Overview

In this age of acute competition and alignment of providers, systems are evolving to improve contracting opportunities, including population health, Accountable Care organizations, and models of health care delivery. They are targeting quality care at a value price. This assignment explores a provider of your choice to determine their desirability to be a member of a system and recommend improvements they may need to make to become more competitive in their market.

Requirements

Write a 2–3 page proposal in which you evaluate and make recommendations for a provider you have chosen in terms of safety, quality, and evidence-informed health care by doing the following:

• Choose a health care provider—nursing home, hospital, home care, etc.
• Using the search function on Medicare.gov to review your provider’s measures on safety, quality, and evidence-informed health care.
• Pay attention to the publicly reported outcomes on mortality, rehospitalization, and infection rates, as well as patient satisfaction and preventive care.
  • Note: If you have chosen a home health provider, use the Home Health Quality Measures website to review their home health quality measures.
• Identify other providers in the same geographic area, review their outcomes, and compare your provider (e.g., search by Zip code).
• Determine how these outcomes impact this provider as a potential member for a health system, Accountable Care organization, or as a contender to obtain population health contracts.
• Based on the reports, determine which quality initiative the providers should address through evidence-based practices, such as safety, quality, rehospitalizations, mortality, etc.
• Would your provider be the desired member of a system?
• What is your recommendation for this provider to improve their outcomes in order to improve reimbursement and to become a desirable member of a system of providers?
•  Note: Wikipedia and similar websites are do not qualify as academic resources.

Lab #11:

Write a program that will do the following:

1. In main, declare an array of size 20 and name it “randomArray.”  Use the function in step 2 to fill the array.  Use the function in step 3 to print the array.  
2. Create a function that generates 20 random integers with a range of 1 to 10 and places them into an array.  Re-cycle the functions from Lab 10 where appropriate.
   • Make this a function.
   • There will be two arguments in the parameter list of this function:  an array and the size of the array.
     • Within the function and the function prototype name the array:  intArray.
     • Within the function and the function prototype name the size of the array:  size.
   • The data type of the function will be void since the array will be sent back through the parameter list.
   • Bring in the function that generates and returns a random number that you created from the previous module.  Call that function from this within the loop that adds random numbers to the array.
3. Display the contents of the array.  Re-cycle the function that prints out the contents of an integer array from Lab 10.
   • Make this a function.
   • There will be two arguments in the parameter list of this function:  an array and the size of the array.
     • Within the function and the function prototype name the array:  intArray.
     • Within the function and the function prototype name the size of the array:  size.
   • The data type of the function will be void since the array will be sent back through the parameter list.
4. From main, generate one more random number (also from 1 to 10) from the random number function.  Do not put this in an array.  This is a stand alone variable that contains one random number.
5. Search though the array and count how many times the extra random number occurs.  It is possible that the extra random number may occur more than once or not at all.

Output:

•  Display the entire array.

•  Display the extra random number.

•  Depending upon the result of your search, display one of the following:

–  How many times the random number occurs.

–  That the random number did not occur at all.

Also include:

• Use a sentinel driven outer While Loop to repeat the task
  • Ask the User if they wish to generate a new set of random numbers
• Clear the previous list of numbers from the output screen before displaying the new set.

NOTE 1: Other than the prompt to repeat the task, there is no input from the User in this program.
NOTE 2: This program will have 3 functions:

1. The function that fills the array with random numbers.
2. The function that generates one random number at a time (re-use the one from Lab 10).
3. The function that prints out an array of integers (re-use the one from Lab 10).

Searching Through Arrays

Now that we can store large amounts of data we are ready to learn was to process the data. One way is to search through the data we have stored.

To search for instances of a value in an Array, you use a looping structure – which begins with the starting position of the Array and loops through each consecutive cell. There are two types of searches.

If you are searching for a value where only one instance will occur in the array (no duplicates) then you search until the value is found or until you reach the end of the array. If more than one instance can occur in the array then you must search until you reach the end of the array. If you are not sure whether there will be only one instance of a value or not then you assume it could occur more than once and use the second method.

Searching for a single instance of a value in an Array

When searching for one instance, you use a sentinel driven While or Do Loop. When setting up the condition for the looping structure, you must stop when one of two things occur:

You must stop when the value is found

OR

You must stop when you reach the end of the Array

The pseudo-code would look like this:

initialize index to the beginning index value of your Array
initialize a flag (Boolean variable) to false to represent element not found
WHILE the flag is equal to false AND index is less than size of Array
      IF the element at Array (index) is equal to the element you are searching for THEN
             flag is assigned true (element found)
      ELSE
             increment index
      END IF
END WHILE

• This will cycle through all of the elements stored in the Array and stop when the element is found OR when you are at the end of the Array – whichever comes first.
• When the Loop ends the value of index will be one of two values. You can determine whether or not the element was found based upon the index value.
  • The Index Value will either contain the position of where the element was found OR it will be equal to the size of the array.
    • Remember, the condition to end the loop must be false – so the variable that counts will contain the size of the array if the element was not found.
• When the Loop ends the value of flag will be either True or False.
  • If the value of flag is True then the element was found and index value will indicate where.
  • If the value of the flag is False then the element was not found and index will be equal to the size of the array.

Remember:

• Value was NOT FOUND:
  • If the value of index is equal to the size of the array AND the flag is still false then the element was not found.
• Value was FOUND:
  • If the value of index is NOT equal to the size of the array AND the Boolean flag is true then this means that the element was found and index contains the position number of where the element was found.

NOTE 1: This is only one way to search for a element contained within an Array. There are many other ways.

NOTE 2: This assumes there is only one instance of an element in the Array.

Searching for duplicate instances of a value in an Array

If you need to search for a value that can occur more than once in an array then you need to cycle through the ENTIRE Array (instead of stopping when the first instance is found) and count (using a different counter than the Loop index) how many times the element occurred. Within each cycle, a comparison is made between the value you are searching for and the contents of the cell. Each time there is a match you count it by incrementing a counter.

Initialize the counter to 0 (to start counting)
FOR (index is equal to beginning index value of Array, index is less than size of Array, increment index by 1)
      IF the element at Array (index) is equal to the element you are searching for THEN
             increment the counter (element found)
      END IF
END FOR

In this algorithm, when the looping structure ends the counter will either be zero or it will contain the number of instances the value occurred within the array. If the counter is zero then there were no instances of the value in the array.

  I will upload for you the textbook

 Properly identifying the cause and type of a patient’s skin condition involves a process of elimination known as differential diagnosis. Using this process, a health professional can take a given set of physical abnormalities, vital signs, health assessment findings, and patient descriptions of symptoms, and incrementally narrow them down until one diagnosis is determined as the most likely cause.

In this Assignment, you will examine several visual representations of various skin conditions, describe your observations, and use the techniques of differential diagnosis to determine the most likely condition.

To Prepare

• Review the      Skin Conditions document provided in this week’s Learning Resources, and      select one condition to closely examine for this Lab Assignment.
• Consider the      abnormal physical characteristics you observe in the graphic you selected.      How would you describe the characteristics using clinical terminologies?
• Explore      different conditions that could be the cause of the skin abnormalities in      the graphics you selected.
• Consider      which of the conditions is most likely to be the correct diagnosis, and      why.
• Search for      one evidence-based practice, peer-reviewed article based on the skin      condition you chose for this Lab Assignment.
• Review the      Comprehensive SOAP Exemplar found in this week’s Learning Resources to      guide you as you prepare your SOAP note.
• Download the      SOAP Template found in this week’s Learning Resources, and use this      template to complete this Lab Assignment.

The Lab Assignment

• Choose one      skin condition graphic (identify by number in your Chief Complaint) to      document your assignment in the SOAP (Subjective, Objective, Assessment,      and Plan) note format rather than the traditional narrative style. Refer      to Chapter 2 of the Sullivan text and the Comprehensive SOAP Template in      this week’s Learning Resources for guidance. Remember that not all      comprehensive SOAP data are included in every patient case.
• Use clinical      terminologies to explain the physical characteristics featured in the      graphic. Formulate a differential diagnosis of three to five possible conditions for the      skin graphic that you chose. Determine which is most likely to be the      correct diagnosis and explain your reasoning using at least three      different references, one reference from current evidence-based literature      from your search and two different references from this week’s Learning      Resources.

Compare and Contrast Paragraph Draft

After reading Chapter 6 in Along These Lines, write a draft compare and contrast paragraph. The paragraph should use one of the two structures you have learned in this module.

The paragraph should be well-developed, which means: you need a topic sentence, supporting sentences, and a concluding sentence (clincher). The paragraph should be unified and coherent with specific supporting details or examples for support. It should provide sentence variety (simple, compound, and complex sentences). The sentences should be clear, concise, and arranged in a logical order. Transitional words and phrases should be used to provide coherence. Choose one point of view: first, second, or third person.

Complete and submit the draft of your compare and contrast paragraph to Smarthinking no later than Sunday 11:59 PM EST/EDT. Smarthinking can be accessed by clicking the Services link under Resources.

NOTE: When you submit your paragraph, you need to let them know it is a compare and contrast paragraph. The tutors need to know it is a paragraph, not an essay, and which kind of paragraph you are submitting.
