Summarize the policy of EBM in your conclusion.

Evidence-based medicine (EBM), previously transnational medicine, can be defined as improving care based on empirical research and/or hands-on practice. The EBM’s approach is based on either direct patient care (bottom-up) or an experiment translated into guidelines (top-down).  EBM is used in either in conjunction or as quality assessment tool(s) for continuous quality improvement (CQI). The healthcare leader must utilize the evidence to promote healthcare quality.

  • Explain the process of evidence-based analysis.
  • Highlight the major players and their roles in EBM policy (i.e., government, providers, patients, etc.).
  • Explain the EBM “Levels of Evidence” as defined in your course text.
  • Review the case “Constraints of the ACA on Evidence-Based Medicine.”
  • Provide a written analysis of the case “Constraints of the ACA on Evidence-Based Medicine” in Chapter 9 of your textbook. (Utilize the  “Levels of  Evidence and Grades of  Recommendations” as defined by the National Guideline) Clearinghouse.
  • Summarize the policy of EBM in your conclusion.

What is Butters’ economic profit of becoming an author (show your work)?

. Leopold “Butters” Stotch (hereafter referred to as Butters) works as Paris Hilton’s pet bear. He is considering a binary choice today. Starting from now, Butters’ lifetime earnings as a pet bear will be $10,000,000. His lifetime expenses in this job will be $50,000 in dry cleaning of his bear suit, $200,000 in food (because Paris only gives him bear food), and $3,000,000 in costs associated with failed escape attempts. Instead, Butters could become an author; not just any author, but the genius voice of our generation who changes literature as we know it (like Kanye or Pitbull, but for books). His lifetime earnings as an author would be $8,000,000. His expenses for this job would be $20,000 in materials and office equipment, along with $500,000 for a rural home in which to work and live. He would have to borrow the money for those expenses, and he would have to pay back $10,000 in interest. Finally, while he is unemployed and working on his first novel, he could be earning $500,000 working as Paris Hilton’s pet bear.

Explain in one or two sentences what the theory argues is the correct way to determine what is right. This is the main argument of the theory in a nutshell.

Over the course of thousands of years, various theories have been offered to explain the best way to determine what is ethical. The search for “good” or correct actions and thoughts has provided several strong approaches that are actively used today. While all of the various ethical theories seek to lead one to being ethical, they differ on how this should be accomplished. Each approach has its own strengths and weaknesses. It is important to understand these differences when analyzing ethical decisions from various perspectives.

For this Assignment, you are to complete the chart for seven ethical theories based on the following criteria:

  • How is “good” determined: Explain in one or two sentences what the theory argues is the correct way to determine what is right. This is the main argument of the theory in a nutshell.

What was your sense of this person’s/couple’s acculturation level and racial/cultural identity development? Why do you think this is the case? (approximately 200 words)

You will conduct an in-depth, 1-hour interview with an individual or married couple from horticulturalist grouping order to develop an understanding of the cultural factors that helped shape that individual’s or couple’s cultural identity.

 

A variety of issues may be explored in the interview. The knowledge you gained from both parts of the Cultural Immersion Project as well as your sense of the person/couple you interview will guide you in how personal you can get with your questions. Cultural groups and individuals vary on how private they are. Use their feedback regarding what areas you can probe. If the person is very open, go deeper. If not, respect that cultural boundary and ask yourself why that boundary is there. Issues that you may wish to explore during the interview include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Early childhood experiences and parental values;
  • Earliest memories of recognizing membership in a culturally different group;
  • The role of religion/spirituality;
  • Immigration experiences;
  • Similarities/differences between couples’ interactions in the U.S. to couples’ interactions in the individual’s culture;
  • School experiences as a member of a cultural minority;
  • Experiences with subtle racism or discrimination;
  • Experiences with overt racism or discrimination;
  • Ways the person/couple chose his/her/their career(s) or made career choices;
  • The experience of being culturally different;
  • Attitudes regarding the majority culture;
  • Extent of desire to assimilate majority cultural attitudes, values, and lifestyles;
  • Feelings of oppression;
  • Feelings of anger toward majority culture;
  • From the person’s/couple’s own cultural background, any potential racist attitudes toward or stereotyping of individuals from other particular cultures; and/or
  • Strengths identified from the person’s/couple’s cultural background that help him/her/them cope with living in the U.S.

 

Once your interview is complete, you will answer the questions listed below. First person may be used in your answers. This assignment may also be in outline form instead of formatted as a traditional paper; however, you must observe correct and current APA style. The paper must have a correct title page, and you must use a reference page (no abstract is needed). A word estimate is beside each question; however, the quality of your answer is more important than the word count. You may expand further, but you do not have to do so.

Explain whether you agree or disagree with the way the selected computer crime in your chosen article is being addressed.

You have been selected to be a speaker at a University Professional Development Seminar.  The topic of discussion is “ How to protect yourself from computer crimes”.

Write a 3-4 page paper in which you:

Select a computer crime of your choice for your speech at the Seminar. Imagine you have been asked to address the following items listed below. Remember that your textbook has several crimes listed in chapter one.

  1. Explain how the selected computer crime victimizes someone.
  2. Evaluate how vulnerable or susceptible society is today, with respect to this computer crime.

Research the Internet for a news article that discusses how this type of computer crime is being addressed by law enforcement or the criminal justice system. Select one article to answer the following:

  1. Explain whether you agree or disagree with the way the selected computer crime in your chosen article is being addressed.
  2. Use at least four (4) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources.

Identify the main categories. What main points will you cover.

The Code of Ethics and Evaluation Paper is a significant project for this course. To stay on track, this assignment asks you to create an outline. Please review the Course Project in Unit VII, titled Code of Ethics and Evaluation Paper. An outline is a great way to organize the ideas that you want to communicate within a paper, or any form of writing.

 

For your outline, include the following:

 

1. Identify the topic. The topic of your paper is important. Try to sum up the point of your paper in one sentence or phrase that is original and topic focused, well developed, and thought provoking. This will help your paper stay focused on the main point.

 

2. Identify the main categories. What main points will you cover? The introduction usually introduces all of your main points, should flow logically, and is effectively linked to the main topic. Then the rest of paper can be spent developing those points.

 

3. Create the first category. What is the first point you want to cover? If the paper centers around a complicated term, a definition is often a good place to start. For a paper about a particular theory, giving the general background on the theory can be a good place to begin.

 

4. Create subcategories. After you have the main point, create points under it that provide support for the main point. The number of subcategories that you use depends on the amount of information you are going to cover; there is no right or wrong number to use as long as each point is compelling or persuasive in support of the main category. Keep in mind there are 15 content areas to the course project.
