Week 10 Assignment – Fiscal Planning and Management Presentation

  1. Week 10 Assignment – Fiscal Planning and Management Presentation
    Overview
    For this assignment, you will create a narrated PowerPoint presentation designed to train others on the role of healthcare administrations in fiscal planning and fiscal management. This is your opportunity to demonstrate what you have learned about what fiscal planning and management can and should look like for healthcare administrators.
    Instructions
    As a regional healthcare administrator for a long-term care organization, you have been asked to train a new group of healthcare administrators who just completed their degrees. They have no work experience in healthcare administration or financial management. For this assignment, you will develop a 10–12 slide narrated PowerPoint presentation explaining the role of healthcare administrators in fiscal planning and financial management.
    Your presentation should address each of the following:

    • Explain how fiscal planning ties into the strategic planning. Be sure to provide at least two concrete examples. In this context, fiscal planning may be considered strategic financing.
    • Describe the role (direct or indirect) that healthcare administrators play in budgeting. Specifically address the role administrators play in the construction and implementation of operating and capital budgets.
    • Assess how fiscal planning and financial management help ensure that provider organizations remain compliant with federal, state, and local regulations. Conversely, you should assess how those regulations impact fiscal planning and healthcare financial management.
    • Review the 4 Cs of healthcare finance: cost, capital, control, and cash by writing a brief definition of each and explain, with rationale, the impact of the 4 Cs on the success of health service organizations.
    • Propose the application of Lean Six Sigma concepts as a tool for in strengthening the revenue cycle of provider organizations.
    • Your presentation should meet the following formatting requirements:
    • Be 10–12 slides in length.
    • Include narrated content to match the presentation.
    • Include a cover slide and references slide (or slides). (These slides are not part of the 10–12 slide requirement.)
    • Include 3–5 quality references, one of which should be your course textbook.
    • Use Basic Search: Strayer University Library to find and include 3–5 quality references, one of which should be your course text.
      This course requires the use of Strayer Writing Standards. For assistance and information, please refer to the Strayer Writing Standards link in the left-hand menu of your course. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
      The specific course learning outcome associated with this assignment is:
    • Analyze the healthcare administrator’s role in fiscal planning and management.

Develop a 10- to 12-slide PowerPoint presentation in which you present your research and data to support your clinical decision support (CDS) recommendation for quality improvement.

TO PREPARE

  • Review and download the Literature Review Matrix found in the Resources.
  • Research the Walden Library to review at least four peer-reviewed articles on evidence-based practice applied in clinical decision support (CDS). The Walden Library recommends the following:
    • Select the Nursing Research databases in the Walden Library.
    • Search “decision support” in Box 1, and add a diagnosis, condition, population, system, etc., in Box 2. It helps to keep concepts separate.
    • Limit the search results to Peer Reviewed Scholarly Journals only—in the left column of the results screen. Consider limiting results by publication date.
    • For more information about specific theories and models, search SAGE Knowledge for specialized encyclopedias.
      The textbook is an excellent source of examples.
  • For each article you find, fill in the columns of the Literature Review Matrix.
  • Review the resources.
  • Consider the models and theories used in your selected articles.
  • Reflect on which of the evidence-based practices you would recommend for quality improvement in your workplace.

THE ASSIGNMENT

Part 1: Literature Review Matrix

Submit your completed Literature Review Matrix that contains the four research articles you researched and reviewed.

Part 2: Clinical Decision Support (CDS) Recommendation

Develop a 10- to 12-slide PowerPoint presentation in which you present your research and data to support your clinical decision support (CDS) recommendation for quality improvement.

Based on your research, address the following in your presentation:

  • Synthesize your findings from your four articles, focusing on applicable models and/or theories relevant to CDS, quality improvement in your workplace, and on applicable evidence-based practice in nursing.
  • Recommend CDS or information to consider in clinical decision making and explain your rationale for the recommendation. Be specific.
  • Justify your recommendation. Be specific and provide examples.
  • Recommend how you would address possible limitations or challenges, including:
    • Explain how you would avoid alert fatigue.
    • Explain under what conditions you would allow an override to an alert.
    • Explain how you would monitor compliance.
    • Identify factors that might contribute to continuous overrides.
    • Justify conditions under which an override may be necessary.
  • Provide references in APA style at the end of your presentation—the reference slide or slides do not count toward your assignment total.

For the PowerPoint presentation in this Assignment, use the APA PowerPoint template provided in the Learning Resources and follow the guidelines in the Assignment for where to provide your references and other APA required items.

Analysis with correlation and regression item options

According to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), the probability of a magnitude 6.7 or greater earthquake in the Greater Bay Area is 63%, about 2 out of 3, in the next 30 years. In April 2008, scientists and engineers released a new earthquake forecast for the State of California called the Uniform California Earthquake Rupture Forecast (UCERF).

As a junior analyst at the USGS, you are tasked to determine whether there is sufficient evidence to support the claim of a linear correlation between the magnitudes and depths from the earthquakes. Your deliverables will be a PowerPoint presentation you will create summarizing your findings and an excel document to show your work.

Concepts Being Studied
  • Correlation and regression
  • Creating scatterplots
  • Constructing and interpreting a Hypothesis Test for Correlation using r as the test statistic

You are given a spreadsheet that contains the following information:

  • Magnitude measured on the Richter scale
  • Depth in km

The PowerPoint presentation should answer and explain the following questions based on the spreadsheet provided above.

  • Slide 1: Title slide
  • Slide 2: Introduce your scenario and data set including the variables provided.
  • Slide 3: Construct a scatterplot of the two variables provided in the spreadsheet. Include a description of what you see in the scatterplot.
  • Slide 4: Find the value of the linear correlation coefficient r and the critical value of r using α = 0.05. Include an explanation on how you found those values.
  • Slide 5: Determine whether there is sufficient evidence to support the claim of a linear correlation between the magnitudes and the depths from the earthquakes. Explain.
  • Slide 6: Find the regression equation. Let the predictor (x) variable be the magnitude. Identify the slope and the y-intercept within your regression equation.
  • Slide 7: Is the equation a good model? Explain. What would be the best predicted depth of an earthquake with a magnitude of 2.0? Include the correct units.
  • Slide 8: Conclude by recapping your ideas by summarizing the information presented in context of the scenario.

Along with your PowerPoint presentation, you should include your Excel document which shows all calculations.

Statistical analysis report item options

You are currently working at NCLEX Memorial Hospital in the Infectious Diseases Unit. Over the past few days, you have noticed an increase in patients admitted with a particular infectious disease. You believe that the ages of these patients play a critical role in the method used to treat the patients. You decide to speak to your manager, and together you work to use statistical analysis to look more closely at the ages of these patients.

You do some research and put together a spreadsheet of the data that contains the following information

  • Client number
  • Age of the patient

You are to put together a PowerPoint presentation that explains the analysis of your findings which you will submit to your manager. The presentation should contain all components of your findings. For review, the components of the report should include:

  1. Brief overview of the scenario and variables in the data set
  2. Discussion, calculation, and interpretation of the mean, median, mode, range, standard deviation, and variance
  3. Discussion, construction, and interpretation of the 95% confidence interval
  4. Explanation of the full hypothesis test
  5. Conclusion

The calculations should be performed in your spreadsheet that you will also submit to your manager. You can find additional information on what to add to your PowerPoint presentation in this Word document.

Use the questions in the Word document as your guide for the contents of your presentation.

For your final deliverable, submit your PowerPoint presentation and the Excel workbook showing your work. Do not submit your Word document.
