Economic Legislation SWOT Analysis

For our class, you will be utilizing the SWOT to analyze an economic legislative change. The link in your readings is one of the best resources that I have found to help you with this project. Do Not use the American Healthcare Act [the ACA/Obama care etc.] for this assignment. The ACA is our healthcare system. You want to look at current legislation [current law] having an impact on our healthcare system. Any SWOT completed on the ACA or proposed legislation will not be accepted.

Please make sure the legislation is an economic legislation [law] document that you are analyzing. For example, antitrust laws, CARES act, HIPAA, HITECH, CHIP, Anti-human trafficking, specific tax laws, any commonsense law such as Click it or ticket or need to be age 21 to buy alcohol or tobacco are all good examples of economic legislation to review and analyze. APA Format

I would suggest matching the law to the facility. For example, if you are using St. Jude’s hospital, the newest version of the CHIP law would be a good match. A few tips: Be sure to use in text citations for writing the description of the legislation and have a reference page. A suggestion would be to use the same legislation for your SWOT and milestone 2. Complete the SWOT first then write milestone 2 as you will be able to better answer the milestone questions. Do not use direct quotes. Summarize the information for the paragraph description and cite. The bullet points in the SWOT do not need cited as that is your analysis of the legislation. Add a short paragraph that defines an economic policy that affects the American Health Care act AKA Obama care. Name the economic policy, then describe what this specific policy is supposed to do. For example, the newest CHIP policy for pediatric patients. Cite all the sentences related to your legislation. Guidelines: Your SWOT analysis should include a one-paragraph description of the economic policy you have chosen, followed by a 2×2 chart with headings for Strengths, Weakness, Opportunities, and Threats. Submissions will be approximately 1–2 pages in length and should follow basic APA formatting for charts and for referencing any sources within the analysis. Economic Legislation SWOT Analysis

By AssignmentHelp Blog

Patient Preferences and Decision-Making

Changes in culture and technology have resulted in patient populations that are often well informed and educated, even before consulting or considering a healthcare need delivered by a health professional. Fueled by this, health professionals are increasingly involving patients in treatment decisions. However, this often comes with challenges, as illnesses and treatments can become complex. What has your experience been with patient involvement in treatment or healthcare decisions? In this Discussion, you will share your experiences and consider the impact of patient involvement (or lack of involvement). You will also consider the use of a patient decision aid to inform best practices for patient care and healthcare decision making. Review the Resources and reflect on a time when you experienced a patient being brought into (or not being brought into) a decision regarding their treatment plan.

Review the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute’s Decision Aids Inventory at https://decisionaid.ohri.ca/Links to an external site.

Media Violence and Desensitization

By AssignmentHelp Blog

Media Violence and Desensitization. Desensitization is a well-documented consequence of years-long exposure to media violence. From early exposure, children—especially boys—learn that aggression pays off (Bushman, Gollwitzer, & Cruz, 2015). Aggression—especially if it means you “win” the game, “defeat” the adversary, or “force” a resolution to a conflict—earns the aggressor attention, praise, respect, reverence, adoration, money, and power. These are the rewards that often accompany aggression portrayed by the film industry (e.g., Die Hard, Die Hard 2, Die Hard With a Vengeance, Live Free or Die Hard, A Good Day to Die Hard), making it more likely that the aggressive behavior will persist. The number of films in this series is evidence of their popularity. From classical conditioning theory, we learn that bad behavior paired with rewards can make the bad behavior desirable; moreover, the prevalence of violence in the media, over time, normalizes it. Studies show that when exposed to violent films daily over a week’s time, participants rate films as less violent with each film viewed (Dexter, Penrod, Linz, & Saunders, 2006). This is evidence of desensitization.

Desensitized people tend not to acknowledge the effects of media violence, because they don’t see that there’s a problem. However, a growing body of research finds that desensitized individuals downplay or tend not to acknowledge egregious harm done to others; because a steady diet of violent media normalizes violent behavior, injury suffered by people in real life does not seem like cause for concern (Vossen, Piotrowski, & Valkenburg, 2016). That’s the nature of desensitization, and that is indeed a problem. Convinced there is no harm in violent media consumption—that their behavioral tendencies will not have been influenced by it—desensitized consumers probably would not be interested in changing their media viewing habits (Funk, Baldacci, Pasold, & Baumgardner, 2004). For this Assignment, you will examine the concept of desensitization, methods used to increase the desirability of violence, and ways for parents to reduce aggression exhibited by their children. Search the Walden Library and/or the Internet for the definition of desensitization, its symptoms, and the process that creates it. From your search and from the Learning Resources for this week, consider the ways that violence is presented and whether or not its presentation is appealing to children. Also, from your search, consider how social psychology theory is applied to reduce aggression.

Emotional Intelligence

By AssignmentHelp Blog

In this module, we reviewed several theories of emotion and discussed the concept of emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence (otherwise known as emotional quotient or EQ) refers to one’s ability to identify, evaluate, and manage their emotions as well as the emotions of others. Some experts even believe EQ is more important than IQ. Emotional intelligence allows us to enrich essential areas of our lives such as home, work, school, and community. For this written assignment, students will describe the concept of emotional intelligence and the four core components of Goleman’s theory of emotional intelligence. Students will apply those four skills to themselves by assessing their own EQ. Students will define the concept of emotional intelligence. Students will describe the four core skills of Goleman’s theory of emotional intelligence and discuss how each skill can enhance a person’s life. For each of the four skills, students will identify their strengths and limitations and provide suggestions for how they can improve each skill in their own life. When completing this section of the assignment, consider the following: Self-awareness: An emotional trigger is anything that evokes a strong emotional response.

Are you aware of your emotional “triggers?” What are some of your triggers? Do you allow yourself to experience a range of emotions or do you have difficulty experiencing some emotions? How can you become more aware of your emotions and how they affect your behavior? Self-management: How do you manage strong emotions such as anger, stress, or frustration? Think of a time when you were angry, stressed out, or frustrated. How did you handle it? Next, think about how you could handle those emotions in healthy ways in the future. Describe a few healthy emotional management skills. Social awareness: Can you think of a time when you demonstrated empathy? What makes it difficult for you to show empathy? How can you improve your ability to consider others’ feelings and offer empathy? Relationship management: What are some of the interpersonal strengths and limitations you bring to relationships? Are you a good communicator? How well do you listen? Are you a team player? Can you accept feedback? How do you manage conflict?

She has a bachelor’s degree in Art History and is employed by a major New York museum. Shannel was born and raised in Virginia and moved to New York 4 years ago for employment.

I can handle my life, but she threatened to move out and I cannot afford the apartment by myself.” HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: Shannel admitted to purging and frequent use of laxatives to try and keep her weight down. Shannel reported her weight was being monitored by a nutritionist and she had lab work done to be sure she remained healthy. Shannel reports that she was much heavier as a teenager and wants to confirm she doesn’t get like that again. Shannel reported that she has a very stressful job. She stated that approximately one month ago she started to have difficulty concentrating at work. She had several altercations with coworkers as well. Several weeks ago Shannel reported that a coworker “said something nasty and I lost it.” Shannel reported that she was angry and “hit everything I knew I could—but that did not help.” Shannel also reported being under stress due to applying for her master’s degree in art history and difficulties with her boyfriend.
