Create a procedure to follow for reviewing article abstracts. This can be similar to a standard operating procedure or in a format you prefer. A flow chart or similar model can also be used. Assume you will use this method when you begin your own chapter 2.

Begin your procedure with the following:

Include at least three steps for determining if the abstract has the main points related to your topic.
Outline how or what you will look for in the abstract. This information will be what prompts you to open the full-text article.
In the next step of the procedure:

Develop a plan or visual tool to take notes about each search engine, main theme, URL, and a section of the chapter this would be used.
For example, chapter 2 begins with an introduction for the reader about your topic, next to a paragraph of how and where you found the literature, then the theoretical or conceptual framework, and then finally the main content of the chapter. The main content is categorized by you and how your literature develops.

5 scholarly resources

In this Assignment, you will showcase your research skills and abilities, and knowledge gained in development of an extensive and in-depth senior level Interdisciplinary Project.  The project offers an opportunity to weave together all the different threads from a students background, the various courses taken at APUS and other institutions, training (both civilian and military), and hobbies and interests and talents.  One of the goals for the project is to integrate the learning and the outcomes into future career, professional, and/or community plans.

Directions:

Your Interdisciplinary Project  is a 8-10 page paper that will include a thesis, research questions or hypothesis (as appropriate), and literature from at least 10 sources (5 must be scholarly).  Remember to use an interdisciplinary focus with connections to multiple disciplines.

The seven-step method of making an ethical decision that Meyers discusses in Chapter 2, Section 2.6.1, is simple and straightforward on the surface! Every step includes factors important to the decision-making process, and it seems as if you could just go through the steps and emerge with a decision. But as Meyers demonstrates, this is hard work, and the hardest work is done in step five. To the extent that you can, you set aside your feelings, and even your conscience, and you use your faculty of reason to determine the extent to which all relevant factors are involved. This is where you decide what to do.

Its helpful to review an example. For this assignment, you will select a fictional character from a film or television program who made a tough moral decision. Then, in an essay of approximately 750 words, use Meyers seven steps to analyze the process that the character used to make their ultimate decision.

Attached is the book being use at the school, if unable to get the book please let me know so that I can send copies. This book is needed to complete essay.

First, describe the nature of the moral problem (you might find the list of moral principles in Section 2.7 helpful as you describe the conflict).
Next, assess the presence of any relevant factors involved (as described in the first four steps of Meyers model).
Then, carefully analyze the characters deliberations using Meyers fifth step as your guide.
Finally, conclude your essay by discussing the effects of steps six and seven on the ultimate decision that the character made. What were the outcomes?
The character you choose must be a professional as defined by the criteria introduced in Module 2. You can use the list in Meyers Chapter 1, or you can keep the most basic criteria in mind. The character is in a profession that serves a vital need, and the characters client — however that is defined — is trusting the character to make the best decision by prioritizing their well-being. Sample movies include Eye in the Sky (2015),  Awakenings (1990), The Insider (1999), Saving Private Ryan (1998), The Conversation (1974), and The Ides of March (2011). Those are just some ideas to get you started; there are lots of great stories to choose from!

Writing Requirements:
Develop an interesting introduction that includes an evident thesis.
Logically organize your ideas, ensuring that there are transitions between each paragraph.
Use at least two direct quotations from the movie and Meyers, using APA citation style.
Use proper grammar and syntax.
Use detail, dialogue, and description to support your ideas.

HI135-3: Explain concepts of ethics and values in relation to situations occurring in health information practice.

GEL-7.02: Apply ethical reasoning to ethical issues within the field of study.

PC-2.3: Demonstrate integrity through the application of relevant codes of conduct and social responsibility within one’s profession.

Instructions:

Review thoroughly the AHIMA Code of Ethics on page 1 of Appendix C of the Health Information Management, Concepts, Principles and Practice text. Apply your understanding of professional ethics and the appropriate professional code of conduct using the ethical decision-making matrix in Chapter 28 of the HIM: Concepts, Principles and Practice starting on page 909 – to the five (5) scenarios provided. In each case, the Code of Ethics has been violated. List first how the Code has been violated, follow this with use of the seven (7) steps to identify a prevention option so the issue will not recur. Be sure to list each of the seven steps and answer the steps thoroughly for each of the five scenarios.

Scenarios:

At a meeting of her bridge club, one of the members expresses sympathy for an absent member who, she reports, has recently been hospitalized as a result of acute appendicitis. Jane, an RHIA, remarks, Oh, it was not appendicitis at all but, of course, I cant tell you what it was because that would not be ethical.
When applying for fellowship in the American College of Surgeons, Dr. Smith cites the cases of several patients who were actually cared for by a senior surgeon on the case as examples of his own patients and surgical work. The list of cases he has submitted is sent to the hospital to James, RHIA, for verification. Knowing how eager the young surgeon is to obtain this fellowship and not wanting to make trouble, James verifies by his signature the statements that these were Dr. Smiths patients.
Martha, RHIA, is sent by her hospital to an advanced workshop on HIPAA security regulations in San Francisco. Because she has the speaker handout package and can purchase audiotapes of the sessions for future reference, on two of the days of the workshop, Martha decides to go shopping and sightseeing instead of attending the afternoon sessions.
Hearing of a job in a hospital in the next town where the salary is better and the working conditions more pleasant, Erica RHIA, applies for it. During her interview, she stats that she earned her degree in a well-respected program. In reality, she spent only one year in that program before transferring to another program where she actually earned her degree. She secures the new position and, because the second hospital is very anxious to have her start work at once, places a letter of resignation under the door of the vice president to whom she reports in her current position, informing the VP that she will not be returning to the facility.
Jack, RHIA, works for MediUpdate, Inc. as a coding consultant. He also is a newly elected member of the board of directors of the state health information management association. The board has decided to sponsor a series of coding update workshops and is in the process of reviewing proposals from potential consulting and training companies. At the meeting, Jack heavily promotes MediUpdates proposal and casts his vote for this company.

HA255-4: Examine behaviors that embrace cultural diversity and workplace relations in health care organizations.

GEL-8.02: Apply Critical Thinking to use principles of sound reasoning

Cultural Diversity Considerations in Health Care Organizations

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) was established in 1965 and its purpose is to enforce federal laws that make it illegal to discriminate against a job applicant or an employee because of the person’s race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy, gender identity, and sexual orientation), national origin, age (40 or older), disability or genetic information (n.d.).

For this Assignment, select three cultural diversity considerations HR departments may need to address, such as company culture, unconscious bias, potentially discriminatory hiring practices, etc. Acting as if you are in the role of human resources coordinator, examine the need for culture change, manager/employee training programs, and new policies to address your chosen issues. Describe how you would implement these changes in the workplace.

Diversity Scenarios

Consider how the resources this week have increased your understanding of influences that contribute to differences among adult learners. By anticipating the mix of experiences, attitudes, and abilities you will likely find among the adults with whom you work, you will be better prepared to provide each learner with the appropriate support to encourage maximum success.

Educating diverse groups of adult learners is no easy task. That applies to learners and to you as an adult educator as well. Be aware of your own experiences, attitudes, and expectations that might cloud your judgment about individual learners, and draw on knowledge and strategies to help you make accurate and informed responses to “diversity scenarios.”

Test yourself with the diversity scenarios that follow. Read each one and reflect on your understanding of the situation and the adult learners involved. Consider information from the Resources this week that would provide guidance for responding most appropriately to each.

Educator A: In a community college classroom, a student stands out to you, even though he seems to be doing his utmost to be inconspicuous. He never volunteers an answer and when you call on him, he mumbles his response. He speaks in a deeply accented voice and although you have some difficulty catching his every word, what you understand indicates that he is thinking critically about the course content. That impression is confirmed by his first written assignment. You wonder about his potential, what may be influencing his classroom demeanor, and how best to support him.

Educator B: You are leading a two-day orientation of new caseworkers in child protective services from across a wide region. As the associates enter the room, you see two women in wheelchairs among the group. You plan to cover requirements as well as “dos and donts” of home visits. You wonder about the womens physical limitations and if all of the material that you have planned is appropriate for them. You are also concerned about whether you, the women, and/or other members of the group will feel self-conscious when you discuss aspects of the job that involve/require mobility.

Educator C: You are reviewing evaluations from a corporate training session with Human Resources associates at a large company. Your focus was hiring, layoff, and firing practices, with special attention to questioning techniques and termination statements to avoid charges of age discrimination. You followed your preferred format: using a PowerPoint presentation as a visual, discussing key points, and providing copies of the presentation as a handout. Many evaluations are positive and mention the value of the PowerPoint as a reference. However, there are a number of complaints along the lines of “I was expecting more than a lecture. It would help to try out techniques or observe situations to critique.” You wonder how much importance to give those criticisms, what would be involved in accommodating those suggestions, and whether doing so might raise other issues or challenges to consider.

Choose one scenario to respond to in your Discussion post. Select the scenario that is most relevant to you and your work as an adult educator. Take the role of Educator A, B, or C, and then
