Assignment: Academic Success and Professional Development Plan Part 2: Academic Resources and Strategies
New construction projects begin with a design phase, where architects blueprint the vision complete with design details. They work in collaboration with builders who use the designs to prepare the appropriate strategies, tools, and materials to bring the vision to reality. You are both architect and builder of your success. You have started to blueprint your vision in your Academic Success and Professional Development Plan. You have identified others with whom you will collaborate. Now you can begin to prepare the appropriate strategies, tools, and materials

How will you approach your studies? What types of resources are available to you, and how will you access and utilize them? Taking the opportunity to prepare these strategies, tools, and materials will help ensure you can break ground without incident and successfully move to the phase where you begin building your vision.

To Prepare:

Consider your goals for academic accomplishments while a student of the MSN program.
Reflect on the strategies presented in the Resources for this module.
The Assignment:

1)Where in the World Is Evidence-Based Practice?

March 21, 2010, was not EBPs date of birth, but it may be the date the approach grew up and left home to take on the world.

When the Affordable Care Act was passed, it came with a requirement of empirical evidence. Research on EBP increased significantly. Application of EBP spread to allied health professions, education, healthcare technology, and more. Health organizations began to adopt and promote EBP.

In this Discussion, you will consider this adoption. You will examine healthcare organization websites and analyze to what extent these organizations use EBP.

To Prepare:

Review the Resources and reflect on the definition and goal of EBP.
Choose a professional healthcare organizations website (e.g., a reimbursing body, an accredited body, or a national initiative).
Explore the website to determine where and to what extent EBP is evident.

Post a description of the healthcare organization website you reviewed. Describe where, if at all, EBP appears (e.g., the mission, vision, philosophy, and/or goals of the healthcare organization, or in other locations on the website). Then, explain whether this healthcare organizations work is grounded in EBP and why or why not. Finally, explain whether the information you discovered on the healthcare organizations website has changed your perception of the healthcare organization. Be specific and provide examples.

Any time you are copying words from a source without putting them in quotes you are engaged in plagiarism. Avoid the temptation to closely paraphrase books, for example by taking phrases from an article or book, changing one or two connecting words, and stringing them together to form part of your paper this is plagiarism. Write in your own words and use quotes where appropriate. If you have questions about academic dishonesty, the College of Liberal Arts provides information about this both online and offline.

Systems Analysis and Design – REPORT SDLC

**You must be native English speak adept in writing in the North American style. I am North American.**

** You must have extensive experience writing Systems Analysis and Design or Software Development Reports**

About this Assignment

You will need to score at least 95% for the assignment and it must not be plagerized as it was be tested. For this assignment, you will write one report that covers the seven steps in the system analysis and design process based on a hypothetical firm’s business profile. Your report should focus on defining, justifying, and planning the project, and on the tasks associated with testing, implementing, and maintaining the proposed system. Your report should be a minimum of 2,000 words.

Scenario

Backyard Adventures (BA) is a guided tour and water sports rental company in Jacksonville, Florida run by two brothers, Shawn and Harry Weaver. They advertise Backyard Adventures in several local and regional magazines and web sites, but the Weavers don’t feel that it is attracting new business.

BA rents space at a nearby marina, where Shawn runs the office, and handles rentals on the days Harry’s busy with the tour groups. BA has two main business segments: rentals and guided tours but also does some instruction on the side if needed. Customers are required to make reservations in advance for scheduled tours but sometimes space is available for extra customers. Rentals are booked by reservations and walk-in customers.

Melissa Smith, a local college student, handles the telephone inquires and reservations. Daily she enters the reservations in a binder, with tabs for each business activity. This list is used to back-up the Microsoft Access database that she uses to record reservations. Each morning, she runs a report that will print out the reservation list for the day. Not only does she maintain the reservation database, but she also uses an accounting software to keep BA’s books.

Although the BA database handles the basic information, Harry has noticed some drawbacks. On several occasions the reservations for the tours have conflicted with his availability. Shawn and Harry would like to get information about rental patterns, customer profiles, advertising effectiveness and future business opportunities. They have been talking about either updating their system or replacing it with a new information system that would meet their current and future needs but needs more details on which option is feasible for the company. Your job is to help come up with a plan to address these issues.

Writing the Report
You will have some discretion as to how you would like to structure your report to best deliver your proposal, but your report must address the following questions about each step in the systems analysis design process:

#1. Planning: Define the scope of the problem. You know that BA has a mix of manual and computer-based techniques and they want to update their system or buy a new system. Explain the steps in a feasibility study to determine the anticipated cost and benefits for the best option for BA. * Produces a clear and unambiguous problem statement. Clearly defines project scope, objectives, limitations, benefits, weaknesses, and potential risks.#1

#2. Requirements: Justify the functional requirements. Explain what documentation will be used to analyze the needs of the end users to ensure the new system can meet their expectations? * Clearly explains the overall design objectives; clearly defines functional and non-functional requirements; analyzes the constraints and limitations of the system in depth. #2 & #3

#3. Design: Use the information that you received from the system requirement documentation to explain how you will design the new or updated system. What are the necessary specifications and operations of the user interface that will meet the functional requirements? Will you use a logical design or a physical design and why?

#4. Development: Explain the development paths that will help start production using these three key topics: the impact of the Internet, software outsourcing, and in-house software development. * Identifies all costs associated with operations, implementation, tangible/intangible benefits, hardware, software, and facility for #4-6

#5. Testing: Discuss how the system will be tested to determine if the proposed design meets the business goals.

#6 Implementation: How will the system be implemented? Who will use it and what is the training plan? What would be the cost of implementing the system? Discuss the post-implementation evaluation plan, does the system meet specified requirements.

#7. Maintenance: Does the system need any updates to improve performance? Identity all maintenance activities that will help with making the system operate more efficiently.* Identifies all maintenance activities used to improve the systems performance; corrective, adaptive, perfective and preventive #7

Formatting & Sources
Please write your paper in APA format. Make sure you cite sources using APA format.
