Part I: Current State of Organization and Potential Changes to Align with Trends

Describe the current state of a health care organization with regards to alignments to historical health care

industry trends. (Competency 1)

For this, use either an organization that you currently or previously had worked for, have researched as

an organization you would like to work for in the future, or one that was present in the textbook or

other research you conducted.

Explain how a health care organization needs to change to better align itself with current trends in the health

care industry. (Competency 1)

Continue using the organization that you described to meet the first scoring guide criteria.

Part II: Analysis of Current Programs

Analyze two current programs in a health care setting with regards to the inputs required to operate and its

outputs with regards to health outcome rates and patients served. (Competency 3)

As noted in the instructions above, you may use program examples from your textbook, your own

research, or your own organization. Be sure you choose examples for which you can report the inputs,

outputs, and approximate patients served.

Part III: Resource Allocation and Stakeholder Reflections

Propose whether to reallocate, maintain, or increase funding for current programs based upon available

resources and projects outputs. (Competency 4)

Use the two programs you analyzed in Part II. It will be helpful to cite evidence (literature, your

textbook, or current health improvement initiatives [like those being pursued via your state’s

Department of Health] to help support your proposals.

Explain how opinions and agendas of stakeholders influence decisions related to the funding of programs in a

health care setting. (Competency 4)

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.

My personal worldview has been shaped by a variety of experiences; from childhood to adulthood. I was raised in a catholic church by my mother, who was an immigrant from the Philippines. Because of the spanish influence in the Philippines, many cultural and religious influences are present from Spain like Catholicism, rites and rituals, some mysticism and superstition, and a strong sense of loyalty to family. These influences laid the foundation for my mother’s upbringing and her raising of me. Although my mother tried to do right by raising me in her faith, her actions spoke differently. I never felt connected to Christianity as the example I had (my mother) was decidedly not what the catholic church was teaching. It made me uncomfortable how someone could be so hypocritical in their life. Additionally, it never resonated with me to be catholic or Christian; to this day I still grapple with the idea that in Christian faith, the only way to “heaven” is to surrender to Jesus Christ.

Despite my feelings on Jesus being the way and the life, I always wanted to find a connection to the divine, I knew and I felt within me that divinity was present around and in me, but didn’t know how. I knew that my experiences from childhood (witness to domestic violence) was for a purpose in service to children and others in the same situation, that is why I choose to work in pediatrics now. As I grew into an adult, I found yoga and a connection to the divine that was so fulfilling and enlightening. As I dived deeper into yoga practice and philosophy I found that there were many similarities between the foundation of catholic faith and the principles of yoga. For example, in Christianity, “I am” is how God defines himself. In yoga and traditional Hindu tradition, “all is ma” meaning all is divine. With what I experienced in my childhood, hearing that all is divine, that everything is god, no matter how painful and horrible, that if we remove our own attachments of bad and good and SURRENDER to what is, we experience the divine, and maybe even love it.

 

Since finding my connection to the divine through yoga, I have finally found the words and the worldview that people will find a way to connect themselves to divinity, in a way that makes sense to them. All people have a right to spiritual enlightenment, a right to a fulfilling life of what their experiences have led them to, a right to care and love despite where they are or who they are or were. DeNisco (2019) describes that spirituality is a component of holistic health and that it can be a large influence on the physical health of the person when they are well and when they are unwell (p. 672). In this, I see all my patients in this light and my practice is in service to those along their journey to fulfilling those rights. My hope is to be a leader in love and service to my patients and support them in their spiritual journey as they navigate the physical world across the spectrum of health and disease.
