...Outsourcing in Healthcare Outsourcing in the health care industry continues to grow in an effort to cut the raising cost, to increase efficiency and quality of care by hospitals nationwide. As annual healthcare spending in United States hit $3.8 trillion (Munro, 2014), and aging population in America is increasing with the retirement of baby boomers and higher demands for patient care, the cost of healthcare will continue to grow. In response to increasing cost, many hospitals will employ outsourcing to save money and combat rising costs. This paper will examine outsourcing trends in healthcare. Prevalence and Trends Outsourcing is not a new trend in healthcare. In the past, medical centers successfully outsourced support services, such as construction, IT, translation, laundry services, housekeeping and food services. Today, in an attempt to reduce rising cost of healthcare services, hospitals increasingly turning to outside contractors for patient care and clinical services, such as medical staffing, radiology services, laboratory services and clinical specialties. The clinical specialties most frequently outsourced are anesthesia, emergency department, dialysis services, diagnostic imaging and hospitalist services (Waller, 2012). For information technology, 97% of respondents report outsourcing one or more of these services, such as EMRs, patient satisfaction surveys, help desk, CPU and peripheral maintenance and local IT support (Waller, 2012). According to Modern Healthcare...

...Communication Channels Jessica Gray, Shayma Hashem, Bernita Jones HCS/320 July 18, 2012 Jeanette Godfrey Communication Channels Communication is the transmission of information, ideas, emotions, values, and attitudes. Communication channels are the modes or pathways in which organizations or parties may communicate (Ouellett, 2003). Throughout the health care industry many options are available today to transmit information for communication purposes. Communication channels used today in the health care facilities are e-mail, Internet, intranet websites, advertisement, newsletters, journals, newspapers, mobile phones, fax machines, and face-to-face communication.

...CHAPTER 15 – Northern Europe, 1400 to 1500 The art of Northern Europe in the 15th century is typified by precision in rendering surfaces and a wealth of tiny details that came from a tradition of manuscript painting and a belief in the importance of every tiny creation of God's world. The technical development of oil paint provided a paint that dried slowly and was transparent so made possible rich, jewel-like colors and illusionistic textures through a build-up of layers of paint. Works to identify and know in depth: Artist Title Date Jan van Eyck Arnolfini Double Portrait 1400s (15-1) This painting is believed to be a portrait of the Italian merchant Giovanni Arnolfini and his wife, presumably in their home in the Flemish city of Bruges. It is considered one of the most original and complex paintings in Western art history. Both signed and dated by Van Eyck in 1434, it is, with the Ghent Altarpiece by the same artist and his brother Hubert, the oldest very famous panel painting to have been executed in oils rather than in tempera. The painting was bought by the National Gallery in London in 1842. Claus Sluter Well of Moses 1400s (15-2) The work was executed for Philip’s son, John the Fearless (1371-1419), in a style combining the elegance of International Gothic with a northern realism, but with a monumental quality unusual in either. It was carved from stone quarried in Asnières, France and consisted of a large crucifixion...

...Research Strategy Paper LaTanya Scott GEN/200 March 15, 2010 Sara Bleything Cohrs Research Strategy Paper The struggle I have that I would like to accomplish in resolving is helping myself and teaching my 6 year old daughter patience. This is a very hard subject for me because I am actually responsible for some the behavior that my daughter have. My daughter R’moni is very spoiled, which started from my father. At that time she was the first granddaughter. When I was 23, I was separated from my first husband and I moved from St. Joseph, Missouri to Kansas city, Kansas where I stayed with my father and step-mother. My father became a big role as a father figure in R’moni’s life. My father was never really involved in raising me, when my parents separated. My father helped me a lot with r’moni financially as well as being supportive making sure that she knows who her grandfather was. It is hard for my dad to say no to her sometimes and he allows her to take advantage and get away with things. If she does not get what she wants she will whine which after a while it becomes very nerve wrecking and irritating. It came to points that start to scream at her and sometimes I spank her on her legs and arms. I was also not really involved in her life. At that time when r’moni was two months until she was three, I was working two jobs to provide a home and other necessities for us. That also cause her to act out being resentful and whining all the time. It took a great...

...meaning subject of instruction. Before the spread of knowledge, mathematics was written expressions of the development of Babylonian, Egyptian, and Pythagorean Theorem, which demonstrate the basics of arithmetic and geometry. Arithmetic is one of the oldest forms of mathematics used by Antoine-Augustin Cournot and Joseph Louis Francois Bertrand for tasks of simple day-to-day counting to science and business activities. Arithmetic involves the study of quantity as it relates to addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Mathematicians refer to the more advanced term of number theory. Antoine-Augustin Cournot and Joseph Louis Francois Bertrand’s influence on mathematics lay the foundation of the economic effect of the application method on economic theory and analysis of how it will affect others. Each allows individuals to form a meaningful understanding of the complex expressions in various languages. Cournot and Bertrand have used the importance of mathematics to optimize the maximum values of economic functions. The development of Hindu and Arabic numerals devise place value concept as it relates to business operations. In recent years, new research trends have developed that indicate the meaningful functions of other branches of mathematics that use modern techniques of set theory.

...saints are our models of holiness and virtues into our lives as a pilgrim in this world. They inspire us and we also asked their intercessions in order to strengthen our faith and love to God. In order to follow Christ let us imitate the virtues that we can get from the life stories of the saints who are the living witness of God’s goodness and love. In this paper, I chose St. Ambrose as the subject of this research. Because when I read his short life story in the book entitled My first Book of Saints by Son of Immaculate Heart of Mary. I was fascinated on his life story on how he lives and serve his life as the Bishop of Milan. St. Ambrose was largely responsible for the rise of Christianity in the West, and he was very courageous and untiring defender of the independence of the Church from the state. Through this research, I want to know more about him his way of life and his importance in the early History of the Church. Most of the ideas of this research paper are extracted from the books about his life and teachings. 1. Life of St. Ambrose In this part of the paper, we will go to the life story of St. Ambrose his early life, his life before his election to the episcopacy, how he was elected...

Annotated Bibliography: Source #1 Goldberg, W. A., & Keller, M. A. (2007). Co-sleeping during infancy and early childhood: key findings and future directions. Infant & Child Development, 16(4), 457-469. doi:10.1002/icd.522 This article describes the benefits of co-sleeping by pointing out that night waking’s declined in frequency and duration. It also points out that most children who co-sleep do not need a security object to go to sleep. Another point this article discusses is the benefits co-sleeping have on breastfeeding ease. The article also defines the many terms used when discussing co-sleeping and bed sharing. Wendy A. Goldberg is a professor of psychology and social behavior at the University of Michigan.
