The Discussion Board (DB) is part of the core of online learning. Classroom discussion in an online environment requires the active participation of students and the instructor to create robust interaction and dialogue. Every student is expected to create an original response to the open-ended DB question as well as engage in dialogue by responding to posts created by others throughout the week. At the end of each unit, DB participation will be assessed based on both level of engagement and the quality of the contribution to the discussion.

At a minimum, each student will be expected to post an original and thoughtful response to the DB question and contribute to the weekly dialogue by responding to at least two other posts from students. The first contribution must be posted before midnight (Central Time) on Wednesday of each week. Two additional responses are required after Wednesday of each week. Students are highly encouraged to engage on the Discussion Board early and often, as that is the primary way the university tracks class attendance and participation.

If you are planning to use a repurposed or reused assignment, please let your instructor know about it. If an instructor is not made aware of work being repurposed or reused, an instructor will treat the assignment as a plagiarized task and may post an F grade until proof of originality is provided. Click here for more information.

The purpose of the Discussion Board is to allow students to learn through sharing ideas and experiences as they relate to course content and the DB question. Because it is not possible to engage in two-way dialogue after a conversation has ended, no posts to the DB will be accepted after the end of each unit.

Complete the following for this assignment:

• Choose a topic for your argument or persuasive essay from the list provided in the Individual Project instructions.
• Post your thesis and outline to the Discussion Board. Follow the model provided in the Individual Project instructions.
• Post at least two follow-up responses to classmates. Each response should contain answers to the following questions:
  • Write down what you consider to be the essay’s thesis and respond to it.
    • Do you agree or disagree?
    • What experiences have you had that are related to the topic?
    • What hints or cautions would you give the writer as he or she develops the topic?
  • List the author’s three main points and describe how each is or is not related to the thesis.
  • Make at least 1 suggestion to improve the student’s outline.

Assignment 1: The Primary Care Clinic

Due Week 4 and worth 160 points

You are the manager of a new primary care clinic located about twenty five (25) miles outside of a small city (population of 50,000). With five (5) family physicians, two (2) nurse practitioners, two (2) physicians’ assistants (PAs), and twenty (20) clinical support staff consisting of RNs, LPNs, and CMAs, the clinic provides primary care services to a diverse community of people living and working outside the city limits. Originally a rural area, the community has been growing and now includes promising opportunities in employment, education, and comfortable living spaces for young families. However, there are still many residents who struggle to make ends meet with older farms that have belonged to families for generations.

The central city includes two (2) large acute care facilities, and one (1) tertiary care facility that is known for its excellent pulmonary care. Both acute care hospitals provide the usual services such as labor and delivery, outpatient surgery, chronic diseases care, etc. and have fully equipped ancillary departments, such as lab and radiology. Up until this point, the residents have used the facilities’ emergency departments for routine illnesses and conditions when their private physicians were not readily available.

Write a five to seven (5-7) page paper in which you:

1. Analyze some of the key social, political, and economic factors that have led to the proliferation of urgent care facilities and primary care practices over the last 20-30 years.
2. Create a comprehensive mission statement for the clinic, and discuss how it will facilitate the provision of quality services.
3. Analyze and discuss one (1) or more directions the clinic might take to grow its business. Determine what factors you would consider when deciding what services to provide in-house and which ones to affiliate with other institutions.
4. Decide how you will determine if the clinic is meeting its goals. Identify three (3) performance measurements you could use to evaluate the success of the clinic’s services. Begin by naming a goal, and then identify a quantifiable measurement you could use for each to determine if you are coming close or falling short of the goal.
5. Determine how you would then address whatever opportunities for improvement seem to exist and what processes you would put in place.
6. Use at least three (3) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources.
7. Format your assignment according to the following formatting requirements:
   1. Typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides.
   2. 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 is not included in the required page length.
   3. Include a reference page. Citations and references must follow APA format. The reference page is not included in the required page length.

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:

• Analyze the critical management issues, purpose, functions, and performance measures of different departments within healthcare organizations.
• Examine the political, economic, and social forces that have influenced the organizational foundations of the United States healthcare system.
• Explain how public policy has shaped the development of the U.S. healthcare system.
• Use technology and information resources to research issues in health services organization management.
• Write clearly and concisely about health services organization management using proper writing mechanics.

W7 Discussion “External and Internal Evidence”

“Check out attachments and read instructions before you make Hand Shake. Otherwise, I won’t sign the agreement”

 

Hello,

 

I hope this message finds you doing well.

This assignment is ONLY ONE page or less.

 

Read carefully all the files/instructions I attached and then write 1 page (Executive Summary) based on the instructions and attachment provided below.

See attachment:

1. instruction.

2. Allround Marketing Plan. (To summarize).

3. Sample of my part of the assignment.

 

The sample is not that good, it got -B in the grade. I just attached it to get an idea.

 

TEHN write the Executive Summary based on all three attachments. If you miss some points in the attachments you wouldn’t be able to write correctly.

 

====

I will run the paper through Copyscape that homework market provides, and the result MUST be = ZERO.

====

The most IMPORTANT things for me:

1) Follow the ALL instructions carefully 100%.

2) Use very simple language and idea because I’m an international student and I need to understand everything about my paper from my paper itself. We might discuss our papers in class 🙁

3) Finish it on time.

4) To be able to continue with me for 9 weeks for nine following assignments in the same class, one paper each week, because all these 9 assignments are going to be one project in the end (Marketing plan).

 

“See all attachments, and read them carefully, because I’m going to be your customer for the same topic in nine following assignments”

 

Check out attachments before you make Hand Shake to make sure all of them can be opened.
