BOB lives in and owns a business in Washington State selling coffee at a retail store called Northwest Grinds. BOB visits Colorado on business (he was meeting with some people with Central America connections in the coffee business) and causes a car accident with a car driven by AMY. AMY is a Colorado resident at the time of the accident.   AMY sustained serious injuries. The police in Denver, the location of the accident, investigated the accident and cited BOB with careless driving.

After her recovery, AMY had total damages of $120,000 for medical bills and loss of work due to the accident.   Coincidentally, after her full recovery AMY moved to Washington State because her job transferred there.   Also coincidentally, BOB opened a new business location in Colorado and called the store Northwest Grinds, and it’s the same company, Northwest Grinds, incorporated in Washington, but now also doing business in Colorado.

Address the following questions:

1. What tort claims does AMY likely have against BOB?
2. Which state or states have jurisdiction over the case and why?
3. Can AMY sue Northwest Grinds? What tort theories would allow this, if any? And explain in detail why or why not.
4. Assume AMY sues BOB and Northwest Grinds in State Court in Washington. Can BOB remove the case to Federal Court in Washington?   Explain why or why not.
5. If BOB wants the case to proceed in Colorado, what arguments can BOB make to have the case stayed or dismissed and moved to Colorado?

Frames of Leadership Analysis 

The Leadership Orientations assessment is keyed to four different conceptions of organizations and of the task of organizational leadership.  Lee Bolman and Terry Deal in Reframing Organizations present these orientations as four frames — a distinct way of thinking about leadership and organizations.

The Four Frames

STRUCTURAL LEADERS: emphasize rationality, analysis, logic, facts, and data. They are likely to believe strongly in the importance of clear structure and well-developed management systems.  A good leader in the structural leader’s view is someone who thinks clearly, makes the right decisions, has good analytic skills, and can design structures and systems that get the job done.

HUMAN RESOURCE LEADERS: emphasize the importance of people. They endorse the view that the central task of management is to develop a good fit between people and organizations. They believe  in the importance of coaching, participation, motivation, teamwork, and good interpersonal relations. A good leader in the view of a human resource leader is a facilitator and participative manager who supports and empowers others.

POLITICAL LEADERS: believe that managers and leaders live in a world of conflict and scarce resources.  The central task of management is to mobilize the resources needed to advocate and fight for the unit’s or the organization’s goals and objectives. Political leaders emphasize the importance of building a power base: allies, networks, coalitions. A good leader to a political leader means an advocate and negotiator who understands politics and is comfortable with conflict.

SYMBOLIC LEADERS: believe that the essential task of management is to provide vision and inspiration. They rely on personal charisma and a flair for drama to get people excited and committed to the organizational missions.  A good leader in their view is a prophet and visionary, who uses symbols, tells stories, and frames experience in ways that give people hope and meaning.

Discuss with the group the results of your Frames of Leadership Analysis.  What did you learn?  What surprised you

H 483: Please write up 150 to 200 word counts for questions # 1 to 6; (# 7 It’s a table). Your initial response should include detail that combines the textbook – Health Care Information Systems and with your personal experience/ knowledge. Cite/ References work. Do not plagiarize!

1. RMF: The benefits of using information technology are plentiful. For example, the promise of fully realized electronic medical records is having a single record that includes all of a patient’s health information: a record that is up to date, complete, and accurate.

In addition, do you think information technology really improve the security and confidentiality of patient health information? What research have you found that supports your point of view?

2. What is the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)? Why is it important to privacy and security?

3. When dealing with HIPAA regulations, the use of security measures begins with the healthcare facility.  The organization must follow regulated rules that abides by HIPAA regulations (Wager, 2013).

How do health care organizations enforce the federal rules associated with HIPAA and the Privacy Rule? What are some methods they employ?

4. Healthcare organizations can incure fines and penalties for not protecting pateint informaiton (Wager, 2013). Can anyone provide a brief description of the fines and penalties for disclosing patient information without consent? Also, are these fines and penalties described under federal law or state law?
5. HIPAA protects electronic medical records. However, converting paper-based health care records to electronic records can be extremely challenging (Wager, 2013). What are the major costs associated with converting paper-based health care records to electronic records?

6. Why have health care organizations not used information technology (IT) as much as other industries? What trends suggest this may change in the near future?

Differentiated instruction doesn’t start with teaching, it starts with building relationships in a safe, positive classroom environment. This week you will create a differentiated classroom framework based on a design that was originally constructed to assist teachers in meeting the new Common Core State Standards in an inclusion classroom (Voltz, Sims, Nelson, & Bivens, 2005). This framework will be shared with other teachers in your Professional Learning Community (PLC) with the shared vision of creating a strong school vision that is student-centered through the foundations of differentiation.

You will design a differentiated classroom environment plan that includes a physical layout along with pro-social strategies for encouraging positive behaviors. This may be presented as a Prezi or PowerPoint, in a Voicethread with audio narration, blog space, or using a standard Word document. The length of presentation style will be determined by your choice of presentation tool. Each section below must be thoroughly addressed. The minimum length requirements are listed below.

Demographics – Describe your current (or fictional) classroom including:

• Grade Level and Subject Area
• Total number of students – ability levels, gender, students with special needs, English Language Learners (ELLs)
• Other relevant information (such as socioeconomic status, family background, recurring behavior issues, etc.)

Classroom Environment – Discuss how you will use foundational concepts of differentiated instruction to design your classroom’s physical layout to meet the demographics you’ve outlined. Be sure to include:

• Furniture arrangement (this includes students desks, teacher’s desk, computers, reading corner, library, pets, quiet zone)
• Architecture (this includes immobile objects and structures such as doors, windows, bathroom, sink, bulletin boards, chalk/ white boards)

You must include at least one scholarly, research-based article to support your design. You must also include either a diagram, photos, or illustration along with a written (three to four paragraphs) or narrated explanation (one to two minutes) of why you chose this particular layout and how it relates to your class demographics.

Classroom Environment – Minimum Length Requirements:

• Prezi or PowerPoint – three slides
• Blog or Standard word document – three to four paragraphs
• Narrated Voicethread – one to two minutes

Positive Behavior Environment – Describe how you will encourage positive behavior using proactive differentiated strategies based on current (within the last five years) research. Be sure to include:

• Rules and routines that maximize success
• Value individual differences
• Emotionally safe environment
• Specific behaviors are expected (respect, listening, problem solving)

Positive Behavior Environment – Minimum Length Requirements:

• Prezi or PowerPoint – six slides
• Blog or Standard Word document – six paragraphs
• Narrated Voicethread – three minutes

Use your course text and at least two scholarly articles from the Ashford University Library or Google Scholar to support your research. Be sure to provide proper APA citations at the end of your assignment for the sources that you use (e.g., at the bottom of the blog or last slide of PowerPoint). If writing a paper, APA format should be followed including title and reference pages.
