Discussion Requirements

Active participation in all discussions is required.

  • Post comments at least 3 times      during each module, at least 2 days apart.
  • Your comments will be graded on      how well they meet each of the criteria on the grading rubric.
  • The discussions are important! 23%      of your final grade is based on them.

Before writing your comments:

  • Review the Discussion grading      rubric to see what is expected for an excellent discussion, in order to      earn full credit.
  • Review some resources to help you      synthesize, such as the following:

Sullivan, J. (2011). Strategies for Synthesis Writing. Retrieved from http://www.findingdulcinea.com/features/edu/Strategies-for-Synthesis-Writing.html

Initial post for each module discussion:

  • At the beginning of each module,      address the discussion topic, making sure to meet all of the criteria on      the rubric.
  • A substantive comment should be      approximately 200 words or more.
  • Cite sources within your comment      to support your statements.
  • Include at least one reference,      properly formatted, not just a link.

  • Formulate one new comment of your      own. It must be a logical and thoughtful response that synthesizes the      comments of at least 3 classmates into one comment. Be sure to synthesize;      do not simply reply to each of the 3 classmates or restate their comments.
  • If the class is small, the      discussion will be with your professor.
  • NOTE: You are not required to cite      sources and include a reference list for the second post if it is simply      your opinion. However, if your opinion is based on facts (as it should      be), it is good practice to strengthen your position by citing sources.

THE FOUNDATION OF HEALTH CARE LAW AND ETHICS IN THE UNITED STATES- SLP

/in /by

 

It has been established that the Right to Health Care is not a guaranteed right in American law. Despite this, there have been many legal enactments that have incrementally moved in that direction without expressly granting it. After reviewing the background readings as well as doing your own research, draft a 1- to 2-page (single-spaced) position statement on whether the right to health care should be guaranteed in the United States. Be sure to include some discussion of ethics behind your position, including a discussion of ethical principles. You will not be graded on which side you choose, but you must support your position with reputable and reliable sources; this is not an opinion piece.

Please review the following document on how to draft a position paper; you are expected to follow the outline that is located within this document.

Conduct a Needs Assessment for Selected Business/Organization

The Critical Thinking assignments in this course build upon each other to help you complete the final Portfolio Project, an instructional design blueprint for a business or organization. In this step, you will complete a needs assessment for the business or organization you have selected and profiled.

Your needs assessment must include data collection measures and outcomes for the following four stages:

  • Stage 1: What are the business/organization needs?
    • Measure: (What measure is used?)
    • Outcome: (What is the forecasted ROI?)
  • Stage 2: What are the performance needs?
    • Measure: (What measure is used?)
    • Outcome: (What are the knowledge and skills needed for success in the business/organization? To what degree are they currently being met?)
  • Stage 3: What are the learning needs?
    • Measure: (What measure is used?)
    • Outcome: (What knowledge and skills need to be improved through instruction?)
  • Stage 4: What are the learner needs?
    • Measure: (What measure is used?)
    • Outcome: (For example: Who are the learners? How many are there? Is the group multi-generational? What is the cultural make-up? Are they traditional or nontraditional learners?)

Continue using the template that you began in Module 2 to organize your findings. Your final product should be well written and conform with the CSU Global Writing Center (Links to an external site.). Use at least two to three sources to support your observations and analysis. The CSU Global Library is a great place to find these sources. Submit your completed template for grading.

Deliverable 1 – Defining and Categorizing Various Forms of Risk

/in /by

 

LTD Acceptance is a private property and auto insurance carrier that specializes in sports cars and motorcycles. This organization is owned by LTD Capital, a large equity group with over 15 holdings. LTD Acceptance is the parent company’s single largest holding as it drives 70% of total revenue. Due to the inherent risk involved in that segment of the market, many of LTD Acceptance’s competitors do not offer policies for sports cars or motorcycles. This market segment is underserved which is why the organization has 20,000 active policies for a sports car or a motorcycle.

LTD is headquartered in Houston, TX. LTD does not sell insurance directly to the public. Instead, it uses third-party agents to sell its policies. LTD handles all customer service needs including claims intake, policy services, and general questions. The company operates in four states: California, Texas, Louisiana, and Florida. Currently, LTD does not have an active system in place to ensure that its agents are in fact using LTD guidelines to screen potential policyholders. However, no evidence of negligence has emerged so far as the organization has yet to have a year in which it was not profitable. LTD has also had the good fortune of not suffering losses because of natural disasters or catastrophic events.

In your first days of your new role as the senior risk analyst, you know your first task is to complete a framework for adequately identifying risk exposures. During this process, you realize that many of your counterparts lack the basic understanding of how to identify risks. Your supervisor has come to you and asked for a report outlining the importance of identifying risks to support risk management activities and positively impact the company’s bottom line. If your counterparts do not understand your report, you know that you will have minimal support in your efforts to manage the organization’s risks effectively.

For your report, you have been asked to analyze and address the following:

  • Why is identifying risk exposures significant? What are the ramifications for organizations that fail to properly identify risks they are exposed to?
  • What are the market risks LTD encounters?
  • What business risk does LTD encounter in its day-to-day operations?
  • What compliance and human capital risks might LTD face?
  • How do risk management activities correlate with overall productivity?

The format for your report should be in the business, professional style. For help with this format, please click here.

Assignment 03: System Solutions

  Liverty Hospital is ready to move forward with implementing a new EHR system. In Discussion 2.3, you and your team evaluated three different products:

.Waiting Room Solutions

.Practice Fusion EHR

.AllScripts MyWay EHR

Since your evaluation, you have learned that one of the main issues encountered at the hospital is the accessibility of patient information in its specialty clinics, as well as the technical skill level of the clinical staff. So you decide to evaluate one additional product: Waiting Room Solutions Specialty Packs. Look for specialties like allergy & immunology, audiology, bariatric surgery, etc. If you scroll down, you will find different videos within each specialty. 

Based on this new information, and the evaluation you have already completed, make a recommendation of which EHR Liverty should choose. Summarize your recommendation in a 2-page double-spaced paper in APA style. In your recommendation,

.briefly describe the features of this product that differentiate it from others you have evaluated.

.incorporate the product evaluation you did in the Week 2 VoiceThread.

.discuss specific system functions and how they will meet your organization’s needs and requirements.

Incorporate the product evaluation you did in the Week 2 VoiceThread. Discuss specific system functions and how they meet your organization’s needs and requirements.
