1. All the parts of an effective activity plan are aligned with one another. Discuss what is meant by the concept of alignment and how it relates to the plans you write.

2. In what ways does brain development research document the influence of both nature and nurture on language development?

3. Think about the four theoretical perspectives of language development. Use your own experiences to reflect on which one(s) you think is most common in early childhood settings (this can be in the home, day care, preschool, etc). Explain why you think this is so.

4. Describe what it means to have empathy for others. Do you remember a time when a teacher said something to you in front of others that was critical or singled you out and did not encourage others to be empathetic towards you? Tell about this time and how it made you feel. How could the experience have been resolved in a more empathetic, positive way? What might the teacher have said or done differently that promoted empathy toward your situation?

INSTRUCTIONS:

Complete an EHR Scoring Guide Checklist (Excel spreadsheet) that analyzes two EHR systems for potential implementation in a 25-provider physician office.

To begin, use the attached checklist

At a minimum, your scoring guide checklist needs to provide at least 3 examples of all of the following:

• EHR Applications.
• Personal Health Record (PHR) Strategies.
  • What strategies does the EHR employ to ensure secure and efficient patient data-sharing among PHRs?
• HIE Strategies.
  • What strategies does the EHR employ to ensure secure and efficient patient data-sharing among HIEs?
• Optimization.
• Challenges.
• Requirements for Successful Implementation.
• Organizations That Set Standards for the EHR.
• Standards for the Electronic Health Record.
• Case Study Reference.

Notes:

• The scoring guide checklist for the first team has been completed for you as an example. Be sure to complete both remaining columns.
• This scoring guide checklist is a tool you may find useful in the workplace for organizations considering upgrading an existing EHR system or implementing a new one.

Case Studies

For Assessment 4, select two case studies that are different from the ones you selected for your previous assessments. This time, choose two case studies for analysis that use different EHRs in a physician office environment. Your work in this assessment focuses on issues surrounding how EHRs interact with patients, other health information systems, and others external to the health care organization.

Analyze your selected case study and then incorporate appropriate elements into your assessment. Remember: Choosing case studies that allow you to meet the assessment’s scoring guide criteria is your responsibility.

Feedback Given:

This was the verbal feedback given:

While you have attempted to complete the information for Team 2 and Team 3, the instructions for the assessment state to select different articles than that were previously used and to select articles which involve an HER in the physician office environment. The article on MedAllies was previously used and is about a HIE (not an EHR). This article was a good article of the identification of various standards but does not contain the information needed for an EHR. Please locate a different case study. While the article on the Urban Health Plan is a good article for Team3, the information is the assessment does not match the information in the article. Do you have the incorrect reference listed maybe?

Due Week 10 and worth 270 points

This essay will deal with the same topic that you chose for the personal and informative essays. In the personal essay, you identified a problem of significance. For the informative essay, you provided research and a balanced examination of that topic to your reader. In the stance essay you will explore ways to fix the problem and how your reader can relate to your position.

In this version, you will move from simply discussing the issue to developing an updated essay that takes a clear stance on one aspect of your topic. The goal of this essay is to learn how changing the purpose of the writing (from informative to more argumentative) impacts the content and potential audience. Further, it will help you understand the difference between writing to argue your perspective and writing to educate your audience. This knowledge will help you transition into persuasive writing (covered in ENG 215 – Research and Writing) and more advanced essays in your major courses.

You will take a position and present your perspective – alternatively put, your stance – on the issue you discuss. For instance, if you wrote an informative essay on water pollution levels in Flint, Michigan, then your stance essay could argue that the city must frequently test water throughout the state to avoid a similar issue. A second stance would be that government officials should be held accountable when they fail the people who elected them in the first place. These are only two of the many possible stances that you could take. As always, you should work with your professor if you have questions about your topic choice or essay direction.

How to assemble the essay:

1. Decide what part of the topic you want to take a stance on. This is best done by thinking carefully about the topic and considering what different people may want to argue for or against involving that issue. Think about what aspect of your previous paper you feel strongly about.
2. Write a new thesis statement that covers your paper’s topic and direction (what you want the reader to understand when the essay is completed).
3. Perform the research needed to meet the source requirements (minimum 3 additional sources). You may not use more than two of the provided sources in the webtext.
4. Make sure that no content from your informative paper is reused. You may use some of the same sources, but you will be writing a new paper, so you cannot reuse anything else.
5. Review the finished draft to make sure the ideas flow, each of the paragraphs supports the thesis statement found at the end of the introduction, and that your conclusion brings the essay to a strong sense of closure.
6. Finally, proofread the version you intend to turn in for grammatical, sentence structure, clarity, and word use errors.

The final version of the essay must:

• Be in essay form with an introduction, body, and conclusion
• Conclusion should explain why the essay’s main points are important
• Meet the page requirement of 5-6 pages (Title and References pages do not count)
• Address the same overall topic as your informative essay
• Take a clear stance on the issue in question and articulate your stance through a well-developed thesis statement (found at the end of the introduction)
• Support your thesis statement with developed analysis of your sources and how they connect to your topic
• Use a minimum of five (5) academically appropriate sources properly cited in APA format and represented on the References page

Assignment 3 Steps

• Assignment 3: Stance Essay: Due in Week 10
  • This assignment will be submitted in Blackboard, under Week 10, Assignment 3.

Option 1: Logical Data Modeling—Employee/Manager Relationships

You are modeling the relationship of employees and managers in your organization. One possibility is to show a unary or recursive relationship on the EMPLOYEE entity. How would you model the cardinality of the unary relationship to indicate that an employee has one manager and a manager may have many employees? Draw the model to show that an employee must have a manager. Now draw the model to show that a manager must have at least one employee. What happens if a manager has only one employee assigned, and then that employee is reassigned? Draw the relationship with cardinalities to indicate that a manager may have no employees.

Your organization asks you to create a data model for employees participating in projects. One employee can participate in many projects. One project can have many employees assigned. Your stakeholders want to know the role of each employee on a project. Address the following questions in your paper:

• Which type of entity will help you model this many-to-many relationship?
• Is it possible for a project to have no employees assigned, and how would you model that possibility?
• Is it possible for an employee to be unassigned to any project, and how would you model that possibility?

Deliver this modeling assignment in a 2- to 3-page paper that includes your models and your responses to the questions provided herein. The CSU-Global Library is a good place to find these sources.

Include a title page and reference page. Make sure your paper follows APA style according to the CSU-Global Guide to Writing and APA Requirements. Cite two to three scholarly articles or pertinent trade journal articles to support your choices of logical models. (You may not use Wikipedia for any CSU-Global assignment.) For this assignment, a credible source is defined as:

• A scholarly or peer-reviewed journal article
• A newspaper article
• A trade or industry journal article, publication, or website, including those from trade organizations

Option 2: Logical Data Modeling for a Communication System

You are modeling an emergency communication system used to contact teachers in case inclement weather emergencies cause delayed openings or closures of the school. You may reach teachers by phone and/or email. The school must have at least one means of contact (phone or email) for each teacher. Each teacher may have more than one of each contact type. Which type of entity would you use in conjunction with the TEACHER entity to model a teacher’s contact information?

You decide to model a CONTACT table with primary key of Teacher-ID and Contact-Info, which is the contact information itself. The school principal, a major stakeholder, tells you she wants to track the area code for each teacher’s phone number(s):

• Will your original modeling concept work? If not, how would you change the model to reflect the principal’s request?
• How many entities would you need to represent the unique attributes of telephone numbers and email addresses so that no entity contained null values?
• The principal reminds you that every teacher must have at least one phone number, but having an email address is not a requirement. Where would you reflect the phone number constraint in your model?

Deliver this modeling assignment as a 2- to 3-page paper that includes your models and your responses to the questions provided herein.
