‘ 7 Day NHS’ is it required and financially feasible for NHS

' 7 Day NHS' is it required and financially feasible for NHS

For my MBA in Healthcare the dissertation topic is to assess and evaluate the viability and suitability of ‘7 Day NHS’. The government has promised to make NHS a fully functional 7-day service. 

This would be very expensive, stretched workforce as there are not enough GPs/ hospital doctors to provide such a service for 7 days.

As part of my dissertation I would like to evaluate the research into the actual benefit of having a fully functional 7-day health service, if at its being done in other countries. Its actual benefits- as the cost cutting from essential services to provide a 7 days service ma may compromise of quality of acre and will it actually benefit people’s health. Which is doubtful

At present NHs is actually working 7 days for Emergency services and making other non-urgent departments open 7 days will not be of any actual benefit to people. Example a Skin / dermatology department working for 7 days will not make any huge difference to the well-being of patients than a fully functional Emergency department which would actually save lives.

 This assignment consists of two (2) sections: a written project plan, and a project plan that is created through the use of MS Project. You must submit both sections as separate files for the completion of this assignment. Label each file name according to the section of the assignment it is written for. Imagine that you have been hired as a project manager assisting in the development of a mobile application and cloud-based solution which is designed to streamline your organization’s delivery operation. As project manager, you are to manage the development and release of the mobile client platform in the cloud-based infrastructure that will use GPS tracking to track the shipment and delivery of goods in trucks across the United States.The mobile client will have three (3) modules consisting of a search customer screen, search address screen, and confirm delivery screen. Programmers have reviewed the requirements and estimate that each module will take 200 hours to complete by one (1) programmer.In addition to delivering the mobile-based application, your project will require upgrading the internal network and application infrastructure to a cloud-based model to support the new mobile platform. This effort will require your team to procure network appliances to optimize the security factors of the cloud-based platform. One last component of the project scope is to provide training to operation support staff and fifty (50) truck drivers staffed across four (4) regions of the U.S. Your project team consists of two (2) programmers, a technical writer, four (4) technical trainers, two (2) network engineers, and one (1) system administrator. Section 1: Written Project Plan Write a three to four (3-4) page paper in which you:

  1. Determine the factors that must be considered and observed throughout the WBS development process and explain why.
  2. Create a WBS for the scope of the project. Note: The WBS must be in indented format as shown in Figure 5.5B in Chapter 5 of the text.
  3. Analyze the various activities required for this project and provide an estimate of duration for each activity based on the number of resources available for the project. Include assumptions and basis for each estimate. 
  4. Recommend the estimation technique that should be used for each activity (i.e., PERT, Delphi, Analogy, Expert Judgment, or Rule of Thumb).
  5. Determine the major milestones that the project will encounter.

Models Of Creativity

Models Of Creativity

Respond to at least two of your classmates’ posts. In your responses, consider asking questions about their posts to encourage further conversation. Read (or experience) the stories presented by the students in the class, and identify at least two stories that resonate with your own experiences. Offer some words of commiseration and provide some words of wisdom to encourage future creative endeavors. As with previous discussions, though two replies is the basic expectation, for deeper engagement and learning, you are encouraged to provide responses to any comments or questions others have given to you. This will further the conversation and provide you with opportunities to demonstrate your content expertise, critical thinking, and real world experiences with this topic. 

Week 8 Summary Paper – Overcoming The Global Achievement Gap

Week 8 Summary Paper – Overcoming The Global Achievement Gap

Refer to the video, Overcoming the Global Achievement Gap, link in this week's Readings and Resources. This video is longer than most we have viewed during this course, but it is an excellent video that can help us wrap up this course in global leadership.

Dr. Wagner says we have an affliction in education in this country; he calls it "Answer-itis." He summarizes essential educational challenges we face and proposes Seven Survival Skills for Career, College, and Citizenship. He believes every student must have these skills to succeed, and he presents some information about education that is very different from what we have understood in the past. Despite the microphone feedback in the video, be assured you will find the message far outweighs the microphone.

As you view the video, think about these questions:

  1. How will Dr. Wagner's message impact you as a school principal?
  2. What are the two problems he believes we face today as educators?
  3. We are organized for "timeless learning." What does Dr. Wagner mean by that term?
  4. He says that technology is a "double-edged sword." Explain that statement and elaborate on whether you agree or disagree.
  5. Summarize the essential challenges that Dr. Wagner says we face. Choose at least two of these challenges and explain how you will address them in your role as a school leader.
  6. What were the three core principals with which Dr. Wagner closes his address?
  7. Add anything else that resonated with you from the video and explain why.

Write a one-to-two page paper summarizing the answers to the questions above and anything else you want to add. Remember, the expectation is that your writing be of graduate-level quality. Be sure to use correct spelling, grammar, and punctuation with a strong introduction and conclusion.
