ANSWER:
This week will be an opportunity to share ideas and approaches to the Excel course project. What are some spreadsheet features you will use to make your spreadsheet professional, readable, reliable, and repeatable? Which spreadsheet functions and data analysis types do you think will be the most challenging to implement in this project? What questions do you have about those functions and types of data analysis?
COMMENT:
Some spreadsheet features that I will be using for the project would be the bar charts, pivot tables and pie charts. Some spreadsheet function that I will be using is the IF function, common math function such as =b7/b8 and SUM function. I don’t think there would be many functions that will be difficult because some of the functions that might be used are in some of our previous ilabs so it wouldn’t be that difficult.
COMMENT:
Some of the tools I will basically use in my project are; consolidation, various calculations steps, coloring, chart types, conditional formatting, filtering, sorting, and the mail merging feature. With the use of the mail merging feature and various chart types, it will be easier for me to summarize the data or details since it is very large. As regards, I may use the pivot table first since it is the most fitting Excel tool that can be used to summarize and organize large amounts of details or data in such a way that it can be much easy to understand or readable by audiences. Added to that, I will use the coloring and filtering features in various steps so that the presentation or project will look just more unique. One challenging step I might encounter difficulty with is the process of importing or bringing all the details from the Microsoft txt format to the Excel spreadsheet. Verily, without the details in the txt format, it will be challenging to calculate for the various items or details.

2010 Health Care Reform Bill Impact Review
[Pin It]
Plagiarism Free, APA Style, Three or more references.
Need back on Sunday August 16, 2015 at 5pm Central time
Write a paper (1,285 words) that describes the roles and responsibilities of health care management in addressing this pressing dilemma. Apply the following questions to generate your conclusions about how you would proceed:
Scenario: Pursuant to the 2010 Health Care Reform Bill, the United States will be challenged to bring into its health care population some 32 million more patients. Formerly, many of these patients were uninsured. Some of these patients were seen and treated in safety-net hospitals, but mostly in emergency rooms. Reliable, independent studies have shown that this population is low income and is disproportionately made up of ethnic and racial minorities; however, it is important to point out that due to the economic downturn at the turn of the decade surrounding 2010, this 32 million will include a significant number of non-minority unemployed individuals. Consider that health care institutions must move beyond simply taking in and treating the sick and injured who come through the door. In the near future, the health of the community will be measured in terms of low disease burden, high vaccination rates, controlled chronic disease rates, healthier life styles, and a better educated public. Clearly, the impacts to the health care system will have to be addressed.
a) How do the considerations under the concept of governance apply?
b) What are the major financial issues being faced?
c) What are the major physical issues being faced?
d) What are the major demographic issues being faced?

Peer review: You should submit the first draft of your report to the Peer Review Discussion Forum by 11:59 p.m. Wednesday for peer review. You will be completing a review of another classmate’s report by 11:59 p.m. Sunday. Your grade for your peer review is given in your discussion grade this week. NOTE: You must use the Peer Review feedback form in Doc Sharing for this assignment.
Cover Letter Info
rts of formal documents are as follows:
1. Cover/title page
2. Letter or memo of transmittal
3. Table of contents
4. List of illustrations
5. Executive summary
6. Introduction
7. Discussion sections
8. Conclusions and recommendations
9. End material
See Model 10–3 (pp. 334–349) for an example of these navigational elements and for an example of guidelines that follow.
Cover/Title Page
Formal documents are usually bound, often with a standard cover used for all documents in the writer’s organization. (Reports prepared for college courses, however, are often placed in a simple report cover.) Because the cover is the first item seen by the reader, it should be attractive and informative. It usually contains the same four pieces of information mentioned in the following list with regard to the title page; sometimes it has only one or two of these items.
Inside the cover is the title page, which should include the following four pieces of information:
■ Project title (exactly as it appears on the letter/memo of transmittal)
■ Your client’s or recipient’s name (“Prepared for …”)
■ Your name and/or the name of your organization (“Prepared by …”)
■ Date of submission
To make your title page or cover distinctive, you might want to place a simple illustration on it; however, do not clutter the page. Use a visual only if it reinforces a main point and if it can be done simply and tastefully. For example, assume that M-Global, Inc., submitted a formal report to a city in Georgia, reporting the results of a study of water pollution. The report writer decided to place the picture of a creek on the title page, punctuating the report’s point about the water quality, as in Model 10–3 on page 334–349.
Letter/Memo of Transmittal
Letters or memos of transmittal are like an appetizer—they give the readers a taste of what is ahead. If your formal document is to readers outside your own organization, write a letter of transmittal. If it is to readers inside your organization, write a memo of transmittal. Figures 10–1 and 10–2 show examples of both. Use the following guidelines for constructing this part of your document:
Transmittal Guideline 1: Place the Letter/Memo Immediately after the Title Page
Figure 10–1 Memo of transmittal
This placement means that the letter/memo is bound with the document, to keep it from becoming separated. Some organizations paper-clip this letter or memo to the front of the document or simply include it in the envelope with the document, making 314315it a cover letter or memo. In so doing, however, they risk having it become separated from the document.
Figure 10–2 Letter of transmittal
Transmittal Guideline 2: Include a Major Point from Document
Remember that readers are heavily influenced by what they read first in documents. Therefore, take advantage of the position of this section by including a major finding, conclusion, or recommendation from the document—besides supplying necessary transmittal information.
315316
Transmittal Guideline 3: Acknowledge Those Who Helped You
Recognizing those who have been particularly helpful with your project gives them recognition and identifies you as a team player. It reflects well on you and on your organization. Figure 10–2 includes a thank you to members of the client’s organization.
Transmittal Guideline 4: Follow Letter and Memo Conventions
Like other letters and memos, letters and memos of transmittal should be easy to read, inviting readers into the rest of the document. Keep introductory and concluding paragraphs relatively short—no more than three to five lines each. Also, write in a conversational style, free of technical jargon and stuffy phrases such as “per your request” or “enclosed herewith.” See the models at the end of Chapter 6 for more details concerning letter/memo format. For now, here are some highlights about the mechanics of format:
Letters and Memos
■ Use single spacing and ragged-right-edge copy, even if the rest of the document is double-spaced and fully justified.
■ Use only one page.
Letters
■ Include company project number with the letter date.
■ Spell the reader’s name correctly.
■ Be sure the inside address includes the mailing address to appear on the envelope.
■ Use the reader’s last name (“Dear Mr. Jamison:”) in the salutation or attention line because of the formality of the document—unless your close association with the reader would make it more appropriate to use first names (“Dear Bill:”).
■ Usually include a project title. It is treated like a main heading. Use concise wording that matches wording on the title page.
■ Use “Sincerely” as your closing.
■ Include a line to indicate those who will receive copies of the document (“cc” or just “c” or “copy” for copy, “pc” for photocopy).
