You have returned with all kinds of new knowledge about ethics, community relations, and discretion. In your after-action report to the division commander about the training, the chief of police liked what he heard. The chief wants a position paper on ethics as they apply to customer and community relationships, discretion, and operational confidences so that it can be incorporated in the continual ethics and legal guidelines training sessions.

Address the following in 10–12 pages:
Explain the importance of legal and ethical guidelines for the police department.
Why should ethical guidelines and legal training be a continuing process for all personnel in their annual training cycle? Explain in detail.

How can this impact the police department for both the good and the bad? Explain.
Close-hold information and operational confidences are critical to any police agency. Relate the importance and impact of operational confidences for administrative issues as well as tactical law enforcement missions.
What subcultures are the most influential within a law enforcement agency? Explain.
What benefits can police subcultures provide for a law enforcement agency? Explain.
What challenges exist with regard to police subcultures within a law enforcement agency? Explain.

Healthcare specific financial policies and issues

Posted on | by admin3

 

This course explores healthcare specific financial policies and issues, analytical framework and economic transformation for financial decisions (such as investment and working capital), methods of financial management, insurance coverage and financing. In addition, the course focuses on the ability to apply economic and population health models to address health service issues and problems.

You will use the knowledge gained in this course to financially structure and evaluate the opening of a private primary care medical practice with one physician provider. You will prepare an operating and capital budget as well as a narrative summary of at least 1,000 words to show your financial findings and recommendations. You will provide supporting documentation to support your findings and recommendations.

Prior to writing your narrative summary you will need to prepare an operating and capital budget for the project. The well-prepared operating and capital budgets will demonstrate a keen knowledge of the market, pricing, activity, revenues, expenses, and potential impact on cash-flow and/or profitability. The capital budget will similarly demonstrate an awareness of the capital items and associated costs for project start-up.

Prepare an annual statistical report that includes the following:
Volume of patient visits
Revenues (percentage of reimbursement from Medicare, Medicaid, Commercial Insurance and Self Pay)
Expenses (Labor, Equipment, Supply, Overhead)
Provide your assumptions to justify all volumes, revenues and expenses
Prepare a three-year operating budget that includes the following:
An estimate of revenue each year
An estimate of expenses for each year
The cash flow (negative or positive) generated from revenues and expenses
Prepare a start-up capital budget listing the equipment you may need for this project including the cost and annual depreciation
From your operating budget calculate the following:
Projected cash flow over 3 years
Break-even analysis
Internal rate of return (IRR)
Net present value (NPV)
From your calculations, evaluate the financial risk involved with this project and make a recommendation as to whether this project is financially viable.
Prepare a 1000-word minimum narrative summary of your financial findings and recommendations. You will provide supporting documentation to support your findings and recommendations.

 

4 database constraints

Posted on | by Brian Leakey

Part 1)
Identify 4 database constraints (examples can include: Not NULL, primary key, unique, domain; there can be different ones as well). Explain each constraint
(40%) and provide an example of each constraint other than the one in the text (15%). The response should be in the order of 500+ words
Part 2)
HINT: Review the Normalization Process: Parts and Suppliers One-to-Many Example in the Terms and Concepts discussion.
Background
We want to keep track of the price we charge for each type of part, the supplier for each type of part, and the amount we pay the supplier for each type of
part (the cost). Each supplier can provide us with many different types of parts, but each part can be provided to us by only one supplier. This requires a oneto-many relationship.

Pre-assessments can often provide critical data

Posted on | by admin3

Allocate at least 3 hours in the field to support this field experience.

Pre-assessments can often provide critical data to guide your instructional content and strategies. With assistance from your mentor teacher, select three students from your field experience classroom who would benefit from an additional intervention strategy in the area of reading or math.

Based on recommendations from your mentor, select one state content area standard and create a pre-assessment that reflects the knowledge and skills needed to meet that standard. As an example, the assessment could be simple letter identification or asking questions about a book the students read to determine their understanding of the characters.

Implement the pre-assessment and analyze the results to determine the current performance level of each student. This information will be used to create and implement an intervention in the next topic’s field experience.

Use any remaining field experience hours to assist the teacher in providing instruction and support to the class.

As the deliverable for this Clinical Field Experience assignment, you will complete the following summary and reflection:

Write a 250-500 word summary of your pre-assessment activity, and the results from the implementation. Explain how this information will inform your future instructional planning for these students. Describe how you would communicate the assessment data and any intervention with families in order to support student achievement.

In 250-500 words, reflect on the importance of the pre-assessment process and analyzing the pre-assessment results to determine future instructional choices that would be appropriate for the students assessed. In addition, discuss the ethical use of data and how to make appropriate accommodations to assessments and instruction based on compiled data.

Rapid improvement events widely used in Lean and Operational Excellence deployment

Posted on | by Brian Leakey

Kaizen events, or work-outs, are one to five-day rapid improvement events widely used in Lean and Operational Excellence deployment. Use your work from the Value Stream Map assignment to identify improvement opportunities in the value stream that are suitable for Kaizen events or work-outs.

1) List the potential Kaizen Select the one to be deployed, and justify your selection. Then, define the Kaizen objective and scope for the selected event.

2) Develop a detailed agenda for each Kaizen Use a tabular format, showing the following:

Day and time
Session topics
Lean tools to be used
Deliverables or outputs
Rationale
Day & Time

Session Topics/Objectives

Lean Tools

Output/Deliverables

Rationale

3) Explain your choice for the number of days and the sequence for session topics, and justify the Lean tools to be used and outputs from each session. Show how your Kaizen agenda supports the Kaizen objective and scope for the event. This discussion should be specific to your value stream and organization.

When using different data algorithms, why is it fundamentally important to understand why they are being used?
If there are significant differences in the data output, how can this happen and why is it important to note the differences?
Who should determine which algorithm is “right” and the one to keep? Why?
