What Health Policy Issue are You Concerned About? This assignment requires the student to initially do some thinking about what current health care problem, issue or topic is something that you (or someone you know) is interested in or concerned about. Your interest or concern must be about a health-related problem that can be addressed by government. Use the following format and components in completing the assignment: Figure 1: Steps to Determining the Health Policy Solution to Your Problem, on the next page.Identify a health care issue and describe why this issue is of concern and/or interest to you. Include evidence that supports the need for this issue to become a public policy (not an action by the healthcare industry). YOUR TOPIC SHOULD BE VERY SPECIFIC AND NARROW IN SCOPE, MAKING IT A MORE FEASIBLE AND EFFECTIVE POLICY. (Length of A (1): 2 pages)Determine what kind of public policy your healthcare issue needs. From the textbook, and what you learned from my Week 2 lecture, identify whether the policy should be a distributive or regulatory policy, and why.Applying what you have learned in the class, produce a strategy for realizing your desire to have government address your health problem or concern. Your strategy will include the following: 1. Whether (and why) the policy solution you desire is one that is best suited to:Be addressed by the federal, state, or local government. If you choose a state or local government, it must be a specific state or local (county or city) government.Originate in the legislative, executive, or judicial branch of government;Be a new or modified action by government(Length of C(1): 2 pages)2. How you plan to accomplish your desire to have government address your problem. This includes:Identification of which individuals or organizations NOT PART OF GOVERNMENT you will work with to get your issue/concern on the political agenda of policy makers in government.Determination of how best to advocate/lobby for your issue to government policymakers, including to whom in government you will be targeting your lobbying efforts, and how you plan to get their attention and support.(Length of C(2): 2-3 pages)3. Draft a Proposed Policy that outlines your problem and what government should do. Which type of public policy you choose (law, regulation, ordinance, etc.)will be based on how you answer C (1). Use the following templates for a:Law (Statute) or Ordinance: Use the “Bill Template” at: https://www.speechanddebate.org/legislation-templates/Regulation: https://www.epa.gov/web-policies-and-procedures/web-standard-regulatory-template#template (Length of C(3): 2 -3 pages) The paper should total 9-10 pages double-spaced(not including title page and references) with 1” margins, 11pt font.

I’m working on a management writing question and need an explanation to help me learn.

I need to write around a one-page summary of a small story. It’s based on a decision-making process
Here is the story:
In the fall of 1875, Hiram Smith filed a claim on a very fertile piece of land in South Dakota with the land office. Before he could put any improvements on the land, he died. A young Swede, newly immigrated, filed a counterclaim to the land at once, and by late spring of the following year had built a home and had begun to cultivate the land.
In the meantime, the widow of the original claimant was on her way West with her two daughters and her son. She built a house on the land, across a ravine from the Swede’s home, and cultivated that half of the claim. Both parties sent their claims to the Department of the Interior, but ten years went by without a decision. Both the Swede and Mrs. Smith built barns and cultivated the land intensively, each on their own side of the ravine.
A distant relative of Mrs. Smith, a minister named Scroggs, lived in a small town about two miles from the rival farms. He had been an advisor for the Swede on all matters of religion and politics since the fellow had first taken up farming in Dakota. He had often complimented the Swede on his land and had expressed his opinion at the general store that it was the best land in the West.
Scroggs had acted as arbiter for the disputants and had corresponded with the Secretary of the Interior regarding the land. One day at the general store he told the Swede that he thought the Swede’s claim would be supported. The Swede swore that no one was going to put him off the land. The next day Scroggs went to the Smith farm and showed Mrs. Smith a paper from Washington, D.C., ratifying her claim to the land. He said it would be all right for them to take possession. Young Smith hitched a team to the plow and went over on to the Swede’s side of the farm. Scroggs, Mrs. Smith, and the two daughters went along: Scroggs on his horse. Young Smith had just started plowing when the Swede ran out of his house with a gun and shot him.
Two more shots killed the horses at the plow. Scroggs galloped off and shouted that he was going after the marshal. When the marshal and a posse arrived, they found the Swede had killed the three women and had then committed suicide. Scroggs, being the only relative of the dead woman, inherited both pieces of land.Should Scroggs be held responsible for the killings?

Question: Track how long it takes you to complete your decision-making process in this step. Selecting Rational Model: outline how you came to your decision.
I need to summarize in my post: the time spent, the decision model used, and the conclusion of my decision 

I. Synthesis Paper: This paper is designed to meet the General Education writing requirement. The substance as well as the manner of organization and expression of the information and ideas will be evaluated. In other words, the content as well as the style and grammar of the paper will be graded. To encourage each student to advance his/her writing competence, the assessment of all papers will include suggestions for improvement on papers for future courses.
Option 1: Explain the history (Origins), beliefs, rituals and practices of one religion not covered in this course, including any New Religious Movement; you may choose from Daonism, Confucianism, Shinto, Wicca, Baha’i, Rastafarianism, Theosophy, Jehovah’s Witnesses, or Cao Dai, etc. (Please do not choose Scientology).If you choose this option, you need to address the following 5 points:
1. What culture produced this religion?
2. If there was a founder, and if anything can be known of the founder’s      life, what factors caused this person to found this religion?
3. If there are scriptures or sacred texts, what do they tell us about this religion?
4. What have been the major historical developments of this religion?
5. How do participants practice this religion? What are the religious rituals, behaviors, and events that shape how they live their lives?
Option 2:You may choose to focus on a specific practice from a religious tradition we are not covering in this course. Some examples are: Vision Quest in the Native American Tradition; The primal religions; The concept of soul in different religions; World religions with no concept of God; the Buddhist concept of emptiness; the two paths described in the Upanishads; Mormon Weddings; Quaker Meetings; B’hai Temples.
Finally, you may choose to study some additional areas exploring the role of religious practices in society: Examples are: The 9/11 Islamic Center Controversy; Restrictions on Churches Receiving Tax Exempt Status; and The Wearing of Religious Head Garb by Disney Employees.II.Comparative Research PaperThe final research paper requires the comparison of a practice from at least two religious traditions. Some examples are: A comparison of Marriage preparation in the Hindu and Jewish Traditions; Buddhist and Muslim Wedding Ceremonies Compared; Group Gathering for Centering Prayer and Zen Meditation: similarities and differences; Polytheistic religions and mythology: similarities in myths and images of gods; Monotheistic religions: similarities and differences.; The role of drumming in  Native American and African Religious Traditions; Catholic and Protestant Church Interiors Compared; Two walking practices: The Labyrinth in Episcopal Churches and Buddhist walking; Compare the Ramadan and Lent.

In Lifespan Development, you examined several different domains of development, including physical, cognitive, emotional, and social development. Each of these domains is informed by its own theories and research and ultimately has its own unique trajectory. However, these areas of development also are deeply embedded in and influenced by one another. One of the complexities within human development has to do with the ways that different aspects of development interact to shape the person an individual is becoming.For example, there is a body of research that looks at social implications for adolescents based on the timing they go through puberty. Every adolescent can be categorized as being either early, on-time, or late with respect to puberty in reference to his or her peers. Research has identified significant implications of the timing of puberty for adolescents’ social and emotional development. For example, girls who go through puberty earlier than their peers, on average, tend to lack self-confidence, have higher anxiety and depression levels, have poorer body image, and hold fewer leadership positions (Galveo et al., 2014; Compian, Gowen, & Hayward, 2009). They were also more likely to engage in risk-taking behaviors, including drinking and early sexual activity. Alternatively, it is late-maturing boys who struggle more than their early maturing counterparts. Boys who go through puberty later than average tend to earn less in adulthood, be more anxious and depressed, and experience more bullying and teasing (Benoit, Lacourse, & Claes, 2013).In the Assignment this week, you are going to explore some of these interconnections between social and emotional development focusing on the preschool years. To Prepare: Observe children under the age of 5 in a public place for at least 15 minutes. For example, you could go to a park or a play area at a local mall. If you do not have access to a public place where children might be playing (e.g., you are on military deployment), you may find a video on the Internet of children playing and submit this to your Instructor for approval to analyze in place of the live observation. Select 2 or 3 children on which to focus your observations. Take notes on each child’s specific temperament and play behaviors with peers. The Assignment (3–4 pages): APA Describe the setting of your observation. Summarize the aspects of each child’s temperament that you observed. Then summarize each child’s play behaviors (group, solitary, activities, etc.). Explain how each child’s temperament affected his or her peer interactions. Please make sure that the majority of your paper focuses on interpreting your observations through research on temperament, play, and their interplay.

Your assignment this week you will be acting as a health care administrator who has been asked to investigate ways to increases the number of patients who use a clinic.You will be creating an operational plan using the template provided. If you are unsure please contact me. You will fill in the template with your own information and ideas.One objective three strategies for that objective to increase clinic volume. The information in the template about Dr. Oz is just an example, do not directly copy the information into yours, it is simply a guide. You will enter your own ideas and information. Please read the objectives carefully, once you have completed the template then add a reflection onto the template. Do not submit 2 separate assignments.Submit both parts together This template will be used in week 6 as well, you will add to it next week.Operational Plan for Increasing Volume Start Assignment:Project management is a significant portion of the workload for healthcare administrators. Part of successful project management involves creating an operational plan that outlines the goals and objectives of the organization and can provide clarification when faced with a difficult decision. It also indicates responsibility for certain tasks, time frames, budgets, and strategies.Imagine you are a healthcare administrator who has been asked to investigate ways to increase the number of patients who use the clinic. Use the attached template and create an operational plan that identifies the following:1. Objective: How can we increase patient volume? Why should we do it? What can be gained? What outcomes are we hoping to achieve? You must list at least three objectives for your clinic. Some examples include purchasing ad space in newspapers, creating a clinic page on social media outlets, and recruiting a well-known physician to practice at your facility.2. Strategies: Break down the objective into measurable tasks for completion3. Time frames for completion4. Accountable member(s) of the team5. Estimated budge6. Total project costNow, based on your operational plan, compose a reflection and reflect on the following:1. Is the plan feasible? Why or why not?2. Are there areas where you could reduce or increase your budget? Which areas? How does this affect the outcome?3. Is the proposed cost or the initiative worth the return on investment? Why or why not? If not, what alternate plans could you research to achieve the same goal?4. How does having the plan completed affect your practice?Your paper must be formatted in accordance with APA 7th edition guidelines, and you must use at least two scholarly references with appropriate citations. Your reflection should be at least 2 to 3 pages in addition to the template you submit.
