Description

In this assignment you will select a client or client system (e.g., older adults diagnosed with depression, women diagnosed with bipolar disorder, families in divorce, people living with food or housing insecurity) and then formulate an intervention plan based on your assessment of the needs of the client system and drawn from evidence-based practice (EBP). Include the following sections in your intervention plan: 1. Describe your client / client system and who you would include in the intervention process o Consider micro to macro level intervention targets (This will differ depending on your choice of client / client system. In some cases, the work might focus on the micro-system such as individual, couple, family, group work. In other cases, the work might focus on macro-level public health interventions such as raising awareness about HIV/AIDS.) o In terms of inclusion, identify which systems, agencies and institutions will contribute to the success of the intervention, according to EBP. 2. State which intervention is deemed to be effective for your client / client system (support this statement with EBP / scholarly sources).

o You can choose to base your intervention plan on any of the following practice models from our course as appropriate: Motivational Interviewing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy Narrative or Solution-Focused Therapy Psychodynamic / Interpersonal Therapy Emotion-Focused Therapy 3. Clearly describe the proposed intervention procedures. o What specific steps are in the intervention process (refer to scholarly sources for information)? o What is the overall goal of the intervention? o How long will the intervention take? o What are some barriers to implementing the intervention? What are some solutions to these barriers? o What strengths does the client (generally) bring to the intervention process? o Why did you choose this type of intervention? What are some other way(s) that you could intervene, and why did you not choose those option(s)? o Who will implement the intervention? (Explain why and how a social work professional can be effective in implementing this intervention with this client / client system.) 4. How will you evaluate your intervention? Think critically about how you will evaluate your practice / program effectiveness. (Refer to your SOWK792/3 class.) Be specific about what you will track and measure (Outcomes? Satisfaction? Process?) and how (e.g. standardized pre-post-tests of what? session/ outcome ratings? rating the quality of activities per week, frequency of positive / negative thoughts per week?) Why did you choose your evaluation measure(s)? How exactly will the evaluation be conducted? • What information will you need to complete the evaluation? • When will the evaluation occur? • Who will conduct the evaluation? • What are some barriers to conducting the e

Description

The idea would be to use publically available data from The Cancer Imaging Archive (https://www.cancerimagingarchive.net/) focused on Prostate Cancer with Radiomics tools from “The Computational Environment for Radiological Research” (Deasy JO, Blanco AI, Clark VH. CERR: a computational environment for radiotherapy research. Med Phys. 2003;30:979–985.) and the latest extension to that (Apte et al. Technical Note: Extension of CERR for computational radiomics: A comprehensive MATLAB platform for reproducible radiomics research. Med Phys. 2018;45:3713-3720) to predict Gleason Grade and then test that on new data

Proposed New Photographic Guidelines for Plastic Surgeons Using Social Media Platforms

/0 Comments/in /by

Description

Like the title suggests, this paper is about before and after photos of cosmetic plastic surgeries and making guidelines to standardize presentation on social media apps like instagram. The results and photos are often subjective, but we would like to make arguments to objectify them. I have attached 10/21/2019 Writers Hub – Freelance Writing  the beginning of the paper to help as a launching point. We need another 3000 words. I also attached other papers which examine medical photography. Attached are 22 screenshots from instagram which can be used as figures and talking points in the article (assign a figure number to each one). I can email them to you if they don’t upload here properly. Feel free to screenshot and use other before and after photos from plastic surgeons on instagram (@robertmorinmd , @drdana_nyc , @drghavami , @plastic.touch). The main procedures to go over are breast implant/lift, abdominoplasty, brazilian butt lift, rhinoplasty, and rhytidectomy. Ability to analyze photographs and include more references is needed. Some discussion points: Lighting criteria & angles Hairdo – consistency Makeup (Used or not? Should it be?) BMI change criteria (often used for abdominoplasty and gluteal augmentation) How many weeks or months out? Makes a difference 1 week vs. 6 months out from surgery and a lot of the time there’s no long term photos online on websites or social media posts. Importance of transparency in the profession for patients if they want to take American Association of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) seriously.

The Inclusion of Leader Nurses in the Systems Development Life Cycle SDLC and the development of a new health information technology system

/0 Comments/in , /by

PLS SEE ALL UPLOADED ARTICLES AND DISCUSSION DETAILED INSTRUCTION DOCS Introduction Nurse have an important role in the Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC). With a focus on patient care and outcomes, nurses may not always see themselves as contributors to the development of new systems. However, as you may have observed in your own experience, exclusion of nurse contributions when implementing systems can have dire consequences. In this Discussion, consider the role that nurses might play in systems development and the ramifications of not being an active participant in systems development. Review the steps of the Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC) as presented in the Required Media from YouTube Louis, I. (2011, August 17). Systems development life cycle (SDLC) [Video file]. Retrieved from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtpyjPrpyX8 and the attached uploaded research articles and any other relevant peered-reviewed resources of your choice and write a 2 page discussion APA style on the following 1. Reflect on your own healthcare organization (a large nursing home facility) and consider any steps your healthcare organization goes through when purchasing and implementing a new health information technology system (ie A Mobile Phone App for Bedside Nursing Care). 2. Examples of Potential Issues at Each Stage of SDLC and How Incorporation of Nurses May Assist In Addressing the Various Issues 3. Consider what a nurse might contribute to decisions made at each stage of the SDLC when planning for new health information technology (ie A Mobile Phone App for Bedside Nursing Care). 4. Provide specific examples of potential issues at each stage of the SDLC and explain how the inclusion of nurses may help address these issues 5. A description of what you believe to be the Consequences of a healthcare organization of not Involving Nurses in Every SDLC Stage Especially When purchasing and implementing a new information technology (IT) System. 6. Then, explain whether you had any input in the Selection, Design, planning and Application of new health information technology systems (such as A Mobile Phone App for Bedside Nursing Care) in your nursing practice or healthcare organization and explain potential impacts of being included or not in the decision-making process. Be specific and provide examples.
