Assessment Instructions

Preparation

For this assessment, you will assume the role of Care Coordinator Project Manager in your present organization or in an organization or setting you aspire to work in, are familiar with, or interested in. Within this context, you will develop a care coordination project plan for a population of your choice that is in need of care from multiple organizations.

In this role, you must consider a comprehensive strategy to organize and coordinate care for the selected population on a local, state, national, or international level, depending upon the population. Your project plan will serve as a model for addressing the care coordination needs of another population, or of an entire community, in Assessments 2 and 3.

After completing your project plan, you will then develop a presentation of your plan to gain the support of administrative decision makers in the organization.

Note: Remember that you can submit all or a portion of your draft documents to Smarthinking for feedback before you submit the final version of this assessment. If you plan on using this free service, be mindful of the turnaround time of 24–48 hours for receiving feedback.

Presentation Tools

You may use Microsoft PowerPoint or another suitable presentation software to create your slides. If you elect to use an application other than PowerPoint, check with your instructor to avoid potential file compatibility issues.

Use the speaker’s notes section of each slide to develop your talking points and cite your sources, as appropriate. If you need help designing your presentation, you are encouraged to review the presentation resources provided for this assessment. These resources will help you to design an effective presentation, whether you choose to use PowerPoint or other presentation software.

You have the option of either recording a voiceover track for your presentation or creating a video. In either case, you may use Kaltura Media, Adobe Connect, or other technology of your choice for your audio or video recording.

• If using Kaltura Media, refer to the Using Kaltura tutorial for directions on recording and uploading your video in the courseroom, per directions listed in Resources.
• If using Adobe Connect, refer to the instructions and tutorials available from the Using Adobe Connect support page.

Note: If you require the use of assistive technology or alternative communication methods to participate in this activity, please contact Disability Services to request accommodations.

Requirements

For this assessment:

1. Develop a care coordination project plan for a population of your choice. For example:

• Children or the elderly.
• Chronic care patients.
• Patients with disabilities.
• End-of-life care patients.
• Special needs patients.
• Inner city or rural area residents.

2. Develop a presentation of your plan for administrative decision makers in the organization to obtain their support.

Note: Choose any population you are familiar with and interested in addressing. However, you will have an option to address the care coordination needs of an undocumented immigrant or refugee population in the next assessment, so do not choose this population for this assessment.

In addition to the requirements outlined below for developing and presenting your project plan, you are encouraged to include whatever additional information is appropriate for the specific population for whom you have chosen to provide a care plan.

Project Plan and Presentation Format and Length

You may use either Microsoft Word or Excel to format your project plan.

• Support main points, arguments, and conclusions with relevant and credible evidence, correctly formatting citations and references using APA style.
  

  • Is your supporting evidence clear and explicit?
  • How or why does particular evidence support a claim?
    

    • Will your audience see the connection?

Additional Requirements

Be sure that you have used the APA Style Paper Template to format your project plan and that your document includes:

• A title page and references page.
• A running head on all pages.
• Appropriate section headings.

In addition, be sure that:

• Your slide deck consists of approximately 10–12 slides, not including the title, purpose, and references slide.
• You have cited 5–7 sources of relevant and credible scholarly or professional evidence to support your project plan.

Scenario

According to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), the probability of a magnitude 6.7 or greater earthquake in the Greater Bay Area is 63%, about 2 out of 3, in the next 30 years. In April 2008, scientists and engineers released a new earthquake forecast for the State of California called the Uniform California Earthquake Rupture Forecast (UCERF).

As a junior analyst at the USGS, you are tasked to determine whether there is sufficient evidence to support the claim of a linear correlation between the magnitudes and depths from the earthquakes. Your deliverables will be a PowerPoint presentation you will create summarizing your findings and an excel document to show your work.

Concepts Being Studied

• Correlation and regression
• Creating scatterplots
• Constructing and interpreting a Hypothesis Test for Correlation using r as the test statistic

You are given a spreadsheet (See attachment) that contains the following information:

• Magnitude measured on the Richter scale
• Depth in km

Using the spreadsheet, you will answer the problems below in a PowerPoint presentation.

What to Submit

The PowerPoint presentation should answer and explain the following questions based on the spreadsheet provided above.

• Slide 1: Title slide
• Slide 2: Introduce your scenario and data set including the variables provided.
• Slide 3: Construct a scatterplot of the two variables provided in the spreadsheet. Include a description of what you see in the scatterplot.
• Slide 4: Find the value of the linear correlation coefficient r and the critical value of r using α = 0.05. Include an explanation on how you found those values.
• Slide 5: Determine whether there is sufficient evidence to support the claim of a linear correlation between the magnitudes and the depths from the earthquakes. Explain.
• Slide 6: Find the regression equation. Let the predictor (x) variable be the magnitude. Identify the slope and the y-intercept within your regression equation.
• Slide 7: Is the equation a good model? Explain. What would be the best predicted depth of an earthquake with a magnitude of 2.0? Include the correct units.
• Slide 8: Conclude by recapping your ideas by summarizing the information presented in context of the scenario.

Along with your PowerPoint presentation, you should include your Excel document which shows all calculations.

Topic: You can choose any topic that you are confident to write and do the research about it.

***Please focus on requirements written below and follow them***Please check your grammar and words carefully***

Purpose: To write a 5-7 page research paper that is argumentative on a topic of your choice. Remember that an argumentative paper must have a solid stance on a particular topic that is debatable, and will present a rebuttal to the opposition. Your paper should include:

• An introduction that gets me interested in your topic and has a clear, specific thesis that presents a solid stance for one side of the argument. If you use any borrowed information, MLA in-text citations are required. The argument thesis states your side of the argument and previews the reasons you will cover as to why your side is the best side.
• body paragraphs that are well organized and transition well. Make sure that you vary how you present your research. All quotes will make things very boring for me, so you can choose to paraphrase. Try to keep that originality check to 25% or under. MLA in-text citations are required. You must use at least 3 sources for information, so at least 3 different in-text citations are required.
• A conclusion that makes sure to restate, not repeat, the thesis, and wraps up all major points. Be sure that I know why this topic is so important. If you borrow information, use MLA in-text citations.
• Works Cited page that is in MLA format. You must have at least 3 credible sources listed.

Audience/Tone: Maintain the highest level of academic language. Use that thesaurus to avoid repeating words or using overworked words like “good” and “very”. Avoid first person. No second person or contractions. If I am not able to help with revising, make sure you at least run your paper through Grammarly. The Writing Center can help with editing, but not necessarily proofreading (they won’t just check for grammar, but they will do comprehension.

This part of the research paper has to be about 4 pages long, doubled spaced. I have attached the research paper so that you can review it and be able to complete this part of it. Please use your own words and address the following questions:

Prompt: Submit a draft of your discussion section. There are several important objectives that need to be accomplished in the discussion:

Address the original question—were the results congruent with what was expected (hypothesis) and what was found (results)?

If hypothesis was supported, state why and how.

If the hypothesis was not supported, state why. For example, discuss potential sources of research error. (Apply the same critique methods used
in the literature review.)

Relate your research findings to existing research that was cited in your literature review.

State how your research can be applied, extended, and/or improved.
