Write a 4-6-page analysis of a current problem or issue in health care, including a proposed solution and possible ethical implications.

Introduction
In your health care career, you will be confronted with many problems that demand a solution. By using research skills, you can learn what others are doing and saying about similar problems. Then you can analyze the problem and the people and systems it affects. You can examine potential solutions and their ramifications. This assessment allows you to practice this approach with a real-world problem.

Demonstration of Proficiency
By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the course competencies through the following assessment scoring guide criteria:

Competency 1: Apply information literacy and library research skills to obtain scholarly information in the field of health care.
Use scholarly information to describe and explain a health care problem or issue and identify possible causes for it.
Competency 2: Apply scholarly information through critical thinking to solve problems in the field of health care.
Analyze a health care problem or issue by describing the context, explaining why it is important and identifying populations affected by it.
Discuss potential solutions for a health care problem or issue and describe what would be required to implement a solution.
Competency 3: Apply ethical principles and academic standards to the study of health care.
Analyze the ethical implications if a potential solution to a health care problem or issue was implemented.
Competency 4: Write for a specific audience, in appropriate tone and style, in accordance with Capella’s writing standards.
Write clearly and logically, with correct use of spelling, grammar, punctuation, and mechanics.
Write following APA style for in-text citations, quotes, and references.
Instructions
Note: The requirements outlined below correspond to the grading criteria in the scoring guide. At a minimum, be sure to address each point. In addition, you are encouraged to review the performance-level descriptions for each criterion to see how your work will be assessed.

Describe the health care problem or issue you selected for use in Assessment 2 (from the Assessment Topic Areas | Transcript media piece) and provide details about it.
Explore your chosen topic. For this, you should use the first four steps of the Socratic Problem-Solving Approach to aid your critical thinking. This approach was introduced in Assessment 2.
Identify possible causes for the problem or issue.
Use scholarly information to describe and explain the health care problem or issue and identify possible causes for it.
Identify at least three scholarly or academic peer-reviewed journal articles about the topic.
You may find the How Do I Find Peer-Reviewed Articles? library guide helpful in locating appropriate references.
You may use articles you found while working on Assessment 2 or you may search the Capella library for other articles.
You may find the applicable Undergraduate Library Research Guide helpful in your search.
Review the Think Critically About Source Quality to help you complete the following:
Assess the credibility of the information sources.
Assess the relevance of the information sources.
Analyze the health care problem or issue.
Describe the setting or context for the problems or issues.
Describe why the problem or issue is important to you.
Identify groups of people affected by the problem or issue.
Provide examples that support your analysis of the problem or issue.
Discuss potential solutions for the health care problem or issue.
Describe what would be required to implement a solution.
Describe potential consequences of ignoring the problem or issue class=”ice-no-decoration” data-ice-class=”848587″>.
Provide the pros and cons for one of the solutions you are proposing.
Analyze the ethical implications if the potential solution (the one for which you provide pros and cons) were to be implemented.
Provide examples from the literature to support the points you are making.
Discuss the pros and cons of implementing the proposed solution from an ethical principle point of view.
Describe what would be required to implement the proposed solution.
Example Assessment: You may use the following to give you an idea of what a Proficient or higher rating on the scoring guide would look like:

 

Sample Solution

Many healthcare systems the world over are moderated by information asymmetry experienced by patients, healthcare providers, and other stakeholders as the information they need to make decisions about what works best for them is not readily available. However, with recent efforts such as those by the National Committee on Quality Assurance on health plans’ quality transparency on transparency of providers’ clinical quality and cost efficiency, attempts to bridge the gaps in information asymmetry have accelerated. Transparency—of the costs, prices, quality, and effectiveness of medical services and products—has been identified as a key tool to lower costs and improve outcomes (Fung et al., 2018). In this series of discussions, the presenters address the potential of transparency on a variety of facets of the delivery system—including cost, quality, and outcomes—to illuminate vital information for consumers, providers, and payers and stimulate savings and quality improvements.

for a little over seven years (McGee et al., 1983). One of the participants was fifteen years old, and the other participant was twelve years old (McGee et al., 1983). Incidental teaching occurred daily in the kitchen for a 45-minute session in the kitchen during preparation for lunches (McGee et al., 1983). The teacher would ask the student, “Are you ready to make sandwiches?” or a similar question to inquire readiness (McGee et al., 1983). When the child looked at the teacher without any off task or self-stimulatory behavior, the teaching procedure was initiated and the incidental teaching began (McGee et al., 1983). There was also generalization in the study across settings, just as standard incidental teaching, but only modified to aid the severe deficits in the children. The results yielded benefits that are similar to that of standard incidental teaching procedures because if the rapid acquisition and the promotion of generalization (McGee et al., 1983).

At times it is difficult to use prompts when teaching children with ASD new skills because they can be prompt dependent; however, it is difficult to not use any prompts because they are needed to teach the skill. Incidental teaching is a procedure, which aids the children to learn the skills in a natural environment, but there also isn’t a need for continual prompts (Hart and Risley, 1975). McGee et al. (1999) showed that incidental teaching generates less prompt dependency because the teacher prompts them to elaborate on that initiation, rather than starting with a word that was chosen randomly by the teacher that does not hold the child’s interest. It is important to have at least a prompt level system in placed in order to maintain a procedure that is not prompt dependent (McGee et al., 1986). Incidental teaching also g
