why Indigenous people in Australia are still disadvantaged with regard to health/ community services. In the paper, consider a number of cultural issues that impact on acceptance of health and community services—in terms of both historical and contemporary issues in the context of the work you do, or will do.

Then develop, record and explain the strategies that you would follow to engage indigenous communities, elders and individuals in the development and evaluating of service provision. Explain the consultation and negotiation procedures that you would enter into to identify cultural safety requirement and to develop appropriate strategies.

Make a list of the resources that might be required in order to address these issues and explain how the resources you have listed would best be appropriated.

Why is it necessary to ensure greater accountability on the part of funding bodies, government agencies and health/ community providers?

Explain also how:

• awareness of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander history and cultures can be incorporated into work practices
• awareness of how your own cultural realities might impact on your work practices
• workers can develop effective and respectful communication, consultation and negotiation procedures with members of diverse Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people
• people can reflect cultural safety in workplace and professional relationships
• working in partnership with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and communities
• service providers can take cultural issues (including the focus on self-determination) into consideration and increase participation in services
• Indigenous people can be encouraged to participate in evaluating services and negotiating their needs regarding desired outcomes

explain all the points

Question:

The Social, Political, and Safety Environments

 

Pick one of the questions to answer. Copy the question in the answer for reference. Make sure to provide credible supporting evidence for your conclusions and recommendations.  

1. Other than AARP, discuss one public interest group, aging service, or professional organization that you believe has or can have the most influence on political decisions related to LTC? Why do you believe this?

2. Research one public interest group and one professional organization that focus on LTC issues. Determine the three highest-ranking issues on their political agendas. Are their focus areas similar?

3. Laws regulating skilled nursing facilities and assisted living facilities vary by state. However, most states' regulations address emergency and disaster preparedness, fire safety, staff training, medication management, resident privacy, and background checks. Choose two states and research their statutes and regulations regarding LTC facilities. What do the regulations in these states say about one of these issues? Where do you see the greatest differences in regulations? To what do you attribute this?

4. In recent years, we have witnessed unprecedented shifts in societal values, some of which can offer challenges to organizational operations. Watch Gray Gays: Aging as an LGBT adult (5:56). What are two unique challenges facing the elderly GLBT population? How can the typical nursing home or assisted living facility address the unique needs of this population?

5. Select one of the following ethical and legal issues in long term care and comment on the challenges inherent for long term care administrators in effectively responding to them. Select one topic for a residential setting (i.e., assisted living or nursing home) and select a different topic for home and community based care. How can an ethics committee can help a LTC administrator effectively deal with these issues?

a. Discrimination

b. Abuse

c. Privacy

d. Malpractice

e. Wrongful Termination

f. Patient Rights

g. Informed consent

h. Advanced Directives

Question:

The healing of America: A global quest for better, cheaper, and fairer health care.US. Penguin Books

 

1. Describe your own reaction to the book. Was the book satisfying? Did it hold your interest? Answer the question: Did this book actually accomplish what it was supposed to?
2. Provide your recommendation. Would you recommend this book to other readers? Why or why not?
3. If you could pick a health care system for our country, would you keep what we have or model our health care system after another country? If so, which country and why? Which aspects of the health care system do you think would be most popular? Which aspects would be least popular?
4. The book states that many countries pay the full cost of training doctors. Do you think that is a good idea? Why or why not? How likely is it that this could happen in the US? How would you convince politicians and the American public that this is a good idea? How would the government pay for this?
