We depend a lot on you for this type of course. that is evident in the quality and quantity of your writing. So, a bit of what is required from you is to summarize the readings. Too little not good and too much not necessarily needed. Some of what we do will require you give back information that you read and some of what we do allows you to give your opinions (that is called critical analysis, when you give opinion based on fact). Most importantly try to enjoy learning something you may not have known before!1. What is sociology and the sociological perspective? What do you see are some of the most important uses of sociology? What is meant by the nature vs. nurture debate in the social sciences? Describe and compare and contrast functional theory, conflict theory, and symbolic interactionism.

Identify potential challenges related to the OB/GYN unit’s performance.

ScenarioYou are the CFO of a rural hospital. During a recent review of the organization’s financial status, the hospital was deemed “at risk” for closure. Several factors contribute to the at-risk designation, including the state’s decision to opt-out of the Medicaid expansion program, the aging population which requires more expensive care, and the changes in reimbursement from Medicare. These challenges have resulted in rural facility closures across the country. As part of the strategic management team, you are charged with reviewing various facility units and making recommendations that may avoid closure. You determine that based on the profitability reports, the OB/GYN unit of the facility is underperforming in several key financial areas.InstructionsIn a written proposal to the hospital CEO, Administrator, and CMO, discuss the following:Identify potential challenges related to the OB/GYN unit’s performance.Explain potential trends in the community impacting health consumer utilization patterns.Explain the potential benefits of reorganization within the unit and how reorganization could improve its financial status.Recommend a course of action and the implications that those actions will have for patients, providers, and investors (i.e., how might closure affect the community or how might new service offerings, such as midwife services, improve profitability).APA 7th edition formatRubric:Clear and thorough identification of specific challenges related to the OB/GYN unit’s performance.

Draw an FDD of the organization under investigation.

InstructionsPlease refer to the originalWillowbrook School Case Studyand previous case study assignments as neededRead the additional background information belowComplete the tasksthat followSubmit ONEfile (a document)Additional BackgroundWillowbrook School has decided to proceed to the systems analysis phase, based on the findings and proposal you presented after the preliminary investigation. A summary of your fact-finding is as follows:Fact-Finding SummaryBilling and payments for Willowbrook School have two components; tuition and after-care. Tuition is a fixed fee, set in the spring of the prior academic year. After-care fees have two components, a fixed fee based on the time-block of after-care the student is pre-registered for, and a variable fee based on any additional time that the student may have used on a “drop-in” basis. There are several different time blocks that students can be registered for in after-care, dependent on whether the child is in pre-school, kindergarten or primary school. For preschoolers, time blocks are noon – 1:30 p.m., noon – 3:30 p.m. and noon – 5:30 p.m. For kindergarten students, time blocks are 1:30 – 3:30 p.m. and 1:30 – 5:30 p.m. For primary school students the 3:30 – 5:30 time block is available. These time blocks are the time blocks available for drop-in after-care as well. In addition, for pre-registered students not registered for the entire afternoon, the 1:30 – 3:30 blocks and 3:30 – 5:30 blocks can be utilized on a drop-in basis.There are two payment options for tuition and the fixed component of after-care. Parents can pay the entire amount by August 1 prior to the start of the school year; or the fixed fees can be spread out over a 10-month period, starting July 1 prior to the start of the school year. A discount of 5% is applied to fees for parents choosing the lump sum payment option. Parents who have more than one child enrolled at Willowbrook are eligible for a 5% discount on tuition for all enrolled children.Payment for after-care used on a “drop-in” basis is billed monthly and is added to the bills for parents who are paying in 10 monthly installments. New bills are generated for “drop-in” care for those who paid fees in a lump sum.Monthly bills for fees and “drop-in” care are due on the first of the month and are distributed to parents one week prior to their being due. Parents who have more than one child enrolled in Willowbrook receive a separate bill for each child. Willowbrook has not had a policy of charging interest on late payments, because it has not been a problem except in one or two cases per year. These cases are handled on a case-by-case basis.The billing is done using Microsoft Excel. Susan sets up a new workbook for each academic year. Each month Susan creates a new worksheet in the workbook. The worksheet maintained contains one line per student. Each line contains the following billing and payment information for the student:Name of StudentNames of ParentsAmount of Discount on fixed feesMonthly fixed tuition feeMonthly fixed after-care feeDiscounted fixed feesMonthly “drop-in” feesTotal Monthly fee (calculated field)Payment receivedAmount paid to date (calculated field)Amount outstanding (calculated field)The entry for each student is updated twice each month, once to prepare the bills and once to record the payment. Entry for bill preparation requires the monthly statements from after-care detailing all “drop-in” hours for each student. Currently, the monthly statements include a listing for each child, detailing date(s) and time(s) of drop-in hours. From this listing, Susan Brown enters a total charge for additional after-care provided.A summary monthly report is generated for the finance committee from this spreadsheet summarizing fee collections for tuition and after-care. The finance committee also receives separate monthly reports detailing payroll expenses for all employees. Reports need to be ready for distribution at the finance committee meeting which is scheduled for the third Monday of every month.In light of the plan to expand the system to handle less sensitive administrative tasks, and the fact that Susan Brown’s workstation is used by volunteers to assist in the production of newsletters and calendars for parents, you have been asked to ensure that the billing system be made secure somehow, so that volunteer workers cannot access financial information. Susan Brown has indicated that the most useful new feature that could be added to the system would be the ability to generate one bill per family per month, listing each student’s charges separately, and an overall total. Also useful would be the ability to automatically generate a receipt at the time payments are recorded. This receipt should contain the information required for reimbursement requests from different types of Dependent Care and tuition accounts, including Name, location, and Federal Tax ID number of the school. In addition, parents have asked for a separatestatement accompanying their bill itemizing all drop-in after-care hours for that statement, including child’s name, date(s) and time(s) being billed for.TasksEach task below is to be presented in report format and in the order, the tasks are given.Functional Decomposition Diagrams (FDD)Draw an FDD of the organization under investigation.Explain the FDD of the Willowbrook School.Data Flow Diagram (DFD)Draw a context diagram.Draw a level 0 data flow diagram.Take 1 major process illustrated in the level 0 diagram and draw a level 1 diagram of the major process.Explain the 3 diagrams of the Willowbrook School.Grading Rubric Attached

Briefly explain the core moral ideal or principle of the theory and how that could be the basis of an objection to your argument.

In this final written assignment, you will combine what you have done in these two exercises by examining an ethical issue and defending your own position on an ethical question regarding that issue.This final written assignment should be written in form with the following clearly labeled sections:IntroductionEthical ArgumentExplanation and DefenseObjection and ResponseConclusionshould be between 1,300 wordsIn this section of the , you will begin with your ethical question, introduce the topic and d close with a thesis statement.The ethical question may be the same as your Week 3 written (“Applying an Ethical Theory”) or a revised version of it.The introduction should be revised in a way that reflects your additional thinking on the issue and question.End this section with a thesis statement that states your position on the issue (the answer to the ethical question you believe is strongest) and provides a brief summary of the main ideas you will be presenting in the . Please see the assignment guidance for examples of thesis statements.Place the introduction under the Part 1: Introduction heading.Part 2: Ethical ArgumentIn this section of the , you will present the strongest argument you can in support of the position you have stated in your introduction.This will be similar to the “supporting reasons” you offered in the first ; however, this argument should reflect your research into the key ethical issues that need to be identified and addressed, the arguments on different sides of this problem, and the theories of moral reasoning we have studied in the class (you will discuss the specific details and implications of the moral theories in the next two sections).You can think of this as a summary of the main argument you would give if you were an attorney trying to convince a jury of your position.Place this information under the Part 2: Ethical Argument heading.Part 3: Explanation and DefenseIn this section, you will explain and defend your argument by drawing on the moral theory that aligns most closely with the argument you presented in Part 2. This may be the same theory you discussed in your second assignment, but it may also be a different theory.You must first explain the theory in general terms similar to how you explained a theory in your second assignment, including a brief account of the historical background of the theory and the philosopher(s) associated with it and general overview of the core moral ideal or principle of the theory, including the way it guides and constrains moral reasoning.You should then clearly show how your argument represents an application of that form of moral reasoning.In other words, if the argument you present in Part 2 is utilitarian, deontological, or virtue-based (teleological), you will want to explain utilitarianism, deontology, or virtue ethics in general terms, then explain how your argument from Part 2 reflects or draws upon the core principles and values of that theory. Please refer to the Week 3 assignment instructions for directions on how to explain and apply the moral theory.Place this section under the Part 3: Explanation and Defense heading.Part 4: Objection and ResponseIn this section of the , you will present the strongest objection you can to your argument, and briefly defend that objection by appealing to a different ethical theory than the one you focused on in Part 3.Briefly explain the core moral ideal or principle of the theory and how that could be the basis of an objection to your argument. For instance, if you explained and defended your own argument by applying the principles of virtue ethics, you could raise an objection from the perspective of utilitarianism by briefly explaining the core utilitarian principle and how applying that principle could lead someone to a different conclusion than the one you are defending.Next, you should respond to the objection by explaining why it is not strong enough to undermine the main argument in defense of your position.See the assignment guidance for suggestions on how to effectively respond to the objection.Place this section under the Part 4: Objection and Response heading.Part 5: ConclusionIn this section of the , provide a summary of what you have done in the by briefly describing what you accomplished in each of the above sections.Place this section under the Part 5: Conclusion heading.
