1. <11{1[4(17)17]}> Mrs. Orlof teaches two history classes, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Yesterday she gave the same test to both classes. Anyone who failed the test must take a retest. Since a greater percentage of students who took the morning test failed the test than students who took the afternoon test, more of Orlof’s morning history students than afternoon history students will have to take the retest.

Based on the Community Hospital scenario located in this week’s required reading, conduct a SWOT analysis to generate a list of perceived strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats for the health care organization.

I need an explanation for this Health & Medical question to help me study.

Review the SWOT Analysis Microsoft® PowerPoint® prior to completing this assignment.

Based on the Community Hospital scenario located in this week’s required reading, conduct a SWOT analysis to generate a list of perceived strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats for the health care organization.

Strengths and weaknesses are traits internal to the health care organization (e.g., strong physician loyalty to hospital, aging building, and availability of financial resources).
Opportunities and threats are external to the health care organization (e.g., a mall facility available for lease or a competitor organization opening two physician practices in your market).
Use the SWOT Analysis worksheet provided to complete this assignment.

Write a 700- to 1,400-word analysis that incorporates the key components of a SWOT analysis for the scenario described above to generate a list of perceived strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. The analysis will include the following:

Analyze how this SWOT analysis will be used to form a final recommendation in the full business plan.
Analyze the limitations and advantages of conducting a SWOT analysis on your own (versus with a group of stakeholders).
Use the table provided to record your analysis of the information from the strategic planning scenario and generate two factors for each of the SWOT categories (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats).
Cite at least 1 peer-reviewed, scholarly, or similar references to support your assignment.

Format your assignment according to APA guidelines

Evidence-Based Practice Proposal – Section A: Organizational Culture and Readiness Assessment

I’m trying to study for my Health & Medical course and I need some help to understand this question.

 

 

Evidence-Based Practice Proposal – Section A: Organizational Culture and Readiness Assessment

Before making a case for an evidence-based project, it is essential to understand the culture of the organization in order to begin assessing its readiness for EBP implementation.

1.Complete the “Organizational Culture and Readiness for System-Wide Integration of Evidence-Based Practice Survey,” located in the textbook appendix.

2.Develop an analysis of 250 words from the results, addressing your organization’s readiness level, possible project barriers and facilitators, as well as how to integrate clinical inquiry.

3.Make sure to include the rationale for the survey categories scores that were significantly high and low, incorporating details and/or examples. Also explain how to integrate clinical inquiry into the organization, providing strategies that strengthen the organizations weaker areas.

4.Submit a summary of your results. The actual survey results do not need to be included.

Prepare this assignment according to the APA guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.

Upon receiving feedback from the instructor, revise “Section A: Organizational Culture and Readiness Assessment” for your final paper submission. This will be a continuous process throughout the course for each section.

Evidence-Based Practice Proposal – Section B: Problem Description

Write a paper of 500-750 words (not including the title page and reference page) on your proposed problem description for your EBP project. The paper should address the following:

1.Describe the background of the problem. Tell the story of the issue and why it deserves attention.

2.Identify the stakeholders/change agents. Who, or what organizations, are concerned, may benefit from, or are affected by this proposal. List the interested parties, patients, students, agencies, Joint Commission, etc.

3.Use the feedback from the Topic 2 main forum post and refine your PICOT question. Make sure that the question fits with your graduate degree specialization.

4.State the purpose and project objectives in specific, realistic, and measurable terms. The objective should address what is to be gained. This is a restatement of the question, providing focus. Measurements need to be taken before and after the evidence-based practice is introduced to identify the expected changes.

5.5) Provide supportive rationale that the problem or issue is an important one for nursing to resolve using relevant professional literature sources.

6.Develop an initial reference list to assure that there is adequate literature to support your evidence-based practice project. Follow the “Steps to an Efficient Search to Answer a Clinical Question” box in chapter 3 of the textbook. Use “NUR-699 Search Method Example” to assist you.

7.7) The majority of references should be research articles. However, national sources such as Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), Department of Health and Human Resources (HHS), or the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) and others may be used when you are gathering statistics to provide the rationale for the problem.

8.Once you get into the literature, you may find there is very little research to support your topic and you will have to start all over again. Remember, in order for this to be an evidence-based project, you must have enough evidence to introduce this as a practice change. If you find that you do not have enough supporting evidence to change a practice, then further research would need to be conducted.

Prepare this assignment according to the APA guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.

Discussion Data Management

I don’t know how to handle this Health & Medical question and need guidance.

 

 

Reflect on your experience with different aspects of data management—for example, identifying the target population and relevant measures, access to data sources, strategies for data collection, coordination of data entry, and data analysis to final deliverable to stakeholders. Discuss those areas in which you feel skilled versus those areas that will require more skill development. List at least three activities in which you might engage in your current practice setting that would increase your competencies in the area of data management.

Include at least one reference.

Week 4 – Discussion 1

Your initial discussion thread is due on Day 3 (Thursday) and you have until Day 7 (Monday) to respond to your classmates. Your grade will reflect both the quality of your initial post and the depth of your responses. Reference the Discussion Forum Grading Rubric for guidance on how your discussion will be evaluated.

Record Requirements and Retention

This discussion has two options.  Please choose either Option A or Option B and indicate within your post which option you chose.

Option A: Pretend you are the director of health information at a large medical center that offers inpatient, outpatient, and emergency care at several sites in one state.  Your medical center has announced that it will acquire a facility offering similar services in a neighboring state.  The laws and regulations governing the retention and destruction of health records differ between these states.  (Case Study, p.169)

How would the lack of a consistent set of laws and regulations on these two matters affect the institution you serve?  Outline the specific steps you would take to deal with the current situation.

Option B: Imagine you are an experienced consultant in the field of health information management, you have been asked to deliver a presentation to hospital personnel regarding the legal and ethical issues central to health information management.  In particular, you are expected to provide an overview of the uses and functions of the health record, as well as patient record requirements.  Describe the differences between the clinical and nonclinical functions of the health record.  Which of these functions are more closely related to information management?  Discuss the legal requirements for health records as related to content and timely and complete health records. What are the professional guidelines for this practice?

Guided Response (for Option A and Option B): Review several of your classmates’ posts.  Provide a substantive response to at least two of your peers, one who selected Option A and one who selected Option B.  Describe any similarities and differences between your approach and that of your peer.  Do you agree with their analysis?  Why or why not?  What are one or two strengths and weaknesses of their response?  Make suggestions for solutions to any weaknesses.
