Researchers have documented systematic variation in Medicare spending and health services utilization across various geographic regions for decades.

In the first meeting with the board, you are tasked to reduce health care spending and utilization in your hospital. Your board provides a list of factors influencing health care spending and service uses. Your board asks you to prioritize the list and select one of the most critical determinants to implement a strategic plan.

Some categories of the factors influencing health care spending and service uses are the following:

The operating cost regarding the supplies needed to care for patients.
Diversity within patient populations, patients’ current state of health, access to care, insurance coverage, and patients’ preferences for their care.
Physicians’ decisions on what care to give and the availability of reliable medical evidence to guide those decisions.
In the next meeting, you are required to present your strategic plan to your board. Be sure to include the appraised factors in the list that you deemed the most important. Justify your rationales for your selections.

Diversity and Inclusion

According to the U.S. Census Bureau’s projections, more than half of the children born in the United States will belong to a minority race or ethnic group by the year of 2020. Diversity is present in the professional workforce and the patient population. These changing demographics highlight the importance of cultural diversity in a health care profession in which the patient-provider relationship is key to determining the quality of care. It is imperative that health care professionals be diverse, well educated, and culturally sensitive to the patients that they serve. Strategic human resources (HR) management is a process of formulating and implementing HR strategies that are aligned with the organization’s mission, vision, goals, and business strategy.

Step 1: Conduct research.

Using the LIRN Library and acceptable evidenced based websites, research non-verbal communication. Locate at least 3 sources that discusses non-verbal communication in an academic manner.

Step 2: Summarize each article.

Summarize what you learned from the article addressing one side of the issue. Be sure to cite the article used in this assignment according to APA style.

Be sure to cite the article used in this assignment according to APA style. Your summaries should be neutral; that is, your opinion on the topic should not be evident in either summary.

Step 3: Pre-write.

Complete the prewriting strategy for comparison-contrast papers and select the pattern for your essay. Be sure to show your work in the same file where you completed steps 1-2 above.

Step 4: Draft an essay.

Using your plan from step 3, complete the draft of an essay comparing and contrasting the two articles. This draft will be the basis for your research essay.

• Your introduction should provide a brief overview of the research topic.

• Your thesis should indicate whether your draft will focus on the similarities, differences, or both between the two articles, and it should prepare readers for the body paragraphs. It should also indicate which side you prefer.

• Your body paragraphs should include specific evidence (summaries, paraphrases or quotes) that help readers understand the points you are making.

• Your conclusion should indicate the effects of the disagreements on this topic. Why do these two sides exist? Why is compromise possible/desirable or not?

Step 5: Revise.

Reread your draft. Make changes that improve the thesis, the topic sentences, and the transitions in your paper as recommended in any feedback you’ve received.

Make sure that your own thinking is more evident than the material you have borrowed from your two sources, which should have the appropriate in-text parenthetical citations.

In other words, 30-40+% of the draft you generated in step 4 should be different in this draft.

Step 6: Edit.

Using your draft, make changes that improve your sentence construction, word choice, and punctuation use. Specifically, make sure that you are consistently using present tense to discuss the articles. This version is the one that will be graded for writing quality.

Step 7: Save and submit your assignment.

This is an assignment you will want to keep in your personal files as well as submit to your instructor. Therefore, when you have completed the assignment, save a copy for yourself in an easily accessible place and submit a copy to your instructor.
