Is this problem structured, semi-structured, or unstructured?

Discussion 1

The Modeling Process [WLOs: 1, 2, 4, 5] [CLOs: 1, 2]

Prior to beginning work on this discussion forum, read Chapter 1: Introduction to Business Analytics.

People live in a data-driven world. In personal lives, people are surrounded by websites offering weather or airfare predictions, and in professional lives, people deal with revenue projections and metrics analysis. Data analysis is mostly driven by the desire to solve a problem or problems.

In your initial post,

· Share a real-life problem when you have applied (or would like to apply) the  Seven-Step Modeling Process   Download Seven-Step Modeling Process.

· Is this problem structured, semi-structured, or unstructured?

· Explain your decision-making process.

Guided Response: Review several of your classmates’ posts, and provide answers, constructive analysis, or suggestions for at least two of your classmate’s questions by Day 7. Do you agree with your classmates’ decision-making process? Explain why or why not. If your decision-making process would have been different, describe what you would have done differently to solve the problem.

In your responses, make sure that you are not only discussing your experience or views on the subject, but you are also making strong and precise connections to the current course content. Post at least one question, a solution or interpretation of the material, or an example from a real-life application relevant to the discussion.

What types of shift to outpatient are you seeing and how do you think they will impact the financial stability of the organization?

I work for a large multistate health care system and most of our growth at the moment is about care beyond the acute care setting. We have built several “all in one” centers that offer medical clinics, diagnostics, and primary care. We are also building free standing ED’s in key market areas to help capture patient that might otherwise go to our competitors. We have also invested in specialty centers for things like orthopedics and rehabilitation. All of these areas bring new money to the organization and provide actions to support our strategic plan to meet the “continuum of care.” I think historically we only thought about the acute care setting. Another point that supports this growth can be supported in another area of my work: Magnet. Magnet is a nursing designation that only 7% of the hospitals have earned. You might compare it to Baldrige in the business world, as it represents a comprehensive quality assessment. In the Magnet regulations, there are several sections that are individually focused on outpatient and ambulatory care. Historically these were a small part of the acute care focus. It is challenging as many of these service areas don’t have the metrics/benchmarks that are established and yet we know it is a very competitive market. We understand the importance and will be working to ensure our structure and processes extend into these new outreach markets. What types of shift to outpatient are you seeing and how do you think they will impact the financial stability of the organization?

How does Nickle and Dimed challenge assumptions about American prosperity and poverty? 

Response to Ehrenreich 

Select and answer TWO questions (see below). While composing your answers, refer to specific examples/pages from the reading but respond with your own words (do not copy and paste large excerpts from the article!). Articulate your answer(s) with at least one additional author that we have so far discussed in class. Each response should be approximately 250 words in length (2 short paragraphs).

Questions:

1. How does Nickle and Dimed challenge assumptions about American prosperity and poverty?

2. Ehrenreich’s “experiment” took place in 1998-2000; do you think her experience would be different today? Why?

3. Ehrenreich is a white, middle class, and native English speaker woman. Do you think her experience would have been drastically different had she been a person of color, a single parent, or an undocumented immigrant. How?

4. After reading this article, do you agree that having a job is better than having no job at all? Why?

5. Ehrenreich complains about “management.” Summarize the many problems that she had with managers and how this relates to being among America’s lowest paid.

6. In addition to not being paid enough, what other challenges do low-paid workers face? How do they affect their living situations (e.g. health, nutrition, ability to keep other jobs, etc.)?

construct a concise summary in which you explain to a community of stakeholders the difference between each topic listed above.

TOPIC: Discussing Evaluation

PART -1

Process monitoring, process evaluation, quality improvement, formative evaluation, and outcome/effect evaluation are often difficult topics to understand. Moreover, each approach/strategy is only useful when it is applied correctly.

For this ASSIGMENT, construct a concise summary in which you explain to a community of stakeholders the difference between each topic listed above. (That is, what is the unique aspect of each topic/approach/strategy?) Then, associate the topics by expounding upon their similarities. Try to draw similarities between at least three of the topics.

PLEASE SPEPARATE PART-1 AND PART-2

 

1. Include THREE academic references above 2017

2. NO CONSIDERATION FOR PLAGIARISM

3. APA FORMAT AND INDEX CITATION

4. PLEASE WRITE FROM PUBLIC HEALTH PERSPECTIVE

Explain the concept of a knowledge worker. 

This week your assignment requires you to create a PowerPoint with an infographic. I have included the assignment details below. Here are some common mistakes to avoid and tips for creating a successful PowerPoint.

1) Make sure to have an introductory slide and a reference slide. You must have 5 credible references to be considered for full points. No older than 5 years.

2) Explain your infographic. You are to create an infographic. Do not just put pictures on a slide. This does not mean anything to the reader. If you are unfamiliar with what an inforgraphic looks like here is a website that has a lot of infographics related to COVID.

https://www.fda.gov/emergency-preparedness-and-response/coronavirus-disease-2019-covid-19/fda-covid-19-response-infographic/

3) Make sure to include the scenario from last week in your presentation. Make sure to answer all parts of this question. Often, students omit parts of the question.

5) Proofread your work for spelling and grammar issues.

6) Use detailed speaker notes to explain and add needed details to your PPT.

7) Use your SafeAssign report to catch issues related to plagiarism.

The assignment:

  • Explain the concept of a knowledge worker.
  • Define and explain nursing informatics and highlight the role of a nurse leader as a knowledge worker.
  • Include one slide that visually represents the role of a nurse leader as knowledge worker.
  • Your PowerPoint should Include the hypothetical scenario you originally shared in the Discussion Forum. Include your examination of the data that you could use, how the data might be accessed/collected, and what knowledge might be derived from that data. Be sure to incorporate feedback received from your colleagues’ responses.

THE DISCUSSION WE USED WAS HEALTH INFORMATICS!!! just a reminder to use it for the hypothetical scenario.

· Follow the format of the Community Health Promotion Project Work Plan Template, linked in the Resources for this assignment.

The numbered assignment instructions outlined below correspond to the grading criteria in the assignment scoring guide, so be sure to address each point. You may also want to review the performance-level descriptions for each criterion to see how your work will be assessed.
