There are two assignments that have to be done

End of chapter case ( p91)

This case is about the change initiative at Kempinski Hotels as the company prepared for dramatic expansion while endeavoring to adhere to its core values. The company was able to successfully navigate this change process by clearly explicating the corporate values and integrate those values throughout all of its properties and across all levels of work. The key was top management providing the necessary resources and support in order to implement the desired culture in the ever-expanding organization. By listening to the staff and sharing stories of how the culture was imparted through employees into customer experiences, the cultural shift was successful and enduring.

ase One:

As the new benefits manager at Riley Industries, you have decided to implement a high deductible health plan (HDHP) for the employees. You have heard that HDHPS has many benefits, such as substantial cost savings resulting from employees taking charge of their health. You have also heard there are disadvantages. How should you educate the employees of Riley Industries on HDHPS? What if the employees want to keep their previous insurance plans instead? Discuss the other advantages of HDHPS to both the employer and the employees, including how employees are able to promote better health through these plans. Name some other disadvantages of the plans, including the inability to save for possible deductibles costs. What is your opinion on companies moving toward HDHPS?

Case Two:

You are the CEO of kind heart hospital, which is located in a low-income area and has spent millions of dollars over the years on charity care patients. Unfortunately, this has placed your hospital in a tough financial position, because Medicare and Medicaid continue to reduce reimbursements for their patients and your percentage of commercial insurance patients (or patients who pay more than your cost) continues to decline. Discuss what you can do to continue to provide care to the needy but reduce the amount of the loss. Will national reform laws help your reimbursement or hurt it?

Research Evaluation

For this Assignment, you are to critically evaluate the quality of a single subject research study using the information provided in your reading for this week. Select a single subject research study from the Kaplan Library on a topic of interest to you. See attached pdf  “512 assignment 7”

References

Fry, J., Botterill, W., & Pring, T. (2009). The effect of an intensive group therapy program for young adults who stutter: a single subject study. International Journal Of Speech-Language Pathology, 11(1), 12-19.

Be sure it is not the same study that you used in any of the Discussions in this class, and be sure it was published in the past 10 years. First, briefly summarize the study for the class (subjects, method, results, conclusions, etc.). Then, using the Horner et al. (2005) article, provide a detailed discussion of whether or not the study meets each element of all seven criteria given for a quality single subject research study. Use Table 1 on p. 174 of the Horner et al. (2005) article to organize your paper. Discuss one element at a time: there are seven major headings and 21 bullet points in Table 1, so your paper should have seven section headings, with each section containing the same number of paragraphs as there are bullet points for that section in Table 1.

In your paper, be sure to provide a clear determination of the following:

1.  The full-text citation to your article.

2.  A discussion of all the criteria of a quality single subject study that were described in the article from your reading this week and whether or not your study meets these criteria.

3.  Provide a clear rationale as to why the study meets quality standards for each of the criteria listed above, with sufficient references and citations to the text to support your assertions.

Be sure to use APA style throughout, with a minimum of 3-5 pages in total.

The paper should:

·  Follow Assignment directions (review grading rubric for best results).

·  Use correct APA formatting per the APA Publication Manual, 6th Edition.

·  Demonstrate college-level communication through the composition of original materials in Standard American English.

·  Be written in Standard American English and be clear, specific, and error-free. If needed, be sure to use the Kaplan University Writing Center for help.

Assignment

Cultural competence is an important value in many aspects of ABA, including functional behavioral assessments. For the Unit 7 Assignment, you will evaluate and analyze a case study. The case study will provide you with information gained from a week of continuous recording. In the case study presentation you will see a specific client, but you are required to create your own hypothetical client with a specific cultural or linguistic identity, age, gender, and other relevant details. So, even though you see a girl in the case study, you can create a boy or an older person, for examples. Make sure you describe the cultural, linguistic, gender, age and other details explicitly.

For your hypothetical client, you will watch the case study provided, observe and quantify the problem behaviors, interpret the data, and create a descriptive functional behavioral assessment (see figure 24.2 for reference). Even though you have created your own client, use the data from the case study. Also, create a visual display of the data (see figure 24.1 for reference). Then, identify an appropriate target behavior and select an intervention. Be sure to discuss behaviors using observable, measurable terms. Evaluate the data in at least two peer-reviewed research studies, cite them, and use that evaluation to support your strategy. Discuss your culturally or linguistically diverse client and how his/her culture might affect the perception of his/her behavior. Last, discuss how diverse family systems affect the planning, execution, and results of interventions.

Your Assignment should be typed in a Word document, double-spaced in 12 point Times New Roman font, meeting the length requirements (6-8 pages) for your work (not including the title page and reference page).

Your Assignment must be your original work. Make sure to correctly cite all sources used in your Assignment in proper APA format. If you need help with APA citations, see the APA Quick Reference Guide in Course Home or visit the Writing Center. You must credit authors when you:

  1. Summarize a concept, theory or research
  2. Use direct quotes from the text or articles

Plagiarism is not tolerated in this class.
