Locate-an-article-that-reports-on-the-quality-of-healthcare-services-Journal-discussion

/in /by

Locate an article that reports on the quality of healthcare services. The article must be sourced from the mass media and not from an academic or healthcare journal. The purpose of this assignment is to review information reported to the general public in a news source that does not exclusively cover healthcare issues. Weekly magazines, such as Time, Newsweek, US News and World Report, Forbes, Money, and Consumer Reports, and newspapers, such as the Wall Street Journaland the New York Times, would be appropriate choices. The article may give various examples of good or bad quality instead of covering just one episode of care. Your selected article must be a comprehensive review or assessment of some aspect of healthcare services. Summarize the article. Be certain to indicate the basis for the report, that is, whether it is the result of academic research, an independent investigation, or something else.

Answer the following questions.

  • Summarize what conditions, processes, or events are noted as good quality or poor quality healthcare in the article. What is your own assessment of these conditions, processes, or events? Explain.
  • Does the article assign responsibility to persons or processes for the problems or achievements it reports? Does it provide sufficient evidence for assigning responsibility? Explain your answers.
  • Assess the suggestions for healthcare quality improvement in the article.
    Explain your reaction to this article as a consumer of healthcare services. In answering this question, note how the article uses language and any persuasive techniques.
  • Explain your reaction to this article as a provider of healthcare services. Why is this reaction the same as or different from your reaction as a consumer?
  • Is the article fair in its reporting and assessing healthcare quality? Why or why not?

To support your work, cite your sources in your work and provide references for the citations in APA format. 300 words in length.

Assessment task 2 – Communication Blog

/in /by

Students are expected to engage with the unit material and each other in this task. Specifically, you will:

The
posts will be improved if they are illustrated with a variety of
communication media (e.g. written text, links to further information,
photographs, diagrams, audio, gifs, videos etc.).

You are to write five (5) posts (300 words [+/- 10%] for each post) on the following topics:

1)

You are required to use APA referencing in your assignments. Firstly,

briefly discuss the importance of appropriate research and referencing

(acknowledging sources/information). Then find three sources that you

can use in your first task, the essay: 1) a (credible) website; 2) a

journal article; and 3) a book (hard copy or online). Once you have

found these sources, create an APA reference list using these three

sources. Access the APA Reference Guide on the Moodle site to correctly format the reference list.

2)
Find an advertisement – for example, television, Facebook, newspaper –
and discuss the advertisement in terms of audience, message, noise and
context. You should have at least two information sources (references)
in your post. The inclusion of relevant journal articles is highly
recommended. Include a reference list of your sources at the end of your
post.

3) Find a business report online (either a written or
recorded report). Discuss the strengths and weaknesses of this report.
Include the link to your report with your post. You should have at least
two information sources (references) in your post. The inclusion of
relevant journal articles is highly recommended. Include a reference
list of your sources at the end of your post.

4) Cenere, Gill,
Lawson, and Lewis (2015, p. 45) argue that: “The use of jargon or
language can reveal organisational culture.” Discuss three examples of
jargon that relate to your area of study. You should have at least two
information sources (references) in your post. The inclusion of relevant
journal articles is highly recommended. Include a reference list of
your sources at the end of your post.

5) Provide a review of
your learning in this unit (e.g. reflect on what have you learned; can
you see improvements; what would you like to improve upon; were there
any challenges; what did you like or dislike; what would you do
differently next time?).

FORMAT AND STRUCTURE

  • Give your blog a title.
  • Have
    a title for each blog post. There is no specific format for you to
    follow other. Use whatever media you feel best informs your post (may
    include images, hyperlinks to other sources; one very brief quotation of
    30 words or less; diagrams; maps; historical data, etc.).
  • Use single line spacing in the written posts.
  • Use
    third person when discussing information from the lessons, textbook or
    other sources. You can use first person when discussing personal
    experiences or your personal reflections.
