Pathway #3

 
Please follow the instructions and comments on the paper. Then Add 2 more pages of part #3. Last time you only wrote part 2 and didnt even include part 1!!! i need all papers to be included in part #3. You can not change subjects now you can onlt try to blend them all together. Im going to send you part 1 and 2 again to adjust and blend together. THEN ADD PART #3. In part #3 Explain how the pathway impacts the health condition in a high income country and a low income country. Compare and contrast the countries. Show data verifying the HIC and LIC status of each country. Tables and graphs might be useful to compare patterns in the two countries. Critically discuss how the pathway affects the population levels of the health condition. Explain reasons why the patterns/effects exist in the two countries. Tell us why you chose these two countries to compare. (2-4 pages)

……………………… Those are the paper format please follow: Please apply those on all parts of the assignment!! Organization and Format of the Paper The numbers of pages per part are suggestions, but the paper should be about 6-10 pages excluding references. There should be at least 10 references, mainly from professional peer-reviewed journals. Limit references to websites to less than 1/4 of all references, and include the name and date of the web site you accessed. Pages must be 1.5 spaced with paragraphs indented but no lines skipped between paragraphs. The final copy of your paper will be accompanied by your “Turn It In” report (an app on Canvas) detailing the percentage of your paper that copies other people’s work. Instructions will be given to you about how to use this program. You will have the ability to submit your paper to “Turn It In” as part of your own drafting and revising process. The instructor needs to see the report of your final complete version, the one you submit for grading. Put your name in the document not just in the file name, that way you are showing me that you take responsibility for your work. Put the date of submission in the document. Put your last name (family name) in the filename of the document you submit, preferably something like Lastname-part1, Lastname-part 2, etc. Please use section headings that clearly indicate the 4 parts of your paper. Include page numbers in the document. Submit each part electronically to Canvas at the place set up by the TA to receive them. Provide a professionally prepared list of references for your paper. Referencing Guidelines for Global Health Overview Pathways Paper Scientific reports often assume that “the scientist knows nothing” and must reference each fact as it appears in the paper. Other scientists want to know where you got your information, so they can check it for authenticity and see if they accept the facts you present. The following example shows unclear and incomplete referencing for stated facts: “Recent rates of breastfeeding (ever) are 73.9% in the United States and 90.3% in Canada, compared to 97.1% in Kenya and 98.5% in Peru (data from the CDC and WHO).” Which reference belongs to which rate? Each fact/number needs its own reference: for example, “73.9% in the United States (reference A) and 90.3% in Canada (reference B)”. 8 GHO-task-guidelines-2015, bjs, aje, 9/14/2015 4:15 PM Accurate information means referencing where the facts you use came from. Statements like “Studies show…” or “1 billion people in the world are undernourished” need references. If a whole paragraph of information is derived from the same source, please put the reference at the start of the paragraph with a sentence like: “The following information comes from Jones et al. (2015).” The style of having the reference for an entire paragraph of data at the end is not acceptable. If information comes from different sources in the paragraph, then put each reference in place for each piece of information. Anything obtained from a web site needs the accessed Internet address and the date when the accessing occurred, not just the date of the source document. Writing Style Avoid journalistic (subjective) writing using words like “tremendous”, “horrible”, “large”, “many”, and provide data instead with comparisons to show how big a difference there is between some standard reference (or what is considered “optimal”) and the “non-normative”. For example, “exclusive breastfeeding rates for the first 6 months of life are 4 times higher in Peru than in the USA (reference C).” For a scientific paper – you need references for subjective thoughts, and if you are quoting, then use quotation marks, or use data to make the case along with proper citation for the data. For scientific writing we are advocating that students use a style where the “point” or “bottom line” is the first sentence in the paragraph, and the sentences in the rest of the paragraph provide information in support of the assertion. I want to read the main point, and then fact, fact, fact, in support of that point…each with its own reference at the point of stating the facts (if they each come from a different source). Here’s a good example: “Typically the problem of domestic violence is more pronounced for women, but it is a problem for both men and women. According to the CDC, about 24.3% of women and 13.8% of men “have experienced severe physical violence by an intimate partner…at some point in their lifetime” (“Domestic and Intimate Partner Violence”, 2013). Furthermore, “9.4% of women have been raped by an intimate partner” and about twice as many women (16.9%) than men (8.0%) have experienced some other form of sexual violence (“Domestic and Intimate Partner Violence”, 2013). Finally, one third of “female homicide victims [are] murdered by their current or former partner (“Domestic Violence: Statistics & Facts”, 2015).” I will attach some chapters and powerpoints to guide you through the paperless

PLEASE FIX PART 1 and 2 based on the comments and then blend together, THEN START part#3. MAKE sure you refer to the documents i attached in the past order as well. VERY IMPORTANT!

Brief about company:
Face of Man Private Limited was founded by Chris Chua & Adam Chua both are twin brothers. The
company was established on 1993 & has been around for 22 years. 10 years into the opening James
Teo join in as the third partner. Face of Man Private Limited provides skin care treatment for man, it
has three stores located in Singapore. Idea for the business was from Chris Chua.
Questions:
1. How you came upon starting your business venture?
Ans: When I (Chris Chua) was in the army, I was a medic working with doctor Singh, Most of
the NS Men had skin problems due to poor hygiene & couldn’t seek proper treatments as
there isn’t any, only option was that doctor Singh prescribed sulphur cream or Antibiotics
which wasn’t much effective but caused scaring. From my observations Acne was a skin
disease & man couldn’t get the treatment as to social constraints from society and doesn’t
feel comfortable in seeking help as it’s not manly. After raising this issue to Doctor Singh, he
said that there isn’t any salon that caters to man in Singapore but in the UK there are many.
Which allowed me to embark to UK for further research and studies. I had financial
constraints as my family wasn’t well off and my brother Adam had to pay for my studies
abroad not covering my daily expenses which led me in seeking for a job. I was offered a job
with a duck rice stall and was provided with lodging for two years during the course of my
studies. I left home out of impulse because my parents were doubting my ability to succeed.
After 2 years I graduated with a diploma in skin care. Working for the duck rice restaurant
only allowed me for lodging, meals & expenses. As I needed an extra income for my savings I
took up another job, scooping snow at Nottinghill. It was very cold & couldn’t afford for the
winter clothing. On one night I was scooping snow for this old couples, I got very tired and
cold so I sat on the roof and started cursing the sky “why is my life like this” then i said “no
matter what I will open up a salon in Singapore and become successful”. That was the
turning point. After coming back to Singapore I was short in my savings so worked as a flight
stewardess. With the amount I saved, i set up a salon at Sydney Australia but ended up
selling the business to a German lady because after realising that the market wasn’t good
enough to sustain the business, I didn’t wanted to set up in Singapore as I assumed
Singapore wasn’t ready. After that in 1993 I officially open Face of Man Private Limited in
Singapore with my twin brother as my partner.
2. How do you choose the right kind of people to bring into your organization that would care
for the business as you do?
Ans: When picking the right people we look for people with team work & are service
oriented. Having partners has its pros & cons, so we should have a balance of understanding,
e.g. knowing each other strength and tasked them to play that role in the business that
would be advantageous to the company. Tap on each other strength.
3. How crucial is it to have good employees to make your company successful?
Ans: Employees are crucial to the success because they’re the front line. & good customer
service should start from the top level as to say the management so it’ll flow down till the
frontline employees. I got this theory is from my own experience on researches of books.
We value our customer feedbacks, whenever we get feedbacks we look into it seriously. As
there is the internet, it may ruin the company’s reputation by bad reviews online. Be true at
what you do, honesty.

everything with black and white meaning official documentation.

Quality Improvement (improving nurse-nurse handoff communication at report)

 
Topic: improving nurse-nurse handoff communication at report.

The project is to be presented in summary format and not more than 3 pages of content. APA formatting is required, and a minimum of (3 to 5) evidenced based references should be included. References are not counted in the page limit for the paper.
Directions:

Begin with the Problem Statement & Literature Support.

A sample problem statement is:

“ Quality patient care and successful clinical and financial outcomes are directly correlated with professional nursing staff competence and turnover (references). In organization X, the current staff turnover rate is 25% after one year on the unit. In settings where nurse turnover exceeds 12%, the following clinical, organizational and financial challenges have been noted: (1) lower patient care scores on national benchmark data; (2) etc. According to Aiken (2003), national studies ……
Continue with a brief but relevant and evidence-based literature that supports the problem statement.

The rationale for selection of this problem relates to findings that directly correlate to the actual performance outcomes with the problem.

Support the need for addressing this from a quality improvement approach and its relationship with patient safety and/or outcomes.

Is there data that suggests performance improvement may impact on the problem?

An appropriate Plan Design is the application of a performance improvement process.

This is the meat of the project where you will discuss the performance improvement process steps that you will employ to address the problem, taking care to include: Who, What, How, and Time Frame. Include in the discussion the process proposed to address the problem.

An example would be:

“The initial approach is to (1) collect accurate data on the extent of the problem, (2) brainstorm with staff, administrators and patients to determine to potential causes of the problem, and (3) conduct focus groups with current and separated staff to elicit additional contributing factors.”

The conclusion of the discussion should project the desired outcomes and future plans.

For example:

“ It is expected though the application of this improvement process that nurse turnover in this organization will be significantly reduced or reduced to not more than 5% yearly. The process plan has been adopted by the organization and is to be reviewed and reassessed quarterly for outcomes and needed changes.”

Grading is as follows:

Problem statement and literature support 30%
Rationale 30%
Plan design 30%
Paper Structure & APA format 10 %

Total 100%

Examples of past QI papers include:

decreasing risk of nosocomial infections; reducing falls;
reducing central line infection; improving competency in use of cardiac monitors;
decreasing catheter associated BSI; reducing medication errors;
interdisciplinary rounds; medication reconciliation and
improving nurse-nurse handoff communication at report.

You are asked to interpret and evaluate the following journal paper attached with this assignment:
Edwards, Tony, Sanchez-Mangas, Rocio, Belanger, Jacques and McDonnell, Anthony, (2015), Why are Some Subsidiaries of Multinationals the Source of Novel Practices while Others Are Not? National, Corporate and Functional Influences, British Journal of Management, Vol. 26, pp. 146-162.
Areas for discussion within the essay are:
Introduction: Key research gaps that the paper is trying to fill
Brief description of current theory and empirical research illustrating incoherencies, inconsistencies and uncertainties
The nature of sample used in the study and an appraisal of its fit for the research question as well as its shortcomings
The major part of your paper (at least 1000 words) is to describe the most significant statistics in the paper and what they mean
Conclusions: Discuss how the researchers could have done the study differently. Here I’m looking for your creative thinking especially linked to seminar discussions of other papers during this course.
I would like you to appraise the journal article in your own words rather than copying material straight from the paper or purely paraphrasing it. This will show me that you have thought about the paper deeply and developed your own understanding. This exercise is aimed at helping you deconstruct quantitative journal articles and develop a reflexive critique towards future articles you may read on your undergraduate programme.
