• Jones argues that:
e. Issue(s) (The issue relevant to the subjects studied in the module in which it is assigned, e.g. Were Jones’ rights under the First Amendment violated when he was fired for speaking at a political rally?)
f. Decision (How did the court rule on that issue?)
g. Reasoning (Why did the court rule the way it did? This is the most important part of the case.)

Health Equity, Health Disparity, And Health Inequality
One of the most basic principles of public health is that all people have a right to health. Unfortunately, a right to health does not guarantee good health or equivalent health status amongst people. Although the term “disparities” is often interpreted to mean racial or ethnic disparities, many dimensions of disparities exist in the United States, particularly in health. If a health outcome is seen in a greater or lesser extent between populations, there is disparity. Race, ethnicity, sex, sexual identity, age, disability, socioeconomic status, and geographic location all contribute to an individual’s ability to achieve good health.
The purpose of this assignment is to consider the historic background of health disparities. You will also relate this history to the current state of healthcare, changes that have occurred over time and changes that are still needed in public health.
Using online scholarly library resources, and the Internet, respond to the following:
- Examine the differences between health equity, health disparity, and health inequality, using examples and scholarly references for support.
- Review the article (attached) and answer the question that follows:
- What aspects of the article do you think are still applicable in health services today and which do you think are not?
Support your statements with appropriate examples and scholarly references.
Write your initial response in approximately 200 words. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.
CIS 458 Business Process Management
Course Title: Business Process Management
Course Description:
Introduces key concepts and approaches to business process management and improvement. Examines how to identify, document, model, assess, and improve core business processes. Hands-on experience with SAP ERP software. Prerequisite(s): CIS 300 and CIS 325.
Prerequisite Courses: CIS 300 Foundations of Information Systems and CIS 325 Systems Analysis and Design
Course Overview Enterprise systems are becoming more and more common in businesses around the world. Enterprise systems (ES) can be defined as large-scale application software packages that support an entire organization. ES support business processes, information flows, reporting and data analytics for the organization. It is becoming increasingly important for students to develop a more process-centric perspective (as opposed to a functional perspective) that reflects the realities of the modern business environment. By definition, Information Systems (IS) professionals utilize technology to solve an organization’s business problems. Therefore, understanding the integration of business processes and how data flows through an organization is critical for the practicing IS professional. You will get hands on experience with integrated business processes with the world’s largest enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, SAP ERP, in a virtual lab environment. Real-world exposure to SAP increases the student’s ability to integrate knowledge across business disciplines and build a firmer grasp of integrated business processes. You will be able to apply the real-world concepts presented in this course immediately upon entering the workforce and will be better prepared to succeed in your career.
Course Outcomes: Upon completion of this course, learners should be able to:
• Describe key business processes in an organization • Explain the role of enterprise systems in supporting business processes • Describe the organizational data related to financial accounting • Effectively use SAP ERP to execute key steps and extract meaningful information in the
procurement, fulfillment, production, and material planning processes • Demonstrate how inventory and warehouse management processes are integrated with
other processes

Behavioral Health Response to Disasters
. Behavioral Health Response to Disasters, Author: Framingham, Julie:
Forum Assignment for the Week: 300 Words minimum For this week’s Forum, respond to the following: On September 11th, 2001, the United States was the target of terrorists, suffering mass casualties, including thousands of lives lost as an immediate result of the terrorist attacks and many more to follow for years to come. Casualties not often thought of immediately are the psychological casualties of such an event, particularly those who may not have been involved in the tragic events first hand. However, Hoffman and Kruczek (2011) share a perspective worth considering in the discussion of the effects of terrorism, highlighting random survey results that indicated media exposure to the terrorist attacks revealing endorsements of PTSD by about half of surveyed adults, with one third restricting television access due to the traumatic nature of the event.
· Considering the materials for the week, share your thoughts on the effect of media exposure to images from terrorist events. Should these be viewed as the new normal?
· Do significant concerns related to the psychosocial development and functioning and potential of adverse reactions, such as the development of PTSD, exist with these types of indirect exposures to terrorist events?
Remember to respond to at least three classmates during the week in the discussion forum.

***Your post must also end with a “Question to the Class” – something related to the topic that you found thought-provoking and about which you’d like to know more and have further dialog. ***
General Instructions Applicable to All Forums:
Forum post source citation is not required for forum posting in our class. This is because we are engaging in conversation that happens to be in writing form, not composing essays or research papers. You will, however, need to paraphrase (restate in your own words) any words of published authors in parts of your posts that are based on their work. Copying of published material, which is plagiarism, is prohibited and any instances of it, including forum posts, will result in a zero score without an option for re-submission to recoup lost points and a report sent to the Registrar’s Office per University policy.
Discussion forum posts will be graded on verbal expression, critical thinking, making an effort to not just participate in but contribute to the dialog with initial and reply posts of a substantive nature commensurate with graduate level studies. Posts must have correct grammatical construction, spelling, and punctuation with no texting or other casual style language.
