Before deciding the job requirements and specifications for hire, a manager must determine what are the tasks and duties necessary to accomplish the job efficiently. A job analysis must be done periodically due the introduction of new technologies; tasks will change and need to be adapted. Job Analysis There are three (3) key points that have to be taken into consideration when performing a job analysis. (Milkovich, Newman & al 156) 1. There...

...A Summary of the Journal Article: Seasonal Obsessive‑Compulsive Disorder = A Summary of the Journal Article: Seasonal Obsessive‑Compulsive Disorder Obsessive‑Compulsive Disorder is excessive thought (obsessions) that lead to repetitive behaviors. Seasonal Obsessive‑Compulsive Disorder, which is very rare, is when the symptoms occur during a certain time of the year; such as autumn or spring. This rare ten year (2004-2014) case study is about a patient whose Obsessive‑Compulsive Disorder had its onset during winter and remitted the following summer. This 41yearold housewife, educated up to sixth standard, hailing from middle socioeconomic status, with nil contributory family history, and suffering from hypertension and myopia in left eye (+0.75) and hypermetropia in right eye (−0.75), reported to outpatient clinic with history of 10years duration characterized by unpleasant, frequent, and distressing worries related to dirt and contamination (Sinha, P., Bakhla, A. K., Patnaik, A. K., & Chaudhury, S., 2014). These triggered the occurrence of long, nonfunctional repetitive behaviors such as cleaning and repeating the same words over and over. It was also stated both by husband and the patient that these symptoms have a seasonal pattern developing in October and completing the cycle in April-May. This pattern was so wellrecognized that she wasn’t given any treatment for the first three to four years as they considered it an result of the change of the seasons and that symptoms...

...System, Aug. 2008). 2 Information about Kaiser Permanente was synthesized in part from a presentation by CEO George Halvorson to a Commonwealth Fund Commission on a High Performance Health Care System meeting in San Francisco, and from the Commission’s site visit to the Kaiser Permanente San Francisco Medical Center in March 2007. Additional information was obtained from presentations, telephone interviews, or e-mail communications with the individuals named in the acknowledgments; from information and documents available on the organization’s Web site (www.kp.org) and from regulatory filings; and from other presentations and publications cited below. 3 A summary of findings from all case studies in the series can be found in D. McCarthy and K. Mueller, Organizing for Higher Performance: Case Studies of Organized Delivery Systems. Series Overview, Findings, and Methods (New York: The Commonwealth Fund, 2009). 4 For examples, see A. C. Enthoven and L. A. Tollen, “Epilogue,” in Toward a 21st Century Health System, edited by A. C. Enthoven and L. A. Tollen (San Francisco: Jossey-Bass, 2004). 5 The Colorado region developed an EHR in collaboration with IBM Corporation that was fully functional by 1997. Physicians in the Northwest region had access to an EHR (from Epic Systems Corp.) starting in 1994; exam room computers were installed in 2001. Kaiser began rolling out the Colorado EHR to other regions early in the decade but reevaluated that decision...

...Sampling Techniques Name Institution Sampling Techniques At the Critical Care Unit, visiting hours are restricted in a guise to allow patients to rest and nurses to provide care in a setting that guarantees modesty and patient privacy. Over the years, though, perceptions have changed and practitioners believe that family presence plays is crucial for improved patient outcomes (Kable, Chenoweth, Pond, & Hullick, 2015). Research, however is necessary to assess whether this new perception is realistic or influenced by certain unrealistic factors. However, further research is always necessary before making such major changes in the healthcare sector. Possibly, nurses are expressing interests in the change without a consideration of the initial factors that were considered when the policy was adopted. Random sampling is necessary to avoid biasness, include all crucial participants, and for certainty of reliable findings (Sawbridge & Hewison, 2013), which is necessary for the evaluation of the validity of the new perceptions before instituting any change is necessary. Since the study ought to capture a diverse group of nurses, patients, and family members, then sampling is appropriate. Researchers will gather information from three samples; nurses, patients, and family members. With a properly structures research question, hypotheses, and questionnaires relevant to the three groups, it will be easy to gather enough data from the three groups. Usually, data collected from...

...Synthesis of Bariatric Surgery and the Effects on Comorbidities Abstract This synthesis of literature provides a summary of the data that has been collected over the years through experimentation, literature reviews, qualitative research, and the results that have been construed from that data will be presented. It discusses the concept of the effects of bariatric surgery and answers the question - do people who have the surgery have better health outcomes, specifically with hypertension and type II diabetes mellitus, than those who do not? A summary of research reveals that there is a significant reduction and/or total remission of both of these co-morbidities that were often life long. Other benefits, such as quality of life, social standings, and healthcare cost reduction are examined and positively reported. Review of current data to include strengths and weaknesses, conceptual frameworks, and the current state of knowledge reveal that bariatric procedures have shown the efficacy and safety in the treatment of morbid obesity and have gained wider acceptance in the medical world. Synthesis of Bariatric Surgery and the Effects on Comorbidities For years people have turned to diets in an effort to lose weight and get healthier. At no time has that been more the case than in America today. People spend billions of dollars a year trying to lose weight and the numbers are not encouraging. The prevalence in obesity with related Type...

...Annals of Internal Medicine Clinical Guidelines Screening Mammography in Women 40 to 49 Years of Age: A Systematic Review for the American College of Physicians Katrina Armstrong, MD, MSCE; Elizabeth Moye, BA; Sankey Williams, MD; Jesse A. Berlin, ScD; and Eileen E. Reynolds, MD Background: The risks and benefits of mammography screening among women 40 to 49 years of age remain an important issue for clinical practice. Purpose: To evaluate the evidence about the risks and benefits of mammography screening for women 40 to 49 years of age. Data Sources: English-language publications in MEDLINE (1966 – 2005), Pre-MEDLINE, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials and references of selected studies through May 2005. Study Selection: Previous systematic reviews; randomized, controlled trials; and observational studies. Data Extraction: Two independent reviewers. Data Synthesis: In addition to publications from the original mammography trials, 117 studies were included in the review. Metaanalyses of randomized, controlled trials demonstrate a 7% to 23% reduction in breast cancer mortality rates with screening mammography in women 40 to 49 years of age. Screening mammography is associated with an increased risk for mastectomy but a decreased risk for adjuvant chemotherapy and hormone therapy. The risk for death due to breast cancer from the radiation exposure involved in mammography screening is small and is outweighed by a reduction in breast cancer mortality...

...EBT1 Task 1 Critique of a Nursing Research Article A1. Article Ford, Y. , Heyman, A., Chapman, Y. (2014). Patients’ perceptions of bedside handoff; the need for a culture of always. Journal of Nursing Care Quality, 29(4), 371-378. A2. Graphic Background Information | The purpose of this article was to identify patient perceptions of bedside handover through directly asking patients about their care. The study was done on a two in-patient medical-surgical departments at Borgess Medical Center in Michigan. They had implemented bedside handoff at shift change 18 months prior to this study. Then a sample of patient participants was chosen from the two nursing departments for the study. They had to meet certain criteria to be a participant and they had to experience three handoffs. Then they were given a survey to fill out after the beside handovers. Participants were positive about the RN bedside handoff process. The overall mean from the survey was 3.32 on a scale of 1 (strongly disagree) to a 4 (highly agree). | Review of Literature | There were multiple references that provided statistics and facts during this study. Most of these studies have focused on implementing bedside handoffs and nurse perceptions of the handoff. Published studies that focused on patients’ perceptions of beside handoff have been mainly qualitative. Recently, researchers have published...

...e and Functions K evin Ngozi N w o g u A bstract--Studies i nto the organization of information in the medical research p aper have tended to present accounts of the structure of information in s ections in isolation. The structure of information in all sections of the medical r esearch paper was investigated using Swales' (1981, 1990) genre-analysis m odel. An eleven-move schema was identified, out of which nine were found t o be "normally required" and two "optional". Each schema was found to e mbody "constituent elements" and to be characterized by distinct linguistic f eatures. The study provides insights into the nature of discourse organization in this genre of written discourse. © 1997 The American University. Published b y Elsevier Science Ltd I ntroduction A s with most experimental research reports, the medical research paper is a highly technical form with a standard format for the presentation of i nformation. This format is the division of the paper into "Introduction, M ethods, Results and Discussion" - - the traditional IMRD sections of the r esearch paper. M ost research article writers are familiar with the IMRD format, but not all are conscious of the fact that there exists an internal ordering of the i nformation presented in the various sections of the research article. This l ack of awareness may account partly for the difficulty which most writers, e specially new entrants into the academic discourse community face with p roducing...

...Summary of Chapters 11-21 Bateson started to hypothesize that evolution came about due to the loss of genes, and then, after the loss of genes, recombination occurred. From the work of Roentgen, Stevens, Seguy, Quenisset, and Frieben, related to X-rays, Mavor was able to show, in Drosophila, that exposure to X-rays increased the frequency of nondisjunction. In 1938, Bridges used Painter’s drawings to develop a system for describing each band. After many years of exploring what caused male determination, Jacobs and Strong showed that mammals are, in fact, similar to Melandrium, where the Y is the male-determining chromosome. Lewis showed that position effect is not dependent on how the chromosomes are positioned. From this study, the terms cis and trans were introduced into the genetics vocabulary. Landsteiner’s work with blood determination allowed Decastello and Sturli to form the common ABO blood grouping system. The work of Garrod and metabolic pathways allowed Beadle, Tatum, Winge, Avery, and others to increase our current knowledge on the subject....

...Health Promotion Health promotion has become a very important role for the nurse to play in the care of the patient. The United States Public Health Service states “health promotion is the process of advocating health in order to enhance the probability that personal (individual, family, and community), private (professional and business), and public (federal, state, and local government) support of positive health practices will become a societal norm.” (Edelman & Mandle, 2010, p. 16) Health promotion can be identified as primary, secondary or tertiary prevention. With primary prevention of health promotion the focus is on prevention of disease processes. Secondary prevention focuses to identify the disease before the manifestation of symptoms become apparent and the tertiary focus of health promotion is the treatment of the symptoms of the disease process once is has manifested in the patient. (Grand Canyon University, 2011, para. 8- 10) The role of the nurse changes as the prevention focus changes. For example, a group of individuals living along the Texas/Mexico border was identified as being high risk for the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus. The patient population was working class poor without the ability to afford health insurance and clinics with waiting lists so long they were not adequately serving the community. The study showed there was a “demand for health education among the very poor and for participatory programs that meet their needs through...

...Secure Data Sharing in the Cloud Danan Thilakanathan, Shiping Chen, Surya Nepal and Rafael A. Calvo 1 Introduction Cloud systems [1, 2] can be used to enable data sharing capabilities and this can provide an abundant of benefits to the user. There is currently a push for IT organisations to increase their data sharing efforts. According to a survey by InformationWeek [3], nearly all organisations shared their data somehow with 74 % sharing their data with customers and 64 % sharing with suppliers. A fourth of the surveyed organisations consider data sharing a top priority. The benefits organisations can gain from data sharing is higher productivity. With multiple users from different organisations contributing to data in the Cloud, the time and cost will be much less compared to having to manually exchange data and hence creating a clutter of redundant and possibly out-of-date documents. With social networking services such as Facebook, the benefits of sharing data are numerous [4] such as the ability to share photos, videos, information and events, creates a sense of enhanced enjoyment in one’s life and can enrich the lives of some people as they are amazed at how many people are interested in their life and well-being. For students and group-related projects, there has been a major importance for group collaborative tools [5]. Google Docs provides data sharing capabilities as groups of students or teams working on a project can share documents and can collaborate...
