There are a number of stakeholders in healthcare, many of whom are actively involved in policymaking activities. A common compliance-related concern involves a conflict of interest between a stakeholder and the organization. A conflict of interest often involves the inability of a stakeholder to perform their duties appropriately because it could possibly betray their interests to the organization. For instance, interest groups may attempt to influence public policy in their favor, often by lobbying members of the government. In this case, the influence of interest groups on policymaking is not necessarily an illegal activity; rather, it is viewed more as a significant part of the decision-making process.
Based on what you learned this week, address the following requirements:
Discuss two examples of conflicts of interest in policymaking.
What might influence stakeholders to engage in policymaking activities that could pose a conflict of interest?
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.

COLLAPSE
I discovered a paper titled “Evaluate the Effect of Education Interventions on the Prevention of Diabetic Foot Ulcers via Disease Knowledge and Self-Care Practices in Saudi Arabia.” (Mohamed & Kersha, 2018). I will analyze it briefly
Globally, diabetes mellitus is a big societal concern. Professionals find it challenging to treat diabetic foot ulcers. Six key factors impede the healing of diabetic foot ulcers: infection, glycemic management, vascular supply, smoking, and food. The goal of this research is to investigate the efficacy of educational interventions in avoiding diabetic foot ulcers by enhancing awareness of the disease and self-care habits (Mohamed & Kersha, 2018).
The researcher used a quasi-experimental technique. In 2016, the research study was done in the Internal Medicine Department and Outpatient Clinic of Umulj General Hospital. Sixty persons with diabetes mellitus participated in the study. The research was approved by both the University of Tabuk Research Ethics Committee and the Ministry of Health (Mohamed & Kersha, 2018).
Eligible patients have type 2 diabetes mellitus, fall between the ages of 18 and 60, and have had diabetes for at least five years. Excluded from the research are individuals with gastroparesis, orthostatic hypotension, hypoglycemia unawareness (autonomic neuropathy), mental illness, and hearing or visual impairments (Mohamed & Kersha, 2018).
There were two groups patients involved randomly : first group (n = 30), which got an educational program with instructions and was educated on the activities included in it; and second group (n = 30), which was the control group. The participants in the control group received normal hospital treatment (Mohamed & Kersha, 2018).
To gather the required data for the investigation, the following instruments were utilized: The study consisted of three phases: pre-study, implementation, and evaluation. The first tool was a patient assessment, the second was a nursing intervention protocol, and the third was an observational checklist for foot care (Mohamed & Kersha, 2018).
The research and control groups demonstrated that there was a substantial correlation between patients’ knowledge of diabetes-related issues, their degree of practice, and their education (Mohamed & Kersha, 2018).
After applying the created training program, patients’ knowledge, ability to do self-foot care, and degree of patient awareness increased dramatically, according to the research (Mohamed & Kersha, 2018).
Frequently, a lack of high-quality data hinders the use of quasi-experimental procedures. Any approach established after the conclusion of a program or policy will be substantially hampered by the absence of baseline data (White & Sabarwal, 2014). Due to the dependence of quasi-experimental techniques on particular hypotheses, causal conclusions formed from them are less definite than those obtained from a well-conducted randomized controlled trial (RCT). In contrast, quasi-experimental procedures are often favorably received by decision-makers provided they are conducted efficiently and presented coherently (i.e., making apparent the constraints and how they affect the results) (White & Sabarwal, 2014).

Implementing Lean Management System and Lean Six Sigma in Healthcare Settings (125 points)
You are the chairperson of the hospital’s quality improvement committee. The committee is planning to introduce Lean Management Systems (LMS) and Lean Six Sigma (LSS) to the organization as a newly adopted framework to increase the quality and efficiencies of healthcare delivery, as outlined in the health sector transformation program of Saudi Vision 2030.
For this assignment, you will create a presentation for staff that achieves the following:
Provide a brief history of CQI in healthcare and an introduction to LMS and LSS. Include how this aligns with the aims of the Saudi Vision 2030 health sector transformation program.
Analyze the benefits of using LMS and LSS as it applies to improving patient outcomes.
Describe the application of LMS and LSS to healthcare. Include examples of recent achievements of healthcare systems in Saudi Arabia that have implemented LMS and LSS.
Select a department to pilot the implementation of LMS and LSS. Determine what information you need from the staff to make the implementation of LMS and LSS successful. Provide two examples of a strategy to collect this information.
Your PowerPoint should meet the following requirements:
Be 10-12 slides in length, not including the title or reference slides.
Be formatted according to Saudi Electronic University and APA writing guidelines.
Provide support for your statements with citations from a minimum of six scholarly articles. These citations should be listed in the Notes section of the slide in which they appear. Two of these sources may be from the class readings, textbook, or lectures, but four must be external.
Each slide must provide detailed speaker’s notes to support the slide content. These should be a minimum of 100 words long (per slide) and must be a part of the presentation. The presentation cannot be submitted in PDF format, which does not make notes visible to the instructor. Notes must draw from and cite relevant reference materials.

Seven Ways to Improve Your Health and Well-being
Good health is a top priority in life – it’s our swadharma, our duty towards ourselves. When we’re healthy, we’re less likely to experience the miseries of sickness and pain. Maharshi Patanjali advises, “Hayam dukkamanagatam.” In other words, prevention is better than cure. Here are seven ways to improve your health and well-being:
Exercise regularly
Eat a balanced diet including plenty of fruits and veggies
Get enough sleep
Stay hydrated
Practice stress-reducing activities like yoga or meditation
Engage in regular health screenings and check-ups
Participate in selfless voluntary activities
By involving yourself in regular voluntary work, such as helping the elderly, cooking for someone who is sick or teaching underprivileged children, you can develop empathy for other people and become a better person. Follow these seven ways and discover a better and fitter version of yourself.
