Assignment Question

Identifying analysis techniques for assessing competitive advantage is important for building health care strategy. Sustaining health care competitive advantage requires that leaders understand environmental demands to assist with minimizing weakness and threats from the external environment. This assessment provides you with an opportunity to examine your health care environment to determine whether what is being accomplished in your organization, department, team, community project, or other care setting is making a positive difference. Preparation Note: You will use the results of this analysis to develop a strategic plan in Assessment 2. You have been asked to conduct an analysis of your care setting that will result in two potential pathways toward a strategic plan to improve health care quality and safety in your organization, department, team, community project, or other care setting. To accomplish this, you will take two approaches to the analysis: Complete the discovery and dream phases of an appreciative inquiry (AI) project. Conduct a strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT) analysis. To help ensure that your analysis is well-received, the requester has suggested that you: Present your analysis results in four parts:

Part 1: Appreciative Inquiry Discovery and Dream.

Part 2: SWOT Analysis. Part 3: Comparison of Approaches. Part 4: Analysis of Relevant Leadership Characteristics and Skills. Your analysis should be 4–7 pages in length. Note: As you revise your writing, check out the resources listed on the Writing Center’s Writing Support page.

Note that these questions are for your own development and exploration and do not need to be completed or submitted as part of your assessment. One key aspect to being an effective leader, manager, or administrator is an awareness of your leadership strengths, weaknesses, and style. How would you assess your general leadership, communication, and relationship-building skills? How would describe your leadership style? Imagine the future for a care setting that is your place of practice or one in which you would like to work. What aspirational goals can you envision that would lead to improvements in health care quality and safety? How well do these goals align with the mission, vision, and values of your care setting?

Assignment Question

Our work this term is focused on understanding how gender influences, and in many cases determines, healthcare provision and availability. In this course you will devote considerable time to addressing how social and natural scientists and health professionals read, and critically evaluate the literature on this topic, and how this information may inform public policy and/or healthcare legislation. One way that you will pursue this aim is by picking a major topic within gender and healthcare, and writing a 5-7 page literature review that critically analyzes your topic.

Assignment Instructions Your literature review should be organized and presented in a professional manner.

Suggested sections to include are as follows: 1. An introduction to your topic. Here you can provide information such as: a. The history of the topic. b. Theoretical background regarding different “lenses” through which your topic may be interrogated and/or explained. c. Why this topic is important. d. Which groups in society are most impacted by this topic? e. What impact does this topic have on the healthcare system? This introductory information should be chosen with support of your paper’s thesis topic in mind. As such, it is up to you to critically “pick and choose” which literature you include in your paper for this section. 2. Provide a synthesis of the scientific evidence that is relevant to your topic/thesis. This information will comprise the majority of your paper. For this section, you may use scholarly literature from the natural sciences, social sciences, or both. Be sure here to use primary research from quality sources – particularly for natural science. Review articles are acceptable and will be helpful if available. a. Note- be sure you are not simply summarizing your chosen sources article by article.

The purpose of a literature review is to provide a coherent, succinct synthesis of the research you reviewed to gain insight into your chosen topic. Therefore, you should be looking for themes/connections across studies and critically analyzing the literature. 3. Provide a conclusion that ties together the information you have presented in section 2. What conclusion(s) can be drawn from the available literature? How might this information be used by natural and/or social scientists going forward to influence public policy and/or healthcare legislation? What further research should be undertaken to clarify what is known on this topic?

The paper to be about the dismissal of women pain in the healthcare system and how its important to listen because period pain often leads to other diseases. Focus on the dismissal of period pain specifically. Also all the references have to be within the past 10 years.
