develop an outline for an “in-service”-style educational session on risk management,

In this assignment, groups will develop an outline for an “in-service”-style educational session on risk management, which will form the basis for a CLC slide presentation in Topic 5. Before starting the assignment, you are required to submit your proposed presentation topic to the instructor for approval. You will select one risk management topic relevant to and chosen from the points analyzed in the Risk Management Program Analysis Part One assignment in Topic 1.

The approval step is required so that each group will profile a different risk management topic in order to enhance the depth of learning and contribute to the body of knowledge of each student. Submit your group’s proposed topic as early as possible after your group members have been selected, but no later than Day 7 of Topic 1 for full assignment credit. Once you receive instructor approval, only then should you initiate work on this assignment. (Note: Work submitted on an unapproved topic will receive zero credit.)

Once your topic has been approved by the faculty, you will develop a 500-750 word comprehensive outline that communicates the approved risk management topic. The outline is required to include a minimum of three objectives to discuss what your group considers to be key or core risk management elements that pertain to the point, or element, you selected to profile.

Required sections to include in your outline are listed below. If your topic requires additional sections, include them as well:

Introduction.
Objectives: Three objectives you intend to address in the proposed risk management educational session.
Rationale: Rationale for each objective (i.e., Why are these three objectives key or core to the risk management issue?).
Supportive Data: Data to support the need for the proposed educational session.
Implementation Strategies: How will you implement the proposed educational session?
Evaluation Strategies: What tools will you use to evaluate the proposed educational session?
Challenges and Opportunities: Ideas or suggestions about areas of focus regarding risk management the organization could or should address moving forward into the future?

It may be helpful to preview the requirements for the Topic 3 assignment (Risk Management Program Analysis Part Two) and the Topic 4 assignment (Organizational Risk Management Interview), as the information may contribute to and enhance your final group presentation in Topic 5. It is highly encouraged that you also preview the Topic 5 assignment (Educational Program on Risk Management Part Two: Slide Presentation) to ensure your outline addresses all required elements for that final CLC submission.

For assistance on developing a solid outline, “Four Main Components for Effective Outlines” and related material regarding outlines can be found on the Purdue Online Writing Lab (OWL) website at https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/544/01/.

(Note: You are required to incorporate all instructor feedback from this assignment into the Topic 5 assignment, CLC – Educational Program on Risk Management Part Two – Slide Presentation. To save time later in the course, consider addressing any feedback soon after this assignment has been graded and returned to you.)

A minimum of six citations from the literature or appropriate websites is required to support your statements.

What proportion of variance is shared by minutes of exercise and depression among women 50-65 years of age?

NURS 6208 FINAL Project and guidelines

I need some help with section I and II, I have section III mostly done 7 hrs from NOW

The project must be typewritten, double spaced and very limited in length (2-3 pages).

Part I (5 points)

A NP researcher randomly sampled 100 women aged 50-65 years and measured their minutes of exercise in the past week, BMI, and depression. Depression was measured using a Likert type scale consisting of 20 items. The summation score ranged from 20 to 100 and the higher the score, the higher the level of depression. The correlation coefficients (Pearson’s rs) are summarized in the following table. For the analyses, statistical significant level was set at α=0.05.

Table 1: correlation among minutes of exercise, BMI and depression

	Exercise in past week (minutes)	BMI
BMI	-0.20
Depression score	-0.30 (P<0.05)	0.21

1. Write a research and null hypotheses regarding the relationship between exercise and depression.

2. Based on the test statistics in table 1, what is you conclusion regarding your research hypothesis? (Hint: discuss both the magnitude and direction of the relationship).

3. What proportion of variance is shared by minutes of exercise and depression among women 50-65 years of age?

4. For the relationship between minutes of exercise and BMI, what was the estimated power of the statistical test? (Using the power table on page 202, table 9.1, Polit 2010). What was the risk that a type II error was committed?

5. If -0.20 is a good estimation of population correction, what sample size would be needed to achieve power of 0.80 at α=0.05?

PART II. (5 points)

Using the “N6208 Final Project Data”, select two variables with nominal or ordinal level measurements, and perform the descriptive statistics (frequency and percentage). [Please select only dichotomous variables from the following list: worknow, poverty, smoker, PoorHealth]. Then perform the bi-variate descriptive statistics using crosstabulation. Hand calculate the ARs, ARR, RR, and OR. Perform a chi-square analysis. Write a report with the following sections:

Introduction: Including the variables, measurement levels, one bivariate research question, and one hypothesis [for example, the event of adverse risk (using your variable name here, for instance, alcohol usage) will be higher/or lower in the risk exposed group (i.e., marijuana use) compare to the non-exposed group (non-users of marijuana)].

Method: Include sample description (sample size, eligibility criteria) and statistical methods used for data analysis. (The sample information can be found in “Polit Dataset Description” in SPSS Data Sets folder).

Results: Include frequencies and percentages for the two variables, crosstabulation results, risk indexes (ARs, ARR, RR, and OR), and chi-square test results. Include a summary table for the results and write your interpretation (Attach SPSS outputs).

Discussion: Write a report including summary and interpretation of the findings reported in the previous sections relative to the research questions you posed.

Part III. (10 points)

Run a one-way ANOVA using the dataset “N6208 Final Project Data”. The Dataset contains 1000 cases from the original PolitDatasetA. Two variables will be used for this analysis: Satisfaction and Houseproblem .

The variable Houseproblem is created using the variable housprob, a summary index of eight variables about current housing problems for the women in this sample—for example, whether or not they had their utilities cut off, had vermin in the household, had unreliable hear, and so forth. The variable housprob is a count of the total number of times the women said “yes” to these eight questions. The variable housprob is recoded into Houseproblem based on number of housing problems. The coding for Houseproblem is: 1=no housing problems, 2=one housing problem, and 3= two or more housing problems.

Satisfaction measures the overall satisfaction with material sell-being. This variable is a summated rating scale variable for women’s responses to their degree of satisfaction with four aspects of their material sell-being—their housing, food, furniture, and clothing for themselves and their children. Each item was coded from 1 (very dissatisfied) to 4 (very satisfied), so the overall score for the four items could range from a low of 4 (4 X 1) to 16 (4 X 4). Higher score indicates greater satisfaction. This scale has an internal consistency Cronbach’s alpha of 0.90. The content validity and construct validity have been established in previous research.

For this analysis, use the variable Houseproblem as the independent (group) variable and variable Satisfaction as the outcome variable. To run the one-way ANOVA, click Analyze → Compare Means → Oneway. In the opening dialogue box, move Satisfaction into the Dependent List and Houseproblem into the slot for Factor. Click the Options pushbutton, and click Descriptives and Homogeneity of Variance, then continue. Next, click the Post Hoc pushbutton and select LSD. Click continue, then OK, and answer these questions:

1. What are the mean levels of satisfaction in the three groups? Report the mean, SD, minimum, maximum and sample size in a table.

2. Write a research question.

3. Write the research hypothesis and the null hypothesis.

4. What was the value of the F statistic?

5. What were the degrees of freedom?

6. What was the probability level for the F statistic? Can the null hypothesis be rejected?

7. According to the LSD test, were any group means significantly different from any others? If yes, which ones?

8. Write a paragraph summarizing the results.

9. Attach the relevant SPSS printouts.

What are the Health Insurance Marketplaces, and how do consumers enroll in health insurance?

NUR 3805 Dimensions of Professional Nursing Practice

Health Care Reform Paper

Purpose: The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) was a sweeping health reform statute signed into law by President Obama in March of 2010. The ACA is the most significant government expansion and regulatory overhaul of the health system since the advent of Medicare and Medicaid. The intent of the law is to expand insurance coverage, control health care costs, and to improve healthcare delivery systems. Even as the ACA rolls out, much of the population (including nurses) lack understanding of the ACA, and question the value of the law in achieving its intended results. This assignment gives students the opportunity to explore how healthcare is organized and financed, and discuss how the Affordable Care Act affects population health, patient care quality and safety, and the practice of nursing.

Prepare: Complete the “Health Care Reform” study guide, watch videos and read the articles provided in the module.

Content: For the Health Care Reform PAPER, select ONE of the following questions that addresses/explores one aspect of the ACA. Write a brief (2-3 page) paper in APA format that provides a clear description that answers the question, AND reflect on why this information is important to you in your practice as a nurse, as a family member and/or as member of your community.

Choose ONE topic/question:

1. Describe the Affordable Care Act (ACA), including the major goals and features of the law. How does the ACA differ from government-run healthcare in other countries?

2. What are the Health Insurance Marketplaces, and how do consumers enroll in health insurance? How do the exchanges work?

3. Describe the Medicare program, including eligibility, and program elements (Parts A, B, C, D). Describe Medicare expenditures for the most recent year.

4. Describe the Medicaid program, including eligibility by age and income. Explain Medicaid Expansion programs proposed under the ACA, and the current status of expansion programs in the United States.

5. One of the goals of the ACA is to decrease the number of uninsured people. How well has this goal been achieved? What population groups have been impacted the most by this increased coverage?

6. Define the concept of Hospital Value-based Purchasing (also known as pay-for-performance or performance-based reimbursement. Provide examples of how hospitals are affected by value-based purchasing policies.

7. Define Medical Homes and Accountable Care Organizations. How can these approaches improve population health, improve the quality of healthcare and lower costs?

Format: Apply APA format and style guidelines to write a 2- to 3-page paper, which should include a minimum of three references, one or more of which is an article from a peer-reviewed journal. No abstract is required for this paper.

Discussion:

See Discussion assignment instructions; students will post one substantive post and one substantive peer response to the following question: What does the Affordable Care Act mean for nursing? Base your initial post on information described in your Health Care Reform paper, supplemented by the Luther and Hart article (and/or more resources)!
