Assignment Instructions
This analysis project requires you to tackle a problem within your field of study by first exploring it, its causes, and its impacts. Then, if you want, you can recommend one or more practical solutions to solve the problem.

After deciding on the problem you wish to tackle, begin building questions about it.Your goal for the analysis is to answer the questions through your sources. Finding multiple angles and perspectives is ideal so that you explore those possibilities in the final paper before settling on your recommendation. Be sure to identify what is at stake.

Here are questions to help guide your analysis:

What is the problem being addressed (explain, describe, and “prove” that it exists)?
Who is affected by this problem?
Why does this problem exist (identify the root causes)?
Why does the problem persist (identify the major factors that contribute to the problem’s ongoing presence)?
What is at stake if the problem is not solved?
If you decide to include a solution, use these questions to guide you:
Who can take action?
What should they do, exactly?
Why would this help?
What are the positive and negative aspects of your solution(s)?

PURPOSE: To analyze a problem and possibly provide a solution
AUDIENCE: Classmates, others interested in the field
LENGTH: 900 – 1,000 words (Times New Roman font). Please do not go significantly under or above the word count requirement.

What would be a first step to find the root cause of the problem of lack of teamwork?

Read and respond to the following classmates’ discussion posts. Be constructive and professional with your thoughts, feedback, or suggestions. Be sure to use at least 175 words, FULL APA references, and in-text citations.

Agree that managers should have a multi-generational understanding in order to embody well-rounded leadership. Managers encourage cooperation among various generations of employees and lead to achieve quality results. It takes a team functioning together and in sync in order to achieve the quality initiatives required,as you well point out in your post.

Class: Suppose you were the lead manager of an organization and cooperation among various employees from different generations was lacking, and as such was a barrier to making progress in quality initiative areas. What would be a first step to find the root cause of the problem of lack of teamwork?What first set of questions might you ask in your search for answers? Please discuss.

This week as we think about employee satisfaction and working together to bridge generational differences, I think it’s important that employees communicate well across departmental boundaries. Communication is an important element of bringing generational differences to a common point. In our businesses sometimes deficiencies in communication may not be addressed properly therefore supporting a continual need for improvements. This course and our material causes me to stop and think about the possibility of generational differences being part of the communication deficit; if this is true then addressing the differences and finding commonalities might be a way to support lasting solutions.

In a recent QAPI meeting with my managers, we noted problems with our screening station where employees are screened for covid 19 prior to entering the building. We have had a screening station since the pandemic began and there continue to be deviations that need to be corrected. Small the problems may seems, as all employees are being screened, they are problems none the less because of discrepancies with rules that have been set up.Brought up to my managers that when the nurse infection preventionists develop improvement strategies and educate staff, that a component that is needed is an avenue for an employee to express a concern about the process, or a grievance. This part has been left out – we have put rules into place and said “follow them.” Would like to know the reasons why some staff have deviated and aren’t going along with all processes.Without a mechanism to hear their voice how do we know if there is something we don’t see that needs to be fixed?

So in thinking about my experience and needing to understand why workers do as they do, do you think there may be generational differences in how we can best present an avenue for employees to express why the system isn’t working? Might one generation respond better to a process than another and if so, what might the solution be?

What options and procedure would you consider acceptable for collection of bad debt?

Time Value of Money

Economic uncertainty and financial instability affect the ability of patients to pay debt arising from medical bills not covered by insurance, leading to questions of medical account resolution. Health care providers are on the opposite side of this equation because patient payments affect the revenue cycle, which can vary in length depending on the size and type of organization. In reality, some patients are unable to pay the portion of their medical bills not covered by insurance, adversely affecting the organization’s bottom line.Discuss the following in regard to this:

What options and procedure would you consider acceptable for collection of bad debt?

Public Health and Epidemiology Case 2

Submit this paper in Question and Answer format. In other words, list the questions and provide a short answer to each.

Write an essay in which you first clearly identify a single major achievement in Epidemiology (e.g., Smallpox, HIV/AIDS, Tobacco Use, Cholera). Then briefly describe one important tool that is used to measure its occurrence in a population. Briefly identify one source of public health data on that issue. Finally, incorporating the concepts of risk and rates, briefly discuss at least one major factor that influenced its occurrence.

Which single achievement in Epidemiology is of particular interest to you? (Some examples include Smallpox, HIV/AIDS, Tobacco Use, and Cholera). Please write 2–3 sentences maximum.
Briefly describe that achievement in Epidemiology (1–2 paragraphs). In what era did this achievement occur? Be sure to cite sources rather than simply stating your opinion.
Briefly describe one important tool that can be used to measure its occurrence in a population,examples of Tools include surveys, surveillance, and biological monitoring.Write 2–3 paragraphs about this, and be sure to cite sources rather than simply stating your opinion.
Identify one specific source of public health data on that issue and write one paragraph about it. Provide a description of the source and a link (i.e., hyperlink or URL) directly to the data source.
Incorporating what you learned in this module about risk and rates, what would you say was one major factor that influenced the achievement of this occurrence?Write 2–3 paragraphs and be sure to cite sources rather than simply stating your opinion.
