We have discussed Livy's style of historical writing and how he constructs the macro-narrative of Rome's long history from its origins. He is a Roman patriot, but an ambivalent one, given the trajectory of Rome from its virtuous past to its vicious present and its even more ambiguous future in Livy's day. He finds writing about past a respite from the more troubling times of the civil wars. Polybius, on the other hand, is a Greek writing as a witness to both contemporary events and things from the more recent past. His perspective is as a foreigner, but a privileged one with access to leading families in Rome. But he also writes in a Greek tradition of historiography, which since the times of Alexander the Great comprises a much broader view of events than narrow nationalistic histories. So what kind of history is he writing? Reflect on this with reference to the readings from Polybius, and write 400+ words in response looking at the guiding questions below. What does Polybius mean by "pragmatic history"? How does it differ from Livy's style of history? Why is Rome at the center of something that he claims is rather a "universal history," and what does that say about the structure of historical events? This might help The Rise of the Roman Empire (Penguin Classics)

Research Paper—The Changing American Perspective on the Iraq War and the War on Terror Your goal for this research project is to analyze the change in the American public’s (general) sentiment towards the Iraq War/War on Terror from September 11th, 2011 to the current day. You’ll compare the similarities in the beginning towards the American stance on World War II and the similarities in the modern day to the American public’s stance on the Vietnam War. Remember that you’re focusing on the general sentiment/support of the wars in question by the American public. Starter Resources: ? Source 1: Perspective on World War I and World War II o https://dc.etsu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=32... ? Source 2: Vietnam to Iraq War - Changes in Support o https://pages.uoregon.edu/vburris/vietnam_to_iraq.... Paper Requirements: Your two-to-three-page research project should address the following key topics: 1) Introduction—Provide a brief overview of American support of the Iraq War directly after September 11th, 2001 and the current sentiment towards it as more time has gone on and new facts have emerged such as the initial claims of WMDs (Weapons of Mass Destruction) being shown as false or overstated. Introduce your key points of comparison to World War II and the Vietnam War that will be expanded upon later in your research paper. 2) American Sentiment Directly After 9/11—Describe the American public’s support of the Iraq War and War on Terror directly after the terrorist attacks. Do you think this was a justified response or not? What were the primary causes of support for the war? Provide a counterargument. Make a strong point of comparison to the American public’s support of World War II after the attack on Pearl Harbor to America and the War on Terror after 9/11. 3) American Sentiment in the Current Day—Describe the American public’s support of the Iraq War and War on Terror in the current day. What caused this change in support? Make a strong point of comparison to the American public’s support of the Vietnam War to America and the War on Terror today. Create an argument for whether you support the War on Terror based on the available information you now know. Citing Your Sources During Research: Whenever you use information from research on the internet, in books, or documentaries, you must cite (record) your sources.

When healthcare administrators tackle urgent organizational problems, they may be tempted to move quickly from one problem to the next temporarily “putting out fires” without stopping to take a broader view of the HSO’s risk management practices or service quality. Although thorough assessments take time, they can provide leaders with valuable information needed to implement meaningful and lasting improvements. The use of frameworks like the ERM and the Six Domains of Quality in Healthcare guide administrators to broadly assess their HSO’s risk management practices and healthcare quality in multiple domains. In this Assignment, you will critically analyze your selected HSO’s healthcare service quality against the Six Domains of Quality in Healthcare. You will also analyze your HSO’s risk management practices against the ERM framework The Assignment: 5- to 6-page paper (not including title page or References page) Critically analyze your selected HSO against the Six Domains of Quality in Healthcare. Critically analyze your selected HSO against the ERM framework.

For this Assignment, you will conduct an investigation of the different settings and types of facilities in your community that contribute to the healthcare system. As the landscape of health care changes, delivery of health care services now involves many types of organizations, including retail pharmacies, medical equipment suppliers, clinics, diagnostic facilities, freestanding research labs, assisted living and long-term care facilities, third-party administrators, hospitals, and so forth. As you survey the types of health care services in your community, you should consider the different types of facilities that interest you as you develop your career goals. You should also draw from the learning lessons in your discussions about your personality type, the strengths and opportunities you identified as they relate to the strengths in a type of organization, the matrix set-up, and your “good match” for your leadership style, personality preferences, career goals, and interests. Select at least two different organizations that you believe best fit your career interests and goals, leadership style, and professional competencies based on what you discovered about yourself from the Healthcare Administration Leadership Skills Assessment Survey and the HumanMetrics self-assessment activity (personality type). Include a discussion in your speaker notes of the unique competencies that you believe are most important for effective leadership in each of your selected organizations. Relate your leadership style, personality preferences, career goals, and interests to the pros and cons of at least two organizations you believe are a fit.

Overview The final project for this course is an error analysis and recommendations paper. Students will review a case study that discusses a medical error leading to an adverse patient outcome in a hospital or other healthcare organization. Students will determine the type of error that occurred and its causal and contributing factors, and then recommend strategies that can be used to lower the incidence of the error. In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes: Recommend measurable evidence-based patient safety improvement strategies through analysis of factors leading to adverse patient outcomes Develop key elements of disclosure and incident reporting systems that address the needs of patients, families, and healthcare systems and are consistent with state and federal reporting requirements Analyze patient safety culture using appropriate assessment tools for recommending methods to effectively improve culture Propose essential communication and teamwork strategies that are measurable and promote safer patient care in healthcare organizations Prompt In your error analysis and recommendations paper you will answer the following question. What caused the medical error that occurred, and how would you suggest that the error could be prevented from happening again? To answer this guiding question, you will analyze the medical error in the case study you choose. (see attachment for selected case study) Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed: Root Cause Analysis (RCA): In this section, you will provide an overview of the details in the provided case study that led to adverse patient outcomes. This overview will be in the form of a flowchart, which you will then use to help you analyze the medical error. Specifically, you should include the following: Timeline: Using a flowchart, summarize the events, processes, and staff involved in the timeline of events that led to the medical error. Factors: Based on your flowchart, use a modified root cause analysis to do the following: Identify two contributing factors that led to the medical error Identify one causal factor that led to the medical error Patient Safety Strategies: In this section, you will use the factors you identified to recommend a measurable evidence-based patient safety improvement strategy. Specifically, you should include the following: Recommendation: Based on the contributing factors or causal factor that you identified, recommend an evidence-based patient safety improvement strategy. What role would patients and families have in your recommendation? Measurement: How will the strategy be measured so that medical staff can determine whether the strategy led to improved patient safety? In other words, what will the primary measure be? What types of data should be collected? Disclosure: In this section, you will develop key elements of disclosure and incident reporting systems. Specifically, you should cover the following: Details: Based on state and federal reporting requirements and the results of the root cause analysis (RCA), identify the details that would be necessary to disclose the error to the patient and family. Method and Preparation: How would you suggest disclosing these details to the patient and family? What preparation would be needed for the staff, patient, and family before the disclosure? Reporting: What elements of the RCA and corrective action plan (strategies) would need to be shared with accrediting or regulatory agencies? For example, what elements should be reported to the State Department of Health and Human Services? What should be reported to The Joint Commission? Patient Safety Culture: In this section, you will analyze patient safety culture through the use of a survey as an assessment tool. Specifically, you should address the following: Analysis: Analyze all of the patient safety culture survey results at the facility where the error occurred. These results are in your Final Project Case Studies document. What does this survey tell you about the patient safety culture at the facility? Based on your analysis, what are the areas for improvement? Outcome: In what ways might the outcome have been different if the facility had a stronger patient safety culture? Your response should be based on your analysis of the patient safety culture survey. Recommendation: Recommend one method that could be used to improve the patient safety culture. Justify your recommendation with your analysis of the survey. Communication: In this section, you will propose communication and teamwork strategies, explaining how these strategies promote safer patient care. Specifically, you should address the following: Strategy: What strategy or strategies could be used to improve communication and team building? Explain why you selected the strategy or strategies, basing your response on your analysis of the medical error and the patient safety culture. Safer Patient Care: How does the strategy (or strategies) promote safer patient care? What evidence do you have to support your response? Measurement: How will the communication and teamwork strategy or strategies be measured? In other words, how will we know that communication improved? What to Submit Your error analysis and recommendations paper should be 10 to 12 pages in length (plus a cover page and references) and must be written in APA format. Use double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, and one-inch margins. All references and citations should be cited in APA format.
