Dear Intern,

Welcome to my staff.  I am currently trying to get a handle on the problem of medical errors.  There is a lot of talk of passing a new law requiring hospitals to report all serious errors and list the name of the hospital and the physician on the internet.  I know medical errors are a real problem, but I am not sure if this is the best way to deal with them.  I am hoping you can tell me about the significance of medical errors and address the issue of a mandatory policy/law of public reporting of serious medical errors from both a pro and a con position.  I am not a legal scholar, but dont we already have laws in place to deal with medical errors?

Please write me a detailed memo with headings – that addresses the issues as indicated above including pro/con. I would appreciate if you could conclude by giving me your best guess as to whether the medical community would be inclined to support my re-election bid if I were to sponsor a bill.

Describe the background of the situation, including the rationale for and goal(s) of the change.
Identify the key interprofessional stakeholders (both internal and external) that should be involved in change efforts.
Discuss an appropriate change theory or model that could be used to achieve results.
Outline how you would initiate the change.
Describe the impact to the organization if the change initiative is unsuccessful again, and potential steps the interprofessional team could take if the change is unsuccessful.
Make sure to include slide notes of 100-250 words for each slide.

State Strategies

The purpose of this assignment is to familiarize students with health reform strategies adopted by states. Students will select a state health policy reform innovation and describe the rationale, how it was adopted (e.g., federal waivers, passage by state legislature), the funding structure, and (to the extent statistical data are available) its impact. Students should summarize their findings in a 1-2 page, single-spaced memo.

Sample memo attached.  A memo is required, see attached sample.

A few examples of state innovations include Vermonts single payer system, Massachusetts health reforms and Kentuckys Medicaid healthcare program (none of these can be used).

Objective:
Summarize the article from the peer-reviewed literature pertaining to an environmental health exposure and a specific health endpoint (e.g. asthma in children and exposure to diesel exhaust). 

Directions:

Prepare a brief summary of the article using POWERPOINT, including 1-2 slides each for background, study objectives/hypothesis, methods, results and conclusions.  Be sure to provide details on the human population of interest in the study.  Include the exposure assessment method(s) used in the study, and note the strengths and limitations of the method(s) to address the study question.  Limit your presentation to 12 slides.  Include a full citation for the article on the title page of the presentation.

Hint: use tables and figures from the article if needed.  Minimize amount of words on each slide (no long paragraphs).  Try to limit each bullet point to 5 words or less.
