HU260 W6 Assignment Organization Guide
Option A

Using the Eight Elements of Reasoning that were outlined in week two (purpose, problem, information, concepts, assumptions, inferences, points of view, implications, or consequences) choose a news article and break it down according to those elements. Make sure you address each of these elements. If one of these elements does not apply to your article (rare), address that in your essay and explain how the article could have been improved by including it or how the author is justified in leaving it out.
Option B
Describe how each of the Eight Intellectual Standards (clarity, accuracy, precision, relevance, depth, breadth, logic, and fairness) were used or not used in the article, supported by an example. If one of these standards does not apply to your article (rare), address that in your essay and explain how the article could have been improved by including it or how the author is justified in leaving it out.
For either option you choose:
Write an introduction identifying the reasons for choosing either Option A or Option B and justify your reasoning.
In the conclusion of your essay, describe how you feel the article is biased.
Keep in mind, for either option you are being asked to analyze the article/author itself/himself/herself, NOT the topic discussed. Do not include your own opinion/position on the topic being addressed.
Your completed assignment should be 500-750 words in length. If you use sources in your writing, be sure to identify them. If you use any direct language from a source, be sure to place those words in quotation marks.
Your assignment should adhere to the stated page length requirement for the week and use APA style formatting including a title page and reference section. You should use Times New Roman, 12pt. font, double-spaced lines, and one inch margins. A description of APA style and the APA template can be found in the Writing Center.

Transportation logistics management (318)

Analyze and then discuss the FAA press releases, the document can be found in the TLMT 318 Course Resources folder in the resource area Be careful to analyze, not react to, the list of proposed fines, there is a lot of information to be gleaned from careful analysis.Analysis requires calculation not observation so you will need to set measurable parameters and then do the calculations. Reading the fines it is easy to recognize that many of the fines were based upon the leaking packages, that is observation not analysis. Saying that some percentage of the total number fines represented leaking packages is analysis; saying that most of the incidents were caught by ground handling personnel is observation, saying that a specific percentage of all of the fines represent cases where ground handling personnel identified the problem is analysis. You are required to do analysis.

 

For your discussion:

 

A. Basic results of your analysis and a discussion of your findings based upon the scientific analysis you have conducted. this requires mathematical calculations and development of percentages for criteria you select.

Next, suggest one (1) technique which you could use to overcome the difficulty that you selected. Provide a rationale to support your response.
From the second e-Activity, determine the key reasons why change management in health care IT is a hot-button issue. Next, among the eight (8) fundamental stages for the process of change described by Kotter, select the most significant stage, and suggest one (1) way to complete the stage in question. Provide a rationale to support your response.
DUE TO ME NOT HAVING MY BOOK .. HERE IS ANOTHER GUEST ANSWER…

To develop an IT budget, one must decide first what items need to be covered. The list should include things such as payroll to run the IT, software, and hardware that is needed. The budget must also define the cost of running the IT department for a health care organization. The budget itself may also change depending on adding or subtracting costs.
There are two major areas of concern when establishing a budget- the first of which is deciding how to continue being competitive with the new Medicare/Medicaid limitations. The second challenge is the consumer aspect- if they factor into the budget. When forming the budget they have input from many areas- this can include the CEO, CFO and the finance department. (Andrews, 2009)
The one aspect of the budget process is determining what the final budget will be in relation to the insurers. The insurance companies have new laws put into place – which can change reimbursement very quickly. This could change a budget rather quickly and they would need to rethink their strategies.
The reason why management in health care IT is such a hot button issue is due to the constantly changing environment. With new health care laws, new factors are always being taken into consideration. Training always needs to be implement and revised with the new changes.
The eight fundamental steps for the process of change are increase urgency, build guiding teams, get the vision right, communication for buy-in, enable action, create short-term wins, don’t let up and make it stick. Of these 8 steps the one that is the most significant is get the vision right. When any organization needs to complete a goal they need to define that goal explicitly. There should generally not be any grey areas, and everyone should understand what needs to be accomplished. To complete the stage in question, team leaders should get together and write down all aspects of the goal. This should then be distributed to the staff/employees.
(Campbell, (2008)

  • The board has called a meeting to see how the new product for MM is coming along. Michelle calls you about the meeting.
    “I like your ideas for branding the product,” she says. “I think the board wants an overview now of the whole process we are using for developing the new product. Can you do that?”
    “Thanks for the comments about the branding strategy,” you say. “I tried to be creative with my approach. I’d be glad to show the board the process we are using to develop the new product.”
    “Great,” she says. “Why don’t you do what you did last time? The 10–15 slides that you presented worked well in the 30-minute time slot.”
    “In the past I’ve done similar presentations and have a format that really works. The board has been very receptive to the flow of the information and I think it will work for us for this presentation too,” she adds. “I’ll instant message the information to you after our meeting. The flow might work for you also.”
    “Great,” you respond. “I’ll get started on this first thing in the morning.”
    When you get back to your office, the instant message from Michelle is on your screen. It reads:
