Reply to the two post with two references on eachVarious databases provide reliable and valid information to the researcher depending on their topic of interest. I logged into the Walden University library, clicked on databases, changed the subject to nursing, and on searching, I accessed 15 databases. Out of these, I used the ProQuest Nursing and Health database to retrieve the article of interest. I selected two articles; the first source was titled Reflective Practice Groups in a Mental Health Inpatient Setting by Fenton and Kidd (Fenton & Kidd, 2019). This article explores the nursing staff’s experiences in a mental rehabilitation facility and participation in various reflective practice groups (RPGs). The second article was titled Challenges Faced by New Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner Prescribers by Mangano and other researchers. This resource identifies challenges new psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner students encounter, including making decisions, adherence to medication treatment and observing symptom-related outcomes (Mangano et al., 2020). ProQuest Nursing and Health database provides reliable information for healthcare researchers on diverse healthcare topics. The resources on this platform are a perfect choice for people preparing for a career as healthcare providers, teaching patients and communities about healthcare, and participating in nursing research. The content allows the beneficiaries to connect theoretical and practical aspects, thus understanding healthcare from multiple perspectives.The database was a helpful platform for finding relevant articles. However, I faced various challenges during the search process. Firstly, locating the appropriate database with the relevant article was challenging. There were 15 databases, and I had to scroll through multiple databases before identifying ProQuest Nursing and Health database. This process can be confusing, particularly to beginners, who might face challenges navigating through available databases. It was challenging to select this database as I searched others like the CINAHL and Cochrane library before settling on it. This process is time-consuming; thus, the researcher must plan well for this search. Secondly, finding the relevant articles after entering the search terms was also challenging. Therefore, I filtered out my search words to narrow the search and display various articles in the database.ProQuest database would be instrumental to my colleagues. It contains substantial, valuable, and valid information that healthcare professionals can use to advance their knowledge and inform various evidence-based practices. My colleagues can use this database to conduct their research and find answers to different clinical questions and analyses. This database will facilitate research, provide valid literature for class discussion and clinical case studies, and help them connect theories to practice(ProQuest, 2022). These applications would make learning manageable and enjoyable, as information would be readily available. The articles on this platform are also affordable, making them easily accessible and available for students. However, learners must be careful when searching for the articles and the search terms they use. They should select precise terms and diversify their search to find multiple articles. Therefore, this database will help promote learning and knowledge acquisition.I would recommend this database to my colleagues because of its quality of articles. This platform has professional and peer-reviewed articles on various topics that my colleagues can compare and analyze during research. The articles also range in publication dates; hence, researchers can access old and new information. Researchers can use the old articles to compare with the latest advancements and explain the changes in research patterns and scientific topics. I know that my colleagues will enjoy the experience of exploring this database due to its diverse content. Notably, most of its articles are free, making them available and easily accessible. Students can access these articles on their laptops, and download them to study and analyze later. They can also share these articles, making the process of reviewing and discussing them easier in person or in groups. Overall, this database is instrumental in research due to the quality and up-to-date articles on various clinical research topics.ReferencesFenton, K., & Kidd, K. (2019).

Nursing. https://about.proquest.com/en/subjects/health-medicine/nursing/second replyI am pursuing my Master’s degree as a mental health nurse practitioner. I will research literature throughout this program to advance my knowledge and write quality, evidence-based research. “Journal articles that are peer-reviewed give merit to research and assist with ensuring information is trustworthy”. (Al-Jundi, 2017). As I continue to grow in this class, I am improving at using the APA format as my primary form of writing. I am also continuing to learn how to navigate through Walden’s library and databases, using this to my advantage to widen my knowledge.To start my search, I always log in to Walden’s library, home to 172 databases, including writings and videos. Searching through the many databases Walden’s library offers, I came across many related to psychiatry, psychology, and nursing; among infinite topics. The database I used this time is named Psychology Databases Combined Search. I believe this database will be beneficial to my colleagues because it has access to quality, evidence-based, peer-reviewed literature.A benefit of this database in specific is it combines research from multiple other databases. Using this database allows you to access four different databases: PsycARTICLES, PsycBOOKS, PsycEXTRA, and PsycINFO. This database is also beneficial because it will enable you to minimize your search by allowing you to edit your search options. Some of the search options available include, although are not limited to, publication year, document type, publisher, etc. The only difficulty I can name in using this database is when trying to access the full article; although it takes me to Walden’s library, it goes through several steps to the central theme. The way I see this problem is that through Walden’s library, I can go directly to the article, and through this database, just like with most others, I have to go through several steps to get the same result.Practice characteristics of nurse practitioners in mental health and psychiatric settings is a peered-reviewed article I could find through this database. As I stated earlier in this post, my area of practice is nursing, and moving on forward with my career, I plan to become a psychiatry/ mental health nurse practitioner. For this discussion I decided to concentrate on the scope of practice of a psychiatry nurse practitioner. In this article, I found education on the scope of practice, limitations, and responsibilities of these professionals in mental health and psychiatric settings versus those in clinical practice. This article is relevant to me since I am a registered nurse with experience in the intensive care unit studying to become a mental health nurse practitioner. This article compares the world I am used to with the world I want to enter. “Nurse practitioners in mental health and psychiatric settings appear more likely to practice independently, by a few measures: practicing without an on-site physician, having a billing number, and having a DEA number to prescribe controlled substances. However, nurse practitioners in mental health and psychiatric settings had lower odds of having hospital admitting privileges”. (Jones, 2018)References:Al-Jundi, A. (2017).

LECTUREUnit ObjectivesAfter completing this unit, you should be able todefine moral hazard, adverse selection, and cost-shiftingidentify the major public programs for the financing of health carecompare and contrast Medicare and Medicaidlist and describe the four sub-programs of Medicaredescribe different reimbursement approaches for health servicesUnit LectureWhen asked how health care services are paid for, many of us think immediately of health insurance. However, we typically don’t think about the dynamics behind health insurance or the various types of programs through which it is delivered. At its most basic level, health insurance is a tool for mitigating risk. An individual purchases health insurance to mitigate the risk of having to pay an enormous medical bill in the event of sickness or injury.Those who provide health insurance—insurance companies—also work to mitigate risk, albeit from the other side. They attempt to create a risk pool containing a large number of healthy people to offset the expenses accrued by those who do get sick or injured. Premiums, the fees paid for ownership of health insurance, are used to subsidize the cost of the health care provided to those who use the insurance.Factors that insurance companies need to be mindful of include moral hazard, whereby an insured individual is more prone to seek care than if he or she were paying the medical bill him- or herself; and adverse selection, whereby insurance is mainly purchased by those most in need of it. As with any financial enterprise, if the costs of providing the product or service exceed the revenue, the company goes out of business.There are several types of insurance programs, both public and private. Together, these programs cover not only individual health services, but public health services, research, and the administration of the delivery and financing of health care in the United States. The majority of public and private expenditures—approximately 81 percent—are directed toward hospital care, provider and clinical services, long-term care, and prescription drug provision (Kovner & Knickman, 2011).As mentioned in the week 4 lecture, health insurance is a relatively new mechanism for financing health services, and it has grown substantially since the mid-1900s, when only 9 percent of the US population had health insurance (Blumberg & Davidson, 2009). Health insurance can be broken down into private and public insurance.Private health insurance is primarily employment-based, meaning that individuals receive coverage through commercial health insurance plans for which their employers either pay the premiums or subsidize them, with the employee paying the balance.Some larger employers choose to self-insure, which means that they administer their own plans and accept the financial risk of doing so. In essence, they act as the insurer of their employees.Some individuals, either through necessity or choice, opt to purchase their own private insurance coverage through a commercial insurance company or to remain uninsured and accept the risk.Public health insurance is funded by the government and plays a significant role in the health care system. There are several public programs; two of the most prominent are the Medicare program, created through Title 18 of the Social Security Act of 1935 (SSA), and Medicaid, created through Title 19 of the SSA. Both programs are operated by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), a division of the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services (HHS).Medicare is a federally funded program that finances services for people aged 65 and older, people under the age of 65 who have certain disabilities, and people with end-stage renal disease (CMS, 2014). Medicare has four sub-programs: Part A, which covers hospital inpatient services; Part B, which covers provider services and outpatient care; Part C, an optional managed care plan in which beneficiaries can participate; and Part D, which provides prescription drug coverage.Medicaid is jointly funded by the federal government and each state government. Consequently, there is variation within the program from state to state in terms of eligibility and benefits. Although the states have a certain degree of control over the eligibility criteria, federal law mandates that coverage be available to individuals in families with an income below 133 percent of the federal poverty level. The federal government also sets nonfinancial criteria, such as that coverage apply to those enrolled in the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program (CMS, 2014).Some of the federally mandated services provided by Medicaid include inpatient and outpatient services; surgical dental services; nursing facility services for beneficiaries aged 21 and older; and preventive, diagnostic, and treatment services for children. Information on the impact of the ACA on Medicaid eligibility can be found on the Medicaid eligibility website.Medicare and Medicaid are not the only publicly funded health programs. There is the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), which is instrumental in financing health services for uninsured children; the Military Health System (MHS), which provides health services to active-duty and retired members of the uniformed services as well as their dependents; the Veterans Health Administration (VA), which provides care to veterans; and the Indian Health Service (IHS), which provides health services to members of American Indian and Alaska Native tribes and their descendants.Each private and public insurance program has a unique relationship with the health care providers who participate in that program. Each program also has its own methods of determining reimbursement rates for services provided. This week, we’ll discuss not only the basic dynamics of health insurance, but the various types of private and public insurance, the various reimbursement approaches, and some of the ways in which the ACA will impact the financing of health care in the United States.ReferencesBlumberg, A., & Davidson, A.
