Provide an overview of the Meaningful Use program and an analysis of the implications for nurses, nursing, national health policy, patient outcomes, and population health associated with the collection and use of Meaningful Use core criteria. Recommend additional core criteria not presently identified for Meaningful Use collection in Stages 1 or 2 (lists of criteria may be found at cms.gov) that you feel would be beneficial for nurses, nursing, monitoring population health, setting national health policies, and/or improvements in patient outcomes or population health, providing your evidence for your recommendations. If you feel that no additional criteria are necessary, provide your evidence-based rationale for your argument. Conclude with insights gained from this assignment. A minimum of three outside scholarly resources are required—texts may be cited but are NOT included among the minimum of three outside scholarly resources. If you could please incorporate EPIC as the program utilized in this paper.

Review United States v. Greber and answer the following:
How, if at all, can you distinguish Greber from other instances of payments for professional services?

Suppose the percentage Dr. Greber paid to the physicians had not exceeded Medicare’s guidelines. Would that payment still amount to prohibited remuneration in the court’s eyes?

Explain what a misdemeanor crime is and what a felony crime is

What effect changing Medicare fraud offenses from misdemeanors to felonies caused.

Requirements for the Written Assignment This assignment requires that you research a microbe of your choice, provide basic information on the organism and the disease it causes, and consider how a patient infected with this organism is managed. The purpose of the exercise is firstly to give you some experience with searching for microbiologically-related material online (or elsewhere), and secondly to allow you the opportunity to gather more information about a particular microbe that you may have always been curious about, but that we do not have time to cover in class. The microbe that you choose for this assignment is entirely up to you, as long as it belongs to one the following microbial groups: Viruses, Bacteria, Fungi, or Protozoa. Also, the microbe must be a known human pathogen (ie. able to cause disease in humans), as opposed to being exclusively a pathogen of animals or plants. Your report must include the following points and can be subdivided into these headings: 1. The Microbe. Give the complete scientific name of the organism and a short description of its pertinent biological features. For example, if your microbe is a bacteria, you should cover points such as its gram reaction, its morphological features, whether it has any special nutrient or growth requirements, its normal habitat (does it only live in humans, or can it be found in other environments such as animals or soil?), and any other relevant biological or physiological characteristics. If your microbe is a virus, is it an RNA or a DNA virus, is it enveloped or not, does it have any special replication patterns, etc. This section should not be longer than 1 double-spaced page. 2. The Disease. Describe the disease caused by your microbe, covering the following points: – What is the epidemiology of the disease (eg. how common is it; where geographically does it occur; does it occur in all humans or only a subset such as the immunocompromised)? – What are the typical symptoms associated with the disease? – How is the disease diagnosed and/or how is the microbe identified in the laboratory? – How does someone acquire this infection (what is the mechanism of transmission)? – What steps can be taken to prevent or minimize the risk of contracting the disease (is there a vaccine available and if so, how well does it work; is prevention mostly through avoiding contact; etc.)? This section should not be longer than 1.5-2 double-spaced pages. 3. The Patient. Describe how a patient with this disease is managed from a medical perspective, covering the following points: – Is there a specific treatment for this disease (eg. an antibiotic) and if so, how well does it work? If there is no treatment, how should the patient best be cared for? – What is the expected outcome after treatment (eg. would you expect the patient to be fully cured, or can there be long-term damage as a result of the disease, etc.) – What types of infection control measures must be used if this patient is hospitalized or in your care (ie. measures to protect both yourself and others in a health care facility)? Does this patient pose any special risk in the community? This section should not be longer than 1.5 -2 double-spaced pages. Other Important Information 1. Duplicated and/or Plagiarized Work This is intended to be an individual assignment. Chances are high that one of your friends will pick the same microbe as you – however you must each do your own research and each write your own report. Evidence of duplicated work between you and someone else will be penalized. 2. Format You do not need to follow a prescribed format or presentation style for the text or the references. All I ask is that you use complete sentences, organize your thoughts logically, and write clearly and concisely. For references, any format is acceptable – for example, you may use in-text citations if you wish, or simply just list all your sources on a separate page at the end. 3. References List all your sources whether they are web-based (give the web address and the date you accessed it), journals, or textbooks. Try to use a number of different sources to see if they all agree. A small part of your mark on the assignment is based on how much variety you have in your sources (just re-wording a single Wikipedia entry will not get you many marks). 4. Length As indicated above, aim for a length of 4 – 5 double-spaced pages, not including references. I will not penalize you if you are over the prescribed length as long as it’s within reason (ie. one-half to one page longer is OK – just remember that longer is not necessarily better). 5. Grading Scheme Marks will be assigned as follows (for a total of 18%): – 5% – for your description of the microbe – 6% – for your description of the disease – 5% – for your description of the patient and/or management of the disease – 2% – for your use of references (number used, types, and variety) Note that the assignments will only be “lightly” reviewed – in other words, because there are so many of you, I will not have time to provide a detailed critique of each assignment. I will look only to see that the required information is there, that it is presented properly, and that everything is clearly described. Unfortunately, we do not have the resources to return

For this part of your project, consider the scenario below and prepare a 2-3 page paper: discussing the various defenses that are applicable to the parties be sure to discuss how the defenses of: self-defense justifiable use of deadly-force how the Stand Your Ground Law will apply to Alan and Betty. Alan, Betty and Charlie were long-time friends and grew tired of the “daily grind.” They each wanted to make a quick buck, but never managed to be successful. One evening over a lot of beers, Alan confided with Betty and Charlie that he was feeling “crazy” lately ever since he stopped “taking his medication.” Alan said he had a dream where the three of them went into the National Bank with fake guns and robbed the tellers for $1,000,000.00. What at first may have seemed like just a joke, both Betty and Charlie thought they should put the dream to reality. The plan was this: Alan and Charlie were going to enter the bank with fake guns, while Betty waited in the car outside to drive away and act as a “lookout. Alan was going to hold-up the tellers while Charlie took the Manager to the vault. All three were going to use walkie-talkies to communicate so their cell-phones could not be traced to the location of the robbery. After five minutes, Alan and Charlie would run out with the money and Betty would drive to change vehicles so as not to be detected. Unfortunately, everything did not go as planned. During the Robbery, despite using fake guns, David, a customer standing in-line, pulled out a real firearm and shot Charlie in the back three times. While Charlie was lying on the ground, David stood over him and could see he was still breathing. David shot Charlie three times in the head, killing him instantly. Alan managed to get to the car and told Betty to “drive” and that “Charlie was shot.” Soon thereafter, they were stopped and arrested for armed robbery, attempted robbery, and Murder. The two were held no bond pending the trial.

Acoustics is the branch of physics that deals with theproduction, control, transmission, reception, and effects ofsound. Acoustical design is the planning, shaping, finishing,and furnishing of an enclosed space to establish an acousticenvironment necessary for the distinct hearing of speech ormusical sounds.

When you want to keep the sounds of conversationcontained within an office, a good place to start is with the use of absorbent materials, which will lower sound levelswithin the room.

The goal of choosing proper materials is to reduce the sound impact and the noise, and to create a comfortable environment and aesthetic interior space.

There are different types of acoustic materials:
1. Diffusors
2. Absorbers
3. Insulator
Interior designers are trained to focus on all these in addition to having knowledge about what is trending in the market and being able to solve acoustical problems.

Case Study Outline

Step1. Research about different types of acoustic materialsand going in depth by mentioning the importance of form, function, color, technology etc…
Step2. Research about different elements of construction according to their location (ceiling, wall, floor…..)

Report Guidelines:

• Word limit (1000 words)
• Written in third person
• Different types of acoustical materials and their uses and properties.
• The Results & Discussion
• Bibliography
• Appendix
• Avoid plagiarism (copy, paste of information).
