Work #1:

Actual work where 2 students given their post on this:

Describe in 500 words the shared security responsibility model that a dba must be aware of  when moving to the cloud.

Use at least three sources. Use the Research Databases available from the Danforth Library not Google. Include at least 3 quotes from your sources enclosed in quotation marks and cited in-line by reference to your reference list.  Example: “words you copied” (citation) These quotes should be one full sentence not altered or paraphrased. Cite your sources using APA format. Use the quotes in your paragaphs.  Stand alone quotes will not count toward the 3 required quotes.

Copying without attribution or the use of spinbot or other word substitution software will result in a grade of 0. 

Write in essay format not in bulleted, numbered or other list format. 

Reply to two classmates’ posting in a paragraph of at least five sentences by asking questions, reflecting on your own experience, challenging assumptions, pointing out something new you learned, offering suggestions. These peer responses are not ‘attaboys’.   

It is important that you use your own words, that you cite your sources, that you comply with the instructions regarding length of your post and that you reply to two classmates in a substantive way (not ‘nice post’ or the like).  Your goal is to help your colleagues write better. Do not use spinbot or other word replacement software. It usually results in nonsense and is not a good way to learn anything. I will not spend a lot of my time trying to decipher nonsense. Proof read your work or have it edited. Find something interesting and/or relevant to your work to write about.

Assignment: Final Case Study

Throughout this course, you have examined and applied a wide variety of tools that may be used to enhance performance objectives for health care quality, efficiency, and cost in health services organizations. From day-to-day operations to strategic decision making and initiative planning, these tools serve various purposes in affording health care administration leaders with a variety of perspectives and mitigation strategies to enhance performance in health care delivery. Health services organizations must aim to not only deliver cost-effective and high-quality health care services but they also must operate efficiently to maximize the bottom line for business operations.

For this Assignment, you will conduct research about a hospital using the Hospital Compare data source for any large U.S. city. Find a hospital that you are interested in or familiar with for this Assignment. Then, select two similar hospitals for comparative analysis. Then, analyze the organization’s position within the local and regional health care system. Analyze the cost, quality, and access metrics of the organization. Reflect on the metrics that might be monitored by the different types of control charts on the Hospital Compare data source. Think about how you would proceed with conducting a complete quality assessment of the hospitals you selected.

The Assignment: (8–10 pages)

Provide a description of the Atlanta’s Grady Healty System, its geographic area, the population it serves, and the reason you selected it.

Provide a detailed comparison of this hospital with two other similar hospitals in the community as well as state / national rates. Be sure to address all of the following components:

Similarities / differences in hospitals

Surveys of Patients Experiences

Timely and Effective Care

Complications

Readmissions and Deaths

Use of Medical Imaging

Payment and Value of Care

Categorize each of the subcomponents as whether they are structure, process, or outcome oriented, and identify how / if they link to cost, quality, and access. Be specific in your categorization.

Explain whether there are there significant differences in the proportion of patients who gave the three hospitals a rating of 9 or 10. NOTE: You can find the number of respondents by clicking on the “View More Details” link on the Hospital Compare site. Conduct appropriate hypothesis testing for your comparison. How did your selected hospital perform in comparison to the others from a statistical point of view?

Identify three separate measures that should be monitored using variable control charts, attributes or failures control charts, and nonconformity control charts.

Provide your overall assessment of this hospital’s performance on cost, quality, and access measures. Be sure to reference your statistical results and analyses that assisted you in the development of your overall assessment.

By Day 7

Submit your Assignment.

For this assignment you will prepare a 10-12-slide PowerPoint presentation on teaching techniques for diverse learners.

Presentation Criteria:

For this discussion post,  take an IQ test found at http://www.iqtest.com (Links to an external site.). After taking the test,  write a discussion post and discuss whether you think the score you received is accurate of your intelligence level. Why, or why not? Note: some intelligence tests found on the Internet require a payment to receive the results of the test. Paying for the results is NOT a requirement for the assignment. 

You do not need to include your score you received in this discussion post if you desire not to. Only reflect on your results and if you feel it is accurate or not? What would be a better way to measure intelligence or should we not measure it?

Please submit a minimum of 250 words and cite your resources. Turnitin will be utilized.  Please make sure, you write your post in your own words.

If you do not cite your resources, you will not receive any points.
