Tourism Question

QUESTION

This assignment is an opportunity to look inward and reflect on HOW YOUR BACKGROUND AND VALUES may impact the decisions you make and the way you approach and prioritize different pillars of sustainability. ( I will give more information about me after accepting)

For example, my mother is Austrian and I spent much of my childhood there. The social system and HEAVY prioritization on environmental issues meant I too had a tendency to prioritize environmental issues over others when analyzing policies and projects. It was not until my time and work in Guatemala and Mexico where I saw the first hand the role tourism plays in social issues (from poverty alleviation to social disruption) that I began to rebalance my approach to ensure that I was addressing social issues as well. 

I recognize, that on some level, this will be a superficial activity, barely skimming the surface of the normative nature of sustainable development, but this exercise of reflection which must refer to and derive its main context from the paper titled “A systemic framework for sustainability assessment” is an opportunity to begin to recognize our personal perspectives and how they affect what we come to the table with. Let’s avoid a naval-gazing approach, and dig as deep as we can with limited experience in this exercise in order to become at the very least more aware of our individual perspectives!

Question

By now you would have selected your topic from the list for your final project. This week you are going to start working on your literature review and upload your draft for feedback, Your final version is due next week. If you haven’t already watched the lecture entitled “How To Write A Literature Review,” please do that now. The lecture explains the process, assignment instructions, AND what is required to submit. 

Even though this is a draft, you should still submit the best version you can as you will only have one more week to work on it until you must submit the final version. 

Important Considerations:

1) Your title needs to be explicit and include the words Literature Review your reader should know exactly what you are writing about.

2) You need to fully explain your methods when you first run a search, you will likely come up with hundreds or maybe thousands of articles you need to state this info.

3) Your charts need to reflect the info in YOUR paper and not just copy my example.

The draft is not due this week, but you MUST starting working on it early in order to meet the deadlines.

There are no points allocated for the draft, but you will lose points on your final draft for not submitting it. A draft is an important part of the process for academic writing and possible publication. 

Your patient has a Personal Health RecordNow what?

Question

Case Study: 

A 65-year-old woman was just been diagnosed with Stage 3 non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. She was informed of this diagnosis in her primary care physician’s office. She leaves her physician’s office and goes home to review all of her tests and lab results with her family. She goes home and logs into her PHR. She is only able to pull up a portion of her test results. She calls her physician’s office with this concern. The office staff discussed that she had part of her lab work completed at a lab not connected to the organization, part was completed at the emergency room, and part was completed in the lab that is part of the doctor’s office organization.

The above scenario might be a scenario that you have commonly worked with in clinical practice. For many reasons, patients often receive healthcare from multiple organizations that might have different systems.

As you review this scenario, reflect and answer these questions for this discussion.

What are the pros and cons of the situation in the case study?

What safeguards are included in patient portals and PHRs to help patients and healthcare professionals ensure safety?

Do you agree or disagree with the way that a patient obtains Personal Health Records (PHRs)?

  • What are challenges for patients that do not have access to all of the PHRs? Remember, only portions of the EHRs are typically included in the PHRs.

LEADERSHIP THEORIES IN PRACTICE (2)

/0 Comments/in /by

QUESTION

A walk through the Business section of any bookstore or a quick Internet search on the topic will reveal a seemingly endless supply of writings on leadership. Formal research literature is also teeming with volumes on the subject.

However, your own observation and experiences may suggest these theories are not always so easily found in practice. Not that the potential isn’t there; current evidence suggests that leadership factors such as emotional intelligence and transformational leadership behaviors, for example, can be highly effective for leading nurses and organizations.

Yet, how well are these theories put to practice? In this Discussion, you will examine formal leadership theories. You will compare these theories to behaviors you have observed firsthand and discuss their effectiveness in impacting your organization.

To Prepare:

Review the Resources and examine the leadership theories and behaviors introduced.

Identify two to three scholarly resources, in addition to this Module’s readings, that evaluate the impact of leadership behaviors in creating healthy work environments.

Reflect on the leadership behaviors presented in the three resources that you selected for review.

  • Post two key insights you had from the scholarly resources you selected. Describe a leader whom you have seen use such behaviors and skills, or a situation where you have seen these behaviors and skills used in practice. Be specific and provide examples. Then, explain to what extent these skills were effective and how their practice impacted the workplace.
