Managerial Report
Instructions: Complete a Managerial Report based upon the case and your selected role. The healthcare setting in the report will be based upon the course’s selected case study and the role will be based upon your selected role for the course. An example Managerial Report Template has been provided for your reference, ensure each section is completed with sufficient details. Students are welcome to customize their report, but all aspects of the report must be completed with the appropriate amount of details for each section. Please include a separate APA Title Page and APA Reference Page with the managerial report that includes at least two credible sources. (Refer to the Announcement Page for the case or the Week 1 Content.) Managerial Report Template PDF Managerial Report Template Word Document (Student may elect to use the Word document, if desired. Please appropriately adjust the spacing and formatting, when entering your information into the report.)
The managerial report should include the following items:
1. Managerial Issue Defined: Identification of one managerial issue with the information on the severity, impact, and scope. I
nsure the report includes the appropriate amount of details for each element of the managerial issue, impact, severity, and scope.
Impact: An effect one event makes on the other. For example, the impact would be the restriction to the health services accessibility for all area residents served by the hospital due to the impacted transportation and infrastructure systems. Another impact point could have been the lowered capacity of the hospital to offer health care services to all served area residents (in-patient and out in the community) due to the power failure.
Severity: The fact or condition of being severe. Talking about the severity you needed to concentrate on the wider community. For example, a snowstorm affected a half of the served area living in widespread geographic allocation. The power failure and infrastructure issues would generate public health issues in the community. That should serve as an argument that this is a severe situation for the only health service organized institution in the area which duty is to prevent and mitigate public health issues along with offering routine services.
Scope: The opportunity or possibility to do or deal with something. Power failure and the infrastructure system failure in the community restrict the scope of hospital influence (opportunity and possibility) on the natural disaster and associated health issues developing in the community.
2. Identify 2 Healthcare Case Study Issues: Discuss at least two healthcare-related characteristics of the case.
3. Role Perspective: Offer insight to the situation through the lens of your role.
4.Identify a Minimum of two (2) Policies, Laws, and/or Regulations with Responsible Parties Information: Describe the two policies, laws, or regulations and include a discussion on the responsible parties such as the government agency or regulatory body.
5. Explain Your Role for Managing the Situation: Offer at least two specific tasks or steps that you can conduct to appropriately address the issues.
6. Identify at Least 2 Stakeholders: Provide a response that includes two stakeholders that your role will work with to address the issues, explain the relationship of the stakeholder to your role, and why this relationship is important.
7.Provide at least 2 credible sources with corresponding in-text citations.
8. Include a properly formatted APA Title Page and APA Reference Page.
Full sentences with proper grammar, articulation, and punctuation are required throughout the report. Provide the in-text citations throughout the report for the supervising manager’s reference.
Example of Responses for a HIPAA & Compliance Director for a Case Study Involving an Urgent Care Setting: (Please note that these examples may not be used in your submission and the responses are not reflective of a managerial report format.)
High severity issue: Potential for patient safety violations, Protected Health Information (PHI) violations, and Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) violations. (Note: Offer supporting details on the severity level.)
Impact-HIPAA violations, PHI exposed, patients’ information at risk, and patient safety at risk. (Note: Offer supporting details on the impact.) Scope-Operational, Clinical, & Legal. (Note: Offer supporting details on the scope.)
Urgent Care Case Study: 2 Issues- Patient tracking issues and staff unaware of patients’ locations including the collection of blood and urine. (Note: Offer supporting details regarding the two issues for the assigned course’s case study, clearly stating the issues as each one relates to the role and healthcare setting.)
Role Perspective- Compliance & HIPAA Director: Address the identified issues to minimize the risks, ensuring all aspects of compliance are clearly defined, while following all regulatory elements, rules, and laws. (Note: Describe your role as this leader related to the response provided.)
2 Policies/Laws with Regulatory Parties- Apply HIPAA regulations to the issues and revise the organization’s PHI policy. Students do not need to identify specific regulatory definitions but need to demonstrate an understanding of HIPAA regulations and PHI policies for this example. The regulatory parties that may be involved with these laws include the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) including CMS surveyors, the Joint Commission, or the Department of Health and Human Services’ Office for Civil Rights (OCR) related to HIPAA enforcement. (Note: Students must include the regulatory body for the selected policies, laws, or regulations that will be presented in the managerial report.)
2 Collaborative Stakeholders: Under this scenario, two collaborative stakeholders could be the facility manager and the risk manager. (Note: Discuss how, and why, these two stakeholders were selected, offer a discussion on their roles associated to your role, and provide information to the importance of their role.

CASE STUDY: An Older Immigrant Couple: Mr. and Mrs. Arahan
Mr. and Mrs. Arahan, an older couple in their seventies, have been living with their oldest daughter,
her husband of 15 years, and their two children, ages 12 and 14. They all live in a middle-income
neighborhood in a suburb of a metropolitan city. Mr. and Mrs. Arahan are both college educated and
worked full-time while they were in their native country. In addition, Mr. Arahan, the only offspring
of wealthy parents, inherited a substantial amount of money and real estate. Their daughter came to
the United States as a registered nurse and met her husband, a drug company representative. The
older couple moved to the United States when their daughter became a U.S. citizen and petitioned
them as immigrants. Since the couple was facing retirement, they welcomed the opportunity to come
to the United States.
The Arahans found life in the United States different from that in their home country, but their
adjustment was not as difficult because both were healthy and spoke English fluently. Most of their
time was spent taking care of their two grandchildren and the house. As the grandchildren grew older,
the older couple found that they had more spare time. The daughter and her husband advanced in
their careers and spent a great deal more time at their jobs. There were few family dinners during
the week. On weekends, the daughter, her husband, and their children socialized with their own
friends. The couple began to feel isolated and longed for a more active life.
Mr. and Mrs. Arahan began to think that perhaps they should return to the home country, where
they still had relatives and friends. However, political and economic issues would have made it
difficult for them to live there. Besides, they had become accustomed to the way of life in the United
States with all the modern conveniences and abundance of goods that were difficult to obtain in their
country. However, they also became concerned that they might not be able to tolerate the winter
months and that minor health problems might worsen as they aged. They wondered who would take
care of them if they became very frail and where they would live, knowing that their daughter had
only saved money for their grandchildren’s college education. They expressed their sentiments to
their daughter, who became very concerned about how her parents were feeling.
This older couple had been attending church on a regular basis, but had never been active in other
church-related activities. The church bulletin announced the establishment of parish nursing with
two retired registered nurses as volunteers. The couple attended the first opening of the parish clinic.
Here, they met one of the registered nurses, who had a short discussion with them about the services
offered. The registered nurse had spent a great deal of her working years as a community health
nurse. She informed Mr. and Mrs. Arahan of her availability to help them resolve any health-related
issues.
Reflective Questions
1. What strategies could be suggested for this older adult couple to enhance their quality of life?
2. What community resources can they utilize?
3. What can the daughter and her family do to address the feelings of isolation of the older couple?
4. What health promotion activities can ensure a healthy lifestyle for them?

Business Project Charter
Description: For this assignment, you will be developing a Project Charter for a project that meets a Traditional Project definition. The Project can be an actual project that you are planning, executing or have already completed. Alternatively, the Project can also be based on a real-life project or can also be fictitious. A Project Charter comes after the Business Case and is used to authorize the Project formally. For this assignment, you can assume a fully developed business case has been created to support the information provided in the Charter.
The assignment should include… 1 – 2 page Business Case
and the following sections
Project Charter
The Project Charter will contain the following sections:
• Project Name
• Project Description
• Goal
• Objectives • Scope, Cost, Resources and Schedule
• Success Criteria
• Assumptions and Constraints
• High-level Risks
The project description: Should be an Executive Summary of the Business Case. A traditional project has a clear goal and solution, be sure to highlight both in the description. This is also an opportunity to discuss the Business Value of the Project.
Goal: The purpose of the Goal statement is to describe the end state of the Project. In a Traditional Project, the Goal and Solution are clear. When describing the Goal, be sure to focus on what the product will allow the organization to do.
Objectives: The objectives are a more detailed version of the goal statement. The purpose of the objectives is to clarify the exact boundaries of the goal statement. It will also support the scope section of the Project. The objectives are nothing more than a decomposition of the goal statement into a set of necessary and sufficient objective statements. Each objective must be complete to reach the Goal, and no objective is superfluous. Therefore, your Charter should include three to five objectives.
Scope, Cost, Resource and Schedule:
In this section, you will have the opportunity to highlight the baseline for the technical success criteria. The Scope is the area where we will have a chance to highlight the “Must Haves” and the “Do Not Include” at a high level.”
When it comes to Cost, Resource and Schedule, there are two approaches; you can create a ceiling (maximum), a starting point for the planning (Rough Order of Magnitude) or a combination of both. Make sure to state which approach was used and why.
Note: This section will provide the basis for the success criteria.
Success Criteria: The success of a project is often measured differently depending on the audience. For example, the project team usually focuses on coming as close as possible to the estimated Scope, Cost, Resource and Schedule. On the other hand, the project/product owner will look at the success from a business perspective. Were the benefits outlined in the business case realized, and are the stakeholders satisfied with the solution? For this section, outline how success is defined based on the following criteria.
• TECHNICAL: Scope, Cost, Resource and Schedule – what are the acceptable tolerances?
• BENEFIT REALIZATION: What are the benefits for the project/product owner and the client?
• STAKEHOLDER SATISFACTION: How will the satisfaction of the stakeholder be measured, and what is the target?
Assumptions and Constraints:
In this section, you will identify any assumptions or constraints for the Project. These typically, though not always, will be related to Scope, Cost, Resources and Schedule. Provide atleast one Assumption and Constraint.
High-Level Risks: What are the three main risks that could impact the success of the Project? There will be many risks to be identified throughout the project planning phase. The risks identified here will come from the business and typically impact Benefits Realization. These risks will be part of the Risk Planning activity, and a plan will need to be created to manage them.
Professionalism: Write the Charter with the intent that it will be presented in a business environment and should be between three to five pages.
Details in the project charter assignment requirements pdf and important details slides, also upload an example of this assignment can use the exact same format, please take a better look!
Directions:
Hypercholesterolemia (high cholesterol levels in the blood) is associated with various cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis, stroke, and myocardial infarction. Research how hypercholesterolemia develops, as well as its complications.
Initial Post
A common treatment for hypercholesterolemia is a class of drugs called statins. In your post, address the following questions:
Are statins the best course of treatment for hypercholesterolemia in adults? Why or why not?
Should they be prescribed to adults with hypercholesterolemia with no evidence of heart disease?
Should teenagers be prescribed statins if they are diagnosed with hypercholesterolemia? Why or why not?
Is there a better solution for these situations?
Be sure to support your positions with APA formatted in-text citations and references from a credible resource.

The Meaning of Quality
Define the concept of Quality in Program Management.
Why do you believe Quality has not been identified as a key factor in the Triple Constraint of Management- Time, Cost, and Scope?
Search the web for a current example of either a strong use of quality or a limited use of quality in program management. Provide an overview of your example and describe how this fits into Quality Program Management. (Example: Boeing-737/MAX; AlantiCare, or Santa Cruz Guitar Factory)
Discuss at least one experience you have had with ethical issues concerning the quality of a product or situation outcome.
