Assessment Guidelines
Assessment Brief:
You are to write a 3,000 word (+/- 10% excluding reference list) a literature review. Select a
topic of interest which is relevant to your pathway based on one of the domains from the NHS
Outcomes Framework (2015/16) informed by the NICE Quality Standard or GP Contract
Quality and Outcomes Framework (2015/16). Formulate a research queation relating to your
area of practice, undertake a systematic literature search of relevant sources, examine and

Take home quiz

60 __(6__Points:) Question 1: Answer is 1.5 pages long; does not address impact in adulthood in terms of symptoms/behaviors

_60__(6_Points): Question 4 (5) Depression: Answer includes list rather than paragraph presentation of symptoms—adds length but just provides description without elaboration, content is less than 2 pages

answer the questions carefully and please try to get any support in pathophysiology course. if you check online you may find answers but i dont know if it correct or not. i need to get A on this exam. be careful not to copy anything. be focus on the two first questions and the third one just write a bit about it.

Imagine that you are a hospital administrator at the Sunlight Hospital in California. The main complaint among the patients is the quality of care. Your job is to understand the state of the hospital, create value, increase efficiency, and turn the facility into a local hospital of choice. Whenever you are making visits in various wards to meet the employees and the patients, you hear how the patients love the hospital, but they would like to see certain improvements in care. The employees seem to be very busy executing their duties and not interacting much with the patients. The hospital board has asked you to compile a report of your findings and suggested strategy for achieving the hospital’s current goals.

Note: You may create and / or make all necessary assumptions needed for the completion of this assignment.

Write a three to six (3-6) page paper in which you:

1. Classify five (5) measurements of quality of care in a hospital, and justify the major reasons why you believe these measurements matter to patients in their process of choosing a hospital for emergency or inpatient care.

2. Specify four (4) main features in health care organizations that can be used to design a successful quality improvement plan. Articulate the significant manner in which the specified features can lead to failure or success of quality of care in Sunlight Hospital.

3. Suggest the salient reasons why quality of care would add value to and create a competitive advantage for the Sunlight Hospital. Justify your response.

4. Use four (4) recent (within the last five [5] years) quality academic resources in this assignment.
Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:
• Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.

• Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:
• Propose methodologies that have been proven to increase value in health care delivery systems
• Examine leadership and management frameworks that are most applicable to a certain organization type within the health care industry.
• Craft a strategic plan that leads to a competitive advantage within a certain market.
• Use technology and information resources to research issues in health care management.
• Write clearly and concisely about health care management using proper writing mechanics.

(use recent peer-reviewed articles to support paper)
-Describe, in detail, the traumatic issue and how it would affect three children at three different ages,Dakota at 3 years old, Casey at 8 years old, and Jody 14 years old, using information on brain development, the social and environmental effects of trauma of domestic violence, and how you would holistically treat each different child with different play therapy models and interventions. Remember to address how each particular child is affected and symptoms based on there developmental stage.

Use the following outline to develop your paper and label accordingly:
1.Identify, in detail, the traumatic issue that has occurred..
2.Explore the range of reactions that would present in the following hypothetical children: Dakota, age 3; Casey, age 8; and Jody, age 14..
3.Use your readings related to the effects of trauma on the developing brain to explore the variations of traumatic effects on these children, including aspects of the issue which are more or less severe at different stages of the child’s growth..
4.Differentiate the likely social and environmental effects of trauma for each of the children..
5.Explain the models of play therapy you would use to best meet the needs of each of the children. Support your explanations by citing peer-reviewed studies on both trauma and play-therapy interventions and techniques for children at each age level..
6.Analyze any aspects of the issue that touch on ethical and legal concerns for each developmental age..
7.Close your paper by describing possible vicarious trauma and therapist self-care..

Grading:
-Identifies symptomatology presented with a specific trauma, and explains specific examples.
-Differentiates the likely social and environmental effects of trauma with children of varied ages, and evaluates the evidence that could be used to prioritize the children’s needs
-Explains specific play-therapy approaches for treatment of a traumatic issue with children of varied ages, and identifies criteria to evaluate why these models are the best choices.
-Analyzes legal and ethical concerns when working with children of varied ages who have been affected by a traumatic issue, and evaluates relevant laws and ethics that would influence play-therapy approaches.
-Communicates through writing in a manner that is scholarly, professional, and well organized, and provides logical, substantive messages anchored in recommendations from contemporary, evidence-based research.
