One Mission Two Methods My academic service learning was completed at two sites the first being the Cliffside Rehabilitation & Residential Health Care Center in Flushing NY. The second site was the Ozanam Hall Nursing Home located in Bayside NY. I decided to do an ASL report over a business report in order to get a feel of an industry I could potentially form a career in as a health and human services major. The reason I chose to complete my ALS at two different locations was because I thought it would allow me to gain a better perspective on how two facilities with same agenda could be run differently. Another reason was the distance from my house to my first choice in Cliffside was too far for a second trip.

When identifying areas which are affected, the problem spans from lack of assistance with activities of daily living, to major medical errors. One study focused on improved resuscitation rates related to appropriate nurse to patient ratios.

Since “timely response” is the initial phase in the “chain of survival”, the subsequent steps are more likely to yield favorable outcomes.
