Read the Following and Answer Questions

“In my experience consulting, I have seen several examples of organizations that incorporate the printing of paper reports, which replicate information that has been entered and is available with the electronic patient record. These reports are often reviewed, signed, and acted on instead of the electronic information. Despite the knowledge that the information contained in these reports was outdated the moment the report was printed and the very nature of using the report for workflow is an inefficient practice, this method of clinical workflow is prevalent in many hospitals across the United States. There is an underlying fear that drives the decision to mold a paper-based workflow around clinical technology. There is also a lack of the appropriate amount of integration that would otherwise allow this information to be available in an electronic form.”

How does workflow analysis help practicing nurses?

Can we mold paper-based workflows into clinical information systems? Explain your answer.

Imagine that you are the INS charged with implementing the use of electronic records. What strategies could you use to promote a seamless transition?

Please submit one APA formatted analysis consisting of 500 words, not including the title and reference page. The assignment should have a minimum of two scholarly sources, in addition to the textbook.

Assignment 1: Social Forces and Issues Shaping Curriculum Planning 

 

Due Week 4 and worth 300 points 

 

Research the student population and neighborhood demographics of your immediate area such as your county or city and the demographics of your state. Look at the most recent election results, especially for school board and elected state officials, and see what their opinions are about education. Especially note if your area is either aligned with your larger state or differs from your larger state.  

 

Student population description includes age, cultural diversity, family situation, academic achievement levels, and general attitudes toward school. Neighborhood refers to geographic setting, income levels, physical surroundings, and crime/safety challenges. Access demographic information from your district, city, county, and/or state Websites. Cite the URLs for this information in your paper.  

 

Assume you are leading a team of administrators, parents, students, and teachers to plan curricula that includes the grade and subject you have been using to answer your discussion questions. Determine the top five social forces that you want to address. Describe three key issues of each social force, recommend a method to address the issues, and discuss the benefits expected. You can apply your paper to just the one grade and subject or broaden it to a grade range such as K-2, 3-5, middle school, etc. Or, you can expand the grade range of your subject such as elementary science or middle school ELA.  

 

Write a 6-8 page paper in which you: 

 

1. Describe the demographics of your school district and compare them to the demographics of the county or city in which it resides. 
2. Compare your local demographics to your state demographics, including recent election results, and note any major education issues that came up during the most recent election.
3. Describe the top five social forces that you want to address through curriculum planning.
   1. Explain why you think these are the top five. 
   2. Explain why you think curriculum planning will help address these social forces. 
4. Describe three key issues for each social force.
   1. Recommend a method to address the issue. 
   2. Discuss the benefits expected.

 

Your assignment must: 

 

• Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions. 
• Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length. 
• Use references to support your claims, including quotes, facts, and illustrations from the articles in the text and at least three (3) other outside scholarly sources published in the two years. 

 

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are: 

 

• Analyze current and future curriculum leadership issues of K-12 schools and/or students. 
• Identify explicit expectations for high-quality education. 
• Use technology and information resources to research issues in curriculum policy and leadership. 
• Write clearly and concisely about curriculum policy and leadership using proper writing mechanics.

• Chapter 6 discusses the value of interdisciplinary studies in terms of curriculum planning and improvement. Search for the latest research on interdisciplinary studies and see if you can find articles or research studies on how schools and/or school districts have tried to implement this concept. 
  • Do you feel that interdisciplinary studies are practical in today’s schools, especially with the emphasis on state testing? 
  • Given your answer from last week, do you think that your subject and grade would be a good candidate to include in a new, interdisciplinary unit? Why or why not?  
  • Explain your reasoning to these two questions and post at least 1 article from the past 2 years that supports your answer. 
• Respond to at least one of your classmates.  
  • Determine at least 2 ways to overcome the issues that your classmate posted.  
  • Support your reasoning with at least one quality article from the past year.

Coaching Model”  Please respond to the following:

• Using an acronym, create your own coaching model, and define the meaning of each letter as it relates to performance management. Specify the primary reasons that you believe your model would be effective. Justify your response.
• Compare and contrast internal coaching versus external coaching overall. Suggest two (2) pros and two (2) cons of each coaching method. Provide a rationale for your response.

You’ve just left an all-hands meeting at your company*. The CEO was very upset at the rise of shadow IT projects – a major indicator that the company’s internal information system has failed to meet its needs.

 

Because the current information system is inadequate, inefficient, and outdated, the CEO is inviting everyone in the organization to propose a new operational, decision support, or enterprise information system to replace it. The executives have allocated $5 million to fund the most promising idea.

 

This is your chance to make a difference in the company (not to mention your own career). Write your proposal as a memo that the entire C-suite will review. Include at least these points, in your own words, to be persuasive:

 

1. Identify the main functions of your proposed information system and why they are important to the business.
2. Describe what types of data your information system will hold and how data quality will be ensured.
3. Explain how the old information system handles the functions you mentioned, the problems that occur, and why your information system will handle things better.
4. Offer evidence of feasibility: Show that similar information systems have been built successfully and that they save more money than they cost.

 

The executives are busy, so keep your memo to 1-4 pages and avoid any extraneous content.

 

*You may use a current or former employer, but do not disclose anything confidential. Or, you can pick another organization if you are familiar with their internal (not customer-facing) information systems. You can disguise the organization and populate it with famous names. Made-up companies are problematic because of the amount of detail and realism they require.

Consider your current institution (educational or work). Describe the environment and culture. Is this culture conducive to learning? Why or why not? Now list five positive characteristics about your present institution and discuss how those characteristics support success. Your initial post should demonstrate a reflection upon the meaning of institutional culture and its relevance to success.
