Comparing/Contrasting the Work of Two Existential Philosophers with One Another

paper must have at least two academic outside of the assigned course readings (e.g.
peer-reviewed journal articles, books, or book chapters) to cite in their essay. Students may
incorporate and cite assigned course readings in their papers in addition to citing two other
academic sources. Short book reviews in academic journals (usually 2-3 pages) will not count as
one of the two required academic sources. Besides academic works, relevant news articles may
be cited as needed, though these do not count as academic sources
encouraged to write the paper in the first person. This makes for
much clearer writing and allows you to have a sense of ownership over the perspective
that you are presenting.
Essays must be at least 1200 words (not including ‘works cited’ section or headings), doublespaced, in Times New Roman 12-point font, with one-inch margins. Sources must be cited in
APA style. A separate title page is not required for this assignment.
Following the APA style, students must provide in-text citations for any sources that they
quote or paraphrase from. Bibliographic information for each source should be included in a
‘Works Cited’ section at the end of the paper.
STRUCTURE: Introduction
-Describe the problem on which you are focusing. What is the debate? Briefly
summarize your position, the objection you are considering, and how you intend to
respond to the objection.
Your Argument
-Present your own argument. You should aim to expand upon, reject, modify, or
otherwise contribute to some aspect of an ongoing discussion.
Objection
-Set up the objection from your “opponent” as clearly and fairly as possible. Be sure to
represent their position accurately (as if it were your own position). This objection can
come from a real or imagined opposing side. Basically, you should present what you
take to be the strongest and most legitimate objection to your own view.
Your Response
-Provide a response to the objection in defense of your own position.
Conclusion
-Similar to the introduction; summarize what you’ve done in the paper and how you’ve
done it. Don’t add anything new in the conclusion; only refer to points that are already
addressed within the paper.

Create a presentation (maximum of 20 slides with detailed speaker notes) for senior leadership in which four organizational leaders analyze the impact of a health care organization’s new safety and quality dashboard.

Create a presentation (maximum of 20 slides with detailed speaker notes) for senior leadership in which four organizational leaders analyze the impact of a health care organization’s new safety and quality dashboard. Include an analysis of what the new metrics mean and how they will inform departmental activities for the next quarter.
“Being in a position of leadership is the most important job of any health professional anywhere along the continuum of care” (Ledlow & Coppola, 2013, p. 3). Leaders and ultimately the boards of directors of health care organizations are accountable for the safety of those they serve.” National quality organizations and regulatory bodies … are growing in their emphasis on leadership accountabilities for safe, reliable care as well as excellence in the experience of care” (Youngberg, 2013, p. 39).
With this emphasis on leadership accountability for the delivery of safe, high-quality health care services, health care leaders need to be able to drill down on what exactly safety and quality mean in the health care environment. Likewise, they also need to be able to design measures that help to ensure their organizations are able to deliver those kinds of outcomes. Read Measurement Perspectives [PDF] to examine key elements related to this issue.
In this final course assessment, you will have a unique opportunity to examine a health care organization’s safety and quality dashboard from the perspective of four organizational leaders. You will explore each leader’s specific interests regarding patient safety and quality. In particular, you will have the opportunity to perform a more in-depth analysis of the dashboard, the type of analysis a quality director might perform to further the organization’s safety and quality objectives.

Preparation
To help prepare for successfully completing this assessment:
Download the Sample Presentation Guide [PPTX]. Use this as a starting point or guide as you develop your presentation.
Your organization has just updated its safety and quality dashboard. Please review the Vila Health Mercy Hospital Safety and Quality Dashboard [PDF]. Note: You do not need to create a dashboard for this assessment. You are simply being asked to work with the one provided.
The CEO has asked each of the organizational leaders below to prepare a joint PowerPoint presentation. In it, they are to prepare a set of slides outlining their analysis of how the new numbers will inform their particular activities for the next quarter. The organizational leaders include:
The quality director.
The patient safety officer.
The risk manager.
Senior leadership.
Because of the quality director’s critical role in implementing the organization’s safety and quality strategic objectives, this individual will open the presentation and provide additional background about how the new dashboard was developed. This individual will also close the presentation. Use the following outline to organize your presentation. Be sure to include the introduction and conclusion and address all the questions listed under these headings. Also be sure to address each role and the corresponding questions.
Introduction (3–4 slides)
What is a safety and quality dashboard?
What role do safety and quality dashboards play in helping health care organizations drive their strategic safety and quality objectives?
How do health care organization determine what they want to measure? Be sure to consider:
Pressures from regulators, payors, and the industry.
Self-identified improvement areas. For example, one organization’s safety and quality dashboard may highlight patient falls because its rate of falls is higher than the national average. This may also have resulted in increased costs to the organization.
What CQI tools did the organization use to obtain, measure, and report data?
What was the quality improvement team’s role in addressing the reported measures?
Quality Director (2–3 slides)
Which metric on the dashboard would draw the quality director’s attention the most?
What does this dashboard metric mean and why is it important?
What three recommendations to leadership would help to address this metric?
What (if any) quality models could be used to increase the quality of patient care and outcomes for this metric? Consider PDCA, Six Sigma, Lean, Hoshin Kanri planning, et cetera.

What next steps might senior leadership take given the dashboard findings and the quality director’s three improvement recommendations?
Conclusion (2–3 slides)
Which regulatory agency(ies) may be concerned about the findings in this dashboard?
Why would regulators be concerned about these findings?
Why are safety and quality dashboards important for monitoring key metrics in health care organizations?
Your slides need to be concise and offer main ideas in bulleted format. Use the speaker notes to expand upon your findings as if they were the transcript of your presentation for the leadership team.
In the health care environment, it is unlikely for a presentation and speaker notes to be in APA style. Do make sure they are concise, organized, clear, and free of errors in grammar, punctuation, and spelling. Do make sure they address all the required headings and all of the questions under each heading.
Your senior leaders will want to know the sources of your information. Be sure to cite your sources in APA style in your speaker notes.
Additional Requirements
Presentation length: Your presentation should be a maximum of 20 slides, including title and reference slides. Format your title and reference slides according to APA format.
