QUESTION
Preparing the Assignment
The National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) was formed to ensure the quality of patient care and measurement of patient outcomes with set standards.
Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS) is a performance measurement tool used by millions of health insurance plans. There are 6 domains of care:
- Effectiveness of Care
- Access/Availability of Care
- Experience of Care
- Utilization and Risk Adjusted Utilization
- Health Plan Descriptive Information
- Measures Collected Using Electronic Clinical Data Systems
You may access the 6 domains of care by clicking this link:
(NCQA, n.d. https://www.ncqa.org/hedis/Links to an external site.)
As an APN, productivity will be an important measurement for the practice to determine reimbursement and salary. Fee-for-service practices will require a set number of patients per day to maintain productivity. A capitated practice will require the APN to have a large panel of patients but also will focus on controlling costs. This can be accomplished through effective primary care that is accessible, convenient for the patients, and has a method of measuring the quality of care.
Write a formal paper in APA format with a title page, introduction, the three required elements below, conclusion, and reference page.
You are now employed as an NP in primary care. Choose one performance measure from one of the six domains of care, i.e. Adult BMI Assessment, Prenatal, and Postpartum care, etc.
Develop three different patient interventions for that one performance measure and how you would specifically implement the intervention and measure the outcomes for that particular performance measure in clinical practice.
How would these primary care interventions result in improved patient outcomes and healthcare cost savings?
How can these interventions result in improved NP patient ratings?
CSC262 300 Word Explore Industry Java Certifications Discussion
/0 Comments/in Programming /by bonniejecintaQuestion
Acquiring industry Java programming certificates can give individuals pursuing a career in the field of software development and programming a competitive advantage. Certifications provide tangible evidence of a candidate’s skills and knowledge in the Java language and can open doors to better job opportunities and career advancement. Some companies offer higher starting salaries or give higher raises to certified professionals compared to peers without certification. In a competitive job market, having certifications can give the candidate an edge over other candidates, making his/her resume stand out and demonstrate the candidate’s commitment to continuous learning. Earning certifications from reputable organizations or companies can also enhance the candidate’s professional credibility. Employers and clients are more likely to trust a candidate’s abilities when he/she has recognized certifications. Some certifications are globally recognized, making it easier to find job opportunities and work in different regions or countries.
However, it’s important to note that certifications are not a replacement for practical experience. They should complement a candidate’s real-world work and projects. Additionally, the value of a certification can vary depending on factors such as the reputation of the certifying organization and the specific needs of employers in your region or industry. Therefore, it’s essential to research and choose certifications that align with a candidate’s career goals and the demands of the job market targeted.
Please conduct extensive research on the contemporary industrial certifications for Java programming language. Choose 4-5 certifications to report the following:
Name of certification and its offering organization
Industry reputation of the certification and the organization.
Resources available to prepare for obtaining the certification and the links to the resources.

Central Tendency & Variability
For your main post, gather some data (N of 20 or more)
You have two options for data:
Option 1: Revisit the data you used in the last discussion – but only if you had an N of 20+ and an interval level of measurement for that variable!
Option 2: Pull some new data from the student survey for one variable that is at the interval level of measurement.
Post your results (use the name of your variable as the subject of your post). Use the Table icon (looks like a grid) to make a table in which to show your calculations more organized and clear. To include the formula and numbers you used, you can type them in as best you can or you can get fancy with the “Math Equation” icon (looks like the square-root symbol). (See resources below.)
For your comment posts:
Post at least two comments on someone else’s data – interpret what they calculated, discuss the patterns of central tendency and variability for their variable…
Just put into words what it means to get the mean, median, mode, range, and sd (separate sentences for each) and overall what they tell you (Central tendency: what do they mean? Are they all the same? different? How different? Is there skew? Which statistic is best for central tendency? Variability: what do they mean? Which statistic is best for variability?)
Activity 33: Reflection
/0 Comments/in Humanities /by bonniejecintaQuestion
Introduction
In this reflection, you will reflect on the types of cultural values or behaviors that you express as well as where you find yourself on various cultural value dimensions and what makes you uncomfortable with those values and behaviors that are significantly different from your own.
Activity Instructions
Reflect on the types of cultural values you predominantly exhibit: direct/indirect; low/high context.
Discuss where you fall on these cultural dimension value scales and what makes you most uncomfortable about the cultural values that are at odds with your values?
What can you do to make sure the person you are talking to understands you? For instance, if you are a direct context speaker, what can you do to better understand someone who comes from a culture where indirect communication is the dominant cultural value?
Please review the following resources for this activity:
Textbook: Storti, Craig. Figuring Foreigner’s Out, 20th Anniversary Edition: Understanding the World’s Cultures, Nicholas Brealey Publishing, 2018.
Chapter 3: Styles of Communication
At the end of your submission, include a brief Design Statement explaining the process and tools you used to develop your work. Your statement should be about a paragraph or so, in your own words (rather than formally written), and unique to this assignment. Why are we asking for this? Find out more about Design Statements.
Tips for Success
does the concept of the “third side”
/0 Comments/in Writing /by bonniejecintaQUESTION
Thinking about your Week 6 project and the conflict you chose to analyze, does the concept of the “third side” seem relevant to the international negotiation process? Why or why not?
I look forward to reading your posts and providing feedback on the discussions! I may ask follow-up questions after you have presented the initial post,
feedback
This is an interesting paper on the Arab-Israeli conflict and the negotiation efforts of the international community. This conflict is categorized as an “ethno-territorial conflict,” meaning that one group’s gain in territory results in the other group’s loss. The Israelis are firm believers in a unitary state, while the Palestinians advocate for a partitioned country. Unfortunately, neither side is willing to accept the compromise solution or consociationalism, which makes the conflict incredibly challenging to resolve. In addition to this, the conflicting ethnic and religious identities of various sectarian groups living in the region add to the complexity of the situation. If one group prevails, the other group’s territorial identity will be erased. To complicate matters further, non-state actors such as Hamas and Hezbollah make finding a negotiated solution even more difficult. In my opinion, it would be beneficial to allocate more space for the analytical aspects of future discussions and less for descriptive ones.
With all that said, In the future, please, use more space for the analytical part and less for the descriptive one. This could have been done by incorporating the points on the relevance of Steven Walt’s “too-hard box” to the Arab-Israeli conflict. Most importantly, you need to use your own analysis and less points borrowed and paraphrased from others.

INTERACTION BETWEEN NURSE INFORMATICISTS AND OTHER SPECI
/0 Comments/in Health Medical /by bonniejecintaQUESTION
Nature offers many examples of specialization and collaboration. Ant colonies and bee hives are but two examples of nature’s sophisticated organizations. Each thrives because their members specialize by tasks, divide labor, and collaborate to ensure food, safety, and general well-being of the colony or hive.
Of course, humans don’t fare too badly in this regard either. And healthcare is a great example. As specialists in the collection, access, and application of data, nurse informaticists collaborate with specialists on a regular basis to ensure that appropriate data is available to make decisions and take actions to ensure the general well-being of patients.
In this Discussion, you will reflect on your own observations of and/or experiences with informaticist collaboration. You will also propose strategies for how these collaborative experiences might be improved.
