Abstract
There have been numerous changes in the field of healthcare over the past twenty-five years. Many of these have occurred behind the scenes in areas such as regulation and documentation requirements. Others are obvious, such as advancement in medicines and technology. All have some degree of impact on the delivery of healthcare to the patient. Most have an impact on the cost of healthcare delivery. By interviewing a healthcare provider who has been in the industry for the past 25 years, this paper examines what area of change has made the greatest difference and what the future has in store.
From the Paper
"Finally, the health care industry is changing extremely fast. New technology requires ongoing training for healthcare providers. With change being a constant, healthcare workers find themselves under more and more pressure just to "get it right," said the D.O.N. The downside of new technology is the risk to which it exposes the patient. While ongoing training is essential, time and labor is inconsistent. Constant relearning poses a degree of threat to patients. Ongoing training is destabilizing. When a new nurse finds that his or her nursing supervisor knows less than they in terms of procedural change it is difficult to give the best care."

Abstract
This paper examines how written in 1910 as both an autobiography and an account of her founding of the famous Hull House in Chicago, Jane Addams' seminal text "Twenty Years at Hull House" has much in store for its reader. It examines Addams own account of her formative years, from the almost allegorical narrative of moral development and conversion, to the actual story of this home of social reform at the turn of the century.

Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to introduce, discuss and analyze the book "Twenty Years at Hull-House" by Jane Addams. Specifically, it discusses what her political argument is and how she goes about promoting it in the book. It looks at how Addams argues that it is the responsibility of the government to care and aid those in poverty and that regulating the workplace is one place to begin this aid. It also examines how Addams promotes the idea that everyone needs to respect each other and work together to solve society's toughest problems.
From the Paper
"Part of her argument surrounds the inactivity of local and state governments to create decent living and working conditions for the nation's poor. She writes, "The policy of the public authorities of never taking an initiative, and always waiting to be urged to do their duty, is obviously fatal in a neighborhood where there is little initiative among the citizens" (83). The city has a moral obligation to create decent conditions for the city's poorest workers, but she notices that often they shirk their responsibility because the immigrant citizens do not know their rights or how to access them. She notes that many houses do not have sewers, there is little street lighting, the streets are dirty, and the schools are inadequate, among other things. "

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper is a case study of AT&T as the company goes through its third breakup in twenty years, announcing in 2000 that it would affect a breakup of its business into different units. The paper explains that this restructuring would create separate wireless, broadband, business long distance and consumer long distance companies. The paper shows how this restructuring mirrored the breakup of the Bell telephone company that produced AT&T and several other companies in the first place.
From the Paper
"AT&T announced in 2000 a breakup of its business into different units, a restructuring that would create separate wireless, broadband, business long distance, and consumer long distance companies. This restructuring mirrored the breakup of the Bell telephone company that produced AT&T and several other companies in the first place. This would be the third time in two decades that the company had been forced to split into separate entities. The company was also prepared to sell off its non-strategic assets. The intent was to emerge a learner company with a clearer core business mission. Technological innovation was clearly a goal for AT&T during most of its history and the company developed a large number of new products for use in homes, offices and other sites to give the consumer access to the latest in telephonic capabilities."

Abstract
This report presents an analytically critical paper regarding the trends of the entertainment industry, with a main focus on the drama and theater industry. The paper addresses the topic decisively, attempting to find reasons and supporting arguments for why the loss of media like the theater industry reflects on human nature. The paper also tries to show that the basic premise of the theater industry is in dire straits, and that position should become a common concern for society. Furthermore, this report attempts to develop sound reasoning in support of the conclusion that the overall change or shifts in the mode of entertainment in the last 20 years make it difficult for the drama and theater industry to maintain its standing in the entertainment community. Finally, the report tries to show what society wants and why, suggesting that, as today?s younger generation continues to be driven the Internet, cell phones, and satellite television, a lack of human contact and the development of the computer age have been too strong an influence and that people have a combination of more interesting, yet at the same time, more stressful lives.

From the Paper
"The theater has outgrown its role as a palace for vaudeville performances. This report is an attempt to show what society wants and why it the theatre industry is not capable of meeting those needs and expectations. As today?s younger generation continues to be driven by reality TV shows, Microsoft messenger chat capability, cell phones that take pictures and satellite TV with over a thousand channels of nothing, this report proposes that a lack of human contact and the development of the computer age continue to strangle our ability to interact with one another. The medium of live theatre no longer meets the needs of a population that have a combination of a more interesting yet at the same time more stressful life."

From the Paper
"George Bush has been in Washington for more than 20 years, and his popularity has changed many times over those years. In his time as president he became one of the most popular presidents because of the Gulf War and then became one of the least popular presidents as he ran for reelection. The people seem to dislike George Bush, and there are good reasons for this. The man has had the opportunity to do a lot of good, and instead he has done very little. He does not seem to understand that the president is in an office that has to do something about foreign affairs and domestic affairs both. Instead, George Bush handles foreign affairs because he is comfortable doing that, but he is then ignoring the people who elected him and who need his help.
Borger (1989) said that President Bush was being president by-the-numbers, which meant that he was doing the job as if it...

Improving Healthcare in a Healthcare Facility, 2006.
Describes a system for improving the patient incident reporting system in a typical tertiary healthcare facility.
2,249 words (approx. 9.0 pages), 16 sources, APA, $ 69.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines the patient incident reporting system at a hospital and explains that the present system, which is designed to track patient incidents such as falls, patient abuse and medication errors, as well as provide a means of implementing corrective action, is highly labor-intensive and cumbersome. The paper then proceeds to identify and describe six different initiatives that would improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the current patient incident reporting system.
Table of Contents
Initiative No. 1. Use Existing Hospital Information
System for Patient Incident Reporting for JCAHO
Quality Assurance Tracking Purposes
Initiative No. 2. Installation of Hospital-Wide Patient
Records Database
Initiative No. 3. Use Existing IT Systems to Trend
Adverse Patient Incidents for Inclusion in Hospital-Wide
Quality Assurance Reports
Initiative No. 4. Applying Existing Information Systems
for Improved Inventory Control
Initiative No. 5. Implement Interactive Menu-Processing
System for Inpatients
Initiative No. 6. Improve Hospital and Grounds Security
by Using IT-Based Web Camera Applications
From the Paper
"The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) has already mandated that all accredited healthcare facilities have in place a means of tracking patient incidents such as falls, patient abuse, and medication errors and to provide a means of implementing corrective action when deficiencies are identified (Bryan & O'Connell 23). Although our hospital does in fact have such a patient incident reporting system in place, it is a highly labor-intensive paper form-based approach that requires copying and hand-delivery to the Office of Quality Assurance; furthermore, this paper-based system is easily transferable to the existing hospital-wide information system intranet. In this regard, the proposed online replacement should replicate the existing patient incident reporting system as closely as possible to ensure staff acceptance of this alternative (Auerbach, Beckerman, Cohen, Goldstein, Quitkin & Rock 134)."

Crowder's Dream: 25 Years of African Independence, 2006.
This paper examines Michael Crowder's essay "Whose Dream Was It Anyway? Twenty-Five Years of African Independence"
3,125 words (approx. 12.5 pages), 1 source, MLA, $ 90.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This in-depth paper discusses the parallels between the colonial states and the independent African nations stressing that there are much more commonalities between the two than most critics would acknowledge. Writer Michael Crowder addresses the complaints of European nations and various media publications against the decline of the African nations since their independence from European colonial rule. The paper also details Europe's desire for the former African colonies to create and maintain a liberal democracy in order to achieve political and economic independence.
From the Paper
"Crowder does not see the same "African disaster" that so many others see. When looking at Africa in total with its history of rule under colonialism and the haphazard manner at which independence had been thrusted at the African nations, it is amazing that these African nations have survived and achieved the successes that they have done so today. Where others saw despair in the African nations, Crowder saw success and hope for a brighter African future. He first examines the parallels between the colonial states and the independent African nations, stressing that there are much more commonalities between the two than the critics would acknowledge."

Abstract
This paper examines the article, "Five Critical Questions," that appeared in the February 7 issue of "Business Week." The first question, asked and addressed by Stan Crock is, ?What Kind of Superpower? will America be in its future? The second question asked by Pete Engardio, deals with ?What?s Next for the Global Economy?? The third question, asked by Paul Starobin, is ?What is Moscow?s New Role?? The fourth question, asked by Dexter Roberts, is ?How does China Play its Hand?? The fifth and final question as asked by Stanley Reed is: ?Will the Arab Nation ever Change?? These questions and their answers are an attempt at understanding the tragedy of September 11.
From the Paper
"The first question, asked and addressed by Stan Crock is, ?What Kind of Superpower? will America be in its future? In the past, America has often claimed not to be a hegemonic or imperialistic nation, and Republicans such as Bush have generally refrained (at least in theory) from global government, internationalism, or ?nation-building? and tended towards isolationism. However, in the wake of a perceived active and growing terrorist threat, Bush is pushing America towards sweeping international power. He suggests that terrorist activity would be cut by aiding foreign governments in improving border controls and intelligence, overhauling their judicial system, and helping them to track the financial activities of citizens suspected of crime or terrorism, and providing military support for anti-terrorist or counter-revolutionary measures. Much of this would be done in cooperation with the World Bank. It?s unclear how far he will take this, as both many American citizens and foreign powers have deep reservations about such global controls."

Introduction
The Roles of Principals
School Reform
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The benefits provided to teachers through the teacher empowerment are inclusive of increases in teacher job performance, improved morale of teachers, increased knowledge of subject matter and pedagogy, and finally resulting higher motivation among students as well as higher achievement. As a result, teachers, and ultimately, their students and their schools, could potentially receive the full benefits of teacher empowerment if principals hone their focus on the appropriate leadership behaviors and policies to effectively maximize teacher empowerment (Keiser & Shen, 2000:115). Short and Rinehart (1993) "Teacher empowerment and school climate" p.592 state that, "Teacher empowerment relates to greater organizational effectiveness.""

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that the term healthcare communication can refer to all types of communications used in the healthcare industry, be it communication between and among healthcare agencies, healthcare providers, and healthcare clients. In this paper, however, the writer concentrates on the topic of healthcare communication between healthcare providers and their patients-clients. The paper emphasizes the importance of this communication and looks at the current movement in healthcare education to bring back the human touch into healthcare practice in order for medicine to regain its soul.
Outline:
What is Healthcare Communication?
Relevance of Healthcare Communication
Emergency Room Situations
Confidentiality
Dealing with Family Issues
Dealing with Sociocultural Issues
Communication in the Process of Healing
Principles of Therapeutic Communication in Healthcare Settings
Verbal communications
Verbal communications
Nonverbal communications
From the Paper
"Communication is an exchange, a two-way process. But sometimes this is forgotten in the healthcare setting when the patient-client becomes the passive, receiving end while the healthcare provider does all the talking and fails to listen. However, for healthcare delivery to be effective, there should be an exchange of information between the two parties.
"Healthcare providers have a 2-fold responsibility towards their patients who are basically their clients. First, they must have the technical skills, and second, they much have the ability to communicate and empathize. In other words, a healthcare professional does not only need the brain and skill to perform his/her work. He/she must also have his/her heart into it."

Abstract
This paper attempts to address the following statement: The government should institute a universal health care system to make preventive and medical health treatment available for all Americans, regardless of income. The paper begins with some basic information about the current status of uninsured Americans and then provides reasons why the government should provide this healthcare to its citizens.
Contents:
A Silent Crisis - Uninsured in America
Number of Uninsured
Economic Reasons That Contribute to Rise of Uninsured Americans
Contributory Reasons to Rise in Uninsured Americans
Road to Universal Healthcare
The Argument for Universal Healthcare
Obstacles to Universal Healthcare
Conclusion - Universal Healthcare is a Basic Right.
From the Paper
"The Census Bureau ascribes the rising number of uninsured people to the significant drop in employer-based coverage. This decrease occurred almost entirely in firms with less than 25 employees, since these smaller businesses were more vulnerable to economic downturns. Additionally, young adults between 18 and 24 years old were the least likely to have insurance in 2001, with only 28 percent of the group having health insurance (Brostoff). Given the soaring cost of health care and sagging corporate benefits, analysts believe that decline in the number of uninsured Americans will continue to rise."

"One method of assessing and correcting process failure is the method referred to as FMEA or 'Failure Mode and Effects Analysis' is an unfamiliar concept to the majority of health care providers currently. However, it is a vital tool due to the reduction of risk that it has within its potential if implemented correctly, which will identify and prevent process problems before their occurrence in a systematic approach. This is to make identification of the ways that failure can occur within processes and for the identification of why failure might occur and how the process can be ensured to be safer."
