Simulation in Healthcare

Sometimes, challenges or issues in healthcare delivery are not prescriptive in nature and cannot be solved using pure optimization. Simulation provides healthcare administration leaders and decision makers a method to evaluate problems using probabilistic components. For example, a primary care queueing problem might logically follow a Poisson process and be modeled using simulation techniques.

For this Assignment, examine the different simulation techniques highlighted. Reflect on how these simulation techniques might apply to specific challenges or issues for healthcare delivery.

gap in research

Topic Selection Assignments (2)
Topic Selection: Find a Gap — The student will select 3 topics related to the counseling profession. The topics and summaries of 3 peer-reviewed articles published within the last 5 years (one article per topic) will be submitted to the instructor for approval and feedback. The instructor will give the student feedback on his/her topic selections regarding which may be the most researchable and ethical topic, based on assignment requirements, and may recommend the student focus on one for subsequent assignments.  The proposal will not be completed as an experimental study, but rather as a proposal of a study that could be conducted in the future.

Topic Selection: Final Topic Selection — After receiving feedback from the Topic Selection: Find a Gap Assignment, the student will then resubmit the Topic Selection: Final Topic Selection Assignment, choosing one topic selection based upon the professor’s feedback, highlighting measurable variables for the Research Proposal Paper Assignment

possible solutions to suicide

Required Resources
Read/review the following resources for this activity:

Textbook: Chapter 1
Lesson
Minimum of 1 outside scholarly source (sociology in our times)
Initial Post Instructions
Sociologist C. Wright Mills preferred to call the sociological perspective the sociological imagination, and he saw it transforming personal troubles into public issues. Let us begin our discussion this week by considering suicide, which is thoroughly explored in your textbook reading for this week.

For the initial post, respond to one of the following options, and label the beginning of your post indicating either Option 1 or Option 2:

Option 1: How does the sociological imagination help to examine private acts such as suicide within a larger societal context and how does it help us consider the causes and possible solutions to suicide?

Deficit Spending

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
Write an essay analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of deficit spending and the effects of federal government borrowing on the economy i.e., the “crowding out” effect.

Final Paper

In any career, it is important to have a personal philosophy that can help you to focus your work, understand why you do what you do, and communicate more effectively with others.  This final paper is a 7-9-page paper describing your personal philosophy of human learning.  The goal for this paper is to develop and communicate your own personal view of learning. Ideally, you would be able to use this as a guide for your future career and developing strategies to better facilitate human learning (in the many forms that takes).  You may utilize any theory/concept that we covered in class (and additional topics with approval) to support this philosophy.

It is more critical for you to convey how you relate a theory, idea, or topic to your vision/philosophy of learning than in demonstrating how much you know (though that will likely show up if done sufficiently).  In essence, tell me about what you care about, how you believe people learn, and how this will guide your future career goals.

Formatting: Your paper should include a title page and reference page.  The paper should be in accordance with APA formatting.  Please utilize at least 7 references to support your philosophy.

Grading: See the rubric for more detail, but your grade will be primarily based on the integration of course material into your philosophy.  You will also be graded on writing clarity, style, and level of adherence to APA formatting.

Self-Reflection
Through this paper, the student demonstrates depthful self-reflection on how the theories of human learning fit within their own worldview. This means that they are thinking about how the material applies to their life based on past experiences, intersecting identities, and possible career goals.
