Choose your favorite meal that contains at least one “bad” carbohydrate. Explain to the class what the “bad” carbohydrates are in this meal. How could you make substitutions to this meal to get rid of the “bad” carbohydrates and replace them with “good” carbohydrates? Be specific and include science references for support.
Be creative! You can include pictures of your before and after meals. Also, if you used a recipe, please link it so that your classmates can start building a healthy recipe library.
ANSWER
My favorite meal is pizza, but it is not the healthiest choice because of the white bread crust. White bread is made from refined grains, which have been stripped of their nutrients and fiber. This makes them easy to digest, which can lead to spikes in blood sugar levels. Additionally, white bread is often high in added sugar and unhealthy fats.
To make a healthier pizza, I would substitute the white bread crust for a whole-wheat crust. Whole grains are a good source of fiber and nutrients, and they digest more slowly than refined grains. This helps to regulate blood sugar levels and keep you feeling full longer.
Here is a recipe for a healthy pizza with a whole-wheat crust:
Ingredients:
1 whole-wheat pizza crust
1/4 cup tomato sauce
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup chopped vegetables (such as mushrooms, onions, peppers, or tomatoes)
1/4 cup cooked chicken or sausage (optional)
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Spread tomato sauce evenly over pizza crust.
Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese and vegetables.
Top with chicken or sausage (optional).
Bake in preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
This pizza is a healthier alternative to traditional pizza because it uses a whole-wheat crust and is lower in saturated fat and calories. Additionally, it is a good source of fiber and nutrients from the vegetables.

Discussion post #11
What are the key indicators of global climate change, according to NASA? And what evidence should be pointed out to climate skeptics?
How does global climate change reflect “negative externalities” and “Karl Polanyi’s Paradox” (as defined in GPCC)?
How do food exports from wealthy countries to poor countries hurt medium and small farmers in poor countries? What problems in general does corporate agribusiness cause? What are the present-day causes of suicide among family farmers?
What problems does “farming and biodiversity” address? What are its recommendations? How are these related to the “clean farming revolution” (sustainable farming/agroecology, as discussed last week)?
Describe either “the case of sugar” or “the story of beef” (in GPCC).
Post to Canvas: Post to Canvas: 250 word minimum for the entire assignment; no maximum word count. Display the word count at the end of your post. -50 points for non-submitted posts without an instructor-approved excuse.
Note: Zero points for the entire post if you cite Michael Polanyi’s Paradox instead of Karl Polanyi’s Paradox (as described in GPCC).

I need an evidence based practice, 2-3 page paper written using 3 sources that I will provide in APA format.

Health insurance fraud is a problem globally, and Saudi Arabia is not immune. Assume you have been tasked with presenting this problem to your healthcare organization so employees can act appropriately when processing health insurance claims. Be sure to address: Actions that would be considered fraudulent; Key indicators that fraud is present; The impact of fraud on the medical community, health insurance companies, and Saudi Arabia; and How to report health insurance fraud and penalties for those that participate in such behavior. Your paper should meet the following structural requirements: 5 pages with in-text citations from a minimum of 7 scholarly articles.

For your main post, choose either Topic 1 or Topic 2. Your main post must be at least 300 words in length and include 1 APA (7th Edition) reference to source published within the last 5 years and appropriate in-text citations.

The instructions cover the two article and letter assignments. You will address an issue related
to a specific legislative policy that affects healthcare in a written article that follows current APA
format that you would follow for a paper. Then, you will use your findings to compose a letter
that you could send to a legislator.
INSTRUCTIONS
The article must include the following:
 Description of the legislative policy with a negative or positive impact on healthcare or
public health
 Explanation of why the policy is harmful or helpful to healthcare and ultimately to the
delivery of quality patient care
 Impact of the policy from a cost perspective
 Recommendation(s) for policy revision or replacement
The article must be at least 400 words, cite at least 2 peer-reviewed journal articles for support,
integrate a biblical worldview, and follow current APA format. The article you write in modules
2 and 6 must address a different legislative policy.
In addition to the article, you will compose a letter for those concerned about the issue addressed
in the article to personalize and send to the appropriate legislator(s). The letter must outline the
issue and recommendation(s) for policy revision or replacement and seek the endorsement of the
legislator(s). The letter must be at least 150 words and follow current APA format contained after
the reference page.

This is your Portfolio Assignment addressing the course outcome: Evaluate the basic concepts of Health Information Technology (HIT) that are relevant to healthcare settings including EHR/EMR and other advancing forms of HIT.
You will be creating an interactive timeline based on your learning thus far.
1.Your timeline must have an engaging title.
2,Your timeline must be interactive.
3.You can include things like diagrams, links to full articles that you refer to in 4.your timeline or embedded videos that are relevant.
5.Your timeline must have at least 10 elements that support your timeline.
At least 8 of those items should be historical events that contributed to the advancement EHR/EMR.
6.Your timeline must have a mix of successes and challenges.
7.Your timeline must have at least 2 predictions based on your research.
Think back to your Critical Thinking Exercise and ask yourself where HIT and electronic medical records will look like in the next 3, 5 or 10 years. Find evidence to support your predictions.
Include in-text citations as needed and a reference list either as part of your timeline (not considered one of the elements) or as a separate document. Either way is fine.

Write a 1-2 page double spaced paper outlining 10 characteristics of “good” documentation that you have learned from the book and from Maureen Kroll’s website. Analyze the importance of how documentation and law are inter-connected (in your own words).

Reflect on the podcasts: As you think about your work team, whether you are a formal leader or not, identify three ways in which you will alter your practice of leadership as a result of your reading and other media and discuss why it is necessary to do so for the strength of your team. If you do not change your practice, what is the likely result of your inaction?
