Conduct a service area competitor analysis within your community. Keep it fairly small in scope (i.e. laser hair removal business, extended care facility for ventilator-dependant patients, etc.) so that it is manageable. Begin by introducing the macro issues (general and health care) and then use this outline as an initial guide:

  1. Specify the Service Category
  2. Delineate the Service Area. 
    1. General
    2. Economic
    3. Demographic
    4. Psychographic
    5. Health Status
  3. Perform a Service Area Structure Analysis 
    1. Threat of New Entrants
    2. Intensity of Rivalry
    3. Threat of Substitutes

Based on this module’s readings and your own independent research:

 

Develop a listing of what you believe are the most important metrics for operations managers. (Hint: Be sure to consider the triple bottom line.)

 

How does each metric support the overall financial performance of the organization? 

What data would be used to support this metric and how would you ensure that the data are of sufficient quality? 

How does data analytics support your metrics? 

Be sure to fully explain your rationale for selecting these metrics.

In a paper (750‐1,000 words), summarize your analysis of this exercise and discuss the overall value of learning styles. Include the following:

  1. Provide a summary of your learning style according the VARK questionnaire.
  2. Describe your preferred learning strategies. Compare your current preferred learning strategies to the identified strategies for your preferred learning style.
  3. Describe how individual learning styles affect the degree to which a learner can understand or perform educational activities. Discuss the importance of an educator identifying individual learning styles and preferences when working with learners.
  4. Discuss why understanding the learning styles of individuals participating in health promotion is important to achieving the desired outcome. How do learning styles ultimately affect the possibility for a behavioral change? How would different learning styles be accommodated in health promotion?

As a clinical social worker it is important to understand group typology in order to choose the appropriate group method for a specific population or problem. Each type of group has its own approach and purpose. Two of the more frequently used types of groups are task groups and intervention groups.

 

For this Assignment, review the “Cortez Multimedia” case study, and identify a target behavior or issue that needs to be ameliorated, decreased, or increased. In a 2 page report, complete the following:

  • Choose either a treatment group or task group as your intervention for Paula Cortez.
  • Identify the model of treatment group (i.e., support, education, teams, or treatment conferences).
  • Using the typologies described in the Toseland & Rivas (2017) piece, describe the characteristics of your group. For instance, if you choose a treatment group that is a support group, what would be the purpose, leadership, focus, bond, composition, and communication?
  • Include the advantages and disadvantages of using this type of group as an intervention.
  • Review ( Paula Cortez Case Study Link)

 After the age of 40, healthy hormones don’t function as efficiently as before and hypertension increases rapidly and due to this the rate of youthful hormones decreases. This leads to major hormonal imbalance which becomes the reason for your increased blood pressure. bp optimizer treats this hormonal imbalance and regulates your blood pressure level. This ensures that your blood pressure doesn’t shoot up again.

Assignment: Analyze Needs Analysis Case Study

 

Instructions

Needs assessment is typically the initial starting point for many ID projects. For this assignment, you will conduct a needs assessment based on a case study. Create a presentation to share your findings from analyzing the needs assessment presented in the Needs Analysis Case Study (located in Books and Resources). In your presentation, be sure to:

  • Identify the problems and issues within the case study using the guiding questions provided throughout the case.
  • Categorize each problem or issue as instructional or non-instructional. Remember that you are searching for instructional problems. However, not all problems are instructional in nature. Sometimes, the problem cannot be solved by the systematic design of instruction.
  • Suggest a potential solution to each instructional problem and issue you identified; note that case studies often do not have easy solutions and often there are no right or wrong answers. Your explanation of the answers to the questions and the potential solution is what constitutes the best answer.
  • Support your suggestions with information from this week’s resources or other credible sources.

Length: 8-10 slides, with 100- to 150-word explanation in the speaker notes section of each slide

References: minimum of 4 credible resources.

Incorporate appropriate narration, animations, transitions, and graphics as well as speaker notes for each slide. The speaker notes may be comprised of brief paragraphs or bulleted lists. Review the “Creating a Successful PowerPoint Presentation” document in the resources for additional assistance in completing this assignment.

Be sure to include citations for quotations and paraphrases with references in APA format and style where appropriate. Save the file as PPT with the correct course code information.
