Classmate A 's post:Compassion would seem to be a biologically based part of human nature that has been passed down through our genes. In the video lectures, Professor Kelter talks about how mothers feel a compassion towards their offspring and would care for them. This is also seen in primates as the mothers would wail and cry towards the loss of their offsprings. Compassion goes hand in hand with sympathy and this is a concept that Darwin argued has been increased over time as a part of natural selection. Another example that highlights that compassion is a biological trait of human nature was the study done by Cordaro (Lecture Video 2, 5:00). This study highlights that other ethnicities can detect the different emotions that an individual is feeling without using any words to describe their emotions. The reason as to why this is important is because humans know what compassion is and understand the emotions universally.Compassion can also be influenced by our surroundings. I would like to think that all humans carry some level of compassion towards one another and that compassion can be elevated or lowered through the environment we are exposed to. For example, a child who grows up in a home with two parents who constantly volunteer for food drives and homeless shelters has the potential to do the same when they grow older. On the other hand, a child whose parents do not participate in these activities is less likely to do the same. Culture can also play a large role in how compassionate we are. In my culture, we place a high emphasis on showing compassion and respect to our elders, so that is a trait that was ingrained in me as a child. Other cultures have different values and shape the individuals respectively. Classmate B response post to A:Hi, AI really appreciate the ideas you put forward and your in-depth analysis certainly attracts my great attention and gets me immersed in deep thinking. Compassionate people understand and anticipate the feelings of others to the greatest extent possible. They can understand each other's situations and care about each other's needs. In addition, I think compassion is linked to the moral sense. For example, helping others is an expression of self-affection and empathy for others, an expression of affection for the unfortunate situation of others, or care and support in action. In a broad sense, it also includes support for justice.Classmate C 's original post( you should reply to this post) ( this one is not urgent, I can add the time about 12 hours, but you must give me the original post before deadline):Compassion is biologically based and has evolved by watching our social network perform (or not perform) acts of service for others or actively participating in the act of compassion towards other family members. I believe that witnessing these traits as we grow helps us become more compassionate people. There are a lot of families that do not act with compassion, and it’s later passed down to the growing child I would imagine. This is still a bit of a confusing perspective though, because i have two other siblings that are not compassionate at all. They grew up with the same parents, the same home environment, food, access to everything, education, etc. One difference is that they were not as exposed to helping others at a young age for some reason. My parents put less effort into teaching them compassion when they were younger (I am the youngest, maybe this desire to share compassion more often, came later in my parents life) and maybe this is why we have this difference in the way we operate towards others.Compassion is shaped like cultural values as I touched on above, we witness (or don’t) compassion in our social networks growing up. We mimic the things we see displayed in our safety network of family. I was always exposed to helping others by being brought to places like Project Angel Food to help cook for bed-bound patients, give back to people who were homeless, and often dedicate our time in nursing homes during holidays. It was built into my values/practices. I have worked with compassion in all of my work because of this background and have become a nursing assistant working in lock-down units for people with Alzheimer’s. This is because I was made aware of the rewarding feeling of giving back, very early on. I enjoy seeing people feel safe and happy, being made to feel seen and heard. It has become my goal in life to create these moments for other people, probably in large part because it was instilled in my culture and values growing up.

Develop a paper that reviews some of the main topics covered in the course. Compose an essay to address the elements listed below. Identify the components of an information system (IS) using the five-component framework, and provide a brief summary of each.Explain Porter’s five forces model.Management IS (MIS) incorporate software and hardware technologies to provide useful information for decision-making. Explain each of the following IS, and use at least one example in each to support your discussion: a collaboration information system, a database management system, a content management system, a knowledge management/expert system, a customer relationship management system, an enterprise resource planning system, a social media IS, a business intelligence/decision support system, and an enterprise IS.Identify and discuss one technical and one human safeguard to protect against IS security threats.There are several processes that can be used to develop IS and applications such as systems development life cycle (SDLC) and scrum (agile development). Provide a brief description of SDLC and scrum, and then discuss at least one similarity and one difference between SDLC and scrumSum up your paper by discussing the importance of MIS. Your paper must be at least three pages in length (not counting the title and reference pages), and you must use at least two resources. Be sure to cite all sources used in APA format, and format your essay in APA style.

ContentFor this assessment, you will create a 2-4 page report on an interview you have conducted with a health care professional. You will identify an issue from the interview that could be improved with an interdisciplinary approach, and review best practices and evidence to address the issue.As a baccalaureate-prepared nurse, your participation and leadership in interdisciplinary teams will be vital to the health outcomes for your patients and organization. One way to approach designing an improvement project is to use the Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) cycle. The Institute for Healthcare Improvement describes it thus:The Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) cycle is shorthand for testing a change in the real work setting—by planning it, trying it, observing the results, and acting on what is learned. This is the scientific method adapted for action-oriented learning…Essentially, the PDSA cycle helps you test out change ideas on a smaller scale before evaluating the results and making adjustments before potentially launching into a somewhat larger scale project (n.d.). You might also recognize that the PDSA cycle resembles the nursing process. The benefit of gaining experience with this model of project design is that it provides nurses with an opportunity to ideate and lead improvements. For this assessment, you will not be implementing all of the PDSA cycle. Instead, you are being asked to interview a health care professional of your choice to determine what kind of interdisciplinary problem he or she is experiencing or has experienced in the workplace. This interview, in Assessment 2, will inform the research that you will conduct to propose a plan for interdisciplinary collaboration in Assessment 3.ReferenceInstitute for Healthcare Improvement. (n.d.). How to improve. Retrieved from http://www.ihi.org/resources/Pages/HowtoImprove/de...Demonstration of ProficiencyCompetency 2: Explain how interdisciplinary collaboration can be used to achieve desired patient and systems outcomes. Summarize an interview focused on past or current issues at a health care organization.Describe collaboration approaches from the literature that could be relevant in establishing or improving an interdisciplinary team to address an organizational issue.Competency 3: Describe ways to incorporate evidence-based practice within an interdisciplinary team. Identify an issue from an interview for which an evidence-based interdisciplinary approach would be appropriate.Competency 4: Explain how change management theories and leadership strategies can enable interdisciplinary teams to achieve specific organizational goals. Describe change theories and a leadership strategy that could help develop an interdisciplinary solution to an organizational issue.Competency 5: Apply professional, scholarly, evidence-based communication strategies to impact patient, interdisciplinary team, and systems outcomes. Communicate with writing that is clear, logically organized, and professional, with correct grammar and spelling, using current APA style.Professional ContextThis assessment will introduce the Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) Model to create change in an organization. By interviewing a colleague of your choice, you will begin gathering information about an interprofessional collaboration problem that your colleague is experiencing or has experienced. You will identify a change theory and leadership strategies to help solve this problem.ScenarioThis assessment is the first of three related assessments in which you will gather interview information (Assessment 2); design a proposal for interdisciplinary problem-solving, (Assessment 3); and report on how an interdisciplinary improvement plan could be implemented in a place of practice (Assessment 4). At the end of the course, your interviewee will have a proposal plan based on the PDSA cycle that he or she could present to stakeholders to address an interdisciplinary problem in the workplace.For this assessment, you will need to interview a health care professional such as a fellow learner, nursing colleague, administrator, business partner, or another appropriate person who could provide you with sufficient information regarding an organizational problem that he or she is experiencing or has experienced, or an area where they are seeking improvements. Consult the Interview Guide [DOCX] for an outline of how to prepare and the types of information you will need to complete this project successfully.Remember: this is just the first in a series of three assessments.InstructionsFor this assessment, you will report on the information that you collected in your interview, analyzing the interview data and identifying a past or current issue that would benefit from an interdisciplinary approach. This could be an issue that has not been addressed by an interdisciplinary approach or one that could benefit from improvements related to the interdisciplinary approach currently being used. Additionally, you will start laying the foundation for your Interdisciplinary Plan Proposal (Assessment 3) by researching potential change theories, leadership strategies, and collaboration approaches that could be relevant to issue you have identified.When submitting your plan, use the Interview and Issue Identification Template [DOCX], which will help you to stay organized and concise. As you complete the template, make sure you use APA format for in-text citations for the evidence and best practices that are informing your plan, as well as for the reference list at the end.Additionally, be sure to address the following, which corresponds to the grading criteria in the scoring guide. Please study the scoring guide carefully so you understand what is needed for a distinguished score.Summarize an interview focused on past or current issues at a health care organization.Identify an issue from an interview for which an evidence-based interdisciplinary approach would be appropriate.Describe potential change theories and a leadership strategies that could inform an interdisciplinary solution to an organizational issue.Describe collaboration approaches from the literature that could facilitate establishing or improving an interdisciplinary team to address an organizational issue.Communicate with writing that is clear, logically organized, and professional, with correct grammar and spelling, and using current APA style.Additional RequirementsLength of submission: Use the provided template.
