  • What are some current trends in health care impacting organizational change? Provide specific examples.

EMR technology changes in a healthcare organization during implementation.

The need for a change in EMR technology in a healthcare industry had become very important for the organization, employees, and patient care; however, it is difficult to embrace change, especially a change in technology if the change is not properly communicated. When organizations communicate effectively the need for the change, the employees are less bound to resist the change. However, in the changing process the Healthcare workers were not fully involved and did not fully understand all the benefits and functionalities of the system. This type of resistance need to be put into perspective; an issue such as this can affect the organizational goals, and if leadership fails to recognize and address that resistance, it can derail a change process completely and eventually lead to a failed organization.

  • What do you see happening with these trends in the future?

EMR is used to store and access patient healthcare information electronically (HIMSS, 2010). These patient records are generated when patients interact with the healthcare facilities and providers through patient care. EMR is an application environment that is composed of the clinical data repository, clinical decision support, controlled medical vocabulary, and order entry among others.

Nurses / Healthcare workers are the first to initiate EMR before the Physicians sees the patients. If any changes occur technically within the EMR, they should be informed and attend training classes to understand their new responsibilities and any changes of how data is to be input. It is important that technological changes meet the needs of medical practitioners, patients, healthcare workers, organizational leaders, and government agencies.

Evaluate the Process

For this assignment, you must write a reflection paper where you consider the process and outcomes achieved via your pilot study, and you will identify and articulate changes you would make if you were implementing a new large-scale imitative to foster continuous improvement within your organization.  Next, you should consider how you would align your plan to the larger organizational strategy.  This assignment will help build the foundation required to design your intervention next Week.  

Your paper must include two sections: (1) your reflection of the process and outcomes of the pilot; and (2) your proposed large-scale plan and its alignment to the larger organizational strategy. 

Your evaluation should be based on the assumed value creation that can be achieved through a large-scale intervention.  When considering the value creation, consider the following:

  • Review the original business case that you created in Week 1 and consider how the findings from your pilot study align with your original business case and the extent to which you were able to address your problem.
  • Reflect on the process as well as the outcomes of the process.
  • Determine changes needed to help the process best achieve your outcomes.
  • Determine how you can best obtain stakeholder buy-in and alignment to move forward with a large-scale initiative.

Length: 5-7 page paper (APA), not including title and reference pages

Parent Teaching

Due in 6 hours from now 

It’s a one page assignment pls check questions below 

  

Parent Teaching Project (5%)

A critical component of pediatric nursing is teaching parents how to care for their child, particularly during an illness or after a procedure.  To develop this skill, the student will complete a parent teaching project. 

Students will be assigned a topic and developmental stage upon which to focus.  With that information, the student will need to determine what health education (AKA parent/patient teaching) needs to be conducted prior to this virtual patient being discharged.  The students will then role-play the teaching session, using a student chosen by the instructor as the “parent” and with the rest of the clinical group observing. 

The project must include:

  • A      1-page attached document discussing the assessment of a parents’ readiness      to learn and barriers to learning
  • The      critical components of home care for the assigned topic
  • Developmentally      appropriate instruction-
    • The       teaching reflects the developmental level of the parent and patient.       (e.g., home care instructions for an infant should include the food       appropriate for an infant rather than a school aged child).
  • A      written handout that summarizes the “take home” points for the parent to      keep as a reference after the teaching session.
  • A      bibliography containing no fewer than three professional journal articles      with one being a pediatric specific article.  The articles must be      less than five years old.  Use of APA format for references is      expected.  
  • A      clear, creative, logical progression geared to a learner at an 8th      grade level

I need these two outlines to be combined into one to discuss how nature and nurture affect language development

Thesis: Nature is a precursor to language development that needs the compliments of nurture for a child to be well versed with its first language

I. Introduction 

A. Thesis: Nature is a precursor to language development that needs the compliments of nurture for a child to be well versed with its first language

II. What is the importance of nurture in language development?

A. With respect to language development, there have been many schools of thought regarding the importance of nurture or on the flip side, its irrelevance. The importance of nurture, however, is undeniable.

B. One evidence of the importance of nurture is that children will speak the language that is at their predisposition; an American born child will both speak and be fluent in English or Mandarin depending on whether it will grow in New York or Beijing. 

III. What do behaviorists say about nurture’s role in language development?

A. With respect to language acquisition in children and nurture, behaviorists posit that the environment within which a child grows is the most relevant factor in the acquisition of its first language. 

B. What’s more, it has been noted that if a child is predisposed to rich language then good habit formation will take place and proper development of language will occur. The role of nurture is very important where parents and guardians play the role of a support system to better the language development of a child (Friedmann & Rusou, 2015).

C. Examples of duties that parents and guardians (teachers included) need to play is giving children attention, asking them questions, using labels and help them with naming, and generally socially interacting with children (Berk, L. (2017). 

IV. Conclusion 

A. Nurture and nature both play a role in language development. As such, there is no dismissing nurture with respect to influencing a child to speak well. The moment the world accepts this as a reality, the better it will be for the young ones who are developing. 

B. Parents play the biggest role in nurture i.e. to help children develop their language; teachers come second in playing this role. Children’s peers also help them develop language.

C. For that matter parents should be aware of their nurturing role and pronounce words correctly when they speak near children; they should not mimic the gibberish spoken by children.

Personal and Professional Development Plan

Structure your action plan to address these four topics:

  • List the remaining steps to secure a fieldwork site, including verifying whether there are specific state requirements for supervision. Some states have specific qualifications for supervisors. Double check whether or not your state does. What skills do you need to strengthen prior to, and during, practicum in order to prepare for more ongoing work with clients in internship.
  • With the demands of fieldwork in mind, describe a plan to maintain balance between your personal and professional commitments. How can you prepare your support system to help you address this plan?
  • Verify which licensure exam(s) are needed for entry and independent licensure in your state. Using resources reviewed in Unit 5, describe your plan for preparing for these exams.
  • Identify professional organizations and activities selected to facilitate progress toward professional development goals. Consider how you will pursue appropriate skill development to be a culturally competent, ethical, and clinically skilled counselor.

Part 1 of the Assignment:

  • First, describe how information is transmitted through the nervous system. Starting with the dendrites, how does the signal from the previous neuron enter the neuron? How is it integrated? How is information transmitted from the cell body to the presynaptic terminal? How does information leave one neuron to carry the signal to the next neuron?
  • Then, identify and explain the neurobiology (anatomy and physiology) of a Stroke. What parts of the brain are affected by your assigned injury or trauma? What are the potential manifestations of the trauma based on the location of the injury or trauma? 

Part 2 of the Assignment: 

  • Summarize the article attached: “The effects of Nintendo Wii™-based balance and upper extremity training on activities of daily living and quality of life in patients with sub-acute stroke: a randomized controlled study”
  • Provide enough detail that your reader can understand the article and talk about it to someone else, similar to what you saw in the articles from BioPsychology.com in this week’s Discussion. What did the researchers do in their study? Were they attempting to understand the neurobiology of the condition, measuring the recovery of function after the injury, or testing out a new treatment?
  • Explain how the article you read extends your knowledge of this topic from what was described in the textbook.

 Instructions

For this assignment, you will create a communication strategy that fosters change and innovation in an organization. Explain the context in which it occurs and the options that are available. Develop a solution that will solve the organizational issue and meet the needs of the people involved.

Feel free to use the same organization you researched for the Unit VI and Unit VII Assignments. You are not limited to this organization, but it may be easier to complete the assignment since you have already researched it for Unit VI and/or Unit VII. You can use the same sources for all assignments, if applicable.

In the report, you will provide a potential audience analysis, create a purposeful message, and discuss a type of channel that you could use for feedback. Include answers to Neal’s (2010) communication questions, which are listed below:

  1. What am I trying to achieve?
  2. How will my audience react to what I am trying to achieve?
  3. Will my message be resisted?
  4. What do I know about my audience that will help me tailor my message? (p. 40)

Do not include the question/answers in a bullet or list format. Instead, integrate the responses in your paragraphs.

Use the standard five-paragraph format (introduction/body/conclusion). Include at least two academic sources. APA format should be used. The assignment should be a minimum of two pages in length. Content, organization, and grammar/mechanics will be evaluated.

PM – Ethics

 

Write a 1-page paper, using MS Word, which addresses each of the following points:

  • Your analysis of the definitions of ethics and the importance of a project manager adhering to a “code of ethics” (i.e., What effect on human behaviors will the code have?).
  • Identify what you think are the top three behaviors in what you would adopt as “your” code of ethics as it pertains to project management.
  • What are considered to be “ethical” business behaviors vary from country to country around the world. For example, in some European countries, it is considered to be a savvy business practice to buy a product which is in limited supply with the sole intent of re-selling it for a higher price, whereas in the U.S. this might be considered to be illegal “scalping.” How would you act as a project manager if you were working on an international assignment which called for you to do something which is considered to be “ethical” in another country but “not ethical” in the United States?
  • Use the following sub-titles for this part of the Assignment:
    • Definition of ethics
    • Importance of project managers adhering to a “code of ethics”
    • Top three behaviors in your personal code of ethics (be sure to link these behaviors to project management)
    • How a project manager should respond to varying “situational” standards of ethics as they are encountered from country to country.

you will need to write a (2) two-page summary on that article.

Specific points to include in your summary are:

  1. title of article, author name, and date of publication,
  2. what the thesis statement of the article is,
  3. what main points the author makes in support of the article’s thesis statement,
  4. any supporting points/data the author includes to strengthen the article’s thesis statement,
  5. a thorough description of the economic theory concept (class material) the article is related to, and
  6. how the economic theory concept you selected is directly related to the article’s thesis statement.

Please note that many articles published within The Economist are published without naming an author.  This is because the articles are written collaborative between several staff members and the magazine does not believe in naming only one author.  If your article does not have an author named, please state “author unknown” in your summary analysis.

Summaries must be type-written, double-spaced using no larger than 12-point font and 1” margins on 8 ½” X 11” paper.  You may not use the same economic theory concept to analyze more than one of your articles.  Furthermore, any student submission that exceeds two pages (with stated specifications) will lose points for not adhering to length requirement.   The articles used for submission must be published after January 1, 2021.  Additionally, a hyperlink to the actual article analyzed must also be included at the end of your analysis.  Students who fail to include this hyperlink to their selected article will receive zero points for their work.  All student work must be submitted in a current version of Microsoft Word.  Files submitted via the course “assignments” page formatted in any other file format will not be graded.

you will need to write a (2) two-page summary on that article.
