Criminal penalties for Anti-Kickback Statute apply to those who offer remuneration as well as the recipients. Physicians who pay or accept kickbacks face penalties of up to $50,000 per kickback plus three times the amount of the remuneration. #NUR4108 #W13#LD

Dr. Campbell, patient-to-nurse ratios have been shown to influence health-care outcomes, but many states, including Florida, lack enforceable policies to promote safer practices. Hospital leadership is doing nothing to help. How can we express our concerns for change? #NUR4108LC

For my selected policy technology helps in dissemination of its used, as well as providing education through regular CEU’s. #NUR4108 #W11 #ldnont

The priority impacting nursing practice is “The Nurse Overtime and Patient Safety Act”. Nurses who work overtime have strong associations with adverse outcomes. I can contact my state representative David Silvers by email or by phone in favor of this bill. #NUR4108 #W9 #LD

The determinant of health that I chose is environmental health. Primary focus is to reduce people’s exposure to harmful pollutants (air, water). Nurses can advocate at the state and federal level to ensure vulnerable communities have this basic human right. #NUR4108 #W8 #LD

To address the issue, as a manager I would assess the staff’s knowledge about the policy and ask them to identify the stem of the challenge. Finally, I would ask them for suggestions and incorporate their ideas into a process for improvement. #NUR4108 #M3W7 #LD

The purpose of the proposed bills were to grant APRNs ability to practice autonomously. Positive outcomes would be multiplied access to healthcare and cost-efficient services.

The Intervention Project for Nurses (IPN) was established in 1983 through passage of legislation for impaired nurses; there has been no other revisions. #NUR4108 #W4

The purpose of this report is to reduce medical errors and improve patient safety. Having a network of patient safety database (NPSD) will help providers with the reporting of various incidents. The positive impact will be recognizing trends and error prevention. #NUR4108 #W3

An interesting fact about AUPHA is that it is the only non-profit entity of its kind that works to improve the delivery of health services – Its faculty and individual members represent more than 300 colleges and universities. #NUR4108 #W2

A policy in healthcare that interests me is patient safety particularly medical errors. It was just reported that nearly 1 in 4 patients who are admitted to hospitals in the U.S. will experience harm, according to a New England Journal of Medicine. #NUR4108 #W1
