Part I The Trade-Off Analysis In considering healthcare system trade-offs, politics plays a major role. Understanding the strengths and weaknesses of the current Medicaid system in the United States based on individual state policies is important to the political and legal platforms each state faces. As organizations seek to implement HMIS and IT program development, upgrades, and evaluations the organizations must be capable of separating the IT failures, budget overruns, and exogenous changes in enrollment that affect the healthcare system. In a minimum of 250 words, discuss the following: Who is responsible on the state political level to propose legislature to overcome healthcare organizations concerns (trade-off) relating to patient enrollment and budget overruns? What is Georgia’s responsibility in preparation for healthcare change such as the ACA? How do healthcare leaders best integrate pre-existing conditions and long-term illness? Must use at least one scholarly source and document all sources in APA style. Part II Overcoming Public Disinterestedness Understanding the responsibility and concerns of healthcare is important in creating policies that leadership can use to streamline success. If strategic leadership is not realized over time, healthcare organizations’ political influences may face challenges and create public disinterestedness in health policies. These issues create restrictions on the healthcare organization’s ability to meet its financial budget, gain the community’s trust and involvement, and secure political influence(s). This negatively impacts the overall performance of the healthcare organization. The ideas of process innovation, risk-taking, health building analysis, and governance greatly impacts “sense-making” for those being led. These ideas bring understanding to the role of governance in the organization. Review the case study “Australian Surgery Indicator Makes the Front Page” in the attachment and discuss the following questions in a minimum of 250 words: After your review, do the conclusions you draw from the case justify the headline? Why or why not? Discuss the indications found in Table 15-1 and their effect on the health care organizations' efficiency in elective surgery. Evaluate the avoidable rate of canceled surgeries and develop an implementation plan to overcome the concerns. Develop a mini policy to address the issues between the doctors and the organization. Must use at least one scholarly source in addition to the source in the attachment and document all sources in APA style. .

Navigate 2 Scenario for Health Policy Episode 1: Policy Analysis and Development Overview In this episode, you will be in a health care policy internship program in a Senator’s office in Washington, D.C. The Senator wants to develop policy that requires all health care organizations that receive federal funds to implement the recommendations presented in the Institute of Medicine reports on quality care. You will develop a policy, so that it can become proposed legislation. You must collect data, describe the problem, solutions and related ethical issues, examine the cost-benefit analysis, identify stakeholders (such as lobbyists from American Hospital Association, health care providers, health care corporations, pharmaceuticals, insurers, etc.), and impact. Based on this information, you will create a policy description that will be the foundation for a bill. You will describe critical issues that would be in the bill such as requirements of hospitals to: Monitor and report medical errors to the Department of Health and Human Services Use root cause analysis on a certain percentage of errors Track and report patient outcomes focused on the clinical problems identified in the National Health Care Quality Report Integrate the 5 health care profession core competencies into staff education and track outcomes Establish a no-blame culture *I suggest for you to do some research on your own, and if you use outside sources to help your compile your policy description, be sure to reference them (following an APA format) at the end of your post. Assignment You will post a policy description to this discussion board forum. Make sure to identify a plan that addresses legal and ethical issues in a health care policy. You must also respond to 2 of your peers' posts and make sure to reference any outside sources you may have used in your recommendation. Below are the characters from this LearnScapes scenario (LearnScapes for Health Policy 1): The Student (which is you), Health Care Policy Intern for Congress The student used to work within the Bright Road Health Care System, and had a special interest in policy. The student is thinking about moving into politics, hoping to make a difference at that level. The student has just been accepted into the internship; this is the student’s first big project. Peter Shackley, Senior Policy Staff Member The student’s mentor, Peter, is a young and feisty staff member. In his late 20s, Pete has been interested in politics since he was President of his high school student body. He’s especially passionate about policy-making and how the process works. Pete will help guide the student through the policy-making process. Gretchen Wilde, Senator Chief of Staff Gretchen is in her 30s and has been the Senator’s Chief of Staff for about 2 years now.

Healthcare Economics: Final Project Guidelines and Grading Guide Overview The final project for this course is the creation of a mock open comment to a significant federal legislation that has affected healthcare or the healthcare industry. An open comment is an informed opinion written in the form of a letter to counsel authors of legislation on the perceived benefits and consequences of the opinion. You will select a key issue affecting health and healthcare in the United States from the topic areas as defined by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and identify a corresponding health policy addressing that issue. This mock open comment will examine the macroeconomic forces at play in a recent healthcare policy and determine whether any forces were inadequately considered. The mock open comment should be nonpartisan, stakeholder agnostic, and supported by research from reputed sources. The final submission will correspond to the Purdue University method of organization for white papers as indicated on its Online Writing Lab (OWL). The final project will be broken down into three separate components: submission of an executive summary with references, the open comment paper, and a five-minute 'TED Talk-style' presentation. The project is divided into three milestones, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality final submissions. These milestones will be submitted in Modules Two, Four, and Five. The final project will be submitted in Module Seven. In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes: Assess the strategic and operational use of economic principles and indicators to manipulate the healthcare experience for patients and their caregivers Articulate the effects of contemporary policies and regulations on the American healthcare system and the healthcare consumer Describe the impact of prominent financial models in healthcare on the strategies of market players Distinguish the influence of socioeconomic factors of American society on the healthcare delivery system and community health Analyze ways that behavioral models of demanders, suppliers, and other healthcare agencies influence economic determinates and barriers to change in the American healthcare system Prompt After choosing a topic area from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s topic areas, you will create a comment letter addressing the abilities and inabilities of a legislative action to impact the economic forces impacting the issue. The policy you select to evaluate should affect a health topic in which you have an interest or one that affects a population of significance to you. While your submission will center on a pivotal piece of legislation, this is not a policy paper. Focus on how the legislation would affect the key health issue and the macroeconomic forces that produced the issue. The TED Talk-style portion of your project should start by making your au ...

Think about your reaction to the different forms of each resource and what it might mean for you as a learner. Consider how humans use their perspective to understand new experiences by imagining details of a story. Since technology has made it easier to share visual versions, does that impact our need to “see to believe” or influence how easily we understand without a visual? Have you ever had the experience of being given false information about a new situation? Or changing your mind about something with growing evidence? How is a story, a painting, or a song a kind of virtual reality? .

REVIEW both post 100 words each, add more information to the topic if necessary, do them separate APA format, site source, 1. I own a 75 gallon, saltwater fish tank. In that tank we have fish, crabs, shrimp, snails and corals. In order to keep these creatures alive and growing, its important to have the correct lighting, temperature and food source. Zooplankton plays an important role in keeping an aquarium healthy. Zooplankton ; whose name drives from a Greek word meaning "drifter", are small floating organisms that drift around in water current. Corals, mussels and various other filter-feeders eat zooplankton . Zooplankton are eaten by small fish, which are then eaten by bigger fish, as the chain continues. Zooplankton have three major groups; crusacea , rotifers , and protozoas . All play an important role in fresh and saltwater ecosystems. Zooplankton measure between two micrometers and up to 8 inches in length . Some z ooplankton have adapted mechanisms to deter fish from eating then. They have adapted things like transparent bodies, bad tastes, and cyclomorphosis ; which allows them to release chemicals into the water to signal other zooplankton that predators are nearby. Most zooplankton are herbivores and eat phytoplankton and algae. Others species of zooplankton eat the parasites of larger animals, such as fish. Zooplankton are sensitive to temperature changes, oxygen depletion, toxic chemicals, and other environmental issues. Because of this, scientists can use them as first indicators of environmental quality and ecological changes on our planet. Though small, these tiny creatures bridge the gap between algae and bigger organisms. Many of today's creatures in our planets oceans wouldn't grow and/or survive if it weren't for zooplankton . 2. One animal organism that I found interesting was the species of multicellular Nematodes. Nematodes are the most plentiful multicellular animals on the planet. They are everywhere; in soil and on decomposing material, from the cold environments to the tropics, in all plant life, in almost all animals, including humans, and also insects (“Information”, 2016). Nematodes are non- segmented roundworms that possess complete digestive, excretory, nervous and reproductive systems (“Information”, 2016). Most are microscopic. The diversity of nematode forms and territories are incredible: there are more than 15,000 known species, can you imagine that! They infect everything from bugs to whales to humans. Nematodes can take the energy of living organism and cause serious diseases, even kill humans and animals. There are other nematode parasites in humans that are transmitted by eating meat that is not cooked adequately, or through contact with soil or water contaminated with feces, from humans or animals (Hay, 2016). The nematode organism known as” Wuchereria bancrofti ” can cause damages to the lymphatic system and causes debilitating inflammations in different parts .

Revenue Recognition and Operating Income – How does each firm recognize revenue and how does its revenue recognition policies compare to its competitors? Is there evidence of aggressive revenue recognition? Consider the firm’s operating income and how it has been affected by “above the line” items including research and development expenses, restructuring costs, income taxes and foreign currency translation. Consider “below the line” components to income including discontinued operations and extraordinary items. Examine earnings per share and the impact of dilution from new shares (and potential new shares) and the anti-dilution effects of share buy-backs. Finally, consider the “quality of earnings” of your firms. I need the question above answered for Nutrisystems .

Responses for week 4 Post replies to at least two peers before the close date of this discussion. In your replies, consider asking questions of peers about their responses to encourage further conversation. . Respond as if they were parents of a student where you were the special education teacher transition team member. Read the questions that have been asked and answered; taking on the special educator team member role was the answer clearly written for a parent? Add to each answer, keeping a focus on IDEA, providing a more detailed response with additional helpful parent resources. Be sure to explain why you have chosen those particular resources and how parents will find them helpful. Again, though two replies is the basic expectation, for deeper engagement and learning, you are encouraged to provide responses to any comments or questions others have given to you (including the instructor) before the last day of the discussion; this will further the conversation while also giving you opportunities to demonstrate your content expertise, critical thinking, and real world experiences with this topic. This what the teacher wrote to Dear Eliie2121, Apparently you have a challenge with your composition skills. You have good ideas but you are having trouble expressing them. I would suggest that you go to the Writing Center and get some assistance. I am not an English instructor but there are so many errors in your writing that it is my feeling that you need this writing assistance. Even in this email to me there are numerous errors of grammar. I am going to write your question over correctly so that you can see the errors. Please look carefully at the punctuation I have added and the changes. So, in answer to your initial question here, you need to write better and be aware of what you are writing (as I pointed out in my post response to you). So, if I am reading your response to my discussion question, is it not what you wanted me to write or is it that I see things differently on the questions? Please let me know one way or another so that I can make corrections on it.

Response to this discussion post with at least 200 words. Needs refernece to back up response The United States maintains a complex network of law enforcement agencies at the local, state and federal levels. These agencies have varying degrees of specialty and work closely with one another and the courts. Functions performed by the levels of police agencies in the United States run a gamut, from preventing the importation of illegal drugs to ensuring the safety of students at universities. The role of a police agency depends upon its location and jurisdiction. many as 23,000 local and state police agencies exist in the United States as of 2011, depending upon the method of counting them. Types of police agencies under state jurisdiction include local township or city police forces, state police, countrywide sheriff's offices, state highway patrols and constables. The structure and levels of state police agencies differs in each state. Hawaii, for instance, maintains no state police force per Se, but rather a Department of Public Safety. In most states, sheriffs serve as elected officials and act as political liaisons between state governments and police agencies. Various agencies perform specialized police functions at state level. Fish and game wardens, for instance, enforce hunting, fishing, boating laws. According to O'Connor, 35 U.S. states invest independent agencies such as the Department of Criminal Investigations, Department of Motor Vehicles and Alcohol Beverage Control with special, limited powers of law enforcement and investigation. These agencies enforce laws within their jurisdiction, often with the cooperation of other police agencies. Other special divisions of police agencies include K-9 units, which work with police dogs, HAZMAT units, which handle hazardous materials and SWAT, or special tactical units. References Lemieux, F.

Response 1: Systems Perspective and Social Change Read a selection of your colleagues' posts. Respond to at least two colleagues in one of the following ways: Critique your colleague's suggestion about how to apply a systems perspective to Lester Johnson's case. Identify one way that a concept in your colleague's post might contribute towards advocacy and social change. Discuss how you might apply the empowerment and strengths approach to one of the concepts your colleague has presented. Be sure to support your responses with specific references to the resources. If you are using additional articles, be sure to provide full APA-formatted citations for your references. Colleague 1: Julia ‪ When working with clients, there are many factors at play that not only formed the client in their early years, but also influence them now. The factors that influence them now can include: family, living situation, job situation, friends, religious community, etc. These factors can all influence how a social worker can assist in intervening in a client’s life. Each of these factors can also be included in different systems that influence the client (Zastrow and Kirst-Ashman, 2016). Let us take, for example, the case of Lester. Lester was an independent member in his community, church community, and was able to handle his life all by himself. However, after an automobile accident, Lester has done a 180 and can no longer clothe or clean himself (Plummer, Makris, and Brocksen, 2014). This is where systems perspective comes in: what systems in Lester’s life can the social worker use to assist Lester? From the case study, we know that Lester is close with his family, but his sister-in-law has really stepped up to the plate in helping with Lester’s care. Because of Lester’s connections with his religious community, they may be relied on for resources. Lester’s children have not been involved really at all, so they should not be counted on as a system on which Lester can rely (Plummer, Makris, and Brocksen, 2014). Lester will have to have new systems created for him, as he cannot create them for himself anymore. As a social worker, it is crucial to know the systems on which a client can rely. System Theory is a good theory because of its ability to be used with any client. Knowing what resources are available to a client, as well as their interactions with those resources, is key in creating a treatment plan for the client. Plummer, S. -B., Makris, S., & Brocksen, S.

Response 1: The Aging Process Respond to at least two colleague's post in one of the following ways: o From a strength's perspective, critique your colleague's approach to addressing Francine's case. Provide support for your critique. o Critique your colleague's strategy for applying knowledge of the aging process to work with older clients. Discuss how cultural, ethnic, and societal influences might affect the application of this strategy. Be sure to support your responses with specific references to the resources. If you are using additional articles, be sure to provide full APA-formatted citations for your references. Colleague 1:BM As individuals enter the stage of late adulthood, their previous experiences, lifestyle and relationships help determine what, indeed, this stage will entail (Zastrow and Kirst-Ashman, 2016). In this week’s case study, 70- year-old Francine sought counseling for symptoms of depression, directly related to the loss of her partner of thirty years, Joan (Plummer, Makris and Brocksen, 2014). Since Francine’s family and loved ones were unaware of the extent of the the relationship between Francine and Joan, Francine did not have the necessary support as she navigated her way through her grieving process. She started drinking alcohol more often, after several years of sobriety (Plummer, et. al., 2014). It can be assumed that Francine’s relationship with Joan, spanning thirty years, has certainly influenced her aging process. In long-term relationships, such as this one, individuals identify as being half of a partnership, as opposed to their individual beings (Zastrow and Kirst-Ashman, 2016). These defining relationships allow for individuals to feel supported and share experiences throughout their daily lives. This relationship is at the crux of Francine’s being, and although her partner has passed, its value can be utilized to help Francine cope with the loss and navigate through the remainder of her life. Additionally, Francine’s extensive experience within the workforce will also positively contribute to her aging process. Throughout these years, Francine’s interaction with people, both professionally and socially, have helped to promote a healthy inner being. While she may not be feeling sociable after Joan’s passing, referencing her forty year career will be a helpful tool for her clinician. The case study mapped out the positive aspects in Francine’s life beautifully. Despite the depression she is currently experiencing, employing a Strength Based Perspective, focusing on her resiliency, would be an appropriate and effective method to help Francine achieve her most positive outcomes (Zastrow and Kirst-Ashman, 2016). Francine has shown a tremendous capacity throughout her life in identifying and removing the triggers causing harmful behaviors; this awareness resulted in many years of sobriety (Plummer, et. al., 2014). Furthermore, Francine, despite her current depressive state, ha.

Response 1 Social and Emotional Intelligence Respond to at least two colleagues in one of the following ways: o Critique your colleague's analysis of the relationship between social and emotional intelligence and cultural factors. Provide support for your critique. o Critique your colleague's strategy for applying social and emotional intelligence to the case of Andres. Provide support for your critique. o Critique your colleague's suggestion for how to apply an understanding of social and emotional intelligence to social work practice in general. Provide support for your critique. Be sure to support your responses with specific references to the resources. If you are using additional articles, be sure to provide full APA-formatted citations for your references. Colleague 1: T During the time (6 years ago) when Andres was exiting middle adulthood and enter late adulthood, he was transitioning from a period of stability to a period of instability (Plummer, Makris, & Brocksen, 2014). Major changes were ahead that would hit Andres hard. Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs can be used to describe Andres past and present emotional and intellectual state. Prior to Andres diagnosis of a brain tumor and Parkinson’s disease, he achieved all of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. Andres, physiological, safety, belongingness, self-esteem, and self-actualization needs were met. He was married, had children and grandchildren, had a great career, plenty of friends, and exercised daily. (Plummer et al, 2014). According to Maslow “When people fulfill the most elemental needs, they strive to meet those on the next level, and so forth, until the highest order of needs is reached (Zastrow & Kirst-Ashman, 2016, p. 505). Emotionally and intellectually Andres was in a good place. Now, at the age of 68, he has disabilities and has lost most of his independence. He tries to de independent, but has injured himself several times. Activities as basic as eating and bathing unassisted are forever changed. Andres has lost his independence and has become depressed as he realizes more and more that his life is forever altered. “He now uses a cane and walker to ambulate. His speech is slow and soft. He requires assistance to get dressed and eat at times due to severe tremors and the loss of dexterity in his hands” (Plummer et al, 2014). His safety needs were not being met, especially due to his instability, disabilities, and other medical conditions. This has resulted in a lack of belongingness, low-self-esteem, and no self-actualization. But over time Andres started to accept who he has become. Even though Andres hated asking for help, he realized that asking for assistance could have prevented some of the falls and injuries (Plummer et al, 2014). Andres, accepted the help of the social worker, accepted some help from family, realized that he could not change what has happened to him, and even reclaimed some of the friendships he once had with colleagues.

Be sure to support your blog posts with specific references to this week's resources and provide full APA citations for your references. Colleague 1: Carolyn An explanation of potential challenges in adhering to confidentiality in your field education experience My field education experience is called “brighter future”. It is an agency that most of the employee are related. And so part of their confidently is made sure that they do not share information. A description of agency policies or mandates about confirms to evidentiality Today at my field placement, we discuss the important of confidentiality. According to my agency policies, we have to make sure that everything we do is kept confidential. For example, I was observing and learning how to input documents into the computer. I found out that, everyone in the agency is required to keep every file, everything they do about that client has to be protected. The files that inputted in the computer were also kept manually and under the table so that no one would know about their client’s names. Discussing any client outside the office was a no-no. They were also required not to address any problem faced by the clients until they have any a consent letter from the client. An explanation of potential challenges in communicating with clients within your agency The challenges that I see with confidentiality within this agency is how they interact with each other. Some of the confidential information is shared throughout the agency and take lightly as a joke. I think it’s about time for all employee to come together and be supportive of this little fella who wanted a bike but lack of financial report Reference: Saxon, C., Jacinto, G. A., & Dziegielewski, S. F. (2006). Self-determination and confidentiality: The ambiguous nature of decision-making in social work practice.

Colleague 2: Melissa With the place that I am working at Paso Del Norte Children’s Development Center, I am working in a variety of places that require different safety plans. The number one rule is to always sit by the door and have the client sit in front of u while the door is behind you. This is in order to prevent any type of danger that may occur. The bright side about working with clients that are in our organization is that these clients are willing to meet with us. It is important to keep note that these clients are in need of help and come to us in order to get help with behavioral, students with special needs, or other specific behavior’s that kids need help with. There are also a number of speech therapists that work within the building and help the kids overcome their fears or behavior patterns when dealing with this issue. If the soc.

RESPOND write one responses to the two colleagues in one of the following ways: Provide an alternative suggestion of how program evaluation can be used. Provide support or an alternative perspective on the elements of program evaluation. · RE: Discussion - Week 1 1st person Collapse Top of Form [removed] [removed] Total views: 48 (Your views: 2) As a State Correctional employee, we often use evaluations to analyze in-service training, policy reviews, programs and services, etc. It may seem as if we are over evaluating; however, this helps to ensure our services are effective. Westat (2010) says the two reasons program evaluation exists, as written for the National Science Foundation, is to “improve a project” and “document what has been achieved” (p. 3). The most consistent with my interest is program improvement. For instance, we had four different in-service courses with the same course information. An evaluation was passed out to the students at the end of the course to provide their opinion of the course. The comments prompted the instructors to redesign four courses into one. Evaluations are essential tool in Corrections because it allows us to document our achievements, which will result in data to support our reentry programs. References: Westat, J. F. (Ed.). (2010). The 2010 user-friendly handbook for project evaluation. Retrieved from https://www.westat.com/sites/westat.com/files/2010UFHB.pdf Bottom of Form 2-person initial post WK1D1 Collapse Top of Form [removed] [removed] Total views: 54 (Your views: 3) In my work with community corrections, I have not conducted any type of program evaluation; however, I understand program evaluation is designed to answer some key questions about a program’s effectiveness to the stakeholders (community, participants and staff). The overarching idea behind program evaluation is to ascertain if those who should benefit from the program are actually benefiting and if those performing the services to the community are skilled at providing the services. Another important aspect of program evaluation is to determine whether the allocated resources for the services are sufficient for addressing the needs of the population (The Program Manager’s Guide to Evaluation, 2010). In looking at this week’s resources, Langbein (2012) identifies some distinct differences between program and project (p.3). A program is described as “ongoing services or activities” (Langbein, 2012, p. 3) while projects are intended to be one-time activities that has long-lasting sustainable impact on communities (p. 3). Thus, program evaluations should help determine the extent of a program’s success or lack thereof (what works and what does not work) as well as provide insight on navigating areas where unexpected circumstances occur (Westat, 2010). In short, program evaluations provide managers and administrators the data needed to prove or disprove the value of a program which ultimately impac.
