Re: Topic 5 DQ 1
The Mayo Clinic remains one of the more innovative models of care to date. In response to the rapidly changing healthcare scene, the Mayo Clinic launched their Mayo Clinic Care Network (MCCN) in 2011 (Wald et al., 2018) and it has only continued to grow. The Mayo Clinic is considered innovative due to their formal and widespread use of collaboration that spans continents (Wald et al., 2018). As of 2017, the MCCN had 45 partners, spanning across 35 US states and including the Philippines, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Singapore, and the United Arab Emirates (Wald et al., 2018). International locations is not what makes the MCCN innovative, however. It is considered innovative because providers and healthcare teams can collaborate globally on a case, enabling an MCCN physician to utilize their best resources anywhere in the world.
Providers can eConsult an expert for a case without physically relocating the expert or forcing the patient to seek care elsewhere (Wald et al., 2018). Providers can also participate in eBoards, which bring together experts from across the MCCN to discuss specific cases on a larger scale (Wald et al., 2018). The Ask Mayo Expert feature puts Mayo Clinic expertise in the hands of patients via the internet, allowing them to obtain reliable information when and where they need it (Wald et al., 2018). The cost of travel alone is nearly eliminated by using technology to connect teams and patients. All of these components combine to form a large network of highly collaborative experts with mobilized resources, enhancing the ability to provide cutting-edge care when and where the patient requires it the most.

Hello
I do agree with you that among one of the healthcare organizations that have successfully incorporated innovations in technology to increase collaboration is Mayo Clinic. This giant healthcare system has well established networks in over 140 countries and 50 states in the US. This extensive coverage with an annual patient load going to over one million, it calls on improved technological innovations that promote timely and effective care to the patients. Among the 65,000 employers of the clinic, there are various specialties that work in multidisciplinary team’s collaboration approach to deliver quality care. Dr. William. J. Mayo, the founder of the organization, had the greater vision on how clinical collaboration would be the most efficient and effective way to deliver quality and timely care to the patients (Taberna et al., 2020). “The best interest of the patient is the only interest to be considered, and in order that the sick may have the benefit of advancing knowledge, union of forces is necessary.” — Dr. William J. Mayo, 1910 (“Mayo Clinic Care Network – About Us – Mayo Clinic, 2019”).

Tasks
CLC – When Patient Advocacy Meets Policy: Lobbying for Health Care Change Presentation
Description:
This is a Collaborative Learning Community (CLC) assignment.
As an advanced registered nurse leader, you have an opportunity to be a catalyst for change and lend your voice to important health care issues. One of the ways you can do this is through lobbying and engaging with the legislative process as both participant and patient advocate.
In this assignment, you will work in a group to identify a current health care legislative issue and prepare a PowerPoint presentation with slide notes. This health care issue can impact your role, the setting, the scope of practice, or the population in the community you serve. Refer to the website of your state legislature to research current legislative issues and identify appropriate steps.
Include the following in a 12-15 slide PowerPoint submission:
A description of the health care issue, and how it relates to your role, setting, scope of practice, or community population.
A description of the proposed legislation and your group’s stance on whether it should be passed.
Methods to track a bill and participate in lobbying efforts.
An outline of lobbying remarks, appropriate for the target audience, bill’s intent, and goal of supporting or not supporting its passage.
Implications if lobbying efforts do not succeed.
Make sure to include slide notes of 100-250 words for each slide.
You are required to cite three to five sources to complete this assignment. Sources must be published within the last 5 years and appropriate for the assignment criteria and nursing content.
The legislative process should always be characterized by resilience and a thorough understanding of concepts and processes. When policymakers challenge barriers rather than avoiding them, they are effectively resisted and overcome. A good example is when nurses or other policy promoters use their professional knowledge and understanding of concepts to persuade people with opposing viewpoints to change their minds. Reconciliation is essential for reaching a consensus that benefits patients, nurses, and the health care system as a whole. According to Safari et al. (2020), nurses involved in health and legislative policies should not participate in health policy-making activities at a moderate level. As a result, they must understand the legislative process and act correctly while overcoming all obstacles. Approaching situations with an open mind is also recommended to reduce the likelihood of conflict.
In any case, the legislative process faces numerous challenges, depending on the policy and advocacy team. Nurses must be mentally and physically prepared to deal with a wide range of challenges. Resilience is required, as is a thorough understanding of the legislative and policymaking processes.
You must ensure that your paper is free of errors. Do not, however, put all of your trust in the grammar and spelling checkers that come pre-installed on your computer; doing so demonstrates a lack of effort on your part, and your grade will reflect this. Papers with a high number of grammatical and spelling errors will receive a lower grade. Before submitting your paper, go over it carefully, first by yourself and then aloud, and make any necessary changes. It is often advantageous to have a close friend review your paper and point out any obvious flaws. It is preferable to have handwritten corrections rather than uncorrected errors.
Large type, large margins, large indentations, triple spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), or any other similar attempt to “pad” a paper to make it longer is unacceptable. This is not only a waste of trees, but it will also not fool your instructor.
