“Imagining a Sustainable Future: Overcoming Plastic Pollution” Introduction Plastic pollution is a pressing environmental issue that has been plaguing our planet for decades. It is caused by the overproduction and improper disposal of plastic products, resulting in the
Write a 1,000-1,250 word creative essay response that describes a sustainable future where we have solved the environmental issue you wrote about for your tech critique paper. This essay will build off of the Investing in FuturesLinks to an external site. game by More & MoreLinks to an external site., which you will have played a little earlier in the week .
Your paper should:
Begin with a 1-2 paragraph introduction that reminds us of key details of your chosen environmental issue and what, specifically, you think the problem is (should build from tech critique), outlines the world that you built in your Week 5 discussion post, and states what is to follow in the paper.
Have a well-organized body that describes (a) your own vision for what moving past the issue could look like (which includes the world you built from the cards you drew in the Investing in Futures game) and (b) the key factors in actually making that change happen. Remember, environmental problems are always connected to social and political ones so be sure to consider their interrelationships and consider conceptions of justice, as we have been doing throughout the semester. You can get as creative as you’d like to here!
At a minimum, incorporate and properly cite ONE of the Alaimo, Orekses & Conway, or Garnet Jones readings, AND include at least one other relevant course text from the semester.
Include in-text citations where appropriate in a consistent style (like APA or MLA), and include a list of references at the end. Please consult the Purdue OwlLinks to an external site. or the UNT writing lab (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. if you are unsure how to cite your sources or need additional writing support.
Be formatted in a relatively standard style (similar to the tech critique): Double-spaced; 12pt Times New Roman or other common font, saved as a .doc .docx or PDF file.
Here are some questions to consider to help you with your paper. Feel free to explore any of them (or none if you have other ideas!):
How might the features of your sustainable future – as decided by the cards you drew in the Investing in Futures game – help in overcoming the environmental issue you discussed in your tech critique paper? Does your sustainable future contain all of the features you would like, or are there others that you would add? Are there features (i.e., cards you drew in the game) that you dislike, and if so, why? What does it feel like to imagine your sustainable future? When you picture yourself there, how does that feel? Do you think that having a vision of a sustainable future might help the situation of the environmental problem you dealt with in your tech critique paper? Does your sustainable future give you a new way of seeing the environmental problem? Does having a vision of a sustainable future give you a different feeling or understanding of the climate crisis? Do you think your sustainable future is still anthropocentric? Would you want to live in the world you created in the Investing in Futures game?

Title: Improving Healthcare Quality and Reducing Errors: The Role of Insurance Companies and Provider Incentives
Landmark studies To Err is Human (1999) and Crossing the Quality Chasm (2001) from the Institute of Medicine (IOM) identified medical errors are causing harm and death to almost 45,000 Americans and costing over $29 billion every year. Other studies have indicated preventable healthcare associated conditions (HACs) such as infections, sepsis, CHF, and pneumonia are main contributors for increasing the length of patient stays, the cost of care, and the likelihood of mortality (death).

Consider the below case study:
Margret Spinner-Ramirez is a 66 y/o female Hispanic-American who speaks both Spanish and English fluently. She is retired, lives alone, and has Medicaid as her primary insurance. Ms. Spinner-Ramirez was scratched by a stray cat that she feeds on her back porch daily. She has been cleaning the wound daily; however, after 2 days she went to her local ER for increased pain, redness, and swelling in her left lower leg wound where she was scratched by the stray cat. Ms. Spinner-Ramirez explained she recently had her left knee replaced about 6 months ago and verbalized new difficulty with baring weight on that extremity to the point that she was having to use her cane again. Her vital signs at the ER visit were stable. Her left leg wound was cleaned and redressed. After 5 hours in the ER, Ms. Spinner-Ramirez was discharged to home on oral Keflex for her left lower leg infection and was instructed to call her primary care physician for a follow-up appointment. Five days later Ms. Spinner-Ramirez was taken back to the same ER via ambulance. Her neighbor found her lethargic, short of breath, and was experiencing difficulty being able to move. A CT scan and blood work revealed that Ms. Spinner-Ramirez’s knee replacement in her left leg was infected secondary to the cat scratch. She was admitted as an inpatient for sepsis. She needed to have a second left knee replacement surgery with wound irrigation and debridement, which extended her inpatient stay to 3 weeks. Once she was discharged to home, she required six weeks of IV antibiotics, extensive rehab, and home health.
If you were in charge of a healthcare insurance company:
Explain why insurance companies (which are considered payers) should or should not pay (reimburse) for injuries, extended costs, readmissions, or death (mortality) from a hospital-acquired infection or medical error. Support your why or why not?
Describe two ways (initiatives) healthcare quality can be improved to help reduce errors and improve patient safety.
Discuss how creating incentives for providers (healthcare organizations) can improve quality and reimbursements (payments) for services/care.

Executive Summary: Justifying the Operating Budget for the XYZ Unit at ABC Healthcare Organization
Write a 3–5 page executive summary that justifies the operating budget you prepared in Assessment 2 (attached)
Preparation:
The financial department has reviewed your unit’s operating budget and has asked you to submit an executive summary that provides support for your budget proposal. Your challenge is to position your unit favorably within an environment of competing demands for limited funding.
As you prepare to complete this assessment, you may want to think about other related issues to deepen your understanding or broaden your viewpoint. You are encouraged to consider the questions below and discuss them with a fellow learner, a work associate, an interested friend, or a member of your professional community. Note that these questions are for your own development and exploration and do not need to be completed or submitted as part of your assessment.
Consider the operating budget you developed in Assessment 2.
How would you justify your budget to executive leaders?
How would you link your budget to the organization’s goals and objectives?
How would you propose to meet productivity goals while staying within budget?
Requirements: Write an executive summary of the operating budget you prepared in Assessment 2 that makes a compelling case for why funds should be allocated for your budget. (Guiding questions attached)
Outline a strategic plan that ensures profitability and fiscal success.
Present a plan to meet staff productivity goals, while staying within budget parameters.
Justify equipment and service costs.
Analyze department, unit, or project alignment with the organization’s mission and goals.
Write clearly and concisely, using correct grammar and mechanics.
Integrate relevant and credible sources of evidence to support your assertions, correctly formatting citations and references using current APA style.
Additional Notes:
Negotiating budgets and communicating financial needs to stakeholders are vital skills for nurse leaders. Given today’s numerous constraints on funding and a highly competitive environment, the ability to win support for your budget proposals hinges on being able to present a compelling argument based on well-documented needs, accurate financial information, and a justifiable business case.
This assessment provides an opportunity for you to examine the mission and goals of a health care organization, in order to justify a budget proposal. A persuasive argument requires thoughtful justification and rationale for the expenses required to support your proposal. A proposal that supports the organization’s mission and goals strengthens your argument and is much more likely to get you what you need.
In every health care organization, dollars are scarce and the budget process is carefully scrutinized at every level. Nurse leaders must be business-savvy. They must be able to make a compelling case for why every budget line item and every dollar on a budget supports the mission and goals of the unit and the organization. This means that nurse leaders must be able to think in terms of the business of health care and be able to present a business proposal or plan with thorough and thoughtful justification and rationale for expenses. The business plan should present accurate, factual data and costs, and should also be concise and clearly organized. -
