Summary of Skills
For the development of an organization to be successful and effectively achieve set goals and objectives, strong management and organization skills will be required (Bateman & Snell, 2007). Our Team A brings a broad spectrum of skills and talents coming from life, educational and work-related experiences. Each member of the team possesses unique skill sets that will bring fresh ideas, techniques and creative solutions to challenges in the development of our consulting firm.
A thorough evaluation of our team member’s skills, suggests that our key strengths lie within teamwork and dedication, creating presentations, critical thinking, problem-solving techniques, communication, research, and observations. With these skills, this team will be able to successfully achieve most tasks necessary in the development of a consulting firm. This team will need to use these skills to collaborate efforts in a cooperative manner to create, plan, develop and accomplish the goals of the consulting firm. This evaluation also portrays a strong dedication to learning and improving which is beneficial in the development of new skills that may be needed.
Most members of our team currently have educational and professional experience that proves an intense desire to improve and advocate change and educate communities to collaborate an effort enhancing the lives of individuals. This desire will effectively promote positive changes both within communities as well as at a societal level. The team’s overall commitment is to meet basic human needs through education, focusing on identification of challenges and prevention, as well as assist in overcoming personal and organizational obstacles that individuals may face. Our team is committed to improving the overall quality of life through advocacy and action.
The first type of consulting firm that we could possibly work with would be a human services/independent living consulting program. This program would collaborate with a client’s care givers, doctors and independent care organizations to assist in facilitating a client’s independence and improve or maintain health. This consulting firm would collaborate efforts to create an independent, long-term care plan that will enhance the develop of daily living skills, educate on services and programs available, exercise the right to make healthy living choices, and encourage pro-active involvement of all care-giving professionals in the pursuit of personal growth, presence, and participation in the long term care process. This program will improve and emphasis respect and dignity through the promotion of independence.
PLEASE ADD THE OTHER TWO TYPES HERE!
The types of problems these consulting firms might solve.
Inflexible regulatory and legal issues create competitive obstacles human services providers face when offering health services to communities.

Job Oppurtunities
Indirect care settings are defined as services that are related to patient care but do not require interactions between the healthcare provider and the patient. There is a vast amount of jobs and professions related to Indirect care that make this an extremely explosive market for those seeking to join the medical field. Indirect care organizations are organizations such as pharmaceutical companies, insurance carriers, health information technologists and many more. Job oppurtunities for those seeking a degree and employment in the field of health care administration could seek out jobs in these fields to include the Director of Quality control, the chief executive officer, the chief financial officer etc. These positions are extremely impactful on the product and services these organizations provide and allow them to better support direct care facilities in providing safe, quality patient care with the latest and most up to date services and technologies. While ultimately, all companies are seeking to make profits in order to enhance their company and pay their employees it is important to look at how indirect care supports direct care oganizations.
Correleation
Although not directly involved in the intracicies of patient care, there is a direct correleation to the work done in indirect care facilities with direct care facilities. One of the most major sector of indirect care, and likely the fastest growing is the field of Healthcare Information Technology. Healthcare information technology or HIT is defined as “the application of information processing involving both computer hardware and software that deals with the storage, retrieval and use of healthcare information, data, and knowledge for communication and decision making.” (Alotaibi & Frederico., 2017). One way that healthcare technology influences direct care organizations is through the use of automated reminders and alerts in computers that support clinicians and support staff with safety nets in the clinical decision making process. For example, hard stops in Electronic health records, which are stops implemented that cause a user to address the issue at hand before continuing with care have been shown to decrease prescription errors by 22% (Feldman et al., 2018).
Another major implementation that Healthcare information technology has implemented is the development of the Electronic Health Record. The electronic health record has been a major introduction in the world of healthcare that has improved the quality of care, patient outcomes, safety and reduced medication errors, redundant testing, and improved overall communication between providers. With their creation, medical organizations that participate in direct care have been able to significantly increase their productivity, abandon old outdated and dangerous paper charting and have been provi ...

Programmatic purposes and outcomes

Programmatic purposes and outcomes
Select and discuss three programmatic purposes and outcomes that should be evaluated. In your discussion, provide the rationale for the purposes and outcomes selected. It will be assumed the purposes and outcomes selected were influenced by the program being evaluated.
The program that I will be discussing is human service programs. In the abiding endeavor to enhance human service programs, service providers, policy makers and funders are more and more recognizing the significance of thorough program evaluations. They want to know what the programs achieve, what they spend, and how they must be operated to attain maximum cost efficiency. They want to recognize which programs function for which groups, and they need endings based on proof, as opposed to impassioned pleas and testimonials. The purposes should state the extensive, extensive range result that maintains the mission of the program, including content information areas, performance prospects, and values anticipated of program graduates. Purposes can be stated in wider and more stirring language than outcomes that have to be measurable and specific. Outcome is the reason nonprofit organizations struggle to build capacity and deliver programs. Measurement of outcomes is the systematic way of assessing the extent to which a program has attained its intended results.
The programmatic purposes and outcomes that should be evaluated include:
Programmatic purposes
· To monitor functions for the Health and Human Services department.
Without departments, the purpose or goals of human services would be very hard to fulfill. Human services is a very large sector that entails a wide range of skills, knowledge and disciplines focused on enhancing the well being of human both collectively and individually. Just like there are a lot of sectors in human services, so too there are a huge variety of functions of the human service programs that need to be evaluated so as to accomplish the purpose of the program (Connell, Kubisch, Schorr & Weiss, 1995). One of the programmatic purposes of human service programs is to monitor functions for the Health and Human Services department. Any department or even sector requires frequent checks to make sure that it is functioning well and according to the purpose. This purpose is very crucial in the execution of the human service program goals. It needs to be evaluated to make sure that the functions of the health and human service department are in line with the programmatic purposes of the program.
· Assessing internal control over compliance requirements to provide reasonable assurance.
The compliance requirements are very crucial in every program as they make sure that the program is in line with its goals and makes sure it works towards achieving its stipulated outcomes. This purpose needs to be evaluated to m ...

Healthy People 2020
Healthy People was a call to action and an attempt to set health goals for the United States for the next 10 years.
Healthy People 2000 established 3 general goals:
Increase the span of healthy life.
Reduce health disparities.
Create access to preventive services for all.
Healthy People 2010 introduced 2 general goals:
Increase quality and years of healthy life.
Eliminate health disparities.
Practical Policy for Preventive Services
The U.S. health care system faces significant challenges that clearly indicate the urgent need for reform.
There is broad evidence that Americans often do not get the care they need even though the United States spends more money per person on health care than any other nation in the world.
Preventive care is underutilized, resulting in higher spending on complex, advanced diseases.
Practical Policy for Preventive Services
Patients with chronic diseases too often do not receive proven and effective treatments such as drug therapies or self management services to help them more effectively manage their conditions.
These problems are exacerbated by a lack of coordination of care for patients with chronic diseases.
Reforming our health care delivery system to improve the quality and value of care is essential to address escalating costs, poor quality, and increasing numbers of Americans without health insurance coverage.
Why policies need to be developed?
Basic needs are not being met (e.g., People are not receiving the health care they need)
People are not being treated fairly (e.g., People with disabilities do not have access to public places)
Resources are distributed unfairly (e.g., Educational services are more limited in neighborhoods of concentrated poverty)
Why policies need to be developed?
Current policies or laws are not enforced or effective (e.g., The current laws on clean water are neither enforced nor effective)
Proposed changes in policies or laws would be harmful (e.g., A plan to eliminate flextime in a large business would reduce parents' ability to be with their children)
Existing or emerging conditions pose a threat to public health, safety, education, or well-being (e.g., New threats from terrorist activity)

Community Coalition
1. Choose 5 partnerships to engage and explain why you would invite each of these people//organizations to be a part of the coalition.
The creation of community health promotion and education programs takes into consideration several agencies or parties who help in the achievement of the desired health goals. Each of the partners will address its roles using different approaches depending on their area of expertise. This is an important factor to consider as different institutions address health promotion using different approaches and perspectives. The overall outcome from the contribution of every partner should be able to restore and promote the physical, emotional, spiritual, psychological, and social wellness of the community in relation to the health issue being suffered (Minelli, & Breckon, 2009). Chronic diseases are currently the leading causes of death in the community due to their complexity and the severe effects on human health. The community health promotion and education program will be provided by the ‘Health Concerns Coalition’ which will be made up of the following partners; community religious groups, Cancer Supportive Care Foundation, an association of cancer-survivor patients, nutritional organizations, and the local authority.
1. Cancer Supportive Care Foundation – This is an important part of the coalition as it will offer technical expertise in education and diagnosis of chronic diseases. The foundation team will include medical experts who will diagnose the community members of any chronic illnesses. Examinations for diseases such as breast cancer, prostate cancer, diabetes and blood pressure will be conducted by this partner as they will provide modern machines needed for the diagnosis of chronic illnesses.

Final Exam
Spend up to the next 2 hours to complete the following task, to the best of your ability. This exam is worth 100 points. There is no specific word count requirement.
Topic: Vitamin C - https://vitamincfoundation.org/squares/
Your submission should be in the form of written paragraphs, but you will not be evaluated on the quality of writing beyond the minimum necessary to understand what you are communicating. Your submission does not need to be as structured as the analysis assignments submitted during the semester. You should answer parts 1-5 of the task individually, each in paragraph form. Number each answer to correspond to parts 1-5, and then references at the end.
1. In one paragraph, summarize the product or service and describe what it is supposed to do.
2. In one paragraph, identify and clearly state at least one scientific claim being made about the product or service.
3. Identify and clearly describe at least two sources that are purported to support the claim. Each source should be described in a single paragraph (i.e., two paragraphs total). You must provide references for these sources (as well as any other that you use to complete the other tasks) at the end of your document, in the same format that you have been using throughout the semester.
4. Briefly evaluate the quality of the sources and whether or not the sources appear to support the claim. This section may be anywhere from one to several paragraphs long, as needed.
◦ State whether or not you believe the claim is justified, correct, and/or relevant based on your overall evaluation. This evaluation must take into account the sources you identified and evaluated (in steps 3 and 4).
◦ You may utilize sources that do not support the claim in your overall evaluation (i.e., sources in addition to the two from step 3).
◦ Your evaluation should explicitly consider at least two logical fallacies. These may be fallacies that you believe are present, or ones that could have been an issue but that you determined were not.
5. Based on your review of the product or service, summarize in one paragraph when use of the product or service might be beneficial: who might benefit and under what circumstances.
You are free to draw on prior knowledge, your textbook, and electronic resources, but should indicate when you have done so by using the same referencing methods utilized during the semester.
You may not use other humans. Communication in any form (verbal, physical, or electronic) with another human being during this exam will be considered academic misconduct and result in an automatic grade of zero. The sole exception is if you have an urgent issue that you communicate to an instructor. Your instructors will not provide assistance with this exam or the resources you utilize to complete it.
Your final document should be uploaded to the Assignments link provided through Brightspace. After verifying that the document has successfully uploaded, you are free to lea.

IV. Implementation Plan
Assess the factors that are likely to affect the implementation of your recommended activities
Many stroke patients require rehabilitation after their hospitalization and many patients get readmitted from post-acute care facilities, educating these facilities could decrease the readmission rate however rehabilitation facilities are often short-staffed and may not have money for education amongst the staff
Identify evidence-based rationales to propose how you will address them, incorporating your identified change theory. Your plan should encompass the following with evidence to support your rationale:
Technological challenges
Stroke patients require adequate follow-up care with their health provider team, tele-health is a great way to provide these follow-up appointments however stroke patients may not be able to navigate computers to be able to do these appointments as they frequently have deficits.
Stroke health care providers would have to learn how to use tele-health and there may be push back to using it due to health care providers typically using hands on assessment skills, they may not find assessing patients this way adequate. Finding a group of health care providers that are willing to start treating patients this way is the first step.
Institutional structures
Changes in hospitals do not happen overnight. At my state run hospital it seems to take forever to get any changes made. Implementing education regarding how to reduce stroke readmissions would require research and then approval from many different committees to even be approved for implementation. Once approved then it has to be sent all to all hospital staff involved. Examples of committees that a hospital will have and that any changes would have to go through are finance, safety and quality, strategic planning, and audit and compliance committee (Price, 2018).
Strategies for building buy-in-among different stakeholders, including nursing
Doctors, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, physical therapists, social workers, and case managers will need to be on board with the change process. Historically nurses have a hard time with change.
Financial trends and anticipation of the availability of human resource and project funding
Implementing tele-health and training to decrease stroke readmission, mostly education and new ways to check that everything a patient needs, will cost money which the institution will have to be prepared to put into their budget. Institutions get penalized financially for readmis ...

SMART GOAL
Leadership SMART Goal Leadership goal Setting a goal is important since it really gives clarity to a person’s vision. A goal specifies the outcome of what one wants to accomplish (Jay, 2011). Developing a SMART leadership goal ensures that one’s goal is actually focused and offers a clear idea of what one wants to accomplish. In essence, a goal that is SMART makes it simpler for one to come up with pertinent activities, to measure his or her progress towards accomplishing the goal, and know when he or she has met his/her goal (Jay, 2011). For me, setting a SMART goal will make what I want tangible since I am declaring to myself that this is really what I want. Basically, the SMART goal will help me to focus my everyday energy towards making my dreams and wishes come true. My set goal is SMART in the following way: Specific: Haughey (2014) pointed out that a specific goal has to be focused, detailed, and stated clearly. My goal is specific enough; it is to work in interdisciplinary/interprofessional teams by Week 10 (as selected from the Institute of Medicine (IOM)). In these teams, I should be able to work with other professionals to offering the best care available to transplant patients and help the patients before the transplant, during the transplant, and after. To accomplish this goal, I will greet and introduce myself to various health professionals in the Transplant Services Department so familiarize my self with the department and the transplant of patients and cooperate, collaborate, communicate, and integrate care in teams to ensure that care is continuous and reliable. In the future health care system, health professionals will have to understand the advantage of high levels of cooperation, coordination, and standardization to guarantee excellence, continuity, safety, and reliability. In short, they will have to think of themselves as a team working in and contributing to a larger system. As Don Berwick, Institute for Healthcare Improvement, said at the summit, The team members integrate their observations, bodies of expertise, and spheres of decision making. Thus this competency refers to the various disciplines working together to address the needs of patients. Interdisciplinary teams are critical in dealing with the increasing complexity of care, coordinating and responding to multiple patient needs, keeping pace with the demands of new technology, responding to the demands of payors, and delivering care across settings Teams tend to reduce the utilization of redundant or duplicate services, and they also tend to develop more creative solutions to complex problems because of their members’ diverse academic backgrounds and experience. Patients needing chronic care, critical acute care, geriatric care, and care at the end of life require smooth team functioning because of the complexity of their needs. Different means and settings for delivering care, such as managed care, community-based care, rehabilitation centers,.

Purpose
Explain the concept of a knowledge worker.
Define and explain nursing informatics and highlight the role of a nurse leader as a knowledge worker.
The concept of a knowledge worker
The term “knowledge worker” was first coined by Peter Drucker. Ducker defined knowledge workers as high-level workers who apply theoretical and analytical knowledge, acquired through formal training, to develop products and services (CFI, 2019). He emphasized that due to the high level of productivity and creativity of knowledge worker, that they would be the most valuable assets in the 21st century organization. Professionals that can be referred to as knowledge worker includes engineers, pharmacists, architects, financial analysts, public accountants, physicians, scientists, design thinkers, and lawyers. Furthermore, knowledge workers have a high degree of expertise, experience, education and the primary purpose of their jobs involve the distribution, creation and application of knowledge.

Nursing Informatics
Nursing Informatics is a subset of informatics, specific to the nursing field and the role of the nurse in the healthcare setting. There has been several interpretation of nursing informatics. The American Nurses Association (ANA), identified nursing informatics as a specialty that integrates nursing, science, computer science, and information science to manage and communicate data, information, and knowledge in nursing practice (ANA, 2001, pg.17).

Nurse leader as a knowledge worker.
A nurse leader is one who inspire others to work together to achieve a common goal, for instance enhanced patient care or satisfaction. All nurses are called to nurse leadership, however there are different levels of nurse leadership. Nurse leaders are expected to help the organization to fulfill the organization’s mission, vision, values, and strategies to achieve long-range plans. Nurse leaders part take in policy setting, overseeing quality measures are carried out, accountability for overall quality of patient care delivery, staff satisfaction and organizational outcomes. For a nurse leader as a knowledge worker to be productive in an organization, the nurse leader must understand that knowledge work requires continuous learning on the part of the knowledge worker, but equally continuous teaching on the part of the knowledge worker. Having said that, a knowledge worker nurse leader will depend hugely on evidenced based practice to be productive in a healthcare organization. The use of EBP by knowledge worker nurse leader will require learning and teaching. Most healthcare organizations or hospitals rely on evidenced based.

This template is formatted according to APA Style guidelines, with one inch top, bottom, left, and right margins; Times New Roman font in 12 point; double-spaced; aligned flush left; and paragraphs indented 5-7 spaces. The page number appears one inch from the right edge on the first line of each page, excluding the Figures page.
In this introduction, you will describe the purpose of your paper (the first rubric element) – in other words, what your paper sets out to do. This video provides some guidance on how to structure an introductory paragraph. In this case, you are providing a microeconomic analysis of a particular company and you will analyze different microeconomic criteria related to your company and the market in which it operates. This analysis will then inform your recommendations for how the company can be successful in the future. Be sure to provide some specifics about what you will be analyzing so the reader knows what to expect – use the outline provided in the Final Project Document as your guide. Lastly, make sure that the company you choose is well suited for this kind of analysis. Please see the suggested list provided in your course for ideas and email your instructor your choice. Any company not on the list will need prior approval.History of the Company
Use headings and subheadings to organize the sections of your paper. The first heading level is formatted with initial caps and is centered on the page. Do not start a new page for each heading. This first heading aligns with the second rubric element which gives an overview of the company’s history. Be sure to personalize this heading to reflect your company. In this section, include you will summarize the history of the firm and also provide an overview of what the firm does and what goods/services it sells. Be sure to include sufficient detail here. Your company’s website is the best place to find this information. This section should be about one page long.
Supply and Demand Conditions
There are two rubric elements to be included in this section and combined they should be about 2 pages in length, perhaps longer if you present more than one graph/table. The first element asks you to evaluate the trends in demand over time and explain their impact on the industry and on the firm. To do this, you can consider market demand. Market demand is the demand by all the consumers of a given good or service. Find out who your customers are and provide detail on them. Use annual sales data to find out how much of the product is purchased. Here is a video explaining each of the following determinants of market demand that you could examine for your company’s market:
· Income
· Price of related goods
· Tastes
· Population and Demographics
· Expected F.

The health of freedom in American society today
Freedom ( choice, lack of coercion, liberalism, democracy isn’t the only way to freedom but is an outward expression of freedom) in the relation to democracy, how to over throw tyranny and terror (sh)
Democracy is ruled by the majority, though this is in place in American society today it deffinelty paves the way for free thought and choice among individuals. More fair than one person’s rule, its an collective rule by the community.
Elections (frequent elections and the more opportunity to do so is an expression of freedom)
Voting is one of the pillars of democracy and a modern view of the “good life” (Lesson3)
Though there are minor restrictions there such as age and criminal history or mental health (Political equality= they should be no restriction on race or gender)
Different view points (political positions) there must be choice
And free market media ( Truth=informed choice) no political censorship

Programmatic purposes and outcomes
Select and discuss three programmatic purposes and outcomes that should be evaluated. In your discussion, provide the rationale for the purposes and outcomes selected. It will be assumed the purposes and outcomes selected were influenced by the program being evaluated.
The program that I will be discussing is human service programs. In the abiding endeavor to enhance human service programs, service providers, policy makers and funders are more and more recognizing the significance of thorough program evaluations. They want to know what the programs achieve, what they spend, and how they must be operated to attain maximum cost efficiency. They want to recognize which programs function for which groups, and they need endings based on proof, as opposed to impassioned pleas and testimonials. The purposes should state the extensive, extensive range result that maintains the mission of the program, including content information areas, performance prospects, and values anticipated of program graduates. Purposes can be stated in wider and more stirring language than outcomes that have to be measurable and specific. Outcome is the reason nonprofit organizations struggle to build capacity and deliver programs. Measurement of outcomes is the systematic way of assessing the extent to which a program has attained its intended results.
The programmatic purposes and outcomes that should be evaluated include:
Programmatic purposes
· To monitor functions for the Health and Human Services department.
Without departments, the purpose or goals of human services would be very hard to fulfill. Human services is a very large sector that entails a wide range of skills, knowledge and disciplines focused on enhancing the well being of human both collectively and individually. Just like there are a lot of sectors in human services, so too there are a huge variety of functions of the human service programs that need to be evaluated so as to accomplish the purpose of the program (Connell, Kubisch, Schorr & Weiss, 1995). One of the programmatic purposes of human service programs is to monitor functions for the Health and Human Services department. Any department or even sector requires frequent checks to make sure that it is functioning well and according to the purpose. This purpose is very crucial in the execution of the human service program goals. It needs to be evaluated to make sure that the functions of the health and human service department are in line with the programmatic purposes of the program.
· Assessing internal control over compliance requirements to provide reasonable assurance.
The compliance requirements are very crucial in every program as they make sure that the program is in line with its goals and makes sure it works towards achieving its stipulated outcomes. This purpose needs to be evaluated to m ...

Healthy People 2020
Healthy People was a call to action and an attempt to set health goals for the United States for the next 10 years.
Healthy People 2000 established 3 general goals:
Increase the span of healthy life.
Reduce health disparities.
Create access to preventive services for all.
Healthy People 2010 introduced 2 general goals:
Increase quality and years of healthy life.
Eliminate health disparities.
Practical Policy for Preventive Services
The U.S. health care system faces significant challenges that clearly indicate the urgent need for reform.
There is broad evidence that Americans often do not get the care they need even though the United States spends more money per person on health care than any other nation in the world.
Preventive care is underutilized, resulting in higher spending on complex, advanced diseases.
Practical Policy for Preventive Services
Patients with chronic diseases too often do not receive proven and effective treatments such as drug therapies or self management services to help them more effectively manage their conditions.
These problems are exacerbated by a lack of coordination of care for patients with chronic diseases.
Reforming our health care delivery system to improve the quality and value of care is essential to address escalating costs, poor quality, and increasing numbers of Americans without health insurance coverage.
Why policies need to be developed?
Basic needs are not being met (e.g., People are not receiving the health care they need)
People are not being treated fairly (e.g., People with disabilities do not have access to public places)
Resources are distributed unfairly (e.g., Educational services are more limited in neighborhoods of concentrated poverty)
Why policies need to be developed?
Current policies or laws are not enforced or effective (e.g., The current laws on clean water are neither enforced nor effective)
Proposed changes in policies or laws would be harmful (e.g., A plan to eliminate flextime in a large business would reduce parents' ability to be with their children)
Existing or emerging conditions pose a threat to public health, safety, education, or well-being (e.g., New threats from terrorist activity)

Community Coalition
1. Choose 5 partnerships to engage and explain why you would invite each of these people//organizations to be a part of the coalition.
The creation of community health promotion and education programs takes into consideration several agencies or parties who help in the achievement of the desired health goals. Each of the partners will address its roles using different approaches depending on their area of expertise. This is an important factor to consider as different institutions address health promotion using different approaches and perspectives. The overall outcome from the contribution of every partner should be able to restore and promote the physical, emotional, spiritual, psychological, and social wellness of the community in relation to the health issue being suffered (Minelli, & Breckon, 2009). Chronic diseases are currently the leading causes of death in the community due to their complexity and the severe effects on human health. The community health promotion and education program will be provided by the ‘Health Concerns Coalition’ which will be made up of the following partners; community religious groups, Cancer Supportive Care Foundation, an association of cancer-survivor patients, nutritional organizations, and the local authority.
1. Cancer Supportive Care Foundation – This is an important part of the coalition as it will offer technical expertise in education and diagnosis of chronic diseases. The foundation team will include medical experts who will diagnose the community members of any chronic illnesses. Examinations for diseases such as breast cancer, prostate cancer, diabetes and blood pressure will be conducted by this partner as they will provide modern machines needed for the diagnosis of chronic illnesses.

Final Exam
Spend up to the next 2 hours to complete the following task, to the best of your ability. This exam is worth 100 points. There is no specific word count requirement.
Topic: Vitamin C - https://vitamincfoundation.org/squares/
Your submission should be in the form of written paragraphs, but you will not be evaluated on the quality of writing beyond the minimum necessary to understand what you are communicating. Your submission does not need to be as structured as the analysis assignments submitted during the semester. You should answer parts 1-5 of the task individually, each in paragraph form. Number each answer to correspond to parts 1-5, and then references at the end.
1. In one paragraph, summarize the product or service and describe what it is supposed to do.
2. In one paragraph, identify and clearly state at least one scientific claim being made about the product or service.
3. Identify and clearly describe at least two sources that are purported to support the claim. Each source should be described in a single paragraph (i.e., two paragraphs total). You must provide references for these sources (as well as any other that you use to complete the other tasks) at the end of your document, in the same format that you have been using throughout the semester.
4. Briefly evaluate the quality of the sources and whether or not the sources appear to support the claim. This section may be anywhere from one to several paragraphs long, as needed.
◦ State whether or not you believe the claim is justified, correct, and/or relevant based on your overall evaluation. This evaluation must take into account the sources you identified and evaluated (in steps 3 and 4).
◦ You may utilize sources that do not support the claim in your overall evaluation (i.e., sources in addition to the two from step 3).
◦ Your evaluation should explicitly consider at least two logical fallacies. These may be fallacies that you believe are present, or ones that could have been an issue but that you determined were not.
5. Based on your review of the product or service, summarize in one paragraph when use of the product or service might be beneficial: who might benefit and under what circumstances.
You are free to draw on prior knowledge, your textbook, and electronic resources, but should indicate when you have done so by using the same referencing methods utilized during the semester.
You may not use other humans. Communication in any form (verbal, physical, or electronic) with another human being during this exam will be considered academic misconduct and result in an automatic grade of zero. The sole exception is if you have an urgent issue that you communicate to an instructor. Your instructors will not provide assistance with this exam or the resources you utilize to complete it.

IV. Implementation Plan
Assess the factors that are likely to affect the implementation of your recommended activities
Many stroke patients require rehabilitation after their hospitalization and many patients get readmitted from post-acute care facilities, educating these facilities could decrease the readmission rate however rehabilitation facilities are often short-staffed and may not have money for education amongst the staff
Identify evidence-based rationales to propose how you will address them, incorporating your identified change theory. Your plan should encompass the following with evidence to support your rationale:
Technological challenges
Stroke patients require adequate follow-up care with their health provider team, tele-health is a great way to provide these follow-up appointments however stroke patients may not be able to navigate computers to be able to do these appointments as they frequently have deficits.
Stroke health care providers would have to learn how to use tele-health and there may be push back to using it due to health care providers typically using hands on assessment skills, they may not find assessing patients this way adequate. Finding a group of health care providers that are willing to start treating patients this way is the first step.
Institutional structures
Changes in hospitals do not happen overnight. At my state run hospital it seems to take forever to get any changes made. Implementing education regarding how to reduce stroke readmissions would require research and then approval from many different committees to even be approved for implementation. Once approved then it has to be sent all to all hospital staff involved. Examples of committees that a hospital will have and that any changes would have to go through are finance, safety and quality, strategic planning, and audit and compliance committee (Price, 2018).
Strategies for building buy-in-among different stakeholders, including nursing
Doctors, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, physical therapists, social workers, and case managers will need to be on board with the change process. Historically nurses have a hard time with change.
Financial trends and anticipation of the availability of human resource and project funding
Implementing tele-health and training to decrease stroke readmission, mostly education and new ways to check that everything a patient needs, will cost money which the institution will have to be prepared to put into their budget. Institutions get penalized financially for readmis ...

SMART GOAL
Leadership SMART Goal Leadership goal Setting a goal is important since it really gives clarity to a person’s vision. A goal specifies the outcome of what one wants to accomplish (Jay, 2011). Developing a SMART leadership goal ensures that one’s goal is actually focused and offers a clear idea of what one wants to accomplish. In essence, a goal that is SMART makes it simpler for one to come up with pertinent activities, to measure his or her progress towards accomplishing the goal, and know when he or she has met his/her goal (Jay, 2011). For me, setting a SMART goal will make what I want tangible since I am declaring to myself that this is really what I want. Basically, the SMART goal will help me to focus my everyday energy towards making my dreams and wishes come true. My set goal is SMART in the following way: Specific: Haughey (2014) pointed out that a specific goal has to be focused, detailed, and stated clearly. My goal is specific enough; it is to work in interdisciplinary/interprofessional teams by Week 10 (as selected from the Institute of Medicine (IOM)). In these teams, I should be able to work with other professionals to offering the best care available to transplant patients and help the patients before the transplant, during the transplant, and after. To accomplish this goal, I will greet and introduce myself to various health professionals in the Transplant Services Department so familiarize my self with the department and the transplant of patients and cooperate, collaborate, communicate, and integrate care in teams to ensure that care is continuous and reliable. In the future health care system, health professionals will have to understand the advantage of high levels of cooperation, coordination, and standardization to guarantee excellence, continuity, safety, and reliability. In short, they will have to think of themselves as a team working in and contributing to a larger system. As Don Berwick, Institute for Healthcare Improvement, said at the summit, The team members integrate their observations, bodies of expertise, and spheres of decision making. Thus this competency refers to the various disciplines working together to address the needs of patients. Interdisciplinary teams are critical in dealing with the increasing complexity of care, coordinating and responding to multiple patient needs, keeping pace with the demands of new technology, responding to the demands of payors, and delivering care across settings Teams tend to reduce the utilization of redundant or duplicate services, and they also tend to develop more creative solutions to complex problems because of their members’ diverse academic backgrounds and experience. Patients needing chronic care, critical acute care, geriatric care, and care at the end of life require smooth team functioning because of the complexity of their needs. Different means and settings for delivering care, such as managed care, community-based care, rehabilitation centers,.

Purpose
Explain the concept of a knowledge worker.
Define and explain nursing informatics and highlight the role of a nurse leader as a knowledge worker.
The concept of a knowledge worker
The term “knowledge worker” was first coined by Peter Drucker. Ducker defined knowledge workers as high-level workers who apply theoretical and analytical knowledge, acquired through formal training, to develop products and services (CFI, 2019). He emphasized that due to the high level of productivity and creativity of knowledge worker, that they would be the most valuable assets in the 21st century organization. Professionals that can be referred to as knowledge worker includes engineers, pharmacists, architects, financial analysts, public accountants, physicians, scientists, design thinkers, and lawyers. Furthermore, knowledge workers have a high degree of expertise, experience, education and the primary purpose of their jobs involve the distribution, creation and application of knowledge.

Nursing Informatics
Nursing Informatics is a subset of informatics, specific to the nursing field and the role of the nurse in the healthcare setting. There has been several interpretation of nursing informatics. The American Nurses Association (ANA), identified nursing informatics as a specialty that integrates nursing, science, computer science, and information science to manage and communicate data, information, and knowledge in nursing practice (ANA, 2001, pg.17).

Nurse leader as a knowledge worker.
A nurse leader is one who inspire others to work together to achieve a common goal, for instance enhanced patient care or satisfaction. All nurses are called to nurse leadership, however there are different levels of nurse leadership. Nurse leaders are expected to help the organization to fulfill the organization’s mission, vision, values, and strategies to achieve long-range plans. Nurse leaders part take in policy setting, overseeing quality measures are carried out, accountability for overall quality of patient care delivery, staff satisfaction and organizational outcomes. For a nurse leader as a knowledge worker to be productive in an organization, the nurse leader must understand that knowledge work requires continuous learning on the part of the knowledge worker, but equally continuous teaching on the part of the knowledge worker. Having said that, a knowledge worker nurse leader will depend hugely on evidenced based practice to be productive in a healthcare organization. The use of EBP by knowledge worker nurse leader will require learning and teaching. Most healthcare organizations or hospitals rely on evidenced based.

Use headings and subheadings to organize the sections of your paper. The first heading level is formatted with initial caps and is centered on the page. Do not start a new page for each heading. This first heading aligns with the second rubric element which gives an overview of the company’s history. Be sure to personalize this heading to reflect your company. In this section, include you will summarize the history of the firm and also provide an overview of what the firm does and what goods/services it sells. Be sure to include sufficient detail here. Your company’s website is the best place to find this information. This section should be about one page long.
Supply and Demand Conditions
There are two rubric elements to be included in this section and combined they should be about 2 pages in length, perhaps longer if you present more than one graph/table. The first element asks you to evaluate the trends in demand over time and explain their impact on the industry and on the firm. To do this, you can consider market demand. Market demand is the demand by all the consumers of a given good or service. Find out who your customers are and provide detail on them. Use annual sales data to find out how much of the product is purchased. Here is a video explaining each of the following determinants of market demand that you could examine for your company’s market:
· Income
· Price of related goods
· Tastes
· Population and Demographics
· Expected F.

Democracy is ruled by the majority, though this is in place in American society today it deffinelty paves the way for free thought and choice among individuals. More fair than one person’s rule, its an collective rule by the community.

Voting is one of the pillars of democracy and a modern view of the “good life” (Lesson3)
Though there are minor restrictions there such as age and criminal history or mental health (Political equality= they should be no restriction on race or gender)

Introduction: What is currently standing in my way of achieving these goals?I intend to do is a complete turnaround and modification of behavior and perspective in how to be better in leadership. One of the first crucial changes involves changing my habits and specifically ensuring that I am well informed on issues that affect the individuals under my leadership. This is in line with opening communication more and avoiding seclusion and being alone as it is the role of a leader to be always communicating or around his followers at most times. More crucial is to change how I conduct decision making and implement more logical and practical consideration to every situation as it is always good to find an advantage for everybody. To lead the mission to a fruitful conclusion, a leader must establish priorities and utilize the talents, creativity, resources and energy of his followers, generally imperfect individuals, and empower them to rise to and occasionally beyond their previously assumed potential. Great leaders establish a plan, a map to help them organize and ensure they have an appropriate and effective team in place, clearly communicate the plan to and lead their followers to the destination (Jackson, 2012)
Personal values: Needless to say, “all leaders, all human beings, have values. Values are beliefs that represent an individual’s ideas about what is right, good or desirable (Robbins, S. P. & Judge T. A., 2011, p. 144). My philosophy on leadership is founded on my collective life experiences, reflections, successes, and failures. I see a great correlation in terms of how leaders and followers come to meet and get a way forward. As such, I should express more respect for the leaders and followers that are able to listen and interact with me as it shows they support some of my opinions in terms of strength through relationships. I intend to essentially align and try to use my values as a guideline in everything I participate in and everything I say in my work, my relationships and in my family. Also, it is the nature of humans to make errors once in a while but not too often. As such, it is important to be more compassionate and understanding in order to provide an opportunity for them and me to learn from it as their failures are my failures. The manner in which contribution is usually provided is at times not appreciated and as a leader it is crucial to recognize efforts made in a team work setting.
What do I want to make out of my life? This requires a clear vision in order for it to be implemented. This means that I have to lay own my agenda and goals in order to be more accurate in achieving the overall development and growth. This should be in line with my work ethic and beliefs in order for it to be effective and more professional. This would provide me .

Introduction
Electronic Health Record (EHR) is the computerized storage and sharing of patients’ health information to help in continuous monitoring of the patients’ health (Shickel B., 2017). This is a system developed to enable health clinics share information that can help in providing effective medication to the patients with different kinds of health needs. The data on patients is stored and accessed by the clinics during visits from the patient which will help in care management of the patients. An electronic health record system can be helpful as the information stored consist of medical history of a patient, laboratory tests, treatment plans, immunization dates and various allergies of the patients. This is helpful when the patient visits different clinic health providers where they will not need to explain the situations over and over again.
Electronic health record system automates information sharing and reduces the traditional paper work which was tiresome and had a great risk of losing information. With the HER, information on patients is kept in a secure system where only authorized persons can access it. Errors are minimized in provision of health care since the information kept can be more accurate and available at any given time.
Wasatch Family Clinic will greatly benefit from this strategy of recording, keeping and sharing of information on patients. The nurses can use the system to easily record the patients’ names, numbers and all other critical information required during scheduling for clinical attendance of any patient. Tracing of the information will be easier compared to using the traditional form of papers in storing information for a patient.
Need to share data
Information on health status of a patient has to be kept with care and only authorized persons can be able to access them. This helps in building ethical handling of patients’ information which creates their trust on the health care providers (Drazen J., 2015).
Wasatch Family Clinic needs to share their health data with the patients for them to understand their health issues. The clinic also needs to share data with other health facilities in order to increase the patient’s safety and a great care.
Duplicate registrations will be avoided by sharing data in the different departments of the health care center. A real-time link can be created for the patients from registration, through consultation, testing and final medication. This can save Wasatch family Clinic from traditional paper work which took most time when searching for medical records of a patient at every stage in the clinic. Time can also be saved when the information of the patient is a system shared by the departments of the clinic health center.
Wasatch Family Clinic will also benefit economically when the data is shared improving service time and hence reducing.

Serial murderer – an introduction
The crime of manslaughter has been known for a long time, to be specifically the early 1600’s but the initial case of a serial murderer was in the year 1888, named, Jack the Ripper, who killed and mutilated five prostitutes in the East London. Field experts have stated that at any time, the United States has around 50 active serial murderers, owing to the fact that arroba the year multiple homicides have occurred. Now the question arises, who is a serial killer?
A person possessing a specific emotional drive to kill mercilessly is termed as a serial murderer. These murders, killings, manslaughters, or homicides are generally done in a different way that distinguishes one serial murderer from another. The killer often has a sign that they are distinguished with. Serial murderers are kept in the page as being mass- slayers. The only difference being that serial murderers do not naturally kill the way mass murderers/ slayers do, i.e. mass slayers don’t leave breaks in committing the merciless murders. On the other hand, serial murderers tend to have a distinct feature that reflects the fact that they are murderers with a psychotic overdrive (Ellens, 2011).
Jeffrey Dahmer
Nearly 25 years ago, one of America’s most infamous serial murderers, Jeffrey Dahmer, a paedophile, and a cannibal, was confronted, attacked and mercilessly slayed while cleaning the bathroom of a prison. His span of crime ranged from June 18, 1978 till July 19, 1991.
Jeffrey Dahmer, also known as Milwaukee Cannibal or the Milwaukee Monster, was an American serial murderer and a sex criminal who brutally raped and then killed 17 men and boys between the years 1978 to 1991. Several of those later homicides consisted of preservation of several body parts of the victims, necrophilia and cannibalism. Though he was initially diagnosed with several mental diseases like borderline personality disorder, a psychotic disorder, and schizotypal personality disorder, Dahmer was found to be legitimately stable at his probation.
He was sentenced for fifteen terms of life custody on February 15, 1992 for the fifteen of the sixteen homicides that he had committed in Wisconsin. Later, he was condemned to a sixteenth term of life custody for an additional slaughter in 1978 in Ohio. Dahmer was crushed to death by Christopher Scarver On November 28th, 1994 at the Columbia Correctional Institution (Martens, 2011).
Jeffery’s move into criminality- early years
It is reported by witnesses that as an infant, Dahmer was deprived of attention and love that a child expects from his parents. It is also reported that his mother was identified as a stressed, covetous, and argumentative lady who often quarrelled with her husband and their neighbours. As Dahmer entered the first grade, his mother .

1. Audience for webinar
The audience for the webinar is divided into three age groups. The school going students are the audience. First audience group is the middle child, the second audience group is early childhood and the third group is early adolescence forth is emerging adults. The webinar content will be highly useful because it will educate the audience about the sexuality. The sexual harassments, teenage pregnancy, and many more issues are associated with it, so there is the necessity for such type of education. The webinar content will be characterized specifically according to each age group. The middle childhood and early adolescence need some specific and limited awareness but the adolescence and emerging adults need the detailed awareness.
2. Intended Focus
The webinar focus is on that audience which doesn’t need the higher consideration of the webinar topic. There is a need to educate immature children, teenagers and adults about sexuality. It’s all about creating awareness. Today the world is modernized. The difference between male and female doesn’t matter. The co-education system created a lot of issues along its benefits. There is need to educate the students including girl and boys so they can avoid all bad activities which can lead them towards destruction. Sexuality is not all about the willingness of two people but it sometimes happened in terms of harassments.
The focus is based on the education of immature younger and teenager students who are living in the global world, studying in co-education. Parents are not advising them about the fact that they should avoid such type of relationships, predict the harassments and prevent themselves for being victimized. So, the major focus is to provide awareness to them so they can prevent all that approaches and secure themselves. The webinar focused the school educational system in which such type of awareness sessions are necessary. It has many benefits and our children can take decisions with complete consideration of good and bad.
3. Research Into Webinar Topic
The webinar topic is “Sexuality education in schools”. In recent past years, there are many issues which are get promoted without any awareness and education about sexuality. Entire families are facing a different kind of issues (Shirai, Tsujimura, Abdelhamed, & Horie, 2018). Some families children faced sexual harassments, some victimized by a rapist, some faced the teenage pregnancy, and many facing the diseases which are prevailing with sexual relationships. Sexuality education is necessary, it can eliminate the fantasy factor in which our teenager is living (Breuner, Mattson, & Health., 2016). Innocent adolescence is not aware that how much it could destroy them. How someone can make them victim without there any type of notice and awareness. In innocence and unawareness lot of children f.

Summary of teaching plan
Title: Sexually Transmitted Diseases
Overview
Sexually Transmitted Diseases are diseases that are transmitted from one person to another during oral, anal and vaginal sexual activities. STDs are very common especially among sexually active teenagers and a number of them don’t have the symptoms making it hard to tell if one has contacted one. STDs are very dangerous to one’s health however, it can be detected when one is tested and majority of them have a cure (Bouchery, Harwood, and Brewer, 2014). STDs are preventable with abstinence and safe sexual practices; one is likely not to contract the disease. Examples of the STDs are: chlamydia, genital warts, gonorrhea, hepatitis B, herpes, HIV and AIDS, Human Papillomavirus, scabies, syphilis and trichomoniais (Stingler, Neusel, and Perry, 2013).
Objectives
1. To help the teenagers understand what STDs are as well as ways one can contract them
2. To teach the teenagers some of the preventive measures of contracting STDs.
3. To educate the teenagers on measures on should take incase exposed to an environment one is likely to contract STDs
4. To help the teenagers differentiate the myths from the facts regarding STDs
Materials
Video clips featuring adults and teenage experts, Graphic power point presentations
STD pamphlets, Writing materials: Pens and Plain papers, Teacher’s laptop, overhead screen
Estimated cost: Overhead screen will be offered by the church, additional materials needed about $45-$80
Directions
The learning sessions was grouped into four different sessions lasting approximately 30 to 45 minutes. In the first session, it was purely teaching session where I addressed all the objectives in a classroom setting and the teenagers were allowed to take notes. Teaching was enhanced with graphic power points to help create a visual understanding of the different concepts put across. The second session on the other hand was purely audio visual where the teenagers were allowed to view different Video clips featuring adults and teenage experts expounding on sexually, transmitted disease. The audio-visual session also addressed all the objectives just as the case was in the classroom set up in session one.
The third session was an open forum where the teenagers were allowed to ask questions, seek clarification on different issues or add more insight on concept learned. This session was an interactive one where all disturbing questions was addressed. The end of this session was marked by satisfactory response to all questions and insight brought forward by both the teacher and the teenagers.
The fourth and final session was an examination setup where each of the participants were given a quick test to test their understanding for the concepts learnt. Those who performed exemplary were awarded certificates and gifts and the whole were issued pa.

1 Chapter 6 Methods of Measuring Behavior
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN ABOUT IN THIS CHAPTER:
· • The use of different methods of measuring behavior and collecting data
· • What a test is
· • How different types of tests are designed to assess different types of behavior
· • The use of achievement tests in the behavioral and social sciences
· • The design of multiple-choice items
· • How to do an item analysis
· • The application of attitude scales
· • The difference between Thurstone and Likert attitude scales
In Chapter 5, you got a healthy dose of the theoretical issues that provide the foundation for the science of measurement, why measurement is crucial to the research process, how reliability and validity are defined, and how each of these can be established.
In this chapter, you will begin learning about the application of some of these principles as you read about different methods that can be used to measure behavior, including the ubiquitous test, the questionnaire, the interview, and other techniques.
As you read this chapter, keep several things in mind. Your foremost concern in deciding what method you will use to measure the behavior of interest should be whether the tool you intend to use is a reliable and valid one. This is equally true for the best-designed test and for the most informal-appearing interview. If your test does not “work,” then virtually nothing else will.
Second, the way in which you ask your question will determine the way in which you go about measuring the variables that interest you. If you want to know about how people feel toward a particular issue, then you are talking about attitudinal scales. If you want to know how much information people have about a particular subject, then you are talking about an achievement test or some other measure of knowledge. The focus of a study (such as the effects of unemployment on self-esteem) might be the same, whether you measure attitude or achievement, but what you use to assess your outcome variable depends on the question you ask. You need to decide the intent of your research activity, which in turn reflects your original research question and hypothesis.
Third, really efficient researchers are fully onboard for using whatever method helps them answer the questions that are being asked. This might include a mixed-methods model where one aspect of a research program might include qualitative methods while another might include qualitative methods (see Chapter 10). As research questions and their associated hypotheses become more intricate and complex, the creative side of using a particular research method correctly becomes more important.
Finally, keep in mind that methods vary widely in the time it takes to learn how to use them, in the measurement process itself, and in what you can do with the information once you have collected it. For example, an interview might be appropriate to determine how teachers feel about chang.

NP5. March 22, 2020
NP6. Introduction
NP7. This paper will analyze the question, would removing the protected class designation on 'sex' make a more robust, more competitive workforce, by equalizing the playing the field for men and women. 8. Addressing the question will involve defining and applying moral imagination, moral courage, Dr. Laura's Three Prerequisites for Assigning Moral Credit of Culpability, Utilitarianism, Kantian Ethics, Intersecting Circle's Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Model, Strict Liability Theory, Kohlberg's Moral Development Model, Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs Model, and Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).
NP9. EEOC Laws and Protected Classes
NP10. Protected classes are the groups protected from employment discrimination by law. 11. These groups include men and women based on sex; any group which shares a common race, religion, color, or national origin; people over 40; and people with physical or mental handicaps” 11a. (NARA, 2020, para 36). 12. The designation of a protected class requires employers to abide by the EEOC Laws. 13. The EEOC Laws are “five laws which prohibit discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, physical handicap and mental handicap in any terms, conditions, or privileges of employment” 13a. (NARA, 2020, para 16). 14. The applicable laws were designed to “correct a history of unfavorable treatment of women and minority group members” 14a. (NARA, 2020, para 36). 15. Although men and women cannot be discriminated against based on sex, the protected class of sex was designed to prevent discrimination of women in the workplace. 16. The analysis throughout the paper will focus on this fact, and decide if removing sex as a protected class will make the workforce more competitive.
NP17. Moral Courage and Moral Imagination
NP18. Looking at removing a protected class will involve looking at the question from multiple perspectives, this requires moral imagination. 19. Biasucci, Hernandez, and Prentice, 19a. (2020, para 1) say, "Moral imagination, according to philosopher Mark Johnson, means envisioning the full range of possibilities in a particular situation in order to solve an ethical challenge." 20. One view is that the workforce is handing out jobs to women over men, for fear of discriminating accusations. 21. If sex is no longer a protected class, then companies would be able to select the qualified individual without fear of reprisal. 22. Another way of looking at the issue is from the actual definition of protected classes. 23. Sex is a protected class, meaning that both men and women are technically protected from discrimination. 24. From this viewpoint, companies could be accused by both men and women if they feel they employers actively discriminated against them. 25. .

Combatting Senior Isolation with Volunteerism
Senior isolation is a social issue that many of our senior citizens face today. It is estimated that 40% of our senior population suffers from senior isolation. Senior isolation in the elderly has been linked to an increase in illnesses, mortality, depression, elder abuse and a higher incidence of the elderly needing long term care services. It is one of the largest risks to our aging senior’s health and well-being. Volunteer work can help combat senior isolation and have a positive impact on a senior’s health. Senior citizens make up 15.2 percent of the total population of the United States according to the 2016 census bureau and it is reported that by 2060 the number of senior citizens will double. Senior volunteer programs that promote involvement can assist in combating isolation and the negative health consequences while keeping our seniors healthy and active within their communities.
Senior Corps is an organization that currently engages roughly 220,000 older adults between the ages of 55 and above within America in service to their communities through its Foster Grandparent, Senior companion and RSVP programs according to Nationalservice.gov. Utilizing the strengths and assets of our seniors today not only keeps our seniors from isolation but also benefits the communities in which they live. The primary focus of Senior corps is to utilize the strengths, skills and attributes of seniors 55 and above to help tutor, mentor, care for and volunteer to meet the needs of others within their community while also having mutually positive benefits to the health and wellness of the aging senior population. Senior Corp programs not only improve the lives of those served but also the lives of the senior volunteers. Service learning opportunities within Senior Corps could produce beneficial outcomes for the American communities that Senior Corps volunteers, the partnering universities and the student service learners reside. The collegiate service learning students can play an instrumental role in increasing awareness with marketing strategies including recruitment events and informative meetings to promote participation, and enrollment into the programs. Creating and implementing marketing plans while utilizing their technology skills and social media platforms, collegiate service learners can assist Senior Corps in increasing the number of senior volunteers enrolled within each of the programs. Intergenerational learning can promote valuable relationships and partnerships that help bridge the generation gap. Service learners in intergeneration settings report “positive outcomes related to a better understanding of the older generation, enjoyment of interacting with the elders, appreciation of the life exp.

The American Red Cross is an organization with immeasurable commitment to provision of compassionate care to people who are in need in America. As such, this is their mission and their budget epitomizes this. The largest chunk of the income that is mainly received from grants from governments and organizations as well as donations from organizations is spent on humanitarian activities. For the year 2018, 91.85% of the $0.5 billion that was raised from the aforementioned sources was used in humanitarian activities. These included helping people who needed care in in disasters in the shortest notice, ensuring and maintaining community health especially by being in the frontline to deliver blood to patients who needed it in our health facilities. The organization recognizes the importance of mitigating disasters before they happen and therefore set aside $1,659,000 that was used to keep teams ready to stop a disaster before it happened or minimize injury or loss of life as much as possible. This is in line with the organizations principle of being proactive rather than react to disasters when they happen.
The American Red Cross has a total 12,534 permanent employees spread all over the nation to offer humanitarian help whenever and wherever it is needed (Hutchinson, 2018). These are selfless individuals who are always risking their lives to save others’. The organization therefore aims at giving the employees the best working conditions given the circumstances and making sure that they stay safe as much as possible while delivering help. As such, American Red Cross buys the best equipment and vehicles to help the employees as well as volunteers in humanitarian work to get to sites of disasters in the shortest time possible and safely. This is why the company has invested in top notch ambulances that have lifesaving equipment that may be used by the employees to save lives in an occurrence of a disaster.
As indicated above, funds that are used by the organization to finance its operations as well as management are received from state and federal government, and international organizations as grants or from the public as donations. Often times, the funders wish to know how the funds that they give out the cause of saving human lives through humanitarian assistance is used (Schnupp & Möller 2018). The organization therefore posts its official budget on its official website where it can be accessed by all people. In the last 5 years, the donations have been on the rise and this is a good indicator that the people who fund the organizations are happy about how the money they give to it is being used.
One of the key strengths in the company is the manner in which the employees relate with each other and the organization at large. The organization appreciates the selflessness of the people working there. As such, employee retreats are held.

Article I Journal Title: Achieving consumer trust on Twitter via CSR communication
The research seeks to establish means that can be used by companies to relay information on corporate social responsibility on social media platforms particularly twitter in an effective manner. It suggests that the involvement of the consumers and the consumer’s own processing mechanisms have a very vital role in so far as an evaluation of the trustworthiness of the companies is concerned.
The topic explored is very relevant since we have seen a continuous trend where various organizations are becoming more and more under pressure when it comes to communicating organizational policies and organizational positions as pertains to corporate social responsibility (CSR). Every market segment needs to be informed about the organization’s good intentions as well as actions so as to have an impression that the corporation is trustworthy. This implies that the market demand that their corporations engage them through dialogue. Notably, the existing academic literature does not have empirical research that seeks to examine impact of asymmetric versus symmetric communication strategies to the consumers.
Research Questions
i. Which strategies have corporations used in communication with their stakeholders about social corporate responsibility initiatives?
ii. Which of the two communication strategies, asymmetric communication and symmetric communication is more effective?
iii. What is the role of stakeholder’s personal information processing mechanisms when it comes to evaluation of trustworthiness of corporations?
Hypothesis
The first hypothesis (H1) states: Asymmetric vs. symmetric CSR communication strategies will have differing impacts on consumer trust in the organization. The second hypothesis (H2) states: Consumer trust is higher among the consumers with high involvement (those being a “green” consumer in symmetric communication.
Considering the hypotheses, it clearly emerges that they are closely linked to the study questions. The formulated questions point into integrated communication approach as used in organizations with particular attention being paid to the relevance of the communication approached to corporate social responsibility. They further go on to address and draw parallels between innovative approaches such as symmetric and asymmetric communication techniques and their impacts on the stakeholders. The above are further captured in the hypotheses especially when we look at the consumer concerns about an organization’s initiatives on social corporate responsibility. For instance, scepticism green consumers have on CSR been capture by H2. Generally, green consumers are very much conscious about the environmental impacts of their purchase as we.

Self-Injurious Behavior
For this final assignment a research of self-injurious behavior has been conducted. Self-injurious behavior, also known as SIB, is described an instance of behavior that results in physical injury to a person’s own body. SIB includes head banging, using objects to cut or puncture self, pinching self, consuming inedible substances, vomiting, pulling own hair, sucking, biting, scratching body parts and use of drugs, among others (Yang, 2003). SIB, is usually displayed by individuals with autism and intellectual disabilities. SIB can result in serious injuries and in severe cases even death. According to Yang (2003), the treatment of SIB has become one of the most serious issues for clinicians and other professionals due to the injury, risk, prevalence, and cost involved.
Article 1
Overview
The first article discussed is "Combination of extinction and protective measures in the treatment of severely self-injurious behavior" by Lizen Yang from Behavioral interventions journal. Yang explores and discusses the advantages of using extinction in conjunction with the non-intrusive protective measures to treat SIB. In the study, extinction in combination with non-intrusive protective measures was selected as the intervention strategy to reduce SIB.
Subjects and setting
The study was conducted on two adolescent females with profound mental retardation and physical disabilities at a state facility. Both subjects exhibited self-injurious behavior (SIB) and had been wearing restrains mechanisms for more than two years to prevent injuries. The treatment sessions were conducted in the morning for one of the subjects and in the afternoon for the other subject in a multipurpose 12’ x 13’room in their residential building. The room contained a table, a desk, and three chairs. Fingernail clippers, a pair of scissors, and a bottle of white petroleum jelly were used, since the target behavior for both subjects was scratching. There was a radio playing soft music at a moderate volume during sessions. There also were several audio and visual activity materials available and placed on the table within the participants’ reach at all times during treatment. During sessions, only the therapist and the participant were in the room.
Design and results
Event recording was used to collect data during each 30 minute treatment session. Two hand held counters were used to record the target behavior. In order to constantly analyze data, and monitor the behavior, as well as avoiding possible medical concerns, each treatment session was divided into three 10 minute intervals. Initially a within-subject reversal design was in which baseline (A) and treatment (B) were alternated in an ABAB sequence, but due to frequent and severe self-injuries and for safety reas.

Abstract
The concept of trusted computing has been in existence for a very long time. It has had an influence on security systems and solutions. In this paper, I will explain the history of TCB. Ways to implement trusted base computing. I will also explain some of the barriers and how to bypass them.
Introduction
The trusted computing base contains hardware, firmware and software that are essential in establishing as well as maintaining security. Moreover, it also includes an operating system with all specific system hardware, in-built security control, software and network hardware, (Ranganathan, 2017). When designing a trusted computing base provision such as access control, giving privileges, user authentication support, authorization of particular processes or systems, backing up information and protection against viruses and malware. It is the responsibility of a trusted computing base to maintain the integrity and confidentiality of information. It monitors the input and output operations.
History
In December 1985, the United States Department of Defense put out the trusted computing system evaluating criteria that well-defined TCB. TCB can be understood when it performs as a centralized, trusted entity, (Scott-Nash, et al., 2016). The structures that get the uppermost level security accredited and certification have a centralized system design. The TCSEC accepted the view of peer trusted nodes describing them as members of the NTCB which protects the network system including the firmware, software and hardware. This combination is responsible for enforcing a security policy.
How is the model implemented?
TCB contains four security mechanisms, including authentication and identification, auditing, labelling and security policy. In order to understand how TCB is implemented and work. Let’s take the example of a bank—one of the most trusted icons in society today. When we make deposits, the money is recorded and safeguarded. It will be available when we want it back. We hardly consider the security mechanism in the back since we trust the banking system. All the mechanisms of TCB are in place. Before withdrawing money from the account, one is required to identify and authenticate themselves to the teller with the account number and signature. There is also discretionary access control that is who is authorized to withdraw money from the account. There are very few clerical problems since all the transactions that take place are audited. In development, the environment has to enforce the security model. Other concepts that are used when developing TCB include memory protection and handle, (Noorman, et al., 2019). This falls under the NIST requirement for assurance. When implementing TCB, it is essential to ensure that the application meets the basic requirements of NIST.

Abstract
Many organizations and enterprises have adopted the practice of storage of data in the cloud as it is fast, efficient and reliable. It has eliminated the challenge of loss of data and made it easier to retrieve data. Enterprises are therefore able to thrive in the current era where clients require their needs to be met quickly and in their desired timing. However it is faced with the challenge of security, many do not understand their responsibility of making sure that the data is secure. The storage of data in the clouds has decentralized the IT department because in most cases they are not in control of the data due to the ease of access to the various cloud service providers, different departments within an enterprise which have different service providers. The security mechanisms are not comprehensive to cater to all the service providers. Requiring one to use multiple security measures. Hence there exist several loopholes that can be exploited by criminals impairing the steady operations of the victims. Imposing security on the cloud requires that a mechanism is put in place to not only protect but also detect the threats. This will help in planning how to counter react to any possible threat. It does also ensure that there is a study of the trends of such crimes.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Summary of Skills
For the development of an organization to be successful and
effectively achieve set goals and objectives, strong management
and organization skills will be required (Bateman & Snell,
2007). Our Team A brings a broad spectrum of skills and
talents coming from life, educational and work-related
experiences. Each member of the team possesses unique skill
sets that will bring fresh ideas, techniques and creative
solutions to challenges in the development of our consulting
firm.
A thorough evaluation of our team member’s skills, suggests
that our key strengths lie within teamwork and dedication,
creating presentations, critical thinking, problem-solving
techniques, communication, research, and observations. With
these skills, this team will be able to successfully achieve most
tasks necessary in the development of a consulting firm. This
team will need to use these skills to collaborate efforts in a
cooperative manner to create, plan, develop and accomplish the
goals of the consulting firm. This evaluation also portrays a
strong dedication to learning and improving which is beneficial
in the development of new skills that may be needed.
Most members of our team currently have educational and
professional experience that proves an intense desire to improve
and advocate change and educate communities to collaborate an
effort enhancing the lives of individuals. This desire will
effectively promote positive changes both within communities
2. as well as at a societal level. The team’s overall commitment is
to meet basic human needs through education, focusing on
identification of challenges and prevention, as well as assist in
overcoming personal and organizational obstacles that
individuals may face. Our team is committed to improving the
overall quality of life through advocacy and action.
The first type of consulting firm that we could possibly work
with would be a human services/independent living consulting
program. This program would collaborate with a client’s care
givers, doctors and independent care organizations to assist in
facilitating a client’s independence and improve or maintain
health. This consulting firm would collaborate efforts to create
an independent, long-term care plan that will enhance the
develop of daily living skills, educate on services and programs
available, exercise the right to make healthy living choices, and
encourage pro-active involvement of all care-giving
professionals in the pursuit of personal growth, presence, and
participation in the long term care process. This program will
improve and emphasis respect and dignity through the
promotion of independence.
PLEASE ADD THE OTHER TWO TYPES HERE!
The types of problems these consulting firms might solve.
Inflexible regulatory and legal issues create competitive
obstacles human services providers face when offering health
services to communities at large. Recruiting the need for a
consulting firm that provides national and regional insight
towards improving the value of healthcare services can be
particularly indispensable.
Team A’s healthcare consulting firm will address the never-
ending regulations hospitals and smaller services providers
consistently undergo. We will provide the necessary strategic
direction to assure compliance with Government agencies,
medical providers, and insurance companies, along with
navigating through possible human resource and technological
issues. Our consulting firm will aid healthcare providers to
transform operational performance, governance, and growth
3. strategies while strengthening existing foundation, which will
support organizations to integrate better healthcare delivery.
Our consulting firm will work towards formulating a partnership
with organizations to develop effective payment structures
within the company for the anticipation of regulatory changes
towards mange cost of healthcare. While implementing affective
ways to examine and improve the facilities infrastructure from
gathering existing data to identify possible problems.
The unique facets of operating a healthcare facility often
require ongoing day-to-day management and oversite. The
purpose of our consulting firm is to offer provision to
healthcare providers to assure positive financial growth while
increasing the evaluation of the business. Our team of
experienced specialists specifies a broad range of services to
expand the monetary effectiveness and value of your healthcare
facility.
Conclusion
Logical thinking and planning is a large part of the business
development process and will require diligent effort from each
team member. I think that we will need to effectively develop
strong management skills to ensure the success of whichever
consulting firm we choose. Without a highly trained,
responsible and well prepared team, the goals of our
organization could not be accomplished.

Introduction
Immunization is a process whereby an individual, especially a
young child below the age of six, is made resistant against
infectious diseases. Immunization is usually done through the
administration of some medicine commonly known as vaccines.
Vaccines are administered in an individual's body through
several means such as oral and injection. Vaccines are of great
importance in that they boost the body's immunity thus
preventing the individual from being infected with the disease
later in life.
Immunization is one of the tools that have been proven to
reduce the number of deaths in the world drastically.
Approximately two million deaths have been avoided annually
because parents are informed about the necessities of
immunizing their children (Russel, 1998). This number is
5. projected to have increased over the years. Thus, with effective
medical support from organizations such as the World Health
Organization (WHO), the immunization processes can reach the
majority of the population even the hard-to-access group of
people in the society. With improved medical services brought
about by improved infrastructure, WHO has an aim to ensure
each person receives proper immunization during childhood.
Proper immunization will reduce infant mortality rates due to
proper health service.
The most important part of the research is to understand the
relationship between vaccination and immunization of young
children with the improvement in the quality of a healthy life.
There is a need to understand other factors surrounding the
immunization and lack of immunization of children below the
age of six years. In this study, various literature will be studied
to enable the development of a hypothesis and its validity tested
by the procedures of the research. From the literature review, it
clearly shows that immunized children have reduced medical
health problems compared to those that have not been
immunized. Lack of immunization among the children can lead
to the contract of diseases which can easily cause infant
mortality.
Statement of problem
There is some great relationship between the rate of
survival in immunized children and mortality rates due to
diseases caused by a lack of immunization. Immunization has
led to increased chances of survival in children. However, there
are still some children who cannot fully access vaccines due to
certain factors that affect them. The factors that affect them
from accessing vaccines provide some base for research to be
carried out.
Objectives
The objectives of this research include:
a.) To determine the reason why some people still do not want
their children to undergo immunization.
b.) To not only understand the political problems but also the
6. economic and philosophical difficulties the unimmunized
children undergo later in life.
c.) To clearly understand the importance and benefits of parents
ensuring their children are immunized
Null hypothesis
a.) There are no reasons to explain why some people still do not
want their children to undergo immunization.
b.) The political, economic and philosophical difficulties faced
by unimmunized children undergo later in life cannot be
understood.
c.) The importance and benefits of parents ensuring their
children are immunized cannot be clearly understood.
Research Questions
a.) How important is immunization
b.) What are the repercussions of escaping the immunization
process to an individual?
Theoretical framework
Research shows that effective vaccination and immunization of
children in the whole population will lead to an improved health
life of an individual. With the presence of modern statistical
programs used for analysis such as STATA, there will be an
efficient analysis of variables available in this research.
Literature Review
Immunizations and vaccines are considered to be the most
cost-effective intervention when it comes to child survival
(Prinja et al., 2018). However, coverage and access differ from
country to country. This creates large disparities when it comes
to children and immunization across the globe. The Effective
Vaccine Management (EVM) initiative has the main duty of
providing materials that monitor the supply of vaccines. The
process must be monitored because with time there has been a
rise in the cost of vaccines. Therefore, the stock level must be
kept at minimum levels as planned by the medical department
without wastage pf resources so that it can be sufficient for the
population.
Logical support has to ensure that there is a supply of high-
7. quality equipment and vaccines (Markowitz et al., 2007) A
well-managed logistics support program will ensure that there
are reduced cases of adverse side effects brought about by the
vaccines. WHO should also come up with methods aimed at
improving the lives of those that have not been vaccinated. The
organization should also come up with programs which will be
used as a platform for educating those individuals against
immunization. The following consists of a literature review of
the differences and similarities in the world immunization
systems for three countries: Nigeria, India, and Switzerland.
Nigeria
Nigeria has one of the highest percentages of vaccine-
preventable diseases including measles, poliomyelitis,
tuberculosis, diphtheria, and tetanus. According to Oku et al.
(2017), only one-fourth of children receive full vaccinations.
The country is ranked 2nd when it comes to mortality rates from
vaccine-preventable diseases among children. When it comes to
economic development, Nigeria outperforms lower-middle-
income countries but has the lowest immunization coverage
rates in the world. Burroway and Hargrove (2018) investigated
the community and individual-level factors that influence
whether a child is vaccinated in Nigeria. Researchers found
women’s education level to have the largest association with
childhood vaccinations. The reasons associated with low
immunizations throughout Nigeria consists of: concerns about
immunization safety, lack of knowledge regarding vaccinations,
and long distances to health facilities (Oku et al., 2017)
In 1979, Nigeria launched the Expanded Programs on
Immunizations (EPI) to provide routine vaccinations to all
children under the age of one, as well as pregnant women.
However, Nigeria is one of only three countries where polio
remains an endemic (Prinja et al., 2018). In October 2012,
Nigeria restructured its polio program and created the Polio
Emergency Operation Centre. The country also uses
supplementary immunization activities (SIAs) to help eliminate
polio. During an SIA, healthcare workers provide all children
8. under the age of five with oral polio vaccine (OPV). These
campaigns are usually conducted house-to-house; however, it is
difficult for healthcare workers to reach all children due to
incomplete household maps and vaccine refusals (Oku et al.,
2017). Even with the campaign and programs, there are still
currently a substantial amount of children in Nigeria who have
not received vaccinations.
India
Approximately 62% of children in India have full immunization.
A 2015-2016 National Family Health Survey (NFHS) showed
large disparities when it came to different doses of the BCG,
DPT, polio and measles vaccines across all districts of India.
Over the past decade, child vaccination coverage throughout the
country has substantially increased. However, currently, one-
third of children in India have not received immunizations.
While donor and government-funded programs have improved
childhood immunizations throughout central and northern India,
there is little focus on the north-eastern region. According to
Khan, Shil and Prakash (2018), there are state or regional-level
inequalities in immunizations throughout India due to the
differential healthcare facility and socio-economic factors
consisting wealth status, gender preference, place of residence
and health infrastructure. The researchers found that women's
education was positively correlated with vaccination. They also
discovered a positive correlation between childhood
immunizations and institutional deliveries, birth registration
and having an MCP card (Khan, Shil & Prakash, 2018).
Nigeria and India have opposite trends regarding the DPT3
vaccine between 2007 and 2017. In 2007, 3.3 million Nigerian
children and 9.3 million children in India did not receive the
DPT series. During the same period, the population eligible for
the vaccine increased by 23% in Nigeria and decreased by 6% in
India. Nigeria surpassed India in 2014 as the country with the
most children without the DPT3 vaccine (VanderEnde et al.,
2018).
Switzerland
9. Unlike the other two countries, Switzerland is a developed
country. After several years of low incidence rates each year,
there has been a measles epidemic since 2006. As a result,
coverage rates for MMR doses have increased to 86%. However,
the number of children who are vaccinated in Switzerland is
greatly impacted by parental perception. In Switzerland, all
immunization costs are covered, but whether a child is
vaccinated depends on the parent's initiative to take them to a
pediatrician. Despite the national and international efforts of
health authorities, immunizations in high-income countries have
adversely impacted by a parent's choice to decline childhood
vaccination (Gross et al., 2015).
Switzerland has the highest rates of measles in Europe.
According to Gross et al. (2015), parents in Switzerland believe
childhood diseases are a natural process of gaining immunity
and not necessarily a threat to a child's health. This has created
problems for the country in regards to measles. The MMR
vaccination currently has suboptimal coverage, and as a result,
measles is still a local endemic in Switzerland. According to a
Swiss Federal Office of Public Health (FOPH), only 86% of
children under the age of two have received two doses of MMR.
This is lower than the 95% global goal when it comes to
vaccination (Gross et al., 2015).
Methodology
Research design
The study will utilize questionnaires in the collection of
information for this research. The questions will be a
combination of both open-ended questions and closed questions.
Therefore, this research would focus hugely on descriptive
research design. The presence of participants who are used in
this study shows that they are variables of the research.
Research context
The context of this research involves the detailed study of
difficulties faced by individuals who do not access vaccination
facilities. The context, therefore, elaborates how vaccination
facilities can reach those who do not access them and even
10. those who are against the use of vaccines. The context also
shows the improvement of healthy life in individuals who
access vaccination services while young. WHO aims of reaching
every person is also a research context that is present in the
study.
Procedure
Participants
The study will utilize two types of participants: those that have
been immunized and those that have not been immunized. The
presence of the two types of individuals is necessary as it
clearly shows the effect of being immunized and not being
immunized. It also gives an insight towards the level of
acceptance among parents for the immunization process to be
carried out on their children.
Materials
Questionnaires will be included in the collection of the primary
data necessary for this research. The researchers need to be
physically available to give guidelines and offer assistance to
the interviewees in addition to the instructions provided for at
the beginning of the questionnaire. Analytical programs such as
STATA and SAS will be highly required in the analysis of the
findings.
Variables.
The dependent variables in this study will be the level of
acceptance of the different types of immunizations. The
independent variables will be the participants who will be
interviewed for the purpose of collecting data for this study.
Methods of data collection
Several methods will be used in the collection of data. Such
means include the use of questionnaires and the use of medical
records. Use of questionnaires will take place from ward-based
records to ensure easier responding from the respondents. Use
of medical records will be limited to medical practitioners since
they are the ones with the primary data of information.
Information received will later be sent through email to enhance
faster transfer of information.
11. Methods of data analysis
STATA will be used in the analysis of data received from
the research. The use of STATA makes it easy in making
comparisons and determining the associations between variables
(Friese et al., 2008). One can develop some regression analysis
between variables while using STATA thus making it quite
useful in the analysis of data
Ethical Considerations
The questionnaire should provide for confidentiality and
protection of the participant's identity.
The researchers should also get the necessary approval from the
University’s ethics board before carrying out the research
They should also get written consent from the participants to
avoid future legal issues.
The significance of the proposed research
The proposed research is going to be useful in finding a solution
for individuals who did not undergo vaccination during their
childhood. It also finds a solution to how the general population
can access medical services after birth with reduced payments.
This research would also be an addition to the improvement of
medical services in the medical department.
Research limitations
This research about vaccination and the lack of vaccination
comes along with several limitations. Some of its limitations
include computation of a large amount of data, inadequate
supply of funds and the lack of seriousness when it comes to
vaccination programs. The analysis of this research involves the
computation of data from different health organizations thus
becomes difficult and tiresome to analyze the data effectively.
Secondly, there has been enough supply of resources, especially
funds. The available money raised by the government is
allocated to other sectors thus resulting to less amount of money
being allocated to the health services with the aim of ensuring
the whole population receives vaccination (Peyle et al., 2009).
Even after undergoing education programs on the importance of
vaccination, there are still many individuals who cannot stand
12. their children being immunized.

Miller, E. (2015). Controversies and challenges of vaccination:
an interview with Elizabeth Miller. BMC Medicine, 13, 1–5.
33. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12916-015-0508-z
There have been several questions that was answered by
Professor Elizabeth Miller who is a an expert in the whole
world on immunization problem solving and a central adviser on
immunization policy. Elizabeth says that the medication or the
vaccines are different from other medications because they need
to be given to healthy peoples in the masses, who are mostly
children, this is done to keep diseases from spreading and those
diseases can not hurt people any more. She says that being
worried about the safety of vaccines is a wise and therefore
perfectly rightful obligation for people in the world. She also
mentions that when precautionary signals arise, these things
must be examined right away and with out any delay. She said
that our concern is legitimate as our children get these vaccines
and we need to protect them at any cost.
So, our concern for the vaccine is a legitimate one. This article
has come up with it seems 5 distinct parental attitudes towards
vaccinations, one is people who do not question it it’s important
to have your kids get vaccinated when every its necessary, they
are about 30-40 % then there are the cautious acceptor type they
are about 25-35%. These are the parents and people whom
might are concerned minimally but usually go forward with
immunization by asking a question or two about the different
side effects and disease risks of the vaccine. Another group is
called the hesitant group about 20-30% who usually have
important objection or worry about vaccination endangerment
and benefits.
So, for some of these group of people one thing is the most
important thing than anything else is trust in the doctor, if they
ask some questions and they are satisfactorily and completely
answered by their doctors or nurses then they will go ahead with
the vaccination. There are another group who are called the late
group or selective vaccinator who are comprised of about 2-27%
34. of the population, this group particular worry in regards to some
immunizing agent or questionable phenomena, like resistant
burden, and these parents are usually very well-educated.
They are some of the parents who needs the most time and need
the most elaborated data about the medication pros and cons.
They might also need to make another schedule to think and
then come back to take the vaccine. The last one are the refuser
who comprise of little less of the two percent they are
oftentimes driven by their religion, philosophy, or some other
beliefs. Usually this kind of radical people will never get
vaccinated no matter what you do.
Sodha, S. V., & Dietz, V. (2015). Strengthening routine
immunization systems to improve global vaccination coverage.
British Medical Bulletin, 113(1), 5–14.
https://doi.org/10.1093/bmb/ldv001
These days in developing countries the vaccine and the program
for immunization has become very expensive. Where people
other then the top 1 percent can not afford them any more. Our
present-day worldwide immunization reporting calculation are
an figuring 84% of children do not have 3 DTP medicine in the
year that they are born, reason for this is because 14.8 million
(68%) lived in countries like (India, Nigeria, Pakistan, Ethiopia,
Democratic Republic of Congo, Indonesia, Vietnam, Mexico,
South Africa and Kenya); more importantly, 10.9 million (50%)
of these children are living in just three countries: India,
Nigeria and Pakistan. Even though 129 (66%) countries come
through and get ≥90% national DTP3 coverage in 2012, only 56
(29%) acquired ≥80% DTP3 coverage in all district,
highlighting the need to reduce coverage disparities within
countries. This disconnect between the national immunization
coverage and subnational coverage highlights the current
challenge faced by countries, which must address inequity
between subnational levels to improve national coverage and to
35. improve herd immunity.
Country ownership is currently a large barrier in several
countries, particularly many of the countries that has the largest
population of children who are not immunized. In these
countries, not safe and inconvenience national preparation
combined with faint capability for development their national
policies has led to bad and improper governance of national
immunization services. In laymen terms, what this means is
that politics and money hungry people do not want to get the
vaccines or immunization to the poor people for who the
government pays for or for the people that WHO or other non-
profitable organizations pay for as this money sometimes goes
to one place and gets stuck there and never comes out. But there
are also places where these things are very hard to get to like
India, China, Bangladesh, Pakistan or some of the African
regions or Nepal, some of these countries have secluded areas
where foreigners are not allowed as they are war zones or
difficult to get into as there are mountains or deserts or terrorist
camps where even doctors or nurses are not allowed or trusted.
As per the article worldwide immunization amount has been
considerably bettered from <5% of kids vaccinated in 1974 to
84% DTP3 kids covered in 2013, but many different objection
still are not solved because to improve the coverage of global
immunization we are still not fully there yet. Besides the
exploding quality and cost of contemporary day immunization
method, so many different possibilities exist to modify everyday
immunization systems with accrued resource through different
opportunities and worldwide business organizations. But for
our world wide immunization coverage to change for the better
in a major way, many different organizations and people and
their attempts will be necessary in so many different areas
where we will need to be custom-made to the particular
36. necessity of particular people and for certain different
developing or developed countries.

Vaccination and Immunization
Introduction
Immunization is a process whereby an individual, especially a
child below six years, is made resistant against an infectious
37. illness. Immunization is done through administrating some
medicine commonly known as vaccines. Vaccines are
administered in an individual’s body orally or though injections.
Vaccines are of great importance in that they boost the body’s
immunity thus preventing the individual from being infected
with the disease later in life.
Immunization is one of the tools that have been proven to
drastically reduce the number of deaths in the world.
Approximately two million deaths have been avoided annually
because parents are informed about the necessities of
immunizing their children (Russell, 1998). Thus, with effective
medical support from organizations such as WHO (World
Health Organization), the immunization processes is able to
reach majority of the population even the hard-to-access group
of people in the society. With improved medical services
brought about by improved infrastructure, WHO has an aim to
ensure each person receives proper immunization during
childhood. Proper immunization will reduce infant mortality
rates due to proper health service
Statement of problem
There is some great relationship between the rate of survival in
immunized children and mortality rates due to diseases caused
by lack of immunization. Immunization has led to increased
chances of survival in children. However, there are still some
children who cannot fully access vaccines due to certain factors
that affect them. The factors that limit them from accessing
vaccines provide some base for research to be carried out.
Objectives
The objectives of this research include:
a) To determine the reason why some people still do not want
their children to undergo immunization.
b) To not only understand the political problems but also the
economic and philosophical difficulties the unimmunized
children undergo later in life.
c) To clearly understand the importance and benefits of
parents ensuring their children are immunized.
38. Immunization and vaccination of a newborn are of significant
impact to an individual later in life. With vaccination, there
have been some positive results in the healthy life of immunized
population. How important is immunization? What are the
repercussions of escaping the immunization process to an
individual?
Literature review
Vaccination and Immunization
The EVM (Effective Vaccine Management) initiative is an
initiative whose duty is to provide materials that monitor the
supply of vaccines. The process must be monitored because with
time there has been a rise in the cost of vaccines. Therefore, the
stock level must be kept at minimum levels as planned by the
medical department without wastage of resources so that it can
be enough for the population. Logistic support has to ensure
that there is a supply of high-quality equipment and vaccines
(Markowitz, 2007). A well-managed logistic support program
will ensure that there are reduced cases of adverse side effects
brought about by the vaccines. WHO should also come with
methods to improve the lives of the unvaccinated since they
suffer a lot from fatal diseases. The organizations should also
try to change the mentality of individuals who are against
immunization
Theoretical Framework
Research shows that effective vaccination and immunization of
children in the whole population will lead to an improved health
life of an individual. With the presence of modern statistical
programs used for analysis such as STATA, there will be an
efficient analysis of variables available in this research.
Methodology
Research Design
Use of questionnaires as sources of information for the
research, therefore, means this research would focus hugely on
descriptive research design. The population used in the study
shows that they are the variables of the research.
Research Context
39. The context of this research involves the detailed study of
difficulties faced by individuals who do not access vaccination
facilities. The context, therefore, elaborates how vaccination
facilities can reach those who do not access them and even
those who are against the use of vaccines. The context also
shows the improvement of healthy life in individuals who
access vaccination services while young. WHO aims of reaching
every person is also a research context that is present in the
study?
Procedure
Participants
The participants of this research entail individuals of two types,
those who have been immunized and those who have not been
immunized. The presence of the two types of individuals is
necessary as it clearly shows the effect of being immunized and
not being immunized. There are also some biostatisticians who
deeply analyze the findings in the research.
Materials
Analytical programs such as STATA and SAS will highly be
required in the analysis of the findings. Questionnaires have
also been included in the collection of primary data that is
necessary for the research.
Methods of Data Collection
Several methods have been used in the collection of data. Such
means include the use of questionnaires and the use of medical
records. Use of questionnaires has taken place from ward-based
records to ensure easier responding from the respondents. Use
of medical records will be limited to medical practitioners since
they are the ones with the primary type of information.
Information received will later send through email to enhance
faster transfer of information.
Methods of Data Analysis
STATA will be used in the analysis of data obtained during the
research. The use of STATA makes it easy in making
comparisons and determining the association between variables
(Friese, 2008). One can develop some regression analysis
40. between variables while using STATA thus making it quite
useful in the analysis of data.
Discussion
Introduction
The most important part of the research is to understand the
relationship between vaccination and immunization of young
children with the improvement in a healthy life. There is a need
to understand other factors surrounding the immunization and
un-immunization of children below the age of six years. This
implementation of the vaccination program is the reason why
there is a need to use theoretical models before carrying out
tests of the different hypothesis (Murphy, 1993). Empirical
methods used for the study involves data from different health
organizations to realize the success of various projects. The
study, therefore, helps to analyze various literature before
coming up with a hypothesis and going ahead to test its validity.
It, therefore, gives an opportunity to study the relationship
between the immunization program and the population’s health.
This research clearly shows that people who have had their
children immunized have reduced medical health problems
whereas people who have their children not undergone any
immunization program have several diseases which can result in
infant mortality. For instance, there has been an increased infant
population in India due to the oral administration of the
monovalent vaccine against polio. There is also an improvement
in the population’s health due to the administration of
diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, tuberculosis, measles and polio
vaccines by the national immunization program in India.
Nigeria has come up with pentavalent vaccine against
diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough, hepatitis and influenza
through a single doze. Sweden also has an immunization
program that ensures everyone is immunized against nine
diseases which are rubella, pneumococcus, haemophilus
influenza type b, mumps just to mention but a few. National
immunization programs in the mentioned countries have been of
great significance as they have improved the populations’ health
41. in general and reduced rate of deaths caused by lack of
vaccination.
The significance of the Proposed Research
The proposed research has been useful in finding a solution to
population who has not yet undergone vaccination during its
childhood. It also finds a way in which the whole population
can access medical services after birth with reduced payments.
The research will also be an addition to the improvement of
medical services in the medical department.
Research Limitations
The research about vaccination comes along with several
limitations. Some of its limitations include computation of a
large amount of data, inadequate supply of funds and
vaccination programs taken for granted. Nigeria is one of the
most densely populated countries in the world. The high
population in the less developed countries results to inadequate
vaccines available in Nigeria hence some children are not
vaccinated. Among the high population, there are still some
people who do not access education thus they only believe in
vaccine misconceptions. Large population in Nigeria results to
computation of huge data from different health organizations
makes difficult and tiresome to analyze the data effectively.
Secondly, there has not been enough supply of funds. For
instance, there is little investment of vaccination in India due to
insufficient funds. India also focuses on eradication of polio
thus little funds left to cater for other vaccines (Peyre, 2009).
Finally, some countries like Sweden have been providing with
mandatory vaccines which contain additives that are not healthy
and those not meant for children leading to health issues in
children.

Research Methodology
Introduction
The process of conducting research entails specific procedures
and techniques that need to be followed. These procedures
outline how information regarding a topic will be selected,
processed and analyzed. Additionally, this is also where a
reader finds out the reliability and validity of the study, thus
giving it the scientific touch. There are different types of
research methodology chosen depending on the nature of the
study. The two board types are qualitative and quantitative.
There are four main types of quantitative research designs:
descriptive, correlational, quasi-experimental and experimental
while there are 5 types of qualitative research: ethnography,
narrative, phenomenological, grounded theory, and case study
(Creswell & Clark, 2017). This study intends to determine
reasons why children under the age of 5 are not
vaccinated/immunized. The researcher identified political
problems and wants to help readers understand the importance
and benefits of immunizing children under the ae of 5.
Therefore, the study will be qualitative in nature, specifically a
descriptive study. This will allow the researcher to provide a
better and deeper understanding as to why vaccination of
children under the age of five is important. It makes this
44. possible by allowing inquiries to be done on participants.
Results from such a study form a firm basis for policy decision
making, something that the researcher aims to achieve.
Extraneous Variables (and plan for how controlled).
These are variables that will not be involved directly in the
study. In this case, variables such as the parent’s literacy levels,
as well as the location, household wealth and size will be
extraneous variables. The parent’s literacy level is bound to
affect their decision as to whether they are willing to let their
child get immunized or not. The region where they stay is also a
factor that could easily influence the environmental conditions
that justify vaccination. Finally, household size and wealth can
also be a determining factor. All these variables will be
included in the questionnaire, where the respondents will be
asked to indicate their literacy levels, location, household
wealth and size. These will then be factored out when analyzing
data.
Instruments
Validity, and reliability estimates
Christensen, Johnson, and Turner (2011) defined the validity of
a research instrument as its ability to measure all the variables
chosen for the study. This, therefore, is determined by the kind
of questions included in the research questionnaire. They should
be able to measure one element at a time, be clear and precise
on the nature of their inquiry. Reliability, on the other hand,
was also described by Christensen, Johnson, and Turner (2011)
as the level of consistency indicated by the scale of a research
instrument. Consistency means that in the event that the study is
conducted again, say twice or three times, then the results
obtained will be similar. As indicated by Cho and Kim, (2015),
the best way to achieve reliability is to have a consistent scale
measuring all the question included in the questionnaire. A five-
point Likert scale that will be adopted by this study so as to
give the respondent a wider range of answers on which to
provide their view about a statement or question. The scale will
be verified using Cronbach’s alpha derived from SPSS (Version
45. 22) to determine its suitability. A Cronbach’s alpha of 0.6 and
above will indicate that the scale is reliable (Cho & Kim, 2015).
Description of the Intervention
This study intends to identify the relationship between
vaccination and immunization of young children below the age
of 5 thereby providing insights into why it is important for them
to do so. The purpose of the research study, therefore, is to find
a lasting solution for all parents looking to decide whether to
vaccinate their children. The results will also help find the best
way for the whole population to access medical services after
birth to reduce the high cost of payments made to access them.
Data Collection Procedures
The main research instrument that will be used in this research
study is the questionnaire. A questionnaire is a form containing
a set of questions submitted to a specific target population to
gain statistical information regarding a particular topic (Patten,
2016). In this case, the questionnaire will be used to collect
information from participants who have been immunized and
those who have not been immunized. The process of data
collection will first involve finding a sample from the
population. This sample will be arrived at by using a stratified
sampling technique where the entire population will be divided
into strata (individuals with social, economic, or educational
status). Simple random sampling will then be used to select the
preferred sample from each stratum which will then be a pool to
form a sample size. The questionnaire will then be distributed to
the selected sample on a drop and collect later method. They
will then be analyzed and the information obtained used to make
conclusions and recommendations.

47. Sample/Setting
This research will be conducted in three countries; Nigeria and
India as developing countries and Switzerland as a developing
nation. Data from the study will be retrieved from the most
recent Demographic Health Surveys of the following countries:
Switzerland – a developed country, and India and Nigeria –
developing countries. All the data that will be obtained will be
represented of the respective countries. A semi-structured
questionnaire will be used to get information from the eligible
mothers and study design and methods will be uniform for each
nation. Therefore, a survey with a tiered structure shall be
conducted and the eligible sample participants will be nested in
households, and households included in primary sampling units
and regions (Olorunsaiye & Degge, 2016).
The sample population will only be women of reproductive age
(15-49 years old), and resided in the selected household or had
visited and slept in the household the day before the survey. A
total of 17, 789 women will be included in the survey.
Women whose children will not have immunization records will
not be involved in the survey. Additionally, data from strata
which will be comprised of single primary sampling units will
not be included in the survey.
Sampling Strategy
The survey will employ a two-stage stratified sampling
technique that will be applied to draw a sample of households as
well as individuals from primary sampling units. The population
sizes in the particular regions of the survey shall be estimated.
The extent to which immunization has to be done and the
prevalence of the kinds of diseases vaccinated against will be
determined and the desired level of confidence (Olorunsaiye &
Degge, 2016). By using a two-stage stratified sampling
technique, sampling will take place at two different stages.
Sampling will start by randomly selecting a sample of primary
units (districts). Then from each primary unit, eligible mothers
will be selected. Two-stage stratified sampling technique has
been deemed useful for this survey since it has pragmatic merits
48. and is famous for its flexibility (Olorunsaiye & Degge, 2016).
Individually, the number of primary (n1) and secondary (n2)
units can vary to account for different costs of sampling
primary versus secondary units and for the variability of the
characteristic being estimated between primary units and
between secondary units within primary units. The number of
clusters will be calculated as follows:
Research Design
The research design will be a cross-sectional survey research
design that will be conducted at a particular point in time (Pond
& Mounier-Jack, 2016. The following information will be
collected from the study population:
Outcome variables
The survey will generate an initial outcome variable which will
be a binary measure of whether or not a child was fully
vaccinated. Full immunization status is interpreted as a child
between 12 -23 months old who had been immunized fully as
per relevant guidelines in place in each country. Access for
most children is determined by coverage of Diphtheria 1 and
Diphtheria 3 and Measles. For instance, if it is vaccinated with
DPT1 at 6 weeks, the ability to access such a service is high.
Mother-Child Independent Variables
There will be two categories of independent variables namely,
individual (child and maternal) and district (contextual)
indicators (Zheng et al., 2013). Both the sets of variables
mainly dwelled on vital statistics.
District-Level Independent Variables
These variables captured the district ambient economic facts.
Additionally, to provide a rational of the environment-specific
challenges women faced, factors such as barriers to hospital
access, lack of husbands or someone accompanying them, as
well as the attitude of the healthcare workforce (Zheng et al.,
2013).
