In today’s world of healthcare, capital expenses are a common element to the financial management process. In fact, all healthcare organizations, at some point, must convert to an Electronic Health Record (EHR) system to be compatible with the rest of the world. However, this is a major capital expense that will cost many healthcare organizations millions of dollars. Purchasing an EHR system will undoubtedly require the acquisition and use of long-term assets under a capital budget.

The final assignment of your project will require you to make a recommendation to finance an EHR system, based on information from previous assignments. You will compile all the information in a proposal format, which will be addressed to the organization’s executive managers. You will create a separate presentation as an overview of your proposal.

Your organization is considering financing a 1.5 million dollar EHR system (if an EHR system not a good fit for your case, you can choose any major health information system/technology but the 1.5 million dollar reference should remain the same). Based on the financial outlook of your case/organization, make a recommendation to purchase or not purchase the system. You will need to draw on the material you have learned in throughout the class and assignments; as well as background information from your case description. Collectively, that information will serve as the foundation to support your recommendation.

Your final Financial Analysis report should be a minimum of eight (8) pages in length, excluding title and reference pages.

· Introduction of case and financial challenges and issues; perspective of financial challenge (Introduction)

· Report on assets and liabilities, cash flows and financial position, etc (Financial Statements).

· Examination of financial analysis methods (Financial Analysis Methods).

· Interpretation of financial management and capital management; influences for capital investments and decision-making (Capital Management).

· Assessment of EHR implementation (or relevant information system) and recommendation; using supportive information from financial management assignments (Proposal)

o Summarizes and presents a collection of financial management concepts, strategies and methods; applicable to case financial position, needs and challenges.

· Make sure to use block letter formatting and proposal formatting guidelines. You will need to include a title page. Remember, your audience is the organization’s executive managers. Make sure to use proper audience tone.

· Include an APA formatted reference page to include at least five (5) academic sources, such as a book or an academic scholarly journal, to support your topic. You should reference your academic sources by including at least five (5) in-text citations. Academic scholarly journals can be access through the Rasmussen Online Library.

Your Presentation should be created in MS PowerPoint to include a minimum of seven (7) slides. You will also add a narration to your presentation that should be 15-20 minutes in length. Be sure to discuss your project components in a concise, yet effective manner. You should highlight key points of each component of the Financial Analysis Report, leading up to your EHR recommendation outcome. Include graphical displays (such as graphs or other pictorials) to add visual interest and support of your information. Use a professional tone and keep in mind that you are presenting to the executive management team; consider their interests as stakeholders.

• The Relationship Between Community Public Health Problems and Contributing Factors

Why is community health assessment important? Community health assessments may address many types of issues—so many that it is sometimes difficult to know where one starts and another stops. As a public health professional, you may be asked to assess an established public health problem such as diabetes, or you might be asked to investigate a set of contributing factors such as stress, lack of exercise, and a poor diet, which are all predictors for diabetes. To target community health assessment efforts most effectively, it is important for you to understand the relationships of contributing factors and public health problems.

For this Discussion, review this week’s Resources and the media titled Belize: Health Overview. Based upon information from the resources, consider the relationship between public health problems and contributing factors.

With these thoughts in mind:

of the community’s public health problems identified in the media.

How important are excellent leaders to organizations? Well, the answer, in theory of course, would be very important. However, the answer as practiced by countless organizations might indicate otherwise. Only 38 percent of organizations have a formal frontline leadership development program in place. It’s important for organizations to commit to strong leadership development, and it’s particularly important for organizations to begin grooming their Gen Y employees to move into critical leadership positions. Why? Within 10 years (by 2025), these Millennials are set to comprise 75 percent of the global workforce. That’s why organizational leadership development programs are absolutely essential. Let’s look at what some companies are doing to prepare the next generation for leadership.
Excellent leaders have to be developed and cultivated.
3M’s leadership development program is so effective that it has been one of the “Top 20 Companies for Leadership” in six of the last seven years and ranks as one of the top 25 companies for grooming leadership talent according to consultant Hay Group. What is 3M’s leadership program all about? A few years ago, the company’s former CEO and his top team spent 18 months developing a leadership model for the company. After numerous brainstorming sessions and much heated debate, the group finally agreed on six “leadership attributes” that they believed were essential for managers to have in order for the company to become skilled at executing strategy and being accountable. Those six attributes included the ability to: develop a plan and implement that plan; motivate and rouse others; be ethical and trustworthy and abide by the rules; achieve outcomes; strive for excellence; and be a capable and creative innovator. The company has continued to reinforce its pursuit of leadership excellence with these six attributes.
Other companies, such as Ernst & Young, start early in recruiting and investing in future leaders, often going after talented college freshmen who have leadership potential. They take the best talent and involve them in various leadership development programs both while in school and after graduation. Deloitte, another company rated high for its leadership development programs, is deeply committed to helping its Millennial employees learn and absorb the leadership skills they will need to lead the company in the future. It starts with a very specific recruiting strategy for hiring Millennials and continues with a yearlong “Welcome to Deloitte” program. This program is all about teaching this age group client-management skills and team-building skills, and offering professional development opportunities. And, not surprisingly, it’s done largely through social media using interactive experiences such as role-plays, simulations, games, and a tool to help these employees track their first-year tasks.
At Facebook, the first Millennial-run organization to become a Fortune 500 company, leadership development is designed around the needs of a fast-moving, fast-growing company. The head of leadership development at Facebook says that the only way leadership development works there is by making it consistent with the types of engineering tech types that comprise the company. Engineers are concerned only with “what works.” And it’s the same for any type of leadership development to be successful here; the focus has to be on what works. Also, since Facebook is an extremely flat organization with few levels of management, employees find out early on that in order to get anything done, they’re going to have to be able to influence and inspire people. That’s why leaders at Facebook don’t have to be convinced of the need for people skills. They won’t survive long without them.
Prepare a 2-page paper answering the following questions. Remember, use 10-12 pt font and APA format! Feel free to bring in outside data/sources, but please provide citations and a list of references.
Why do you think that there’s a huge gap in theory (what we know we should do) and practice (what we’re actually doing) of leadership development?
What are some reasons that companies might not be addressing Gen Y leadership development programs?
Three different types of organizations are described here: 3M is primarily a manufacturing organization. Ernst & Young and Deloitte are professional services organizations. Facebook is a tech company. Compare and contrast their differing approaches to Gen Y leadership development.

In this section of the portfolio you are asked to utilise reflection, to assist your learning and development as a nurse. You have set a short term goal for the semester, outlined strategies to achieve that goal, and you have been asked to select three artefacts. 
Use the headings supplied below to direct your reflection. Reference appropriately where required. DO NOT use dot points when addressing each of the headings below, but sentences under the headings. 
Take note: 
A nurse contributes to quality health care through life-long learning (Health Practitioner Regulation National Law Act 2009); 
Learning starts with setting goals and planning for their achievement; 
Reflection is an important process that can assist the nurse in understanding about events, how to analyse the event, and then move on in terms of learning; 
For the reflection, this part of Assignment One, note that you have set your goals and strategies in the first part of your Assignment at the beginning of term. Now you need to engage in reflection in order to determine what was learnt from the process of attempting to achieve your goal. 
The framework below is designed to bring the Assignment to a conclusion as you reflect on what has been learnt. 
LINKS TO THE ANMAC CODES AND COMPETENCIES ARE AVAILABLE IN YOUR TUTORIAL ONE NOTES. 
THE FULL FOH GRADUATE ATTRIBUTES ARE PRINTED INTO TUTORIAL ONE NOTES. 
Submitting the Reflective Paper – Use these Headings to structure your Reflection. 
1. Introduction to the experience 
Using the trigger questions directly below, briefly describe your short term goal. This is to remind the tutors of what your goal is – 
• What was the context? 
• Who was involved? 
• What was the aim of your goal? 
• When did you plan to achieve this goal? 
2. Critical Analysis of the experience 
• What worked well?
