As you review the chapter, identify key concepts and apply those concepts to a company. You may use an organization that you work for or choose a public company that you are familiar with. The total assignment should be about a page, double spaced, although you are welcome to write more if you wish. Grading is based on primarily on completion, unless it becomes obvious that a submission did not take meaningful thought or is not complete.

For this assignment, write your responses to each question as one narrative rather than separating your responses by question number. Include an introduction and a conclusion. Submit your answers using APA format, well-written sentences, and detailed explanations. Your analysis must be scientifically sound, necessary, and sufficient. Paper must be a minimum of 8 pages, plus references and title page.

Instructions
You have been appointed as lead project manager for the implementation of a new EHR system in
a large multi- campus hospital system. The CEO and Board of Directors have asked you to provide
information regarding the methods by which you will ensure successful adoption of the new
information system. Please follow the instructions below in completion of this assignment.

PART ONE:Discuss the relationship between health care regulation compliance and quality management.
Demonstrate the quality management tools that could be used as process control techniques to support
compliance efforts. Select two (2) quality management tools (e.g., control charts, Pareto charts,
fishbone diagrams). Provide a visual example for each tool selected, and, in an executive summary for
the CEO and Board of Directors, describe how each tool can be used to inform internal policies,
processes, and organizational structure decision making.

PART TWO:Develop a plan to measure and manage performance during the transition to the new EHR. Compare at
least two (2) benchmarking techniques (e.g., productivity standards, report cards, dashboards, etc.) and
provide a visual example for each technique used. Differentiate between internal and external
benchmarking. Discuss how benchmarking techniques are used to comply with health care regulations
and improve organizational performance.

PART THREEDemonstrate workflow concepts that would assist in managing the transition to the new EHR system.
Examine at least two (2) workflow concepts (e.g., use cases, top down diagrams, swimlane diagrams,
etc.). Provide a visual example of each and discuss its use in supporting internal policies, processes,
and organizational structure decision making

PART FOURDemonstrate project management techniques that you would use for the EHR transition to ensure
efficient workflow and appropriate outcomes. Select at least two (2) techniques (e.g., Gantt charts,
benchmarking, risk analysis) for interpretation. Provide an example of each and discuss how the two
project management techniques can be used to achieve outcomes that ensure regulatory compliance.

Cite at least four references to validate your statements. Prepare this Assignment according to the APA guidelines.

you will select one of the articles from the list of options below to use as the basis for an article critique. After reading the empirical article, you will write a paper in which you identify the primary research question(s) and hypotheses of the study, explain the relevant background context, describe the sample and population and key independent and dependent variables, interpret main findings, and identify and explain main strengths and limitations of the study.

Formatting:
Your paper should be formatted using Times New Roman 12 point font and double spaced throughout. Papers should be approximately 3-4 pages in length. Use the headings from the grading rubric to organize your paper.
Article Choices:
**If you have any trouble accessing the articles, try copy/pasting the text below into the UArizona Library search bar
Select one of the following empirical articles to use as the basis for your article critique:
Bech-Sorensen (2016): Replication of Sex Differences in Mate Preferences

A core goal of this class is to build familiarity with the issues and opportunities likely to arise between Marketing and Operations and how they may be leveraged to advantage for a business. This assignment is to assess a company using Business Model Generation tools, identify likely tensions/vulnerabilities as well as possible collaboration areas between Marketing and Operations (i.e. the left side and right side of the canvas).

As background, youll recall the exercise from the first night of class where we discussed the viewpoints of a typical Marketing and Operations manager. We identified likely objectives for each of these functions, discussed typical overlap areas, possible tensions and opportunities for collaboration between the groups. We then brainstormed possible solutions to ensure efficient and effective management.

This assignment is to develop a similar real life analysis on either Starbucks, Amazon (Go or Grocery) or a company of your choice. Whichever company you choose, you might do some type of field visit to assess the marketing/operations dynamic (i.e. visit the Amazon Go retail store or a Starbucks in addition to the case…but SAFELY!). Site visits are NOT required.

Specific requirements of this Assignment are as follows:

Undertake a field visit to your chosen company
Develop a thoughtful, in-depth 9-Box CanvasPreview the document for your company
Assess what type of Business Model Pattern (or patterns/hybrid) they are likely pursuing (i.e. multi-sided, long tail, etc)
Identify and describe three possible tension/concern points, critical interaction or collaboration areas between Marketing and Operations for this company
Create recommendations on how you would resolve those tension points or fully take advantage of the identified opportunities for collaboration. Specifically, what could management do to address the concerns and/or fully capitalize on possible areas of collaboration?

Written Activity #4: Race & Pandemics:

WHY DOES ANTHROPOLOGY MATTER?  Shanti Parik and Agustin Fuentes will be helping us to answer that question this week.  The world, it seems, could benefit from a more anthropological perspective.  What is anthropology, what kinds of questions or issues does it raise for you, and how are the skills applicable?  What is the “Big Question” that interests you?  This is what we are ultimately getting to.

Objective: To think about the holistic approach using science, emergent controversies, and belief as a springboard; examine the benefits of bringing anthropological perspectives and methods outside of the academy
Outcome: Discussing – and writing about – the ethics, benefits, and pitfalls of bringing an anthropological approach to wider publics and controversial debates e.g. RACE AND POWER.

Part I:  READ

First, read the following:
Fuentes (2011) Part II Ch. 4 pp. 65-113.

THEN ATTEND THE WORLD ANTHROPOLOGY DAY LECTURE.

PART II:  WRITE UP
In one post of 500+ words, answer the following questions based upon Dr. Parik’s lecture and Fuentes (2012) Ch. 4

You are tasked with learning from these two public scholars so that we may apply their strategies to our own work, and perhaps even improve upon them (if we’re feeling that bold):
1. Analyze how Parik and Fuentes debunk myths on race and viruses.  Can you figure out their narrative strategies here (eg. hooks, structure, etc)?
2. What kinds of data and stories do they present, and is it convincing?
3. What did you learn from the materials that you didn’t know before?

Please help me to write the speech for our quality of health course. We need to prepare a 10-15 mins presentation about an article (any topics) related to quality of health/quality improvement. I chose this article and you should write the presentation script about this article focusing discussing quality of care/quality improvement. You don’t need to do the slides as I need to submit the slides early within this week. Ill adjust my slides based on your script. If you find that you need to write more than 2 pages (for 10-15 mins presentation), I’ll place an extra order to compensation you!

Reminder: This is for healthcare quality class and you can focus more on what the instructor might think is a good presentation!
