Discuss the differences among the three major components of statistical methodology (descriptive statistics, statistical inference, and predictive statistics). Why might these distinctions be important to a manager? Refer to this week’s lecture before crafting your post. 150 words

 

In 1995 Jack Welch sent a memo to his senior managers telling them that they would have to require every employee to have started Six Sigma training to be promoted. Furthermore, 40 percent of the manager’s bonuses were to be tied to the successful introduction of  Six Sigma. Do you believe that this directive was a motivational action, or did it violate W. Edwards Deming’s maxim that managers and leaders must “cast out fear”? Why or why not? Refer to this week’s lecture before crafting your post.150 word

As the Chief Human Resource Officer of Community State University, you have just been contacted by your legal team. They informed you that your organization has been selected to undergo a Federal I-9 audit. You decided to do a spot check on 5 random departments and noticed that numerous I-9’s were filled out incorrectly. You only have one month before the auditors arrive to do an entire I-9 audit on over 100 departments and the president of the university expects a strategic update on how to tackle this issue in 2 days.

For the first part of your post, describe the immigration forms and documents needed to apply for a job. Research and review an I-9 Form and describe the documents that you would produce to establish legal U.S. status.

For the second part of your post, recommend a plan of action to correct the deficient forms described in the scenario above. In your discussion, analyze whether the I-9 Form and other documents are enough to establish legal status in the U.S. and are adequate protection for employers.

For the third part of your post, justify one additional safeguard that could be added to protect the employer from unknowingly hiring an illegal immigrant. Post to theDiscussion Area by Saturday, October 24, 2015, review, and comment on at least two of your classmates posts.

Read the following statements from your course textbook and answer the following questions:

There is no complementary or alternative medicine (CAM). There is only medicine; medicine that has been tested and found to be safe and effective . . . Medicine that has been tested and not found to be safe and effective . . . and medicine that is plausible but has not been tested . . .

How would you apply the above statement to CAM therapies?
“Complementary therapy” and “alternative therapy” are the terms used interchangeably. Do you think a meaningful difference exists between these two terms? Why?
What barriers exist in traditional (allopathic) medicines for acceptance of CAM therapies?
Why is it insufficient to rely on a century’s worth of anecdotal evidence for alternative therapies?

Keeping in view the fact that CAM involves key components that often differ from those of contemporary Western medical practices, answer the questions below:

If CAM therapies focus on wellness, how does this focus differ from allopathic medicine?
Proponents of CAM believe that the body is self-healing. What is your view regarding the same? Give an example from the course textbook or your experience to support this contention.
What role do plants play in supporting CAM interventions?
CAM therapies are often personalized. How does this individualization contrast with modern allopathic medicine?

The overarching goal of public health informatics is to apply computer science and information technology to promote health and minimize disease and injury at the population level. Public health informatics uses data from surveys, vital statistics, hospital and clinical statistics, private and public data sources, and government data sources for analysis in improving population health.

Key concepts of public health informatics include:

Data collection
Storage
Retrieval

Describe the most significant milestone(s) in the history of public health informatics.
Refer to the CDC and WHO websites and state the similarities and differences between the types of public health data available with both these organizations.

Describe the most salient issues facing the field of public health informatics today.
List and describe the various web-based data query programs that are available for different states, including your own

This week you will submit a description of your topic area and an outline for your Final Paper. To begin, select a topic area from the Health and Human Services field. Your topic should correspond to actual research studies that have been performed. You may find it easier to locate peer-reviewed sources as you select your topic area, to ensure that there is research available in the area you choose. Examples of possible topic areas include:

· Program effectiveness of community-based mental health treatment facilities.

· Perceptions of ethical competence among human service professionals working in long- term care.

· Treatment intervention outcomes for veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder.

· Characteristics of successful job placement programs for special needs adults.

· Trends in health care legislation and impacts on health and human service delivery.

In the first part of your assignment this week, describe your selected topic area, including the problem or background issues that you would like to address in your Final Paper. To do this, you will need to visit the Ashford University Library and locate at least eight peer-reviewed sources that pertain to your selected topic area. Your sources must present actual research studies that correspond to the problem or background of your selected topic area

Summarize the components, attributes, and/or various segments of the topic area you have selected.

For example:

· What is the research problem or issue?

· Who or what is affected by this problem or issue?

· What are some specific examples of research studies, evaluations, reports, literature reviews, etc. that address it?

· What are the findings of these sources, and what are their implications on the health and human services field?

Then, create a detailed outline of your Final Paper. Your outline should include at least headings and sub-headings, with at least a one- to two-sentence description for each. Indicate within each section which of your sources will apply to that section.

The Final Paper Outline should be two to three pages total (excluding title and reference pages) in APA format. One page will be the topic area description and summary and one to two pages will be the outline. Utilize a minimum of eight peer-reviewed sources that were published within the last 10 years and that are cited according to APA format as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center. For assistance with formatting outlines, visit the Ashford Writing Center and the Ashford University Library.
