• Reduction of all-cause, non-disease-specific readmissions
o Research and discuss evidence-based practices for effectively transitioning patient from facility to home with specific focus on preventing all-cause hospital readmissions.
o Incorporate social determinants of health considerations that impact all-cause readmissions and how to prevent them with focused interventions or initiatives for your patient targeting the individual, community, and system levels.
• Primary, secondary, and tertiary strategies to prevent hospitalization

Portfolio management process

Posted on | by

 

 

As a project portfolio manager, one of your primary responsibilities will be to manage the portfolio management process. Communicating an updated process is a common need for project portfolio managers to demonstrate how a project or program aligns to strategic objectives and enhances business value.

In this assessment, as the project portfolio manager, you will apply your strategic planning skills to design a portfolio management process. You will develop a basic understanding of a change management methodology to communicate that process to project managers, stakeholders, and executives.

Consider 1 organization whose strategic objectives you are familiar with. This could be your employer or another organization that you identify through research. Read through the assessment requirements and ensure that you have enough to complete this assessment.

Design a project portfolio management (PPM) process that will align to your selected organization’s strategic objectives and enhance the business value. This process may be intaking new projects or programs into the portfolio, prioritizing approved projects and allocating resources, capacity planning, monitoring project performance, or another process of your choice.

Write a memo to executive leadership, as appropriate, to communicate the PPM process you designed. Include the following information in your memo:
• In a brief narrative or summary, explain the process and how it enhances business value. Explain how this process is aligned to any specific business goals or strategic objectives and how the organization can more directly meet their overall strategic vision or objectives with this process.
• Explain the change management methodology you recommend (e.g., Prosci® ADKAR® model, Kurt Lewin’s methodology, Dr. John Kotter’s methodology, or something else) and how it will be used for communicating the change.
• Summarize the communication requirements to ensure the change is managed successfully.
• Identify tools and resources that will be used to support the change.

Create a diagram, such as a flow chart, to map the process. You may use Microsoft® Word or PowerPoint®. Remember that this diagram will be for the PMO, not for general project management.

Cite any references used and format citations and references according to APA guidelines.

Submit your memo and diagram.

Name of company
Industry
Brief history of company

Working in business management means taking on responsibility to lead your organization in a variety of situations. Part of that responsibility is understanding where an organization has been and where it’s going. In this course, you put yourself in the shoes of a manager and use resources to make decisions on where an organization is heading in respect to business needs, organizational structure, leadership strategies, and change management. Some of the information needed may be easy to locate, but other information may take time and effort to find. Some may even need assumptions based on research. These research and strategizing skills will be useful in your business management career.

Data analysis

Activity I – You have just opened a restaurant in a large city, and you are deciding what you should charge for a regular-sized soda. You’d like to charge a price equal to the average of your competitors, which you believe is $2.58. To inform your decision, you want to learn more about the average price charged by competing restaurants in the area. You know you won’t be able to get prices for every restaurant, so you randomly sample 35 and collect their soda prices. These data are in Soda.xlsx ( See the attached)

You are assuming the mean soda price is $2.58 for all of your competitors. When conducting data analysis to test this belief, what is this assumption called?
Calculate the t-statistic assuming the mean soda price for all of your competitors is $2.58.
Calculate the p-value for your t-statistic.
Using a confidence level of 90%, test whether the mean soda price of all your competitors is $2.58 using the t-stat.
Using a confidence level of 90%, test whether the mean soda price of all your competitors is $2.58 using the p-value.
Is it possible that your answers to parts d and e would yield different conclusions?
Activity II – To better assess your willingness-to-pay for advertising on others’ websites, you want to learn the mean profit per visit for all visits to your website. To accomplish this, you have collected a random sample of 4,738 visits to your website over the past six months. This sample includes information on visit duration and profits. The data are contained in WebProfits.xlsx (See the attached). Using the data in WebProfits.xlsx:

Build a 99% confidence interval for the mean profit per visit for all of your visitors.
Let the null hypothesis be that mean profit per visit for all of your visitors is $11.50.
Calculate the corresponding t-stat for this null hypothesis.
Calculate the corresponding p-value for this null hypothesis.
With strength of 95%, decide whether or not to reject this null hypothesis.
Detail the reasoning behind your decision.
