You are required to submit this assignment to LopesWrite. Refer to the LopesWrite Technical Support articles for assistance.
Suppose that you have two sets of data to work with. The first set is a list of all the injuries that were seen in a clinic in a month’s time. The second set contains data on the number of minutes that each patient spent in the waiting room of a doctor’s office. You can make assumptions about other information or variables that are included in each data set.
For each data set, propose your idea of how best to represent the key information. To organize your data would you choose to use a frequency table, a cumulative frequency table, or a relative frequency table? Why?
What type of graph would you use to display the organized data from each frequency distribution? What would be shown on each of the axes for each graph?
Follow-Up Post Instructions
Respond to at least two peers or one peer and the instructor. Further the dialogue by providing more information and clarification.
Consider how different distributions might affect the different graphs. How might other variables affect the graphs? How could graphs be made to be biased? If a graph were biased, how might you change it to guard against that bias?
Introduction: The process for healthcare strategy development follows a logical sequence of steps. Decisions made at each step will have implications and consequences at successive steps in the process, so forward thinking is very important.
You are the vice-president in charge of your hospital’s strategic planning process this year. You are addressing your key stakeholders and planning participants at the first strategic planning meeting.
Your assignment is to create a minimum 10-slide PowerPoint presentation describing and explaining the six-step process for strategy development in your hospital’s healthcare strategic management action plan. Additionally, explain strategic alternatives available to healthcare organizations today.
Your presentation should adhere to the following format:
As part of the presentation, you are required to use the notes section for each content slide to reinforce your presentation. You should use at least three reliable academic sources to support your presentation. One should be from the CSU Online Library, and you can use your textbook as well on your reference slide (your reference slide does not count toward the minimum slide requirement). Images and graphics, along with supporting references and in-text citations, must follow APA formatting guidelines. All sources used must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying citation
Read the attached document and follow all instructions. Excellent grammar, No Plagiarism.

Written Case Analyses
Each student will prepare written analyses of 3 cases in the textbook (and one other given case study). Each written case analysis is worth 25 points. As a suggested guide to conducting such strategic analyses, you should read Appendix A in the text entitled “Analyzing Strategic Health Care Cases”. In writing your case analysis, you may use an outline format with “expanded bullet points” as long as your ideas, statements, and recommendations are expressed fully. Please answer all case questions. Students are encouraged to do outside research (such as to visit websites) as needed to investigate contextual factors related to the case. Students are encouraged to be creative.
Each written case analysis should be at least two-pages long and completed in MS Word. All files must be submitted on Blackboard should be 12-pt font double-spaced,and 1-inch margins all around.
20-year-old athlete who developed a life-threatening reaction to anesthesia during a simple elective surgical procedure. His response was unexpected, but not unusual for individuals who possess an inherited skeletal muscle disorder leading to a condition called malignant hyperthermia because the symptoms only appear in the presence of certain anesthetics.
Create a story line for this case study and Learn how patients who suspect they possess the mutation can be tested prior to a surgical procedure.
