Competency

Apply the principles of therapeutic communication that facilitate interactions between clients and healthcare providers.

Scenario

Due to an epidemic of strep throat that has recently occurred in the community that Rassy Medical Center serves, the clinic has been forced to open earlier and close later to accommodate that amount of patients that have needed to be seen. The clinic is attempting to assist all of their patients promptly and efficiently, but the long hours have taken a toll on the staff in spite of sending informational voice messages to the patients regarding the epidemic.

The fields of medicine and technology have increasingly paired up to present medical issues via social media. This may help to communicate this issue to the patients and the community.

Instructions

Create a series of social media posts to present the strep throat epidemic to the community. Include images (where appropriate) and text that will clearly and effectively communicate the infectious spread of the strep throat bacteria. The details of the actual announcement are yours to decide. These posts will not be live posts and should be created and submitted in a Word document, PowerPoint presentation, or PDF file.

Be sure to include the following:

• 2 Facebook posts
• 2 Instagram posts
• 2 Tweets (Twitter)
• Preventable health measures
• When to make an appointment with a healthcare provider

Grading Rubric

Step 1: Determine the Facts
I recommend presenting these facts concisely in point form

Step 2: Ethical Issues

Please make sure you use of AT LEAST 3 ethical vectors (‘Right vs Wrong, Fair vs Unfair, Good vs Bad, Just v Unjust, etc.’ – Professor Campbell showed you a list of these vectors during the first class)

Step 3: Stakeholders

• Identify AT LEAST 5 stakeholders (give me 1 or 2 points on how they might stand to gain or lose from the issue)
  • My recommendation: present stakeholders in a table form with 2 columns

    • Stakeholder	How they might be affected
      ABC	+/-

• State your bias: You can draw the bias regarding how you feel about the issue due to your own moral compass etc.

Step 4: Delineate (and/or Create) Alternative Courses of Action

• 2 different ALTERNATIVE courses of action:
  My recommendation: Do something, or do nothing
• PLUS, 1 more ‘Wild’ scenario; label it as ‘Wild’ Scenario:
  NOTE: ‘wild’ scenario, in this case, is a scenario that is ‘out of the box’ ALTERNATIVE course of action.
  
• EXTRA NOTE: Do not provide what actually happened as it is not an ALTERNATIVE course of action.
  

Step 5: Assess how Alternatives Affect Stakeholders

• Evaluate your 2 ALTERNATIVE courses of action and follow what is said in the decision model
• If you want, go ahead and assess the ‘wild’ scenario (if you can, and if time allows)
• AND declare your ‘conflict of interest’

Step 6: Guidance Sources

• You do not have to reach out to these people to ask for guidance
• Think of yourself as the CEO of the company that you are describing: who would you seek help from?
  Here are some examples:
• Industry experts, this could mean business consultants, public relations firms, etc.
• In addition, please also state “WHY” you are asking these parties
• NOTE: You do not have to give me “what they would say”
  

Step 7: Make a Decision; Monitor the Outcome

• Either:
  • Make a decision based on one of your alternative courses of action (or two or more)
  • OR talk about what happened in real life and why it is working or not; make sure you elaborate to support your case

Also, please note:

• Always remember to cite your sources. Business Efficient style is ALSO treated with “academic” standards; size 12 font, 1-inch margin, proper citations

Assignment Overview

According to Chambers and Bonk (2013), social policies and programs are meant to serve categories or groups of people rather than individuals. Social workers must keep in mind the needs of the client or consumer while also considering the community context or the social environment. Public policies and programs may serve groups of individuals or communities, but it is inevitable that some individuals’ needs cannot be met on occasion. Given this reality, social workers may need to seek solutions for their clients outside of the existing program or policy structure. This requires knowledge of the current program or policy status, the ability to assess the programs’ and policies’ effectiveness, and inspire resourcefulness to steer clients in the right direction (Chambers & Bonk, 2013).

By successfully completing this assignment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following competencies and behaviors:

• Competency 1: Demonstrate Ethical and Professional Behavior.
  • C1.GP.B: Use reflection and self-regulation to manage personal values and maintain professionalism in practice situations.
    • Related Assignment Criteria:
      • 1. Describe personal experience with policy and program planning and evaluation.
• Competency 3: Advance Human Rights and Social, Economic, and Environmental Justice.
  • C3.GP.A: Apply their understanding of social, economic, and environmental justice to advocate for human rights at the individual and system levels.
    • Related Assignment Criteria:
      • 3. Explain specific discriminatory issues in a given policy or program.
• Competency 5: Engage in Policy Practice.
  • C5.GP.C: Apply critical thinking to analyze, formulate, and advocate for policies that advance human rights and social, economic, and environmental justice.
    • Related Assignment Criteria:
      • 4. Address identified discriminatory issues to advocate for policies that advance social well-being.

Assignment Description

This assignment involves the application of Chambers and Bonk’s (2013) contention that all social programs and policies are created to meet three criteria: adequacy, equity, and efficiency (p. 2). As a social worker, you will spend a great deal of time working within the social program or policy context. In other words, you will work in the agencies created by policies, implement the programs offered by the agencies, and have direct contact with those who are served by the programs and policies. Social workers must be concerned about these policies and programs, both their weaknesses and strengths, if social workers are to uphold our professional ethical standards.

Assignment Instructions

For the first assignment for this course, compose a written document that contains the following:

• A description and assessment of your past experiences with policy and program planning, either your experience making policy or experience with a policy that someone else made.
  • Reflect on your past professional involvement with policy or program planning and evaluation either in the human services field or elsewhere. If you do have some knowledge and experience in this regard, please describe it. What kind of policy or program were you concerned with? What was the degree of your involvement and the level of knowledge you had at that time regarding social policy and program planning?
• The selection and explanation of a program or policy that oppresses, alienates, or discriminates, informed by personal experience or information found via the Internet or the Capella Library.
• Strategies for policy or program changes that aim to empower or create privilege.
