PROGRAM LOGIC MODEL
This section outlines and describes the various elements of the program logic model (see Figure 2). Our logic model is an important evaluative tool as it helps to explain the ideas behind the development of the DCD guidelines and the reasons why DCD programs will lead to positive outcomes in deceased organ donation.
Inputs
The following inputs are critical to our program logic model: financial resources, planning processes, materials, equipment, staff, patients and their families, space, and research and best practices.
Activities and Outputs
The program components can be viewed as sets of activities that have a direct impact on program targets and are intended to lead to the attainment of our overall program goals. Each activity is described along with their outputs below.
Development and Delivery of DCD Guidelines/Formal Policy. This component of the program was included in our logic model to gauge delivery of DCD recommendations from CCDT to the Trillium Gift of Life Network and Transplant Manitoba. We have selected Ontario as our primary province of interest g...
The Iowa model is the research translation model that was developed by Marita G. Titler, PhD, RN. The Iowa model depicts the importance of a holistic approach to the entire health care system spanning from the provider to the patient, and the supporting infrastructure; all of which utilize the latest research to guide and shape what is known as “best practice.” The Iowa model is designed in such a way that it aids the NP through engagement in problem identification and solution development as it relates to incorporating evidence findings into practice.
While DFC staff insist the DFC grant application is simple, it is, in fact, a complex federal grant with very specific requirements that must be met. Coalitions must understand the two-part DFC application review process. The first review occurs when SAMHSA receives the applications, and eligibility screeners from ONDCP and SAMHSA review each application to ensure compliance with the statutory eligibility requirements outlined in the Drug Free Communities Act of 1997 and other requirements such as the application due date and format requirements such as page limitations.. Failure to meet even a single requirement may make an application ineligible and it will not proceed to Peer Review for scoring. , It is very easy to make a simple mistake and therefore be contacted for clarification, or worse, rejected altogether. Other times, Coalitions are contacted for clarification because the eligibility screeners could not find something that was clearly p...
The Healthy Body Wellness Center 's (HBWC) Office of Grants Giveaway (OGG) provides medical grants to hospitals and facilities. The company 's mission is to promote improvements in the quality and usefulness of medical grants through federally supported research, evaluation, and sharing of information. As part of fulfilling the businesses objectives of the HBWC OGG has contracted with We Automate Anything (WAA) to design and implement the Small Hospital Tracking System (SHGTS). The SHGTS is vital in the current functioning of the OGG as part of the HBWCs mission statement, and allows for the monitoring and distribution of grant funds. The SHGTS also functions to coll...
The consequential theory of ethics can be applied to the dilemma of deciding who will receive an organ donation and who will not. According to Pozgar (2016), the consequential theory of ethics states that a morally right action is one that leads to the greatest good. Therefore, decision makers must ask themselves which recipient will yield the greatest good. An example illustrated by Pozgar (2016), is deciding between a 75-year-old patient with multiple comorbidities, or a 5-year-old patient experiencing organ failure, but is otherwise healthy.
Organizational philosophy commits in establishing a high quality program that will be of distinct benefit to the community, as well as the medical staff. Mission consists of high patient satisfaction, compassion, reduction in medical errors, proper medical decisions, and patient education. For this reason, leadership is seeking the interest and commitment for expansion of a JRU to establish a program that is compatible with goals for quality, cost-effectiveness, and growth within the most efficient period.
This story is that, during the mid 21 century, because of the thaw of the iceberg that was floating in the Arctic, thus human created the Artificial Intelligence to help themselves to face the terrible environment easily. David is a robot like them. But he is the only one that is written into the love. As the first robot has love, he became the experimental article to be a kid for a couple who lost their son. As the time goes by, David still can’t join this family, and the couple thinks he can’t rather than their son exactly, so they make a decision to send to the company that created him to destroy him. However, they didn’t want to finally, but David can’t stay with them anymore. David thinks they don’t like him because he is not a real boy, if he can be a real boy, he will hear stories by his mother before he goes to bed, although he never need to sleep. So he still has a dream that one day, he will be a real boy, because he wants to be with his mother. His best friend and guide, Teddy helped him to find his dream and he says he will see him become a real boy. There is only one hope, Blue Fairy can help him to achieve him dream. However, you know, he did find her, but he was freezed with his best hope, Blue Fairy...

When looking at organ donation through the lense of a functional analyst, the institution of health was created to serve many different purposes. The function of health in our society is to provide
In this paper I will be using the normative theory of utilitarianism as the best defensible approach to increase organ donations. Utilitarianism is a theory that seeks to increase the greatest good for the greatest amount of people (Pense2007, 61). The utilitarian theory is the best approach because it maximizes adult organ donations (which are the greater good) so that the number of lives saved would increase along with the quality of life, and also saves money and time.
...d procedures are now being monitored to improve clinical processes. Ensuring that these processes are implemented in a timely, effective manner can also improve the quality of care given to patients. Management of the processes ensures accountability of the effectiveness of care, which, as mentioned earlier, improves outcomes. Lastly, providing reimbursements based on the quality of care and not the quantity also decreases the “wasting” and overuse of supplies. Providers previously felt the need to do more than necessary to meet a certain quota based on a quantity of supplies or other interventions used. Changing this goal can significantly decrease the cost of care due to using on the supplies necessary to provide effective, high-quality care. I look forward to this implementation of change and hope to see others encouraging an increase in high-quality healthcare.
I am currently employed as a Software Engineering Senior Analyst at Accenture. The Information system advances so rapidly that at times it is too difficult to keep up with it without proper knowledge and experience. While most of the people do get a relatively easy entry in the field after under graduation, it is very difficult to aim for a constant growth only on that basis. The field demands upgraded knowledge and experience for career growth and (achieve goals). And that is why I aspire, to pursue Masters in Management Information Systems at your esteemed University.

In the 20th century, meaningful education was all about learning ABCs and 123s whereas now it is all about learning programming languages. We are surrounded by the things that are programmed to make our work easier. Without programming, the mobiles that we use would have been reduced to small bricks. Like our heart keeps us alive, in the same way, programming brings all the hardware to life.
