Assignment: The Impact of Nursing Informatics on Patient Outcomes and Patient Care Efficiencies

In the Discussion for this module, you considered the interaction of nurse informaticists with other specialists to ensure successful care. How is that success determined?

Patient outcomes and the fulfillment of care goals is one of the major ways that healthcare success is measured. Measuring patient outcomes results in the generation of data that can be used to improve results. Nursing informatics can have a significant part in this process and can help to improve outcomes by improving processes, identifying at-risk patients, and enhancing efficiency.

To Prepare:

  • Review the concepts of technology application as presented in the Resources.
  • Reflect on how emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence may help fortify nursing informatics as a specialty by leading to increased impact on patient outcomes or patient care efficiencies.

The Assignment: (4-5 pages not including the title and reference page)

In a 4- to 5-page project proposal written to the leadership of your healthcare organization, propose a nursing informatics project for your organization that you advocate to improve patient outcomes or patient-care efficiency. Your project proposal should include the following:

  • Describe the project you propose.
  • Identify the stakeholders impacted by this project.
  • Explain the patient outcome(s) or patient-care efficiencies this project is aimed at improving and explain how this improvement would occur. Be specific and provide examples.
  • Identify the technologies required to implement this project and explain why.
  • Identify the project team (by roles) and explain how you would incorporate the nurse informaticist in the project team.
  • Use APA format and include a title page and reference page.
  • Use the Safe Assign Drafts to check your match percentage before submitting your work.

Integrated Marketing Communications Plan

/in /by

 Company: Hello Fresh

Document:  MS PowerPoint presentation  

Development of an IMC plan is the major graded component in this course. It will give you hands-on experience with the intricacies of marketing communications that achieve marketing & communications objectives.  It is also a skill that you can list on your resume.  An IMC plan is the next step after the developments and approval of the marketing plan for the organization. It provides the tactical level of detail to the marketing communications portion of the marketing plan.

The IMC plan you prepare in this course will be staged in three parts, allowing you to make modifications to submitted parts. This will ensure your final IMC plan, incorporating all three parts, assesses your understanding and application of best practices in marketing communications. Building an IMC plan takes planning, research, strategic thinking, and hard work. Do NOT make the mistake of working on sections of the IMC plan just before they are due. That lack of planning and commitment to the course will be reflected in your grade. Be sure to reference the Marketing Toolkit for Tips on  PowerPoint presentations. 

ings, which you should reference to ensure your Power Point presentation demonstrates you can apply marketing and communications concepts in your IMC plan. 

The strategic and promotion mix choices must be supported with rationale from the readings or outside sources. Each slide should contain enough details to understand how you arrived at your conclusions. These details can come from external sources; or when information is not forthcoming, from your ‘best’guesses. When you use references, they must be formatted per APA on the slide itself. Use a References slide

Guidelines

/in /by

After establishing probable cause, your company, AB Investigative Services (ABIS), has been contacted by a prominent state law enforcement agency. Investigators do not understand the specifics of processing digital evidence or analyzing digital evidence. As an ABIS investigator, you will need go to the scene and provide guidance concerning the identification of digital evidence that will establish motive related to the particular offense.  The state forensic agents will follow the procedure guidelines provided by you to establish the motive of its case as it relates to a high-tech crime.

For full credit, your Discussion Board posting must include the following information:

  • What do you consider to be the 3 most important computer-related forensics procedures necessary in processing evidence at the scene of a crime? Provide your reasoning of why these are the most important procedures. 
  • What do you consider to be the most important aspect of how a financial investigator must secure digital evidence to help in the prosecution of offenders, and why this process is important?   
  • How would omitting one of these forensic procedures negatively affect either the investigation or prosecution process? 
  • What is a possible oversight that could occur during the collection and identification of digital evidence process, and what is one way to overcome such an oversight?

MLa correction

/in /by

  The OPTIONAL rewrite should be the best work you can present, reflecting everything you have learned in English 1201 this semester.   The rewrite should consist of the following parts:   

  1. A one-page self-edit for the rewrite, in which you comment on your own paper now that you have had a chance to read it over and think about it in the context of all the papers we’ve gone over. Consider the thesis, the types of evidence used, the organization, and the conclusion. Which parts needed more work and how did you go about revising them? Be as specific as possible. A self-edit is required or the rewrite will not be graded.
  2. If you are writing a paper you did not turn in the first time around, the self-edit should explain why the paper was not handed in on time and what you did in order to catch up and review the lessons missed the first time around.

 3. Upload a rewritten version of the same paper. Although it shouldn’t be on a new topic, it should look completely different from the first version, and you should correct or revise even the things that were not marked on the original. Eliminate “you” or weak examples, tighten thesis statements, and make sure the conclusions are focused and leave the reader with something to think about. The grammar should be as close to perfect as you can make it. Consult your handbooks often. Make sure the MLA format is used perfectly.  If there are excessive errors on the first page, or if the paper is not in proper MLA format (for example, if it has spaces between the paragraphs or no name/page # on the top right on the page), the rewrite will not be graded.  4. It is up to you if you want to rewrite anything; in general it is not worth spending more time on a B or above, although you may do so if you wish. The papers will be read, compared to the original (if there is one), and evaluated along with the self-edits described in #2.   The new grades will be re-averaged and an overall score assigned to the entire set of papers you have written this semester. Make sure you are handing in top-quality work. I will also provide one-on-one help as needed.  

Please no plagiarism!!!!

About engineering ethics

/in /by

Reading this:

“Anony Moose Data Corporation (AMDC) recently hired Gator Engineer (GE) as a software engineer. AMDC’s projects include important governmental initiatives. GE’s first assignment from the supervisor was to write software that provides security for documents emailed within the company.

After completing the project, GE reads about another company that made similar software available to overseas clients. That company was now under investigation by the U.S. Government because of U.S. laws precluding transfer of such software overseas, due to national security concerns. GE then discovers that the IT department previously sent the AMDC software abroad to their corporate offices.

GE informs the supervisor who responds, without the benefit of consulting legal counsel, that there is no problem since AMDC is U.S.-based and not a threat to national security and the company will be using software solely for internal corporate purposes and not for profit. GE agrees but later learns that one of the company’s overseas offices has been permitting contractors to use the software to exchange secured email documents.

So what does GE do?”

Answer:

  1. Identify GE’s main ethical dilemma in the context of the applicable Fundamental Canons in the NSPE Code of Ethics.
  2. Identify and briefly discuss all the viable options, or sub-options as applicable, that you see available to GE to address the issue.

Background

Just as in needs assessments, interviews and focus groups are common tools for obtaining information about the processes involved in the implementation of programs. Process evaluation should include specifics about purpose, questions which the evaluation will address, and methods that social workers will use to conduct evaluations.

Review the many examples of process evaluation results described in Chapter 8 of Dudley, J. R. (2014). Social work evaluation: Enhancing what we do. (2nd ed.) Chicago, IL: Lyceum Books, or in the optional resources. Select an example of a process evaluation that produced valuable information. Compare the description of those results with the Social Work Research Qualitative Groups case study located in this week’s resources.

Discussion Question (Use imagination) 

Post a description of the process evaluation that you chose and explain why you selected this example. 

Describe the stage of program implementation in which the evaluation occurred, the informants, the questions asked, and the results. 

Based upon your comparison of the case study and the program evaluation report that you chose, improve upon the information presented in the case study by identifying gaps in information. 

Fill in these gaps as if you were the facilitator of the focus group. Clearly identify the purpose of the process evaluation and the questions asked.

HISCO Summary Annual Report

[WLOs: 2, 3] [CLOs: 1, 3, 4]

Prior to gaining access to the Summary Annual Report through the Growing Your Business simulation, all previously assigned simulation work must be completed. After all previously assigned simulation work has been completed, the Summary Annual Report Template will be accessible through the Annual Report tab.

The summary annual report is a scaled down version of a full annual report. You will simply not have enough detail to complete the typical nine sections. For example, you are not responsible for the Auditor’s Report. Naturally, you are encouraged to review real world annual reports which can be used as a strawman in preparation. Your recently completed Annual Operating Review in Week 5 should be aligned with your Annual Report.

Preparing your HISCO summary annual report will be one of the most comprehensive assignments you will have completed during your MBA. You will gain an appreciation for the complexity and responsibility the senior executives continually face. Hopefully, you have experienced the holistic and competitive environment from the simulation. Your recently completed Annual Operating Review will provide the basics.

The information, qualitative and quantitative, in an annual report should provide current and prospective investors (as well as any stakeholder) a complete insight into the company’s historic performance and its plans for growth and improvement over the next few years as defined by its strategy. Publicly traded companies are required by law to prepare and submit to many constituencies a variety of filings.  The most well-known is the Annual Report to Shareholders and related Form 10-K. An annual report is technically an unofficial document. The Form 10-K will typically provide the most comprehensive summary of the company’s history, financials, risks and opportunities, and current operations. The Form 10-K is submitted annually to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).  Technically, HISCO is a private company (you may have sold equity to the venture capitalist) and only if it had publicly trades debt would be required to file a Form 10K.

As a future leader of a public or private company, you will learn the integrative nature of any business while you complete the HISCO summary annual report.  This document can become an important part of your e-portfolio in the program.  Your owner, Stanley Sloane, looks forward to reading your HISCO summary annual report.  While details may vary state by state, even if your career leads to growing a small private business, you will need to file an annual report with The Secretary of State in your jurisdiction, another benefit to learning from our final activity.

The following identifies specifics instructions for preparation of each required section.  The required sections to be completed will be found the word document from the model. Please remember to periodically save your work.  An online search will reveal innumerable sites devoted to annual reports.

The HISCO Summary Annual Report

  • Must be completed using the template provided through the Growing Your Business simulation.
  • For technical help with the simulation, please email [email protected] 
  • Follow the Summary Annual Report Template as a guide to formatting your work. Standard APA formatting will not apply to this assignment.
  • Must include the following:
    • Cover Page
      • You can design your own cover page. Should be reflective of your corporate image and may include a picture and/or logo. At a minimum, it will include the name, [simulation year] HISCO Summary Annual Report, as well as your name and date. The cover page can only be 1 page.
    • CEO Letter
      • The CEO Letter is designed to share the Strategy, Financial Highlight Summary, and Business Overview of the past year. Evaluate quantitative and qualitative techniques for business analysis and decision-making. It will typically also include the future growth outlook for the business (detailed in the Sales, Marketing and Industry pages below). The CEO Letter can be a maximum of 3 pages.  
    • The “Stan Sloane Letter”
      • HISCO’s owner, Stan Sloane, is very happy that he decided to hire you to help turn the company around. He is interested in having you stay on with the company. However, he will need assurance from you that you are committed to continuing to grow HISCO. Explain to Stan how you plan on running the company over the next two years. You should discuss the majority of the items you developed when you first came on with the company, including: whether you would make any changes to the SWOT analysis, whether you would change the company strategy, negotiations you would make with company stakeholders, future technology suggestions, growth expectations in general for the industry and specifically for HISCO over the next two years, any concerns that occurred in the past year that you would address, and any other information you believe would be relevant in order to reassure Stan that he has placed the company in the right hands. You will add this letter at the end of the standard Annual Report. This letter is not part of a traditional Annual Report. The “Stan Sloane Letter” can be 3-4 pages.
    • Sales, Marketing, & Industry
      • This section should detail all aspects of HISCO’s Value Chain, from supplier to manufacturing to the customer. Products, NPIs, Pricing, in an industry perspective of competition should be elaborated on. Utilize tools from marketing to manage the profitability of overall business operations. A review of your SWOT would probably help as well as your recently completed Annual Operating Review. An essential element is for current and prospective investors to understand how HISCO makes money and will be able to create growth and deal with risks. The Sales, Marketing & Industry section can be a maximum of 5 pages.
    • Financial Statements
      • Financial statements are the heart and soul of the annual report. This is a quantitative section that provides current and prospective investors a look into HISCOs financial performance. The financial statements consist of the Income Statement, Balance Sheet, and Cash Flow. We suggest you show a minimum of 4 Qtrs. for each of the past two years for the Income Statement, Balance Sheet, and Cash Flow. Utilize tools from finance management to manage the profitability of overall business operations. Consider expanding the lines within each statement in the model. You will need to provide details on the Credit Line. The Financial Statements section can be a maximum of 6 pages.
    • Management Discussion and Analysis (MD&A)
      • The Management Discussion and Analysis section provides the real detail on year to year performance. In your case, this will be simulation year vs. prior simulation year. Topics will be both qualitative and quantitative in all aspects of simulation year relative to prior simulation year. MD&A will certainly include a complete variance analysis of performance and the successes and failures of your decisions for the year.  It is the time you will delve into the details of your operating decisions. The MD&A section is typically devoted to the past (your future was described in prior sections). Reference to the Financial Statements is crucial as well as your recently completed Annual Operating Review. Graphics from your Business Intelligence Dashboard and your Variance walks on Income and Cash can provide visual insight into your performance. The Management Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) can be a maximum of 6 pages.
    • Notes, Appendices, and References
      • Any supporting documents, comments, information, a glossary of terminology, and/or clarifications you deem relevant to your annual report to assist current and prospective investors. The Notes, Appendices, and References are required and can be a minimum of 1 page and a maximum of 2 pages.  References can be in a bulleted or numbered format.
