hi dear,

can help me to finish this assignment with good quality and be on time please?

Please follow the instructor carefully. There are 4 Discussions ,your response to classmates should be at least one paragraph for each Discussion, address the discussion topic or question, be respectful, and add to the discussion. You may draw upon personal experience, course or scholarly references, citing appropriately. Restating the primary response, or agreeing or disagreeing without supporting statements will result in a lower grade.

In reference to including a paragraph for both primary and peer responses, 4-5 sentences constitute a paragraph.

Discussion one,

Clinical-community linkages to help connect health care providers, community organizations, and public health agencies so they can improve patients’ access to preventive and chronic care services (Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, 2013). Local communities having access to hospitals and clinics have a better chance of getting better quality health care. Hospitals having linkage to local communities allow the communities to have better communication with the hospital and they are able to provide health resources. Strategies that improve access to clinical preventive services (such as screening and counseling), community-level activities, and appropriate medical treatment have been shown to reduce and prevent disease in communities (Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, 2013). There are numerous benefits of having linkage between hospitals and local communities. Communities have opportunities to participate in organizations that can help improve their health.

There are some effective clinical-community linkages that help improve the health of people residing in the community. Patients get more help in changing unhealthy behaviors, clinicians get help in offering services to patients that they cannot provide themselves, and community programs get help in connecting with clients for whom their services were designed (Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, 2013). Hospitals are able to provide important resources associated to specific health diseases. In order to provide these health benefits, hospitals are able to communicate with their local communities to help lessen the burden of unwanted health diseases. Furthermore, it is important that hospitals have the linkage with local communities to assess in medical and health concerns each individual may have.

Discussion two,

Linkage between the community and the hospital, specifically during emergency situations is vital for many reasons including improved access to care services and improved communications during highly stressful situations. The linkage is not only important during these critical situations, but also on a day-to-day basis as hospitals can provide various programs to better influence the overall health and well-being of the community. Without a linkage the hospital will potentially suffer greatly, not only loosing funds, but also credibility when an emergency situation does occur. Additionally, hospitals have resources that are able to benefit the community in normal and crisis conditions.

Discussion three,

When 9/11 happened I believe it showed how vulnerable our emergency management system was.  The first responders and management team didn’t have an effective communication system in place in order to make key decisions quickly (Khan, 2011). First responders also didn’t have proper equipment or training for such a large scale emergency. I believe the United States had nowhere to go but up after 9/11.

Response times have improved since Hurricane Katrina, during the time that Hurricane Katrina happened, emergencies that giant weren’t considered a national issue but more of a local issue. Local officials had to ask for help instead of national agencies/government being proactive and lending help first. FEMA used to wait for the problem to become too big of an issue for local agencies to handle before getting involved, FEMA is now quickly engaged early on in the process (Mayer, 2008).
Hurricane Katrina was unlike anything that the United States has ever seen, 120 mph winds & some areas flooded as high as 27 feet above ground (Mayer, 2008). About 1,300 people died because of Hurricane Katrina and an estimated $96 billion in damages (Mayer, 2008). Communication was poor on all sides, which made things even worse.

Discussion Four,

The federal government has improved its response posture since 911. This was an event that changed the manner in which the government approaches the entire concept of response. It has become more effective in response planning. In addition to this there is an emphasis on more of a preemptive approach as opposed to just focusing exclusively on response (Hamner, 2015). This is very important as in enables the government to actively prevent all preventable emergencies and in the instance that these emergencies do materialize respond to them as quickly and as strategically as possible.

The response posture of the federal government has improved since Katrina. It has not improved to a standard that can be deemed as ideal but it has all the same improved. There are contingency plans in place to help people affected by natural disasters. Katrina was so different because it highlighted the ineffectiveness of government agencies at the time to deal with natural emergencies of that caliber.

Thanks,

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.
Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument

ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE CLASS

Discussion Questions (DQ)

• Initial responses to the DQ should address all components of the questions asked, include a minimum of one scholarly source, and be at least 250 words.
• Successful responses are substantive (i.e., add something new to the discussion, engage others in the discussion, well-developed idea) and include at least one scholarly source.
• One or two sentence responses, simple statements of agreement or “good post,” and responses that are off-topic will not count as substantive. Substantive responses should be at least 150 words.
• I encourage you to incorporate the readings from the week (as applicable) into your responses.

Weekly Participation

• Your initial responses to the mandatory DQ do not count toward participation and are graded separately.
• In addition to the DQ responses, you must post at least one reply to peers (or me) on three separate days, for a total of three replies.
• Participation posts do not require a scholarly source/citation (unless you cite someone else’s work).
• Part of your weekly participation includes viewing the weekly announcement and attesting to watching it in the comments. These announcements are made to ensure you understand everything that is due during the week.

APA Format and Writing Quality

• Familiarize yourself with APA format and practice using it correctly. It is used for most writing assignments for your degree. Visit the Writing Center in the Student Success Center, under the Resources tab in LoudCloud for APA paper templates, citation examples, tips, etc. Points will be deducted for poor use of APA format or absence of APA format (if required).
• Cite all sources of information! When in doubt, cite the source. Paraphrasing also requires a citation.
• I highly recommend using the APA Publication Manual, 6th edition.

Use of Direct Quotes

• I discourage overutilization of direct quotes in DQs and assignments at the Masters’ level and deduct points accordingly.
• As Masters’ level students, it is important that you be able to critically analyze and interpret information from journal articles and other resources. Simply restating someone else’s words does not demonstrate an understanding of the content or critical analysis of the content.
• It is best to paraphrase content and cite your source.

LopesWrite Policy

• For assignments that need to be submitted to LopesWrite, please be sure you have received your report and Similarity Index (SI) percentage BEFORE you do a “final submit” to me.
• Once you have received your report, please review it. This report will show you grammatical, punctuation, and spelling errors that can easily be fixed. Take the extra few minutes to review instead of getting counted off for these mistakes.
• Review your similarities. Did you forget to cite something? Did you not paraphrase well enough? Is your paper made up of someone else’s thoughts more than your own?
• Visit the Writing Center in the Student Success Center, under the Resources tab in LoudCloud for tips on improving your paper and SI score.

Late Policy

• The university’s policy on late assignments is 10% penalty PER DAY LATE. This also applies to late DQ replies.
• Please communicate with me if you anticipate having to submit an assignment late. I am happy to be flexible, with advance notice. We may be able to work out an extension based on extenuating circumstances.
• If you do not communicate with me before submitting an assignment late, the GCU late policy will be in effect.
• I do not accept assignments that are two or more weeks late unless we have worked out an extension.
• As per policy, no assignments are accepted after the last day of class. Any assignment submitted after midnight on the last day of class will not be accepted for grading.

Communication

• Communication is so very important. There are multiple ways to communicate with me:
  • Questions to Instructor Forum: This is a great place to ask course content or assignment questions. If you have a question, there is a good chance one of your peers does as well. This is a public forum for the class.
  • Individual Forum: This is a private forum to ask me questions or send me messages. This will be checked at least once every 24 hours.
