It is interesting to note that from the evolution of quality after World War 11 to the current period, consumers are seeking data regarding the quality of an organization prior to making a selection for a family member. Healthcare organizations must be able to demonstrate evidence based data with reliable, reproducible information. Please select either three local Nursing Homes or Hospitals (links provided below) and develop a comparative table of information provided for the three sites. Explore the data provided for each facility and document the information most interesting to you in the table. Then develop a 500 word comparative summary related to the scores indicating the quality of the organizations.
You can compare quality measures, staffing, survey results, infections etc. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.

For this week’s journal assignment you will explore how you have been socialized into some of your identities as well as take a deeper look at how you “perform” some aspects of your identities. In particular, you will apply these concepts to an in-depth examination of your ethnic identity.
For this journal assignment, please address the following:
- What is your ethnic background? Remember, ethnicity is not race. Rather, ethnicity refers to a category of people who share a common culture, ancestral, and/or national experience. Ethnicity is often reflected in language ( ENGLISH), religion (CHRISTIAN), material culture (i.e., food, clothing, music, art, etc.). For more information and assistance identifying your ethnic background refer to this website (Links to an external site.)…………….(BASE THIS ASSIGNMENT OFF OF A FEMALE AMERICAN FROM TEXAS IN THE USA)

Movies and stage plays, also known as cinema and theatre, are probably the most accessible of the performing arts. In both forms, a story is portrayed using similar methods or elements, such as actors and actresses, costumes, sets, scripts, and lighting.

Think of one of your favorite movies, and consider how different artistic choices were made in the film’s production.
- Which elements were most effective, and why?
- Could your film be turned into a stage plAY?
