The only exception is for circumstances that are outlined on the Course Information Sheet (i.e. death of an immediate family member where you must travel to attend the funeral or illness that includes a medical note).As noted on your detailed course syllabus, your individual assignment(s) are based on your own personal experience and insightful knowledge, and not to be shared with other students. This is also noted on each of the individual assignments. Therefore, any time you hand in an assignment with your name on it, it is presumed to have been created entirely by you unless you indicate otherwise. In other words, you are to provide a citation indicating the information is from another source. In addition, any content you did not create yourself (i.e., ideas, information, data graphics, etc.) must be cited using APA, 7th ed. Resources re: APA 7th ed. are posted under the tab APA resources in FOL. Detailed Assignment Instructions: It has been communicated that much of what is carried on in your experience at Fanshawe will carry forward to your success in the real world (e.g. as health information managers). The poster/advertisement assignment is designed to challenge students to create a visual, informational poster using an 8 x 11 paper in WORD. Fonts: 16 for titles; Fonts: 12 for information as it relates to understanding how to reduce surgical wait list during a pandemic. Unfortunately, wait times have been impacted by reduced service delivery during the COVID-19 pandemic. Under the Chief Medical Officer of Healths Directive #2, health service providers and health service organizations including hospitals were directed to. For this assignment you will research using relevant Canadian journal articles and develop a training policy poster that is aimed to collaborate with all staff that work within a southwest regional hospital to reduce surgical wait list times. Wiseman et al. (2020) purports that to reduce the significant impact on patients health outcomes, it is imperative to receive surgeon input, have effective leadership, and work collaboratively across all staff divisions during the strategy development, implementation and management of surgical wait lists. However, there still remains ideas how this strategy would be developed. Therefore, your poster is focused on hospital staff aimed at reducing surgical wait list for elective surgeries and non-emergency procedures (i.e. southwest hospital). Using key subheadings (in other words, please do not write out your questions/components); Your poster must include reliable research and answer the following key questions/components: 1. Create a synthesis of how the covid-19 pandemic has had an impact on surgical elective wait list (define elective surgery) - Outline factors/rationale that have contributed to the wait lists? Identify the risks this has had on specific patient populations. Evaluate what hospitals can do to ensure the safety and health outcomes of patients waiting for elective and non-emergency surgeries. 2. What are the key priorities hospitals should focus on to reduce surgical wait list times? What are the key factors and financial accountability priorities which hospitals should consider for patients waiting for elective and non-emergency surgeries (i.e. cancer surgery)? Remember people, processes and structures when answering this question. 3. Identify what information or support may be offered to patients while they wait for their surgery? What concerns might patients while their surgery is postponed and what can hospital do to assure the patient and their family their health remains a priority? Provide justification/rationale that your recommendation to the family model is the best going forward. 4. Design a checks and balances surgical priority framework which hospitals may use to reduce surgical wait lists for elective and non-emergency surgeries. Important checklist: i. Ensure you have answered all the questions being asked on your poster and to spell check your poster. These questions are outlined on your final assignment instructions. When answering each question, ensure you are providing APA in-text citation for all detailed information. Be creative and use visuals and symbols, clip art etc... ii. It is important that you NOT write out the questions as this will result in clutter. Instead use key headers that summarize what you are answering. iii. Please use the rubric as your guide as this will be used to assess your grade. iv. You can respond in bullet points but ensure that your grammar is correct. v. Follow APA documentation. Use only Canadian references for the data integrity poster. This will help you score points for relevancy. vi. Ensure your poster has visuals and not cluttered. vii. Ensure that your poster be uploaded via PPT or WORD as it will be going through the Turn-itIn to check for plagiarism. I will NOT accept PDF\'s for any assignment. Remember for this assignment, please only use Canadian context. US context is not relevant or consistent with Canadian healthcare system All the best!
