Hello All:

With professional licensing there is a responsibility to earn continuing education credits per licensing board specifications. Business leaders should consider and plan for professional development and continuing education for health care professionals. Walsh (2015) presents a positive correlation between the worth of professional development and its high costs, as well as its importance in securing a work force.

Since it’s costly for a health care entity to provide professional development, and since education is mandatory to support licensed health care workers, then let’s think about benefits that are reaped. When a business absorbs the cost of professional training, then the result is an educated work force that can put into practice what’s been learned. The expectation is increase quality.

Class: When a business covers the cost of continuing education for licensed staff, what are some ways that (in addition to supporting license renewals and a compliant work force) benefits of the education might be experienced? How might higher quality be measured; as dollars are spent on workers’ professional development does quality within the organization increase proportionally and how might this be measured? Can you think of some examples?

As we have seen in the text and lecture, the 8th Amendment guarantees reasonable bail. However, in this journal, you’re asked to consider what that means. Remember that bail is for those who have been charged with a crime, but not convicted of it. If you are charged, the judge may remand you to jail unless you put up money or collateral to guarantee you will show up to trial. Some contend that this creates a system in which we have two tracks one for those who have the means and can afford bail and one for those who cannot and must sit in jail for months or even years awaiting trial. For this journal, you are asked to read this piece by a public defender (a defense attorney who works for clients who, usually, otherwise can’t afford one). In this piece, she outlines the reasons she thinks the money bail system is so broken that it should be ended.

Read the piece and consider how you feel about this topic. Should we end cash bail? As you read (and write), consider what the constitutional requirement for reasonable bail means and how it applies to the arguments made by the author.

Project Status Report Template. 

Each group will prepare a project status report template.  The templates will be evaluated against several criteria, including:

General information does the status report provide general information about the project, who prepared the report, the start and end dates of the project, and the reporting period for the status report.

Overall Project Status is it easy for the reader to discern the overall status of the project health as it relates to project objectives and constraints? 

Work is it easy for the reader to know how much work (e.g., WBS elements) has been accomplished as it relates to the scope baseline?  Does it show what work is planned to be accomplished in the next reporting period?

Schedule is it easy for the reader to understand, using metrics such as SPI or SV or other measures, the status of the project as it relates to the schedule baseline.  Are milestones listed and do they show the planned versus actual start dates?

Budget Is the project adhering to the cost baseline? 

Issues and active risks Is it easy for the reader to understand and appreciate project risks and/or any new issues (unknown unknowns) that are under the watchful eye of the project team?

Key Performance Indicators does the status report show key project performance indicators that are used by the organization to compare with other projects in a balanced scorecard format?

Now that youve identified the organizations SWOT, you need to determine the project and its objectives and metrics. This project should be based on an unmet opportunity for the organization, or to minimize a potential threat. What does the organization need to do to advance its goals and/or expand its competitive advantage? How will you measure their progress?

Use the to:

• Create at least 3 measurable project objectives for each quadrant of the scorecard based on your analysis.
• Determine targets, timelines, and metrics for each objective.

Explain the following in 350-525 words on the Balanced Score Card Template:

• Why these objectives are appropriate for the project.
• Why these metrics and timelines are appropriate for your strategic plan.

Note: Review your chosen organization in the Case Studies folder on the main course page in Blackboard.

THE WRITING ASSIGNMENT
Human-caused global climate change is the biggest environmental challenge we are faced with today. Your aunt is a climate skeptic and you have decided to use your understanding of science to explain to her why the earths climate is changing, describe the major biological effects of climate change, and discuss how technology can be a solution to this problem. You should start with a brief description of the greenhouse effect and how carbon dioxide is a natural part of the carbon cycle. Then explain how our use of fossil fuels is disrupting the carbon cycle and enhancing the greenhouse effect. You may want to look ahead to the Week 7 readings for this information. What are the major ecological effects associated with climate change? What are the human health concerns associated with climate change? Describe at least one example of each. And finally, what can we do to reduce our impact on the climate through technological innovation? Include a description of a minimum of two technological solutions.

Next, discuss the following:

• Explain how you will determine who is eligible for your program.
• Indicate which assessment methods and instruments you will use to determine this.
• Determine which treatment model(s) you would use. Support your choice with information on relevant evidence-based practices.
