The HCZ Case Study

I plan to use the input and assistance of my principal, administration, and other colleagues to assist me with necessary portions of my action research project. I will develop a written plan of action further in the project, monitor the project reflective, and prepare a research summary research report of the results of my action research project addressing the effectiveness of the implementation of the PBIS program at Otter Creek Middle School. My plans are for my research to be implemented further along with my principal internship after I have completed the course as well.

on the theory and practice in adult learning and action research. This creates a kind of social space in organization that is important in the facilitation of a practice-based example. Making it

Based on my prior knowledge and this week’s resource, I see a little clear why action research can help me address the needs of my students better. This week I have learned the difference between action research/teacher inquiry and education traditional research. Also, I have learned the relationship between action research and teacher professional growth and decision making. Last, I have been able to see what teacher inquiry/action research look like, how they are similar and different.

I want to introduce myself to you. I am the Woonsocket Health Equity Zone (HEZ) Manager at Thundermist Health Center. The Woon HEZ collaborative uses a place base approach in order to ensure that all neighborhoods become the kinds of places that enable all children and families to succeed and thrive. This requires intentional efforts to build, sustain and operationalize certain types of community capacity. The HEZ grant renewal process is underway and one of our required year 2 activities around improving physical activity in the community is for the collaborative to engage the City to develop a plan to improve non-motorized transportation in priority areas. It has come to our attention that a few years ago the YWCA conducted and developed a Walkability plan for Woonsocket and that parts of that plan has been integrated into the

CM Lantz called this evening at approx 2130 hours. She was concerned about some information she received from Lincoln Park residents regarding calls for service they were trying to make with the PD. According to CM Lantz some residents were bothered that upon contacting dispatch, they seemed reluctant to take information about possible transients being in the park after dark. I contacted dispatch and they received a total of 2 calls regarding transients in the park after dark and calls for service were generated. One of the dispatchers informed me that he was informing residents about some of the new laws regarding transients which seemed to anger the caller. I spoke with Dispatch Supervisor Larry Raines and asked that he inform dispatch to take the call and allow the officers who respond to the call to handle the matter.

According to http://www.mghpcs.org/eed_portal/Documents/PatExp/What_is_HCAHPS.pdf, the Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (known as HCAHPS) is ‘the first national, standardized, and publicly reported survey of patients' perspectives of hospital care administered by MGH. This patient satisfaction assessment is required by CMS (the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services) for all hospitals in the United States. The Survey is for adult inpatients, excluding psychiatric patients. This assessment is ordered to a random sample of adult patients across medical conditions between forty-eight hours and six weeks following discharge’. It is conducted via mail, telephone, mail with telephone follow-up,

The area I chose from the HCAHPS survey for my final project is communication with nurses. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services explain there are three broad goals that shape the HCAHPS survey. One goal that stands out in relation to this topic is that the public reporting of the survey results is designed to create incentives for hospitals to improve their quality of care (“hcahpsonline.org,” 2015). As a nurse, you can make or break a patient's experience with one encounter. Communication is integral to the nurse-patient relationship and to deliver high-quality, compassionate care for patients. Developing rapport is vital to promote good patient care. When nurses communicate efficiently with interest, listen actively and demonstrate

Client A had her four month old baby removed from her care despite our best efforts at a 1027 hearing. It was alleged the baby had fractured ribs, and it was either the father or mother so charges were filed against both parents. The trial stretched out over several months and after cross examining the doctor who testified and putting the primary physician on the stand, the Court came back with a finding that our client did not abuse her daughter. Her daughter was immediately returned to her care. Client B is an immigrant who has been a client of HLAS for many years. At one stage, client B had all of her children removed from her care. She worked very hard to get all of her children back, and her two youngest were the last. The father of

Your post was well-written, clear, and thoughtfully addressed the concepts of HCZ in the case study. In reading your post, there was one of the commonalities that was similar to my discussion post such as the economic status. I support your statement about Canada's childhood dream became a reality. Indeed, his theory to save thousands of children became a support system for many people as mentioned in the case study. According to Grossman and Curran (2004), "Canada felt that to reach thousands of poor children in Harlem...setting up a seamless system of support from the moment of pregnancy to the time that child goes to college" would be the best practice of service delivery (p.1). In other words, Canada's goal was to change the children

In the first artifact, its purpose was to write a summary of the HCZ case study and used the Pearson resource to describe the major issues of the case. This student had to explain the characteristics of the case and examined the role of action scientist as it pertains to her doctoral degree in her specialization. She had to associate her critical analysis and used both qualitative and quantitative data to support her case in the HCZ summary. This activity has helped this learner to acquire the knowledge and skills needed to become a critical student as she continues to practice and execute what she has learned in this course.

The use of a team with a common project or problem leads to an action learning program which looks remarkably like action research.

The literature data gathered from the items collected will be recorded and categorized according to the learners’ needs – educational needs, such as mentorship or personal needs, such as transportation. The action research team will meet to discuss how learners’ needs have been met in the past and develop new ideas that meet learners’ needs by identifying resources that have been overlooked in the past.

Summary: Diana (2011), points out how a classroom-based research project can help one become an effective teacher leader. In this case, the author describes the action research as a solution that is a tried-and-true professional development tool. The action research tool can be used to systematically incorporate techniques used in the classroom such as; specific teaching methods, classroom management strategies, and assessment tools. Educators are continually being held accountable for positive student outcomes; they are using tools to help them make decisions through the use of evidence based practices and analyzing student data. As teachers graduate from college to take up their own classrooms, they need tools such as action research, to transform their practice into a viable one where their students are able to learn successfully (Diana, Summer 2011).
