CORONARY HEART DISEASE WITH CASE STUDY AND FOLLOW THE OUTLINES BELOW
3000 WORDS
Introduction
In this section guide the reader through your assignment journey by:
Identifying the topic: State what you are going to discuss (this should link to the learning outcomes) CORONARY HEART DISEASE
Background
One short paragraph re-prevalence of LTC (CORONARY HEART DISEASE) and impact on NHS/quality of life – this justifies your choice of LTC (setting the scene)
The context you have nursed the patient in – hospital/community/primary care/secondary care etc.
What has brought them into your care? i.e. an acute exacerbation/bi-annual review with case manager/increase in symptoms etc Present the background here and present your patients signs and symptoms that made them seek help at this point.
Articulate a succinct history, ‘like a bedside handover’, presenting clinical manifestations…….(CASE STUDY ABOUT PATIENT)
THIS IS AN EXAMPLE
Peter has Heart failure,62yrs, lives alone/recently bereaved/married etc smokes, unable to work/retired etc…. he presented in hospital, he could have presented with an array of problems for example, short of breath, fatigue, weakness, oedema/swelling, low mood/anxiety, persistent cough, admits to not understanding his medication and/or taking his medication etc, etc etc
LO1: Pathophysiology and related clinical manifestations
Give a very brief overview of normal A&P (your chosen Long Term condition) then link this to: -
· Changes that have occurred to the structures/function – this is the pathophysiology part, Then…….
· Link the pathophysiology to your patient symptoms/how they presented (clinical manifestations/signs/symptoms) this then creates some analysis and demonstrates a deeper level of understanding allowing you to fully meet with the LO and to demonstrate that you understand why they have these signs and symptoms.
· Sticking with the example above; Peter presented with oedema, cough and low mood/not coping. Explain/link the pathophysiology to the cough/oedema etc, why is this happening?
LO4: The nursing process
What is the nursing process – a holistic and systematic way to assess patients etc.
Where does care planning fit in with this? Why is it important, who is involved? (nurse, patient, MDT approach to care delivery is needed).
For this section, a clear and concise overview of the importance of a systematic approach (APIE) to nursing care delivery is required. Discussion relating to how this can impact on the management of your case studies disease with focus on self-care strategies. The importance of MDT and family in promoting self-care strategies needs to be included. What are self-care strategies?
Planning and delivering care for patients involves a collaborative approach, this includes the patient, carers, family, nurse, MDT etc, the focus is on individualised care, holistic care, person cantered care, patient focussed care/Link with the evidence that supports why we do this.

Assignment 2 FAQs
Question 1
I am eager to start my next piece of assessment, my understanding is we have to identify and explain our understanding of process and outcome data in delivery of safe, high quality care.
The example I would like to use is the five moments of hand hygiene, with promotes infection control, my data would be the auditing process of the five moments and how this is acheived. The outcomes would be improved patient outcomes or adversely, death due to nosocomial infection or readmission. Am I on the right track or does the example have to be based on an a specific ILLNESS such as CA or pneumothorax for example using the Donabedian model of measuring health care
such as treatment process, stages of treatment, appropriateness of treatment and outcomes such as death, adverse events etc..
And do we have to go into depth about what the illness. or is it just simply demonstrating our understanding of the processes and outcomes data for an illness?
Thank you for your email.
Yes you are on the right track as you are discussing safety and quality of nursing care NOT the process or outcome of a disease.
And do we have to go into depth about what the illness. or is it just simply demonstrating our understanding of the processes and outcomes data for an illness?
If you were discussing infection you would need to discuss the impact of the infection.For example,
1. What would be the impact on the client/patient? eg prolonging of illness, complications, longer hospital stay, financial costs, psychological costs,
2. What would be the impact on the health organisation/hospital? eg Inefficiency, increased length of patient stay, bed blocking, increased costs of hospitalisation, possible court claim
3. What would be the impact on the state? eg Decreased productivity of the individual if they remain hospitalised and are unable to work, increased costs if client/patient a pensioner
Question 2
In regards to the second assessment piece, it says:
"Use the scholarly literature to identify and explain the use of process and outcome data in the delivery of safe, quality nursing care in health institutions.
The use 1 example of process and outcome data to demonstrate your understanding of their use in providing safe, high quality care in health institutions."
Did you want us to use the 1 example for the whole paper in identifying and explaining the use of process and outcome data in the delivery of safe, quality nursing care in health institutions to demonstrate our understanding of it. Or did you want us to address both points separately as they are explaining what it is first, then explaining it again using the example we choose?
Thank you for your email.
How you go about addressing the question is up to you. What you have been asked to do is:
1. Explain the use of process and outcome data in the delivery of safe, quality nursing care in health institutions.
2. Demonstrate your understanding of these two phenomena by providing examples of ...

The project is the creation of a white paper.
Much of what happens in healthcare is about understanding the expectations of the many departments and personnel within the organization. Reimbursement drives the financial operations of healthcare organizations; each department affects the reimbursement process regarding timelines and the amount of money put into and taken out of the system. However, if departments do not follow the guidelines put into place or do not capture the necessary information, it can be detrimental to the reimbursement system.
An important role for patient financial services (PFS) personnel is to monitor the reimbursement process, analyze the reimbursement process, and suggest changes to help maximize the reimbursement. One way to make this process more efficient is by ensuring that the various departments and personnel are exposed to the necessary knowledge.
For your final project, you will assume the role of a supervisor within a PFS department and develop a white paper in which the necessary healthcare reimbursement knowledge is outlined.
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 One, Three, and Five.
In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes:
†
Analyze the impacts of various healthcare departments and their interrelationships on the revenue cycle
†
Compare third-party payer policies through analysis of reimbursement guidelines for achieving timely and maximum reimbursements
†
Analyze organizational strategies for negotiating healthcare contracts with managed care organizations
†
Critique legal and ethical standards and policies in healthcare coding and billing for ensuring compliance with rules and regulations

ERM at Learner Centered Teaching & Strategic Risk Management:
Learner Centered Teaching (LCT) is based on learning research that summons more active, inductive instruction. It is extremely interesting to see students strongly arguing for the most important step in an ERM process even when there may not actually be a hierarchy, Increased student engagement strengthened team-based skills, personalized student guidance, focused classroom discussion, and faculty freedom are several benefits of the growing LCT adoption.
Managing Financial Risk assessment is a major point that TL approach gives an example of the trade-offs, costs, and benefits of hedging with futures contracts often starting with a simple natural hedge. Here, the student records the respective payoffs to long and short positions when prices change. Students memorize the transactions and expect to replicate the steps with different numbers, and maybe even a different futures contract for a challenging TL course.
ERM is a business management support process for several years and proponents of ERM have been advocating incorporating the ERM process into strategic and business planning to increase its utility. The specific purpose is to reduce the impact of adverse events and be ready to exploit emerging opportunities and adapting the ERM process within the existing strategic and business planning methodology. Organizations that view the ERM process as supporting business strategies should consider positioning it where the primary goals are both to grow the business and to protect value: corporate planning and the business units can be utilized to incorporate ERM into the strategic and annual business planning process with three internal scan elements -
· Surveying the C-Suite on risk managements
· Effectiveness of risk controls & security audit
· Creating ERM Risk register
The surveys will enable a comparison between the current state of risk management activities and the corresponding risk control efforts and ERM risk register is a tool for organizing the identified risks and their internal owners.

Write a 3 page evidence-based health care delivery plan for one co.docxowenhall46084
Write a 3 page evidence-based health care delivery plan for one component of a heart failure clinic.
Nursing within an organization is a critical component of health care delivery and is an essential ingredient in patient outcomes (Kelly & Tazbir, 2014). The concern for quality care that flows from evidence-based practice generates a desired outcome. Without these factors, a nurse cannot be an effective leader. It is important to lead not only from this position but from knowledge and expertise.

Instructions
Deliverable: Develop an evidence-based plan for health care delivery.
Scenario:
The hospital where you work has an issue with increased readmissions within 30 days of discharge. After examining the core measures, it was found that heart failure was the most common core measure disease process experiencing the highest rate of readmissions. The leadership team has given your team the charge of developing a nurse-run outpatient heart failure clinic. The purpose of this clinic is to ensure that discharge education is presented to the patient in an orderly, consistent manner and complies with evidence-based practice protocols. Since these patients may be discharged from a variety of areas in the facility, having the heart failure clinic staff take ownership of the process will improve both consistency and compliance. There are cardiologists that interact with the staff and patients, but the day-to-day operations of the clinic are designed and supported by the nurses as they interact with appropriate members of the other health care team disciplines promoting the best care for the heart failure patients.
As a member of the nurse team, you have been asked to develop onecomponent of the clinic.
The hospital leadership established these objective.

The HITECH Act was incorporated into ARRA to promote the adoption and meaningful use of health information technology. Subtitle D of the HITECH Act, sections 13400–
13424, addresses the privacy and security concerns associated with the electronic transmission of health information. It does so, in part, through several provisions that
strengthen the civil and criminal enforcement of the HIPAA rules. (HHS.gov, 2017)
Consider the following case from the course scenario on St. Michael's Medical Center.
Case I: The Blue Wall
Many patients and regulators have accused the hospital of neglecting its organizational responsibilities to respect patient rights. The hospital has established a socalled blue
wall to withhold information and protect its employees. The administration and the ethics committee overseeing these ethical issues were accused of coverup and making
decisions that endangered vulnerable people. In most cases, the hospital has failed to meet its responsibilities to patients and to comply with regulations. Some of the violations
are the following:
Employees have exposed patient information to unauthorized people.
Nurses have made unilateral decisions and ignored informed consent mandates.
Administrators have covered up instances of medication errors and failed to meet regulatory compliance regarding the handling, storage, and retention of medical records.
Visitors have found sensitive patient information in files left in hallways and on laptops left in patients' rooms. Mobile devices containing patient information that doctors
have claimed were missing have been found lying around in public areas.
Few employees have done the right thing. Organizational lapses in policies and procedures occur at all levels.
As the newly hired chief executive officer (CEO), you have been asked to address these issues. You will make a presentation to help managers, supervisors, and general staff
members to curb the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) violations in the following areas:
Communication
Secure storage of information
Retention of health information
Prepare a 15slide PowerPoint addressing the following items:
What are 5 effective health information communication methods? What are the advantages and disadvantages of these methods?
What healthcare laws guide the sharing and delivery of health information among stakeholders? What type of health information could be shared and with whom?
What are the benefits of sharing patient health information? What current applications are available to share patient information?
What HIPAA mandates are about the disclosure of patient information, especially the Privacy and Security Rules?
What are the benefits of using social media applications for sharing health information? What limitations exist in sharing health information using social media
applications?

PART IHCA270 Health Care Finance PART I - Contractual AllowanceBa.docxherbertwilson5999
PART IHCA/270 Health Care Finance PART I - Contractual AllowanceBackground: Each health plan negotiates specific contracts with the physician or hospital. Each procedure code has an established rate and a contracted rate. Let's say that the established rate for the code 99214 is $84. The physician bills the insurance company $72 for the patient visit. The physician has a contract where it was agreed that the health plan would pay $45 for a patient visit. Therefore, the contractual allowance is the difference between the established rate of $84 and the agreed-upon amount of $45. Directions: Contractual allowances represent the difference between the full established procedure rate and the rate that will be paid to the physician practice based upon the agreed-upon contractural rate. For Part I of this assignment, assume that each payer listed below have negotiated a Managed Care contract with the physician. The physician has performed 10 new patient physicals, one for each payer, and will bill each of the health plans the established rate of $174 for procedure code 98235. The contracted rate is listed in Column B. You must find the contractural allowance for each health plan and place the result in Column C.New Patient Physical Exam Code is 99385 .

Part 1: Interest Rates
Macroeconomic factors that influence interest rates in general
The variables influencing microfinance interest rates for MFIs can be characterized into two general gatherings: 1) interior – the components MFIs can impact: for example work costs, specialized help, creations; or 2) outer – political risks, full scale factors, authoritative risk, and four fundamental parts reflected in the microfinance interest rates: working costs, cost of assets, advance misfortune costs, and benefit. Working expenses speak to around 60 % of the all out MFI costs and generally rely upon the credit size, age, area and customer's appraising, and so on.
Macroeconomic factors is your industry most sensitive
Like most businesses, the carrier business is affected by the monetary cycle's pinnacles and troughs. The present development in created economies—like the U.S. that is driven by the extricating money related strategy—has brought about an ascent in business certainty, mechanical creation, and universal exchange.
Impacts on the interest rates experienced within your chosen industry
In any industry, the economy assumes a urgent job that incorporates the general development of the division, and common flight, with the ever-developing interest, is no special case. To give a major picture, Airbus GMF 2016 evaluations the 20-year interest for new traveler and cargo airplane to be a little more than 33,000 airplane comprising a market estimation of over USD $5.2 trillion underlining and setting up the effect of market development.
Part 2: Stock Valuation, Risk and Returns
Stock Valuation. As indicated by the Bureau of Economic Analysis (or BEA), the genuine total national output (or GDP) expanded 4% every year in 2Q14 in the wake of diminishing 2.1% in 1Q14. With financial and modern development, work rates have expanded. This has prompted higher genuine extra cash.

My company doesn't have stocks right now, so I'll use Costco Wholesale as an example to explain the stock valuation. Future Costco Wholesale Corp stock predictions formula:
P0 = Div1 / (r – g)
P0 = Stock Price;
Div1= Estimated dividends for the next period;
r = Required Rate of Return;
g = Growth Rate
In this formula, we need to know the value of estimated dividends for the next period; required rate and return as well as growth rate. Let’s get each number individually.
g: Growth Rate = Retention Ratio x ROE
0.52 x 0.24 = 0.1248
r: Required Rate of Return.
R = D / P0 + g
0.65 / 296.09 + 0.1248 = 0.1269
Div1: Estimated dividends for the next period is 65c. Therefore, the future Costco Wholesale Corp stock predictions are:
P0 = Div1 / (r – g)
0.65 / 0.0021 = $309.52

Focused SOAP Note and Patient Case PresentationPsychiatric notesShainaBoling829
Focused SOAP Note and Patient Case Presentation
Psychiatric notes are a way to reflect on your practicum experiences and connect them to the didactic learning you gain from your NRNP courses. Focused SOAP notes, such as the ones required in this practicum course, are often used in clinical settings to document patient care.
For this Assignment, you will document information about a patient that you examined during the last three weeks, using the Focused SOAP Note Template provided. You will then use this note to develop and record a case presentation for this patient. To Prepare
· Create a Focused SOAP Note on this patient using the template provided in the Learning Resources. There is also a completed Focused SOAP Note Exemplar provided to serve as a guide to assignment expectations.
PleaseNote:
· Based on your SOAP note of this patient, develop a case study presentation.
· Include at least five scholarly resources to support your assessment, diagnosis, and treatment planning.
The Assignment
The written portion of this assignment is a simulation for you to demonstrate to the faculty your ability to document the complex case as you would in an electronic medical record. The written portion of the assignment will be used as a guide for faculty to review your video to determine if you are omitting pertinent information or including non-essential information during your case staffing consultation video.
In your presentation:
· Present the full complex case study. Include chief complaint; history of present illness; any pertinent past psychiatric, substance use, medical, social, family history; most recent mental status exam; current psychiatric diagnosis including differentials that were ruled out; and plan for treatment and management.
· Report normal diagnostic results as the name of the test and “normal” (rather than specific value). Abnormal results should be reported as a specific value.
· Be succinct in your presentation, and do not exceed 8 minutes. Specifically address the following for the patient, using your SOAP note as a guide:
·
Subjective: What details did the patient provide regarding their chief complaint and symptomology to derive your differential diagnosis? What is the duration and severity of their symptoms? How are their symptoms impacting their functioning in life?
·
Objective: What observations did you make during the psychiatric assessment?
·
Assessment: Discuss their mental status examination results. What were your differential diagnoses? Provide a minimum of three possible diagnoses and why you chose them. List them from highest priority to lowest priority. What was your primary diagnosis and why? Describe how your primary diagnosis aligns with
DSM-5 diagnostic criteria and supported by the patient’s symptoms.

Assignment 2 FederalismThe system of federalism was instituted wi.docxbobbywlane695641
Assignment 2: Federalism
The system of federalism was instituted with the writing and authorization of the Constitution in 1787. In dividing power between states and the national government, federalism has undergone challenges to the placement of power. Should power reside primarily in national or in state government? The Civil War was the most dramatic challenge to the placement of power. Southern states argued, under the leadership of John C. Calhoun, that states’ power superseded national power, while northern states, under the leadership of President Abraham Lincoln, stressed the need for union under the leadership and direction of the national government.
In the more than two hundred years since the Constitution’s adoption, there have been many changes to the meaning of federalism, with power shifting between state and national governments. In the twentieth century, the shifts of power became largely associated with the national government’s ability to provide increased funding sources. With more funding available, the national government has expanded its impact on all areas of state governments. This increased power has had many advocates and many detractors, each with strong justifications.
Research federalism using your textbook, the online library resources, and the Internet. Write a paper on federalism. Structure your paper as follows:
Define federalism.
Explain three advantages of federalism.
Explain three disadvantages of federalism.
Identify and describe at least two ways in which American federalism has changed since the ratification of the Constitution.
Discuss one advantage or disadvantage of federalism most relevant to you.
Describe the relationship between contemporary politics and trends in the size and power of the federal government.
Write a 2–3-page paper in Word format. Apply APA standards for writing style to your work.

The Civil War was the most dramatic challenge to the placement of power. Southern states argued, under the leadership of John C. Calhoun, that states’ power superseded national power, while northern states, under the leadership of President Abraham Lincoln, stressed the need for union under the leadership and direction of the national government.
In the more than two hundred years since the Constitution’s adoption, there have been many changes to the meaning of federalism, with power shifting between state and national governments. In the twentieth century, the shifts of power became largely associated with the national government’s ability to provide increased funding sources. With more funding available, the national government has expanded its impact on all areas of state governments. This increased power has had many advocates and many detractors, each with strong justifications.
Research federalism using your textbook, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet. Write a paper on federalism. Structure your paper as follows:
Define federalism.
Explain three advantages of federalism.
Explain three disadvantages of federalism.

Assignment 2 Evidence Based Practice at Good Seed Drop-InAcco.docxbobbywlane695641
Assignment 2: Evidence Based Practice at Good Seed Drop-In
According to the Council on Social Work Education, Competency 4: Engage In Practice-informed Research and Research-informed Practice:
Social workers understand quantitative and qualitative research methods and their respective roles in advancing a science of social work and in evaluating their practice. Social workers know the principles of logic, scientific inquiry, and culturally informed and ethical approaches to building knowledge. Social workers understand that evidence that informs practice derives from multi-disciplinary sources and multiple ways of knowing.
They also understand the processes for translating research findings into effective practice. Social workers:
Use practice experience and theory to inform scientific inquiry and research;
Apply critical thinking to engage in analysis of quantitative and qualitative research methods and research findings; and
Use and translate research evidence to inform and improve practice, policy, and service delivery.
This assignment is intended to help students demonstrate the behavioral components of this competency in their field education.
To Prepare: Meet with your Field Instructor. During the meeting, you are expected to assess the population(s) served by the agency. After meeting with the Field Instructor, conduct extensive research regarding the agency’s client population. You will be expected to use at least 5 peer-reviewed resources. The purpose of the research is to discover “evidenced based practices” that are most effective while working with clients served within the population. If the agency serves more than one population, select one sub-population within the agency to conduct the review.
(Homeless youth from 18-25 years-old, Population Served Transition Aged Youth or "TAY")
The Assignment: Create a 10-12 slide PowerPoint Presentation, where you will explain the following:
1. Population researched
2. Best evidenced based practices modalities used to engage the population
3. Current modalities used in the agency
4. Briefly discuss and suggest to methods of implementing evidence-based practices in the agency

Write a 3 page evidence-based health care delivery plan for one component of a heart failure clinic.
Nursing within an organization is a critical component of health care delivery and is an essential ingredient in patient outcomes (Kelly & Tazbir, 2014). The concern for quality care that flows from evidence-based practice generates a desired outcome. Without these factors, a nurse cannot be an effective leader. It is important to lead not only from this position but from knowledge and expertise.
By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:
· Competency 2: Explain the accountability of the nurse leader for decisions that affect health care delivery and patient outcomes.
. Describe accountability tools and procedures used to measure effectiveness.
· Competency 3: Apply management strategies and best practices for health care finance, human resources, and materials allocation decisions to improve health care delivery and patient outcomes.
. Develop an evidence-based plan for health care delivery.
· Competency 4: Apply professional standards of moral, ethical, and legal conduct in professional practice.
. Apply professional and legal standards in support of a care plan.
· Competency 5: Communicate in manner that is consistent with the expectations of a nursing professional.

Instructions
Deliverable: Develop an evidence-based plan for health care delivery.
Scenario:
The hospital where you work has an issue with increased readmissions within 30 days of discharge. After examining the core measures, it was found that heart failure was the most common core measure disease process experiencing the highest rate of readmissions. The leadership team has given your team the charge of developing a nurse-run outpatient heart failure clinic. The purpose of this clinic is to ensure that discharge education is presented to the patient in an orderly, consistent manner and complies with evidence-based practice protocols. Since these patients may be discharged from a variety of areas in the facility, having the heart failure clinic staff take ownership of the process will improve both consistency and compliance. There are cardiologists that interact with the staff and patients, but the day-to-day operations of the clinic are designed and supported by the nurses as they interact with appropriate members of the other health care team disciplines promoting the best care for the heart failure patients.
As a member of the nurse team, you have been asked to develop onecomponent of the clinic.
The hospital leadership established these objective.

The HITECH Act was incorporated into ARRA to promote the adoption and meaningful use of health information technology. Subtitle D of the HITECH Act, sections 13400–
13424, addresses the privacy and security concerns associated with the electronic transmission of health information. It does so, in part, through several provisions that
strengthen the civil and criminal enforcement of the HIPAA rules. (HHS.gov, 2017)
Consider the following case from the course scenario on St. Michael's Medical Center.
Case I: The Blue Wall
Many patients and regulators have accused the hospital of neglecting its organizational responsibilities to respect patient rights. The hospital has established a socalled blue
wall to withhold information and protect its employees. The administration and the ethics committee overseeing these ethical issues were accused of coverup and making
decisions that endangered vulnerable people. In most cases, the hospital has failed to meet its responsibilities to patients and to comply with regulations. Some of the violations
are the following:
Employees have exposed patient information to unauthorized people.
Nurses have made unilateral decisions and ignored informed consent mandates.
Administrators have covered up instances of medication errors and failed to meet regulatory compliance regarding the handling, storage, and retention of medical records.
Visitors have found sensitive patient information in files left in hallways and on laptops left in patients' rooms. Mobile devices containing patient information that doctors
have claimed were missing have been found lying around in public areas.
Few employees have done the right thing. Organizational lapses in policies and procedures occur at all levels.
As the newly hired chief executive officer (CEO), you have been asked to address these issues. You will make a presentation to help managers, supervisors, and general staff
members to curb the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) violations in the following areas:
Communication
Secure storage of information
Retention of health information
Prepare a 15slide PowerPoint addressing the following items:
What are 5 effective health information communication methods? What are the advantages and disadvantages of these methods?
What healthcare laws guide the sharing and delivery of health information among stakeholders? What type of health information could be shared and with whom?
What are the benefits of sharing patient health information? What current applications are available to share patient information?
What HIPAA mandates are about the disclosure of patient information, especially the Privacy and Security Rules?

PART IHCA270 Health Care Finance PART I - Contractual AllowanceBa.docxherbertwilson5999
PART IHCA/270 Health Care Finance PART I - Contractual AllowanceBackground: Each health plan negotiates specific contracts with the physician or hospital. Each procedure code has an established rate and a contracted rate. Let's say that the established rate for the code 99214 is $84. The physician bills the insurance company $72 for the patient visit. The physician has a contract where it was agreed that the health plan would pay $45 for a patient visit. Therefore, the contractual allowance is the difference between the established rate of $84 and the agreed-upon amount of $45. Directions: Contractual allowances represent the difference between the full established procedure rate and the rate that will be paid to the physician practice based upon the agreed-upon contractural rate. For Part I of this assignment, assume that each payer listed below have negotiated a Managed Care contract with the physician. The physician has performed 10 new patient physicals, one for each payer, and will bill each of the health plans the established rate of $174 for procedure code 98235. The contracted rate is listed in Column B. You must find the contractural allowance for each health plan and place the result in Column C.New Patient Physical Exam Code is 99385 .

Part 1 Interest RatesMacroeconomic factors that influence inter.docxssuser562afc1
Part 1: Interest Rates
Macroeconomic factors that influence interest rates in general
The variables influencing microfinance interest rates for MFIs can be characterized into two general gatherings: 1) interior – the components MFIs can impact: for example work costs, specialized help, creations; or 2) outer – political risks, full scale factors, authoritative risk, and four fundamental parts reflected in the microfinance interest rates: working costs, cost of assets, advance misfortune costs, and benefit. Working expenses speak to around 60 % of the all out MFI costs and generally rely upon the credit size, age, area and customer's appraising, and so on.
Macroeconomic factors is your industry most sensitive
Like most businesses, the carrier business is affected by the monetary cycle's pinnacles and troughs. The present development in created economies—like the U.S. that is driven by the extricating money related strategy—has brought about an ascent in business certainty, mechanical creation, and universal exchange.
Impacts on the interest rates experienced within your chosen industry
In any industry, the economy assumes a urgent job that incorporates the general development of the division, and common flight, with the ever-developing interest, is no special case. To give a major picture, Airbus GMF 2016 evaluations the 20-year interest for new traveler and cargo airplane to be a little more than 33,000 airplane comprising a market estimation of over USD $5.2 trillion underlining and setting up the effect of market development.
Part 2: Stock Valuation, Risk and Returns
Stock Valuation. As indicated by the Bureau of Economic Analysis (or BEA), the genuine total national output (or GDP) expanded 4% every year in 2Q14 in the wake of diminishing 2.1% in 1Q14. With financial and modern development, work rates have expanded. This has prompted higher genuine extra cash.
From Video
My company doesn't have stocks right now, so I'll use Costco Wholesale as an example to explain the stock valuation. Future Costco Wholesale Corp stock predictions formula:
P0 = Div1 / (r – g)
P0 = Stock Price;
Div1= Estimated dividends for the next period;
r = Required Rate of Return;
g = Growth Rate
In this formula, we need to know the value of estimated dividends for the next period; required rate and return as well as growth rate. Let’s get each number individually.
g: Growth Rate = Retention Ratio x ROE
0.52 x 0.24 = 0.1248
r: Required Rate of Return.
R = D / P0 + g
0.65 / 296.09 + 0.1248 = 0.1269
Div1: Estimated dividends for the next period is 65c. Therefore, the future Costco Wholesale Corp stock predictions are:
P0 = Div1 / (r – g)
0.65 / 0.0021 = $309.52

Focused SOAP Note and Patient Case Presentation
Psychiatric notes are a way to reflect on your practicum experiences and connect them to the didactic learning you gain from your NRNP courses. Focused SOAP notes, such as the ones required in this practicum course, are often used in clinical settings to document patient care.
For this Assignment, you will document information about a patient that you examined during the last three weeks, using the Focused SOAP Note Template provided. You will then use this note to develop and record a case presentation for this patient. To Prepare
· Create a Focused SOAP Note on this patient using the template provided in the Learning Resources. There is also a completed Focused SOAP Note Exemplar provided to serve as a guide to assignment expectations.
PleaseNote:
· Based on your SOAP note of this patient, develop a case study presentation.
· Include at least five scholarly resources to support your assessment, diagnosis, and treatment planning.
The Assignment
The written portion of this assignment is a simulation for you to demonstrate to the faculty your ability to document the complex case as you would in an electronic medical record. The written portion of the assignment will be used as a guide for faculty to review your video to determine if you are omitting pertinent information or including non-essential information during your case staffing consultation video.
In your presentation:
· Present the full complex case study. Include chief complaint; history of present illness; any pertinent past psychiatric, substance use, medical, social, family history; most recent mental status exam; current psychiatric diagnosis including differentials that were ruled out; and plan for treatment and management.
· Report normal diagnostic results as the name of the test and “normal” (rather than specific value). Abnormal results should be reported as a specific value.
· Be succinct in your presentation, and do not exceed 8 minutes. Specifically address the following for the patient, using your SOAP note as a guide:
·
Subjective: What details did the patient provide regarding their chief complaint and symptomology to derive your differential diagnosis? What is the duration and severity of their symptoms? How are their symptoms impacting their functioning in life?
·
Objective: What observations did you make during the psychiatric assessment?
·
Assessment: Discuss their mental status examination results. What were your differential diagnoses? Provide a minimum of three possible diagnoses and why you chose them. List them from highest priority to lowest priority. What was your primary diagnosis and why? Describe how your primary diagnosis aligns with
DSM-5 diagnostic criteria and supported by the patient’s symptoms.

Assignment 2 FederalismThe system of federalism was instituted wi.docxbobbywlane695641
Assignment 2: Federalism
The system of federalism was instituted with the writing and authorization of the Constitution in 1787. In dividing power between states and the national government, federalism has undergone challenges to the placement of power. Should power reside primarily in national or in state government? The Civil War was the most dramatic challenge to the placement of power. Southern states argued, under the leadership of John C. Calhoun, that states’ power superseded national power, while northern states, under the leadership of President Abraham Lincoln, stressed the need for union under the leadership and direction of the national government.
In the more than two hundred years since the Constitution’s adoption, there have been many changes to the meaning of federalism, with power shifting between state and national governments. In the twentieth century, the shifts of power became largely associated with the national government’s ability to provide increased funding sources. With more funding available, the national government has expanded its impact on all areas of state governments. This increased power has had many advocates and many detractors, each with strong justifications.
Research federalism using your textbook, the online library resources, and the Internet. Write a paper on federalism. Structure your paper as follows:
Define federalism.
Explain three advantages of federalism.
Explain three disadvantages of federalism.
Identify and describe at least two ways in which American federalism has changed since the ratification of the Constitution.
Discuss one advantage or disadvantage of federalism most relevant to you.
Describe the relationship between contemporary politics and trends in the size and power of the federal government.
Write a 2–3-page paper in Word format. Apply APA standards for writing style to your work.

, analyze the following scenario:
There are multifaceted ethical issues relating to international investments. One aspect relates to human rights. Most Latin American governments have constitutions that mandate health care as a human right, yet some of these countries provide poor health care for the majority of their population.
During the 1980s, the general populace of these countries deteriorated, even though several Latin American countries developed strategies to reposition medical personnel and services to rural areas. Throughout this time, many international donors provided assistance; however they did so with imposed conditions. An example of this constrained assistance was the World Bank, which imposed restrictions that included privatization of health care, as well as required limitations on universal access.
Did the World Bank and other international donors act responsibly and ethically in constraining their humanitarian assistance? Who has the responsibility for the health care of the Latin American people? Is it a reasonable and socially responsible practice to offer international assistance in exchange for an opportunity to shape a country's political and/or social system? Why or why not?

Assignment 2: Ethical (Moral) Relativism
In America, many are comfortable describing ethics as follows: “Well, what’s right for me is right for me and what’s right for you is right for you. Let’s just agree to disagree.” This is an affirmation of what philosophers call
individual
or
subjective moral relativism
. In this understanding of relativism, morality is a matter of individual feelings and personal preference. In individual moral relativism, the determination of what is right and wrong in a situation varies according to the individual. Moral relativists do not believe in natural law or universal truths.
Cultural moral relativism
puts culture at the forefront of relative ethical decision-making. It says the individual must include the precepts of his or her culture as a prominent part of the relativistic moral action.
Lawrence
Kohlberg,
a prominent psychologist known for recognizing moral stages of development, takes it a step farther saying cultural relativists are persons stuck in the “
Conventional
Stage” of ethical development
.
In your paper, please define individual moral relativism and cultural moral relativism in detail, noting how they differ from each other, their strengths and weaknesses, and give your position on Kohlberg’s stance on ethical relativism.
What aspects of ethical relativism do you identify and agree with? What aspects do you disagree with? Give a personal example that illustrates your stance on ethical relativism, describing how you made a moral decision in an ethical dilemma. Include at least two references to support your thoughts.

Both Moliere and Swift use humor to provide an analysis of serious social problems. In doing so, they both describe various types and uses of power, from the governmental power that restores Orgon’s property and the English laws that do not take into account the conditions of the Irish, to the power that a landlord holds over a renter or a father over a family, to the exercise of religion and wealth within a community, to the wishes and desires of the young, and more.
Your task is to identify at least two types of power in our readings for this module. You may use either
Tartuffe
or
A Modest Proposal

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

CORONARY HEART DISEASE WITH CASE STUDY AND FOLLOW THE OUTLINES BE.docx
1. CORONARY HEART DISEASE WITH CASE STUDY AND
FOLLOW THE OUTLINES BELOW
3000 WORDS
Introduction
In this section guide the reader through your assignment journey
by:
Identifying the topic: State what you are going to discuss (this
should link to the learning outcomes) CORONARY HEART
DISEASE
Background
One short paragraph re-prevalence of LTC (CORONARY
HEART DISEASE) and impact on NHS/quality of life – this
justifies your choice of LTC (setting the scene)
The context you have nursed the patient in –
hospital/community/primary care/secondary care etc.
What has brought them into your care? i.e. an acute
exacerbation/bi-annual review with case manager/increase in
symptoms etc Present the background here and present your
patients signs and symptoms that made them seek help at this
point.
Articulate a succinct history, ‘like a bedside handover’,
presenting clinical manifestations…….(CASE STUDY ABOUT
PATIENT)
THIS IS AN EXAMPLE
Peter has Heart failure,62yrs, lives alone/recently
bereaved/married etc smokes, unable to work/retired etc…. he
presented in hospital, he could have presented with an array of
problems for example, short of breath, fatigue, weakness,
oedema/swelling, low mood/anxiety, persistent cough, admits to
2. not understanding his medication and/or taking his medication
etc, etc etc
LO1: Pathophysiology and related clinical manifestations
Give a very brief overview of normal A&P (your chosen Long
Term condition) then link this to: -
· Changes that have occurred to the structures/function – this is
the pathophysiology part, Then…….
· Link the pathophysiology to your patient symptoms/how they
presented (clinical manifestations/signs/symptoms) this then
creates some analysis and demonstrates a deeper level of
understanding allowing you to fully meet with the LO and to
demonstrate that you understand why they have these signs and
symptoms.
· Sticking with the example above; Peter presented with
oedema, cough and low mood/not coping. Explain/link the
pathophysiology to the cough/oedema etc, why is this
happening?
LO4: The nursing process
What is the nursing process – a holistic and systematic way to
assess patients etc.
Where does care planning fit in with this? Why is it important,
who is involved? (nurse, patient, MDT approach to care
delivery is needed).
For this section, a clear and concise overview of the importance
of a systematic approach (APIE) to nursing care delivery is
required. Discussion relating to how this can impact on the
management of your case studies disease with focus on self-care
strategies. The importance of MDT and family in promoting
self-care strategies needs to be included. What are self-care
strategies?
3. Planning and delivering care for patients involves a
collaborative approach, this includes the patient, carers, family,
nurse, MDT etc, the focus is on individualised care, holistic
care, person cantered care, patient focussed care/Link with the
evidence that supports why we do this. Link in with care
planning for patients with LTC’s and SMART goal setting…
LO2/3: Identify two potential problems for your patient and
state your goals (SMART GOALS)
Ensure you say why this is an issue and note the impact
What two problems are you focussing on?
Problem/SMART GOAL/Nursing interventions/Patient self-care
strategies…….
THIS IS AN EXAMPLE
Peter has Heart failure,62yrs, smokes, unable to work…. he
presented in hospital, he could have presented with an array of
problems for example, short of breath, fatigue, weakness,
oedema/swelling, low mood/anxiety, persistent cough, admits to
not understanding his medication and/or taking his medication
etc, pick two problems that you can focus on.
LO2/3: Rationale for care delivery in relation to identified
issues
This is the section where you justify why you are doing what
you are doing for the patient in relation to the nursing actions,
use the evidence from the latest guidance and evidence-based
articles to support your actions. For example, why do we
restrict fluids in patients with CHD, who says we do and what is
the guidance regarding the amount? How does this affect your
patient and what needs to be put in place to ensure this is
happening, i.e. fluid charts/measuring cups
4. A paragraph to explain the importance of empowering and
including the patient in their care planning and management
will cover the self-care actions section. Mention shared-
decision making. The impact self-empowerment has on patient’s
recovery time is well researched in the field of LTC.
THIS IS AN EXAMPLE
Sticking with the example: Plan the care for your problem, what
will you do as a nurse, what does Peter agree too? For example,
you will educate and advise, you will refer to smoking cessation
etc, Peter may well agree to keeping a smoking diary where he
can identify times and triggers that make him smoke more, Peter
may well agree to smoking cessation as well as nicotine
replacement etc. You need evidence to support your nursing
actions and Peters self-care actions too.
Conclusion
Summarise key points of your discussion/ Do not introduce new
evidence/facts

Case Study 3: Driving Ari Fleet Management with Real-Time
Analytics
Automotive Resources International®, better known as simply
ARI®, is the world's largest privately-held company for vehicle
fleet management services. ARI is headquartered in Mt. Laurel,
New Jersey and has 2,500 employees and offices throughout
North America, Europe, the UK, and Hong Kong. The company
manages more than 1,000,000 vehicles in the U.S., Canada,
Mexico, Puerto Rico and Europe.
Businesses that need vehicles for shipments (trucks, vans, cars,
ships, and rail cars) may choose to manage their own fleet of
vehicles or they may outsource fleet management to companies
such as ARI which specialize in these services. ARI manages
the entire life cycle and operation of a fleet of vehicles for its
customers, from up-front specification and acquisition to resale,
including financing, maintenance, fuel management, and risk
management services such as driver safety training and accident
management. ARI also maintains six call centers in North
America that operate 24/7, 365 days a year to support
customers' fleet operations by providing assistance regarding
repairs, breakdowns, accident response, preventive
maintenance, and other driver needs. These call centers handle
about 3.5 million calls per year from customers, drivers, and
suppliers who expect access to real-time actionable information.
Providing this information has become increasingly challenging.
7. Operating a single large commercial vehicle fleet generates high
volumes of complex data, such as data on fuel consumption,
maintenance, licensing, and compliance. A fuel transaction, for
example, requires data on state taxes paid, fuel grade, total sale,
amount sold, and time and place of purchase. A simple brake
job and preventive maintenance checkup generates dozens of
records for each component that is serviced. Each part and
service performed on a vehicle is tracked using American
Trucking Association codes. ARI collects and analyzes over
14,000 pieces of data per vehicle. Then multiply the data by
hundreds of fleets, some with up to 10,000 vehicles, all
operating simultaneously throughout the globe, and you'll have
an idea of the enormous volume of data ARI needs to manage,
both for itself and for its customers.
ARI provided its customers with detailed information about
their fleet operations, but the type of information it could
deliver was very limited. For example, ARI could generate
detailed reports on line-item expenditures, vehicle purchases,
maintenance records, and other operational information
presented as simple spreadsheets, charts, or graphs, but it was
not possible to analyze all the data to spot trends and make
recommendations. ARI was able to analyze data customer by
customer, but it was not able to aggregate data across its entire
customer base.
For instance, if ARI was managing a pharmaceutical company's
vehicle fleet, its information systems could not benchmark that
fleet's performance against others in the industry. That type of
problem required too much manual work and time, and still
didn't deliver the level of insight management thought was
possible.
What's more, in order to create reports, ARI had to go through
internal subject matter experts in various aspects of fleet
operations, who were called "reporting power users." Every
request for information was passed to these power users. A
8. request for a report would take 5 days to fill. If the report was
unsatisfactory, it would go back to the report writer to make
changes. ARI's process for analyzing its data was extremely
drawn out.
In mid-2011, ARI implemented SAP BusinessObjects Explorer
to give customers the enhanced ability to access data and run
their own reports. SAP BusinessObjects Explorer is a business
intelligence tool that enables business users to view, sort and
analyze business intelligence data. Users search through data
sources using an iTunes like interface. They do not have to
create queries to search the data and results are shown with a
chart that indicates the best information match. The graphical
representation of results changes as the user asks further
questions of the data.
In early 2012, ARI integrated SAP BusinessObjects Explorer
with HANA, SAP's in-memory computing platform that is
deployable as an on-premise appliance (hardware and software)
or in the cloud. HANA is optimized for performing real-time
analytics and handling very high volumes of operational and
transactional data in real time. HANA's in-memory analytics
queries data stored in random access memory (RAM) instead of
on a hard disk or flash storage.
Things started happening quickly after that. When ARI's
controller wanted an impact analysis of the company's top 10
customers, SAP HANA produced the result in 3 to 3 1/2
seconds. In ARI's old systems environment, this task would
have been assigned to a power user versed in using reporting
tools, specifications would have to be drawn up and a program
designed for that specific query, a process that would have
taken about 36 hours.
Using HANA, ARI is now able to quickly mine its vast data
resources and generate predictions based on the results. For
example, the company can produce precise figures on what it
9. costs to operate a fleet of a certain size over a particular route
across specific industries during a certain type of weather and
predict what the impact of changes in any of these variables.
And it can do so nearly as easily as providing customers with a
simple history of their expenditures on fuel. With such helpful
information ARI provides more value to its customers.
HANA has also reduced the time required for each transaction
handled by ARI's call centers—from the time a call center
staffer takes a call to retrieving and delivering the requested
information—by 5 percent. Since call center staff account for
40 percent of ARI's direct overhead, that time reduction
translates into major cost savings.
ARI plans to make some of these real-time reporting and
analytic capabilities available on mobile devices, which will
enable customers to instantly approve a variety of operational
procedures, such as authorizing maintenance repairs. Customers
will also be able to use the mobile tools for instant insight into
their fleet operations, down to a level of detail such as a
specific vehicle's tire history.

Case Study 4: Zappos
Tony Hsieh’s first entrepreneurial effort began at the age of 12
when he started his own custom button business. Realizing the
importance of advertising, Hsieh began marketing his business
to other kids through directories, and soon his profits soared to
a few hundred dollars a month. Throughout his adolescence,
Hsieh started several businesses, and by the time he was in
college he was making money selling pizzas out of his Harvard
dorm room. Another entrepreneurial student, Alfred Lin,bought
pizzas from Hsieh and resold them by the slice, making a nice
profit. Hsieh and Lin quickly became friends. After Harvard,
Hsieh founded Link Exchange in 1996, a company that helped
small businesses exchange banner ads. A mere two years later,
Hsieh sold Link Exchange to Microsoft for $265 million. Using
the profits from the sale, Hsieh and Lin formed a venture capital
company that invested in start-up businesses. One investment
12. that caught their attention was Zappos, an online retailer of
shoes. Both entrepreneurs viewed the $40 billion shoe market as
an opportunity they could not miss, and in 2000 Hsieh took over
as Zappos’ CEO with Lin as his chief financial officer.
Today, Zappos is leading its market and offering an enormous
selection of more than 90,000 styles of handbags, clothing, and
accessories for more than 500 brands. One reason for Zappos’
incredible success was Hsieh’s decision to use the advertising
and marketing budget for customer service, a tactic that would
not have worked before the Internet. Zappos’ passionate
customer service strategy encourages customers to order as
many sizes and styles of products as they want, ships them for
free, and offers free return shipping. Zappos encourages
customer communication, and its call center receives more than
5,000 calls a day with the longest call to date lasting more than
four hours. Zappos’ extensive inventory is stored in a
warehouse in Kentucky right next to a UPS shipping center.
Only available stock is listed on the website, and orders as late
as 11 p.m. are still guaranteed next-day delivery. To facilitate
supplier and partner relationships, Zappos built an extranet that
provides its vendors with all kinds of product information, such
as items sold, times sold, price, customer, and so on. Armed
with these kinds of details, suppliers can quickly change
manufacturing schedules to meet demand.
Zappos Culture
Along with valuing its partners and suppliers, Zappos also
places a great deal of value on its employee relationships.
Zappos employees have fun, and walking through the offices
you will see all kinds of things not normally seen in business
environments—bottle-cap pyramids, cotton-candy machines,
and bouncing balls. Building loyal employee relationships is a
critical success factor at Zappos, and to facilitate this
relationship the corporate headquarters are located in the same
building as the call center (where most employees work) in Las
13. Vegas. All employees receive 100 percent company-paid health
insurance along with a daily free lunch.
Of course, the Zappos culture does not work for everyone, and
the company pays to find the right employees through “The
Offer,” which extends to new employees the option of quitting
and receiving payment for time worked plus an additional
$1,000 bonus. Why the $1,000 bonus for quitting? Zappos
management believes that is a small price to pay to find those
employees who do not have the sense of commitment Zappos
requires. Less than 10 percent of new hires take The Offer.
Zappos’ unique culture stresses the following:
1. Delivering WOW through service
2. Embracing and driving change
3. Creating fun and a little weirdness
4. Being adventurous, creative, and open-minded
5. Pursuing growth and learning
6. Building open and honest relationships with communication
7. Building a positive team and family spirit
8. Doing more with less
9. Being passionate and determined
10. Being humble
Zappos’ Sale to Amazon
Amazon.com purchased Zappos for $880 million. Zappos
employees shared $40 million in cash and stock, and the Zappos
management team remained in place. Having access to
Amazon’s world-class warehouses and supply chain is sure to
catapult Zappos’ revenues, though many wonder whether the
Zappos culture will remain. It’ll be interesting to watch!19
