Analyze the arguments for government intervention as opposed to arguments for market-based solutions

Analyze one (1) of the following government intervention programs:

Countercyclical fiscal policies (countering economic disruptions such as the housing bubble and the Great Recession)
US agriculture support programs
Assistance for Low Income Families (choose 1)
Housing vouchers
Earned Income Tax Credit (including Child Tax Credit)
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)
Low income healthcare (choose 1)
Medicaid (including Children’s Health Insurance Program).
Affordable Care Act expansion
Social insurance programs (choose 1)
Old Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance (OASDI)
Medicare
Unemployment insurance
Write a 700- to 1,050-word summary of your analysis. Identify the intervention and the market failure leading up to the intervention. Complete the following in your paper:

Analyze the arguments for government intervention as opposed to arguments for market-based solutions. Hint: See the information about market failures.
Examine who has been helped and who has been hurt by the selected government intervention.
Examine externalities and unintended consequences of such intervention. For example, consider whether the SNAP program and health coverage for low-income families result in higher future tax revenues because low-income children grow up healthier and produce higher incomes over their lifetimes.
Analyze whether cost of the intervention you selected as a share of GDP or the number of participants is increasing, decreasing, or varies with the state of the economy, based on the cost trend(or number of participants) since its inception or since 2000.
Analyze credible economists’ opinions on the success or failure of the intervention that you chose in achieving its objectives.
Recommend whether the program should be continued as is, discontinued, or modified based on your conclusions. Defend your recommendation.
Note: Use of charts and graphs is encouraged with appropriate citations. Any charts or graphs retrieved from the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis FRED website may only be included when the data sources used by FRED are US government sources such as the Bureau of Economic Analysis or the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Summarize the COSO Risk Management Framework and COSO’s ERM process.

The following material may be useful for the completion of this assignment. You may refer to the documents Embracing Enterprise Risk Management: Practical Approaches for Getting Started and Developing Key Risk Indicators to Strengthen Enterprise Risk Management at the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission website(LINK:https://www.coso.org/Pages/default.aspx).

Imagine you are an information technology manager employed by a business that needs you to develop a plan for an effective enterprise risk management (ERM) program. ERM has not been a priority for the organization, but failed corporate security audits, data breaches, and recent news stories have convinced the board of directors that they must address these weaknesses. As a result, the CEO has asked you to create a brief overview of ERM and provide recommendations for establishing an effective ERM program to address this area.

Instructions
Write a 3–4 page paper in which you:

Summarize the COSO Risk Management Framework and COSO’s ERM process.
Recommend the approach management should take to implement an effective ERM program. Include the issues and organizational impact they might encounter if they do not implement an effective ERM program.
Analyze the methods for establishing key risk indicators (KRIs).
Suggest the approach that the organization should take to link the KRIs with the organization’s strategic initiatives.
Use at least three quality resources in this assignment (in addition to—and which support—the documents from the COSO website referenced in this assignment). Note: Wikipedia and similar websites do not qualify as quality resources.

In a composition of no more than 750 words, describe the nature of your proposed project topic

In collaboration with your approved course mentor, you will choose a specific evidence-based practice proposal topic for the Capstone Project. Consider the clinical environment in which you are currently working or have recently worked. The Capstone Project topic can be a clinical practice problem, an organizational issue, a quality improvement suggestion, a leadership initiative, or an educational need appropriate to your area of interest as well as your practice immersion (practicum) setting. A combination of 100 “supervised clinical hours” in community health and leadership areas will be obtained through the application of the objectives listed in the “Guidelines for Undergraduate Field Experiences” manual and as captured in the ISP.
Practicum immersion experiences are required in a community health setting. Community health and leadership practice immersion can occur in the same site and in conjunction with the evidence-based project in the NRS-490V course. Definitions of community-based settings should encourage community integration and involvement; expand accessibility of services and supports; promote personal preference, strengths, dignity; and empower people to participate in the economic mainstream. Examples of the integration of community health, leadership, and an EBP can be found at Healthy People 2020.
The goals of the practice immersion experience is to apply the learning from your research, community health, and leadership courses:
After studying this course, you should be able to:
Demonstrate and apply knowledge of factors to consider when planning to work with a chosen community.
Demonstrate and apply knowledge of approaches that will facilitate engagement of the community.
Demonstrate and apply knowledge and skills required to work constructively with communities.
Demonstrate and apply knowledge related to engagement of organizational leadership and change agents.
Demonstrate and apply knowledge related to disseminating project findings/data with organizational leadership and change agents.
Demonstrate and apply knowledge related to completing an evidence-based project to impact population health outcomes.
Demonstrate and apply Healthy People 2010/2020 principles related to completing an evidence-based project to impact population health outcomes.
According to Healthy People.gov, educational and community-based programs and strategies are designed to reach people outside of traditional health care settings. These settings may include:

Schools
Worksites
Health care facilities
Communities
Each setting provides opportunities to reach people using existing social structures. This maximizes impact and reduces the time and resources necessary for program development.

In a composition of no more than 750 words, describe the nature of your proposed project topic. Include the following in your discussion:

The setting or context in which the problem, issue, suggestion, initiative, or educational need can be observed.
A description providing a high level of detail regarding the problem, issue, suggestion, initiative, or educational need.
Impact of the problem, issue, suggestion, initiative, or educational need on the work environment, the quality of care provided by staff, and patient outcomes.
Significance of the problem, issue, suggestion, initiative, or educational need and its implications to nursing.
Preview and utilize the “Project Topic Checklist” resource located in the topic materials to assist in developing your proposed Capstone Project topic. This resource will assist you in organizing your work and will provide additional information regarding the assignment. Note: You are required to retrieve and assess a minimum of 15 peer-reviewed articles. Plan your time to complete this assignment accordingly.
