Access to Healthcare
Im working on a Health & Medical exercise and need support.
Access to Healthcare
Community health centers provide primary health care services to more than 22 million people across the United States. Each health center provides for the unique needs of patients in its immediate community. Many of the patients that are seen at health centers represent uninsured or underinsured patients and/or those with limited access to healthcare. This assignment will help you identify service delivery needs and provide quality recommendations for improving access to healthcare.
Read the following case study from your textbook:
- Case 20: Big Brother is Watching: Utilizing Clinical Decision Support as a Tool to Limit Adverse Drug Events (ATTACHED)
Then, do the following:
- Conduct research on community health centers by reviewing the National Association of Community Health Centers website at About Our Health Centers – NACHC (http://www.nachc.org/about/about-our-health-centers/)
- Choose a geographic region or location and research the types of services delivered at the community health centers in that area.
- Describe the location including the demographics such as race and ethnicity, gender, socio-economic status, age, education level, morbidity and mortality statistics, and other common or relevant health statistics.
- Identify the other social services that are available to your selected community to strengthen and sustain the community health system in the location you have chosen.
- Identify and discuss the barriers to access to healthcare.
- Explain how healthcare providers can improve access to quality care and reach their target population.

RE: Discussion – Week 8-Initial Post
The use of process mapping provides opportunity to identify themes and highlight specific areas of performance improvement (NIH, 2018). Lean refers to an approach that identifies and removes waste in processes and improves efficiency and six sigma is a method used to reduce variation in processes by identifying the root cause of an issue (Murphree, Vath, & Daigle, 2011). In order for a process map to be effective, all individuals that are a part of the process, must partake in the process mapping session. This is essential in order to capture the true essence of the current state (Cookson, Read, Mukherjee, & Cooke, 2011). Both the current state and ideal states are mapped out in order to easily identify barriers and resources in order to achieve the desired process (NHSIII, 2010). The purpose of this discussion is to explain how using a process map can facilitate quality improvement and data collection efforts.
Process Mapping
One of the most effective process mapping tools is the lean model of value stream mapping. Value stream mapping is a visual map of each step within a specific process. For this writers course project, the quality improvement issue is lowering the NTSV cesarean section rate. The term NTSV stands for Nulliparous, Term, Singleton, Vertex, which represents first time mothers, at 37 weeks gestation or greater, carrying one baby, in a head down position (TJC, 2019). To begin, a committee was developed, composed of the OB/GYN department director, 5-OB/GYNs and a quality coordinator.
Patient accounts were pulled onto a special report requested using the hospitals EMR based off of NTSV criteria. Every account was reviewed and discussed by the NTSV committee on a monthly basis for six months. The overall consensus from the committee was that care was appropriate on an overwhelming majority of the cases. It was at this time, the committee decided to take a step back and reflect on the idea of how could the care be appropriate yet the hospital remained an outlier over many other hospitals, both nationally and on a state level. Further analysis, of the six months of data revealed two main trends. Majority of the NTSV patients that underwent cesarean sections was due to either failed inductions or labor management issues.
The committee decided to arrange a value stream mapping session. The results of the value stream mapping session revealed areas of waste such as scheduling practices, patient delays, and variation in the induction process. Additionally, dialogue and pain points identified revealed that the nursing staff were not adequately increasing Pitocin on labor patients due to staffing issues, physicians were not allowing proper time for effective augmentation/inductions and the schedule had very weak parameters for scheduling elective inductions, with little to no standardization. Next steps included revision of the scheduling guidelines and indications for scheduled inductions, and revision of the Pitocin policy. The scheduling practice was standardized for non-medical, elective inductions and patients were counseled that if they were to be late for their induction, they would forfeit their scheduled day/time until the following date.
The manager of Labor and Delivery requested additional staffing on the night shift to ensure proper labor management with Pitocin. In the long-term, the organization decided to implement a Laborist model on L&D which will go-live in the summer of 2020 and are currently developing an outpatient Foley induction protocol. The use of a value stream process map helped to improve quality by exposing key areas in a care delivery process were able to be identified and addressed in order to yield safe, and appropriate care (Abubakker, 2010). Most importantly, the VSM showed an obvious misalignment of practice to high-reliability principles and organizational mission, vision, and values.
Summary
Process mapping is a vital tool to help facilitate leaders and members of the healthcare team towards areas of improvement. It is imperative to involve all key members of the team in order to properly visualize a process in its current state. In addition to revealing areas of concern, this visualization tool also helps to prioritize initiatives and reinforce organizational standards. Frequent reassessment and adaptation to processes is necessary to continuously deliver safe, high-quality care.

Make a Gantt chart and a PERT chart about WBS.
Im working on a Computer Science exercise and need support.
At Bayside Financial, where you work as a project manager, you have been asked to conduct user training sessions for a new information system. You must develop a specific schedule for the tasks (the estimated task duration for each is shown in parentheses):
- First, confirm arrangements for the training facility you plan to use (3 days).
- After you have confirmed the training facility, two tasks can begin at the same time: you need to send an e-mail message to all department managers announcing the training sessions (1 day) and you can develop the training material (5 days).
- As soon as the training material is complete, you can work on two tasks at once: arrange to have copies of handout material printed (2 days) and develop a set of PowerPoint slides (5 days).
- When the PowerPoint slides are ready, you conduct a practice training session with the instructor who will assist you (2 days).
- Finally, when the practice session is over and the handout material is ready, you can conduct the user training sessions (4 days).
Tasks
- (5 pts) What is the correct total time?
- (35 pts) Create a Gantt chart that shows the WBS. (you may create your diagram in powerpoint or word)
- (15 pts) Analyze the fact situation carefully to determine which tasks are concurrent and which ones are dependent on other tasks.
- (35 pts) Create a PERT chart that shows the project. Use a format similar to Figure 3-18 on page 82. (you may create your diagram in powerpoint or word)
- (10 pts) What is the critical path for this project? How do you know?
If the chart is made in word or PPT, please also send me the word file and PPT file
Please do not directly copy the answers online.
you can refer to the chapter 3 in the book.
it’s a writing assignment
Im studying for my English class and dont understand how to answer this. Can you help me study?
There are two parts: (1) (800 words) The details of the story youll imitate and your focus for this week, as well as supplemental readings and due dates, are out laid below. You should expect to move between careful close reading of the stories, to drafting your own work, to reflection, and then back again. A quick note on imitation: your task for this assignment is not to re-produce or copy the writer, but rather to breakdown the reading so that you can understand the writers tools and techniques and apply these to your own original work. The key here is to look to the writer as a model and a guide: if youre stuck or unsure how to solve a problem in the draft, or struggling to apply a particular technique, the answer will lie in returning to the reading itself. This means you should expect to read and re-read consistently throughout the quarter and draft with the authors stories open next to you. Though I will offer guidance, it will be up to you to decide what the key rhetorical elements of the text are, how and why the author is using them, and how they are best applied to your work. Careful close reading is a foundational skill in this course and you will complete short exercises throughout this unit to help you practice and develop your facility with it. Finally, this assignment asks you to experiment, take risks, and push yourself outside of your comfort zone. This unit will be particularly fast paced, so the point here is not to produce perfectly polished work. Much more important is developing the skill of careful close reading for rhetoric and technique, pushing yourself as far as possible in your drafting process as you try out new tools and styles, and using reflection to understand your challenges and successes, and the importance of each authors tools as youve applied them to your own work. You will imitate Diazs story How to Date a Brown Girl, Black Girl, Whitegirl, or Halfie and will use a second person point of view to write a how to story using Diazs rhetorical tools and style, with a particular emphasis on point of view, vivid detail, and voice. (2) (200 words) You will also produce a short reflection for the draft explaining your rhetorical choices (a Letter of Introduction, or LOI). For each draft you complete this quarter you will write a Letter of Introduction (LOI) addressed to myself and your peers in which you will reflect on your drafting/revision process that week, and analyze the how and why of your close reading, drafting, and revision choices. This letter should be at least 200 words (including your revision questions, see below), and should use specific examples from the readings and your drafts to support the main ideas and claims you present about your work. In each, you should explore what you’ve learned from the reading that week; how it applied to your draft, your goals for drafting/revision that week and how you set about achieving; the challenges you faced in drafting/revision and why; and what you’re looking forward to addressing in the work ahead. Finally, you should include two specific revision questions at the end of your letter for your peers. These questions should point to specific aspects of your draft and focus on challenges you faced and/or questions that arose in the revision/drafting process. For example, you might ask about the rhetorical impact of a particular passage or whether the emotions you intended to convey with your detail selection are coming through. The more detailed and specific you can be in these questions, the better the feedback you’re likely to receive in peer review. The LOI provides an opportunity to practice and build toward your Portfolio Introduction and like all your reflections you complete this quarter will move you toward the goal of understanding and controlling your revision process. Look to be honest, detailed, and claim-driven in your reflections, and again, make sure to use concrete examples from your own work and the readings for support.
