In this milestone, you will submit an analysis of how the company in the case study is noncompliant and the strategies (general, not specifics) to move it toward compliance. Specifically the following critical elements must be addressed: Health Regulations and Laws Ramifications: In this section of your final project, you will finish your preparation by reviewing and explaining the ramifications for the organization if it decides to wait on addressing its recent violations regarding technology use. Determine how violating health regulations and laws regarding technology could impact the finances of the institution if these violations are not addressed. Be sure to support your response with examples. Determine how violating health regulations and laws regarding technology could impact the daily operations of the institution if these violations are not addressed. Be sure to support your response with examples. Determine how violating health regulations and laws regarding technology could impact the security of the health information in the institution if these violations are not addressed. Be sure to support your response with examples.

For Final Project Milestone One, you analyzed Bellevue Hospital, and in your Module Four Worksheet, you practiced completing a very basic SWOT analysis. Now, for this second milestone, due in Module Five, you will conduct a full situational analysis (a comprehensive SWOT analysis) to identify the internal and external market factors that impact the Bellevue Hospital. Then, you will propose a new service to market for the organization based on those internal and external factors, and generate a marketing goal for this newly proposed service. Throughout this milestone, apply the marketing fundamentals of conversion of consumers to customers. Directions First, review the text readings and course resources you have studied so far. Then, review your Final Project Milestone One and Module Four Worksheet submissions and instructor feedback for those submissions. Please Note: The SWOT analysis you completed in the Module Four Worksheet is one method by which to conduct a situational analysis. Use this process to assist you as you complete the situational analysis in this milestone. Also, refer back to the Bellevue: Community Health Needs Assessment to inform your analysis. Next, within 23 pages, conduct a situational analysis that analyzes the internal and external market factors that impact Bellevue Hospital. In addition, propose a new service to market for the organization and develop marketing goals for this newly proposed service. The paper should explain how the newly proposed marketing goals align with the mission, vision, and strategic goals of the organization. You will use the SMART goal framework (specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and timely) when stating your marketing goals. The following critical elements must be addressed: Situational Analysis: In this section of the marketing plan, you will be conducting a needs analysis to identify and propose a service for the organization. Analyze the internal (strengths and weaknesses) and external (opportunities and threats) market factors impacting the healthcare organization. Propose a new service to market for this organization based on what you learned from the Bellevue: Community Health Needs Assessment. Include an explanation as to whether it is addressing an opportunity or weakness from the market factor analysis. Note: refer back to your SWOT analysis from Module Four. Develop a marketing goal for the newly proposed service, applying the SMART goal framework. Consider: What might be a specific goal be? How is the goal going to be measured? How are the goals achieved (be specific)? Are they realistic? What is the timeframe? For example: The service will admit 45 new patients every fiscal quarter, which will be measured by the organizations census, reaching at least 5% of the proposed target population by the end of the fiscal year. Using details, justify the alignment of the marketing goal to the mission, vision, and strategic goals of the organization. Please be clear in your response. Identify and analyze the competition specific to your newly proposed service. Evaluate how the current marketing strategies used by the organization adhere to industry-specific ethical criteria. Be sure to integrate and apply what you learned from the course material about ethics in Modules Three and Four. Within the discussions, include at least 5 peer-reviewed journal articles that are no more than five years old to support your arguments, thoughts, and opinions.

This assignment supports the following objective:

• Examine the different healthcare delivery systems.

Unique Learning Outcome

• Understand which healthcare services are provided through inpatient and outpatient facilities.

In Unit 2, we learned about the role of primary care facilities. In this Unit, we have learned more about hospital structures and services. This assignment will demonstrate your knowledge on how each of these delivery models serves patient needs.

Picture yourself as an administrator for a small community hospital. You need to create a flowchart to be used for patient education purposes. The objective of this flowchart is for prospective patients to understand where to seek care based on their medical needs. Include the following in your flowchart:

• Hospital services
• At least three (3) clinical care departments within a hospital
• Health conditions treated within these departments
• Primary care services
• At least three (3) services offered by primary care practices
• Health conditions treated within primary care practices

APA requirements: Title and reference pages, two references.

You may use the flowchart template in the example provided or create one of your own design.

This discussion supports the following objective:

• Examine the different healthcare delivery systems.

Please complete the following steps for your discussion post and response.

Services offered through a hospital can include inpatient care, intensive care (ICU), surgery, emergency care, outpatient services, and more. While some facilities encompass all of these services, other facilities may feature only one or two. For example, a micro hospital, surgery center, cancer treatment center.

• As health care continues to evolve, how do you think health care facilities will adapt?
• Will facilities offer more services/departments, or will they become more specialized, perhaps even reducing some services?

Please be sure to validate your opinions and ideas with citations and references in APA format.

1. Clearly Address BOTH Discussion Questions (Content 10 pts)

Your initial post should fully respond to:

1? How healthcare facilities will adapt as healthcare evolves

Consider trends such as:

• Growth of outpatient and ambulatory care
• Telehealth expansion
• Value-based care models
• Population health management
• Technology integration and digital health

2? Whether facilities will expand services or become more specialized

You must take a position and explain your reasoning:

• Will hospitals broaden services?
• Will specialization increase (e.g., micro hospitals, surgical centers)?
• Could both trends occur simultaneously?

Avoid general statements provide supported explanations.

2. Connect Your Ideas to Healthcare Delivery Systems (Analysis 10 pts)

This discussion supports the objective:

Examine different healthcare delivery systems.

Strong posts explain why system changes are occurring, such as:

• Cost containment pressures
• Patient-centered care models
• Access and efficiency needs
• Workforce and resource allocation
• Shifts from inpatient to outpatient care

Ask yourself:

What system-level forces are driving these changes?

3. Support Opinions with Evidence

Even though this is an opinion-based discussion, your ideas must be supported by:

• Course materials
• Scholarly research
• Healthcare industry reports

Evidence transforms opinion into academic analysis.

4. Use Course Materials Your APA Advantage

Reminder:

Unit readings already include APA 7thformatted references.

Benefits:

• Sources are credible and validated.
• APA formatting is already correct.
• You only need to paraphrase and cite appropriately.

This is the easiest way to meet both Analysis and APA rubric expectations.

7. Include APA Citations (APA 4 pts)

If referencing concepts or research:

• Include in-text citations.
• Provide a reference list.
• Use unit references when possible to reduce formatting errors.

PART 1 (worth 20%) (DUE Week 8) For this assignment, your objective as the student will be to

design a case study around one of the important issues discussed in this course that you may

encounter as a paramedic, beyond the biomedicalized approach that is the primary focus of most

paramedic education.

Example topics:

Sexual assault

Trafficking

Elder abuse

Child abuse

Intimate partner violence

Multiple casualty incidents

Disaster response

Disability

Chronic pain

Homelessness

Substance use/addiction

Mental illness/crisis

Any other topic approved by instructor

1. Choose one of the issues covered in this class (we may or may not have covered it yet),

and research different multimedia that conveys the experiences of a person or people

with lived experience of this challenge. It may be a podcast, a video, a written story,

film, poetry, etc. This will be the starting point for creating your case study, write a

(maximum) 1 page summary of the source and what you learned from this media.

Some possible reflection topics:

How did learning from someone with direct experience enhance your knowledge as a future

paramedic and allow us to find a deeper understanding of this issue?

How do you think about this topic differently than you did prior?

HBCI 208 ASSIGNMENT: CASE STUDY, REFLECTION AND PRESENTATION Are there any ethical or other challenges associated with asking people to teach us about

their own personal trauma, and what are some ways to navigate this challenge?

How can the psychosocial needs of patients be best integrated into calls of varying degrees

of severity/acuity without sacrificing lifesaving or critical patient care?

How might a call involving this issue be complicated by other intersecting social

determinants, like age, gender, race, etc?

2. Develop a case study or scenario to provide an example of a call involving this issue,

providing a detailed history of the event, scene observations, safety concerns, initial

impressions. Leave time for learners to reflect, and possible questions.

The case study should unfold in a logical fashion, providing information as one might expect in

chronological fashion, what might you ask to find out incident history, patient history, events that

led up to it. What are good and bad questions to ask, what types of nonverbal communication are

important? Explain how you might address each area.

After explaining how you would manage the call, assess the situation, conclude your case study

with a plan for how to manage the situation. Basic patient care can be presented where relevant

(example what to do with patient injuries or clothing), but a detailed treatment plan is not required.

The focus should be on your immediate care for the patients physical and mental wellbeing,

getting information, and the safety of everyone.

3. PRESENTATIONS (worth 10%) (WEEK 11): Find a group of 2-3 and deliver your case

study to each other, ask questions, and let them navigate how they might manage the

situation. Provide them with feedback. Among your group, choose your favourite case

study, make improvements where required, and present it to the rest of the class.

Must include a visual element (whiteboard, slides, scenario actors etc).

Within the Discussion Board area, write 300500 words that respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. This will be the foundation for future discussions by your classmates. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas.

For this Discussion Board, please complete the following:

Your coworkers are interested in learning about the many online federal and state healthcare databases and the different types of statistical information available in each database. Like other healthcare organizations, Choice Hospital wants to maintain its financial stability and improve the quality of patient care. The new chief executive officer (CEO) of Choice Hospital would like to understand better utilization rates and other performance measures that can be used to track and demonstrate quality improvement. As the healthcare assistant (HCA), you and your team are asked to conduct preliminary research in the following areas:

• Identify databases for statistical information on the utilization rates and other measures of quality performance (e.g., average length of stay [ALOS], patient wait times, and death rates), and select a healthcare statistic.
• Define your chosen healthcare statistic, and explain how it was calculated.
• Explain why research questions are essential and how the data obtained from research questions are used for informed decision making.
• Describe hypothesis testing and how it is used in research.

This is a four part project. Part 1-Select a hospital-acquired condition (HAC) that is relevant to a healthcare context with which you are familiar. Create a two to three page report that includes the research-based explanation of the background of a problem associated with your chosen HAC, as well as develop appropriate research problem and purpose statements. My school uses Pangram and TI.
