Homework: Ethical & Policy Factors In Care Coordination

For this homework, select a community organization or group that you feel would be interested in learning about ethical and policy issues that affect the coordination of care. Then, develop a 10 to 12 slides intended for that audience.

Scenario

Your nurse manager at the community care center is well connected and frequently speaks to a variety of community organizations and groups. She has noticed the good work you are doing in your new care coordination role and respects your speaking and presentation skills. Consequently, she thought that an opportunity to speak publicly about contemporary issues in care coordination would be beneficial for your career and has suggested reaching out to a community organization or support group to gauge their interest in hearing from you, as a care center representative, on a topic of interest to both you and your prospective audience. You have agreed that this is a good idea and have decided to research a community organization or support group that might be interested in learning about ethical and policy issues related to the coordination of care.

Create a detailed narrative script or speaker's notes for your presentation.

First select one of the following community organizations or groups underlined.

1) Gay and Lesbian Medical Association (GLMA): GLMA is a national leader in LGBTQ+ health issues and provides a free-to-the-public listing of LGBTQ+-friendly practices in the United States.

2) Veterans Affairs (VA): The VA has an LGBTQ+ Veteran Care Coordinator (VCC) in every VA health care system to help LGBTQ+ veterans get the care they need. The VCC can answer questions, advocate for patients' right to quality care, and help patients get started with services for LGBTQ+ veterans.

After you have selected one of the problems/issues from the list above, review the guidelines.

Your slide deck should consist of 10 to 12 slides, not including a title and references slide with detailed typed speaker notes or narrative script for your presentation.
