Meyer, CEO, should educate the board and stakeholders to ensure their critical support (Health Research & Educational Trust and College of Healthcare Information Management Executives, 2010).

The board and stakeholders need to hear how an EHR will improve care, create effectiveness, and help SMC reach its vision (Health Research & Educational Trust and College of Healthcare Information Management Executives, 2010). Meyer, president of SMC, will lay out the steps and

Over the past 46 years there has been an increased in the number of people who are in favor of legalizing marijuana. In a survey conducted in 1969, “12 percent of Americans thought marijuana used should be legal” (Jones 1). Nothing really change in the 1970’s and 1990’s, but in 2000 it “exceeded 30 percent…and was higher than 40 percent by 2013” (Jones 1). Several reasons for this dramatic increase is that more Americans are becoming aware of its medicinal use, also how the legalizing marijuana can help boost in revenue, and “newer generations of adults are more in favor of marijuana, replacing the older generation of adults who aren’t” (Jones 1).

As a bilingual, speaking English requires a lot of sacrifices because in order to speak the language correctly you are going to have to erase your accent. Erasing your accent requires you to forget about your roots, but isn’t bettering someone’s accent by erasing his roots an act of war or a violation of the first amendment?

The article “The Students’ Right to their Own Language” by the Conference on College Composition talks about how the CCC affirms that the student should have the right to their own language. This article also argues that many English teachers are not prepared to be language teachers and are unwilling and unready

After finish reading the book, I had gained a better understanding of what a good strategy means to the success of a company. According to Rumelt, a good strategy is coherent, where companies pursue multiple objectives that are connected with each other. Rumelt points out that a good strategy consists of three elements: diagnosis, guiding policy, and coherent action. (71) First, diagnosis means to define the obstacles and challenges that the companies are facing, and guidelines help the people to overcome the obstacles. Lastly, coherent action is the activities or actions that company did to be consistent with its guiding policy. Today, many of us lost the focus of the strategy, which results in the downward of businesses and organizations. Rumelt has defined the strategy as acknowledging the main problems and take coherent action to overcome the problems. Moreover, he illustrates

Passion is what builds people’s hopes and dreams, and helps them push their way through life. My passion is my horses and live for animals. Since I was a little girl, animals have played a considerably large part in my life. Not only because I have grown up on a farm, but also because I focused my work, hobbies, and future around them. Five-year-old me would never hesitate when people asked me what I wanted to do as an adult, I would immediately respond with, “I want to be a vet.” Now that I am an adult, this field of work still awes me.
