As a health administrator, your hospital has tasked you with reporting the general nature of health care administration to visiting stakeholders / shareholders. These stakeholders / shareholders are investors, but are not too versed in the significance of the U.S. health care system and its present position in social, financial, technological, and medical pioneering advances.
Write a three to five (3-5) page paper in which you:
Summarize key milestones involved in the past and present shaping and transitional dynamics behind changes in the present health care industry.
Evaluate the importance of financing and technology in health care. Provide examples to support your response.
Analyze the primary complexities and integrated social dynamics associated with changing demographics and emergent diseases (e.g., the complexities seen in the growing Latin and Asian populations, etc.).
Examine the major fluctuating and daunting challenges in health care management that mortality trends and an aging Baby Boom generation predicate.

HomeBiology homework helpReport IssueThe second part of your Student Project is a written report (7.5% of final grade). The subject of this written report will be the disease or condition that the patient presented with in your assigned Case Report. For example, the patient in the Case Report at the end of Chapter 13 presents with kidney stones (renal calculi). The purpose of this part of your Student Project is to demonstrate your ability to correctly utilize and spell medical terms in a written communication. Your report should include the following:
1. Description of the disease/condition.
2. Prevalence of the disease/condition ie how many people in the United States are affected each year, and demographics, ie what age groups are more likely to contract the disease/condition, and is it more common among certain races or sexes.
3. Etiology (cause) of the disease/condition. Sometimes this is unknown. If there are risk factors that increase the likelihood of developing the disease/condition, include them ie smoking is a risk factor for developing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
4. Diagnosis of the disease/condition ie what types of physical examinations or diagnostic tests are performed to confirm the diagnosis.
5. Treatment of the disease/condition ie what are the most common medications or therapies used.
6. Prognosis for the disease/condition ie once the patient has been diagnosed and treated, what is the expected outcome ie will the patient be completely cured, continue to have the disease or condition but be able to live a normal life, will life expectancy change, etc.
Your typewritten report should be 2 – 3 pages in length.
Grading: Please refer to the Grading Rubric posted in Blackboard.

Policy advocacy is one of the key roles of human services professionals. It differs from advocating for clients in that it looks to inform those who are responsible for policy formation, such as politicians and leaders of large-scale organizations. Whether at a national, regional, or state level, policy advocacy efforts will have broad implications for how and when human services are delivered. In today’s world of diminished resources, policy advocacy can be the difference between being funded and not having the funds needed to help your clients. By engaging in opportunities with programs and organizations that receive federal or state funding, you may further support your advocacy effects and gain greater access to necessary resources.
Post a brief description of two different human services organizations. Explain how the organizations you selected are involved in policy advocacy. Then, from each organization’s perspective, explain one benefit and one limitation of engaging in policy advocacy. Be specific and provide examples. For this Select and explore one human services organization from this week’s media presentation and one organization from your own area of interest (Mental health counseling)

Topic: Curb Bullying In Adolescents with ADHD
For this component, you will develop a presentation that articulates a convincing need for the proposal you have developed. The presentation should be engaging and appealing to your target audience(s). You should envision yourself giving this presentation before your target audience(s). This could be, for example, a boss, fellow scholars at a conference, or a grant provider.
This is your opportunity to demonstrate your understanding of the problem you have identified and the need to conduct research or implement and evaluate an intervention. Remember that you are seeking support of the proposal, so knowing your audience and tailoring your message to them is crucial. Since you will not actually deliver this presentation in person, you must create a self-sustaining presentation. A narrated presentation is strongly suggested.
The presentation should adhere to the principles of an effective presentation, and all of your sources should be cited properly. There is no minimum or maximum number of slides required. You should use your judgment to create a presentation of appropriate length that will convey all of the necessary information while keeping the attention of your audience. The post project 2 – Powerpoint first appeared on Nursing School Essays.
