Good organization also involves the ability of a speaker to transition from one main idea to the other in a way that ensures a smooth flow of the speech. An organized speech is also crucial as it helps in the delivery of information and also avoids confusion. An organized speaker whose speech starts with main points which are well structured uses transition tools, and follows a logical pattern is provides information to the audience better than an unorganized public speaker.

If so, who might be involved in considering the policy change? (i.e., individuals, departments, committees). Yes, it has. M-health presents multiple advantages in healthcare. However, not all that glitters is gold. It has a diverse effect on various divisions within healthcare, and these include financial issues, changes in workflow, temporary loss of productivity associated with m-health adoption, privacy and security concerns, among others (MINGUEL & NIEZEN, 2016).

Credit Rating Agencies                                             Quantitative and Qualitative Credit In the recent past, credit rating has become a significant aspect in the financial industry where credit ratings such as Moody’s plays invaluable roles in providing the investors with information about where to invest securities and debts and where not to invest. When financial institutions are evaluating the risk levels that are associated with the issuance of the bonds, they will look at the credit firms from various credit rating agencies. Many investors tend to look for a tradeoff between risk and return on their investments, which means that they would typically go for a higher coupon rate for the bonds that have a poor credit rating.
