Describe the decision-making process for safety, risk management, and quality management in allied health care.

Health care delivery and the organizations that provide, manage, and reimburse for it are growing at an explosive rate. As part of this trend, the allied health job sector is the largest employment sector, with job growth projections in the 14% plus range for the period 2018-2028 (according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2018). Expansive growth is a response to current and predicted need for services, and while encouraging, sustained and rapid growth will inevitably affect safety, risk management, and quality provision on scales not yet seen by health care organizations. In an essay of 1,250-1,500 words, provide your assessment, with recommendations, for how the United States, as a country, can best manage quality assurance in the health care workplace going into the future. Questions to consider include: How best can the United States, as a country, manage this growth in the allied health sector? What role does the 2008 Medicare Improvement for Patients and Providers Act (MIPPA), accrediting body requirements for workplace safety, risk management, and quality care, play in this effort? Provide examples. Analyze the core safety, risk management factors, and quality management tools in the health care industry through accreditation that assist in the decision-making process for implementation in allied health care. Describe the decision-making process for safety, risk management, and quality management in allied health care. What steps might the United States take, from the global to the organizational level, to maintain high standards for providing outstanding care-based services? Describe the core safety, risk management, and quality management tools in the health care industry. What are two or more performance-based trends in patient safety, risk management, and quality management in health care organizations currently being followed to meet this goal? Access the AHRQ National Quality Measures Clearinghouse and the National Quality Forum from the topic Resources to aid in the completion of this assignment. Provide a minimum of three qualified resources from the readings, the GCU Library, or cited sources in order to complete this assignment successfully.

Does the explanatory gap argument refute reductive physicalism?

Please choose ONE of the following topics: Why is consciousness “what makes the mind-body problem really intractable”? Please explain and critically evaluate Nagel’s “what it’s like to be a bat” argument and discuss his claim that there are facts about the world that are not open to objective and scientific understanding. Is this true? (In light of these concerns, why does he think we should devise a new method, which he describes as “objective phenomenology”? Why not abandon physicalism altogether? Can “objective phenomenology” solve the mind-body problem?) Does Jackson’s knowledge argument refute reductive physicalism? Explain Jackson’s argument and then explain and critically evaluate the response of Lewis. One key premise of Jackson’s “knowledge argument” is that, upon being released from the black and white room and having the visual experience of seeing red for the first time, Mary acquires new information about such experiences. What is David Lewis’ central objection to this premise? Is this a strong objection? Does the explanatory gap argument refute reductive physicalism? Explain Levine’s explanatory gap argument and then explain and critically evaluate the response(s) of (i) McGinn and/or (ii) Churchland. (Is this gap merely apparent? Is it merely an epistemic gap that does not entail an ontological gap?)

What are the implications of this conception of the economy as an object rather than as a process?

How did it become “possible to imagine the economy as a self-contained sphere, distinct from the social, the cultural, and other spheres” (Mitchell, 1998, p. 91)? What are the implications of this conception of the economy as an object rather than as a process? ——————————————————————————— Responses should be no more than 500 words, not including references. Optional podcast: https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/otm/segments/what-does-it-mean-reopen-economy-on-the-media (use and cite some of the sources attached in files) (look at slides attached in files for definition of topics) Regarding your use of sources: use whatever sources you need to answer the question fully and effectively. Prioritize knowing assigned and optional readings from the course well over bringing in lots of new sources. Use new/outside sources as needed to strengthen arguments or incorporate examples: you should make the significance of outside sources clear in your response. Please incorporate references into your responses as follows: In the text: Anytime you are drawing on an idea from assigned or outside reading, put the author’s name and year of the publication in parentheses at the end of the sentence, e.g. “Treating land, labor, and money as commodities has destructive social consequences that trigger countermovements to protect society from the market (Polanyi, 1944). Anytime you are directly quoting a text, be sure to use quotation marks and put the author’s name and year of the publication in parentheses at the end of the sentence, e.g. Before market liberalism emerged in 19th century liberalism, “never were…markets more than accessories of economic life. As a rule, the economic system was absorbed in the social system” (Polanyi, 1944, p. 71). If it’s a digital source, just omit the page number. At the end of your response: Make a reference list. For academic sources, the easiest way is to go to Google Scholar, look up the source, click the “cite” button below it, and copy/paste the Harvard or APA formatted citation. For digital/non academic sources, adapt the APA or Harvard format. Don’t stress about the reference list too much; make a good faith effort to use either APA or Harvard format Rubric Grading criteria See criteria for excellent, good, acceptable, and below standard responses 3 pts Excellent Fully answers the question; Adheres to other guidelines (such as word limit); Draws on a range of relevant course materials (e.g. assigned readings, podcasts, or videos) and outside sources as appropriate, and; Demonstrates close, critical engagement with, and strong understanding of, course material 2 pts Good Fully answers or attempts to fully answer the question; Adheres to other guidelines (such as word limit); Draws on relevant course materials (e.g. assigned readings, podcasts, or videos), and; Demonstrates engagement with, and good understanding of, course material 1 pts Acceptable Attempts to fully answer the question, but may miss some key aspect; Mostly adheres to other guidelines (such as word limit) Draws on some relevant course materials (e.g. assigned readings, podcasts, or videos), and; Demonstrates engagement with course material but may exhibit some limited understanding or misunderstanding 0 pts Below standard No response submitted or response submitted late; Response fails to respond to the question or is generally poor quality, or does not adhere to basic guidelines (e.g. grossly over word limit)

Should discrimination based on sexual orientation be outlawed to the same extent as discrimination based on race and sex?

Complete the required discussion prompt: Heteronormative is the idea that binary gender identity and heterosexual orientation (meaning, there are only two sexual orientations and genders) are the norm. Gender identity is where you see yourself on the continuum of gender (if you identify with the sex you were born with at birth, you are considered cisgender). Meanwhile, sexual orientation is who you are attracted to, and can range from being straight/heterosexual to being gay or anything on the spectrum between. Certainly, there are a lot of labels. For many people, they’re a way of identifying themselves and discovering their identities; others, on the other hand, choose to avoid labels altogether. But no matter which camp you fall into, there are many reasons why heteronormativity is an idea that should be rejected. If you’re not heteronormative, you’re forced to explain yourself, while cisgender and heterosexual people don’t have to. When your identity does not cohere with heteronormativity, you are often asked to explain yourself — why you don’t have a boyfriend/girlfriend, how sex for you “works,” and other insensitive, inappropriate questions. Assuming that people only identify as either male or female is incorrect In our world, we commonly think of gender as just male and female, especially when we’re categorized by things like color and clothing. It seems like we can’t even look at anything without seeing it divided into boys and girls — this is heteronormativity. But the thing is, not everyone identifies as one or the other or expresses themselves that way. Even if someone “looks” like a guy (also evidence of heteronormativity), they may prefer to use the pronouns “she/her” — and we need to respect that by not misgendering people. Some people identify as genderfluid, which means that your identity (like male or female), can move from one side of the spectrum to the other, and some people are genderless or identify with neither of the genders that are imposed on people. The most important thing to remember is that everyone’s gender can be unique and everyone’s gender identity, gender orientation, and gender expression are important to respect. Further, “female” and “male” even as solely biological designations still exclude some people, who are often classified as “intersex.” Intersex means that one’s anatomy or genetics does not line up with typical expectations for either male or female people. Heteronormativity would have society believe that to be intersex is to not be normal — which is simply untrue. For intersex people, doctors and parents have often decided their gender at birth and genital reconstructive surgery is performed to turn what is seen as atypical genitalia into something that is recognizably either male or female. Intersex identity also has its own spectrum, which means that the anatomy of an intersex person can be entirely different from another intersex person. Assuming all people are straight is incorrect. Plain and simple, not everyone is straight. And not everyone is gay or straight. Less than 50% of the teen population currently identifies as straight, but even if the majority of people identified as straight, it’s wrong to assume someone falls into the majority. This is the erasure of all other identities that do not fall under heteronormativity. To make sure everyone feels respected and represented, never assume anything about someone’s identity unless they tell you themselves. Heteronormativity leads to serious consequences for those who aren’t heteronormative. The National Coalition for the Homeless reports that while 10% of the youth population in the U.S. are LGBTQ (and this is only the reported figure), 20% of homeless youth in the U.S. are LGBTQ. And the Trevor Project puts that figure at 40%. And it’s not just in homeless shelters and on the street where LGBTQ youth face harassment and safety issues. Even if families are supportive of LGBTQ identities, the statistics on school bullying against LGBTQ people are alarming. The Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network (GLSEN) in the year 2010 study showed that while appearance was the top reason for bullying, “the second most common reason was actual or assumed sexual orientation and gender identity.” Its figures indicated that 82% of LGBTQ youth had been bullied over their actual or assumed sexual orientation in the past year alone. Sixty-four percent of respondents felt unsafe at school because of their sexual orientation, while 44% felt unsafe at school because of their gender identity. Unfortunately, statistics on violence against LGBTQ people, especially those who are transgender, are equally as troubling. In the U.S. alone, transgender homicides hit an all-time high in consecutive years from 2015 to 2019 — none of which were prosecuted as hate crimes. Answer the prompts below (be sure to answer all parts of questions) What is the difference between heterosexism and homophobia? Can homosexuals change their sexual orientation if they want to or are people born with their orientation? And if so, can heterosexuals do the same? Why do researchers generally recommend using the term “sexual orientation” rather than “sexual preference”? Should discrimination based on sexual orientation be outlawed to the same extent as discrimination based on race and sex? If people believe in a literal interpretation of the Bible, is it still prejudiced for them to do the following: regard homosexual behavior as sinful? view homosexuality as an abomination before God? support the death penalty for homosexual behavior? Why or why not? Why do people call homosexuality unnatural, when it exists in all sexual species in nature? attached is the ted talk vidoe link

were the advantages of the U.S. Constitution enough to justify it’s protection of slavery (compromise)?

For this exam, I would like you to write a thoughtful essay that discusses some of the choices, compromises and contradictions that have shaped the course of American history up to this point in the semester. For example, the ideals of liberty and equality are contradicted by the existence of slavery and the exclusion of Native Americans, while the principle of self-governance was reserved to white men. What other contradictions and compromises, and the choices surrounding them, have shaped the course of American history up to this point in the course? Were the compromises, and the choices they required, enough to reconcile those contradictions? Why or why not? For example, were the advantages of the U.S. Constitution enough to justify it’s protection of slavery (compromise)? Was the creation of a stronger federal government at the expense of the states an acceptable tradeoff? These are just some ideas to get you started, but you also need to identify some of your own (there are many!). In essence, your essay needs to answer the central question above in a well-argued and well-supported essay. Remember, use evidence, and be specific! Tell me who was involved in the contradictions, compromises, and choices you have identified, when and where we see them, and how they shaped the course of American history, from the arrival of Europeans in 1492, through the ratification of the U.S. Constitution. The more historical detail you include, the better your essay will be. You may use the textbook and any of the documents we have looked at this semester, as well as the book, Never Caught, but nothing else. You must use at least ONE secondary source, and ONE primary source, or your essay will not receive a passing score. As this is the midterm, and you have seven days to complete it, you will need to give a significant amount of effort. I expect college-level work. Essays with careless typos, poor grammar, misspelled words, etc. will lose points! Your essay must be at least 500 words, and your response should be thorough and detailed, address all parts of the prompt, and make strong use of the source material we have studied this semester so far. For each source you use, you need to introduce and identify it (primary or secondary, the type of document, who wrote it, when it was written or produced, and what it is about), cite the source using MLA format, and then explain how that source supports your argument. Your essay should be double-spaced, in Times New Roman, 12pt font
