DISCUSSES THE USE OF ALTERNATIVE TOBACCO PRODUCTS AMONGEST THE YOUTH IN ARGENTINA

DISCUSSES THE USE OF ALTERNATIVE TOBACCO PRODUCTS AMONGEST THE YOUTH IN ARGENTINA

Respond to the fellow students’ posts in a substantive manner. Some ways to do this include the following, though you may choose a different approach, providing your response is substantive:

Agree or disagree with your classmate’s position. Defend your position by using information from the week’s readings or examples from current events.

 

  1. When it comes to research within that of business, science and beyond, there are many techniques and tools used to accurately depict certain facets of data as well as the specific idea of what Is studied and why. We see that measurement scales help depict the types and quantifiable nature of data in regards to numerical specific information. With this post we were asked to find an article utilizing the scholarly research method that helps depict the use of this information. I will discuss this topic further and introduce the article I have chosen.

(Here is my article in APA format)

 

“Corporate communications [electronic resource] : an international journal.

Volume 12, \ Number 4, Corporate and organizational marketing. (2007). Retrieved September 26, 2014, from Ashford University Library E book Collection (aul.10211634).”

This article is used to help depict the communication processes and techniques used in corporate. We see that as a globalized society these methods are critical and they are ever changing based on the technology that is also ever changing. When companies use specific tools, we see there’s a concise process for measuring these events as well as the effectiveness of such tools within. The research process is the same in that a very specific list and concise data must be depicted. Within this article we see that measurement scales were used to show how corporate communication is measured within that of its use and the processes of cost versus monetary purposes. Within this we see that the telecommunication services that companies use are dramatically changing. We se that through statistical data, the way this service works is going down in price as well an increase in reliability. The data in this, which was my cause for choosing this article shows the spread of use across the gambit of business and society alike. We see that through Internet and beyond, 70 percent of the world has access to Internet and companies in the corporate paradigm are helping spread this ability for people to connect with each other and even the companies promoting this societal advantage. A simple way to look at this is by seeing how quantifiable data is within the realm of business, science and all the objectives in between. When it comes to understanding this we see this article discusses the survey technique to get an idea from the internal and external stimuli affecting business. Companies who sell communication and use it are often inundated with this method to show effectiveness of tools. When it comes to corporate communication, this idea is one in the same. We see that this type of data is critical in showing specific data rather than words on a piece of paper.

How do existing Joint Commission guidelines impact facilities that are not accredited by the Commission?

THE ROLE OF THE JOINT COMMISSION IN ACCREDITING MEDICAL FACILITIES

roject: Joint Commission Visit

 

Unit outcome(s) addressed in this Assignment:

  • Evaluate reasons for sound corporate compliance and penalties for failure to comply
  • Compare and contrast abuse and fraud in the health care settings

Instructions

This course is dedicated to educating you, the student, about compliance with quality standards. It is important to understand that compliance extends to every phone call, computer entry, claim submission, patient contact, visit, provider interaction, nursing care, and so on. For this Project, you will prepare a report about the role of the Joint Commission (JC).

To begin, please visit the organization’s website:

Source: The Joint Commission: The Joint Commission. Retrieved fromhttp://www.jointcommission.org/

Additional research will be necessary.

 

Part I

  • Write an essay discussing the following:
  • The role of the Joint Commission in accrediting medical facilities
  • Which facilities can be accredited?
  • What are the goals of the Commission?
  • How do existing Joint Commission guidelines impact facilities that are not accredited by the Commission?
  • What does it mean to a facility to be accredited by the Joint Commission?
  • Is it mandatory for organizations to be accredited by the Joint Commission? If not, what impact does not having such accreditation mean in terms of reimbursement?

Part II

  • Create a memorandum where:
  • You are the administrator of the health information department for a medium-sized facility. You have just been informed by the compliance officer that the Joint Commission will be visiting your facility and will be focusing on your department.
  • Begin the memorandum by including information you believe will be important for your personnel to know to prepare for the visit.
  • Then, anticipate possible questions that the Commission might have for you in terms of compliance.
  • How will you and your department respond to these questions? How will you manage any negative findings during the visit?
  • Finally, discuss how current noncompliance findings can be avoided in the future in this memorandum.

Requirements

  • Complete both part of the Assignment as follows:
  • Part I should cover 4–5 pages excluding the title page and reference page
  • Part II should cover 3 pages excluding the title page and reference page
  • Use the Joint Commission website as one source and at least two other sources for your topic — a minimum of three references total.
  • All formatting and references should use APA style.

What are the eligibility requirements and coverage of Medicaid for the categories of low-income adults, pregnant women, and the aging/blind/disabled in the state where you live?.

.DEBATE THE EFFICACIES OF PUBLIC VERSUS PRIVATE-BASED QUALITY INITIATIVES. WHAT ROLES DO EACH PLAY IN THE QUALITY OF U.S. HEALTH CARE?

I have 4 questions to be answered. This does not require any writing format. all 4 questions can be combined into 3 pages, and any sources used should be cited. This is a nursing program, but the class is healthcare finance and ethics so answers should be geared towards healthcare.

1.Debate the efficacies of public versus private-based quality initiatives. What roles do each play in the quality of U.S. health care? How would the elimination of one aspect affect the other?

2. After reading the Kaiser Family Foundation summary on the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, state why or why not you believe the act should remain in law, or which pieces should be reversed. Then describe two pieces of the act that you were unaware was part of the act and how that may affect you as a citizen.

3. What are the eligibility requirements and coverage of Medicaid for the categories of low-income adults, pregnant women, and the aging/blind/disabled in the state where you live?. (Use Georgia) Do you consider the eligibility requirements reasonable or restrictive? Do you consider the coverage reasonable or liberal? What are the benefits and drawbacks to keeping these populations insured through Medicaid? Consider both direct and indirect factors.

4. Review the CMS.gov 30-Day Mortality and Readmission Data website. Review at least two local hospitals (Any can be used) and see how they compare to state and national benchmarks. How and why may a consumer or a health care professional use this data to make decision about their next hospitalization? Will reporting this data have an impact on hospitals bottom line in addition to financial penalties from CMS? Give at least two examples of how this data may be used and what type of impact if may have if at all on the hospitals.

I did input 8 sources because it only allows the input of numbers, but I would require at least 1-2 sources per question. Please let me know ASAP if this can be done and what more information is needed.
These are just discussion questions, but sources used should be cited.

Assignment description and instructions

A nursing phenomenon of interest (POI) can be defined as any factor that influences health status and is relevant to nursing. These phenomena relate to all the different aspects of human behavior and functioning; the phenomena can relate to an individual patient, the family unit, the community, or an entire population. The student should consider their own area of expertise and practice when selecting a POI; the selected phenomena should come from an observed practice “problem” that has importance to the student.

Within this assignment you will identify a POI that has significance to your area of practice. You will explain why you think this POI is significant- this section of the paper should be supported with peer reviewed evidence from the literature available on the subject. The evidence should be current-no older than 5-7 years at most.

Next, you will discuss your basic philosophic approach to your life and work. Please refer to the Keynote and Resources provided earlier in this Unit for further details on what type of information will be expected in this section of the assignment. Please provide discussion detailing how your philosophic viewpoint impacts how you view the chosen POI and how it impacts the way you search for the “truth” about this issue.

Finally, you will discuss the opposing philosophical viewpoint as it relates to your practice and your POI. If your viewpoint is primarily Analytical, you will discuss the merits of Continental philosophy; if your primary viewpoint is Continental, you will discuss the merits of an Analytical viewpoint.

This assignment is a scholarly paper and should be written in a formal style. The length of this assignment should be no more than 6 pages excluding the title page and Reference list. All submissions should be submitted to the Assignment section in PDF format. Each assignment must be submitted to Turnitin.com, a copy of the Turnitin report should be merged with your paper prior to submission. Please see the Turnitin directions in the Course Home section of the Lessons if you have any questions about this procedure.

A copy of the grading rubric is provided for you below. It is highly recommended that you organize your paper based on the grading rubric criteria detailed below; the use of headings based on the grading rubric criteria is also strongly recommended.
