Introduction
Nurses have a powerful role in the coordination and continuum of care. All nurses must be cognizant of the care coordination process and how safety, ethics, policy, physiological, and cultural needs affect care and patient outcomes. As a nurse, care coordination is something that should always be considered. Nurses must be aware of factors that impact care coordination and of a continuum of care that utilizes community resources effectively and is part of an ethical framework that represents the professionalism of nurses. Understanding policy elements helps nurses coordinate care effectively.
This assessment provides an opportunity for you to educate your peers on the care coordination process. The assessment also requires you to address change management issues. You are encouraged to complete the Managing Change activity.
Completing course activities before submitting your first attempt has been shown to make the difference between basic and proficient assessment.
Preparation
Your nurse manager has been observing your effectiveness as a care coordinator and recognizes the importance of educating other staff nurses in care coordination. Consequently, she has asked you to develop a presentation for your colleagues on care coordination basics. By providing them with basic information about the care coordination process, you will assist them in taking on an expanded role in helping to manage the care coordination process and improve patient outcomes in your community care center.
To prepare for this assessment, identify key factors nurses must consider to effectively participate in the care coordination process.

1. What factors must exist for there to be an efficient market?
2. What does it mean when there is market failure? Give an example of market failure in the healthcare market?

ANSWER
Factors for Efficient Markets
For a market to be considered efficient, it must meet certain criteria that ensure the optimal allocation of resources and the fair distribution of goods and services. These criteria include:

1. Perfect Competition: This occurs when there are numerous buyers and sellers in the market, with no single entity holding significant control over the price or supply of goods.

2. Free Entry and Exit: Businesses should be free to enter and exit the market without facing undue barriers or restrictions. This allows for competition and the efficient allocation of resources.

3. Perfect Information: All market participants should have access to complete and accurate information about the goods and services being traded. This ensures that decisions are made based on sound judgment.

4. Rational Behavior: Market participants should act rationally and in their own best interests. This leads to efficient pricing and the satisfaction of consumer preferences.

5. Zero Externalities: Production and consumption should not generate externalities, which are costs or benefits that are not reflected in the market price. Externalities can lead to market inefficiencies.

2. Market Failure and Healthcare Example
Market failure occurs when the market mechanism fails to allocate resources efficiently or provide a fair distribution of goods and services. This can lead to various issues, such as:

1. Inefficient Allocation of Resources: Market failures can lead to an overallocation of resources to certain sectors while underallocating them to others. This can result in shortages, surpluses, and misallocation of resources.

2. Unfair Distribution of Goods and Services: Market failures can create inequities in access to goods and services, particularly for those with limited resources or facing discrimination.

3. Production of Externalities: Market failures can lead to the production of externalities, such as pollution or congestion, which are not reflected in market prices and impose costs on society.

In the healthcare market, several factors can contribute to market failure:

1. Information Asymmetry: Patients often lack complete and accurate information about their health conditions, treatment options, and associated costs. This asymmetry can lead to suboptimal choices and exploitation by healthcare providers.

2. Third-Party Payment: The involvement of insurance companies can create a moral hazard, where patients may overconsume healthcare services due to reduced financial responsibility.

3. Public Goods Nature of Healthcare: Certain aspects of healthcare, such as disease prevention and public health initiatives, have a public goods nature, making it difficult to charge consumers directly for these services.

4. Barriers to Entry: Regulatory barriers and high capital requirements can limit competition in the healthcare sector, leading to higher prices and reduced innovation.

Comparative Performance
Prior to beginning work on this discussion, read chapters 3 and 4 from the course text.
For this discussion, you are tasked with comparing two hospitals, one that is considered a safety-net hospital (public hospitals who care for a large segment of the population who are uninsured or underinsured) and one hospital from a more affluent area in the state where you live.
Visit The Joint Commission: Quality Check Links to an external site.(https://www.qualitycheck.org/).
Take the following steps to find two hospitals:
Enter a city and state(Tampa Florida), and then select Locate.
A list of hospitals for that city and state will populate on the page. Select View Report.
Select View Accreditation History. Next, select the most recent Quality Report, which will open as a PDF document. Scroll down to the pages that list the National Patient Safety Goals and then the National Quality Improvement Goals. Choose one from either list.
If you choose a National Patient Safety Goal,
State the goal and the procedure(s) indicated in the Organization Should
Discuss the implications to the patient, staff (physicians, nurses, medical assistance, pharmacists, etc.) and hospital if the health care professional fails to follow the procedure indicated.
If you choose a Quality Improvement Goal,
State the measure and explanation of that goal.
Discuss how the hospital can improve their performance to meet the target.
Repeat the above steps for a second hospital. Reminder, one hospital should be a safety-net hospital and one should serve an affluent community.
Next, compare and contrast the differences between the two facilities. After review of the two hospitals, discuss your opinion about the reasons these hospitals could have disparities.
Your initial post should utilize at least one scholarly source.

Embed course material concepts, principles, and theories (which require supporting citations) in your initial response along with at least one scholarly, peer-reviewed journal article. Keep in mind that these scholarly references can be found in the Saudi Digital Library by conducting an advanced search specific to scholarly references. Use Saudi Electronic University academic writing standards and APA style guidelines. You are required to reply to at least two peer discussion question post answers to this weekly discussion question and/or your instructor’s response to your posting. These post replies need to be substantial and constructive in nature. They should add to the content of the post and evaluate/analyze that post’s answer. Normal course dialogue doesn’t fulfill these two peer replies but is expected throughout the course. Answering all course questions is also required. 450-550 words minimum

Locate an article that reports on the quality of healthcare services. The article must be sourced from the mass media and not from an academic or healthcare journal. The purpose of this assignment is to review information reported to the general public in a news source that does not exclusively cover healthcare issues. Weekly magazines, such as Time, Newsweek, US News and World Report, Forbes, Money, and Consumer Reports, and newspapers, such as the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times, would be appropriate choices. The article may give various examples of good or bad quality instead of covering just one episode of care. Your selected article must be a comprehensive review or assessment of some aspect of healthcare services. Summarize the article. Be certain to indicate the basis for the report, that is, whether it is the result of academic research, an independent investigation, or something else.
Answer the following questions.
Summarize what conditions, processes, or events are noted as good quality or poor quality healthcare in the article. What is your own assessment of these conditions, processes, or events? Explain.
Does the article assign responsibility to persons or processes for the problems or achievements it reports? Does it provide sufficient evidence for assigning responsibility? Explain your answers.
Assess the suggestions for healthcare quality improvement in the article.
Explain your reaction to this article as a consumer of healthcare services. In answering this question, note how the article uses language and any persuasive techniques.
Explain your reaction to this article as a provider of healthcare services. Why is this reaction the same as or different from your reaction as a consumer?
Is the article fair in its reporting and assessing healthcare quality? Why or why not?
