1. This assignment will be in the format of a PowerPoint presentation (Bullet points may be used).
2. You are educating your peers through this presentation regarding a federal bill you believe may be of interest to nurses.
3. Go to https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/subjects/health/6130 (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. 
4. Choose a health-related federal bill of interest. Read through the bill and develop a summary in your own words. Include the bill number and name.
5. Here is a link to our U.S. legislative process (bill to law) for review, if needed.

• Bill name and number (indicate either H.B. or S.B.)
• Bill summary (in your own words)
• Address how this bill might impact professional nursing practice standards if passed? If not passed?
• How might the bill impact your own nursing practice?
• How might you communicate your concerns about or support for this bill based on nursing practice, standards, or patient outcomes?
• How might this bill impact your community?
• References slide to include the Bill source in APA format.

Template

There is no required form or template for this assignment. Please use PowerPoint best practices throughout your presentation.

Best Practices

The following are best practices in preparing this presentation.

• Review directions and rubric thoroughly prior to beginning assignment.
• Watch short Kaltura video.Incorporate graphics, clip art, or photographs to increase interest.
• Make slides easy to read with short bullet points and large font.

Source Citations

Cite all sources on the appropriate slides with (author, year) as well as on the Reference slide.

Need a 4 page paper and a reference page. .

Imagine that you are a health policy analyst for a state that has not elected to expand Medicaid as part of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). You have just been notified that the state leaders have agreed to reconsider their decision during an upcoming session. Go to the Kaiser Family Foundation Website, atwww.kff.org, and The Commonwealth Fund website, athttp://www.commonwealthfund.org/publications/‌blog/2014/mar/medicaid-expansion-alternative-state-approaches, for additional information on

Write a three to four (3-4) page paper in which you:

1. Identify a state that has not elected to participate in the Medicaid expansion initiative under the Affordable Care Act. Critically analyze the implications of the state’s decision to opt out of Medicaid expansion on the citizens of the state.
2. Compare the potential opportunities and challenges of a state’s decision to opt into the Medicaid expansion.
3. Explore two (2) alternate approaches to expanding access to care that have been implemented or considered by states opting out of Medicaid expansion. Compare and contrast the two (2) alternate approaches to the Medicaid expansion initiative.

1. Provide a recommendation to the state legislature on whether or not the state should opt in to the Medicaid expansion. Provide a rationale for your recommendation.
2. Use at least three (3) recent (within the last five [5] years), quality academic resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and other Websites do not qualify as academic resources.

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:

• Develop policies that ensure compliance of healthcare delivery systems with current legislation.
• Apply decision-making models to address difficult management situations.
• Use technology and information resources to research issues in Health Care Operations Management.

• Write clearly and concisely about Health Care Operations Management using proper writing mechanics.

1. Open the TeachingsRatings data in RStudio.
2. Read the Description of the data uploaded on Canvas.
3. Provide a summary of variables: Course-eval, Beauty, female, age, minority, intro, and onecredit (what they are, what their unit is, what their mean is?)
4. Run a single regression of Course-eval over Beauty.
5. What is the model?
6. What is the predicted equation?
7. Is the coefficient of “beauty” significant? Why?
8. Run a multiple regression of Course-eval over Beauty, female, age, minority, intro, and onecredit. (the 6 variables must be included in 1 regression and not separately).
9. What is the population equation?
10. What is the predicted equation?
11. What is the effect of beauty on Course-eval in the multiple regression.
12. In the multiple regression, which one of the regressors (coefficients) are statistically significant? Why?
13. What is the new R2 and what does it mean?
14. In the multiple regression, provide a test of the significance of course characteristics on the course evaluations.

(hint: if you keep the order of the variables I wrote in part. 8 the same, the null of this test would H0: B5=B6=0, meaning in your MLRM you should check the significance of intro and onecredit at the same time. You should run a F-Test. Once with these variables and once without them and create your restricted and unrestricted models)

15. What is the pvalue associated with the “overall ftest” of the regression part 8? What does it mean?

VERY IMPORTANT: You should calculate and provide the FSTAT on PAPER (even if you use RStudio to get the fstat, you should confirm it again. I want you to do it once to learn it)
