Conducting a census in a healthcare organization

Linicians are practicing EBM when they use data from research that shows desirable outcomes and then make decisions on how to treat patients. Likewise, leaders and managers use EBMgt to make decisions on how to operate, improve, or add new services to a healthcare organization.

You are the chief executive officer (CEO) of an acute-care hospital. The governing board has expressed interest in adding a new service line, a twenty-bed geriatric psychiatric unit. This unit would be constructed in an existing vacant space within the hospital.

Create a preliminary market analysis for a geriatric psychiatric unit. Your primary focus for this project is to research credible sources for data that should be used in creating an evidence-based analysis. This analysis will then be used to determine the need and potential success or failure of the new service line.

Assume the unit will maintain a census of twenty patients per day. The market analysis must include the following data:

Population of the service area that will be required to support the new service line
Satisfaction of geriatric psychiatric patients in other similar organizations
Profits in other similar service lines
Requirements and costs for staffing the unit
To support your work, use your course and textbook readings, credible Internet sources, and also use the South University Online Library. As in all assignments, cite your sources in your work and provide references for the citations in APA format.

Identify the issue or problem under consideration. Evaluate sources of information on a topic for relevance and credibility. State conclusions or solutions clearly and precisely.

Global terrorism

In week 3, we discussed the Dilemmas in the Deterrence of Terrorists (Chapter 4 in The Counter Terrorism Puzzle). Why is deterring terrorists a challenge? Do you think terrorists can be deterred? Address both sides of the argument (through diplomacy, information, military, economic, financial, intelligence and law enforcement (D.I.M.E.F.I.L.) means).

The U.S. Government published the most recent National Strategy for Counterterrorism (NSCT) in October 2018. For this second topic you are to develop a framework for a brand-new National Strategy for Counter Terrorism of the United States. Address both domestic (homeland) components and offensive overseas elements. Make sure to address how you will balance domestic security with civil liberties at home and how you will be effective in dealing with terrorists abroad without creating even more terrorists in the process.

Make sure your framework employs all elements of national power (diplomatic, informational, military, economic, intelligence, law enforcement, financial). Also describe the importance of gathering all sources of domestic and overseas intelligence for effective counter terrorism efforts. You do not need to write an entire strategy, just the outline or framework for a new NSCT; an executive summary or details of your pillars or plan of action for a comprehensive strategy.
