Performance Measures

In healthcare, the terms “balanced scorecard” and a “dashboard” are used to describe performance measurement tools that are broad in scope but summarized in a few key indicators. In this assignment, you will create a specific dashboard for an operating Week of a healthcare organization.
Tasks:

    -Select and describe a specific division of a larger healthcare organization, such as an emergency department, a surgical service, or a physician practice.
  – Locate at least three recent (within the past three years) journal articles from professional, peer-reviewed journals that discuss dashboard, balanced scorecard, and performance measurement in your chosen healthcare division.
  – Write a review of each article and include complete citations.
  – Based on the information learned, create and justify the need for four categories of measurement, such as customer satisfaction or financial performance. For each of these four categories, create three specific performance measures. For each measure, describe how it is calculated and/or where the data can be found.
  – Explain how the performance measures may change if the analysis is for the organization as a whole rather than a division of the organization.

What is it to be ethical?

/in /by

What is it to be ethical?  Does Epicurus give a sufficient account of being moral, or must more be added?  [What we call ethics are here defined as being the same thing as morality, the subject Ethics, the same as Moral Philosophy, etc.  Students are to avoid ruminations on differences between ethical and moral, etc., and get to the actual topic assigned. Avoid outside research that takes you to hazy ruminations on the meaning of ‘ethics’ or ‘morals,’ and just get down to offering a specific ethical theory in the manner of Socrates, Epicurus, Kant, or other figures in the course. Make sure you have a strong thesis statement. Place your thesis statement in the first paragraph of your paper.  I advise, making it the first sentence.  Use ‘and,’ commands and semi-colons, etc., to fit all the thesis ideas into one, grammatical-sentence. Course textbook is called Classics of western philosophy, Steven Cahn, 8th Edition. Hackett Publishing. Print version recommended but you could use a PDF.
