Unit 4 Assignment Instructions

Imagine that you have been appointed as director of clinical decision support at a healthcare delivery system. This healthcare system consists of several large hospitals and multiple outpatient clinics and uses the same EHR system across the enterprise.

There has been limited CDS activity at the institution prior to your arrival. Now, with Meaningful Use and the increasing need to provide increased care value, the appropriate use of CDS is an institutional priority. The current CDS available at your institution consists primarily of off-the-shelf drug interaction and drug–allergy alerting, which is the source of significant clinician complaints due to the rate of false-positive alerts.

There is a strong sense within the institution’s administration that IT in general and CDS specifically should be leveraged to improve care value and to enable the institution to influence its clinical practice patterns more systematically and more rapidly. You have a reasonable budget and adequate staff to make meaningful changes. You also have support from key institutional stakeholders, including healthcare system executives, the nursing informatics officer, and the chief medical informatics officer. You have been asked to devise a strategic plan for CDS at your institution within 3 months of your arrival and to have concrete “wins” within.

In your response, please include the following information:

  • Describe the approaches you would use to ensure that all aspects of patient care were considered when developing a CDS system. How would you prioritize the efforts of your CDS team?
  • Potential areas on which to focus include areas in which payment rates are tied to national quality measures, CDS interventions that meet Meaningful Use requirements, readmissions for congestive heart failure and other care events for which payers increasingly are not reimbursing, and areas that have been identified as institutional priorities for clinical improvement.

Requirements

  • Your paper should be 4–5 pages in length.
  • You should include at least three peer-reviewed sources (your text may be one).
  • Your paper should be in APA format.

to answer these 10 questions for both (AMERICAN KESTEREL) as an animal and same 10 questions for (SAWEET GUM) as a plant complete and short answer.and the source as what he asked. just write the number of the question and the answer.

1. What is the scientific name of your plant or animal?

2. To which family does it belong? Use the technical name that ends dae in-idae or -aceae.

4.Where would you expect to find one of your species? In other words, what habitat?

5. Did you find other common names for your species? What are they?

8. What is an evolutionary adaptation of your species that helps it survive?

9. Give another interesting fact that you learned about your species.

10. Name the kingdom to which your species belongs. For the animal (not the plant), give also the name of the order to which it belongs.

List below three BOOKS you used to get your answers. You may use the intemet, but you still must cite three books. For the BOOKS, give the title, author(s), year published, city where published, call number, and page(s) where you found some answers..

Written Article

Written Article

400-500 words

At least 3 academic articles

In-text citations and reference section (CSE style)

Clearly define the question you are answering

Clear explanations of relevant biological principles, include data where applicable

Well organized- use paragraphs! Have an introduction, middle section where you use relevant details to answer the question, and then a concluding paragraph.

Citing your sources correctly – and avoiding plagiarism

Summary – Write a summary using your own words of the ideas or the text you want to use. Be original without using the words of the original work and be sure you cite the source for the information

Paraphrase – is similar to a summary. It just means taking what you have read and rewriting it in your own words. You must cite the paraphrase.

Use “direct quotes” only where absolutely necessary.

NOTE:  If there is evidence of plagiarism in your written article, you will receive zero for the assignment AND you will be reported to the Academic Integrity Committee

Using ‘in-text’ citations

Name-Year (N-Y) System in CSE

Be sure that every in-text citation has a corresponding entry in the reference list.

In-text citations (also known as parenthetical references) include the author’s last name and year of the reference without a comma, e.g., (Smith 2011).

If there is no author, include the first word(s) of the title (enough to identify the source) followed by an ellipsis (…), e.g., (Biological research … 2007)

For two authors, list both last names in the in-text citation separated by “and” (NOT an ampersand “&”), e.g., (Haggarty and Gaynor 2008)

For more than two authors, list the first author’s last name followed by “et al.” and the year, e.g., (Coyne et al. 2001)

Respond to one (1) of the following three topics with a “primary post” of at least 125 words. Also, please reply to a fellow student on any topic..

  • (1) Pacific Lampreys. Watch the video on Pacific Lampreys (U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, 2012). Please address the following three questions: (a) where do Pacific lampreys fall in the taxonomy of vertebrates? (b) what challenges do Pacific lamprey populations face? (c) why are Native American tribes of the Northwest concerned about them? (Please note: take care not to confuse the Pacific lamprey (described in the video) with the Sea Lamprey, which is a completely different species that is considered an invasive species in the Great Lakes).
  • (2) Population Distribution of Termites in a Savanna. Watch the video describing Corina Tarnita’s research on the spacing of termite mounds in savanna ecosystems (HHMI Biointeractive, 2015). The address the following questions: (a) What were Tarnita’s findings about the spacing of termite mounds? (b) What does Tarnita think is the main factor that governs the spatial distribution of the termite mounds? (c) How do the termite mounds benefit other organisms on the savanna?
  • (3) Supporting the Energy Needs of a Large Brain. Read the article by Zimmer (2011). Brain tissue is energetically expensive. For a species to evolve a large brain, it may need to make certain adjustments to ensure that enough energy is available to support brain function. Zimmer (2011) discusses some different adjustments in the human line of descent that may have enabled us to evolve larger brain. Explain one of these adjustments.
