Question description

This assignment consists of three (3) sections: a written project plan, a revised Gantt chart or project plan, and a project plan PowerPoint presentation. You must submit the three (3) sections as separate files for the completion of this assignment. Label each file name according to the section of the assignment for which it is written. Additionally, you may create and / or assume all necessary assumptions needed for the completion of this assignment.

While taking all business and project parameters into consideration, make quality assumptions to support the following requirements.

 

Section 1: Written Project Plan

You are now in the final stage of the project plan development. All previous documentation will be combined into one (1) document that will serve as the statement of work for the project. Your goal is to have the project approved by the executive team and the venture capital group. The project plan is very detailed which is appropriate to accomplish the monumental task of implementation. However, the executive team is only interested in a ten (10) minute summation. Therefore, you also must create a compelling executive summary that is supported by your detail that convinces the executive group that your solution is optimal.

1. Write an eight to ten (8-10) page executive summary in which you provide a high-level technical overview of your project where you address the following:

    1. Describe the scope of the project and control measures.
    2. Describe the goals and objectives of the project.
    3. Give a detailed, realistically estimated cost analysis of the entire project.
    4. Relate the value of the project plan solution to the competitive advantage that information technology will afford your organization.
    5. Provide all aspects of the information technology implementation into the project plan.
    6. Use at least five (5) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources.

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

  • Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
  • Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.
  • Include charts or diagrams created in MS Visio and MS Project as appendix of the Word document. Make reference of these files in the body of the Word document.

 

Section 2: Revised Gantt Chart / Project Plan

Use Microsoft Project or an open source alternative, such as Open Project, to:

2. Update the Gantt chart or project plan (summary and detail) template, from Project Deliverable 4: Infrastructure and Security, with all the project tasks.

 

Section 3: Project Plan PowerPoint Presentation

Additional to your detailed executive summary you must present your findings to the executive team and the venture capital group that, along with the executive summary, will convince the group that your solution is optimal.

3. Create a ten to fifteen (10-15) slide PowerPoint presentation in which you:

a. Illustrate the concepts from your written report in Section 1 of this assignment.

b. Create bulleted speaking notes for your presentation to the executive board in the Notes section of the PowerPoint. Note: You may create or assume any fictitious names, data, or scenarios that have not been established in this assignment for a realistic flow of communication.

c. Use a professional technically written style to graphically convey the information.

Use the below documents to write the paper, do the Gantt Chart, and the Powerpoint Presentation.

Question description

QUESTION: Dissemination of EBP and research, such as presenting results at a conference or writing an article for a journal, is an important part of professional practice. Identify one professional journal and one nursing or health care conference where you might present your project. Discuss why each of your choices is the best option for you to disseminate your new knowledge.

RESPONSE 1: My project focused on correctional nursing and inmate health because that is the field I work in. Correctional nurses are often the first health care professional to see an inmate about a medical condition. Correctional nurses must often work closely with corrections officers in situations such as emergencies in the housing units or monitoring inmates for medical attention. These nurses are challenged to provide maximum health care in a setting with a mission and design for security and public safety. Often resources can be limited and creativity is needed. Like I mentioned in my project every new piece of equipment or idea for something new must be approved by corrections. Submission of my research regarding inmate non-compliance with chronic health conditions would benefit the correctional health field. I would most likely attempt to present my project to The Journal of Correctional Health Care. This journal focused on correctional nursing. It features original research, case studies, best practices, literature reviews and more to keep correctional health care professionals informed of important trends and developments. Topics addressed include clinical care, health services and support, personnel and staffing, ethical issues, medical records, quality improvement, risk management and medical-legal issues (Journal of Correctional Health Care, n.d.). I could also present my project at the National Conference on Correctional Health. The conference addresses major health care issues that commonly affect incarcerated individuals, including diabetes, hepatitis, HIV, hypertension, mental illness, oral health and substance abuse. It also addresses new practices for the treatment of major health care issues in order to better manage common medical, nursing, dental and mental health problems found in correctional settings. It is difficult for people to understand issues that we face in correctional nursing unless you have worked in this field before. The population is very diverse and these people often undereducated and are from low-income communities. Finding ways to take care of these individuals in order for them to be successful members of society is always the goal.

RESPONSE 2:

Last week we wrote about public speaking and sharing our information with others. As you may recall, my subject is on adopting an opiate abuse risk assessment tool into practice for nurses. I cannot think of a better place to share the information that at Pain Week. Pain Week is a national conference, now in its 12thyear. This year it will be held in Las Vegas in September but has been held at other places as well. Pain Weekendwas held in Scottsdale, Arizona this past March. Continuing education credits are available, and Pain Week also has podcast and a journal available through the website. The website states that those who should attend Pain Week, “includes primary care physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, pharmacists, psychologists, and those in other medical specialties.” (PAINWeek, 2017). It seems to me that it would also be quite beneficial to nurses as well.

If I were to submit my project based on evidence-based practice, I would want to be published in the American Nurses Association’s OJIN, or the Online Journal of Issues in Nursing. The OJIN states on the website, “Authors are encouraged to submit manuscripts, related to any previously posted OJIN topic, that present research, thinking, and/or experiences furthering the discussion of the topic.” (The American Nurses Association, 2017). The website is beneficial in that it provided specifics on how manuscripts are to be submitted and exactly what is needed within each manuscript. The reason I would like to submit to the OJIN is that it is seen by thousands of nurses and is known for its reliability and professionalism. In my opinion the ANA is the benchmark for all other nursing organizations, and much of what we have accomplished as nurses is in part due to the support of the ANA.

RESPONSE 3

Dissemination is an important component of the research process. Effective communication is an important aspect of dissemination. Evidence dissemination has several goals relating to evidence and information such as increasing the reach to a variety of individuals and increasing motivation to use and apply evidence-based practice (Wilson et al., 2010).

One professional journal where I would want to present my project would be the Research and Theory for Nursing Practice International Journal. This journal focuses on issues relevant to improving nursing practice, education and patient care. This international journal also covers topics of significant importance to nurses’, educators, and researchers.

One healthcare conference where I would want to present my project would be the International Conference on Sexually Transmitted Diseases, Infections and AIDS. The aim of this conference is to exchange new scientific and clinical information within the field of sexually transmitted infections and HIV/AIDS. This conference will also unveil the latest in technologies and innovations relevant to STI related fields. Sharing and presenting my project and study findings is essential and beneficial and more importantly can lead to successful implementation (Wilson et al., 2010).

QUESTION Discuss why EBP is an essential component of the practice of a BSN-prepared RN. Identify two ways in which you will continue to integrate evidence into your practice and encourage it within your work environment. What obstacles could challenge this plan, and what steps will you take to minimize their impact?

RESPONSE 4

Intergrading Evidenced based practice is important to the practice of BSN prepared nurses because evidence-based practice is a clinical decision-making process in which clinicians use theory-derived, research-based knowledge to inform their decisions about care delivery (Salinas, 2017). Consideration of individual needs, preferences and resources are also included. EBP replaces policies and procedures based on other sources of evidence such as tradition or authority. It takes into account three things nursing students should consider at all times: best practice evidence, patient preferences and clinical expertise. Having further education like a BSN is needed to better understand research and why it’s needed. Healthcare is constantly changing and to remain relevant within the field you must always stay informed. This means need to continue education, this is why nurses require a certain amount of continuing education credits to renew their licenses. I will continue integrate evidence into practice in my place of work by staying informed on technology and what will work for this particular setting. We will continue to use the patient handout education system that was implemented due to my EBP project. I would also like to propose some type of system to track inmates’ compliance progress after discharge from the prison. I would like to be able to integrate more materials and possible education classes for inmates to take if they are willing obstacles that I will face will be budget and the need for approval of new practices and materials. I would like for the medical team to be able to take a nurse that works in the facility with them to their monthly meetings. This would be beneficial because the nurses can provide insight on the reality of situations we are faced with. I think this will be beneficial in providing reasoning on why we request certain things that are needed within the facility.

RESPONSE 5

Not long before I started this class I accepted a position as a Case Manager. I am the CM for a 32-bed ICU in a Level I trauma center. This position allows me to have frequent contact with patients. I do many things, but the main objective is to help patients transition from the inpatient side to returning to their lives as seamlessly as possible. In doing so I also have to be a good problem solver and often be creative in finding solutions to complicated issues. The issues may be physical, emotional, or psycho-social, or any combination of the above. I was able to achieve this position for multiple reasons. First, I have a wide variety of professional experiences. Secondly, the manager knew I was weeks away from obtaining my BSN. If it were not for the BSN I would not have been offered the job. It didn’t hurt that many of my coworkers.

Evidence-based practice plays an important role in my job. I can be called upon to deal with situations that may not fall within my scope of experience and knowledge. EBP, and knowing how to access the information, can provide me with the most up-to-date information quickly. My job is face-paced, I must be able to find information quickly and easily if I am to keep up with my case load. Joo and Huber (2014) found that, “This study gives evidence that Nursing Case Manager’s practice in community-based settings provides coordinated care services while achieving patients’ positive qualitative outcomes”. Throckmorton and Windle (2009), stated that, Evidence-based practice supports professionalism, patient safety, and quality care.” The authors concluded that due to heavy workloads, Case Managers should take advantage of EBP in systemic reviews as to obtain information in the most efficient way. When time is an asset we don’t always get to enjoy, it is important the we understand EBP but also the many forms it comes in. This includes understanding how research is conducted and how we can ge the most out of our limited time.

RESPONSE 6

Nursing education is responsible for preparing and providing society with knowledgeable and competent nurses who are ready to engage in evidence-based practice for improved patient outcomes. Studies have revealed that BSN students display above average self-confidence in their evidence-based practice competencies. A workforce that is BSN trained offers a great number of benefits such as enhanced training and skill development in critical thinking, leadership, and evidence-based practice (Ashktorab et al., 2015).

The nursing profession has sometimes been reluctant to change practice even in light of research that challenges the traditional way of doing things. One way to continue to integrate and encourage evidence in practice is to keep staff updated on EBP activities and projects by generating EBP newsletters. Another way to continue use of EBP is conduct sessions to teach staff about EBP practice, integrating EBP into the philosophy of nursing, and building policies and procedures to be evidence-based. Obstacles that can challenge this plan would be lack of support from managers/leaders and staff. Research has shown that support is the key to developing a work environment that supports EBP. While evidence-based activities are critical to transforming the organizations culture, the most important change needs to be the individual nurse’s view about research and evidence (Manspeaker & Van Lunen, 2011).

Improving Organization Retention Paper

/in /by

Read the following scenario:

You are an independent consultant who has recently been hired by JC’s Casino to help improve retention issues concerning the dealers and housekeepers. Most of the dealers have been leaving the casino to work at other casinos in the area, even though JC’s Casino pays better than their local competition. On several exit interviews, many of the dealers have cited the pit boss, Joe, as being “toxic, overbearing, evil, and incompetent.” Joe is the casino owner’s step-son and the HR director, Tom Sneed, is afraid to confront the owner.

Among the housekeeping staff, there has been an above normal rate of absenteeism and high turnover of rooms. Many of the managers who work in accounting, payroll, and other departments have had to ask their full-time employees to help cover for housekeeping by cleaning rooms periodically. Because of this problem, the hotel has had to adjust their check in times from 3 p.m. (the industry standard) to 6 p.m. Customers have arrived earlier and the hotel has had to accommodate them by creating a room to hold luggage. They have also had to hire staff to man the luggage room.

The director of housekeeping, Andrew Keehn, has been working hard to add more staff but he states “good help is hard to find.” The housekeeper’s current hourly wage is comparable to other casinos in the area but because of the staffing shortage, the housekeepers have to clean more rooms per day than their counterparts. The casino owner only knows that there are some issues with keeping the dealers and that some customers were upset because they had to wait to check in. You have been hired for a quick fix and your suggestions were needed yesterday.

Write a 1,400- to 1,700-word paper in which you identify each issue and make recommendations to JC, the casino president, on how to improve overall retention. What the scenario does not provide, you can create. Be sure to include the following in your assessment:

  • Evaluate at least two work motivation theories and how they can be applied in order to improve employee recruitment and retention at JC’s Casino.
  • Examine possible occupational stressors that are negatively influencing recruitment and retention. What improvements would you suggest to alleviate these stressors?
  • Examine the role of job satisfaction and its influence on retention at the casino. Provide recommendations for improving job satisfaction of the employees and how that can play a part in successfully improving retention.
  • Discuss counterproductive employee behavior occurring at the casino. What suggestions would you make to reduce the counterproductive behavior and increase productive employee behavior?

Include at least three references

Bullet each section

Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines.

Annotated Bibliography ( Philosophy).The annotated bibliography is a list of sources with annotations, listed in alphabetical order. An annotation is a one or two paragraph summary and analysis of a source.As an introduction to the research paper, students will write a six page annotated bibliography on the topic they have chosen for their research paper. An annotated bibliography gives an account of the research that has been done on a given topic and is excellent preparation for a research project. Like any bibliography, an annotated bibliography is a list of research sources, but each annotation should include three parts: a summary, an evaluation of the text, and a reflection on its applicability to their research. Annotated bibliographies are instruments to help you formulate a thesis.

 

  • My topic is ‘Ethics in the juvenile justice system’. There is so many kids I feel like that are charged as adults and in today’s society I just feel like they aren’t noticed as much because they are children and etc.

Research Paper:The major writing assignment, however, will be the research paper, a conventional 12-15 page research essay (3000-3750 words).  Students will create a research paper/project appropriate to their discipline, using a scholarly MLA format.  Students must use academically valid sources.  Students should use an original viewpoint or idea, and present a persuasive, well-reasoned argument.  Students must submit a formal outline with their bibliography for review prior to the due date of the paper.  At the 400 level, this paper must present an “original perspective” on the topic at hand. See “research project” parameters below.  The research essay is an original essay where the student poses a research question, gathers materials, focuses the research, shapes the argument, and frames the material in relation to their chosen case scenario that is representative of their major. For this 12-15 page essay, students will explain the code of ethics of their major or prospective profession and use the code of ethics to guide their decision making process toward the best resolution of an ethical dilemma. The final version of the essay will take the form of a proposal to resolve the issue addressed to the appropriate party.  Students will explore and build on this issue through independent research and through informal dialogue with faculty members in their major. Students should choose a topic that is relevant to their major or prospective profession, perform first-hand research, frame the topic with readings and present a comprehensive paper. In other words, a psychology major would choose one case scenario, and then, using the APA or ACA code of ethics along with other research, describe the ethical conflict, apply the decision making process, and develop and justify a proposed ethical solution (or several alternative solutions, if applicable).  Sources should be cited from a variety of types of texts (books, journals, websites, etc.) with a full works cited page. The essay should have a clear thesis statement in the introduction, and a clearly flowing argument with sufficient supporting examples, quotes, discussion and analysis. (20% of final grade).
April 24th is when research paper is due!

PERSONAL FINANCE CASE #13

Joe and Pat Ise, 56 and 55, are rethinking their retirement plans. Originally they had planned to retire this fall and move two hours west to Pennsylvania, where the cost of living is cheaper. Both presently commute over an hour a day to Bergen County and New York City, respectively, and their long commutes are taking their toll. They get up at 4:30 every workday to arrive at work on time. The couple has one adult child, age 27, who is married and living on his own.

The problem is that the value of the Ise’s retirement investment portfolio has been substantially reduced during the past two years. Three years ago, they had $520,000 saved and today their portfolio is worth $395,000, despite steady deposits over the last two years.

The Ises admit to making all the classic investment mistakes: investing too much in the technology sector and employer stock in Joe’s 401(k) plan, not carefully researching investments by reading annual reports and prospectuses, relying on “water cooler tips,” and selling in a panic when the stock market tumbled. “We should have stayed in bonds or CDs,” says Joe, “but we got greedy.”

Even with their recent losses, the Ises have an impressive $758,000 net worth. Their assets include $50,000 in CDs, $30,000 in a bank money market deposit account; $120,000 in eleven growth mutual funds; $117,000 in Pat’s 401(k); $105,000 in Joe’s 401(k); $53,000 in IRAs; two cars worth $28,000; a $300,000 house; and $50,000 of personal property. Their debts include $8,000 owed on five credit cards; a $72,000 mortgage balance; and a $15,000 home equity loan.

Neither spouse has any other retirement benefits (e.g., company pension). Joe’s company has just stopped matching 401(k) deposits due to a downturn in business and halted all health coverage for retirees. Pat’s company matches up to 3% of her pay in her 401(k) plan and charges retirees $500 per month for health coverage.

Together, the Ises earn $147,000. Joe is skilled in antique auto restoration and has been itching to start a small business after retirement. To date, he has simply been too busy. He currently has a client, however, who will pay him $15,000 this year to restore a car and is willing to wait for as long as it takes to finish.

The couple has adequate property insurance, a $1 million umbrella liability policy, $500,000 of term life insurance apiece, and disability insurance that provides each with a $3,000 monthly income benefit. They are currently considering the purchase of long-term care insurance.

The Ises also have a will that names their son as beneficiary and Joe’s brother as executor. Joe’s brother is very ill, however, with advanced stage prostate cancer so they are considering other options. No contingent executor or beneficiary is presently named.

Introduction:

Healthcare is a complicated system that includes unique economic processes, regulatory requirements, and quality indicators that are not found in traditional business settings. Therefore, developing unique skill sets relating to organizational leadership and interprofessional team development is essential for leaders within the healthcare industry at any level. As the complexity within the healthcare industry increases, it is important to understand the comprehensive approach to patient care management across the continuum and how the concepts of organizational leadership and team development support leaders in creating a patient-centric environment.

The purpose of this assessment is to provide a framework through which you can experience and understand the unique leadership concepts within healthcare and understand the implications of business and regulatory requirements in providing patient-centered care. You will use system theory, change theory, self-assessment approaches, and team development concepts to design a strategy to increase patient-centered care. Using leadership concepts and theories, you will ensure a sustainable model of healthcare delivery throughout the changing healthcare system that considers future trends, evidence-based practice, and regulatory expansion.

For this assessment, you will use the attached “Patient-and Family-Centered Care Organizational Self-Assessment Tool,” to analyze how patient- and family-centered the healthcare setting is. This form will guide you in evaluating this healthcare setting for strengths and weaknesses in patient-centered care attributes. Based on your analysis, you will create a strategy to bridge those areas and increase patient-centered care.

Assignment 2: Finding Your Place on the Scholar–Practitioner Continuum

An I/O professional has the unique opportunity to both participate in research for the development of the field and apply in practice the fruits of such research efforts. I/O professionals may suggest new lines of research or even conduct their own scientific studies. Conversely, I/O professionals may choose to focus exclusively on the practitioner side of the continuum.

Using the Argosy University online library resources, locate an empirical article that represents a strong example of the dual nature of I/O research and practice. Then, do the following:

  • Analyze and critique the article by following the Argosy University online article critique guidelines.
  • Clearly indicate the elements in the article that are I/O research-oriented and those that are I/O-applied practice-oriented.
  • Considering your own career aspirations, explain where you think you will be on the research, practitioner, or scholar continuum.

Support your statements with appropriate examples and scholarly references.

Your final product will be a 3- to 5-page Microsoft Word document written in APA format and utilize at least three sources from professional literature. Professional literature may include the Argosy University online library resources, relevant textbooks, peer-reviewed journal articles, and websites created by professional organizations, agencies, or institutions (.edu, .org, and .gov). Your paper should be written in a clear, concise, and organized manner; demonstrate ethical scholarship in accurate representation and attribution of sources; and display accurate spelling, grammar, and punctuation.

Submission Details:

  • By the due date assigned, save your document as LastnameFirstInitial_M2_A2.doc and submit it to the Submissions Area.

Assignment Application: Patient-Centered Technologies.

/in /by

Patient-Centered Technologies

Although health care professionals play a significant role in health outcomes, the day-to-day management of a patient’s health is also a personal responsibility. Physicians and nurses can provide diagnoses, interventions, treatments, and prescriptions, but they will only have an impact if patients follow through with their health care provider’s recommendations.

The advent of diverse health-related technologies is providing unprecedented opportunities to assist patients in maintaining control of their health. Consider for a moment health and fitness mobile apps, talking pill bottles, and smart apartments.

New patient-centered technologies are being developed every day!

For this Assignment, you will select a health-related mobile app, personal health record, smart technology, or an interactive social media site that is helping patients to better manage their health.

Must Read All!!! (Important)

Note: For the purposes of this assignment, a “mobile app” is defined as a technology application that can be viewed, played, and stored on smartphone devices and tablets.

To prepare:

· Review Chapter 35, “Consumer/Patient Engagement and eHealth Resources,” in the course text, Essentials of Nursing Informatics, and consider how technological innovations are transforming the ways patients’ access health-related information.

· Reflect on the various patient-centered technologies that you or others may use, as well as those gaining attention in the media.

· Conduct research on patient-centered technologies that assist users in managing their own health.

· Select one technology category such as apps, personal health records, smart technologies, or interactive social media sites to further explore. Examine the parameters of a specific patient-centered technology within this category. How does this technology put patients in control of their health?

To complete:

Submit a 4- to 5-page paper that addresses the following:

Select one technology category such as apps, personal health records, smart technologies, or interactive social media sites to further explore.

· Identify the patient-centered technology that you selected, as well as the population of patients for whom this technology is designed.

· Describe how this technology is tailored toward patient use. Specifically, explain how the features, functions, and design can help patients manage their own health.

· Explain the risks and benefits this technology might bring to users.

· Predict the impact this technology might have on patient health outcomes. Be sure to support your work with specific citations from the Learning Resources and any additional sources.
