A clinical office assistant is an employee who has numerous clerical and administrative tasks that need to be performed quickly and qualitatively. Time management tools are the most practical options that enhance the work process. One of the most generally applied tools is Call Please , which optimizes receiving and making calls (Helms, 2021). It dramatically simplifies the process of logging and allows one to compile a list of outgoing rings in a specific order. Therefore, Call Please reserves a lot of time and eliminates the case of omitting a patient or contacting the wrong person. Evernote is another frequently used tool that is an advanced workspace for increasing productivity. It can be utilized to upload vital notes, create messages, commotion lists, tables, and access the data to any other devices (Helms, 2021). It is beneficial during patient care and registration, as its functionality enables one to organize snapshots, store handwritten notices, create photos of documents, make scans, and send them to doctors. Moreover, clinical office assistants use Todoist , which allows monitoring task statuses in one place. It synchronizes with other applications and makes it feasible to form the daily schedule and plan the work (Helms, 2021). Thus, one can intelligently distribute the available time on the number of tasks and assess productivity at the end of the day. No less critical tool is NueMD , a medical billing software with electronic record capabilities. It includes an online patient portal, electronic prescriptions, and labs; furthermore, the tool has custom reporting capabilities (Helms, 2021). Its prominence is hard to overstate, as using NueMD bypasses paperwork and preserves data in a secure place in the cloud. With its aid, assistants can quickly find the proper document or record, organize the work process and reduce the number of skipped appointments. The clinical office assistant is often the first person to interact with patients and familiarize themselves with their needs. The Medical Assisting Pocket is a tool that enables them to improve and give immediate and quality service (Helms, 2021). An accurate pocket guide provides access to medical abbreviations, billing tips, and insurance coding. It also has several handbooks and training in administrative and clinical skills, allowing one to improve mastery and reduce the time it takes to complete the tasks. Th
Tuesdays with Morrie is a true-life narrative about Mitch Albom and his friendship with his adviser and professor, Morrie Schwartz, in the last few months before passing away. The description that Albom gives about Morrie’s incredible ideas and fight for continued existence has motivated many readers. Besides being a professor, Morrie had remarkable skills in writing and motivational speaking before his health deteriorated and deterred him from proceeding with his passion. Albom’s narration is full of vital lessons that one can learn in his or her life. Mitch Albom discovered that his professor had been diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). From then, Albom was by Morrie’s side each Tuesday for six months. He spent each of these days learning important lessons that he could get nowhere else. Albom had developed the tradition of visiting Morrie with the hope of getting support on his thesis paper. He went back to Morrie with the same anticipation but ended up getting essential skills from Morrie’s deathbed. As a community, we are supposed to visit the old and the sick, not as a show of pity, but as a golden chance to learn from their past rich experiences. Those who have been privileged to reach this state ought to be enthusiastic to pass their knowledge to the upcoming philosophers. Despite the constant changes in humankind, life has to go on. In this situation, a major conversion of self is only possible when one perceives that death is inevitable. People who have experienced the reality of death are capable of fully comprehending the significance of life in this world. Morrie always said, “Learn how to die, and you will learn how to live” (83). The certainty of the mystery of this life is properly fathomed in one realizing that this life is short-lived. Morrie told Albom that “… when you most need it, neither money nor power will give you the feeling you’re looking for…” (125). This is one of the key concepts that has influenced my life while reading this book. Neither money nor power is capable of making one happy in this life. Many of us spend our whole lives desperately hunting for peace of mind, material needs, or unfulfilled love relationships. Morrie teaches us to be contented with whatever we have and live within our means. “He smiled,…because if you’ve found meaning in your life…you want to go forward…you’re always battling against getting older…it will happen anyhow.” (118). Here Morrie is advising his long time student to live his life to the fullest. These words, as expressed by him, make more sense to me than if they were to be expressed by my father. At his deathbed, Morrie critically reflects on his experiences in
Sociocultural theory examines how society influences individuals. There are many thinkers that have contributed to this field. This particular paper analyzes the implications of Vygotsky’s theory. In the field of education, Vygotsky’s theoretical contributions continue to be extensively cited by educational theorists in the development of curricula and formulation of new teaching strategies (Velenzuela et al, 2000, p. 111). His Socio-cultural theory has particularly been used by educators to transform children’s thoughts, perceptions, worldviews and behaviours. According to Vygotsky, social interactions among children in the social context lead not only to enhanced levels of knowledge but also to a complete transformation of their thoughts and behaviours (Mahn, 1999, p. 341). Parents and educators are increasingly using this theory in discharging their primary duty of assisting children to become high achievers. Below, a summary of Vygotsky’s sociocultural theory is outlined. The discussion will focus on the theory’s implications for kindergarten age children and children with special needs. The most fundamental notion of sociocultural theoretical perspective is that an individual’s mind is culturally mediated (Mahn, 199, p. 343). The theory emphasizes that culture is the primary determinant of individual development. In this perspective, a child’s learning process is mainly affected by culture since every child grows in the context of culture, including the culture of school environment. Vygotsky was of the opinion that exposing a child to a variety of cultures and social environments expands his or her knowledg
Introduction The modernist movement of the early 20th century significantly altered the way literature and art was perceived in human society. Most themes illustrated in modernism are diverse, difficult and disturbing to understand. Heart of Darkness is one of the literary works embracing modernism. Conrad’s work in Heart of Darkness bridges the gap between the Victorian values and the ideals of modernism. Cobley illustrates that like most of the Victorian predecessors, Heart of Darkness anchors itself on the traditional principles of heroism (16). However, the principle of heroism is attacked in the evolving world and in spheres away from England. Over the ages, women and historical issues have dominated Conrad’s exposé in Heart of Darkness . For instance, women are seen to hold conventional roles as arbiters of domesticity and morality. Hence, Heart of Darkness has represented them in this unique perspective. These include being influential, hardworking and having a different perception among men. Perhaps, this uniqueness shaped the way they contributed to the society during their time, and their evolving roles in modern society. While Conrad’s insinuates the characters’ experiences for example, violence, illness and conspiracy, he does also embody an idealistic disposition of this issues present in modern society. During the 18th century and upwards, African exploration was popular among the Europeans. Though exploration was an opportunity of discovering new lands, it is evident that the urge to explore Africa was compelled by reasons other than the spirit of adventure (Davis et al, 432). We can, therefore, deduce that women had a great impact in society, whereas the exploration of Europeans led to the establishment of imperialism in places where they explored. Discussion Over the ages, change in the roles of women has been observed across the world. Rather than being home keepers, women have increasingly taken different roles. These roles have been changing. Though the traditional roles have been reflected in modern society, they continue to assert more influence and new responsibilities overtime (Davis et al 39). Women in different cultures had different roles compared to men; for example, white women were still strategists and powerful because of their shrewd network and influence in the male dominated business. The African woman was viewed as a good homemaker and was elegant. Heart of Darkness perhaps utilizes the importance of women and the role they played in the modernism period. Heart of Darkness illustrates the changing role of women in different perspectives. Traditionally, men were regarded as the breadwinners of the family (Cobley 136). The society demanded them to work hard in all their endeavors to sustain this goal. However, due to modernity, we see the trend shifting. Women have assumed the traditional role of men in the society of being the breadwinners of the family. In Heart of Darkness , Conrad port
Introduction Artificial intelligence (AI) is growing at an exponential pace and has found application in most spheres of human life. AI technologies facilitate processes in health care, education, production, legal field, transportation, and manufacturing; they help companies of all sizes to increase their efficiency. AI is gaining an increasing share in the health care industry as well, but there will be a revolution in the healthcare system rather than an apocalypse. Although machines will take on some of the nursing functions, nurses will remain relevant and will not be replaced in the near future. Main body Innovations and AI are thriving, and technological achievements have altered industries all over the planet. There is already a program that can detect criminals with more efficiency than a panel of judges, and algorithms that are able to make a correct medical diagnosis just like professional doctors. Moreover, many companies, such as well-known Tesla, invest enormous sums of money in the development of autonomous vehicles, which will save hundreds of thousands of human lives after their comprehensive implementation. The nursing industry is no exception – it has become a fertile ground for AI implementation and has adopted electronic health records and robotics technology. Such innovations help nurses with performing their jobs and caring for patients with more safety and efficiency than before. Contemporary nursing usually consists of routine processes involving “assessment, diagnosis, planning and outcomes, implementation, and evaluation” (Pepito and Locsin 3). AI will probably do better in such prescribed procedures than humans as it is more efficient and will continue to develop in the future while humans’ productivity remains relevantly stable. Robotic decision supports are trained to schedule nursing tasks and assign rooms to patients, while a robot “was introduced in a Toronto retirement home to interact with residents and monitor signs of dementia” (Glauser 2017). Such innovations raise the question of human nurses’ relevan
Parties and obligations The parties involved in this case are Solar Energy Power Plant (SEPP) and Utility Supply (US). In the first agreement, the US was obligated to supply solar panels to SEPP’s prospected solar plant in stages. The contract required the US to give SEPP certificates from the Energy Efficient Council (EEC) before payment was made. SEPP, in the agreement, was obligated to pay the US at each stage of construction as long as the latter is in a position to supply all the agreed panels for that level and presents a five-star standard certificate from EEC. Facts From the case, the following facts were picked out. First, is that a contract was signed that outlined the obligations listed above. The second fact from the case is that SEPP advised the US not to bother providing the certificate from EEC. Third, the work commenced and SEPP promptly paid for work done after the first two stages. The last fact identified from the situation is that SEPP came out to demand that an EEC certificate be provided before the third payment was made and that the first two payments be refunded. Assumptions The first assumption from the case above is that the advisement by SEPP to the US not to provide EEC certificates was made orally and was came after the contract had been signed. The second assumption is that the US-supplied panels in the first two rounds as required by the contract and that SEPP was satisfied with the quality of products provided. It is also assumed that SEPP is claiming a refund because no EEC-compliance certificates were provided. Another assumption from the case is that there people who saw SEPP advising the US to disregard the EEC certificate. The last assumption is that the contract did not have a clause that allowed for the implementation of oral advisements. Can SEPP ask for a refund of sums of money for the first two payments? Promissory Estoppel One of the key legal doctrines that apply to this particular case is Estoppel , which is a principle that blocks an individual from asserting or denying anything to the contrary of that which has been confirmed as true, either by the acts of judicial or legislative officers, or by his own deed, acts, or representations, either express or implied (Blum 2007, 207). In this case, the kind of Estoppel that can unilaterally be used to govern the ruling is Promissory Estoppel . Promissory Estoppel precludes one party from going back on an agreement (written or verbal) made with another party if the latter has relied on the agreement to fulfill a particular duty (Blum 2007, 207). For Promissory Estoppel to apply, the following key elements must be present:  1. There is an undisputable verbal, implied, or written promise (Blum 2007, 207).  2. There is evidence to support the fact that
Teaching Experience Education of the local community members is one of the most efficacious ways of engaging licensed nursing students in the clinical process and indirect care experiences. Interaction with possible patients provides additional practice in communication, teaches novice nurses to be attentive and compassionate, and broadens their horizons. The present essay describes the experience of teaching people how to prevent diabetes and identifies its strong sides and areas for improvement. Summary of Teaching Plan This teaching targets members of the Punjabis Sikh society who are at risk of developing diabetes. To keep the audience interested and not overload it with information, the lecture lasted 35 minutes with a short break. One of the most critical components of the teaching was a test on diabetes results of which were announced after the class. The group consisted of 5 adults because this optimal size guarantees that the educator will pay enough attention to every participant and answer all the questions in detail. The primary objective of the seminar is to reduce the annual number of diabetes cases and familiarize the audience with the very first signs of this disease. Therefore, at the first stage of the teaching, it is planned to introduce the effects of diabetes, including heart attack, stroke, cataract, and severe problems with nerves and feet. At the second stage, the nurse proceeds to explain the key symptoms of diabetes that under no circumstances could be ignored and require a prompt visit of a doctor. At this point, the goal of a nurse is to persuade the audience to be more vigilant about their health and do not ignore the discomfort. Afterward, the educator talks about such preventive measures as regular check-ups, a healthy diet, an active lifestyle, and body mass index normalization. Finally, the nurse familiarizes the members of the educational group with the straightforward algorithm of actions for the cases when a patient realizes that he or she has symptoms of diabetes. Apart from the oral presentation, the nurse distributes booklets with information on the topic, a list of preventive measures, and an action plan for those who found acute symptoms of type 2 diabetes. Epidemiological Rationale for Topic Type 2 diabetes mellitus is one of the most widespread diseases in the world. According to the report of the World Health Organization (2021), before the pandemic of COVID-19, diabetes was “the ninth leading cause of death” that takes 1.5 million lives per annum (para. 1). What is more, the current situation with diabetes is described by numerous scholars as pandemic (Toniolo et al., 2019; Selvin & Juraschek, 2020; Muniyappa & Gubbi, 2020). Currently, approximately 450 million people in the world are diagnosed with this disease, and by 2045 this number will be more than 600 million people (Toniolo et al., 2019). At this point, it should be mentioned that diabetes has significant implications for the ongoing pandemic of
Introduction Globalisation has facilitated trade among countries. It has made the world a global village where goods made in one country can get access to another, off-course after meeting logistics set by the exporting and importing countries. Selling in international market has advantages to the producers of a certain product with the most notable benefit as large access to market. Japan and United States have good trade relation. Goods from Japan can be sold in United States of America without major trade barriers other than duties and import quotas. When venturing in the market, the marketing team, product and development team and the general management must decide on appropriate channelling and pricing strategy. These strategies will assist the products enter Unites States market and remain competitive thereafter. There are different rationales that are used when determining the channelling and pricing strategies to use (Grant, 2008). This paper looks into channelling and pricing strategies to be adopted in domestic market and United States of America market on goods made in Japan. It will also justify the choice of United States as a secondary market. Justification for choice of United States as the second market area United States has the world largest economy. The country has embarked on massive international trade and places limited trade barriers and restrictions to international trade. In the efforts of ensuring that there is fair competition among all players, both local and international, the country has removed/given subsidies to local producers. It removes subsidies when local products are likely to be produced at a lower price than imported goods. On the other hand, it may use taxes on imported goods to create equality in imports and locally produced goods. Secondly, the country gives subsidies when local products are produced at a higher price than imports. This offers a growth to free trade. United States is a world market destination; this will assist the company is targeting customers who are not only Americans residents but from other countries. To facilitate such a trade, United states have a re-import re-export mechanisms which means that if imported goods are to be exported from United States at their raw state, then taxes which were paid for the goods is refundable. The only thing that is not refunded is intention to import declaration fee (IDF) and handling
Topic for family night The topic of my family night is one that many families around the world can relate to only too well. For my family night, the main agenda will be to discuss the issue of drug abuse given that it is amongst the many social and health problem that affect many families in the society. Almost each household is in one way or another affected by drug abuse and as such, it is important to discuss and create awareness about this issue as this could help discourage drug abuse among family members and help one get help if she or he is already in the problem. Ice breaker activity Discussions about drug abuse may involve opening up, asking and speaking about sensitive issues and this can only be possible once everyone is relaxed and feeling as part and parcel of the discussion. One way of encouraging this is to engage an ice breaker activity which in this case will be a fun activity. Our fun activity will involve all the family members writing four things about themselves of which three are to be true and only one false. The papers will then be exchanged so that a different person reads another’s sentences to the family so the family members can attempt guessing which of the sentences is wrong. After all the guesses, the writer will reveal the wrong sentence of the four and then the next set of questions will be read out. This will continue until all the papers are read out. Apart from being a fun activity, it will also help the family members know one another more and feel more at ease around one another. Breakdown of events The discussions are meant to last for roughly an hour and we will begin by defining what we all understand by drug abuse and why we think people engage in drug abuse. Given the difficulty that many find in admitting that they have a drug abuse problem, the family night will discuss signs that can help one identify and know that he or she is abusing drugs and what steps to take towards tackling this problem. The discussions will also cover the roles that parents or guardians should play in discouraging this vice especially among the youth. These discussions will entail everyone being encouraged to voice their opinions and ask any pressing questions. Book that covers the agenda As a way of getting a deeper understanding on the effects of drug abuse in the society, we will overview some published information on the issue and recommend that everyone reads a certain book, explores a certain website, and find out more about the activities of a community based center. For this topic, one of the books that best explores the issue of drug abuse in the society is “The etiology and prevention of drug abuse among minority youth,” which is authored by Gilbert J Botvin and Steven Schinke and published in 1997 by Haworth Press Incorporated. In summary, the book examines issues related to racial identity, the use of alcohol and marijuana by young people and additionally, suggests
