Reducing 30-Day Hospital Readmissions

• Choose a nursing issue that impacts your practice. The nursing issue may involve a structure, process, or outcome. Examples might include an increased number of patient falls, long wait times in the Emergency Department, high staff turnover, poor medication compliance in an outpatient setting, mandatory overtime

• Review the literature (including a minimum of eight peer-reviewed articles published within the last five years) related to the nursing issue.

• Your team is in charge of establishing a committee to address this issue.

• Establish membership of your committee including which disciplines should be represented and what individual responsibilities are.

• Provide goals and objectives for your committee.

• Provide a timeline for expected resolution of the issue and dissolution of committee.

• Provide guidelines for communication among committee members, including resolution of conflict.

• Provide budgeting, cost benefit analysis, and marketing plans.

• Describe how you will implement your evidence-based solution to the issue, addressing and measuring the effectiveness of your model.

• Students are expected to interview nursing and other healthcare leaders at their facility to help develop their committee.

• Students are also expected to attend interdisciplinary or interprofessional meetings to gain insight on the workings of teams and apply what they learned to their ideal team.

• Student groups will submit one 8–10 page paper for their group.

• Additionally, students will develop a 15–20 slide PowerPoint or Prezi presentation about their team and present to classmates.

Durable Medical Equipment Letter

You will be writing a Durable Medical Equpment (DME) letter for Damon, a 46-year-old male with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). You can review his case on Simucase. You may add fictitious information about Damon in your DME letter to help with supporting details for your WHEELCHAIR recommendations but it does need to make overall sense in the case.

• Identify what specific seating system is needed; bring specific information on the product and be prepared to provide a rationale for the need for this DME and any special features/attachments (e.g., justify the need for a tilt-in-space custom wheelchair and the need for swing-away, removable leg/foot rests). Do NOT consider more than two attachments/special devices or add-ons for the seating system.

Must be written in a business letter format and contain the following:

1. Client name, identifying information, medical diagnoses, and summary of medical history, introduction to the writer

2. Description of the impact of medical conditions on the client’s function/occupational performance

3. Description of the client’s current occupational performance

4. Statement of medical necessity for the DME you are recommending. Specifically identify the seating equipment that is needed (with no more than 2 attachments/add-ons)

5. Clear, explicit justification for the need for this DME (for the seating system as a whole and then for a maximum of 2 attachments), including the ways in which the equipment will be used and will improve or benefit the client’s function/performance. Also, address the impact on the client if this DME is not approved. Be sure to emphasize the medical necessity for this DME.

6. Provide your contact information.

Scoring: See syllabus for grading rubic- check your letter against the grading rubric prior to submission and I have posted some example letters posted by my instructor that can be replicated for the format of the letter. Also, I am an occupational therapy student just to give some context about the paper.

Instructions

1. Ensure external historiographical analysis is desirable.

2.Show command of seminar readings and relevant knowledge from LECTURES NOTES 1-5 (SEE BELOW); reliance on outside reading or the internet will prove a disadvantage!

4.There is no one true way.

5. Different answers might take entirely opposite positions and yet be equally successful.

6. The key is that answers be well-reasoned, well-expressed, and well evidenced.

7. Excellent answers will have an argument or thesis that answers the question by taking a clear position.

8. They will use examples (people, ideas, organizations, events) from key areas covered and readings to demonstrate the position.

9. They will define key terms, show understanding of relevant concepts in the history of sexuality, exhibit nuance and sophistication, and anticipate objections.

Provide specific examples for this.

2) In-depth self-evaluation of own work style and performance (strengths & weaknesses) as a novice special educator (weakness cannot be “a lack of experience as a teacher”); and you can talk about this as a weakness “one of my weaknesses is that I often set goals that may be too difficult for my learners to achieve. ” Write examples for strengths and weaknesses and describe in-depth.

Week 3 Discussion #2

Answer the following question by starting a new thread. Respond to at least two other students’ threads/posts. Remember you must post on three different days.

Kurt and Alice are the parents of 3-year-old Morgan. They currently live in a rural unpopulated area, where Morgan rarely has opportunities to interact with other children. Kurt and Alice are not sure if they should arrange a play group for Morgan or if they should simply wait until Morgan is old enough for kindergarten. On the basis of research presented in the text, how would you respond to Kurt and Alice’s concern? What are the benefits of peer relations during the preschool years?

Labour Market to the Aggregate Supply

You should provide an analysis along the lines of the material of the topic on “From the Labour Market to the Aggregate Supply (AS) Relation”. Write a Cobb-Douglas production function to derive labour demand according to
(1— a)HLZ = _//14 Labour supply is given from – N Wt

By using the equilibrium condition Ldt = L, t = L„ you should solve and substitute back in the production technology and, after taking logs and defining composite parameter terms, derive the AS relation yt = y *Apt —Et_ipt).

A very good answer will detail all the steps of the derivation, together with explaining the reasoning behind each step. It will also explain the characteristics of the expressions used (e.g., what are the underlying mechanisms and intuition behind the labour demand and labour supply expressions).

SECTION A
Answer ONLY ONE out of the two questions in this section

(a) Present a model of the labour market and use its equilibrium to derive an aggregate supply relation of the form y, = y * +8(p, where 0 < B <1, y, is the level of output, y * is the natural level of output, A is the price level — all measured in natural logs — while is the expectations operator. [12.5%]

(b) Explain the mechanisms that underlie the relation between price level and output in aggregate supply. Illustrate the relation diagrammatically and then show and explain the impact of a reduction in the expected price level. [10%]

(c) “Can a permanent/anticipated change in monetary policy affect output?” Provide an analysis that addresses this question, by combining the aggregate supply relation, with an aggregate demand relation of the form y, = m, — p,, where m, is the supply of money. [27.5%]
