Introduction

Developing and evaluation is a critical component/phase of the change program. The evaluation plan acts as the baseline upon which the objectives, variables and timelines are gauged to determine how well they suit the expected final outcomes. Thus since the evaluation plan acts as the guide to achieving the outcomes, the program designer must ensure that the evaluation plan can provide information that is relevant to the program. This then avoids the wastage of time by the program implementers on information and activities that have little or no significant impact on the final outcomes (Ma, 2000). The evaluation plan is ...

Studies have verified racial and ethnic disparities in health among low-income children. From birth until they reach adulthood, African American and Hispanic children fare far worse than white children on many sociodemographic and health system measures. One of the most important factors that interacts with racial and ethnic discrimination to impact health status is social stratification.

The graduation rate for Hispanic students has risen, but the dropout rate for Hispanic students is still the highest among their African-American, Asian, and White peers. This results in too few Hispanics enrolling in college or other higher education programs, which segues into low employment rates and a higher level of poverty within Hispanic families. Hispanics are the fastest-growing ethnic minority in the United States today. Hispanic children are an important part of America’s future. Taking into account their growing numbers, they are going to become a crucial part of the work force once they reach adulthood. They are going ...

OBAMA CARE

Introduction
The term Obama care is more or less a derogatory term coined by the critics of the affordable care act put in place by president Barack Obama. The literal meaning of the term Obama care is quite disturbing to say the least. This is because it refers to the type of care that is more inclined towards president Barack Obama as opposed to the entire nation. The question thus arises as to the true nature of this Obama care and whether or not it favors the greater good of the nation or it is a desperate plan by president ...

As United States moves en route to knowledge based nation, access to higher learning has become significantly crucial. However, this process has been limited by unequal access to education from ethnic, and income based backgrounds. In addition, community based colleges have shifted their objective away from student preparation to BA institutions to propriety or vocational training (Harding, 2012).

The literature behind for profit colleges can be traced from 1976 by John Sperling, a teacher at San Jose State University. This was as a result of frustrations, and challenges that John experienced from having students with full time jobs (Breneman, Pusser and ...

Policy Analysis: Issue of Health Disparities in Alaska Natives and American Indians

Health disparities among Alaska Natives and American Indians (AI/ANs) have been reported since the initial contact that occurred nearly 500 years in the past. Moreover, the disparities are common in every age and across a wide spectrum of various disease categories (Sarche & Spicer, 2008). Accordingly, AI/ANs endure persistent health disparities that include health status decline, barriers to essential health services, and high uninsured rates. The group also experiences a lower status of health in comparison to other Americans (Frizzell, 2016). The disproportionate burden of disease and reduced life expectancy in AI/ANs can be attributed to cultural differences, discrimination in ...

Political History and Development of Nursing Education: Comparison of Kenya and Poland

Traditions and culture in Kenya are the origins of its nursing system. As an African country, the wide belief of Kenyan community in the occult and/or supernatural had determined their earliest conceptual explanations of illness and disease. The earliest known nurses in Kenya were the Traditional Health Providers and Traditional Birth Attendants (Mule, 1986). Traditional Health Providers and Traditional Birth Attendants of the pre-professional nursing era in Kenya used objects, particularly herbs and ancient practices of sacrifice/offering, as the basic forms of medicines (Mule, 1986). However, with the arrival of Western missionaries on Kenyan lands, the traditional nursing known ...

Managed health care is a comprehensive term describing the system integrating delivery of health care services with resourcing and financing. It’s also an approach under which the healthcare services can be delivered with the best possible scarce resources allocation in order to optimize the patients’ outcomes (Navarro, Cahill). In a properly functioning managed care system, people get healthcare services that are appropriate and necessary, within set efficiency criteria, within defined timeframe, complying with the highest quality standards, and with “anticipated and measurable outcomes” (Linsley, Morton, 2014). Managed healthcare differs from so-called “liberal medical practice,” allowing physicians to choose methods of ...

a. Describe the theory of Performance-based measures and its practical application.

With the implementation or utilization of a service, those receiving the service are under the expectation that the service provider should provide quality work in keeping with the client’s or customer’s satisfaction (Peer & Tenhula, 2010). The satisfaction of the customer must be the top priority in a business, as their primary goal is to serve the customer, who is their primary benefactor and the supplier of payment, and therefore funding. The theory of performance-based measures involves the reimbursement or payment of those providing a product or service based ...

The idea that schools should provide accommodations for those students who experience difficulty and disability is a relatively new one. In the past, primary, secondary, and tertiary educational institutions existed as institutions; however, as the sciences advanced and more became known about the nature of human learning disabilities, institutions of all different types and sizes began to realize that a learning disability is not necessarily associated with an intellectual disability. With this realization came the development of a number of important programs, all of which have one particular end goal: to develop an educational system in which people can ...

Higher Education and Finance in Germany, Canada and the U.S.

A changing global economy and the effects of a persistent recession have thrown into stark detail the differences in the way the world’s leading countries approach the financing of higher education – and to what extent they consider it a priority.

Canada must battle a steady drop in funding in order to maintain what have been classified among the best outcomes in higher education. For the U.S., where private funding is among the world’s highest, a compromised economy has reduced state revenues, resulting in skyrocketing tuition ...

Implement and Monitor Nursing Care for Elder Patients

Question 1
A common negative attitude that the society has is the association of the elderly with ill health and death. Many people assume that the older adults are weak, sick and always in constant fear of death. The society assumes that the older people constantly require support due to their decline in physical ability or other competencies such as hearing eyesight. This assumption contributes to the formation of a negative attitude towards all the elderly despite evidence that suggests the older people have the ability to live long and independent lives (Lyons, 2009). The implication is that the ...

The ideal customer profile of the company is aspirational as well as practical and functional. He is aspirational because he clearly wants to associate with the thrill and adventure associated with fast racing cars and sports cars. Not only does the ideal customer want to associate with such ‘toys’ for his personal gratification, but also because they make him feel wealthy and important. However, he is also a practical and functional person since he does not wish to buy such a car with his own money. Someone who is fond of flaunting his wealth and belongings as a marker ...

Health policy combines action, plans and decisions to achieve certain health care improvements.
