Part 1: Promotion of Healthcare Services In recent years, promotions have become an important part of healthcare strategy. Promoting a service is often very different than the promotion of a product. Equally important is the medium through which you promote your service, whether it is in person; online or through traditional promotional avenues, promotion has become a critical aspect of a marketing strategy. Compare the use of print media and the Internet in the promotion of healthcare services. What are the advantages and disadvantages of each? Explain. Part 2: How HIPAA works with strategy? In 1996, the Health Information Portability and Accountability Act was put into effect. This legislation profoundly changed the way the healthcare industry work in the United States. As such, healthcare organizations have had to create and change their strategies around this landmark legislation. Discuss the Health Information Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) and the impact it has had on the exchange of data that includes health-related patient information.

Assignment 1: Deficit Spending
During the Great Recession, like any other economic downturns, as unemployment rises, aggregate income declines causing a major decline in tax collections. On the other hand, with the rise in unemployment, spending on safety net programs rise. So, there are not too many good options available to resort the health of the national economy. It will be very difficult to defend cuts in the federal government programs and especially the programs geared to sustain the minimum of the standard of living for the recent “poor.” So, government needs to increase its borrowing. Deficit spending refers to government spending exceeding what it brings in federal income and corporate taxes during a certain period. Deficit spending hence increases government debt. Most economists accept that deficit spending is desirable and necessary as part of countercyclical fiscal policy. In such a case, government increases its borrowing and hence its deficit to compensate for the shortfall in aggregate demand. This is derived from Keynesian economics, and has been the mainstream economics view. Following John Maynard Keynes, many economists recommend deficit spending to moderate or end a recession, especially a severe one. When the economy has high unemployment, an increase in government purchases creates a market for business output, creating income and encouraging increases in consumer spending, which creates further increases in the demand for business output. (This is the multiplier effect). This raises the real gross domestic product (GDP) and the level of employment and lowers the unemployment rate. Government borrowing under such circumstances increases the demand for borrowing and thus pushes interest rates up. Rising interest rates can “crowd out” (discourage) fixed private investment spending, canceling out some of the demand stimulus arising from the deficit

PDR-279327 Evaluation Plan with Rubrics Note: Adjustment of 4 pages has also been paid by client To start the evaluation project you will create a 4–6-page paper (excluding the title page, references, and appendices) and two analytic rubrics, one for the psychomotor skills assessment and one portfolio for the new hire graduate nurses. Consider the given scenario: You are a hospital-based director of staff education working with a new group of graduate nurses. In Part 1 of the Evaluation Project, you will choose the psychomotor skills that you want to assess for these new graduate nurses and you will develop an evaluation plan and an analytic rubric specific to those chosen skills. For the assessment evaluation plan, begin by defining the objectives for this test. Then state the parameters against which learners will be evaluated and the weightings that each of these grading criteria will carry. In the body of the paper define the psychomotor skills that you want your learners to possess in order to complete the test successfully. In the Appendix of your paper, develop an analytic rubric for the testing purpose (use only one number/parameter [not a range of numbers] in your analytic rubric to keep it objective). In addition, the chief nursing officer (CNO) of your organization has called you to discuss the upcoming reaccreditation survey. The CNO has informed you that for this accreditation cycle, the method for evaluating nursing competency for these new graduates will be portfolios. Your job is to develop an analytic rubric that will be distributed to the nursing graduates and describes how portfolios for new employees will be evaluated. In the Appendix of your paper develop an analytic rubric for the portfolio (use only one number/parameter [not a range of numbers] in your analytic rubric for the portfolio to keep it objective). The two rubrics need to be attached as appendix I & II 4 pages, 3 APA
