Current and Future Considerations for Healthcare Delivery
Imagine that you are an administrator in a health services organization and the CEO of your organization asks you to assess and report on developments that are likely to affect the organizations success. What will you discover as you investigate changes in your community and the broader health care landscape?
In preparation for this Assignment review your completed Week 3 Assignment including any feedback you received from your Instructor. Selectoneorganization from that Assignment on which to focus for this Assignment (i.e. imagine that this organization is the one in which you work).
Use the Learning Resources provided in this week as well as previous weeks and locate additional sources through the Walden Library and credible websites to conduct your research. Use the following questions to guide your investigation:
What are the prevalent health concerns in this community?
What are the key issues related to cost quality and access that affect the organization and the people this organization serves?
Which organizations in this area are business competitors and/or which organizations use highly effective practices or strategies that this organization may learn from or adopt?
How will demographics and health reform likely impact the organization as well as the broader community in the next 5 years?
Next review the information on business writing included in the Learning Resources. Consider what the central point of your memo should be. For instance is there a critical challenge the organization is likely to encounter? Does the information you have gathered suggest the need for a particular course of action or a new business direction? If so use this memo to inform and influence the CEO. If not share the findings of your research with the assumption that the CEO will use this information as a launching point for future discussions.
The Assignment

Write a business memo in which you address:
Prevalent health concerns in the community
Issues related to cost quality and access that affect the organization and the people it serves
Organizations in the community that are business competitors and/or from which you can learn highly effective practices or strategies
Ways in which changing demographics and health reform will likely affect your organization and the broader community in the next 5 years
General Guidance on Assignment Length:Your Assignment should be 34 pages double-spaced (or 12 pages single-spaced) excluding a title page and references.

Assignment 2: Project -Final Project Summary

By Saturday, May 6, 2017 Submit your assignment to the Week 5: Assignment 2 Dropbox

In this course, you have been asked to provide an analysis of a current nursing or patient care problem which has an impact on the hospital’s budget. Specifically, you have described the problem, demonstrated a proposed analysis of the problem, identified the potential impact of the problem on the current budget and recommended potential solutions to the problem. This week, you will create a power point presentation, including notes pages to explain each of the concepts in depth. As you create this project, reflect on the various aspects of the budgeting process you have learned throughout this course and the feedback you have received from the facilitator on the individual parts of this assignment throughout the course. Be sure to reflect this information in your presentation.

Case Study on Biomedical Ethics in the Christian Narrative
Write a 1,200-1,500 word analysis of “Case Study: Healing and Autonomy.” In light of the readings, be sure to address the following questions:

Under the Christian narrative and Christian vision, what sorts of issues are most pressing in this case study?
Should the physician allow Mike to continue making decisions that seem to him to be irrational and harmful to James?
According to the Christian narrative and the discussion of the issues of treatment refusal, patient autonomy, and organ donation in the topic readings, how might one analyze this case?
According to the topic readings and lecture, how ought the Christian think about sickness and health? What should Mike as a Christian do? How should he reason about trusting God and treating James?
Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required

Using the Walden Library and other credible sources, locate and read two or three articles that address your practice problem. (you must cite the articles read in this assignment)

Starting the Research Process

Formulating a specific, applicable research problem statement is an important step in beginning a research process. The problem statement defines the focus of the research study, dictates what methods and tools will be used, and sets the stage for all subsequent elements of the research process. Because of this, it is necessary to put a great deal of thought into the problem statement to ensure that the rest of the research process will be well planned and appropriate to the problem at hand.

This week’s Discussion asks you to identify evidence-based practice problems that can be addressed using quantitative research methods. Based on the practice problem you select, formulate a quantitative research problem statement. In this Discussion, you are also given the opportunity to evaluate your colleagues’ problem statements. Please refer to this week’s Learning Resources for appropriate and scholarly examples of research problem statements and how they inform the rest of the research process.

To prepare:

Determine a nursing practice problem that is of interest to you and that is appropriate for a quantitative research study. Note: You will continue to use this problem in the Discussions over the next several weeks.
Using the Walden Library and other credible sources, locate and read two or three articles that address your practice problem. (you must cite the articles read in this assignment)
With your practice problem in mind, review the Learning Resources and media presentations focusing on the strategies presented for generating a research problem statement.
Ask yourself: What is the importance of my practice problem to nursing, research, and theory? How might addressing this problem bring about positive social change? How will investigating this problem support evidence-based practice?
By Tomorrow 09/06/17, write a minimum of 550 words in APA format with a minimum of 3 references from the list below which include the level one headings as numbered below:

Post

1) A proposed research problem statement ( it has to be related to nursing for example: could be on diabetes, heart failure or more …)

2) Including sufficient information to make your focus clear and explaining how addressing this problem may bring about positive social change.
