For sparse data, discuss why considering only the presence of non-zero values might give a more accurate view of the objects than considering the actual magnitudes of values. When would such an approach not be desirable?

Workers’ compensation is the only means for workers to be able to support their families monetarily during the time of injury, which sometimes may be for a few months to a few years.Many workers across America have had a negative, perhaps even slightly hostile, experience with workers’ compensation and have had the need to dispute certain aspects such as compensation, medical bill payment, and level of disability rating among other issues.For this assignment, write an essay describing the benefit of the dispute process for the state that you live and/or work in.Think about these questions when writing your essay:Why is the dispute process even needed?What are common causes of injured workers disputing the level of benefits or compensation?What are the workers’ rights and responsibilities when dealing with disputes? · What is the root cause of disputes?Is it a basic viewpoint of the accident situation in general, or is it a lack of communication, or inaccurate communicationbetween many different groups?How does the dispute process fit into the claims management process?Your essay should be a minimum of five pages. At a minimum, the resources you identified in your Unit IV annotated bibliography should be used in your paper. The annotated bibliography itself will not be included as a part of the assignment, just the resources you identified. All sources used, including your textbook, must be cited and referenced following APAguidelines, and your essay should be formatted in APA style to include a title page and reference page.NOTE: Much of the dispute process may be reviewed on your state’s web page. Remember, the assignment is to show theperceived benefits of the dispute process, not the actual description or purpose of the process.Information about accessing the grading rubric for this assignment is provided below.The state to be used is Texas

Errors, SafetyQ.1 Since the Institute of Medicine (IOM), which is now part of the National Academy of Medicine (NAM), published To Err Is Human in 1999, a groundbreaking report that boldly pointed out the problem of medical errors, concerns regarding patient safety and the need to reduce errors have come to the forefront of the U.S. healthcare system.What initiatives have accreditation organizations and other external agencies undertaken to address these issues? What strategies have been used by ancillary healthcare institutions (mental health and public health) to reduce medical errors? Do you think these efforts have been effective?Week 6: Improving QualityQ.2 What do you see as the biggest challenge(s) ahead for us as we attempt to improve the quality of our healthcare delivery system in the United States? Are these challenges the same for ancillary services (e.g., mental health and public health) and traditional services (e.g., offices, clinics, hospitals)? Why or why not

Read my classmate post. Think and write your thoughts and feelings about his post. (1 page)Classmate’s PostOur textbooks disagree. In The Teaching Ministry of the Church, Lawson discusses the possibility of using curriculum resources produced outside the group using them. She asks, “Is it appropriate, then, to use nondenominational materials as long as their statement of doctrine is acceptable?” and answers, “That is certainly a possibility as long as the leaders and teachers using the resources understand that any particular doctrinal issue may need to be interpreted” (2008, p. 322). On the other hand, in Christian Education Handbook, Stubblefield quotes Brown: “Any material that offers an unacceptable message must be discarded, no matter how teachable or attractive it is. Generally, it is more important for material to pass the message test and be teachable that it is to be attractive” (1996, p. 222). Which is right?No doubt, every member of this class would have an opinion based on their religious educational background and upbringing. We may have had workbooks in our own Bible classes that appealed to us because of the color scheme or layout styles, instead of repetitive columns of boring black and white with scary blanks to fill it. We may have favored handouts that included cultural references from our ethnicity or that acknowledged our group’s entertainment and music preferences. We may simply like the more familiar tone in one kind of material as opposed to another, more formal presentation. Having such a preference is fair; deciding what kind of Bible class material to use based mainly on those preferences is wrong.Without a doubt, Stubblefield and Brown are right. The material you choose matters; it should consist of the message God wants taught. Material that is written by a denominational group will promote the teachings of that denomination; that is expected. What if that message is not what the Bible teaches? Even though we might acknowledge the group’s good intentions in producing the material, dare we move beyond the message God intends?Should we use nondenominational material that provides choices for matters that God regulated in His Word? No, we should not. When God speaks on a matter (as in partaking the Lord’s Supper every Sunday Acts 20:7), we do not have the option to consider “options.” Material that discusses such options and leads the student to accept the written Word is good as it invites the student to reason together (Is. 1:18). Material that discusses options that come from the mind of man as though they are on an equal footing with the commandments of God are erroneous and should not be used.Brown was right about continuity of Bible class curriculum, too. It should teach “all the counsel of God” (Acts 20:27). I have heard kids complain sometimes because when they promoted to a new class, Miss A. Teacher started all over again at Genesis and they had just spent several weeks on the creation account. Congregations who let teachers choose what lessons to teach run a very real risk of classes repeating the “easy” stories ad infinitum and never getting to the meat of the Word. Someone in leadership needs to have the big picture, to know what each class is studying, and to ensure that every student has sufficient teaching of the whole Bible.Yes, that is a big task. It isn’t easier when the congregation is small, although that would be a natural conclusion. When the congregation is large, a cadre of leaders assists in this process. When the congregation is small, this job often falls to a single person. Stubblefield recommends that these leaders train others; in effect, this person becomes a “Moses,” holding on to the big picture role and putting others in place to fulfill the various roles needed in the small congregation.

The Nurse’s Role in Promoting Quality Health CareAs you have noted in this course and in your practice, nurses have an integral role in promoting a just culture focused on patient safety in their health care organizations. Determining resources to prevent error and improve patient safety can often be a battle, and this scenario illustrates how one organization makes strides to make sure resources are available in the interest of patient safety. As you review the scenario, consider the nurse’s role in promoting a just culture in your practice setting.Post a description of the role of the staff nurse for promoting quality in a high-performing health care organization. Define the organizational culture of your health care organization, or one with which you are familiar, and identify the leadership style of the CEO and CNO in your organization. Explain how your senior leadership supports—or does not support—changes that require financing/budget to support patient safety. Describe the strategies you might be able to implement to move your health care organization to a high-performing organization.The Post: Should contain well developed and insightful analysis that brings new insight into the discussion . This should be at least 450 words response. Be sure to use evidence from the readings and include in-text citations. Utilize essay-level writing practice and skills, including the use of transitional material and organizational frames. Avoid quotes; paraphrase to incorporate evidence into your own writing. A reference list is required. Use the most current evidence (usually ? 5 years old).

CASE STUDY 4: Focused Thyroid ExamChantal, a 32-year-old female, comes into your office with complaints of “feeling tired” and “hair falling out”. She has gained 30 pounds in the last year but notes markedly decreased appetite. On ROS, she reports not sleeping well and feels cold all the time. She is still able to enjoy her hobbies and does not believe that she is depressedCase Study Assignment should be in the Episodic/Focused SOAP Note format rather than the traditional narrative style format .Consider what history would be necessary to collect from the patient.Consider what physical exams and diagnostic tests would be appropriate to gather more information about the patient’s condition. How would the results be used to make a diagnosis?Identify at least five possible conditions that may be considered in a differential diagnosis for the patient.Episodic/Focused SOAP Note TemplatePatient Information:Initials, Age, Sex, RaceS.CC (chief complaint) a BRIEF statement identifying why the patient is here – in the patient’s own words – for instance “headache”, NOT “bad headache for 3 days”.HPI: This is the symptom analysis section of your note. Thorough documentation in this section is essential for patient care, coding, and billing analysis. Paint a picture of what is wrong with the patient. Use LOCATES Mnemonic to complete your HPI. You need to start EVERY HPI with age, race, and gender (e.g., 34-year-old AA male). You must include the seven attributes of each principal symptom in paragraph form not a list. If the CC was “headache”, the LOCATES for the HPI might look like the following example:Location: headOnset: 3 days agoCharacter: pounding, pressure around the eyes and templesAssociated signs and symptoms: nausea, vomiting, photophobia, phonophobiaTiming: after being on the computer all day at workExacerbating/ relieving factors: light bothers eyes, Aleve makes it tolerable but not completely betterSeverity: 7/10 pain scaleCurrent Medications: include dosage, frequency, length of time used and reason for use; also include OTC or homeopathic products.Allergies: include medication, food, and environmental allergies separately (a description of what the allergy is ie angioedema, anaphylaxis, etc. This will help determine a true reaction vs intolerance).PMHx: include immunization status (note date of last tetanus for all adults), past major illnesses and surgeries. Depending on the CC, more info is sometimes needed
