What actions were undertaken to deal with the crisis?

Explore  two (2) journal articles regarding a contemporary crisis. Relevant  articles would be dated after 2010 (to present). Consider the following  situation–and then respond to the questions.

Understanding  how the success or failure of an emergency response depends on the size  of the gap between the behavior of disaster victims and the  bureaucratic procedures of a public official, pick an emergency from  your experience and answer the following three questions:

1. What were the challenges faced?

2. What actions were undertaken to deal with the crisis?

3. Were the choices made successful? Why (or why not)?

Key points to remember:

Big data is understanding and using combinations of large data sets, both clinical and non-clinical, which

are generated by healthcare industry organizations in the course of doing business. The definition of big

data is the same in the non-healthcare industry, such as retail, communications, media, socio-

demographic and education, etc. We are coming to know this phenomenon as big data.

Key external influencers of the healthcare delivery environment include the following:

 

• Economic factors: General economy, consumer sentiments and demand elasticity, economic

development

• Social values: Diversity, social cohesion, established precedents for actions, religious preferences

• Global influences: Immigration, vacation travel, medical tourism, epidemics, terrorism, demands

for equity in medication distribution

• Population characteristics: Population demographics, socio-economics, morbidity related to

ethnic and gender groups, social morbidity

• Political climate: Elected officials, interest groups

• Technology development: Engineering sciences, information science, decision management,

mathematics

• Physical environment: Pollution, sanitation

• Demand elasticity: Market liquidity

 

 

There are three areas where a misalignment between hospital components and healthcare users may

occur:

• Lack of coordination

• Healthcare users on their own

• Service coordination

In the case of supply-sensitive care, according to Wennberg et al. “Decisions surrounding medical

necessity are strongly influenced by capacity, rather than medical evidence or severity of illness.”

create a 15-20 slide digital presentation for early childhood educators, parents, and guardians on the topics of developmental milestones

Assessment Description

The development progress of a young child is important for a teacher to understand. The rate at which a child meets milestones is indicative of their health and future success in foundational learning. If the child is not meeting milestones, the teacher must be aware, and communicate concerns to parents. Identifying a child’s developmental growth is also important for the teacher so that they can provide developmentally appropriate instruction.

For this assignment, create a 15-20 slide digital presentation for early childhood educators, parents, and guardians on the topics of developmental milestones within each developmental domain (physical, cognitive, social-emotional, language) and developmentally appropriate assessment and instruction.

Include the following in your presentation:

  1. Description of the typical developmental milestones from birth to age 3 in each of the following developmental domains: physical, cognitive, social-emotional, and language, and their influences on early development and learning.
  2. One example of instructional activities for children from birth to age 3 in each of the developmental domains mentioned above that meets each child’s developmental learning needs in that domain.
  3. At least 2-3 examples of delayed and advanced development and the developmental domain that each example falls under
  4. A minimum of two ways that a birth to age 3 teacher can use data to monitor progress in meeting the milestones and measure student learning
  5. Ways that a birth to age 3 teacher can partner with other stakeholders (parents, service providers, outside professionals, and colleagues) to assess developmental milestones and provide feedback.
  6. A minimum of two ways that a birth to age 3 teacher can partner with other stakeholders to build effective learning environments and experiences to engage students in the learning process
  7. Title slide, reference slide, and presenter’s notes.

Support your presentation with at least two scholarly resources.

What do you see as similarities and differences between the research process, the Evidence-Based Practice process, and nursing process?

What do you see as similarities and differences between the research process, the Evidence-Based Practice process, and nursing process? Include rationale to support your response.

What way does probability relate to your own career or industry, or an industry that you are familiar with? 

Probability1

What way does probability relate to your own career or industry, or an industry that you are familiar with?

Probability is used in real estate all of the time. One common example is determining the probability (the chance) that a property will sell; which is correlated to days on the market and price. Most often if a seller increases their price, then the amount of time the house will remain on the market is projected to increase and the probability that the home will sell most certainly can decline. Therefore, understanding how to price a house is critical. Also, the housing market is constantly changed due to other factors such as demand, inventory, interest rates, stock market, economic conditions, and even weather. Projections can be made based on Events that occur, interest rate increases for example, which change the probabilities for the housing market. It is a very obvious trend that with the increase of interest rate, along with inflation as we see today, that the probability of the housing market remaining at high demand will taper off.

How does thinking about probability impact personal decision-making in your own life or household or lives of your family, friends, etc.?

In my personal life I use probability every day. I begin each day with a high probability that I will go to the gym first thing in the morning because on average I go five to six days per week; while checking the weather forecast will determine the probability of wearing a jacket. Every important decision that I make needs to be weighed, analyzed and possible outcomes projected. Usually, I fall back on previous experiences to help calculate the probability of a desired outcome (or undesired) based on the decision that I want to make. If for example there is late night event that I am invited to, but I am married with children and have responsibilities the next day, I can refer to similar events from the past to infer and project what would happen. Based on that information, I would know the probability that I will not be able to uphold my responsibilities the next day is very likely.
