How Predictive Analytics May Impact the Health Care System Accurate predictions are only useful to the health care industry if specific knowledge can be translated into action. Health care organizations that harness the power of historical and real-time data must strive to predict trends and change behaviors. This means that both the prediction and the intervention must be applied to the original system and workflow that produced the data. Enhanced Decision-making Clinical indecision often leads…

In order to achieve the best results, one essentially needs to learn or utilize how to think analytically. Not only can analytic thinking serve well in everyday life, but using it for research purposes can yield answers that may not generally be found. Quality analytic thinking means to not just take information at face value, but involves logical thinking and analyzing information instead. The intent behind it is to gather relevant data and come to a reasonable conclusion. Issues need to be…

Analytic Ethical Practice-Corporate Behavior Ethical behavior varies between both hemispheres; whether its corporation or religious beliefs (Drucker, 1981). There are several concepts portray by corporation and individuals. Even though past predecessors and today’s leaders use the same language in business ethics but meanings differ. In the early 1980’s, one scholarly researcher Drucker (1981) visualize the variation of ethics. The research capitalizes on the theory of casuistry which…

What in the Tractatus is Wittgenstein Talking About? Early Wittgenstein seems to suggest that sentences of natural science have meaning, without being able to give meaning to the way of which we understand those sentences. This dismisses philosophy as only a tool to help clarify claims of natural science. However, he uses philosophy to come to this realization. He makes the realization that the way he explains his own findings are in fact a violation of those findings stating, “My propositions…

Question 2: Map scale is the ratio of the straight line distance between any two points on a map to the straight line distance between the same two points on the earth’s surface. Now when looking at map scale there a few concepts for instance, ratio (representational fraction) scale is a concept of map scale. Ratio scale is always neutral in the scale measurement used on the map. So when looking at a map scale of 1:50 000 it means that 1 unit of measurement on the map is equal to 50 000 of the…

When looking at the floor plan of the Kaufmann Desert House by Richard Neutra, the first thing that was drawn to my attention was all the similar geometry, specifically the L shaped geometries. They were all different shapes and sizes, and were facing all different directions, There was a sense of repetition embedded within the floor plan. A central axis stood out, and it was obvious that all the L shaped geometries were rotated around this central axis, and then shifted off of it. Diagram one…

The handy helper I choose was a video from Khan Academy. This video was about the Cartesian Coordinate System. I naturally gravitated to the Khan Academy link because I was already accustomed to the website while using it to get spun back up before this class. The Kahn Academy site contains similar math videos and you learn from watching their videos and practicing math problems that relate to the video. This particular video consists of a guy explaining math while at the same time visually…

The solution of the Frank and Doris race problem looked to be simple at first. Although Doris speed began faster, Frank gained speed and passed her and thus seemed to be the winner of the race. After looking more closely at the problem I discovered this was not quite the case. I first sketched Frank and Doris given values onto the one Velocity-Time graph. Originally looking at this graph, it looks as if Frank passes Doris at 10 seconds, because that is when his speed becomes greater than Doris’s…

Parasitism is one of several classes of symbiosis. A parasitic relationship is a non- mutual relationship between two organisms. One organism, the parasite, lives off another organism, the host. The parasite typically attacks one host and does not kill the host. However, a parasitoid is another parasitic relationship where there is one host and the host is always killed. Sacculina is a genus of parasitic rhizocephalan barnacles that infect and castrate crabs. This genus was first described by…

Anemia can be a sign of systemic illness. Because it is never normal, the cause for it should be sought when it is present in the patient. Is a common finding in a family practice office that is sometimes straightforward in nature, but perplexing at other times. There are numerous processes that can result in anemia. You can result from decreased production of red blood cells which is seen in nutrient deficiencies such as low B12 levels and iron levels, bone marrow disorders, suppression of…
