Ethical and Policy Factors in Care Coordination
Hello my name is [Student Name] and I am here to present ethical and policy factors in care coordination. It is an integrated health care provider practice regulated by the health care professionals at the health care settings. It is a multidisciplinary concept that holds immense importance in the health care setup. Nurses are the main stakeholders of the care ordination according to the American Nursing Association Nursing Code of Ethics. The care coordination requires multiple sectors involvement of the community health care and national policymakers (Suhonen et al., 2018). This presentation analyzes the ethical considerations and implications in terms of the policies of the governments related to coordinated care. Several factors contribute to the care coordination plan including the nurses’ ethical conduct and the service provision limitations. The organization addressed for the policy regulatory analysis and ethical implications is the American Lung Association (ALA) for COPD. This organization works with the Federal and local governments to provide optimal lung health under different community and national laws (Hannigan et al., 2018).
Governmental Policies Provision for Health Care and Community
The government also have set up coordination care strategies and policies to enhance the patient-centred outcomes at the health care center and community level. The Affordable Care Act provides the necessary financial support to the patients to obtain optimal care. The Affordable Care Act was started in 2011 providing socio-economic benefits in the form of health insurance to chronic disease patients. The patients with COPD having frequent readmissions can be managed by the Affordable care act (Gerada, 2019).
The coordination of care enhances communication across the health care department. It also enhances the coordination among professionals that will reduce medication errors and provide the timely diagnosis of intra professional communication. The care coordination plan also improves the quality of care (Gerada, 2019). The Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) issues some community-based care transition programs that enhance the coordination in post-discharge patients and reduce the rehospitalization rate. This program uses meaningful technologies for monitoring and investigation of the improvement of the patient (Suhonen et al., 2018).
The American Lung Association (ALA) working with the U.S. Health Department has the triple aim of providing Care Coordination oriented health care. The policies include the involvement of the multiple sectors of society and health care units (ALA, 2021). The policies originated by the U.S. health care department and regulated by the ALA are centred to improve the patient experience of care at the health care units. Improve the health of the overall population with efficient care and reduce the costs of the health measures and treatment measures (Hannigan et al., 2018).
HIPAA permits health care providers to disclose to other health providers any protected health information (PHI) contained in the medical record about an individual for treatment, case management, and coordination of care and, with few exceptions, treats mental health information the same as other health information. The Federal Action Plan undergoes the multisectoral management of the policy. The 2021 action plan agenda emphasizes the policy implementation in the research arenas and the environmental pollution reduction (World Health Organization, 2021).
National, State and Local policies
The U.S. implemented National and State policies of the cessation of smoking and funded programs for the people who wants to quit smoking is provided. The local laws and regulations of preventing indoor smoking, cessation of the smoking campaigns, high taxes on tobacco and general community campaigns of the awareness of smoking and its health effects create a reasonable impact on the policy measures (Stumm et al., 2019). The American Lung Association is an organization that works with the Federal government in implementing and regulating lung health-related policies and laws. It is working in multiple domains to ensure safe air, lung health and preventing tobacco. ALA is mainly concerned with uplifting lung health. Its main purpose is to advocate and ed
