Question 7
Who performs the updates to policies and procedures?
In your own words, ( not an answer from the same question on chegg) Select one issue from the Transitional Care scenario in the Allied Health Community and write a new policy and procedure related to the issue. Write a 500-word memo to your supervisor that describes this issue and an explanation of how the new policy and procedure will resolve the issue. In the memo, include a draft of the policy and procedure. Be sure to include the research on industry standards that helped you formulate the policy and procedure.
Scenario: As the Director of Human Resources at a transitional health care organization, you are charged with the overall administration of over 700 health care professional employees. This transitional health care organization is currently celebrating its 40th year in the community and serves as a model organization envied by local competitors. As the Director of Human Resources, you are responsible for hiring, orientation, training and development, compensation and benefits, and employee relations. Given the long existence of the organization, there have been many instances where management has been tasked with creating or modifying the company personnel policies and procedures. You have recently met with the CEO regarding some topics related to human resources, including the concern that the facility is experiencing some complaints regarding management, especially in the area of employee-related adverse actions. Some employees complain that they are being unfairly singled out for corrective actions and progressive discipline. They claim that current policies are being unfairly administered and some of the policies are out of date. Additionally, there have been too many medication errors and harmful patient treatments by the nursing staff that have resulted in nursing management creating new policies and procedures in an effort to fix immediate issues. The CEO has directed you to resolve these issues. Given the above scenario, respond to each question with and include references to support your proposed solution.

Create a class Mammal with the following UML
diagrams:
+---------------------------------+
| Mammal |
+---------------------------------+
| - name: String |
+---------------------------------+
| + Mammal(String name) |
| + getName(): String |
| + isCookable(): boolean |
| + testMammal(): void | (this method is static
)
+---------------------------------+
The isCookable method of the
Mammal class returns a boolean indicating whether
the mammal can be cooked or not: some mammals can be cooked and
some mammals cannot be cooked so for safety reasons the
isCookable method just prints a message
"Do not cook this!" and returns false (because the
isCookablemethod must return a boolean).
Add a class Human to your program. A human is a
mammal. The constructor for the Human class takes
no argument. All humans are named "Alice" and
humans cannot be cooked (the isCookable method
must not print any message though, it simply returns
false).
Add a class Rabbit to your program. A rabbit is a
mammal. The Rabbit class has a private instance
variable weight of type double
that describes the weight of the rabbit, and a
getWeight method. The constructor for the
Rabbit class takes the rabbit’s name and the
rabbit’s weight as arguments. A rabbit can be cooked.
Add a class EuropeanRabbit to your program.
European rabbit is a species of rabbit. The
EuropeanRabbitclass has two constructors: the
first constructor takes the European rabbit’s name and the European
rabbit’s weight as arguments; the second constructor only takes the
European rabbit’s name as argument and always uses
2.0 as the European rabbit’s weight. The second
constructor must use the first constructor.
Add a class LapinSautéChasseur to your program.
Lapin sauté chasseur is a kind of European rabbit. The constructor
for the LapinSautéChasseur class takes no
argument. Lapin sauté chasseur is always named
"Delicious" and has a weight of 0.5.
Add a class FrankTheRabbit to your program. Frank
The Rabbit is a kind of rabbit. The constructor for
theFrankTheRabbit class takes no argument. Frank
The Rabbit is always named "Frank", has a weight
of 100.0, and cannot be cooked.
Add a class Start to your program to test all your
classes.
Question 2
Add a class CastIronPot to your program with the
following UML diagram:
+---------------------------------+
| CastIronPot |
+---------------------------------+
| - rabbit: Rabbit |
+---------------------------------+
| + CastIronPot(Rabbit rabbit) |
| + getRabbit(): Rabbit |
| + testCastIronPot(): void |(this method is
static)
+---------------------------------+
In the testCastIronPot method, create a lapin
sauté chasseur called lsc1, then create a cast
iron pot with this lapin sauté chasseur in it. Then get the lapin
sauté chasseur from the cast iron pot and store it into a local
variable called lsc2 of type
LapinSautéChasseur. Use the == operator to check
that lsc1 and lsc2 are the same
lapin sauté chasseur.

Hi! Can someone summarize what the reaction article is saying? I am having trouble understanding it.
The purpose of this experiment was to investigate the catalytic performance of solid acid catalyst developed from modification of coal combustion fly ash to synthesize methyl 4-aminobenzoate (MAB) by Fischer esterification between 4-aminobenzoic acid and methanol. Upon acid modification of fly ash, surface acidity of solid acid catalyst (SAC) is greatly enhanced as a result of increased surface area, augmented silica content, and fabricated phosphates. The proposed mechanism, similar to our lab, demonstrates that the surface acid sites of solid acid catalyst (SAC) initiate the reaction by donating proton to 4-aminobenzoic acid, resulting in the formation of carbocation, which is then attacked by the electron-rich oxygen atom of methanol. Subsequent loss of water and deprotonation resulted in the formation of the desired product, MAB. Recyclability study reveals that the solid acid catalyst (SAC) retains similar catalytic activity till the fifth reaction cycle furnishing the yield of methyl 4-aminobenzoate in the range 82–98% This unveils that the acidity remains unaffected during regeneration of the catalyst. This eco-friendly, highly efficient, and low-cost solid acid catalyst system may be used as a replacement of harmful traditional liquid acids for important reactions in pharmaceutical industries to synthesize indispensable drugs.

Cooperative Research Ethics Review Boards: A Win-Win Solution?
Enhancing public participation in research is one of the central challenges facing the clinical research enterprise in the United States, and one of its highest priorities.[1] Public concern about the safety of participating in research is increasing, reflected in a rising tide of litigation, negative articles in the popular press, and other published commentaries.[2] Part of this concern focuses on Research Ethics Review Boards (Research ERBs)the entities responsible for ethical review and oversight of human research. These bodies, referred to in federal regulations as Institutional Review Boards (IRBs), are overburdened and often characterized as inefficient and ineffective.[3] The increasing number of multi-center studies is exacerbating current problems, as they often require duplicative reviews.[4] Multiple submissions of a single protocol and its associated consent documents to several Research ERBs for review and alterations create redundancy without necessarily enhancing the protection of research subjects.[5]
Many parties, including the Institute of Medicine (IOM), the National Bioethics Advisory Commission (NBAC), and the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), note that these duplicative reviews can actually detract from subject protections by diverting time and resources from more effective uses; they have suggested streamlining review through the use of alternative models.[6] Collaborative approaches to ethical review that capture the best of both central and local processes could be more efficient, less costly and less demanding of limited resources, and also be more effective. They may allow for more timely data collection and analysis of adverse events, address the problem of institutional conflict of interest, and offer more options for unaffiliated investigators and patients with rare diseases.[7]
Central review boards have taken on increasing importance in recent years. Reference to a "central IRB" does not necessarily mean that one Research ERB is always the IRB of record; use of the term "cooperative review" may more accurately reflect the emerging approaches discussed in this article. In a survey by the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) of research deans at institutions using a Central IRB (defined as any noninstitutional board or cooperative arrangement), 53% agreed that its use shortened time to approval of research protocols. Eighty-four percent were pleased with the Central IRB review, and 77% indicated that they were able to maintain excellent local oversight of studies approved by a Central IRB.[8] Notably, some highly respected academic institutions have turned to well-established commercial review boards after deficiencies in their local boards and processes resulted in significant enforcement actions by federal regulatory agencies. One of these private boards was among the first human research protection programs (HRPP) to receive full accreditation by the Association for Accreditation of Human Research Protection Programs (AAHRPP); the Partnership for Human Research Protection (PHRP) also has accredited independent review boards.
Many institutions are hesitant to use cooperative review mechanisms for a variety of reasons. According to the AAMC survey, those who have not used Central IRBs (76% of respondents) did not do so because of concerns about liability (73%), additional costs (60%), the absence of local representation (86%), and the inability to assess the quality of the services (56%). Federal regulations require that research review boards have "sensitivity to such issues as community attitudes,"[9]and many institutions feel that local review is an essential component of ethical research; to what extent this view also reflects a desire to maintain institutional autonomy is unknown. Both the Office for Human Research Protections (OHRP) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have responded to the increasing number of multi-center trials by clarifying that existing regulations permit institutions to use joint review, rely on another qualified IRB, or make similar arrangements to avoid duplication of effort for cooperative research.[10] OHRP and FDA also have issued further guidance that clarifies the implementation of such arrangements to ensure that the local context is taken into account.[11]
Already, some academic organizations and the National Cancer Institute (NCI) are utilizing cooperative models to streamline the Research ERB review process. To explore the potential of these emerging ethical review mechanisms, the Clinical Research Roundtable of the IOM recently convened stakeholders in the clinical research enterprise to hear from those involved in these efforts.[12] In this paper, we describe several models of cooperative review, many of which were presented at the meeting. These models include the Multicenter Academic Clinical Research Organization (MACRO), the Biomedical Research Alliance of New York (BRANY), independent Research ERBs, the NCI's Central IRB, and Regional Ethics Organizations (REOs). Many of these models are in the formative stages, and REOs, which are now utilized in the United Kingdom, do not exist in the U.S. at this time.[13] Therefore, key evaluative data regarding existing central review mechanisms are not presently available; indeed, more data are needed to assess both traditional and cooperative review mechanisms and to more fully and scientifically compare these options. Our assessment is based upon the best available data about these efforts. Key issues about centralized review relate to perceived legal liability by cooperating academic institutions regarding the ability to fully reflect and address local concerns.
