Health Policy at Intermountain Health

Overview: For this case assignment, There are three parts: youwill write a short introduction, answer the case questions (below), and then write a summary based on the information that you gathered and analyzed from the course. (PDF is attached below)

Part 1 – Introduction:

Write a one to two paragraph introduction that explains the organization, the issues that it was facing in 2011, and why those issues were important. Include any relevant information that you can identify, in particular about health policy. This should be concise, informational, and written in a professional tone.

Part 2 – Case/Analysis Questions:

1. Who are the stakeholders in the success of intermountain health?

2. What is your take on the current state of operational performance from 2011 to 2017?

3. List five health policy issues that you can identify based on the readings and video. (Use the text as a backdrop to identifying relevant policy issues).

4. Describe what you see as the most critical emerging health policy issue that Intermountain has dealt with, or is dealing with.

5. Evaluate the health policy issue that you have identified:

  • o Explain the context
  • o State the problem
  • o What other policy options can you identify?
  • o What evidence can you evaluate?

1. You’ll need to identify two sources (use the library – ask for help from a librarian)

  • o What are your recommendations

1. Use the sources identified to support recommendations

2. You can also use the articles and video

  • o What outcomes do you expect?

Part 3 – Summary Paragraph:

Introduction to Programming

Assignment Brief

Description:

The assignment is given as three separate tasks. Each task is to be answered individually. Task 1 has been written and designed to check your knowledge and understand of data structures and programming techniques, including pseudocode. Task 2 checks your knowledge and understanding of Algorithms and arrays, in order for you to put given integers in the correctly stated order. Task 3 gives you the opportunity to write an extended code, once the initial pseudocode has been written. This particular task will check your knowledge and understanding of loops and IF statements.

Note:

The code that you write in order to complete all three tasks will be documented in two ways. The first being screenshotted evidence within your submitted word document, with detailed reasoning and justification for your processes. Secondly, your written code for each task that you have screenshotted, will be copy / pasted into the appendices at the end of your submission, so it can be checked for validity within the software.

 

Learning outcomes:

After completing the modules you should be able to:

  • LO1 Develop an understanding of data structures and programming techniques in context of a programming language.
  • LO2 Demonstrate an understanding of how programs are developed i.e. from concept to development and testing.
  • LO3 Demonstrate an ability to write programs using appropriate structure and language rules.

Assignment Task

Task 1:

Building contractor

You are developer and you wish to build five new houses, all from wood and all uniform. Each house has 3 rooms, all with exactly the same dimensions, i.e. 2m x 4m. Wood prices have been set at £6.00 per meter. You need to determine the total cost of the build of all five houses. Initially, you will need to write the pseudocode to solve the following problem, define the variable name and data types, plus write the code to solve the total build cost.

Hint: Determine the area of each room in each house and the total area of all rooms combined. Thus, giving the total price of the construction.

 

Task 2:

Internet traffic

As a digital business analysist, you have been asked by your line manager to supply the last seven months traffic figures to your company’s website. At the moment, the traffic numbers are not in ascending order. Write the pseudocode to solve the initial problem and then write a Java algorithmic program to sort the array of given traffic figures. The traffic numbers to sort correctly are:  2, -17, 8, 26, 1, 0, 84

Hint: Bubble sort

Task 3

Car repairs

An owner of an auto repair shop wishes to organise his team of mechanics at the beginning of the day. To make the distribution of work equal, he organises cars with an even amount of faults into bay 1 and cars with an odd amount of faults into bay 2. There are nine cars in total Write the pseudocode for the problem, then write a Java program to separate the even and odd number of car faults. Have all even numbers displayed first, then odd numbers at the end. The repairs required for each car are as follows. 18, 14, 12, 6, 4, 21, 19, 9, 3

Chapter 3
Use the hsbdata.sav file to do these problems with one or more of these variables: math achievement, mother’s education, ethnicity, and academic track. Use Tables 3.2, 3.3, and the instructions in the text to produce the appropriate plots or descriptive statistics. Be sure that the plots and/or descriptive statistics make sense (i.e. that they are a “good choice” or “OK”) for the variable.

3.1. Create bar charts. Discuss why you did or did not create a bar chart for each variable.

3.2. Create histograms. Discuss why you did or did not create a histogram for each variable.

3.3. Create frequency polygons. Discuss why you did or did not create a frequency polygon for each variable. Compare the plots in Extra SPSS Problems 3.1, 3.2, and 3.3.

3.4. Compute the range, standard deviation, and skewness. Discuss which measures of variability are meaningful for each of the four variables.

3.5. Compute the mean, median, and mode. Discuss which measures of central tendency are meaningful for each of the four variables.

The student will complete 8 short-answer discussions in this course and 1 long-answer Integrating Faith and Learning discussion. In the thread for each short-answer discussion the student will post short answers to the prompted questions. The answers must demonstrate course-related knowledge and support their assertions with scholarly citations in the latest APA format. Minimum word count for all short answers cumulatively is 200 words. The minimum word count for Integrating Faith and Learning discussion is 600 words. For each thread the student must include a title block with your name, class title, date, and the discussion forum number; write the question number and the question title as a level one heading (e.g. D1.1 Variables) and then provide your response; use Level Two headings for multi part questions (e.g. D1.1 & D1.1.a, D1.1.b, etc.), and include a reference section. Respond to the following short answer questions from Chapter Three in the Morgan, Leech, Gloeckner, & Barrett textbook:

  1. You should spend 10-12 hours creating the draft.

Week 6 Discussion Board

Details:

In this section, you will write and post for peer review a draft of a research proposal for a question on a contemporary issue of your choosing. You will need to focus the issue, research it (in light of questions provided below), and prepare it using the template provided. This proposal will be an opportunity for you to build upon your interests in contemporary issues and form your thoughts on how to study a topic in a way that is applicable to the workforce. You will ultimately use the proposal as the basis of your work in the research course later in the program. Thus, you should spend time and energy doing the research proposal with care. This section’s assessment is the first step in your process.

In your peer review, provide feedback to help your peers improve the draft for submission later this week.

Address the following questions for each of your peers:

  1. Does the draft follow the template format provided?
  2. Is the research purpose clear?
  3. Does the literature review include 10 sources? Is each source used in a meaningful way in the review?
  4. Is APA style used appropriately in the draft?
  5. Are there mechanical or spelling issues that should be addressed before submission?
  6. Are their concerns and questions that you have about clarity or content that should be addressed before submission.
  7. What is one thing that you really appreciate about the question, the sources or the draft? (Be specific in identifying a strength in the peer work that your peer can build on.)
