The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) uses the social vulnerability index (SVI) to evaluate the impact of disasters on communities, weighting the damage with social factors in the states of South Dakota and Indiana (CDC, 2018a; CDC 2018b).X

Each community requires independent evaluation to identify the vulnerability of the area. Two of the contributing factors for this analysis are minority status and language limitations. The data may lack credibility due to the fear of reprisal for persons that fall into these categories. Exploring the social and physical characteristics, excluding these metrics can provide insight on the overall impact on the SVI.

Question 1: What impact does the exclusion of the metrics that represent minorities and language limited individuals have on the predictability of the CDC’s SVI, based on the 2018 data (CDC, 2018a; CDC, 2018b)?

Question 2: Does the CDC’s SVI have key characteristics that impact the preclude potential exclusion without limiting the overall predictability of the SVI, based on the 2018 data (CDC, 2018a; CDC, 2018b)?

Systems Thinking Project Milestone using microsoft visio

by Uncategorized

 

  1. Define the following systems-thinking concepts in your own words:
    1. Systems thinking
    2. Collection
    3. Feedback loop
    4. Stock and flow diagram
    5. Causal loop diagram
  2. The following scenario describes the system used for fulfilling an online order at Lost Pines Outfitters, a medium-sized outdoor clothing store. Read this scenario and create a basic map of the system using Microsoft Visio.

  3. Once you have mapped this system, you will map relationships contained within the system. First, identify relationships within your system diagram that represent feedback loops, and represent those loops within your model. Then, identify a relationship within the system that could be modeled with a stock and flow or causal loop diagram, and model that diagram in Visio. 

4.Compose a brief, 250- to 500-word summary of the given system, as well as the relationships present in this system. In your summary, describe the system, feedback loops, and other archetypes you identified within the system.

Final Project

Overview:

In the meeting with your executives, your CEO announced that you would need to

prepare a PowerPoint presentation of your department achievements for the last quarter

and present it in front of the hospital’s board of trustees who will be visiting your hospital

by the end of the month.

Instructions:

Based on that information, your IT Director asked you to prepare a 12-15-page

PowerPoint presentation which will take a fifteen-minute time slot where you discuss the

following:

• As you have opted for Windows-based computers, what are the significant

differences between a Mac and a Windows-based computer?

• What are the main differences between the leading operating systems: Windows,

Mac OS, and Linux?

• What are the measures that you are taking to keep computers safe and to avoid

health hazards from computer use?

• Is the hospital safe and immune from online annoyances such as spam and

adware? How can you further secure your system from malware?

• The advantages of your recent implementation of VoIP?

• Describe the improvements you have implemented in the hospital’s customer

relationship management (CRM) and how are you managing your relationship

with your vendors.

• Discuss whether the adoption of a medical expert system could be beneficial to

the doctors at your Hospital.

• Describe how social media can be effectively used as part of the hospital’s web

strategies and improve its position in the market?

Requirements:

• This assignment is a PowerPoint presentation consisting of 12-15 slides, using

APA formatting and citations.

• Include four references.

• Record voice narration and include closed captioning or script saved to the notes

in PowerPoint.
