/in /by admin** Please find attached**Leveraging Flexible Budgeting to Manage Revenue CyclesSubmission RequirementsYour assignment will be submitted in Word and Excel. • In no more than 2 pages in Word, present your responses to items. Your written work should be succinct and direct.• In Excel, you will perform the necessary calculations to answer the questions in item 2. This will allow you to present a flexible budgeting illustration that demonstrates where the true variances lie within your Income Statement line items based on the flexible budget frameworkBackgroundThe financial well-being of Healthcare providers is highly dependent on building and managing operating budgets that clearly identify the relationship between fixed and variable costs, and which can accommodate variances in patient load and billing. Over the last several weeks we have examined how costs are categorized and charged, and we have studied the relationship between “money out†(expenses) and “money in†(revenue). As we have seen, managing revenue cycles is critical in ensuring the financial sustainability of Healthcare organizations. This assignment presents an opportunity to explore the importance of having a well-designed operating budget that can accommodate variances in operating expenses and minimize revenue-cycle risks.InstructionsYou have been asked by your supervisor to analyze your division’s past financial performance and create a new budget that minimizes revenue-cycle risks through the application of flexible budgeting techniques. The objective is to allow the organization to remain profitable under as wide a range of scenarios as possible, without unduly compromising services.Previous budgets have been “static†in assigning costs, and have been inaccurate predictors of actual performance. This has led to difficulties in managing the revenue cycle. There have been periods when the organization appears to be beating expectations and periods where it is underperforming. Your professor will be present you with a scenario outlining revenues and expenses over a fixed period of time. This scenario will include a combination of fixed and variable expenses as well as information on patient loads.To complete this assignment:1. Review the current budget provided by your professor, and answer the following questions:a.) How did the organization perform on an annual basis?b.) When comparing the static budget versus actual results, which line items in the income statement are Favorable (F) or Unfavorable (U)?c.) What are the per-unit costs and contribution margins?d.) Which line items presented the greatest variances?2. Redraft the current budget in the provided in the template using flexible budgeting techniques to better accommodate variances in patient loads and create a budget that is a more accurate predictor of actual performance. After redrafting the budget, address the following: a.) Identify which line items are
now Favorable (F) or Unfavorable (U).b.) What should have been the target operating income?c.) Which line items should be further explored for inefficiencies? d.) For the line items identified in (c), makes recommendations for change.3. Identify key profitability loadsa.) Using budgeted data, how many patients and revenue dollars would the health system need to break even?b.) Using budgeted data, how many patients and revenue dollars would be required to achieve a target profit of $100,000?4. Summarize your argument for why this model is the most appropriate type for operational budgeting for your organization and explain the operational changes that would need to be implemented to use flexible budgets if the organization is used to working with static budgets.
solved Response to Sierra SimmonsI developed the competency for nursing theory
/in /by adminResponse to Sierra SimmonsI developed the
competency for nursing theory development by discussing different nursing
theorists and the framework of their theory. I specifically learned about the
Behavior System Model of Nursing, developed by Dorothy E. Johnson, which
classifies a client as a behavioral system that is influenced by internal and
external environmental factors which contribute to health promotion and
preventing illness. By assessing whether or not an imbalance is present within
the subsystems, nurses can determine how to restore and maintain a balance
between the environments and subsystems. I can apply Johnson’s theory in my
future practice when providing multidimensional care to the patient (behavioral
system) is composed of interrelated subsystems that are influenced by various
environments (physical, mental, social, cultural etc.) By assessing the
patient’s environments, I can gain insight to help determine the proper
interventions for their subsystems.In module two we
continued to learn about theories that have shaped nursing practice. I chose to
research two different theories that were developed by Nola Pender and Myra
Estrin Levine. Nola Pender, who developed the Health Promotion Model, which
focused on modifying unhealthy behaviors to promote health and enhance the
quality of life (Khodaveisi et. al, 2018). Like Johnson’s theory, she believed
that there is a direct correlation between a patient’s environment and their
behaviors. Levine’s Conservation Model of Nursing centers around the nurse’s
ability to maintain wholeness and balance by focusing on the patient’s
responses to adaptations. Levine’s model had a more proactive approach by
promoting the use of preventative measures to prepare for the physical, social,
and emotional adaptations patients’ may experience in response to changes. Both
of these models can be applied in my nursing practice to help understand the
key factors that influence a patient’s behavior and health, especially if
modified behavior can significantly improve their condition.We dissected the
different components of research by critically appraising quantitative and
qualitative research articles. Quantitative research is objective and involves
large study groups. Also, numerical data is collected and it often involves
closed-ended questions and findings that can be generally applied to wide-based
populations. Qualitative research is subjective and analyzes data gathered in
the form of surveys, interviews that are based on an individuals’ experiences.
appraisal consisted of identifying the problem, purpose, methodology, and
literature review of the research. We also discussed the framework of research
as well as the research objectives, procedures, findings, strengths, and
limitations.I developed the
competency to understand the relationship between research, theory, and
evidence-based practice by using theoretical frameworks to help guide and
develop my own research on an issue that will provide an evidence-based
solution. Research provides the basis for the development of theories, and in
turn, these theories provide the structure for new research that will yield the
best evidence-based practice. We learned how to
propose an evidence-based solution by examining different issues within nursing
practice and using research to formulate evidence-based questions. We used the
PICO format to structure our research question and performed a literature
review to gather evidence to support the need for change. My research proposal
examined whether turnover among first-year nurses can be reduced by
participating in a nurse residency program in comparison to first-year nurses
who do not participate in a nurse residency.
solved Firms understand the importance of demonstrating good citizenship, not only
/in /by adminFirms understand the importance of demonstrating good citizenship, not only in the local community but also in the U.S.A. and in the world. Corporate responsibility can take many forms, including how a company operates internally on a daily basis (creating a “green” environment) and what contributions it might make to the external community (supporting the local food bank). Corporate responsibility can mean acting responsibly and also doing things to make the world a better place. Starbucks is known for using environmentally safe products. Coca-Cola works to provide safe and potable water to people around the world. Humana promotes America’s National Parks. It is important to remember that any corporate responsibility plan (CSR) must be sustainable, must be based in reality, must be accepted and promoted by all stakeholders, and must add value to the business. The plan must support corporate goals and vision, growth, and development. Instructions Assume you are a consultant hired to build a corporate social responsibility (CSR) plan for an existing organization. Each week, you will work to create a sustainable CSR plan that promotes organizational success, adds business value, and establishes the organization as a responsible citizen. You must first select the organization for which you will build the CSR plan. The organization can be a public or private company or a not-for-profit organization. Choose carefully! I recommend you select an organization with which you are familiar and one where you can easily gather information. After making your selection, you must begin to research and gather information about this company. Direct contact is an excellent way to learn about the inner workings of any company. You should plan to interview at least one (preferably 2-3) manager or executive who works for the company. You may have to create a relationship with someone in the company to assist you with this research. In addition to this valuable direct contact, you must supplement company information through other resources: media, articles, the company’s literature, manuals, and any other secondary resources vital to the company, the community, and the industry. Validate all of your resources, including your direct contacts. As you are conducting your research, determine any industry standards, benchmarks, or CSR plans that exist. Determine what makes this company unique. Examine any company CSR plan currently in place. You should get started on this project right away. You will develop your plan weekly based on the following condensed outline. Part 1: Building a CSR Plan (Three pages with four credible sources) Provide an introduction about the company you selected. Describe the core business, mission, and vision.Describe the company’s culture and core values.Include the company’s system of motivation and rewards. Identify and describe the company’s internal and external stakeholders.Define community demographics.Reference how the company might support the community. Part 2: SWOT Analysis (Three pages with four credible sources) StrengthsWeaknessesOpportunitiesThreatsRelate the SWOT to social responsibility.Relate the SWOT to your potential CSR plan. Part 3: The CSR Proposal (Four pages with four credible sources) Develop your CSR proposalExplain how your proposal adds business value.Elaborate on any compliance issues.Include any risk management requirements.Determine how you will implement the CSR proposal to the company and any relevant stakeholders.Include any training and support needs.Include any techniques to generate and sustain stakeholder motivation.

/in /by adminSubrina GreenÂ
My confirmation bias was that I believed I saw a UFO while sitting outside of my house. I am a big conspiracy theorist and I do believe that there is alien life out there. One night I was sitting on my porch and I saw something in the sky shining so bright and it was blinking. I sat outside for about 2 hours and it was still there. I looked up I didn’t see any stars that looked like what I was looking at. I was convinced it’s a UFO. I took a zoomed-in picture on my phone and it looked very circular in the picture. Now I’m definitely convinced, so that night I went to bed and as soon as I fell asleep I woke up in chills and I had to turn my heat on. I was convinced the aliens were trying to freeze me. When I woke up the next day I told my boyfriend and my sister and they both laughed at me so I sent them the picture. My boyfriend said he didn’t believe it was an alien ship and he thinks it’s a satellite and my sister said it looked odd and it didn’t look like a star. A week or two later I saw the same thing in the sky but this time it was two so now I’m convinced it was a star and I was being paranoid based on my confirmation bias. Now I know from my critical thinking, I was using biased interpretation in which I interpreted the evidence-based on existing beliefs by typically evaluating confirming evidence differently than evidence that challenged my preconceptions. I took a photo of a star and in the picture, the star came out circular so I cannot confirm if it was a UFO that I saw.

The term confirmation bias first appeared in academic literature in the 1977 paper by Clifford Mynatt, Michael Doherty, and Ryan Tweney entitled ‘Confirmation bias in a simulated research environment: An experimental study of scientific interference’. The study was created in an attempt to demonstrate why scientists should attempt to falsify their theories – rather than confirm them. The participants were tasked with formulating a hypothesis and then presented with two environments: one in which they could “make observations which would probably confirm these hypotheses or test alternative hypotheses.†(Mynatt, 1977) Strong evidence for a confirmation bias, involving failure to choose environments allowing for alternative theories to be tested, was found.
I quite enjoy the feelings of finality and completion; because of this, I have learned, recently, that I may have been partaking in confirmation bias in an attempt to avoid cognitive dissonance.
While serving on a panel of judges, I found myself expecting a good presentation from the departments that have historically scored highly in pageantry. I did the inverse with the lower performing departments. Because of this, ordinary presentations seemed impressive from departments such as Managua, EstelÃ, and Chinandega and presentations that were better than the aforementioned from Zelaya Norte and MadrÃz seemed lacking. I became aware of my unfair decision making after sharing the media with my mother who was not aware of the each department’s history. After conferring with the other members of the panel, we came to the conclusion that in the coming years the delegate would receive an impartial, disinterested treatment if they donned numbers instead of sashes bearing the names of their departments.
Paraskevi Noulas, PsyD, a clinical assistant professor at NYU Langone Health states that “cognitive dissonance is ever-present in both the smallest, simplest examples to the deepest layers of humanity that impact the way [that] we interact with each other and view ourselves and the world.â€

I am looking for TWO things here. Â First, begin with a cited STORY (a narrative) about someone who was affected by the question at hand. Â BRIEFLY tell the story. Â It should include names, dates, places, and WHAT happened. Â You may even want to quote the affected person. Second, end with your thesis statement.
Paragraph 2: First Reason For (1/2 to 3/4 page long)
Begin with a Topic Sentence, which is YOUR REASON. Â Like your weekly interpretations, these are best when they are clear, concise, and to the point in 5-10 words.
Ideally, your second sentence will be a Quote from an Expert!
The rest of the paragraph will be facts, statistics, and expert testimony.
Paragraph 3: Second Reason For (1/2 to 3/4 page long)
Follow the same body paragraph format as paragraph 2.
Paragraph 4: First Reason Against (1/2 to 3/4 page long)
Follow the same body paragraph format as paragraph 2.
Paragraph 5: Second Reason Against (1/2 to 3/4 page long)
Follow the same body paragraph format as paragraph 2.
Paragraph 6: Conclusion: (1/4 to 1/3 page long)
Summarize the arguments. Â Do no quote; do not add new information
Your OUTLINE should follow a standard outline formatting, which includes two things:1.) ENUMERATION: Â I, A, 1, a, i
2.) SUBORDINATION: one tab indention for each lineExample:I.
    A.
         1.
              a.
                    i.  Your outline will likely look like this:II.
    A.
         1.
              a.
         2.
               a.
               b.
          3.
    B.
          1.
          2.III.
below is a visual example. You can see the level of subordination and depth of development here.
