Waldenville Pediatric Clinic Case Study:Read the following scenario and access the necessary document to complete the two items.Waldenville has engaged you and a team of healthcare managers to consult on a new healthcare organization. Waldenville Pediatric Clinic, a new facility that will meet the healthcare needs of Waldenville’s citizens under 18, is due to open in a matter of months. You have been hired to consult on the setup and structure of the facility.Click each of the items below to complete this assessment.Part I: PowerPoint PresentationYou have been asked to explain the organizational structure of the new clinic in a PowerPoint presentation for the board of trustees. Create a 12-slide presentation that maps the organizational structure of the new clinic and includes the following:Title slide (1 slide)Create a graphic showing the organizational structure (1 slide)Describe the duties and responsibilities for each of the 8 positions described in the Waldenville Pediatric Clinic Overview (8 slides)For each position, describe at least 3 duties or responsibilities that would be assigned to that person.Note: This step requires you to do some research on similar positions in other organizations and tailor it to a Pediatric Clinic.Describe at least two missing positions needed for the success of the organization (1 slide)References (1 slide)Reference at least one appropriate scholarly source in APA format.(12-slide PowerPoint presentation)Part II: Roles and Responsibilities for Clinic ExpansionTwo years have now passed since the clinic opened successfully. The clinic has now decided to expand its hours of service to 8 p.m. each day. The additional 3 hours will require additional staffing based on the following duties and competencies needed to meet this expansion of service, both for medical personnel and for health management personnel:Receiving and checking in patients (staff of 1)Examining, diagnosing, and treating patients (staff of 1)Billing patients and insurance companies (staff of 1)Observing and recording patient behavior and counseling and educating patients and families (staff of 2)Packaging pharmaceuticals for distribution to patients (staff of 1)Obtaining insurance authorization from patients and maintaining patient records (staff of 1)Ensuring all patients receive effective care (staff of 1)Marketing the clinic’s new hours (staff of 1)Delegate the roles and responsibilities necessary for the clinic’s expansion of business hours. Justify your delegation.Explain why workforce motivation is especially important in this type of situation.From a management perspective, explain at least two strategies that you would use to motivate employees who are in new or changing roles.Your response should be 4–5 paragraphs in length.

Outpatient services and post-acute services have recently come under the scrutiny of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to ensure quality of care to ultimately control costs.Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) Value-Based Purchasing went into effect on October 1, 2018, for the fiscal year 2019. Nursing homes that offer short-term rehabilitation and get reimbursed by Medicare Part A fall into this category. Specifically, SNFs will have a reduction in Medicare reimbursement based on rehospitalization rates. CMS will look back 2 years and will compare the rehospitalization rate from 2016 to 2018 for year one. Low-performing SNFs can potentially lose 2% on their Medicare fee-for-service (FFS) reimbursement.Sunnyside Nursing Home, from Week 4, continues to have a 35% readmission rate, so the leadership is anticipating they will be affected by the Medicare discount. Medicare may also consider a reduction in hospice reimbursement as well, potentially 1.8%. Based on these expected changes and current data, you will make a recommendation regarding the future census planning at Sunnyside.To Prepare:Review the Sunnyside Nursing Home Revenue Plan.Familiarize yourself with the information found on the Overview of Terms tab.Review the Sunnyside Nursing Home CMS Discount Revenue media piece in the resources to assist you in calculating the few missing cells in the Revenue Plan.Study the completed Revenue Plan tab to see the impact of the Medicare changes.The AHCA NJ tab lists the projections for long-term care for New Jersey, where Sunnyside is located. Review the information, especially in the 85+-year-old column to see the impact, if any, on nursing home demand in New Jersey.The American Health Care Association (AHCA) website has several resources to guide healthcare planning in the United States: https://www.ahcancal.org/research_data/Pages/LTC-P... Download and analyze the Long-Term Care (LTC) Patient Projections report for your state. Look for your state to view the impact of the aging population. Pay specific attention to the 85+ trend.Complete the remaining calculations in the Sunnyside Nursing Home Revenue Plan.Based on the information in the report from AHCA and the spreadsheet, what recommendation would you make regarding the future census planning at Sunnyside? By Day 4Post a comprehensive response to the following:What are some of the future issues and concerns related to healthcare financing in the United States?How might healthcare policy inform financing of healthcare, and what might that mean for the quality of health?How will value-based purchasing affect healthcare providers? Review the information in the Sunnyside Case Study to guide this response. How can a healthcare provider ensure viability in the new value-based paradigm?Would you consider new technologies for Sunnyside to employ to reduce readmissions? By Day 6Respond to at least two of your colleagues by suggesting at least one way that a SNF can reduce rehospitalizations from SNF and/or how a SNF can continue to be successful as new regulations reduce reimbursement without negatively impacting quality patient care.

Week 9: Multiple RegressionLast week you explored the predictive nature of bivariate, simple linear regression. As you found out, and its name implies, bivariate regression only uses one predictor variable. As social scientists, we frequently have questions that require the use of multiple predictor variables. Moreover, we often want to include control variables (i.e., workforce experience, knowledge, education, etc.) in our model. Multiple regression allows the researcher to build on bivariate regression by including all of the important predictor and control variables in the same model. This, in turn, assists in reducing error and provides a better explanation of the complex social world.In this week, you will examine multiple regression. In your examination, you will construct research questions, evaluate research design, and analyze results related to multiple regression.Learning ObjectivesStudents will:Construct research questionsEvaluate research design through research questionsAnalyze multiple regressionAnalyze measures multiple regressionEvaluate significance of multiple regressionAnalyze results for multiple regression testingAnalyze assumptions of correlation and bivariate regression (assessed in Week 10)Analyze implications for social change (assessed in Week 10)Evaluate research related to correlation and bivariate regressionLearning ResourcesRequired ReadingsFrankfort-Nachmias, C., & Leon-Guerrero, A.

Doing so will bolster your knowledge of the concepts you’re learning this week and throughout the course.Assignment: Multiple Regression in PracticeFor this Assignment, you will continue your practice as a critical consumer of research. You will critically evaluate a scholarly article related to multiple regression.To prepare for this Assignment:Use the Course Guide and Assignment Help found in this week’s Learning Resources and search for a quantitative article that includes multiple regression testing. Also, you can use as guide the Research Design Alignment Table located in this week’s Learning Resources.For this Assignment:Write a 3- to 5-paragraphs critique of the article (2 to 3 pages). In your critique, include responses to the following:Why did the authors use multiple regression?Do you think it’s the most appropriate choice? Why or why not?Did the authors display the data?Do the results stand alone? Why or why not?Did the authors report effect size? If yes, is this meaningful?
