, her parents sought court authorization to remove her from a ventilator. The New Jersey Supreme Court, in a landmark, unanimous decision, authorized the removal based on Quinlans constitutional right of privacy, which the court concluded would be lost unless her parents were given authority to exercise it on her behalf. In the 15 years since Quinlan, courts in almost 20 states have reviewed disputes regarding treatment for incompetent patients. Courts in all these states have recognized the general right of competent people to refuse treatment, and in all but two states have also ultimately found that the U.S. Constitution, state constitution, or common law permits a surrogate to make treatment decisions on behalf of an incompetent person (Annas, 1990). The case of Nancy Cruzan is essentially identical to that of Karen Ann Quinlan, with one exception: Nancy Cruzan, a young woman in a persistent vegetative state because of a 1983 automobile accident, requires only tube feeding (rather than a ventilator and tube feeding) to continue to survive. Her parents firmly believe she would not want to have tube feeding continued under such circumstances, in part based on her own statement that she would not want to continue to live if she could not be at least halfway normal. For this reason, a trial judge authorized her parents to have their daughters tube feeding discontinued (Annas, 1990).

Case Study: Mr. Jones, age 37, is the CEO and owner of Jones Farm. He inherited the farm from his father and resides in the family home there with his wife Jane, age 35, and 4-year-old daughter, Angel. The Jones Farms is a large producer of various fruits, vegetables, and grains. Through trial and error, Mr. Jones, found a local company that produces an insecticide containing chlorpyrifos to be the most economical and effective insecticide for his crops. This insecticide has been used for almost 7 years at the farm for every crop produced. With easy access to this insecticide on the farm, it has been commonly used for pest control within their large home as well. Being proud owners of the crops grown on the farm, the Jones family often take advantage of the fresh fruits and vegetables available for their own table. Their consumption of the farms harvest has increased since the COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted their finances. The Joneses and their toddler, Angel, enjoyed fresh fruit and vegetables from the farm throughout the day. Mr. and Mrs. Jones have recently grown increasingly concerned about their daughters development. They have noticed that Angel seems to still be having a hard time with potty training despite being 4 years old. She has not picked up on basic colors and animals sounds that her preschool peers have almost mastered. Angels preschool teacher has mentioned that all children learn at their own pace but has voiced another concern with Mr. and Mrs. Jones regarding Angels motor skills development. While Mr. Jones appears relatively healthy, both he and Mrs. Jones frequently experience migraines which they attribute to the stress of everyday life and finances. Mrs. Jones often experiences nausea and even vomiting along with migraines. After reading the case study and researching chlorpyrifos, respond to the following discussion points: Identify how the family members could have been exposed to chlorpyrifos. Identify the exposure pathway of chlorpyrifos. What organ systems were affected by the chemical? What observable acute and chronic effects could be produced from exposure to the chlorpyrifos? What effects were observed in the case study? How and why are the effects different in the individuals? (i.e., what individual profile factors can affect toxicity?)

HIMA250 Healthcare Delivery Systems and Documentation
Assignment: Prepare for Joint Commission
You are the Health Information Director of a hospital, and your hospital has hired a consultant to help determine major issues with the hospitals information technology. The consultant submitted the following report:
City Hospital has a variety of hardware and software that is used in its departments. Computer workstations are widely used across the organization, but in many departments the computer workstations are too old to provide an adequate platform for the later versions of software that would most effectively support departmental reporting responsibilities.
There is no organization-wide network in place. Software applications and versions are not standardized across the organization, and so members of different departments cannot share data and information in electronic formats. This forces members of the organization to duplicate report generation efforts when reports contain the same or similar data.
An office suite application available to users on a local area network could help solve this problem. The absence of a local area network and an administrative database accessible to department managers means that reports must be prepared in the generating department, output on paper, and then input again in administrative departments to be utilized in administrative applications. An administrative database served by a network to all departments would require data to be gathered only once and then would be made available for subsequent users and purposes without reprocessing.
All of the logs that the organization currently generates, many of which are on an hourly or daily basis, could be more effectively administered and accessed if they were in electronic formats. In addition, interviews with data users state that even with the existing software, they had not been trained well enough to use it.

Nobodys talking about Medicare for all, or any kind of health-care overhaul, in the 2024 cycle
Then read this article,
Health Care Issues in the Early Stages of the Presidential 2024 Election
These two articles will help provide you with some context about the current state of affairs in presidential politics.
Instructions:
In this assignment, you will analyze a healthcare issue that presidential candidates may face questions about during the 2024 election campaign. Your task is to write a short memo, not exceeding 3 pages, using the IRAC method (Issue, Rule, Application, Conclusion). Your analysis should focus on facts and not personal opinions.
IRAC Method Overview:
Issue: Clearly identify the healthcare issue you are analyzing. What is the issue what is the topics that voters want to hear about or what is the issue that the candidate may be asked about on the campaign trail.
Rule: Explain the current landscape on this issue/topic. What are we currently doing around this issue or topic. Which groups are happy with the way things are which groups are unhappy and would like to see change.
Application: Explain how the candidate should respond to questions is the candidate for or against the current state of affairs. Would the candidate leave things the same or is there a different approach that he/she would consider or work to put in place. Think of this as the sound bites that the candidate will discuss to potential voters. In this section, you should also consider the impact of these statements on the candidate and the broader healthcare system. Who would vote for the candidate as a result of their viewpoint, who would vote against the candidate as a result of their viewpoint.
Conclusion: Summarize your findings and the potential implications for candidates.
