#n660rn M4 the Transitional Care Model can improve health outcomes, decrease hospitalizations, and decrease healthcare costs for vulnerable populations with multiple chronic conditions such as diabetes and COPD.

Care coordination benefits medically complex children and their caregivers by improving patient care while reducing healthcare costs. The Advancing Care for Exceptional Kids Act will enhance care by reducing unnecessary procedures and hospitalizations #ACEKidsAct #660rn

#n545rn @prof_jstein I plan to use my skills and knowledge as a nurse leader to influence policy for providing the best care to patients in the emergency department, and support policy to decrease violence against healthcare workers in the ED. M7

[Jessica McDorman @jessmcd20]

#n545rn @prof_jstein The current fee for service model in the emergency department is inadequate as it rewards the volume of care, not the appropriateness or quality of care provided. More research is needed to find a more suitable payment program. M6

#n545rn PDMPs are crucial in the fight against drug abuse, states that adopted these programs saw decreases in overdoses. Ex: In Florida, oxycodone related deaths decreased by 50% from 2010 to 2012. M4 @prof_jstein

#N545rn @prof_jstein The problem I have selected is prescription drug abuse, an epidemic which persists despite state and federal regulations aimed at combating this issue. M2.
