Instructions Financial challenges associated with changes to how healthcare organizations are reimbursed for healthcare services, the cost of implementing new technology and professionals to comply with federal requirements for electronic health records, and the increasing numbers of individuals who cannot pay for their healthcare represent only one issue for healthcare executives in the healthcare delivery system. But it has significant consequences for the viability and solvency of healthcare organizations. Healthcare executives don’t have a crystal ball; however, they do engage in forecasting the future based on what is currently known and examination of trends (Lee, 2015). To do this type of forecasting, healthcare executives are demonstrating techniques found in anticipatory management. According to their seminal research, Ashley and Morrison (1997) reported there are severe consequences for not anticipating future trends in a rapidly changing and complex society. The anticipatory management process they describe begins with scanning the environment to identify issues; creating issues briefs to inform stakeholders; prioritizing issues; assembling the team of experts; creating, implementing, and evaluating action plans and outcomes; and adjusting the course when necessary. Last week, you compared healthcare delivery and costs in the United States with those in developed countries. This week, you will focus U.S. healthcare executives and how they prioritize the challenges confronting them to minimize the impact to their organizations. As you prepare your assignment, consider these questions: What challenges you have experienced in the healthcare workplace or when you have accessed your own healthcare provider? Have you observed changes to how your personal health information is gathered and documented? What technology is now being used which may be new to your workplace? Were you required to take additional training in your current healthcare position due to the implementation of new technology? Have you experienced a shortage of healthcare personnel in your workplace or at your healthcare provider’s office? What effect have these situations had on you as the employee and patient? After your examination of current literature on the trends, issues, and challenges for healthcare executives and their organization's review Ashley and Morrison’s seminal article (1997) on anticipatory management and utilize the sample chart shown for this assignment. You may recreate this four-column table in a Word document and insert your issues/trends, identify which organizational area is/will be impacted by each issue/trend, and provide your rationale for the priority level you assigned each issue/trend. Be sure to use a title page for this assignment and a reference page in APA format. You will add rows to your tabl.

Instructions Develop an iconographic essay. Select a work from this module to write the essay on. Utilize the objectives and above information to develop the statement. The essay must include a thesis statement/introduction, supporting body, and conclusion. The conclusion should provide a synthesis of the statements and thesis into a final idea about what the audience should remember and take away from the assignment. List the objects and subjects included in the painting Provide an iconographic definition (ala dictionary or glossary for each item) Identify the narrative source for each item (artist invention, poem, narrative, biblical, greco-roman, other presence, real life historical or cultural artifact as symbol, other artworks and ideas as symbols, etc.) ( ex. Alexander the Great as a symbol; American Flag as a symbol; Greek mythology as symbols; The hammer and sickle in Russia, the american eagle, a soldier, etc.) Is there more than one context for the iconographic or symbolic representation of the idea? How many contexts or roles is each symbolic object fulfilling in presenting, adding, or relaying meaning about the subject; (current age vs. past age; multiple metaphors; multiple layers of ideas etc.) Symbols and Icons in different contexts - define how the symbols and subjects make one idea serve another idea (A Greek god is rebranded and used in Rome. What does this act mean for Rome to use a Greek Religious concept) What do the symbols mean in the age, or multiple ages, and how are we supposed to connect to them in the context of the work? - ex. How are greco-roman subject and symbols used and perceived in a Renaissance age? Why would someone in the Renaissance care about Ancient Greco-Roman gods and subjects, what’s in it for a Renaissance Italian or Renaissance Italy for that matter? Analysis through Iconology This kind of analysis usually is most useful for narrative works and art before the Modern period. Non-objective art or art with arbitrary subjects (such as DADA) don't work as well with this kind of analysis because narratives and conventional symbols are not a part of these works. Here you will look for a particular element that occurs in the object (an object, action, gesture, pose) and explain either: when that same element occurs in other objects through history and how this object’s representation of it is unique, or what that element means generally in art or to art historians—in other words, the traditional association an art historian might make between that depiction and some other thing. The following video provides an example of Iconological analysis. The video speaks to the meaning of the gestures, iconography, meaning of certain types of depiction, and other narrative imagery and symbolism related to those narrative elements. https://youtu.be/rKhfFBbVtFg If you are confused, read Erwin Panofsky’s essays on iconology and iconography, in which he defines these terms more extensively.

Instructions Communities do not exist in a bubble. Often changes made in the larger society, driven by technology, have an unexpected effect on local communities. Consider the effects of the advancements in transportation technologies on communities. Routes of transportation have evolved from water to train to the road and then to air. Each of these advancements led to job displacement and changes in travel routes. In the United States, prior to the mid-1800s, the communities that thrived had water access and ports where the exchange of goods and services occurred. With the building of the transcontinental railway and the growth of transportation by rail, the communities that thrived had train depots. With the building of major highways in the 1900s, access to those roads became critical to survival. With each advancement, local communities were impacted, such that many communities that grew around train depots became ghost towns full of poverty, homelessness, and despair once train travel was no longer the primary means of human transportation. In this assignment, you are asked to create a presentation on one of the following topics: Green Energy Globalization Communication Technology Remote Elementary Education Remote High School Education Remote Work You can create your presentation in your choice of presentation media. For example, you could choose to create a PowerPoint presentation, a video, or use Prezi. (refer to the Unit 1 assignment) If you choose to use video, you are required to supply a script as well as the URL of the video. In your presentation, you must address the following: Describe the specific technological development and its association with your chosen topic. Explain why you chose that topic and the technological advancement associated with it. Discuss which demographic (income, age, sexual preference, ethnicity) and/or geographic feature (urban, suburban, rural) might be most affected by the changes.

Instructions Beginning in the 1770s, an “Age of Revolution “ swept through the Atlantic World. These were inspired in different ways by the political and philosophical ideas of the Enlightenment. The goal of every revolution is change, but not every revolution succeeds in creating change that is lasting, or that makes life better for everyone in society. In this milestone, you'll research a revolution and draw some conclusions about that revolution's ultimate outcome. Delivery: 5-7 paragraph essay and APA style reference list. Instructions: First, choose one revolution to study: French Revolution Haitian Revolution American Revolution List of suggested sources for ALL three revolutions Then, in a 5-7 paragraph essay, answer the following questions using detail and evidence. Be sure to cite all of your evidence using APA in-text citations and an APA format reference list at the end: Provide some background on the revolution you chose (1-2 paragraphs): When did it begin and how?
