As discussed in class, quality has a variety of different definitions depending on the individual, the organization, or the industry.   We discussed five different types of quality in class.  For your assignment, I would like you to compare and contrast quality in health care versus a more traditional “business” field.

Take an organization in health care and one in business (such as the University of Utah Hospital versus Taco Bell).   VIsit these organizations, review their published information, even interview their employees, customers, or administrators.  With these, and other methods that provide information; answer the following:
– How does each assess quality, both in their products and services?
– What are the important outcomes, including those based on the quality types we discuss, that each is interested in?  – Are there differences in quality required between the two different organizations you’ve chosen?  Why?
– How do consumers provide their feedback on quality in each organization?  What about employees?
– What are the main strengths/weaknesses in how quality is assessed by each of these organizations?  Would you suggest any changes and, if so, what?

For Part I of the assignment (due Week 2), you read a book excerpt about critical thinking processes, reviewed the Procon.org Website in order to gather information, and engaged in prewriting to examine your thoughts.

* Remember that in the Week 2 Discussion, you examined the biases discussed in Chapter 2 of the webtext.

 

In Part II of the assignment (due Week 4), you will write a paper to synthesize your ideas.

Part II – Writing

Write at three to four (3-4) page paper in which you:

1. State your position on the topic you selected for Assignment 1.1.

2. Identify (3) three premises (reasons) from the Procon.org website that support your position    and explain why you selected these specific reasons.

3. Explain your answers to the “believing” questions about the three (3) premises opposing your position from the Procon.org website.

4. Examine at least two (2) types of biases that you likely experienced as you evaluated the premises for and against your position.

5. Discuss the effects of your own enculturation or group identification that may have influenced your biases.

6. Discuss whether or not your thinking about the topic has changed after playing the “Believing Game,” even if your position on the issue has stayed the same.

 

The paper should follow guidelines for clear and organized writing:

 

  • Include an introductory paragraph and concluding paragraph.
  • Address main ideas in body paragraphs with a topic sentence and supporting sentences.
  • Adhere to standard rules of English grammar, punctuation, mechanics, and spelling.

 

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:
