Select a tool to visually display your data or select a diagram that visually identifies the root cause of a problem and generates possible solutions. Your choice will depend on the topic of your project; select a tool or a diagram, not both.
Your project should either (1) include a quality improvement visual tool, such as a cause-and-effect (or “fishbone”) diagram or a process flowchart, or (2) display how the data will be visually represented, such as in a histogram or a scatter diagram. The following provides some information and documents that provide detailed instructions for each tool:
Cause-and-effect/fishbone diagram (Word)Links to an external site.: This organizational tool helps display and then explore causes contributing to certain effects or outcomes. It graphically displays the relationship of the causes to the effects, as well as to each other, which then helps identify areas for improvement.
Flowchart (Word)Links to an external site.: A flowchart represents the steps in a process. It also identifies points in the process where decisions need to be made. Understanding the process helps identify problems, focus discussions, and identify resources.
Histogram (Word)Links to an external site.: A histogram can display the variation in continuous data such as time, weight, size, or temperature. It can help with recognizing and analyzing data that are not apparent when looking at a table of data and with calculating the average or median.
Scatter diagram (Word)Links to an external site.: This graph represents the relationship between two variables. Scatter diagrams can help identify cause-and-effect relationships. If two variables are related, the data points will fall along a diagonal line or curve in a positive or negative correlation.
After you have identified which you want to use for your project, because you have no data, create either a fishbone diagram or a flowchart for your QI project.
What to Submit
Your fishbone diagram or flowchart
You cn choose which one to submit with the 4 I provided.

Think about your current organization and practice setting as you complete the organizational self-assessment. Review each question and indicate a rating of 1 (low) to 5 (high) or “Do not know.”
Write a paper in Microsoft Word no more than five pages long (not counting the cover page, references, and appendix), double-spaced, using APA format, including at least two references. Include the completed self-assessment as an appendix.
Answer the following questions based on your self-assessment:
What does being a “5” on the questions mean to you (or the organization)?
How would your organization know it is at a “5”?
What would it take for your organization to rate itself at a “5” consistently?
For questions answered with “Do not know,” address the following:
Why don’t organizations know this?
How can they find out?
Why is it important to find out?
Summarize your findings and discuss the next steps:
What is most important for your organization to address?
How can you and/or your organization gain more patient and family input on what to focus on next?
What to Submit
Your paper including at least two references and the completed self-assessment as an appendix, in Microsoft Word
If you copy and paste references from the course into your assignment, be sure to confirm APA formatting before submitting.

Read the articles How Photoshop Changed The World and Restricted Visions of Multiracial Identity in Advertising
Search online for two advertisements: 1) one that depicts a stereotype and 2) one that you believe might cross ethical guidelines due to altering the image.
These advertisements can be from anywhere, but you must be able to submit a link directly to the advertisement image within your paper or insert the image itself in within your Microsoft Word submission.
Using the two advertisements you have chosen to analyze, answer the following questions in a 2-3 page paper (Note: including your images in the paper does not count towards the content requirement.):
What type of stereotype did you identify in the first ad you chose to analyze? How could the depiction of this stereotype be harmful?
What ethical concerns did you find in your second advertisement with retouched/altered images?
What role does the use of stereotypical visual images play in social perceptions? What role does the use of retouched/altered images play in social perceptions?
What would you change about both of these advertisements to more ethically and accurately portray the images used?
Submit your paper in Microsoft Word format.
