Graduate-level writing requires a detailed examination of different phenomena and situating them within the context of course concepts. Assignments differ from journals and discussion posts by formulating a broader and more comprehensive argument that offers a new scholarly or methodological perspective. Assignments must be approximately 8-10 pages in length with double-spaced, 12 pt. font, and 1-inch margins. The assignment must be formatted in the APA 7th edition format with a minimum of 10-15 sources that are cited both in-text and on the works cited page.

Prompt: You recently were hired by an organization in a field you currently work in (or hope to work in after completing your graduate program) to write part of an implicit bias training program that will be required for all new and current employees to complete each year. *NOTE: MAKE SURE TO CREATE A NAME FOR THE COMPANY AND ITS SPECIFIC FIELD OF WORK. You are tasked with writing the Combatting Implicit Biases – Effective Interventions sections where you will lay out strategies for employees to become aware of, interrogate, and work to eliminate implicit biases in the workplace. The two sections are:

1. Section One – Epistemic Responsibility in Everyday Work. Based on your understanding of epistemic responsibility discussed in Chapter 9 in the textbook, identify and explain 4-5 concrete strategies employees can employ to display this in their day-to-day work in the company. What does it mean – and look like – to display epistemic humility in this company? How can open-mindedness be demonstrated? Make sure to cite a multitude of scholarly sources to strengthen each strategy.
2. Section Two – Debiasing Interventions. Based on your understanding of the Six Debiasing Tools outlined in Chapter 12 of the textbook, identify and explain concrete strategies employees can employ to fulfill all six of the tools. Makes sure to contextualize each strategy within the purpose and direction of the company. For example, what does an effective approach mindset look like at the company? How can employees consistently perform it? Make sure to cite a multitude of scholarly sources to strengthen each strategy.

Hi there.

Bert Munoz, again, faculty practitioner at the University of Phoenix with the College of Health Professions.

The topic of this video is healthcare, accounting and finance.

Here’s a background. Look, financial statements are very important in any organization.

Why? Well, because they do tell the story of the financial position of the organization based on the analysis of its income statement, balance sheet, and the cash flow statements.

While cost may increase and reimbursement may decrease, healthcare organizations need to remain profitable.

The big question is, how can hospitals optimize their financial position without compromise and quality or patient safety? So here’s a case scenario for you to consider.

You have been promoted from controller to chief financial officer or CFO of General Hospital.

You are concerned about the financial position of the hospital, and as a result, you conducted a financial analysis of the profitability, revenue streams, expenses, and state of liquidity of General Hospital.

You have used HCA as a company, as a public healthcare company to benchmark trends in the financial performance of General Hospital, best of success in your efforts in finding viable business solutions and the financial performance of General Hospital.

Thank you for watching this video.

Access the HCA Healthcare, Inc. Financial Statements and use the income statement and balance sheet information as you prepare your report.

Write a 1,050- to 1,400-word report on the major trends in your organizations expenses and revenues in which you:

• Analyze any trends in expenses and revenueusing your own organization’s financial datayou see for the past 3 years in terms of gross profit, operating expenses, and operating income.
• Explain how this organization can curtail expenses without compromising services and quality of care.
• Interpret how your organizations reimbursement strategy can be improved to increase revenue. If it can be improved, what would it be, and how would it be implemented? If it cannot be improved, what would you recommend if your organization cannot increase its revenues?
• Calculate the current ratio (Hint: current assets current liabilities) for the past 3 yearsfor your organizationby reviewing the data in the balance sheet. What can you conclude about the trend of the liquidity of this organization? Is it positive or negative? Explain.
• Recommend how General Hospital can use this financial performance analysis from HCA to build its brand by optimizing financial performance without compromising quality, patient satisfaction, or patient safety.

Healthcare is a data-driven industry that embraces evidence-based decision making. Whether the issue is clinical or administrative, healthcare leaders must analyze problems using logic, established tools, and data. Effective leaders engage team members in the problem resolution process, and encourage a wide variety of perspectives. Once a problem is clearly defined, the leader uses an appropriate framework or tool to analyze the problem. Research, critical thinking, and team collaboration are important facets of problem solving. In this assignment you will have an opportunity to reflect upon the industry and organizational contexts and constraints that must be considered before applying a tool or framework to analyze the problem. You will consider the organization’s setting with respect to mission, strategy, operations, capacity, competencies, and culture. You will also consider legal, regulatory, ethical, and risk management issues that relate to the problem. Instructions For this assignment, you will write a 48 page double-spaced paper that: Analyzes the Problem Present your data analysis via appropriate visualizations of the data. You must create your own data visualizations. Do NOT copy-paste graphs, charts, etc. from external sources. Explain what the data suggests and the managerial implications of that data. This analysis must identify the causes of the problem. Just having data about the problem does not offer any insight into the causes. Without identifying the causes, you can’t fix the problem. Your analysis of the internal data compared to external benchmarks and best practicesthis will help you develop pragmatic recommendations. Provides a Feasible Solution Identify evidenced-based solutions that will fix the causes of the problem. Consider the organization’s capacity, capabilities, and resource constraints, as well as ethical and legal requirements. Do not offer generic solutions that are not related to the causes. Healthcare organizations have very limited resourcesso recommending actions that will not fix the problem will waste their resources. Be sure to offer evidence (data from research published in scholarly / peer-reviewed journals) that shows that the solutions are effective and efficient; i.e., the solutions are proven to work. The recommendations must be sensitive to organization context and constraintsbe sure to assess the feasibility of your recommendations. Do not propose solutions that the organization cannot implement; for example, suggesting that a small, financially challenged hospital make major investments in technology is not reasonable. Submission Requirements Your assignment should meet the following requirements: Length: 48 pages. Font and font size: 12 point, Times New Roman. Written communication: Written communication is free of errors that detract from the overall message. APA formatting: Resources and citations are formatted according to current APA style and format. See Evidence and APALinks to an external site.. Refer to the assignment rubric to ensure that you meet all criteria. To earn full points for each criterion, be sure to note the details on what constitutes distinguished performance. Competencies Measured By successfully completing this assignment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and rubric criteria: Competency 1: Evaluate problems in healthcare organizations and apply tools to improve quality and outcomes. Identify at least two appropriate tools or models for analysis of the selected problem, and provides sufficient justification. Competency 3: Construct evidence based healthcare management recommendations in compliance with personal and professional values and legal, regulatory, and ethical considerations.

Let us consider the content covered in the case studies and application of AI presented in Chapter 27, and reflect on the following questions:

1. What are the big data under consideration in these clinical scenarios and how do you see those data being used effectively with AI to generate value?
2. What lessons can we glean from these cases related to the use of new and emerging AI and machine learning technology improvements?

Create a database or spreadsheet for a work situation or a class (educational) situation. For a work related application, you may want to create a work schedule spreadsheet; for a class application, perhaps a gradebook with students and assignment grades.
