Energy resource managers analyze human uses and impacts on resources and propose sound conservation practices. However, economic growth and societal expansion compete with resource conservation and restrictions. Resource usage, conservation, and preservation need to be balanced in order to promote sustainability. Visit the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) to learn how energy (nuclear, solar, wind, etc.) in your state is generated.

Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words:

• Describe one energy resource that is readily available in your community or state. What are the impacts and/or consequences of delivering it to your community? How do your actions impact the provision of this resource?

Research Paper

This final research paper must demonstrate the understanding of new learning in the field of project management and how it relates to the Project Management Maturity Model. This is an assignment with a length of 10 to 15 pages (not including title and reference pages) that should integrate the reading, multi-media and class discussion boards. It is mandatory to have research from the classroom text, as well as at least four sources from the internet or online library to support your views. A minimum of two of these sources must be from the Ashford Online Library.

Consider the validity of your resources carefully before using them in academic papers. It is recommended to use examples from your professional experience where possible, or build from your learning in the discussion boards. Use at least one project you have been a team member or a project manager as an example to discuss each of the following topics:

• The definition of the Project Management Maturity Model and how organizations can increase their overall productivity using the model. 
• The importance of organizational strategy and how project management needs to link to objectives to achieve results. 
• Project communication methods including who the stakeholders are and why they are important to the project manager.
• The use of project quality, including earned value analysis, and examples of successful and troubled projects.
• A conclusion to describe how the probability of success can be found with an organization that is able to reach maturity in terms of project management.

I like how you went further and included an NGO as an example. Organizations need each of these so that project managers have the mental and professional empowerment they need to execute well. You stated accurately that by having these aspects, both leaders and followers in the organization conducting various projects will have guidelines to base their decisions and make sound decisions.

According to the Council on Social Work Education, Competency 4: Engage In Practice-informed Research and Research-informed Practice:

Social workers understand quantitative and qualitative research methods and their respective roles in advancing a science of social work and in evaluating their practice. Social workers know the principles of logic, scientific inquiry, and culturally informed and ethical approaches to building knowledge. Social workers understand that evidence that informs practice derives from multi-disciplinary sources and multiple ways of knowing. They also understand the processes for translating research findings into effective practice. Social workers:

• Use practice experience and theory to inform scientific inquiry and research;
• Apply critical thinking to engage in analysis of quantitative and qualitative research methods and research findings; and
• Use and translate research evidence to inform and improve practice, policy, and service delivery.

This assignment is intended to help students demonstrate the behavioral components of this competency in their field education.

To Prepare: Meet with your Field Instructor. During the meeting, you are expected to assess the population(s) served by the agency. After meeting with the Field Instructor, conduct extensive research regarding the agency’s client population. You will be expected to use at least 5 peer-reviewed resources. The purpose of the research is to discover “evidenced based practices” that are most effective while working with clients served within the population. If the agency serves more than one population, select one sub-population within the agency to conduct the review.

The Assignment: Create a 10-12 slide PowerPoint Presentation, where you will explain the following:

1. Population researched
2. Best evidenced based practices modalities used to engage the population
3. Current modalities used in the agency
4. Briefly discuss and suggest to methods of implementing evidence-based practices in the agency
5. Analyze the findings from the articles you researched

Note: You are expected to use a minimum of five references.

Consider developing these goals with a mentee.  It is important to identify areas that could use coaching or mentoring techniques in order to complete your implementation plan. Short-term goals must reflect the next 6 months and long-term goals must reflect 6 months to 2 years.

Over 72 million Americans are currently covered by Medicaid (along with coverage by the SCHIP programs), which makes Medicaid the single-largest source of health insurance coverage in the United States. Depending on income, children, pregnant women, parents, senior citizens, and individuals with certain disabilities are able to access the health care system for needed services. In this Case Assignment, benefits, eligibility, financing, and reimbursement levels will be examined – including how the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act impacted the program. How do the economics of Medicare reimbursement levels vs. private insurance reimbursement levels affect health care systems and providers?

Case Assignment

Using the information in the required readings, as well as some additional research in peer-reviewed sources, complete your Case assignment by answering the following:

1. Examine the benefits and eligibility of the Medicaid program. Who can be covered, and what are the specific income restrictions when qualifying via financial status? How did the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act change the income determination methodology?
2. Describe how the Medicaid program is financed. How much do the individual states (including your home state) contribute?
3. Determine how the average Medicaid reimbursement level specifically compares to the average reimbursement for private insurance. How can these reimbursement levels affect the bottom line at your facility?

Assignment Expectations

1. Conduct additional research to gather sufficient information to support your analysis.
2. Provide a response of 3-5 pages, not including title page and references
3. There are multiple required items to be addressed herein; please use subheadings to show where you are responding to each required item and to ensure that none are omitted.
