Critical Thinking

/0 Comments/in /by

Question

PART ONE: Which is better for determining the ethical quality of an act: the Motives (what you meant to happen, but may not actually happen), or the Consequences (what actually happens, but you may not mean for them to)?  In other words, is it better to live by principles (like “honesty is the best policy” and be honest all the time, regardless) or is it better to live by outcomes (doing things that cause happiness, like letting kids eat cake and ice cream for breakfast, lunch, and dinner until that doesn’t make them happy anymore, then move on to the next thing)?  Is it always good to do what it seems will produce the greatest happiness for most (not all), or should another approach be found?  Is it always good to live by an inflexible code of conduct?  

PART TWO: In a trolley car emergency–If there were a scientist who would discover a cure for all cancers tied up on one track, and all the family members of everyone in Critical Thinking class tied up on another track, and the trolley was barreling down the track, and it could not be stopped, and it had to proceed on one track where the scientist was tied up, or the other track where the family members were tied up, and you were at the switch to determine which track the trolley would race down, which choice would you make?  Why?

QUESTION

Improving hospital performance requires a multifaceted approach that addresses clinical and business aspects. By enhancing outcomes, reducing costs, optimizing payment structures, and improving the overall patient experience, hospitals can achieve comprehensive improvement. There are clinical solutions such as implementing evidence-based practices, (EBPs) to ensure that clinical interventions are grounded in the best available research. This can lead to improved patient outcomes and safety (Institute of Medicine, 2001). Focusing on patient-centered care involves engaging patients in decision-making, enhancing communication, and considering their preferences thus increasing patient satisfaction (Epstein et al,2010). Another service that contributes to better outcomes and patient satisfaction is telehealth and remote monitoring, implementing telehealth service es and remote monitoring can enhance access to care, reduce hospital readmissions, and improve chronic disease management (Mehrotraet al.,2013). There are also business solutions such as the value-based care model; transitioning to a value-based care model, such as accountable care organizations ( ACOs) or bundle payment systems, aligns financial incentives with improved outcomes, fostering cost-effective and high-quality care (Conrad & Perry, 2009).

In conclusion, the integration of clinical and business solutions is essential for comprehensive hospital improvement. By focusing on evidence-based clinical practices, patient-centered care, value-based business models, and the integration of data analytics and Lean methodologies, hospitals can achieve better patient outcomes, reduce costs, optimize payment structures, and enhance the overall patient experience. Ongoing research and continuous quality improvement efforts are crucial for adapting strategies to the evolving landscape of healthcare.

Topic: “Biden hopes sustainable aviation fuel production could take flight soon”

Podcast link: https://www.marketplace.org/shows/marketplace/bide…

After the ten minute timer goes off, you are allowed to stop writing. You can stop in mid-sentence if

you want to. Or you can complete your thought. That is up to you. Because you will not be pausing to
think about what you are writing, your free-write should end up being 

The rules for free writing are very specific. Once you start writing, you must
keep writing without stopping for the full ten minutes. Your hands must keep writing/typing the entire
time. You are not allowed to pause to think about what you want to say and how you want to say it.
You are not allowed to cross out, delete, or correct anything you have written. Do not worry about
spelling or grammar or typos. Do not worry about whether what you are saying is interesting or correct
or accurate or clever. Your job is to write where your brain takes you in response to the news you
listened to, regardless of whether what you write is academic, related to something you learned in class,
connected to a memory, an opinion, an experience you’ve had with the company, etc. Your job is to just
keep spilling out words that have some connection to the stories just heard. The only constraint is that
you should set an intention that your writing should be a response to the program, not a summary.
