In today’s uncertain economic and regulatory environment for the health services industry, many organizations may be presented with merger and acquisition opportunities to gain market share and drive financial and operational efficiencies. Given the current state of this market segment:
1.Suggest the key financial drivers that most likely will cause health care organizations to merge. Provide support for your rationale.
2.Assuming that two (2) health care organizations have merged. Determine the evaluation criteria that a financial analyst would use to evaluate the financial performance of the organization post-merger, and identify the determinants that the analyst would use to decide whether or not the merger generated favorable financial results for the organization. Provide support for your evaluation.
3.Determine the key factors that will drive the financial planning process for most organizations in the post-merger phase, and examine the related impact to the organization process. Provide support for your rationale.
4.Create an argument to assert that the financial planning process is of high value to a health care organization. Provide support for your argument.
5.Predict the financial stability of the health care industry over the next five (5) years. Provide support for your prediction.
6.Use at least three (3) quality academic resources. Note: Wikipedia and other Websites do not qualify as academic resources.

Learning Theories Interactive Case study. Associate what you have learned about the theories to this case study.
Aminah Rachedi (nurse educator)
Recently appointed to position as nurse educator at local community hospital. This is a first lead role at this hospital. She just completed master’s degree in nursing education and eager to apply her knowledge. Chief of nursing officer has invited her in to discuss of lack of quality and consistency in existing training of volunteers for the hospital volunteer program. The CNO would like to nursing education to take over training. Therefore, CNO charged to Aminah(educator)developing new training course for hospital volunteers. Aminah recognized this is particular challenges because of the diversity of the students.
Her current volunteers
1. 2 high school students
2. College intern majoring in kinesiology
3. 2 stay-at –home moms
4. Retired bus driver
5. Retired soft-ware developer
When developing a class for an audience with different learning styles and age groups, a variety of learning strategies are needed/ the auditory learner would not appreciate the printed material, while the kinetic will not be comfortable in a formal setting with no breaks or movement. The analytical learner needs a quiet environment while the global learner needs periods of relaxation, soft lightning, and snacks to learn.
Diversity of learning styles- Developmental psychology theories: this would be difficult to label with just one theory. The content of the chapter illustrates the diverse ways that people learn. The theories from developmental psychology (PP. 405-406) would also be applicable.
Adult learners- Adult learning theory: Adult learning theory (PP.402-204). Note especially the relationship between experience and motivation (P.403)
Reason and motivation –
Cognitive filed theory: Cognitive filed theory states “motivation is key to learning” (P.393)
Physical skills – Behavioral theories: Psychomotor skills are one of the three categories of learning. One of the behavioral learning theories could be applied because they focus on the observable and measurable aspects of human behavior (P.388).

QUANTITATIVE
Task
Project proposals should:
• Be a maximum of 1,500 words in length
• Include the following:
o Title of study
o Introduction
o Aims & Objectives
o Methods
o Proposed analysis
o Work plan
o References
Learning outcomes
By its completion, you should have:
1. demonstrated the ability to conduct a literature review
2. demonstrated the ability to formulate hypotheses or research questions
3. demonstrated the ability to design a research project
Coursework requirements
The project proposal is an essential component of the module as it reflects your progress in
developing your research methods skills and competencies and enables us to assess
whether your project is suitable (academically, practically and ethically). You should develop
your proposal in liaison with your allocated project supervisor. The proposal must be a
maximum of 1,500 words in length, excluding references and appendices. It must be wordprocessed
double-spaced. Do not include any unnecessary pages. Your proposal needs to
be submitted via Moodle.
The proposal must be in the following format with the required sub-headings in bold:
Title of study
The title should express clearly the nature or purpose of the study without using
unnecessary words. For example, it should not be “An experiment to study perception of
complex sounds”, but “Perception of complex sounds”.
Introduction
Previous research having relevance to your study should be summarised and referenced
here. At the proposal stage, you are only expected to summarise and reference key sources
(normally approximately five references should have been read and cited). You should
always avoid referring to standard textbooks; instead you should be accessing original
journal articles or book chapters. Your summary of key literature should make clear the
psychological issue(s) that you are investigating and the rationale for your study should
follow logically from that. Can your reader clearly identify the topic area you are going to
address?
2
Aims & Objectives
This section should include a statement of the purpose of the study. It should contain the
reasons for carrying out the study and the specific hypotheses to be tested or research
questions to be addressed.
Methodology
Participants
In this section, indicate how many participants will take part, who they will be and how they
will be selected. However, present only relevant information such as gender, age-range etc.
Materials
Include information about any equipment or materials that you will use. Generic terms are
usually appropriate, e.g. “IBM type PC”.
Design
Here you should state clearly and simply any variables you are manipulating, any variables
you are measuring and the overall design of the study. If you are doing a qualitative study,
state the nature of the data you will collect and approach you will use when collecting it.
Procedure
You need to provide an exact description of the procedures that you will follow. This
description should enable the reader to understand precisely what the participant will
experience.
Please note, qualitative proposals may use slightly different sub-headings for the
methodology section. It is suggested these are: Participants, Design, Data-collection, but
discuss with your supervisor.
Proposed Analysis
You need to make clear exactly what statistical tests or analytic approach you intend to
perform. It is not sufficient to state that the analysis will involve using SPSS! In the case of
statistical analysis, you need to state the dependent variable under investigation and the
levels of any factors. For the analysis of qualitative data, you need to state which approach
you will use and describe how to conduct the analysis.
Work plan
You should agree goals to be attained by each particular date. If you are intending to carry
out a pilot study (recommended), include time for that. Try to be as detailed as possible –
this will not only help your supervisor determine if the proposed project is feasible in the time
allowed, it will also help you to plan your work.
References
Ensure that these are in APA style. You should only include items in your reference list that
you actually cite in the main body of the text.

When conducting a map-reduce computation task in a NoSQL database such as a key-value database, many results produced by the mappers (the processor dedicated to do map tasks) and the reducers (the processors dedicated to do reduce tasks) need to be maintained for the purpose of reuse for the later stages of the computation. A commonly recommended approach is to store these outcomes of the Mappers and the Reducers as the materialized views.
Please first study the relevant content in the course materials, and also investigate the library and Internet for information about the Map-Reduce and the materialized view, and then based on the results of your research discuss the following aspects:
The principles of how to store the data in a Key-Value database to conduct the map-reduce computation.
The main benefit of storing the results of the mappers and the reducers as the materialized views.
Please use examples to support your point of view.
