The social evaluator uses various methods of social research for study, appraisal, and to help improve essential aspects of the plan (Rossi et al.). This situation includes the diagnosis of related social problems. In most instances, the policymakers who fund organizations, the managers of the programs, the taxpayers, and other interest parties tend to establish the effectiveness of an application. They have the interest to know how important such programs are. In so doing, they must find the answers to essential questions, including the nature and scope of the problem (this relates to the location and its effects on the society). Besides, they must evaluate whether the identified results justify the implementation of a new approach or to modify or expand the existing ones. Moreover, the evaluators must determine the best intervention that can be applied (Rossi et al.). Finally, the identified response should be that which reaches a large population, the cost and the…
What is a Workaround? A workaround is a behavior which circumvents and fixes a workflow block or an event temporarily. Workarounds are applied by health practitioners to solve problems and bypass emerging workflow blocks such as safety mechanisms and system or organizational issues, save time, or compensate inadequate technology (Tucker et al., 2020). An example of a Workaround Someone Else Used A nurse once used an app for transferring files to his device and exchanging his patient’s unencrypted records. The app made it possible for the nurse to share, access, as well as store patient information outside the health facility’s Information network. Why the Risk-Taking Behavior was Chosen over Behavior that Conforms to a Safety Culture The nurse used the workaround because the hospital’s information technology infrastructure made it hard for him to effectively perform his job. The hospital’s IT department had several login layers making it cumbersome to log into the system. The Risk of Using the Workaround The app posed the risk of confidentiality concerning the patient’s information, which can easily be breached because the personal device may…

It is clear that President Trump was lying when he noted during the state of the union address that he cared about Americans with pre-existing conditions. Besides, there is no evidence that he has tried ever to help this group of American people. Remarkably, Trump has been on the forefront to dismantle the Affordable Care Act (ACA) or “Obama care” since the time arrived in the White House (Palmer, 2020). Besides, the two bills in the Senate and failed that Trump supported did not include protection for children with pre-existing conditions. In this regard, this statement is meant to appeal to this group of people for support of his candidacy for president in the…
