Project #2
Project #2: Digital Poster
100 points, 25% Course Grade
Assignment Prompt
Research results are intended to be shared. One way this is done in academia is at conferences through poster sessions. Another way might be a webpage for an organization. Both methods use a combination of text and images to convey a message.
Task
Using your topic from Project #1, you will compose a digital poster that effectively makes and supports a claim to an audience.
Audience
You are going to construct your own audience, but should consider designing the poster in alignment with presentation styles within your discipline. Your audience may be those at a conference in your major or field of interest or an interdisciplinary audience, or it may be a non-academic audience that might benefit from your work. You are required to select and outline your audience. If you elect to “present” to an audience at a conference within your major/field, you should identify the conference and who attends that conference. If you select a non-academic audience, you’ll need to provide a list of specific attributes that might cause you to design your poster a specific way (background knowledge, etc.)
Delivery
Your digital poster may take the form of an infographic, a website, a slideshow, video or any other pre-approved digital format that allows for the combination of multiple types of composing (alphabetic text, audio, video, images). Consider reviewing this list for possible technologies to use. You will select your own delivery method and digital tools, and present them in a proposal for this project. Regardless of which delivery method you choose, it should be thoughtfully selected. It should also consider that this poster should be understandable without a presentation, but also benefit from a presentation.
Textual Requirements: There is not a specific word count, but the text of your poster should be easily read and understood. It should be clear, concise, and necessary for your rhetorical situation. You will need to consider font family, size, style, and color.
Image/Audio/Video Requirements: Your poster may use images, audio, and or/video in addition to text. These elements should clearly connected to the claim/evidence of the poster and should work with the text to make that claim and provide the necessary support. When selecting and incorporating these elements, be sure to include pieces that are necessary for the rhetorical situation.
*Please see “Grading Criteria” at the end of this prompt for the exact rubric that will be used to determine your grade.*
Conventions
Your images and text should all have citations that accompany them. For an infographic, this might be a separate references sheet with in-text citations; for a website this might be a references page with in-text citations; for slides, this might be a references slide with in-text citations. Remember that all material used that was not generated by you needs a citation. All posters should be accessible.

the future of healthcare management
Prospects and Challenges facing HealthCare Management in Future
Name
Title of Course
Instructor Name

In developed nations, the health sector covers for about 8% to about 15% of their economy; this makes it one of the leading industries in any state.1 In most of these nations at least one out of ten workers is employed in the healthcare sector meaning almost everyone has a family member working in the sector either as nurses, doctors, managers, engineers or even caretakers. This paper studies the challenges that would face the health care management in the near future by paving ways so as to develop elaborate practices of the managers in the health systems, those studying post graduate health programs as well as those in the health organizations.
Experiencing leadership challenges and opportunities is a way of teaching management and assuring that education connections remain significant and to ensure that the appropriate skills are acquired fully. Nonetheless, most successful administrators are aware of the impact and power they hold on others especially their juniors. The managers watch out for their actions, habits, actions and behaviors. All they do has a strong impact to the organization as well as individuals surrounding them. Such challenges include shortage in skilled labor force, healthcare financing and effective user involvement advances in medical research. Due to this, such impacts enable them to review and analyze their level of practice and set a perfect example, which is based on the rightful concepts, theories and models. 2
Healthcare financing, over the next years, will experience some form of reconfiguration due to the increasing costs, which will be experienced as the changes take effect. At the moment, the public sector is the major financier of health expenses by about 80% with an average of 4% being financed through the health insurance schemes. 3 This plays a huge part in pressuring for more funds from the individual country governments and other organizations. The existence of Global Economic Recession is worsening the situation because, in spite of how much the individual governments or international organizations try to contribute; the demand for money will always be there. Based on this, it will lead to the rule of priority and rationing for the services to be issued in healthcare by many countries.
In the future decades, there will be an inevitable systematic advancing and far reaching in medical science including heart diseases, cancer, computerized surgical operations and the cure for HIV/AIDS. The cost of financing medical research may escalate since several industrialized nations tend to acquire sophisticated technological equipments so as to control some of the diseases like cancer, which affect the ageing population. With complex diseases requiring maximum attention, this means extra funds spent on them during their last days. This is not the case in third world nations where the demographic challenge is getting higher due to lack of exercise, drug use and unhealthy food intake.4
The pace of technology is another challenge that the healthcare management will encounter in future. It is closely related to the demographic challenge because it involves the ability to control the chronic disease with the advanced technology innovations. Technology innovations touch all areas including diagnostics, therapies, and surgery making prolonging life more possible. Technological innovations give rise to new ways of managing, controlling and curing chronic diseases.5 In addition; these innovations will provide a way to slow the progression pace of diseases. This means that the new ways will be extremely expensive and technological innovations offer both challenges and opportunities.
In summary the future of healthcare systems might be in good hands if only our future leaders and managers incorporate theory and practice. Most of the future challenges meant for healthcare management contribute to the rising of costs in health care services. If only we are capable of finding a way to analyze the future challenges and trends that face the healthcare management sector, then we will be able to solve nearly all of the future problems. Lack of perfect perception when it comes to the need for an efficient and right health resource management creates another challenge to the future of healthcare management. The only way individuals can be able to reduce the challenges and ensuring sustainable management is through providing a broader point of view to all the health care systems.
