Download and use the format in the “Sample Paper.” Review and study Chapters 13, 14, and 15 in the textbook (Nowicki, 2018). Review and study the PowerPoints posted on Blackboard.   Use critical thinking and metacognition when you read the Mini-Case Study (Nowicki, 2018, p. 321): Suppose you are the new Chief Executive Officer (CEO) at Memorial Hospital.  Memorial is a nonprofit hospital with 300 beds and is located in a busy metropolitan area directly adjacent to a large university.  Memorial is the only hospital within a 20-mile radius of campus, but construction on a new competing hospital has just started within 5 miles.   Identify three forecast content items.  How will they be measured? What is the expected status of the content items in the future? Which forecasting techniques should you use? Create a thesis statement based on the scenario above that is relevant to financial management in healthcare delivery.   

Emotions are a constant component of organizational behavior. Read Case Study 4.2 on pp. 123-124 of your textbook (*attached*) , and write an essay answering one the following questions: 1. To what extent do the three people featured in this case study manage their own emotions on the job? How would they accomplish this? To what extent do you think they effectively manage emotions under these circumstances? 2. This case study states that nurses and other medical staff need to manage the emotions of their patients. Why is emotions management important in this job? In what ways do medical staff alter the emotions of their patients? 3. Stress is mentioned throughout this case study. How does this stress occur? What stress outcomes occur for people in these types of jobs? How can these people try to minimize high levels of stress? You will need to identify your own thoughts and cite specific passages from the case study to support your point of view. Your essay should be written in standard essay form with a minimum of 300 words. All sources used, including the textbook, must be referenced using proper APA formatting; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying citations.Reference McShane, S. L., & Von Glinow, M. A. (2013). Organizational behavior: Emerging knowledge, global reality (6th ed.). New York, NY: McGraw-Hill/Irwin.

Confidence Intervals In everyday terms, a confidence interval is the range of values around a sample statistic (such as mean or proportion) within which clinicians can expect to get the same results if they repeat the study protocol or intervention, including measuring the same outcomes the same ways. As you ask yourself, "Will I get the same results if I use this research?", you must address the precision of study findings, which is determined by the Confidence Interval. If the CI around the sample statistic is narrow, you can be confident you will get close to the same results if you implement the same research in your practice. Consider the following example. Suppose that you did a systematic review of studies on the effect of tai chi exercise on sleep quality, and you found that tai chi affected sleep quality in older people. If, according to your study, you found the lower boundary of the CI to be .49, the study statistic to be 0.87, and the upper boundary to be 1.25, this would mean that each end limit is 0.38 from the sample statistic, which is a relatively narrow CI. (UB + LB)/2 = Statistic [(1.25 + .49)/2 = .87] Keep in mind that a mean difference of 0 indicates there is no difference; this CI does not contain 0. Therefore, the sample statistic is statistically significant and unlikely to occur by chance. Because this was a systematic review, and tai chi exercise has been established from the studies you assessed as helping people sleep, based on the sample statistics and the CI, clinicians could now use your study and confidently include tai chi exercises among possible recommendations for patients who have difficulty sleeping. Now you can apply your knowledge of CIs to create your own studies and make wise decisions about whether to base your patient care on a particular research finding. Initial Post Instructions Thinking of the many variables tracked by hospitals and doctors' offices, confidence intervals could be created for population parameters (such as means or proportions) that were calculated from many of them. Choose a topic of study that is tracked (or that you would like to see tracked) from your place of work. Discuss the variable and parameter (mean or proportion) you chose, and explain why you would use these to create an interval that captures the true value of the parameter of patients with 95% confidence. Consider the following: How would changing the confidence interval to 90% or 99% affect the study? Which of these values (90%, 95%, or 99%) would best suit the confidence level according to the type of study chosen? How might the study findings be presented to those in charge in an attempt to affect change at the workplace?
