Defining a gap in quality

Defining a Gap in Quality: select and compare three healthcare providers. Identify and analyze an opportunity for quality improvement at one of the organizations by doing the following:

Find a problem:

    • Select an organization and review its overall/composite rating information.
    • Drill down into the categories of the composite rating for the organization, to determine the category(ies) needing the most improvement. Create a chart or graph to show your comparison.
    • Drill down into the lowest category(ies) and determine drivers underlying the category(ies)’s low score. Show graphically.
    • Compare the data related to the drivers identified, with data from two other organizations, as well as state and national data if available, to determine and quantify quality gap(s). Show graphically.
    • Pick one driver and research the issue using current literature

Write a 3-4 page* paper researching your problem:

    • Briefly explore background and significance: any relevant historical background, trends or the evolution of improvement interventions over time.
    • Identify root causes and primary factors affecting the issue.
    • Identify/benchmark evidence-based best-practices or interventions and results achieved.
    • Identify any regulatory and/or statutory performance standards or guidelines.
    • Include at least 3 citations in your research.
    • Graphs and tables can be included in an Appendix, but should not be part of the paper.

Compare and Contrast paper on pop psychology and one source of empirical research

Locate one source of pop psychology and one source of empirical research and compare and contrast the merit of the information in each as follows:

Pop psychology sources are newspapers, news magazines, tabloids, and other self-help articles found either online or on store shelves. Examples include articles by Dr. Phil, Dear Abby, Dr. Laura, Tony Robbins, etc. Articles in Psychology Today and WorldHealth.net are pop psychology and, although they may report on or refer to empirical research, they are not professional journal articles.

To prepare essay, you should think critically about the merit of the information in each article by asking the following questions about each: a.) What is the main issue, problem, or intention of the article? b.) In what way(s) does the article investigate various points of view and assumptions? c.) What evidence is provided to support the issue? d.) In what way(s) does the article discuss consequences and implications of the reasoning provided? e.) In what way(s) does the information provided help you make an informed decision about the purpose?

Now, focus on the answers to the above questions and compare and contrast the 2 sets of information.

Determine what your thesis is and state it clearly and concisely. It should briefly introduce your topic but more importantly should indicate that your purpose is to compare and contrast the merit of the pop psychology article with the merit of the empirical article. This will be the first sentence of your essay.

In the body of the essay, you may do a whole-to-whole comparison of the 2 sets of information or you may do a (less common) point-to-point comparison. For a whole-to-whole comparison, address the information about one of the articles by discussing its merit using the critical thinking concepts above, then, do the same for the second article. For point-by-point, you should address the first important point about one article then that same point about the other, discuss a second point about one then the other, and so on. You will want to be very thorough in the body as this is a very large percentage of your grade on the essay.

Your conclusion should summarize how the merit of the pop psychology article compares and contrasts with the merit of the empirical article, thus reaffirming your thesis without restating it. This is where you conclude with inferences, clearly address implications or consequences of accepting the given information, and culminate any assertions.

Formatting: 500 words / 2 pages. Use basic APA style guidelines such as 1” margins, 12 point Times New Roman font, double-spaced, and when citing your sources and listing your References.

Student replies

Throughout this course, many opportunities are available to post an initial response to a Discussion topic as well as to respond to your classmates’ responses. After you have completed the reading, and without reviewing your classmates’ responses, post your initial response to the following Discussion. Your post should be at least 300 words in length and should extend the discussion of the group supported by your course materials and/or other appropriate resources. After you have submitted your initial post, review some of your classmates’ posts and respond to at least two of your classmates. Refer to your Discussion Board Rubric for specific grading explanation.

here is the Discussion Topic

Imagine you are a brand new Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). You are setting up your private practice and designing your website. You want to include as much pertinent information about your education and training as you can, as well as the types of services you provide. You are also very nervous about somehow, unintentionally, violating a Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB) ethical guideline. It would be wise to re-familiarize yourself with the guidelines by reviewing the following resource:

Behavior Analyst Certification Board: Professional and Ethical Compliance Code for Behavior Analysts

Please respond to the following:

  • Discuss one important item from each of the following BACB ethical and professional requirements:
    • Maintaining competence in the ABA field
    • Maintaining client confidentiality – personally and in record keeping
    • Boundaries of competence
    • Multiple relationships and Conflicts of interest
    • Rights of the client
    • Advertising: Solicitation of Testimonials

With these guidelines in mind, discuss how you would handle the following situation:

The telephone rings. To your surprise, it is your cousin, who lives about 25 miles away. You have not seen her in 10 years, so you are surprised by this unexpected call. She states that your mom told her mom that you were setting up a private practice in ABA, and she could really use your help. Her 3-year-old was just diagnosed with Autism and she would love to have you over so you can give her some suggestions about how to handle some of the behaviors she has seen lately. Would you be free this Friday night for dinner?

  • What is your initial response to your cousin?
  • Identify specific ethical guidelines that relate to this situation.
  • Discuss possible repercussions if you decide to help your cousin.

you do not need to answer the questions but just do two student replies they will be uploaded into files.

Multimedia Law (News Stories about Media and the First Amendment)

you will submit a 150-200-word summary of a news story from any reputable state or national news source in print, on radio, on TV, or online. Use Times New Roman, 12-pt. type, double-spaced. The story will be about the intersection of media and the First Amendment in the United States—no stories from foreign countries. Not part of the 150-200 words will be a description of where you found this news item (N.Y. Times, CNN on TV, etc.), the title of the story, the date, and URL, if applicable. The story must appear in the news media during the week you will be submitting it. In addition to the summary of the story, I’m looking for any insights you might have on why this is an important case or issue and any implications for journalists, organizations, the media in general, corporations, etc.

Note that you must look for new stories in the last 6 days. You have to use your own ideas and sentences to complete it. you can not copy any sentences in the story. This is a very serious request, because this is an important course for me, if a copy of the situation, I will get 0 points, so need to check it. I will give you an example before you’re ready to write.

The United States Supreme Court powers are appropriate and essential

In the United States, the Supreme Court has the final say concerning any law or dispute in the land. The decisions by the U.S. Supreme Court may not be appealed and become the law of the land the instant the opinions are made public by publication of the document. No other branch of the government has the absolute final say on any issue, legal or otherwise.

Further, members of the Supreme Court are not elected by the public but rather are appointed for life by the President and Senate and cannot be removed by less than a 2/3 vote of the United States Congress.

For your discussion in this module, we will use the basic debate form. The proposition set forth is this: “The United States Supreme Court powers are appropriate and essential. No other legal form or entity could exist superior to our system.”
