Post 1

I worked for a rural hospital that had EICU. The tele-ICU allows rural areas to have access and treatment from critical care professionals by remote intensivists using technology like videoconferencing. Tele-ICU physicians can run codes, talk the care team through procedures, as well as speak directly to patients and/or their families to help with difficult care decisions.
Some advantages comes with tele-ICU such as another set of eyes on the patient from a command center reviewing charts, vitals, labs, and medications being inputted. The physician can turn on the monitor at any time and discuss care with the patient or patient’s family. Staffing tele-ICU allows increased efficiency and cutting staffing cost. Studies show that tele-ICU improves clinical outcomes, decreases mortality, shortens the length of stay, and increases staff readiness in changes for best practice. It also decreases the number of hospital transfers for specialty care, fewer families needing to drive long distance for care, and provide more care to rural areas.
The disadvantages of the tele-ICU are that command centers can be 1,000 miles away or in foreign countries which would leave the serious concern, “Is standard of care the same?” No backup plan available if tele-medical equipment malfunctions – who is responsible? Who will staff the unit? What will happen to the patient if an emergency comes about? If multiple interruptions or malfunctions occur the organizations would be at baseline without coverage. Tele-ICU could negatively impact the patient’s opinion on the facility due to the lack of patient-physician relationship, different patient experience, own lack of trust in telemedicine. A disadvantage would be could the information be jeopardize by hackers especially a high profiled patient. Since tele-ICU is different than other care particularly in terms of the risks to privacy and electronic storage and transmission of information should the patient be require to sign informed consent? If the patient doesn’t agree to tele-ICU should they be transferred to a big facility that has onsite ICU 24/7.
I believe technology helps improve healthcare all the time. Downfall to technology is having someone who knows what to do if technology fails. While searching for new technology in healthcare, I came across automated IV pumps (pumps connected the MAR and change automatically,) portable monitors, smart beds that track weight, vitals, and movement of patients, and wearable devices that track heart rates, exercise, sleep, respirations which help individuals to take their health into their own hands.
Some of the advancements seemed really useful and may help give nurses back time to spend with patients. I fear what would happen if something malfunctioned – would back up methods of care be available for nursing to utilize? Would this make hospitals more of target to have private health information jeopardized? Overall, I believe technology is great and does improve bedside nursing.
POst 2
It’s been nearly a decade since I completed my BSN program. Upon graduation, I chose to work at a state-operated mental health facility. I quickly learned that we were always a few leaps behind privately-owned hospitals in regard to technology. In the facility, the electronic charting system was a fairly new development at that time. Some of the seasoned staff were still struggling to learn basic computer skills and electronic charting was foreign to them. The program that we used at that time was solely used for electronic summary and progress notes. Over the years, we transitioned to more modern technologies. The hospital obtained an electronic MAR system with built-in charting options. The MAR was implemented with barcode scanning capabilities, which when used properly was promised to aid in the prevention of medication errors. Our hospital began using electronic incident reporting and included the restraint/seclusion database in this incident reporting system to save the nurses a step. Our pharmacy purchased a state-of-the-art multidose packaging system for medication dispensing. With each change, staff were provided education to ensure competency. With the evolution from the paper-based charting system to the electronic medical records system, our facility has faced the challenge of multiple closed software programs that do not have information-sharing capabilities with other programs. The closed status of these programs is labor-intensive, as it forces hospital staff to double and sometimes triple document patient data (Lamo et al., 2016). An interoperable electronic medical record (EMR) would be helpful as it would help to standardize patient care, allow for seamless documentation of care provided, and would increase communication amongst healthcare providers (McGonigle & Mastrian, 2022).
An interoperable EMR improves patient care and safety by increasing communication and awareness of patient status amongst healthcare providers. This provides for faster identification of patient needs (diagnosis) and more efficient implementation of medical/nursing interventions. While this is a great benefit, it comes with risks as well. Cybercriminals work diligently to fraudulently obtain personally identifiable information of consumers and healthcare consumers are not spared. The HIPAA Security Rule was established to mandate that health care providers take necessary steps to protect patient data (Department of Health and Human Services, 2013). Federal laws also mandate health care organizations to disclose any data breaches to the patient(s) affected (Department of Health and Human Services, 2013). While these regulations guide healthcare providers to use mechanisms to prevent breaches of patient data, hackers continue to find ways to infiltrate various programs. With the evolution of technology, we must stay abreast of available security measures.

Mortgage Broker is reviewing three Borrower/Buyer leads who wish to obtain Mortgage Loan Prequalification as they plan to identify and purchase residential housing in Riverside County California.
You have been asked as Assistant to the Loan Officer to review the initial borrower information files created for each prospective Borrower (A, B, & C). With the information provided from each Borrower scenario, calculate the information asked for and make the determination if the Borrower meets the basic prequalification guidelines to get approved for receiving a Prequalification letter.
Use the following table of Guideline information to assist you with the analysis of each Scenario:
Conventional Standard Fannie Mae Financing:
30 year- Fixed Interest currently offered at 4% Interest rate.
Minimum Fico score required: 680.
Minimum downpayment 10% or greater
Mortgage Insurance for LTV> 80%
Maximum Housing Ratio = 33% Maximum Debt Ratio = 42%
Riverside County Conforming loan limit for 1 Unit = $548,250
Conventional Plus
30 year- Fixed Interest currently offered at 3.75% Interest rate.
Minimum Fico score required: 740.
Minimum downpayment 5% or greater
Mortgage Insurance for LTV> 80%
Maximum Housing Ratio = 38% Maximum Debt Ratio = 46%

Jumbo Financing currently available at a 4.25% Interest rate.
FHA Financing:
30 year- Fixed Interest currently offered at 3.5% Interest rate.
Minimum Fico score required: 640.
Minimum downpayment 3.5%, can also be 5% or greater.
Maximum Housing Ratio = 31% Maximum Debt Ratio = 43%
Riverside County FHA loan limit for 1 Unit = $477,250
Upfront MIP 1.75% loan amount, Monthly MIP= 0.5% or 0.55% for >95% LTV
Scenario 1 Borrower A:
Borrower A provided the following information:
Desired Purchase Price $500,000
Gross monthly Income = $7,500
Revolving monthly Debt (Car payment and Credit cards) = $550
Downpayment funds available = $100,000
FICO score = 700
Preferred loan product = Conventional Standard
Borrower A Questions:
Which of the three loan products available would this Buyer qualify for based solely on FICO score?
Based on Borrower A’s loan preference, what is the stated Interest rate currently offered?
With the Borrower’s indicated downpayment funds available, what would be their LTV percentage?
Would there be Mortgage Insurance applied to this loan? If so, then why?
Assume Borrower A Gross monthly income is $7,500, their Monthly revolving Debt equals $ 550, and the calculated monthly PITI for their proposed loan is $2,460:
What is their Housing Ratio? Does their housing ratio fall below the Loan guideline (make sure not to round fractions of the percentages)?
What is their Debt Ratio? Does their debt ratio fall below the Loan guideline?
Based on the above calculations, does Borrower A meet the general prequalification guidelines for the Loan they preferred?
Scenario 2 Borrower B:
Borrower B provided the following information:
Desired Purchase Price $500,000 but would settle on $420,000.
Gross monthly Income = $8,000
Revolving monthly Debt (Car payment and Credit cards) = $1,200
Downpayment funds available = $20,000
FICO score = 660
Borrower B Questions:
Which of the three loan products available would this Buyer qualify for based solely on FICO score?
Based on the Loan program their Fico score will qualify for, what is the stated Interest rate currently offered?
Would this loan have Mortgage Insurance/MIP?
Is there any max loan limit on the Loan Program they would qualify for?
Based on this Loan program and the downpayment they are being placed, the calculated monthly PITI for a $500,000 purchase would be $2,870. The calculated monthly PITI for a $420,000 purchase would be $2,450.
Calculate the Housing Ratio for a $500,000 Purchase, what is the calculated ratio and does the ratio fall within the Loan guideline?
Calculate the Housing Ratio for a $420,000 Purchase, what is the calculated ratio and does the ratio fall within the Loan guideline?
Calculate the Debt Ratio for the $420,000 purchase based on the monthly amount of $3,250. What is the calculated ratio and does the ratio fall within the Loan guideline?
Suppose the Debt Ratio was too high, what could be done to lower the Debt ratio to fall within the loan guideline?
Scenario 3 Borrower C:
Borrower C provided the following information:
Desired Purchase Price $500,000
Gross monthly Income = $9,000
Revolving monthly Debt (only Credit cards) = $300
Downpayment funds available = $50,000
FICO score = 780
Preferred loan product = Conventional Plus
Borrower C Questions:
Which of the three loan products available would this Buyer qualify for based solely on FICO score?
Based on their stated preferred Loan program, what is the stated Interest rate currently offered?
Would this loan have Mortgage Insurance/MIP?
Based on this Loan program and the downpayment they are placing, the calculated monthly PITI for a $500,000 purchase would be $2,730.
What is their Housing Ratio? Does their housing ratio fall below the Loan guideline (make sure not to round fractions of the percentages)?
What is their Debt Ratio? Does their debt ratio fall below the Loan guideline?
Based on the above calculations, does Borrower C meet the general prequalification guidelines for the Loan they preferred?
Would this borrower be able to qualify for a Loan for a higher Purchase Price? Why or why not?

Applying Supply and Demand: Real World Examples

Applying Supply and Demand: Real World Examples

For this assignment you will find a news article (not a blog, not Wikipedia, not an opinion article, a news article) that describes a change in supply, demand or both in a real world market. The learning objective is to understand how supply and demand impacts markets and prices.
Begin by downloading and studying:
Supply and Demand Graphs.pptx
Supply and Demand Powerpoints – Alternative Formats
SupplyAndDemandGraphs2.doc
Supply and Demand Guide – Alternative Formats
researchProjectRubric.pdf
researchProjectRubric.pdf – Alternative Formats
Assignment History
Find a news article on the Internet that describes a shift in the supply curve or in the demand curve. The article must be recent (within the last six months), and MUST NOT be from an encyclopedia or reference website that discusses demand and supply. DO NOT use blogs. Use well established business web sites or industry specific web sites.
The best articles are about changes in the price and/or sales of a particular product. You then have the opportunity to demonstrate your understanding of supply and demand shifts as you explain the changes in price and quantity experienced by the product you choose.
RECOMMENDATION: READ THE SAMPLE PROJECT: Under the Getting Started link.
Summarize the article. (Do not quote the article, but explain it as if you were telling someone about it. If you do use direct quotes or paraphrases, remember that citations and references are required.)
Explain which graph in our collection – A, B, C, or D – illustrates the shift that you identify by describing the change in price and the change in equilibrium quantity (remember the difference between a change in quantity and a change in the position of the curve – these are described in the documents linked above).
Some articles may describe a situation where both curves shift. This is not common but it is possible.
Do use paragraphs in your post. And do remain focused on what is in the article.
Provide a full URL link to the article along with an APA-formatted reference to the article at the bottom of your submission.
Important: This is a Microeconomic course. Do not choose an article discussing Macroeconomic issues: Inflation, unemployment, trade deficit, government budget deficit, etc.

socio-legal theories

The expectation is that you will produce a proposal between 8-10 double spaced pages in length, not including the bibliography and title page. This proposal will outline a relevant socio-legal research question and hypothesis, and then propose a method or set of methods to answer it. It can be on any topic you wish, so long as it is related in some way to the field of socio-legal studies. It can have a theoretical perspective, and empirical one, or both if you so choose. If the latter then make sure you describe why you think a given theoretical approach is best suited to analyzing a given empirical issue. The proposal should explain why this method or set of methods is the most appropriate to answer the socio-legal question. Finally, the proposal should conclude with a brief discussion on why this project is important and what you think answering it will contribute to the scholarly literature on the subject.
