Congratulations!!You are the new project / quality manager at Health Clinic Quality Improvement Experts LLC, a local company for the past 12 years in the Indianapolis, IN area. Your first assignment will be for the Dr. Donald Snickerbush, Hamilton County, Colonoscopy Clinic. The clinic has five teams performing colonoscopies at their Carmel, IN facility. Each team consist of an Admittance Expert, a Triage and Preparation Nurse, an Anesthesiologist, a Procedure Nurse, a Proctologist, a Post Procedure Nurse Specialist and a Closure Nurse. The clinic has the ability and facilities to run five lines of work at any one point in time and a separate patient arrival area / waiting room. The clinic has some concerns as to its business and increasing revenue as well as the quality of its services.Our Corporate / Six Sigma Project Objectives in this engagement include:Reduce the number of colonoscopy process errors system wide.Improve documentation of colonoscopy administration.Reduce waste in product and time in colonoscopy administration.Improve patient satisfaction with their colonoscopy experience.Improve bed flow for patients receiving a colonoscopy.Our overall objective is to increase our patient turn-around per day while at the same time increasing our patient customer satisfaction results, increasing our clientele and decreasing medical errors.In order to complete the needed objectives we will apply a Six Sigma full DMAIC process. Please see the documents to be created for the project below. As a team, it is extremely important to all of you that you participate in the creation of every document listed below in some way. That you leave this course with the knowledge of what that document is for and what it typically contains. You will need to create all of the documents as a team and you will use those documents to create slides for your project status presentation Sunday morning using Power Point. You will have 21 slides and related notes and documents.Cover SlideProject Charter (Friday)Statement of Work (SOW) (Friday)Scope Document (Friday)Complete Risk Identification (Friday)Create a Risk Matrix (Friday)Create a Risk Remediation PlanDefine the Problem by Developing a “Problem Statement” (Friday)Define the Goal by Developing a “Goal Statement” (Friday)Define the Process by Developing Process Maps (Saturday)Measure - Determine What Variables We Will Study (Saturday)Measure - Create a Plan to Collect the Data (Saturday)Analyze - Look for What Might be Causing the ProblemAnalyze - Verify the Cause(s) of the Problem (Saturday)Improve - Brainstorm Solutions That Might Fix the Problem and Select the Practical Solutions (Saturday)Improve - Develop Maps of Processes Based on Different Solutions (Saturday)Improve - Select the Best Solution(s) (Saturday)Control - Design Measures to Ensure Improvement (Saturday)Document the Improved Process (Saturday)Continuously Improve the Process Using Lean Principles (Saturday)Closing ThoughtsHow do I approach this?Internet research is your friend – good Google topics = Six Sigma, Lean, Risk Management, DAMIC, DMADV, Colonoscopy, Improving healthcare with Six Sigma, Project Quality, Risk Matrix,I know:-That many of you are thinking that I have no experience with healthcare, Six Sigma, colon rectal care, project management, risk control, Lean, etc. What you must realize is that when you seek employment as a project manager or a quality project person, you will always have this conundrum of how much do I really need to know about the area of work the project lies within (telecom, IT, construction, travel, human resources, insurance, health care, finance, etc.) do be effective at my job. You will have potential employers who will think you need to know a great deal. You will meet folks like me who would advise that is not the case. What you must be ready to do is learn / absorb as much knowledge in the area of project work as soon as possible. Be ready to explore all of your options to gain and find the knowledge you need to function effectively. You need to have just enough vocabulary and knowledge to operate and communicate well and that will then continually grow as the project moves forward. This is part of what makes being a project manager such fun – it is never the same – never boring.NOTE:I NEED 21 SLIDES EXCLUDINGCOVER SLIDE AND REFERNECE.I NEED THE NOTED TO ALSO EXPLAIN EACH SLIDESEACH SLIDES SHOULD HAVE 100 WORDS ATLEAST AND ALSO NOTES.AND ALSO I NEED A WORD DOCUMENT EXPLAINING EACH SLIDEI NEED A GIST OF PPT IN 3 TO 4 HOURS ONCE YOU ACCEPT IT AND THEN WITHIN 15 HOURS, ENTIRE PPT

I am looking for my initial post and 2 classmate responses.For this discussion, play your second run of the Macroeconomics Simulation: Econland (from Harvard Business Review), in which you act as a the chief economic policy advisor for the fictional country of Econland. Select either the Rollercoaster or Stagnation scenario option. You may play the simulation as many times as you like. This will directly support your success in your course project, due in Module Eight.In your initial post, include an image of your simulation report. (See Module Seven Simulation Discussion Screenshot Instructions.) Then address the following:Share your experience in the simulation. In your opinion, which policy decisions were more successful and why?Why does the simulation provide you with a global economic outlook for each year? How does an open economy versus a closed economy impact government policy decisions? Use information from the textbook or the news to support your answer.At the end of each year, the simulation highlights changes in consumer confidence. Why is the economic indicator “consumer sentiment” relevant for making successful policy decisions? Use news sources to support your answer.In your responses, comment on at least two posts from your peers, and compare and contrast your simulation experience and analysis. Refer to the textbook to support your decisions and your claims related to open economies and consumer confidence.To complete this assignment, review the Module Seven Simulation Discussion Guidelines and Rubric.Module Seven Simulation Discussion Guidelines and RubricOverviewYour active participation in the discussions is essential to your overall success this term. The simulation discussions in this course allow you to share your experiences playing simulation games related to the final project simulation.

I will admit that my first run had a better result than the second run. If I learned anything from last time is to not drastically change things. Do it in small increments. So, when I needed to bring GDP growth up then I would lower interest rate, if I needed to bring up popularity then down went the income tax (though in small ticks), if the income tax is lower then people love you.The simulation not only gives you data about what is going on in your own county but gives you an overview of what is happening in other countries. An open market is an economic system with little to no barriers to free-market activity (Investopedia). A closed economy is one that has no trading activity with outside economies, which means no imports or exports come or leave the country (Investopedia). An open market is more accessible with few, if any, boundaries to prevent a person or entity from participating. The larger and more established players may make it more difficult for smaller or newer companies from making a presence in the markets but there are no regulatory barriers to entry (Investopedia). In closed markets, however, that there are more prohibitive regulations that constrain free market activity. Closed markets can restrict who can participate or can allow pricing to be determined by any method outside of supply and demand (Investopedia). Of course, no county is exclusively closed or opened but maybe more strongly one or the other. Examples of open markets are the U.S., Canada, Western Europe, and Australia, and examples of closed markets are Brazil, Cuba, and North Korea.Consumer confidence can be the big decision-maker for governments and businesses. If consumer confidence is high then that can lead to a boost in production and inventories, an increase in hiring rates, higher housing construction rates and so much more. If, however, consumer confidence is low that can lead to a decline in consumer spending, a crease in inventories, and a delay in investing in new projects and facilities, and governments will ready for a reduction in future tax revenues and more.

I found the scenario to be much more interesting this time than the one we did a couple of weeks ago as I had a little more knowledge of what I was doing. In this scenario, I would lower the interest rate if I needed to increase the GDP growth, I would lower the income tax if I needed to raise my popularity, I would use the corporate tax to help control my debt as well as the employment rate and I would adjust my spending trying to keep my dept as close to zero as possible. I started having a large surplus then I would increase my spending, which also helped with my popularity. The simulation gives you global economic health as that could have a large impact on your economy. For example, your countries exchange rate will determine if it's more profitable to import or export. It also will control how much your citizens have to pay for items that are imported. A closed market won't have to worry about the exchange rate as they don't participate in the imports or exports.Consumer confidence is important when making policy decisions as it represents how much trust the citizens have in the economy. When the trust is low spending will slow and saving will rise which could affect the GDP, As we learned from the great recession.Week 7 discussion.PNG(141.35 KB)Week 7 discussion.PNG(141.35 KB)week 7 homework.PNG(56.31 KB)Week 7 homework 1.PNG(124.76 KB)Table 1.PNG(49.96 KB)Table 2.PNG(80.03 KB)Table 3.PNG(66.43 KB)
