Using what you learned in Modules 1-3 up to this point, discuss 3 key elements you think should be a part of US Healthcare reform.
Using what you learned in Modules 1-3 up to this point, discuss 3 key elements you think should be a part of US Healthcare reform. Since we do not know at this point whether the ACA will remain or will be repealed and replaced, what are 3 key elements that should remain or be introduced into US healthcare reform legislation?
For example, children up to the age of 26 being able to remain on their parent’s health insurance or mandates that everyone have healthcare. These are only examples, feel free to discuss any key elements from the readings or your own research. This assignment should be a maximum of 2 paragraphs in length and should be your own original thought. Please cite any sources you used in a standard format (e.g. APA or MLA). Purdues Online Writing Lab (OWL) can help with cited and writing. You can find OWL at https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/section/2/ . The rest of your submission should be 2 paragraphs (no more then 5 sentences in a paragraph!) on the 3 key elements you chose that should remain or be introduced as discussed above. Remember do not simply state your opinion; explain your rationale for your opinion. Be sure to write properly for an academic audience (review syllabus guidelines).
Grading Rubric:Submission reflects college level writing. Clear effort is made with sentence structure, word choice, grammar and punctuation. (4pts)
Post discusses 3 key elements of reform and clearly indicates the students perspective supporting it with rationale. (4pts)

Explain why the language structure is important for language and academic learning for ELLs.
Assessment Description
Teachers need a variety of resources to support students in developing a better command of linguistic knowledge, word order, and an understanding of language in context.Add information on syntax, semantics, and pragmatics to your digital toolkit as they apply to the teaching of ELLs.
For each language structure (syntax, semantics, pragmatics) include the following:
A one-sentence definition of the language structure.
At least 2-3 sentences explaining why the language structure is important for language and academic learning for ELLs.
Four classroom activities to support the development of the language structure and a brief explanation of how the activities can be differentiated for ELLs at various language proficiencies.
One at-home activity and a website link for families to assist with the development of the language structure at home. Include a 2-3 sentence explanation of how the at-home activity can address the various English language proficiencies of ELLs.
In addition, create a separate list in your digital toolkit that includes the following:
At least five resources (e.g., journal articles, videos, books, podcasts) that provide additional professional development and knowledge in the teaching and learning of English language structures
Citations for each resource (Note: These are separate from your scholarly resources.)

Research and review at least four peer-reviewed articles on evidence-based practice applied in clinical decision support (CDS)
Part 1:
Research and review at least four peer-reviewed articles on evidence-based practice applied in clinical decision support (CDS). Must be within 5 years.
Matrix attached
Part 2: Clinical Decision Support (CDS) Recommendation
Develop a 10- to 12-slide PowerPoint presentation in which you present your research and data to support your clinical decision support (CDS) recommendation for quality improvement.
Based on your research, address the following in your presentation:
Synthesize your findings from your four articles, focusing on applicable models and/or theories relevant to CDS, quality improvement in your workplace, and on applicable evidence-based practice in nursing.
Recommend CDS or information to consider in clinical decision making and explain your rationale for the recommendation. Be specific.
Justify your recommendation. Be specific and provide examples.
Recommend how you would address possible limitations or challenges, including:
Explain how you would avoid alert fatigue.
Explain under what conditions you would allow an override to an alert.
Explain how you would monitor compliance.
Identify factors that might contribute to continuous overrides.
Justify conditions under which an override may be necessary.
Discuss the elements of a material control system. Explain the information you would need to create a material requirements plan for this company. Under which type of production environment do you think an MRP system is most useful? Provide an example. What challenges may occur when using projected production levels to produce an MRP? Use examples for support.
This will be the foundation for future discussions by your classmates. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas.
For this Discussion Board, please complete the following:
Material requirements planning (MRP) is a computerized inventory control and production planning system. The primary goal of an MRP system is to make sure that materials are available when a company needs them. It is also used to minimize unnecessary inventory, which can lead to significant cost savings.
Assume that you work for a company that manufactures and sells nuts and bolts. Your products are typically small, but customers often require large orders with a quick turnaround time. There is little room for error on the floor where inventory is handled. Your manager has come to you with information about mix-ups in recent orders and some struggles with meeting deadlines with shipping times.
Review Material Requirements Planning (MRP), and answer the following questions:
Discuss the elements of a material control system. Explain the information you would need to create a material requirements plan for this company.
Under which type of production environment do you think an MRP system is most useful? Provide an example.
What challenges may occur when using projected production levels to produce an MRP? Use examples for support.

Your small business needs a new Wireless internet system. Select at least two Modems at least three Routers to create at least 6 combinations. Select a set of features that are important for YOU. Create a Pugh Matrix to help you decide which combination your small business or household should choose based on your needs.
Assignment #3 Concept Selection (Pugh Matrix)
A Pugh matrix is mean to help structure and represent an evaluation procedure to help in decision
making and weighing possible alternatives. While it is not meant to be a an Automatic decision making
process, it can be extremely beneficial in helping to choose possible alternatives that should be
considered.
What will we do?
Your small business (or your household) needs a new Wireless internet system (e.g. Modem, Wireless
Router, etc.). Select at least two Modems & at least three Routers to create at least 6 combinations.
Select a set of features that are important for YOU. Create a Pugh Matrix to help you decide which
combination your small business or household should choose based on your needs.
Why are we doing this?
Pugh matrices, invented by Stuart Pugh, are qualitative technique used to rank the multi-dimensional
options of an option set. It is frequently used in engineering for making design decisions. The
advantage of the decision-making matrix is that it encourages self-reflection amongst the members of a
design team to analyze each candidate with a minimized bias (for team members can be biased towards
certain designs, such as their own).
