Answer 2 for NURS FPX 4050 Assessment 3 – Care Coordination Presentation to Colleagues

Hello everyone and welcome to my presentation about ethical and policy issues that impact care coordination. My presentation will focus on the critical role that ethical and policy factors play in care coordination; especially enhancing patient outcomes and nursing professional conduct, as well as the ethical dilemmas they raise that challenge care coordination. The presentation will demonstrate these aspects by using the American Diabetes Association and its role in care coordination

Health organizations like the American Diabetes Association coordinate care and should be aware of ethical and policy issues that affect such activities. Care coordination is the intentional synchronization of different activities and the use of information to develop effective treatment and care interventions for better outcomes for patients in different health situations (Hill-Briggs et al., 2021). Community organizations should adhere to the ethical and policy requirements set by professional entities and government through regulations in healthcare. The increasing prevalence of chronic conditions like diabetes means that more people require coordinated care which must be founded on ethical and policy bases for better outcomes (Fang et al., 2022). Policies like the Affordable Care Act 2010 and Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) are essential because they affect access to quality care while nurses and other healthcare providers must demonstrate ethical conduct by following the set ethical codes when delivering care for patients with diabetes.

Overview of the American Diabetes Association

American Diabetes Association is a non-profit organization that offers education, support, and advocacy for individuals with diabetes, their families, and caregivers (ADA, 2023). The organization helps in advocating better treatment and accessibility based on government policies like the Affordable Care Act of 2010. Through its data, the organization asserts that over 1.2 million Americans are diagnosed with diabetes each and require care because the condition is chronic. The association works with healthcare providers, patients and their families, and government agencies at state and federal levels in its efforts to end diabetes in the country.
