programming

programming
For this laboratory assignment, you will need to write three (3) programs: Grade Lab, Penny Lab,
and Fibonacci Lab.
Grade Lab

Wri
te a C program, grade. 0, which includes a function, calculateAverage(
that can calculate the average of an arbitrary number of test scores. Your
program will not know in advance how many test scores will be entered into your
function so you will need to use a sentinel value ( – 1 ) to terminate the while
loop used to collect the test scores. The test scores are integers in the range 0 to
100 and the test score average should be output to two decimal places. Be sure
that the user prompts and grades input into the program are displayed in the
output file. Provided below is the main( ) function that I would like you to use
for your program.
int main (void)

int i

for (i= 1; i<=4; ++i){

calculateAverage

return (0)

Please do not modify the main( ) function. It should appear as the first function
in the program. Be sure to use function prototypes for each of the functions that
are used in your program.
Note that the for loop invokes the calculateAverage( ) function four times.
Each time the calculateAverage( ) function is invoked, a different set of test
grades will be entered. Please be sure to use the data shown below:
First: 78, 93, 45, 88, 89, -1
Second: 87, 68, 100, -1
Third: 84, 86, 90, 86, 96, 68, 82, -1
Fourth: -1

Project Management Planning

Project Management Planning

Assignment: Project Management Planning
Because many aspects of health care operations are changing, health care administrators oversee a wide variety of projects. These can include logistical projects such as moving a department to a new facility, technology-related projects such as introducing a new system or piece of equipment, or process-related projects such as initiating new procedures for patient discharge. If the project has any degree of complexity, it will benefit from a project management approach. Administrators and managers in health care need to have a working understanding of project management: why it is important, what it accomplishes, and the repercussions on the organization if its basic tenets are ignored or not followed. Within project management, the project plan is the cornerstone of successful execution of a project. The project plan is designed to guide the process and execution of a project.
For this Assignment, you will develop a project plan, using as your focus a work-related project you are doing now or will be doing in the future. Pick one you will be doing in the future! Or one you would like to be doing in the future! and Remember to: ” Consider the three steps described by Dr. Chassin and the seven major criteria of the Baldridge Performance Excellence Program, and reflect on how these recommendations can apply to health care organizations, specifically to long-term care facilities.” I think you will find the matrix most helpful.

Part 1: Service Level Agreement
It is suggested that the project you select be manageable in scope and not overly complex. You will assume that the objectives and scope of the project you have selected have been vetted and approved. The next step is to develop a project plan. You will develop a project management plan that will walk through key steps of the project management process. The objective of this Assignment is not a deep dive into the full intricacies of project management. Rather, it is to ensure that as a health care administrator, you have a solid theory and practical knowledge of key aspects of the project management process.
For Part 1 of this Assignment, you will create a Service Level Agreement (3–5 pages) which includes the following:
• Project Description, Purpose, and Objectives: The project description delineates key aspects of a project. In 1–2 pages, your project plan should:
o Describe the project and explain the purpose and justification for the project.
o Explain the goals and objectives of the project.
o Describe the requirements for the project.
o Explain the tangible measures for acceptance criteria used to achieve project success.
• Project Scope: The project scope defines the scope of the project and how the scope will be managed. In 2–3 pages, your project plan should:
o Summarize, in detail, the expected deliverables for the project.
o Explain the acceptance criteria for the project.
o Explain the project assumptions, risks, and constraints.
• Roles and Responsibilities: By definition, a project is a unique undertaking with a beginning and an end point. One responsibility of management is to determine who will be a part of the project team (including designation of a project manager). Ask yourself, “Who needs to be on this team to ensure that project goals are successfully met?” Consider as well the importance of communication among team members. What communication needs will each individual have? With whom will they communicate and how?
o Using the Project Roles and Responsibilities Matrix template in the Learning Resources, list the names* and titles of all individuals or entities involved in the project. Indicate whether each stakeholder is internal or external to the project organization.
Note: For privacy purposes, please use pseudonyms.
? Identify the internal and external stakeholders for a project.
? Distinguish the roles and responsibilities of the project stakeholders.
? Explain how to communicate with project stakeholders.
Part 2: Project Schedule
There are many different methodologies for planning and scheduling a project. For this Assignment, you will develop a Gantt chart that depicts key project activities, time allotted for each activity, and when each activity is scheduled to begin. To do so, you will need to consider dependencies. Some activities will be sequential, others may be simultaneous, and some may overlap.
Note: You may create your own Gantt chart using Excel, or search for and download a Gantt chart template.
• Using a Gantt chart, construct a project schedule.
• In 2–3 paragraphs of your project plan, explain the estimating techniques used to develop your project schedule. Provide rationale for why these techniques will be effective.
Part 3: Strategies for Maintaining the Project Budget
A project begins with an approved budget. Too often, however, unless the budget is meticulously managed, budget overruns occur. Health care administrators must ensure that the project management process includes careful oversight on spending. In 2–3 pages, describe the project budget key success factors including the following:
• Analyze at least three strategies that can be applied for due diligence and maintaining oversight of the project budget.
• Explain at least two challenges each of these strategies might present and identify opportunities for improvement.
• Compare the positive outcomes that might result from each strategy.
Part 4: Risk Management, Quality Management, and Sustainability
Even the most straightforward and well-planned project can be impacted by unexpected circumstances. Anticipating risks is a key part of project management, and one that a health care administrator or manager must ensure is taken into consideration by the project team. Additionally, If not carefully monitored, budget and time constraints can take a toll on the quality of a project. Create a 2–4 page risk management and quality management plan, which includes the following:
• Describe how you plan to manage risks for your project.
• Analyze strategies for managing quality within your project.
• Analyze strategies for sustainability of your project.
• Describe at least two tools and/or techniques you plan to use to manage quality and defend why you chose those tools.

Design of Health Insurance Policies

Design of Health Insurance Policies
Health insurance is designed to protect patients from the risk of expensive medical services. The cost of insurance, however, is steadily rising. When costs are too high, healthier individuals tend to not purchase insurance coverage, resulting in a lower percentage of healthy individuals to pool with those who have health issues. This poses a challenge for employers and the government, as they are tasked with designing viable policies that balance cost and generosity of benefits. For this Discussion, examine the following scenario and consider the type of insurance policy the employer should design and provide for employees.
Scenario:
You are the employee benefits manager for a mid-sized construction company with 50 employees. You are responsible for working with insurance companies to design a health insurance policy to meet your company’s needs. An analysis of the health risks of your company’s employees indicated that there are two populations of typical individuals: 20­- to 30-year-old workers with no known health issues and 40- to 50-year-old workers with chronic diabetes. Assume that 40% of the employees fall into the second category of workers with chronic diabetes.
To prepare for this Discussion:
Analyze the provided scenario. What is the obligation of the employer and the government in insuring these two populations of individuals? How do moral hazard and adverse selection impact these insurance provisions?
Consider the type of insurance policy the employer should design and provide for its employees. Be sure to consider type and generosity of coverage, premiums, deductibles, and cost-sharing.

Post a cohesive response to the following:
Analyze obligations of the employer and the government in insuring the two populations of individuals described in the scenario. Evaluate the impact of moral hazard and adverse selection on these insurance provisions. Then, recommend the type of health insurance policy the employer should design and provide for its employees. Defend your recommendations.
Support your response by identifying and explaining key points and/or examples presented in the Learning Resources.
Read a selection of your colleagues’ postings. Consider how your colleagues’ postings relate to the information presented in the Learning Resources and to your own posting.
