Peer 1: please respond to the below discussions: Technology opens up the world to a whole new experience every day. The techniques are diverse, touching various spheres of life and in different ways. Business is an area where the information revolution has affected the foundations with refined intensity. Technologies such as big data and machine learning, advanced robotics and drones, sensors and intelligent manufacturing, clean-energy technologies and, cloud and mobile computing greatly transform foundations of global business and organizations. The traditional methods of business transactions are slowly losing their position in the modern industry. In place, there are newer business models with different structures and methodologies. The models are automated with fewer redundancies and more efficiency and productivity.More companies are adopting disruptive technologies like Ubiquitous computing; telecommuting is commonly becoming the norm of the new office space. An instance is team coordination that is not limited anymore by time, space, or place barriers. It has become easier to work on a project with persons you have never met, for places you have never visited, and maintaining a connection with the office anywhere, at anytime (Cascio & Montealegre, 2016). Telecommuting and other mobile work arrangements are sustainable by trending technologies. Communication tools in technology simplify the conveying of information, thus enabling working together despite working remotely. Meetings are now held remotely through video-conferencing technology, and document sharing is easier by the use of cloud-based file-sharing tools. Besides, there are workplace management tools, customer relationship, and automated follow-ups using AI tools.Moreover, technology impacted the actual workplace by opening up positions for telecommuters who work remotely. People can communicate and collaborate remotely. Besides, job seekers are not limited by location when looking for work, and hiring managers can find talents anywhere. The concept of co-working spaces is now common; freelancers and telecommuters attending to different jobs can share a communal office environment (Grant, 2019). There will be a great deal of change in the office space physically in the coming years. The personal workplace will become portable by using cloud communities and technology, open applications, and personal virtual assistants. According to (Palmer, 2020), organizations have to rethink their office design and incorporate changes. The changes are around remote working and shared office space. Due to collaboration and telecommuting, it expected that there would be a reduction in the desk space proportion. The areas can be redesigned to more responsive, collaborative work zones programmed for diverse groups to use. The change in office space is evident currently; companies have adopted the telecommuting in masses due to global circumstances like the COVID-19 pandemic. Also, the cementing of augmented reality will alter the need for physical offices. Implementation of technology will allow for improved office hygiene as they become contactless.ReferencesCascio, W.

Peer 2: The act of completing work or assignments  from a location other than office using internet and phone connection is called as Telecommuting.It is also defined as teleworking,telework, Working from home,mobile work,remote work is flexible. Telecommuting is the substitute of telecommunication for permitting work to be performed at a remote location ( Bush,2019). Telecommuting came into existence in the 1970's to describe work-related substitutions of telecommunication and related technologies for transportation.Jack nilles in1973 coined the term"telecommuting"and "telework".The person who telecommutates is known as telecommuter or teleworker.Many telecommuters work from home where as some work from coffee shops or other locations.They are called as Nomadic workers. Telecommuting is being introduced in many large and small scale organizations which helps in rapid growth of organization.Many workers are opting for telecommuting and hence offices are under-going physical transformations.Many people are being recruited actively by small companies to work from home lately ,with which the company can save the cost of office land space.There may be a lot of variations in the structure of companies starting from physical telecommuting will also have many disadvantages like employees are isolated from each other which might never bring the team spirit in their work but there are chances to over come them by development in technology.Companies in future will be changed a lot when compared to present ones as telecommuting is increasing rapidly.Reference: William R.

Week 7 Reply Quality and Performance Management in Healthcare APA Style Reply Should population health management focus on populations with the greatest disparities and health inequity, or areas where the greatest financial opportunities are present? Reply to each Peer about their post. Should population health management focus on populations with the greatest disparities and health inequity, or areas where the greatest financial opportunities are present? Reply 1 to Teacher (Teacher asked me a question pertaining to my post): Hello - you made some very important points related to this topic. I do agree with you that population health management should focus on population with the greatest disparities and health inequities. This is also a great point you mentioned: It comprises measures to reduce disease, provide adequate health and care services, and actions on broader health determinants. Work with communities as well as partner agencies is necessary. How can we continously strive to improve population healthcare through these measures? What can these measures show? Thank you, Professor Urmala Should population health management focus on populations with the greatest disparities and health inequity, or areas where the greatest financial opportunities are present? Reply to Martina: (Martina asked me a question pertaining to my post,): Hi, Like you, I agree that population health management should focus on populations with the greatest disparities and health inequity over the areas where the most significant financial opportunities are present. As you said, "A population health approach is based on the assumption that reducing health inequalities requires reductions of material and social inequities"- if this were the case, do you think population health management can run into problems financially by focusing on health disparities first? Thank you for sharing!

Scientific MethodsIn Week 1, you used the scientific method to design research studies (basic and applied). Now you will select one of them (either the basic or the applied one) and build upon it using the skills you have developed since then. You are going to write the ‘introduction and background’ and the ‘method’ section of your study. Make sure that you review peer reviewed articles so that you can model your sections after those in peer reviewed journal articles. The background section of your study should be supported by at least 10 peer reviewed journal articles. Be sure to also specify your experimental and null hypothesis. In the method section, you will need to identify the methods of data collection, the participants, and the procedure for your study. At the conclusion of these two sections you need to write a rationale for your study that includes the following:Analyze the types of sources used and how these choices may affect results.Justify why your chosen methods of data collection are the optimal choice.Discuss what type of approach you chose (e.g. qualitative, quantitative, or both) and evaluate why you chose this approach.Submission DetailsPlease provide your answers in a 3- to 4-page Microsoft Word document.Support your responses with examples.Cite any sources in APA format.
