Multicultural Children's Books: Analysis of Cheyenne Again
The paper critiques and assesses an example of multicultural children's literature. There is lengthy discussion about the presence and utility of multicultural perspectives in children's literature. The paper references the text and the literary elements of the book, Cheyenne Again, to argue for the increasing presence and validity of multicultural perspectives in children's books, for the benefit of parents & children.
Medical Office Management Software: Physicians vs. Hospitals
Throughout the process of comparing medical office management software that serves medical professionals by streamlining the administrative, billing, transaction and service management processes of their businesses, the key features and core functions of physician versus acute care hospitals were analyzed. The results of the analysis are provided in this report. Dominating both are rapid advances in support for tablet PCs, smartphones and all other forms of mobility devices, as these devise are showing significant potential to increase the accuracy and time savings of complex tasks in each type of business (Bellini, Bruno, Cenni, et.al., 2012).
Analysis of Medical Office Management Software
There are significant differences in how software companies design applications for physicians' practices versus those used in acute care hospitals. The most significant differences exist in the core functional areas of the applications, in addition to the specific workflows supported across multi-departmental workflows. Medical office management software used in acute care hospitals have more features specifically designed to optimize compliance of reporting, transactions and post-treatment service to patients. These applications also have more of a focus on supporting multinational health compliance requirements, as many times acute care hospitals will have patients from other nations in addition to its own. The acute hospitals also require a much more precise approach to scheduling physicians, nursing staff, and emergency room technicians as well (Bellini, Bruno, Cenni, et.al., 2012). Acute hospitals therefore have a much more project-based approach to managing their human resources, and often must deal with rapidly changing constraints over time, expertise and availability of equipment as well. From this context, acute care hospitals have a much more linear programming-based problem than physicians' practices; there must be greater orchestration of all available resources with respect to their constraints for a given acute care hospital to excel in their service to patients. This level of project-based analysis and linear-programming based constraint modeling of resources is not nearly as real-time and triage-based in applications designed for physician's practices as it is for acute care hospitals.
Applications designed for acute care hospitals however are leading the industry in adoption of mobility and the use of HTML5-based applications that streamline patient onboarding, diagnosis, treatment, triage, and ongoing treatment programs. There is also more of an emphasis on continual Business Process Re-engineering (BPR) and the ability to literally change a process within minutes to reflect the needs of a triage unit or acute care facility (Bellini, Bruno, Cenni, et.al., 2012). As time is often the most valuable resource that an acute care hospital has, the ability to quickly modify processes and systems to better save a patients' life becomes a very high IT priority as well. Based on this analysis it is apparent how critical the optimizing of the entire acute care hospital processes, systems and strategies are for saving a person's life. The ability to optimize each of the various systems necessary for implementing life-saving care and treatment dominates the medical office management software in this area.
Cognitive Development in Infants and Toddlers: Key Influences
Children are complex creatures who develop in various ways at various developmental stages. According to Thompson (2001), children grow in four interrelated areas (body, person, mind, and brain), and these four…
Academic Integrity and Personal Values in University Life
Academic integrity implies being open and honest in the fulfilment of the academic responsibilities therefore, establishing mutual trust. Honesty and fairness us fundamental in relationships and interactions of the academic community and is attained through respect for the ideas and opinions of others.
Academic honesty means intellectual honesty: fairness and honesty in the formulating argument, using information, and other tasks related to understanding and knowledge pursuit. It is the main principle that determines how students live and learn in a society of inquiry. As the academic community members, students and their instructors are entitled to an intensive degree freedom in their pursuit of scholarly interests (Bertram, 213). Also, with this freedom, however, comes the task to maintain the academic conduct ethical standards required. University academic integrity code of conduct highlights academic violation and defines the process of adjudication for academic crimes.
