Building on the work you completed in Weeks Two and Four, you will complete a feasibility study based on a pre-approved health care project of your choice. Using the feasibility study outlined in the Daniels and Dickson (1990) article as a model, and including a minimum of six other scholarly sources, create a 12- to 15-page feasibility study that includes the following headings and supporting information:
Evaluating Feasibility
The concept of a feasibility study is central to viability, the “worth to the effort” ratio, and return on investment (ROI). What needs to be taken into consideration to create a feasibility study (e.g., human resources, community needs, and technological advances, federal and state regulatory issues)? Within this section, you will research and design an economical health care service that is responsive to a given market. This research stems from understanding your target population and present need in health services. Furthermore, as you have seen from the Daniels and Dickson (1990) article, you must appraise your human resources, capital investment, and how your effort will yield a return on investment from a facilities perspective as well as the tangible greater good of providing healthcare to a community.
Strategic Effect
Analyze the role of public policy with regard to your project. What policies and processes should be in place to create an effective program? How will you measure the effectiveness of your program and your provision of health care services? Develop a microeconomic model that is responsive to the specific health care service demands of your target population. For example, the current trend of the medical home model, which allows for the coordination of care, allows for better communication among service providers as well as convenience for patients. Is the population a market priority? How does your program serve a need for your target population?
Market Analysis
Within this section you will identify the population demographics, who your competitors are, and whether or not a real need for the services you are proposing exists in the community. As you examine the demographic and population needs using Census data and other reliable sources, you must also consider what competitors, if any, exist in the present climate. This requires an evaluation of the present socioeconomic and cultural trends influencing how people make decisions in health care. In addition, in this analysis you will need to compare and contrast economic challenges and incentives among health care’s organization models. This comparison requires an understanding of past challenges and incentives that other organizations have implemented.
Financial Analysis
This section includes the revenue, expenses, and net income. Compare and contrast economic challenges and incentives by finding and describing multiple sources of public and private funding (e.g., grants, donations, awards, special projects) for this .

Complete a systematic evaluation of a unit, facility, or organization with which you are familiar, in an attempt to identify the need to address the economic health care issue.
Introduction
Note: Each assessment in this course builds upon the work you have completed in previous assessments. Therefore, you must complete the assessments in the order in which they are presented.
As a master's-level health care practitioner, you may sometimes be tasked with the need to complete a systematic evaluation as a way of improving your organization’s outcomes. In this assessment, you will have a chance to practice these skills by completing a systematic evaluation of a unit, facility, or organization that you are familiar with in an attempt to identify the need to address the economic health care issue that you presented in the previous assessment. This systematic evaluation is often referred to as a needs analysis. Understanding how to do a needs analysis will be key as you advance through your career in the health care environment.

This systematic evaluation is often referred to as a needs analysis. Understanding how to do a needs analysis will be key as you advance through your career in the health care environment.
Instructions
Be sure to address each main point. Review the assessment instructions and scoring guide, including performance-level descriptions for each criterion, to ensure you understand the work you will be asked to complete and how it will be assessed. In addition, note the requirements for document format and length and for supporting evidence.
Overall, you will be assessed on the following criteria:
· Summarize your chosen economic issue and its impact on your work, organization, colleagues, and community.
1. Reiterate your rationale for pursuing this issue, as well as the gap contributing to it that you identified in your previous assessment.
· Identify any socioeconomic or diversity disparities that exist with how your chosen economic issue impacts any particular groups or populations.
2. Use at least one piece of evidence to support this disparity (public health data, aggregated data from an organization, or other scholarly resources).
· Explain the findings of evidence-based or scholarly sources regarding the need to address your chosen issue and pursue potential change or implementation plans.
3. For example, if your implementati.

Learning Outcomes
This week students will:
1. Compare and contrast cost benefit analysis and cost utility analysis.
2. Analyze the role of pricing transparency in health care.
3. Develop a SWOT analysis for a proposed health care services project.
Introduction
Price setting and profitability depend on several factors as stated by Porter’s model, which include nature of rivalry, bargaining power of customers (patients) and risk of entry by potential rivals. This week, we will explore health administrative innovations with an eye toward health care delivery and service demands. It is critical to appraise projects using cost benefit analysis and utility analysis to ascertain if a procedure is worth the cost or if a specific process can be done more efficiently. In addition, this has to take into account pricing. As noted in our text, “Pricing is a continuing challenge for healthcare organizations for three reasons” (Lee, 2009, p. 169). First, leaders don’t have clear pricing strategy. Second, leaders lack the necessary data to make a good decision and, finally, one pricing model does not fit every department or organization (Lee, 2009). This week we will explore aspects of pricing transparency as well as ideas on how clear strategies and accurate data are necessary in good decision making.

Assessment 1• Proposing a New InitiativeResearch an economic.docxgalerussel59292
Assessment 1
• Proposing a New Initiative
Research an economic opportunity that might be available within your health care setting that will provide ethical and culturally equitable improvements to the quality of care. Then, write a 2–4-page proposal for an initiative to take advantage of that opportunity, supported with economic data and an analysis of the prospective benefits.
Note: Each assessment in this course builds upon the work you have completed in previous assessments. Therefore, you must complete the assessments in the order in which they are presented.
Master's-level health care practitioners are charged with the responsibility of constantly scanning the external environment for shifts in the supply of, and demand for, services. Concurrently, leaders must examine their organization's strategic direction and determine whether adjustments must be made to current service offerings, whether equipment updates are needed, whether staffing models should be changed, and whether other decisions must be made. Each decision that is proposed must be evaluated in terms of the organization as a system, alignment with the organization's mission and strategy, available internal resources, potential contract and payer source implications, and the short- and long-term economic effects at both the micro and macro levels.

The primary purpose of a crime scene search is to develop associativ.docxgabrielaj9
The primary purpose of a crime scene search is to develop associative evidence that could link a suspect to the scene or a victim and to answer questions crucial to the investigation, such as who perpetrated the crime, how the crime was committed, the circumstances surrounding the commission of the crime, and why the crime was committed. Additionally, police search crime scenes to identify evidence through which a psychological profile of the suspect can be developed, to identify an object(s) that does not logically belong at the crime scene and that could potentially be linked to a suspect, and to identify the suspect’s modus operandi (MO), or motive for committing the crime.
For the purpose of this assignment, you are an investigator on your way to a murder crime scene. Research the following points and write a 5–7-page paper fully explaining each point:
The detective assigned to this murder investigation has never handled a homicide. As she drives you to the scene, you begin to assess the things you already know, and you start to formulate a plan for the crime scene search.
Using the 2 crime scene sketches provided
here
for interior and
here
for exterior, write a proposal for how the crime scene should be searched.
Identify the areas that will be searched and what type evidence you might expect to find in those areas.
Create a set of instructions for all of the department personnel who will be available, and assign them roles.

Assessment 1• Proposing a New InitiativeResearch an economic.docxgalerussel59292
Assessment 1
• Proposing a New Initiative
Research an economic opportunity that might be available within your health care setting that will provide ethical and culturally equitable improvements to the quality of care. Then, write a 2–4-page proposal for an initiative to take advantage of that opportunity, supported with economic data and an analysis of the prospective benefits.
Note: Each assessment in this course builds upon the work you have completed in previous assessments. Therefore, you must complete the assessments in the order in which they are presented.
Master's-level health care practitioners are charged with the responsibility of constantly scanning the external environment for shifts in the supply of, and demand for, services. Concurrently, leaders must examine their organization's strategic direction and determine whether adjustments must be made to current service offerings, whether equipment updates are needed, whether staffing models should be changed, and whether other decisions must be made. Each decision that is proposed must be evaluated in terms of the organization as a system, alignment with the organization's mission and strategy, available internal resources, potential contract and payer source implications, and the short- and long-term economic effects at both the micro and macro levels.

data communications. This includes topology concepts and related technologies that are inter-woven
together in an intricate manner. The manner and methods of data transmission, internetworking concepts
as well as protocols used in data communications.
TASK LIST
The assignment consists of three tasks, which require students to carry out research, write a report on
their findings as well as analyse the techniques used in data communication.
Task 2 - IPv4
The network layer protocol in the TCP/IP protocol suite is currently IPv4 (Internet Protocol, version 4).
IPv4 provides the host-to-host communication between systems in the Internet. Although IPv4 is well
designed, data communication has evolved since the inception of IPv4 in the 1970s. IPv4 has some
deficiencies that make it unsuitable for the fast-growing Internet.
To overcome these deficiencies, IPv6 (Internet Protocol, version 6), also known as IPng (Internetworking
Protocol, next generation) was proposed and is now a standard.
***Write a report on IPv4. Your report should include:
- An introduction to IPv4
- Description of IPv4 with a diagram of the IPv4 architecture.
- Disadvantages and issues of IPv4 that led to the development of IPv6.

The primary purpose of a crime scene search is to develop associativ.docxgabrielaj9
The primary purpose of a crime scene search is to develop associative evidence that could link a suspect to the scene or a victim and to answer questions crucial to the investigation, such as who perpetrated the crime, how the crime was committed, the circumstances surrounding the commission of the crime, and why the crime was committed. Additionally, police search crime scenes to identify evidence through which a psychological profile of the suspect can be developed, to identify an object(s) that does not logically belong at the crime scene and that could potentially be linked to a suspect, and to identify the suspect’s modus operandi (MO), or motive for committing the crime.
For the purpose of this assignment, you are an investigator on your way to a murder crime scene. Research the following points and write a 5–7-page paper fully explaining each point:
The detective assigned to this murder investigation has never handled a homicide. As she drives you to the scene, you begin to assess the things you already know, and you start to formulate a plan for the crime scene search.
Using the 2 crime scene sketches provided

The president of Russia is considered the head of the state and the government, while the prime minister serves as his deputy (the equivalent of a Vice President in the United States of America). They are co-heads of the government, and they both belong to the same political party – United Russia (though Putin ran as an independent in 2018).
The president of Russia has a central role in the government’s political system. The president mainly influences the executive branch’s activities. He also appoints the prime minister and other members of the government, chairs the cabinet’s meetings, and gives orders to his deputy and other members regarding governance. He can also revoke any act or law passed by the government.
Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev (left) with Russian President Vladimir Putin (right)
“Russia needs to radically overhaul its administrative and judicial systems and embrace new technology otherwise economic stagnation could threaten its security, Vladimir Putin’s chief adviser on economic reform has warned.
Alexei Kudrin, the former finance minister, was asked by Mr Putin last year to come up with a new strategy for economic policymaking for the next term, following the president’s planned re-election next year.
Outlining his plans on Friday, Mr Kudrin said: “We have come to face the problem that Russia has fallen behind technologically in the world. That, in my view, is the most serious challenge we face in the coming 10 to 15 years.”

“We will struggle with diminishing defense potential and threats to national sovereignty if we don’t become a technological power. Even military experts say that technological challenges facing Russia are bigger than geopolitical and military ones,” Mr Kudrin said.
“Our entire foreign policy should be subordinated to the task of technological development.”
Russia is popularly known as the world’s second largest natural gas producer and the 3rd largest oil producer. The country has a large number of major oil and gas companies. Most of the top oil companies in Russia have continued to maintain significant downstream and upstream gas and oil operations. This includes retail service stations, exploration and production divisions and petroleum refineries.
This is the largest oil company in Russia. Reports show that the company produced around 1.5 billion barrels of oil in the year 2014. Besides, the company is also ranked as the 3rd largest natural gas company in the world with a production of more than 347 million barrels of oil equivalent.
The company’s market capitalization is around $38.7 billion which automatically makes it the highest valued gas and oil company. Rosneft operates 13 refineries in the country and has shown tremendous interest in around seven refineries based in Eastern and Western Europe. The company maintains exploration and production operation in countries such as Canada, Vietnam, USA, Norway and.

The presentations yesterday and today covered these three important women in the Progressive Era: Ida Wells, Lillian Wald and Emma Goldman. We briefly covered some areas of activity that they were, respectively, involved in.
What I would like from you is to do some additional research on any one of the three and tell me something more about them. You can choose to focus on their overall life's work, or a particular issue that they spoke out in favor of (or against). Examples of what you could write about: Wells' role in the National Negro Conference and formation of the NAACP; Wald's advocacy of nursing, especially in public schools; Goldman's advocacy on behalf of female contraception or same-sex relations (for Goldman, leave alone her life after 1920, when she was not in the U. S., unless you chose to write about her reaction to the Sacco and Vanzetti trial and executions).
Two or three paragraphs should suffice, but I'm looking for more than just a few sentences in each.

In this chapter you will learn:
See how the Constitution defines the presidency.
Focus on presidential power.
Learn what presidents do.
Reflect on presidential popularity—and greatness.
Consider the personal side of the office.

CHAPTER 11: THE PRESIDENCY
Defining the Presidency
Three essential features about the American president:
The president personifies America.
More than any individual, presidents tell us who we are, and what we are becoming.
The president injects new ideas into American politics.
Our discussion of Congress emphasized the institution, the rules of the game; the presidency puts more focus on individuals and ideas.
The president has enormous powers.
That authority raises a fundamental question: Is the president too powerful for a democratic republic? Or is the office too weak to do what Americans demand of it?

CHAPTER 11: THE PRESIDENCY
The President’s Powers
Article 2 of the Constitution defines the presidency:
Says very little about who the president is and what he/she does
The president has three kinds of powers:
expressed in the Constitution
delegated by Congress
inherent in the role of chief executive
In theory, Congress passes laws and the president executes them.
In reality, presidents constantly negotiate the limits of their power—which often expand during crises.
CHAPTER 11: THE PRESIDENCY
Expressed powers: Powers the Constitution explicitly grants to the president.
Delegated powers: Powers that Congress passes on to the president.
Inherent powers: Powers assumed by presidents, often during a crisis, on the basis of the constitutional phrase, “The executive power shall be vested in the president.”
Executive privilege: Power claimed by the president to resist requests for authority by Congress, the courts, or the public. Not mentioned in the Constitution but based on the separation of powers.
Executive agreements: an international agreement made by the president that does not require the approval of the Senate.

The map views are useful for providing a geographical representation of data. They allow users to visualize and analyze the data in a more intuitive manner.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

Final Paper
Building on the work you completed in Weeks Two and Four,
you will complete a feasibility study based on a pre-approved
health care project of your choice. Using the feasibility study
outlined in the Daniels and Dickson (1990) article as a model,
and including a minimum of six other scholarly sources, create
a 12- to 15-page feasibility study that includes the following
headings and supporting information:
Evaluating Feasibility
The concept of a feasibility study is central to viability, the
“worth to the effort” ratio, and return on investment (ROI).
What needs to be taken into consideration to create a feasibility
study (e.g., human resources, community needs, and
technological advances, federal and state regulatory issues)?
Within this section, you will research and design an economical
health care service that is responsive to a given market. This
research stems from understanding your target population and
present need in health services. Furthermore, as you have seen
from the Daniels and Dickson (1990) article, you must appraise
your human resources, capital investment, and how your effort
will yield a return on investment from a facilities perspective as
well as the tangible greater good of providing healthcare to a
community.
Strategic Effect
Analyze the role of public policy with regard to your project.
What policies and processes should be in place to create an
4. effective program? How will you measure the effectiveness of
your program and your provision of health care services?
Develop a microeconomic model that is responsive to the
specific health care service demands of your target population.
For example, the current trend of the medical home model,
which allows for the coordination of care, allows for better
communication among service providers as well as convenience
for patients. Is the population a market priority? How does your
program serve a need for your target population?
Market Analysis
Within this section you will identify the population
demographics, who your competitors are, and whether or not a
real need for the services you are proposing exists in the
community. As you examine the demographic and population
needs using Census data and other reliable sources, you must
also consider what competitors, if any, exist in the present
climate. This requires an evaluation of the present
socioeconomic and cultural trends influencing how people make
decisions in health care. In addition, in this analysis you will
need to compare and contrast economic challenges and
incentives among health care’s organization models. This
comparison requires an understanding of past challenges and
incentives that other organizations have implemented.
Financial Analysis
This section includes the revenue, expenses, and net income.
Compare and contrast economic challenges and incentives by
finding and describing multiple sources of public and private
funding (e.g., grants, donations, awards, special projects) for
this project. Include a reference list for your funding sources
that is formatted in APA as outlined in the Ashford Writing
5. Center. Next, identify the funding constraints for each source.
Include limitations of monies awarded, timing issues, fitting the
needs of the funding sources, difficulties of connecting with
private funders, etc. Finally, specify the internal ramifications
of moving forward using SWOT analysis. What are the fixed
and variable costs associated with your project? What are the
annual maintenance and operation costs? Elaborate on how you
arrived at your sensitivity analysis conclusions.
Operations Performance
This section examines the incremental effect of how your
proposed service will impact all aspects of health services. This
portion of the study explores how the statistical data you have
researched affects the proposed service in terms of efficiency
and value. This can be difficult to measure initially. However,
through incremental and ongoing evaluation of operations, you
can begin to see what constitutes the best performance in this
instance and how it serves the target population. In this section,
you will further illustrate the incentives and challenges faced by
a health organization and communicate the relevance of
economics within the U.S. health care system as it pertains to
your proposed services.
Inpatient
If your proposed study has an inpatient component, this section
will analyze on volume of patients, types of payers, and how
utilization rates impact your proposed study. In addition, you
will further explain how your new inpatient service will add
value for patients and improve the financial viability of the
institution. This section will require you to use both qualitative
and quantitative data to justify the plan. Hospitals operate in
terms of how many beds are occupied relative to how many are
6. empty. Most CEOs want to see that a unit is running at near full
capacity and that volume is increasing year to year. Analyze
how your proposal will meet these demands by explaining the
data you have collected and predicting potential financial
outcomes. Finally, evaluate and explain how value-based care
will impact your ability to maintain margins within this newly
proposed service.
Outpatient
If your proposed study has an outpatient component, examine
how admissions, revenue, and workflow of staff will improve
the efficiency of your proposed service. Analyze how your
outpatient service will add value for patients and improve the
financial viability of the institution. Justify your plan with
appropriate data. As stated in the inpatient section, the content
here applies much the same way. However, the caveat for
outpatient services lies in the ambulatory setting. This aspect
should be most interesting under conditions created by the
Affordable Care Act. The new paradigm shift will be toward
more preventative, primary, and outpatient care settings to
reduce the numbers of patients being admitted to hospitals.
Please explain how your proposal takes these conditions into
consideration. In this section, you will further compare and
contrast economic challenges and incentives among health
care’s organization models in an outpatient setting. You will
also further augment your design in an economic framework
that is responsive to your market.
Outlook
This section examines future implications of your proposed
services and how they will impact the future health outcomes of
the community and financial health of the services being
7. provided. Analyze economic theories that are germane to the
provision of your proposed health services. What adjustments
might you need to make in terms of what the “unintended
consequences” may be? For example, Baylor Hospital in
Houston proposed and spent 250 million to create a brand new
hospital that currently stands empty because it was built during
the U.S. economic downturn, the loan was no longer able to
finance the construction, and the initial examination of its
necessity did not play out as expected. Provide conclusions and
implications of how your feasibility study fits within the larger
context of the system of services currently being provided. How
do they work with one another within the larger health care
system?
Finally, evaluate how your study will respond to market and
design models that impact the community based on current
regulatory and market needs.
