  Examine a national healthcare issue and consider how that issue may impact your work setting.

 
If you were to ask 10 people what they believe to be the most significant issue facing healthcare today, you might get 10 different answers. Escalating costs? Regulation? Technology disruption? Social Determinant such as environment/community, education, access/quality to healthcare?
These and many other topics are worthy of discussion. Not surprisingly, much has been said in the research, within the profession, and in the news about these topics. Whether they are issues of finance, quality, workload, or outcomes, there is no shortage of changes to be addressed.
In this Discussion, you examine a national healthcare issue and consider how that issue may impact your work setting. You also analyze how your organization has responded to this issue.

DAT 205 Project Three Guidelines and Rubric
Competency
In this project, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following competency:
· Describe how data analysis impacts organizational decision making
Scenario

You recently started a new position as a data analyst for a large corporation. This past year, members of the organization’s leadership council have shared a new organization-wide strategic goal: Leverage data analytics and technology to become data-driven decision makers.
One way your organization is planning to become more data-driven is to adopt a new customer relationship management (CRM) system. This system would allow the organization to manage relationships with current customers, identify potential customers, increase profits, streamline processes, and facilitate business decisions. In addition, the CRM system will utilize data analysis, which is of high interest to your stakeholders.
A majority of the organization’s stakeholders are unfamiliar with your process for using data analysis to facilitate organizational decision making. The data analytics team has recently received several inquiries from a variety of stakeholders asking you how data analysis, and specifically the new CRM, can be used effectively to impact organizational decision making.
Quite often, professionals use elevator pitches to clearly and concisely convey important information to others. You will need to consider the interests of the organization’s stakeholders and determine what they need to know. To gain acceptance and “buy-in” from stakeholders, prepare an elevator pitch on how analysis using data from the CRM system can be instrumental in data-driven decision making.
Directions
First, select the industry you are most interested in:
·
Healthcare

Note: If you are interested in an industry that is not listed above, reach out to your instructor for approval prior to completing your project. You are not required to select the same industry that you explored in other projects in this course.

You conduct a quick search online to learn more about elevator pitches and find the Elevator Pitch Guide and an easy template to follow (see the What to Submit and Supporting Materials sections below). Create a clear and concise elevator pitch by first introducing yourself and then discussing the following:
·
Describe what it means to be a data-driven organization. Consider the following:

· How can data inform decision making? Consider providing an example that is relevant to your industry.
· How does a CRM system play a role in organizational decision making?
· What is data analysis? How do organizations use data analysis? What are its benefits?
· Upon purchasing a CRM system, the data analytics team will be responsible for managing the data using the data analytics lifecycle (DAL). 
Briefly explain each stage of the DAL and a data analyst’s role in each stage. Consider mentioning the relevant types of data that will be available from the CRM system and what questions that data can be used to address in your organization and the industry you selected.

· As part of the DAL, data analysts communicate their results to various audiences. A CRM system is a common tool used for data-driven decision making in organizations. In your elevator pitch, 
identify at least two types of tools or methods for sharing data and results from a CRM system. Consider the following:

· What methods or tools are available and are widely used by analysts to demonstrate conclusions to decision makers?
· How might data visualization play a role in communicating your results?
· Be sure to 
explain why these tools or methods are appropriate for communicating with stakeholders and other nontechnical audiences in your organization. Consider the following:

· What are the benefits of communicating information this way?
· Do these tools or methods accurately summarize the information you would like to convey?
· Will the tools or methods meet the stakeholders’ needs?
· Are there any considerations that need to be made in regard to cost or time for using these tools or methods?
·
Explain how data influences and impacts organizational decision making. Consider the following:

· What are the potential improvements that data from a CRM system with data analysis capabilities can be used to facilitate in this type of organization and industry?
· How will adopting a CRM system impact an organization and its functions?
· What are the potential constraints when using a CRM system?

Choose one area of opportunity to focus on. Using the CHNA data, answer the following questions. What is the area of opportunity you have identified? What data was shared that supported this opportunity?

Listed below are the assignment instructions. The assignment bid is $12 and the due date is Nov 27th. The Safeassign percentage cannot exceed 15%. 
Start by using an internet search or other methods to find a CHNA for an organization of your choice. It is recommended to use an organization in your community or where you work. CHNAs are required in charitable hospital organizations per IRS guidelines, and are required to be made public, so this type of facility may be a good place to start. If you have trouble finding an assessment, you can reach out to your professor.
Next, review the CHNA and identify the areas of opportunity as well as the supporting data. For example, if the local unemployment rate is high, perhaps job opportunities are an area that could be improved.
Choose one area of opportunity to focus on. Using the CHNA data, answer the following questions.
What is the area of opportunity you have identified?
What data was shared that supported this opportunity?
What is one idea you have to address this opportunity?
If you were going to create a strategic marketing plan for this idea, what research would you need to do (minimum of four specific areas)?
How would each of these research areas impact your final proposal on how to address this opportunity?
In your opinion, what would be the most difficult part of obtaining this research data?
Reflecting on the impact of the research you identified, what is the risk to this area of opportunity, if you made a plan without doing the necessary research?
Your project must be a minimum of two written pages. You may include graphics or charts to support your project, but they do not count toward the written page requirement.

Introduction: About Lab safety virtual simulations lab
Laboratories can be very dangerous, especially if you’ve never set foot in one before. So in this simulation, you’ll get the chance to make your debut in a virtual one! You will learn how to use the lab safety equipment, and how to react in case of an emergency. Detect and eliminate sources of danger and pass on your lab safety knowledge to friends.

Identify hazards
Safety first! Always pay attention to potential hazards when you enter a lab. In this simulation, you will create a tidy and safe working environment by identifying and eliminating hazards in the lab. You will be introduced to the lab safety rules and the safety equipment, which will help you and your colleagues, if something was to go wrong in a real lab.
Emergency training
You will be introduced to the basic hazard symbols used to categorize dangerous materials. You’ll use this knowledge to prevent dangerous situations, like acid spills. But you will also learn how to deal with unlabeled, potentially hazardous chemicals. By mastering such situations in this simulation, you won’t have to worry about being exposed to any real danger. You will learn how to operate the eye-wash and also get an introduction to various other pieces of lab safety equipment.
Spread your knowledge
It is important to share your newly acquired knowledge with your colleagues. In this simulation, you will meet your friend Lucy who’s never worked in a lab before. Pass on your lab safety knowledge and help her dress appropriately for a day in the lab.
Will you be able to apply your knowledge, and make sure that you and your friend stay safe in the laboratory?

Identify and describe practice barriers for all four APNs’ roles in your state and discuss these barriers on a state and national level. The four roles include the nurse midwife, nurse anesthetist, nurse practitioner, and clinical nurse specialist.

Nurse midwives often struggle with scope of practice limitations and the necessity for collaborative agreements, which can sometimes disrupt their ability to provide comprehensive care. Nurse anesthetists may face restrictions, such as supervision requirements and inconsistent reimbursement policies, limiting their autonomy in anesthesia care. Nurse practitioners and clinical nurse specialists confront barriers like collaborative agreements and scope of practice restrictions, which can affect their capacity to deliver primary and specialized care independently. These state-level obstacles are further complicated by variations in laws and regulations across the country. At the national level, lack of consistency and autonomy make it challenging for APNs to provide consistent, high-quality healthcare (Peterson, 2018).

Identify forms of competition on the state and national level that interfere with APNs’ ability to practice independently.

At the state level, one form of competition arises from established healthcare hierarchies and interests. Physicians’ groups and medical associations often lobby for laws and regulations that restrict APN autonomy to protect their traditional roles in healthcare. With a limited scope of practice, APNs are sometimes forced to adhere to physician regulations. On the national level, Medicare reimbursement rates and federal funding allocations can be influenced by powerful stakeholders, including pharmaceutical companies, insurance providers, and large healthcare systems. These sources may advocate for regulations that favor their interests instead of that of others (Galvani et al., 2020).

Identify the specific lawmakers by name at the state level (i.e., key members of the state’s legislative branch and executive branch of government)

In Florida, the governor Ron DeSantis, is the head of the executive branch. Jeanette Nunez is the lieutenant governor, Ashley Moody is the attorney general, Jimmy Patronis is the chief financial officer, and Wilton Simpson is the agricultural commissioner. On the legislative side, the senate president is Kathleen Passidomo, the house speaker is Paul Renner, the majority leader for the senate is Ben Albritton and for the house is Michael Grant. Lastly, the minority leader for the senate is Lauren Book and for the house is Fentrice Driskell (BallotPedia, 2022).

Discuss interest groups that exist at the state and national levels that influence APN policy.

At the state level, physician groups often advocate for policies that maintain their traditional roles and may oppose measures that grant APNs greater autonomy. Oppositely, nursing associations like the American Association of Nurse Practitioners (AANP) and American Association of Nurse Anesthetists (AANA) work to advance APN practice, pushing for full scope of practice and reimbursement policy changes to enhance access to care. On the national level, there are also national nursing organizations like the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) and the National Council of Nurse Practitioners (NCNP) that actively advocate for APN policy changes that can promote independent practice (Brom et al., 2018).

Discuss methods used to influence change in policy in forms of competition, state legislative and executive branches of government, and interest groups.

Some methods used to influence change in policy include political campaigns and quality and safety initiatives. Supporting candidates who are sympathetic to APN issues and policy changes through campaign contributions and grassroots mobilization can influence election outcomes, ultimately affecting the composition of legislative and executive branches. APNs can also participate in quality and safety initiatives to demonstrate a commitment to high-quality care and patient well-being can enhance their credibility and influence (Cullerton et al., 2018).
