Sometimes the best medical therapy is none at all. Preventative medicine is the specialty that aims to keep patients healthy and avoid diseases instead of just treating them. Some elements of preventative medicine are early screenings for different conditions, vaccinations, regular physicals, prostate exams, colonoscopies, mammograms, etc.
What conditions do you think are preventable, and what could you do to help prevent them?
What screenings would you be able to offer as a medical assistant for these conditions?

Summary:
• Provide a concise summary of the case, outlining the key events, parties involved, and the central legal and ethical issues at hand.
Legal Description:
• Include a detailed legal analysis, incorporating relevant laws and legal precedents. Write the law in its legal citation format. For example, if discussing a statute, include its full citation (e.g., Title, Section, and Act number).
Application of Ethical Principles:

Remember to support your analysis with evidence from the case and relevant literature, and ensure clarity and coherence in your presentation. This analysis will help deepen your understanding of legal and ethical complexities in healthcare administration and prepare you for real-world challenges in the field.

explanation of the transformation of sugical technologists and sepsis care comparing the last decade and the advancements made. connecting advancemnts in sterile technique and safer more complex surgeries.  in APA 7th edition  

Objective
The purpose of the case study is to allow you to analyze information retained over the duration of the sterile processing program and apply that knowledge obtained to provide specific solutions to common issues that may occur within the sterile processing department.
Instructions
Choose two of the four topics listed below:
Decontamination Principles
Sterilization Methods
Preparation of Medical Equipment and Supplies
Inventory Control and Distribution Systems
Once the two case studies are chosen, answer the questions using your own vocabulary and address the conflicts or issues with solutions specific to your topics of choice. You will utilize your text or other credible sources from the internet to build a thorough paper that contains at least eight main ideas with supporting details regarding the topic chosen and a minimum of three credible references. The paper must be written in APA format with a title page, introduction, body, conclusion, and reference page. Please refer to the rubric regarding specific grading criteria.
Case Study Scenarios
1. Decontamination Principles:
Dr. Sarmiento is a well-known neurosurgeon at Baptist Medical Center. He is known for working on complex cases that involve the spine and other neurological tissues. This past week, his private scrub tech has discovered that dirty neurological instruments have made it into the OR. The technician consults with the patient care manager of surgical services because the incident has been reoccurring over the past few months. With this knowledge, respond to the following questions:
What issue(s) have occurred, and what may be the cause of these errors?
What other additional considerations may the sterile processing tech need to take with instruments exposed to neurological tissues?
What might the sterile processing department have to do to resolve this issue?
Thoroughly explain the decontamination process. What steps should take place in the OR? In SPD? Why is cleaning considered the cornerstone of instrument processing?
2. Sterilization Methods:
Kristine, a technician in the sterile processing department, has noticed that after the sterilization of surgical equipment and supplies that at least two out of every four loads sterilized for the day have been moist. She has consulted with her supervisor on effective ways in which she could troubleshoot the concerns with wet loads because it has now affected the department’s work efficiency and quality control.
Define a wet pack.
Define a wet load.
Why might the loads be wet? Provide at least three unique causes.
What solutions can Kristine apply to ensure that the processed instrument sets aren’t wet?
Discuss how this issue can affect both the operating room and the sterile processing department. How should Kristine handle the wet packages to ensure quality control?
3. Preparation of Medical Equipment and Supplies:
Over the last month, the operating room has received rigid containers without filters, assembled instrumentation such as Poole suction devices in sterilized sets, and closed instruments within the sterile instrument sets.
Discuss in detail how each issue listed above can impact safe and efficient patient care.
Discuss the instrument inspection, assembly, and packaging processes.
What can the sterile processing technician do to ensure that all items are prepared and packaged correctly?
How does this situation impact the operating room staff?
4. Inventory Control and Distribution:
The sterile processing department at Hershey-Chocolate Medical Center has an excessive amount of inventory. Management has decided to restructure the inventory system used in their facility and has asked you to research at minimum four different inventory systems that may help with the safe and efficient distribution of medical supplies and are also cost-effective.
What inventory system may work well for their department? Discuss at least four types of inventory systems and how each could initiate a more controlled environment of inventory for the facility.
How can distribution be affected by excessive inventory?

The final capstone project is a series of written research-based assignments completed throughout this course that culminate in a final evidenced-Based Proposal paper and presentation. Students are encouraged to share their completed proposals with a health care organization that could benefit from the proposal. For this fourth assignment, you will present the proposed solution for your evidence-based intervention and outline the implementation and evaluation plan.
Proposal
In 100-250 words, present a detailed explanation of your proposed solution (new policy, process, procedure, or education that addresses the problem or issue you identified for your project). Include rationale for why you selected proposed solution. The proposed solution should be based on the support indicated in the literature review.
Preparing an Implementation Plan
Develop an implementation plan (500-750 words). The elements that should be included in your plan are listed below:
Strategies for obtaining necessary approval(s) and securing support from your organization’s leadership and fellow staff. If you are proposing a change in current policy, process, or procedure, first describe the current policy, process, or procedure as a baseline for comparison.
Description of implementation. (When and how will the change be integrated into the current organizational structure, culture, and workflow? Who will be responsible for initiating the change, educating staff, and overseeing the implementation process?)
Resources required for implementation: stakeholders; assessment tools (questionnaires, surveys, pretests and posttests to assess knowledge of participants at baseline and after intervention); technology (technological or software needs); funds (cost of educating staff, printing or producing educational materials, gathering and analyzing data before, during, and following implementation); and staff to initiate, oversee, and evaluate change.
Evaluation Plan
Prepare an evaluation plan (500-750 words) supported by your critical analysis of the literature.
Discuss methods to evaluate the effectiveness of your proposed solution.
Describe what your projected outcomes will be and what variables will be assessed.
