According to the Department of Health and Human Services (2002), the nation’s capacity to respond to bioterrorism depends largely on the ability of clinicians and public health officials to detect, manage, and effectively communicate in advance of and during a bioterrorism event.

Prepare a narrated presentation, using PowerPoint or other similar software, detailing a bioterrorism-related issue, analyzing the threat(s) that the bioterrorism-related issue poses.

In preparation for your presentation, research and review at least one (1) healthcare facility’s preparedness plan.

Prepare a twenty (20) slide presentation in which you:

1. Specify the key steps that healthcare managers should follow in preparing their organizations for a potential bioterrorism attack.
2. Outline at least two (2) possible early detection and surveillance strategies, and investigate the main ways those strategies may prompt timely interventions to effectively treat and diminish the impact of a bioterrorism threat.
3. Evaluate the specific preparation steps in the preparedness plan of a healthcare facility of your choosing.
4. Suggest at least one (1) possible improvement to promote early detection and enhanced surveillance.
5. Use at least four (4) recent (within the last five [5] years), quality academic resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and other Websites do not qualify as academic resources.

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

• Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.

Conveying an angle of vision (or dominant impression) without directly stating the intended effect challenges the writer to choose his or her words carefully and to make every word pull its weight. This assignment requires you to use rhetorical strategies to achieve two different dominant impressions. It requires good observation of details, precise and often creative word choices, and strategic organizational decisions.

Two Descriptions Paper

For this assignment, pretend you are entering a contest sponsored by a travel magazine. The rules are that readers must read a description of a place and decide whether they would like to visit it or avoid it. The only prohibition for the writer is that he or she must not directly tell the reader whether the place is pleasant or unpleasant. Reads must be able to decide, based solely on the writer’s description.

You must visit the place of your choice (see #1 below) and then, based on your observations only, you must write two descriptions of the same place. Each description must convey a different dominant impression. One description must make the reader want to visit this place, and one description must make the reader want to avoid this place.

To get full credit for this assignment, you must do three things.

1. Go to a place of your choice and observe this place for 15-20 minutes, making notes of what you observe. Be sure to use all five senses. Please note: you may not use your home or your yard for this assignment. Some good places are the zoo, a park, a movie theater, a café, a shopping mall. Do not rely on memories of a place you have been to before; this will not fulfill the assignment properly.

2. Write two descriptions of this place, each conveying a different dominant impression and each consisting of 125-175 words. Describe only what you observed during your 15-20 minute period.

3. Write an analysis of 200-250 words. In your analysis, do the following:
   • Explain how you created the differing impressions (what strategies you used). See strategies #2-5 on pages 47-48 for help with this. (Remember, you may not use strategy #1.) Cite specific examples of each strategy you used.

Health care costs have become a major issue of concern in the U.S. and defensive medicine practices have become a topic of increased interest among a variety of stakeholders.  For this assignment, visit the Ashford University Library and read the Hermer and Brody article titled “Defensive medicine, cost containment, and reform.” Identify the ways to contain health care costs as well as the potential to reduce costs associated with malpractice claims.

Analyze the following:

1. 1. The major points covered in the article.
   2. The pros and cons of Tort Reform and the practice of defensive medicine.
   3. The implications of Tort Reform on the practice of defensive medicine, quality of care, and health care costs.
   4. The author’s position on Tort Reform. Discuss whether you agree or disagree with the author’s opinion on Tort Reform and support your position.
   5. At least three major stakeholders involved in Tort Reform, their roles, and general positions on the issues discussed in your paper.

This assignment provides an opportunity to gain understanding of two unique issues, the Tort reform and defensive medicine practices. In addition, you will discover how these two issues may contribute to the rising health care costs as well as the delivery of quality health care services from the perspectives of various stakeholders.

Your Paper:

1. Must be three to four double-spaced pages in length (excluding the title and reference pages) and formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.
2. Must include a title page with the following information:

   a. Title of paper

   b. Student’s name

   c. Course name and number

   d. Instructor’s name

   e. Date submitted

3. Must begin with an introductory paragraph that has a succinct thesis statement.
4. Must address the topic of the paper with critical thought.
5. Must end with a conclusion that reaffirms the thesis.
6. Must use at least three scholarly sources, excluding the source article. Sources must be cited according to APA style, as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.
