Research a policy associated with the Affordable Care Act in your home state

To maintain political, governmental, staff, and patient loyalty, the healthcare organization must provide a sense of organizational stability and view of the legislative landscape. In Chapters 14 and 15 we have researched and investigated the need to align both public opinion with staff trust. The political landscape is the basis for healthcare policy, guidance, state, local, and community support (both fiscal and legal) engaging in political trade-offs to stabilize the healthcare industry (such as in the cost, pharmaceuticals, insurance premiums, and organizational ROI in the healthcare industry). Healthcare organizations must provide the necessary guidance and advocacy for stakeholders in the setting of both state and federal legislature as a voice of reason, authority, and integrity. Provide information on the following:

• -Research a policy associated with the Affordable Care Act in your home state or      another state that may affect healthcare reform and/or the way health care is provided in the chosen state.
• -Describe the policy and who wrote and/or promoted the policy legislature (provide      statistical data).
• -What are the trade-offs offered to bring balance to the healthcare stakeholders?
• -What role have public perception and disinterestedness played in the valuation of      healthcare performance?
• -Describe how process innovation, risk taking, health policy analysis, and      governance “sense-making” provide balance for stakeholders.

Your paper

• Must be 3-5 double-spaced pages in length (not including title and reference page)
• Must use at least 2 scholarly sources

using the critical path as a source of credibility and validation.

Instructions

Write a 7 page APA formatted deliverable where you substantively support your choices using the critical path as a source of credibility and validation. Include 5-7 peer-reviewed references. This will require you to use MS Word and/or EXCEL to support calculations and use flowcharts, tables, and graphs.

It is recommended that you review the Critical Path thoroughly in the textbook (  Schroeder, R., Goldsetien, S. & Rungtusanatham, J. (2010). Operations Management: Operations Management in the Supply Chain: Decisions and Case, 6th edition. ISBN:978-0073525242 ). Then build your Critical Path. Include your techniques and charts.

Address Following Questions:

• Which of the articles gave what you believe to be the most value in relationship to critical path?
• Explain why.
• Based on what you have read in the chapters and in the articles do you see a relevant critical path for your project forming, if so explain what it might look like and roughly how many tasks will your project include?
• Will all of your critical tasks be deemed critical and will they potentially have dependencies?

Focus on structure, processes, efficiency, effectiveness, quality, control, and metrics. 

Write a short biography of the person from childhood to his or her death.

APA FORMAT

A psychobiography is the answer to the question, “Why is this person like he/she is?” Psychobiography uses explanation and interpretation of the events, relationships, attitudes, beliefs, and experiences of a person’s life to explain the person they are today (or the person they were before they died). In other words, psychobiography looks at the person’s whole life in an effort to understand their personality.

Psychobiography is not only biography—biographical information is included, but as part of the whole. In biography the aim is to tell the story of a life; in psychobiography the aim is to make sense of or understand a life.

Another important point—psychobiography is NOT about diagnosing a person. While you may report a diagnosis they were given by a qualified physician, you are not to make diagnosis of mental problems the point of your paper.

Section 1

• Write a short biography of the person from childhood to his or her death. This should include the high and low points of the person’s experiences. This section should clearly set the stage for the theory that you choose in Section 2. This section should be no more than two pages.

Section 2

• Choose one of the personality theorists from your text book and using specific concepts and ideas from his/her theory, trace the personality development of the person you have chosen.

o Being specific about the concept or concepts you are using is important….For example, if you are using Freud as your theorist, you might trace the resolution of the Odedipus Complex for the person you have chosen.

**Please be very clear when you are moving from section 2 to section 3 in your paper–use section labels.  If it is not clear that you have moved to section 3, I can’t give you credit for it.**

Section 3

• Choose one of the following psychological concepts and trace the development of this concept from the person’s childhood to adulthood. In other words, you should take the concept and trace it from it’s roots in childhood to its culmination in adulthood. You should use specific examples from the person’s life AND different theorists to explain how this concept has developed in the person. Remember that you are tracking these as an aspect of the person, not as an aspect of an environment.

• Please note that you will be unable to trace the development of this concept if you cannot or do not find out information about the person’s childhood. If you can’t establish a basis for the concept in the person’s childhood, then perhaps you should choose a different concept or a different person to write about.

By gaining an understanding of the basic protocol analyzer (Wireshark)

By gaining an understanding of the basic protocol analyzer (Wireshark), students will be able to set up and read basic digital traffic, to include:

• Gaining a foundational understanding of logging.
• Identifying source and destination IPs.
• Translating IP addresses into websites.
• Identifying ports and protocols.
• Creating a timeline of events.

In this lab, you will understand basic Wireshark usage and Linux commands. Complete the following:

• View the “Basic Wireshark Lab” video, located in the Class Resources.
• Provide screenshots of Wireshark with SRC port and DST port on the UI, your ping sweep, your services scan against your Windows 7 system, the index webpage of your Kali Box, the pictures directory of the Kali webserver, and the Wireshark following the HTTP stream.

Part 2:

Write a 250- to 500-word lab report and include a title page, table of contents, overview, and summary. Include the following in the summary:

• Your Kali IP address.
• The Windows IP Address.
• The command used to change directory.
• The command that moves a file.
• The command that creates a new directory.
• The version of Apache that is running according to Wireshark.

• A list of 10 well-known ports and associated protocols.
• A brief explanation of the difference between a port and a protocol. 
• An explanation for when using Wireshark would be beneficial. Provide two other uses besides the one mentioned in the video.
