Considering Malpractice

Instructions
Consider the scenario you already selected in Unit I for your course project:
Considering Malpractice (p. 7) Below***
Continuing as the legal aide, you are now asked to prepare a summary and review of the process the organization has for determining competency at the time the employee in the scenario was hired and in an ongoing manner, which is typically an annual evaluation.
As this case is hypothetical, you will use a current or former organization where you were employed as the basis for the organization of the subjects employment. If you do not have current or former experience in an emergency medical services (EMS) organization, you may research and contact an EMS agency of your choosing to help answer the questions.
You should identify specifically those components that speak to the issues in the scenario you selected. Your paper should include a summary of the following:
The specific components of the application and hiring process used to determine whether the employee met the minimum performance standards that play a role in the case.
Summarize the steps taken by the organization to ensure ongoing competency in the areas of performance questioned in the scenario.
Identify any state or local laws and regulations with which your agency is required to comply that relate to the ongoing competency of personnel in the affected area.
What evaluation instruments does the organization use to measure competence in the affected area?
If a deficiency is identified at any point in the employment of the individual, what types of remediation efforts would be made to bring the employee into compliance?
Your paper should be a minimum of three pages, not including the title and reference pages.
You must use a minimum of three sources, not including your textbook. These may include peer-reviewed articles, professional organization websites, and government websites/documents.
All sources used must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying citations. All references and citations used must be in APA style.

***Case Study:
Side Bar Considering Malpractice
Consider this example of a medical malpractice action: Two EMTs are called to transport an elderly male from a nursing home to the local hospital. They arrive at the scene and observe that the patient is morbidly obese and has a BiPAP in place. The patient is in respiratory distress. The EMTs place an O2 saturation detector on the mans finger and see that his O2 saturation is only 84 percent. The patient is moved to a stretcher, and the EMTs attempt to intubate him after administering a paralytic through IV tubing that was placed by the nursing home staff. One of the EMTs misses the first intubation and must ventilate the patient for 2 to 3 minutes with a bag-valve mask. Both EMTs reattempt the intubation two more times, and on the third try, using an endotracheal tube with a lit stylet, they believe that they are in the trachea but fail to confirm placement of the tube following local protocol. The transport time is 15 more minutes. At the time of arrival at the emergency room (ER), the ER physician discovers the tube placement is in the esophagus, so he reintubates the patient, who immediately goes into cardiac arrest and dies.
In such cases, a civil action against the EMS provider is more likely than a criminal action. For the supervisor, it is imperative that documentation of the incident has been completed and that the EMT or paramedic provider supplies a statement of the incident to attach to the medical incident report form (MIRF).

Final Assignment: The English 131 Portfolio

Final Assignment: The English 131 Portfolio
Due Date: Jun 11th
Your final assignment for this class is an online portfolio, which is worth 70% of your final grade. The portfolio is your chance to show yourself and me that your writing has developed over the course of the quarter and that you now understand and can apply the course outcomes. Your online portfolio will include seven sections:
– An Introductory Reflection
– A section for each outcome with a reflection and a revised draft (x4)
– A Final Reflection
– A Section with all the drafts you chose not to revise: Compendium
Note: All these drafts must be included AND the appropriate page length in order for your portfolio to be considered complete!
So what should you include in each section?
The Introductory Reflection
You can think of as your portfolio’s homepage, so you will want to provide an introduction to your portfolio generally. It is your opportunity to welcome your audience and explain the context of your portfolio: How does it relate to the course outcomes and the course itself? You might want to attach an image that will give your audience greater insight into the theme or purpose of your portfolio.

In addition to being an introduction to your portfolio, your homepage is also an introduction to your critical reflection pieces. You need to present your main claim about how your writing as a whole demonstrates mastery of the course outcomes. You will probably want to provide a brief discussion of the evidence you will use to back up that main claim (which papers for which outcomes).
The Outcome Sections (x4)
– The Reflection: Focusing on one of your revised drafts and the course outcomes as evidence, you will show how you have met the writing goals specified by each outcome. Be sure to use specific detail and to cite your work when necessary.
Your commentary should do two things:
(1) Demonstrate your understanding of the outcome, in general. You should answer both of these questions: What does this outcome mean? and Why does this outcome matter for good reading and writing practice?.
(2) Demonstrate your ability to execute the outcome, in detail. You should offer specific evidence from your embedded work to show how you fulfilled the outcome in a specific context and why it contributed to your thinking and writing. Answer the questions: When/where/how did you demonstrate this outcome? and How did the outcome improve your writing?.
A compelling critical reflection quotes, paraphrases, or summarizes directly from your papers. Other evidence can come from peer feedback, teacher feedback, and tutor feedback.
– The Revised Drafts: A complete portfolio includes four (significantly) revised papers: one major paper and three short ones. The pieces you choose for final evaluation should be evidence of your best work and demonstrate the full range of your ability. This means that you should be careful to select a complement of work that will demonstrate each of the English 131 Course Outcomes.
In revising the earlier drafts you may wish to change the structure of the paper, the evidence used, the major claims or minor claims presented, or the larger rhetorical strategies at play. Minor alterations of word choice and punctuation should also be made but do not count as revision. Revision should not be limited to my comments and suggestions on drafts. Throughout the course, weve concentrated on learning and practicing new and different writing techniques. Applying the new stuff that youve learned to the old stuff that you wrote is important. Thus, my comments should be understood only as starting points for revision.
Following your reflection, you will embed both the original draft of your paper (after peer review if it was peer reviewed) followed by a significantly revised draft. Do not include drafts that you brought to class for peer review or peer review worksheets.

Note: You may want to use a paper as evidence for more than one Outcome. This is fine, but I prefer you focus your outcome reflection on one of your revised papers (a different one for each outcome) – this is the one you should embed. Feel free to reference papers that are attached to other outcomes, making it clear to me where I can find that other draft.
The Final Reflection:
This the place to conclude your portfolio by addressing its “stakes.” Why does it matter that you have learned to apply the outcomes in your writing? How will the outcomes help you in your future classes? Your major? Your career? How do you see the work you’ve done this quarter translating to other situations, either in or out of school?

I don’t want you to tell me that this class has changed your life. I do want you to tell me how the skills you’ve gained will influence your writing in other classes or the “real world.” You may want to consider your strengths and weaknesses coming into this class and coming out of it. What still needs improvement? How will you continue to improve?
Keep in mind: The reflections are pieces of argumentative writing. Your argument is that you have learned how to apply the Course Outcomes and your evidence is your showcase of work from the semester. Thus, you should be applying the same writing strategies to your cover letter that you have been developing all semester, including:
– Making major/minor claims about your work
– Providing context to situate the reader and help make sense of evidence
– Summarizing, synthesizing, and using quotations to support claims
– Providing stakes: Why does it matter that you have learned what you have?
The Compendium:
A complete portfolio includes every assignment you have been asked to complete over the quarter. Therefore, you will attach all of the drafts you chose not to revise on the compendium page of your site. Incomplete portfolios will receive a failing grade. Prompts for missed assignments are available on the course website. Note: To be considered complete, assignments must meet the required page count.
The Release Form:
This page is optional, though I would be so grateful if you would include a release form that would allow me to use your work to model outcomes/assignments. Future English 131 classes will thank you for your help!
Heres the statement:
I, [student name], hereby give my consent to Instructor Kexin Song to use my electronic portfolio submitted for English 131 during Spring Quarter 2021 for purposes of instructional training and modeling, programmatic considerations, and academic publications and presentations. I understand that granting or not granting this release will not affect my grade in this course.
Submitting in Your Portfolio:
During our in-class portfolio training session, you will create and submit the link to your Canvas e-Portfolio. As you continue to work on and update your portfolio, the changes will automatically reflect in the link you have sent me, so you will not need to update the link. You will however submit the link on canvas (Final Assignment) as soon as your portfolio is complete. After 11:59 p.m. on June 11th (PST), no more changes may be made to the portfolio.

Your paper should include an introduction, background of the case, and answers to the question in a paper format. Again, please do not bullet your answers and do not include the case questions, but write a paper that flows from paragraph to paragraph. You must use APA and cite the text book.

Case Study: Stop & Shop’s Scan It! App
The grocery store and supermarket shopping industries have combined annual revenues in the hundreds of billions of dollars. With little variation in available item selection and less money being spent on groceries in the downtrodden economy, competition for customer loyalty continued to grow. By using business analytics to help process buying habits of its customers, Stop & Shop, a Quincy, Massachusettsbased grocer, tried to get a better grasp on the hardtounderstand concept of customer loyalty in grocery shopping.

Stop & Shop introduced Scan It!, a portable electronic device for customers shopping in its stores. The device allowed customers to scan and bag products, expediting checkout times at the end of their shopping trip. Additionally, the device offered deals based on the location of the scanner (and therefore the customer) in the store. Locationspecific discounts in real time became increasingly popular among customers as use of Scan It! grew by 10% in both the first and second quarters after it’s introduction. The most beneficial aspect of the Scan It!, however, came with the powerful analytics software built into the device by Modiv Media in which Stop & Shop owns a minority interest. The software kept track of each customer’s past and present purchasing habits in order to individualize coupons in real time for the customer.

The scanner resulted in three positive trends for Shop & Stop. Customer loyalty grew, allowing the company to secure an increased customer base than area demographics would predict. Additionally, each shopper’s basket size increased as the individually tailored coupons enticed customers to buy more. Lastly, Shop & Stop’s customer base grew as word of mouth marketing brought in more customers to try the stateoftheart device.

However, after a couple of years, Stop & Shop saw customer adoption plateau. In October 2011, the grocer created the Scan It! app for the iPhone and Android. By eliminating the need to sign in and retrieve a scanner at the store, customer adoption of the device continued its upward climb. Additionally, as customers became increasingly concerned about saving money while shopping, Stop & Shop built in budgeting software to allow customers to track their spending more effectively. Ads for the new app proclaimed: New Mobile App Allows Customers to Shop, Bag, and Tally Their Grocery Order with Their Personal iPhone and Android Devices. Scan It! was heralded as a first of its kind grocery app that allows customers to use their personal mobile device to scan, tally, and bag their groceries while they shop.

Stop & Shop had bundled an app that not only rewarded customers who shopped at its stores by helping them save money but also tracked information on sales, which the company loaded into its data warehouse and used to understand its customers. Analytics then helped Stop & Shop put the right items on its shelves to maximize sales and create customer loyalty.

Discussion Questions
What is the benefit of the Scan It! data to Stop & Shop? What are some of the questions the company could answer about its customers?
How would you assess the level of capabilities of Stop & Shop’s use of analytics? What might the company do differently with the data to gain more value?
What is the benefit of Scan It! for the customers? What concerns might shoppers have about their privacy? How would you advise Stop & Shop management to respond to these concerns?
