Overview

Medical Office Assistants (MOAs) juggle many tasks in their day-to-day professions. They may be responsible for doctors’ schedules, maintenance of health records, billing, answering phones, and many other tasks. A successful MOA will be able to prioritize and get multiple tasks done each day while providing excellent care to patients.

The purpose of this paper is to help you find strategies that will help you prioritize, manage your time wisely, and multi-task a variety of responsibilities in your current or future roles as a medical office assistant.

Instructions

For this assignment, you will write a 3–4-page research-based paper (1,100–1,500 word count). The title page, abstract, and reference page do not count as part of the 3–4 pages.

The paper must be formatted in current APA style and must include a title page, abstract, and reference page formatted using current APA style.

The paper will focus on the need for multi-tasking and its importance in a medical office. It must also include strategies for successful multi-tasking for an MOA in the office. Discuss how these strategies will help the MOA to navigate through the systems while providing excellent customer service to his/her patients.

The paper must include at least 3 scholarly references in addition to the course textbook and the Bible, making for a total of 5 references. (Do not use wikipedia.com or dictionary.com).

While the implementation plan prepares students to apply their   research to the problem or issue they have identified for their   capstone change proposal project, the literature review enables   students to map out and move into the active planning and development   stages of the project.

A literature review analyzes how current research supports the   PICOT, as well as identifies what is known and what is not known in   the evidence. Students will use the information from the earlier PICOT   Statement Paper and Literature Evaluation Table assignments to develop   a 750-1,000 word review that includes the following sections:

1. Title page
2. Introduction section
3. A comparison     of research questions
4. A comparison of sample   populations
5. A comparison of the limitations of the study
6. A conclusion section, incorporating recommendations for further   research

Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA   Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.

This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to   beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for   successful completion.

Instructions

Many people get all or most of their news from social media. For this project, we are going to be analyzing the content of several social media sites from major news sources, paying particular attention to social media standards, practices, and regulation.

Where do you get your news? Start by going to one major news site’s FACEBOOK page (CNN, MSNBC, FOX, etc.) Try another different news site’s TWITTER feed, and third choose another social media site such as Reddit, Pinterest, or another (preferably one you use, if there is one).

Analyze the sites in a 3-5 page total paper. In your analysis, be sure to include the following:

• General introduction to your thoughts on the social media you studied
• Several social media practices you observed (e.g., what gets the most interaction?)
• Examples of regulation of social media and discussion of such regulation (Is it good, bad, or indifferent? How could circumstances change the situation?)
• Analysis of ethical concerns (e.g., can you see examples of bias?)
• What is the culture of each site – how do users seem to respond to questionable items? (Is racism or open mocking ignored or pursued?)
• Conclusion of your findings

In this assignment, students will pull together the change proposal   project components they have been working on throughout the course to   create a proposal inclusive of sections for each content focus area in   the course. At the conclusion of this project, the student will be   able to apply evidence-based research steps and processes required as   the foundation to address a clinically oriented problem or issue in   future practice.

Students will develop a 1,250-1,500 word paper that includes the   following information as it applies to the problem, issue, suggestion,   initiative, or educational need profiled in the capstone change proposal:

1. Background
2. Problem statement
3. Purpose of the     change proposal
4. PICOT
5. Literature search strategy   employed
6. Evaluation of the literature
7. Applicable     change or nursing theory utilized
8. Proposed implementation     plan with outcome measures
9. Identification of potential     barriers to plan implementation, and a discussion of how these could     be overcome
10. Appendix section, if tables, graphs, surveys,     educational materials, etc. are created

Review the feedback from your instructor on the Topic 3 assignment,   PICOT Statement Paper, and Topic 6 assignment, Literature Review. Use   the feedback to make appropriate revisions to the portfolio components   before submitting.

Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA   Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.
