Develop a Set of Recommendations

Can you help me understand this Management question?

You have just been hired as a healthcare administrator for a healthcare facility working to improve its quality standing. As you settle into your new role, one of the first tasks you are charged with is to lead the quality assurance and continuous improvement effort aimed at addressing fall-related incidents in your facility (you can review the Week 1 assignment for guidance). At this juncture, the quality improvement team is working on identifying meaningful measures for data collection and monitoring over time. As the quality team prepares to meet and deliberate on the choice of these meaningful performance measures, you decide to write a memo to the quality team with recommendations for factors they need to consider when choosing and prioritizing these measures.

Write a memo detailing your point and rationale. At the minimum, ensure your memo addresses/considers the following:

  1. Your organization’s strategic plan.
  2. The need for a holistic set of measures that includes measures from the structures, processes, and outcomes.
  3. Stakeholders’ interest.
  4. Compliance and accreditation.

Length: 1-2 pages (excluding title and reference page)

References: Include a minimum of 2-3 peer-reviewed, scholarly resources.

Your assignment should reflect scholarly academic writing, current APA standards, and adhere to University’s Academic Integrity Policy.

Write 1000-1200 words in response to the following prompt about culture. turn on before 1/14

I’m trying to learn for my Psychology class and I’m stuck. Can you help?

Write 1000-1200 words in response to the following prompt. Write your essay using your favorite word processor, (save your work on your own computer and/or cloud service), and then submit your document in the “Initial essay about culture” Your document MUST be MS Word format, and you should save a backup copy of your work on your own computer. There is no right or wrong answer, the only wrong answer is if you do not follow the directions or answer the questions coherently.


Please submit only your own original words. You do not need to look up anything in any books or online, because there are no wrong answers, we are looking for your opinions and thoughts about these questions. You should be able to check your essays “originality” yourself. Again, for this essay it is not necessary to use outside sources, but if you do use an outside source (by quoting it or paraphrasing it), please cite it somehow – we are not picky about how you cite it, just cite it so the reader would be able to find this source on their own.

You will be graded on clearly answering each part of the prompt below (1 through 3 and A through E):

1. Define what *you* think “culture” is in one paragraph. There is no correct answer, so please do not use any definitions that you find online, just discuss what you think about this word.

2. In the next paragraph, describe some aspects about your culture, including how the circumstances of where you grew up, your family, school, identities, and wider society have shaped your culture. Specific examples and details will make this section stronger. ?i’m chinese female, so make it chinese culture, talk about tea, or Kongzi or some stuff, btw I play Pingpong ball so write some details about that?

3. Next, write about an encounter with cultural difference (this could range from interacting with a neighbor from a different ethnic group or a different religion than yours to traveling or living in a different country). Specific examples and details will make this section stronger.

A. Describe that encounter and what made it intercultural, and how you initially felt about the encounter and why. Was there anything about the encounter that made you uncomfortable and why (or why not)?

B. Describe any challenges you had communicating or understanding the other person, or if no challenges, why not.

C. Describe an assumption you held about them or vice versa.

D. Describe how you felt after the encounter and why.

E. Finally, based on your experience, describe one factor or characteristic that promotes a successful or rewarding intercultural encounter (maybe it was something you did, or something you realize you should have or should have not done). What did you learn from this intercultural encounter that might help you navigate a similar encounter in the future?

English questions – journal

I don’t know how to handle this English question and need guidance.

Brainstorm ideas for your cover letter and resume. What can you do to make your cover letter stand out? What are the expectations of your chosen job opportunity? What experiences do you bring to the job that are unique?

———————————————————————————–

Notes for reference:

Cover letters are included with resumes in order to expand on some of the information contained in your resume. Your cover letter should attempt to address why you are the best choice for the job. Your cover letter is typically no more than 1 single-spaced page. It must include the following:

  • Heading: Include the date, your address, the address of the organization to which you are applying. You may also use letterhead.
  • Salutation: Address the letter to a person if you can and avoid “To Whom it May Concern.” You can say “Dear Name,” or, if you cannot find a name, you can use the job title of the person to whom you are writing.
  • Opening: Introduce yourself and say why you are applying for the job. You can also discuss how you found the job and express your enthusiasm for the position.
  • Body: Discuss the particular experiences and skills that you have that apply to this particular job. It is best to leave out irrelevant information in the cover letter. Talk about how your particular abilities will fit with the organization to which you are applying. Always use the “you” attitude, which is focused on what you can do for them, not on what they can do for you. Your body section can be more than one paragraph.
  • Closing: Reaffirm that you are enthusiastic about the job and tell your reader how to contact you.
  • Signature: Make sure to sign it with something like “Sincerely” or “Regards.”

Tips for Cover Letters:

  • Research the organization for which you are applying and tailor the letter to that job. Do not use the same letter for every job you apply for.
  • Adopt a tone of confidence without sounding like you are bragging. This can be very challenging and can feel uncomfortable at first.
  • Don’t go over one page, unless it is the convention for your discipline

——————————————————————————————————–

Creating your resume is pretty straightforward. You can find templates online. You resume should follow guidelines for your discipline. Most resumes should be no longer than a page, and, as you gain experience, should not include materials from before college. Your resume should contain the following:

  • Heading: Include your name, address, and other contact information.
  • Education information: include degree information, such as what schools you have attended (high school is not necessary), major/minor, expected graduation date, any honors, and, possibly, your GPA.
  • Job Experience: include all relevant job experience. You may include other jobs if it shows a commitment to work. List them in reverse chronological order. Include the dates you worked at each job
  • Other experience: include any other experiences you have, such as volunteer experience or internship experience.
  • Skills: include the skills you have that are applicable to the job.
  • Hobbies: include any hobbies
  • Any other relevant information: include any other information that is relevant to the job.

Tips for a Good Resume:

  • Avoid gimmicks like pictures or weird document design.
  • You don’t need an objective. It is clear your objective is to get the job for which you are applying.
  • Don’t include your GPA if it is low.
  • Use good document design. I recommend looking at resumes online to find good examples. Make sure your document design is consistent.
  • You do not need to include references or the statement “references available on request”

world cultures discussion

I’m trying to learn for my History class and I’m stuck. Can you help?

Each week you will be given three or four questions pertaining to important topics covered in the materials provided in the question itself, the textbook, the lectures, the other materials provided, and my comments in my Live Session. You choose the one you like and post a response of 125 words or more. You also need to respond to another post from one of your fellow students. This second post should be at least 60 or so words long and should not just agree with or repeat what has been said.

Please always use an example that has not already been used in the discussion.

  • What makes Baroque art “baroque”? Identify 3 important defining aspects of Baroque painting and sculpture. Using one artist and one specific piece of artwork from Italy and one artist and one specific piece of artwork from the Low Countries, France, England, or Germany, explain these defining aspects of Baroque art. Do not use an example that has already been used. Compare and contrast the two artists and their work. Did their locations have an impact on their work? Who were their clients? What stories were they trying to tell with their art? Focus on the years 1550 to 1660.
  • One of the biggest changes we see in the world between 1550 and 1660 is the decline of religion as the source of authority and the rise of science to take its place. We often refer to this change as the Scientific Revolution and the Scientific Method developed during this period. What is the Scientific Method? Explain the contribution of two people who helped to create the Scientific Revolution. Does religion still have a role in our world today? How do we resolve issues when religion and science come into conflict? How did they resolve these issues in 1600?
  • Music between 1600 and 1660 underwent profound changes at the hands of the four great Italian composers your book cites, Gabrieli, Monteverdi, Corelli, and Vivaldi. Musical performances had to be experienced live and we see a steady increase in the use of more and different instruments. This changed the music and performances became larger and more complex. By the end, they are multi-media events with moving stage sets and casts of hundreds. Using the work of the four Italian composers above and of J.S. Bach as examples, explain how music changed between 1550 and 1660.
  • Europeans were exploring every corner of the globe that their ships could get them to between 1550 and 1660. How did this change the European economy and how Europeans saw the world and their place in it? What did their explorations mean for the people whom they encountered?
