How are the standards of care developed for a health services organization?

Healthcare policies and laws at the national level mandate how health services should be administered or delivered, however, each health services organization is subject to state, local, and corporate interests or needs that inform how health services are delivered for their patient population. As a current or future healthcare administration leader, your understanding of standards will drive many decisions and impact the strategic direction of your organization.

For this Assignment, research the standard of care that is determined for your state or country. Reflect on how this determination is made and consider whether setting the standard care in this method improves health outcomes for health services organizations. Think about how the development of a standard of care might contribute to the development of protocols, clinical practice guidelines, or policies and procedures in health services organizations.

The Assignment: (2–3 pages)

Analyze and describe how the standard of care is determined in your state or country.
Explain how these standards contribute to efforts aimed at improving health outcomes in your organization (nursing homes) through the development of protocols, clinical practice guidelines, policies and procedures.
Be sure to include support from the literature.

Explain what “association” (correlation) means in statistics. What are tests of association used for?

For this week you will be covering chapter 14 (Association) in the course text and chapter 10 in the SPSS workbook (Bivariate Correlation). For this assignment you will do two things:
1) Explain what “association” (correlation) means in statistics. What are tests of association used for? What do they tell us? Provide an example of a topic where you would like to study the association between variables.

2) Review the Output table on page 147 in the SPSS workbook (15th edition). What are the variables being looked at? Describe what was found between two different comparisons (associations) in the table (ex: variables A & B, and variables B & D). What does this tell you about the association between these different variables?

What improvements/changes do you think would be helpful for you to make regarding your writing processes?

First, you will write a response to two readings on revision. You should highlight the main points of the readings below:

Carol Berkenkotter, “Decisions and Revisions: The Planning Strategies of a Publishing Writer,” in WAW, pp. 830-846, and

Alcir Santos Neto, “Tug of War: The Writing Process of a Bilingual Writer and His Struggles,” in WAW, pp. 774-785.

You can use the ideas developed and the class discussion about writing process and decisions, but I do not want you to mainly restate your responses to questions presented in class. I am looking for a demonstration of your understanding of these readings.

You should include at least 300 words for this section.

For the second part, you will reflect on if/how your writing process changed after reading these two selections. You may want to answer the following questions, but you are free to discuss other aspects related to your revision process.

Did these readings change your attitudes about writing processes?

How did thinking and reading about writing processes influence Major Project 3?

What improvements/changes do you think would be helpful for you to make regarding your writing processes?

How can you incorporate a habit of awareness about your writing processes in the future?

Write an annotated bibliography that includes four scholarly sources and your primary source for a total of five sources.

Write an annotated bibliography that includes four scholarly sources and your primary source for a total of five sources. This annotated bibliography is to include a Thesis statement about your “research paper” at the top. Note: there is no longer a research paper due. I will give you topics for this annotated bibliography assignment. An annotated bibliography is essentially what you would use as a works cited for your paper AND is asked of you for research papers in advance. It is usually included in your outlines for research papers. In this case, we are not actually providing the paper, yet a document that dually serves as a works cited and an outline.
Each annotation must include information about the source (such as purpose, audience and genre), a summary of the source’s contents, and your own evaluation of that source for your research purposes. An annotation is a summary and/or evaluation. Therefore, an annotated bibliography includes a summary and/or evaluation of each of the sources. Each annotation should answer the following: 1. It should be indicated if it is the primary source of your essay. If it is not your primary source, then there is not a need to indicate that it is your secondary source. 2. You should summarize the source in 5-7 sentences. What is the genre of the source? Is it a nonfiction essay, historical fiction, statistical research, a sociology article? What are the main arguments? What is the point of this book or article? What topics are covered? If someone asked what this article/book is about, what would you say? The length of your annotations will determine how detailed your summary is. What part of the primary source are you investigating for your paper? 3. Assess whether or not this article is helpful for your paper. If it is not, then trash it. If you find it turns out that this was not a reliable resource, then trash it. Find another source. Think of how it compares to the other sources you used for your paper. For further tips on assessing whether a source is useful to your paper, please use the following link: https://owl.english.purdue. edu/owl/resource/553/03/ 4. Indicate how the source is used to write your paper. If it is the primary source, indicate which aspect of the source you are researching. Example: If you are using Attwood’s The Female Body as a means to discuss sex trafficking in modern society, then explain that this is the particular aspect of the piece that you are investigating. 5. If it is a secondary source, elaborate on how it helps establish prove your thesis. For example, if you are writing about Environmental Racism, and your article has statistics of brain hemorrhages, cancer, or tumor due to lead in the water, then state you used the article for statistical evidence. Indicate how it supports your thesis. Finally, please note that this assignment has a maximum as well as a minimum length; your bibliography must express all necessary information concisely, in such a way that it does not exceed the maximum length. Each annotation should not be longer than three paragraphs (5-7sentences each)
