All my colleagues have a great impression on my research about healthcare reform. Everybody agrees on my point view on the growing practice of nursing and patient care delivery models. They all agreed on the nature of how magnet hospitals work and how effective the effects on patient care, and undisputed role in present patient care. The IOM has tremendous influence on the magnet hospitals. My colleagues also showed satisfaction about my research the community care concepts; it embraces the conceptual and operational components. They also agree suggest that the case management to get a viable model of community care.
A study of the ethical question, a number of case studies with remarks for dialogue, resources for further study and research, and the like. Shortly after the June 2001 counseling group meeting experts in ethics and public health were recruited to write the modules, with the considerate that they would work closely with local members of the public health practice community to be sure that concerns and issues from the practice community were well represented. The input of the practice community was critical to the quality and credibility of the modules, and we thank these consultants for their generous participation.
Through the period in which the modules were being developed, meetings and workshops continued the discussion begun in Washington. These incorporated a working group on ethics and public health at The Hastings Center, a summer workshop on ethics and public health co-sponsored by the University of Minnesota Center for Bioethics and The Hastings Center, and symposium workshops on training ethics in public health at annual meetings of both the American Public Health Association and the American Society for...

...ty. The medical home is best described as a model or philosophy of primary care that is patient- centered, comprehensive, team-based, coordinated, accessible, and focused on quality and safety. On the healthcare reform, medical homes have a vital role to play. My colleagues have great on my research about the responsibility and the tasks of a nurse are remains to modify and have gone through a lot of changes since the reform of the health care. They agree that nurses are currently in the community delivering different role for care instead of delivering acute care. For the lifelong treatment of patients whom nurses are accountable for are easier due to the ACO>s support for nurses being more prepared. My co workers have great view on the health clinics Remedial Homes are delivering patients with the quality care during the time of illness in the control of Nurses.
It is important as a professional health care provider to have guidelines, regulations, and ethical standards to obey when providing care to the public. The ACA is to improve the quality of professional counselors in the community with education, knowledge, and guidelines by providing an ACA Code of Ethics standard when delivering treatment toward a clientele (American Counseling Association, 2015). One particular part of the ACA mission that is essential, is the ACA Code of Ethics. The purpose of the ACA Code of Ethics is a guide to ensure counselors in training and professional counselors understand the ethical obligations toward clients, possible grievances for conduct unbecoming, and professional responsibilities, which supports the ACA
The quality of the home care must meet the essentials of the patients or service seekers. But it never means to fulfil the basic needs or requirements of the individuals who are seeking the service. On the other hand, if the home care is not able to meet the basic needs of the patients then this is important to analyse the certain reasons behind this (Janamian, et. al., 2014).

For hospitals to reach their peak in the healthcare world they must work to achieve a prestigious credential by the American Nurse's Credentialing Center ( Truth about nursing). In order to receive such a credential, hospitals must fulfill a set of criteria that will take a lot of work and reform within the hospital itself. To receive magnet status hospitals have to express the fourteen forces of magnetism along with the strict list of requirements (Flores, 2007). Magnet status along with everything has its benefits along with its problems. This credential has been researched in depth, and some research feels that certain thing should be changed in order for magnet hospitals to be the best they can possible be. Lastly, there is no doubt that magnet status is of great value because of how it transforms hospitals from great to greater.
The nurses would perform as per their training, access the direct reimbursement for services offered thus more would be able to access care. The change would see more nurses take up leadership roles and participate in decision making. Being at the center of practice, the nurse would be the best placed to identify and effectively implement innovations on patient-centered care. Once implemented, the nurse residency programs would access funding harness the transition from training to practice.
The article I chose discusses the continual change in the roles of nurses. The article also poses a concept that nursing now is not based on caring, but medicine. “By accepting continual changes to the role of the nurse, the core function of nursing has become obscured and, despite assuming medical tasks, the occupation continues to be seen in terms of a role that is subordinate to and dependent on medicine.” (Iley 2004) Nurses are taking a more professional role, and more tasks are being delegated to assertive personnel. Therefore, with all these changes occurring, the role of the enrolled nurse is unclear. “Previously, having two levels of qualified nurse in the United Kingdom had been seen as problematic for health service managers and nurses themselves, and the ending of enrolled nurse programs in 1992 helped to solve this problem.” (2004) The study in this article gathered the characteristics of enrolled nurses and differentiated the groups converting to registered nurses, groups in the process of conversion, and groups interested or not interested in conversion. This study reveals the situation of enrolled nurses in context of continuing towards the professionalization of nursing. “The data from this study support the possibility that the role of nurses as direct caregivers is seen as a positive dimension of the work they undertake.” (2004) The findings imply that nurses need to get back to being caregivers, instead of concentrating on obtaining professional status in medicine.
Since the 1990’s, the interest in nursing and the profession as a whole has decreased dramatically and is still expected to do so over the next 10-15 years according to some researchers. With this nursing shortage, many factors are affected. Organizations have to face challenges of low staffing, higher costs for resources, recruiting and reserving of registered nurses, among liability issues as well. Some of the main issues arising from this nurse shortage are the impact of quality and continuity of care, organizational costs, the effect it has on nursing staff, and etc. However, this not only affects an organization and community, but affects the nurses the same. Nurses are becoming overwhelmed and are questioning the quality of care that each patient deserves. This shortage is not an issue that is to be taken lightly. The repercussions that are faced by both nurses and the organization are critical. Therefore, state funding should be implemented to private hospitals in order to resolve the shortage of nurses. State funds will therefore, relieve the overwhelming burdens on the staff, provide a safe and stress free environment for the patient, and allow appropriate funds needed to keep the facility and organization operational.
Our group definition of health showed that health is broad and consists of objective and subjective parts. In contrast, the king’s interaction model (theory of goal attainment), the purpose of nursing is to help people maintain, or restore health by mutually goal setting. Her view towards the concept of health are easy to understand, but difficult to realize because the role of nurses is based on the health needs of patient, family, community and population. The other needs of patient, family and community will be resolve by nurses giving patients referrals or follow-up for care to other professionals. These health needs exclude health disparities and inequities in vulnerable population that nurses serve. Also, these health needs include reciprocal

Ethical issues in a counseling practice lay the foundation of a therapist in practice. Ethics are at the center of how the counseling process functions and operates in a successful manner for the clients who seek help in such a setting. In order for the counseling profession to be ethical and hold professional recognition, there are many facets that need to be examined and outlined to make sure all counselors and practitioners are functioning at the highest level and withholding their duties required by the counseling profession. The first introduction so to speak of the area of ethics also happens to be one of the first steps in counseling, which is the informed consent. The informed consent provides the basis of what happens or will be happening in a counseling setting and serves to inform the client to their rights, responsibilities, and what to expect. Most importantly, the informed consent is in place for the client’s benefit. It also is important to understand that culture and environment play a role in the treatment of a client and how theories can positively or negatively impact this treatment. Therapists need to understand how to work within the context of a theory while being able to understand the individual in their own environment. Although theories are put into place to serve as a framework, there are also alternative ways to approach counseling, one example being evidence-based practice. Such an approach is very specific, which presents a series of solutions for counseling as a whole, but also brings forth many problems. Every approach or theory introduces ethical concerns that need to be taken into consideration by the entire counseling community and how each can positively and negatively affect clients and the pr...
Ethics refers to the values and customs of a community at a particular point in time. At present, the term ethics is guided by the moral principles that guide our everyday actions. These moral principles guide the researcher into deciding what is ‘right’ or ‘wrong’. The foundation of medical ethics is governed by two philosophical frameworks that are deontology, and utilitarianism. However ultimately the ethics committees need to balance the risks, and benefits for the participants and the community associated with the particular research proposal. This balance is quite important as the well being of participants is at risk.7

In the recent years, the health care system has gone through major transformation related to implementation of Affordable care. Also the nation is facing many health challenging for example the American population is aging, also the nation is increasingly getting diversify and the role of health care reform is more focused towards wellness and preventive care. In addition to it, the patient care has become more complexed and in order to meets the demands of the transformed healthcare system nurses has to delivery competent and high quality patient care. It include, nurses’ roles as leadership, policy maker, system improvement, research and evidence based practice and interprofessional collaboration work. On the other hand, nurses has to exhibit their competency in community and public health and geriatrics and master their skills in information technology system which will assist them in partnership care with other health care professionals in the provision of quality care. In order to acknowledge the expanding demands and fulfilling the recommendations of IOM, nurses has to prepare themselves to meet the needs of the nation’s health by acquiring higher level of education (The National Academics of Science.

The Future of Nursing Being a registered nurse affords one the option of working in many diverse healthcare settings. In any practice setting, the climate of health care change is evident. There are diverse entities involved in the implementation and recommendation of these practice changes. These are led by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF), the Institute of Medicine (IOM), nursing campaign for action initiatives, as well as individual state-based action coalitions. Nurses need to be prepared and cognizant of the transformations occurring in health care settings, as well as the plans that put them at the forefront of the future.
