Initiatives in Strategic Health Care Organizations

The old adage, “form follows function” describes considering the importance of what you are trying to accomplish before you decide how to get there. It is important to remember that you have to have the will to improve, ideas about alternatives to the status quo, and make it real—execute (Nolan, 2007).

In this Discussion, you will describe strategic health care quality initiatives in two organizations attempting to accomplish their goals and objectives in quality improvement. You will also examine the purpose of the initiatives(s) and share the issues and opportunities for improvement, as well as address any elements crucial to improving quality in your health care organization or one you are familiar with.

To prepare:

Read and review the resources in the Learning Resources section as they relate to initiatives in strategic health care organizations.

Select ONE organization from each of the TWO groups listed:

Group I:

• Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ)
• Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI)
• Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP)

Group II:

• ANCC Magnet Recognition Program
• Baldrige Performance Excellence Program

Country Recommendation/ United Arab Emirates

UNITED ARAB EMIRATES (UAE)

Starting in Module 1, Activity 1.4 when you selected two countries from two different lists you have had to spend some time throughout the course investigating those countries. For this activity, you are to write a brief memo about your A-list country.

You have been asked to provide a preliminary analysis of a potential expansion project in a given country (the country you selected from the A list of countries). At this point, the project is so preliminary the quantitative analysis has yet to begin. Upper management has asked you to provide more of a qualitative document at this time addressing items you have studied in MBAA 653 that could affect the decision. Items to consider are political stability, corruption, transparency, other risks, the growth of the country’s economy, etc. You need to provide a concise case for (or against) a potential project in this country.

This will be presented to very busy people so use a memo format. The total memo length should be two pages maximum. You will lose points if you exceed this limitation. You do not need to a title page. An appendix simpling listing resources and links to those resources is fine (APA IS NOT REQUIRED).

Again be concise, present the information/data, summarize and draw your conclusions/recommendations about whether the project should move forward to a more detailed analysis.

Use the following formatting in your memo:

Margins: one inch all around
Font: Calibri 12 point
Line Spacing: 1.1
Before and After Spacing: 0 point
Double space between paragraphs

Human Resources Management Roles

The purpose of this assignment is to ensure that you understand the difference between Human Resources Management (HRM)–a “line” manager–and the Human Resources Department (HRD)–a “staff” function. It is important to understand that these functions are different; one provides direction to an organization and the other provides support. As you work on this assignment, consider different components within the role of a human resources manager versus the role of the Human Resources department.

Write a 350- to 700-word paper that includes the following:

• Identify HRM’s role and the human resources department’s role in the health care industry.
  • Consider the major differences between these two functions.
• Describe two of the functional roles of the human resources department in detail.

Cite at least 2 peer-reviewed, scholarly, or similar references.

Decision involving employee relations

You are the manager of human resources at a shipping firm, and the CEO has approached you for guidance. He is about to make a difficult decision and is seeking your counsel on how to handle a certain situation. In an earlier staff meeting, you had outlined the following criteria to use when making a difficult decision involving employee relations:

Is there any precedent in the company that could not only serve as a guide but which must be considered to avoid reinventing the wheel? More importantly, could the firm be charged with discrimination if employees do not treat person X in this situation the same as person Y in the precedent situation?
Is this just a onetime individual issue, or is the decision, in effect, establishing a new policy?
What are the long-term ramifications if the company sets a new policy to address this situation?
Which should dominate the decision-making process: the good of the long-term future, the rights of the individuals affected right now, or the cost to the company?
Is how the company decides to handle this situation that is arising in department A going to have a bad impact on other departments?
Will the decision made have any impact to the outside community?
How will the decision among this certain number of employees, or this department, impact overall workplace harmony and teamwork?
Will the decision leave the supervisor involved with possible problems regarding other employees?
Are there any legal issues involved that may guide the decision-making process?
The exact situation the CEO is being asked to make a decision on is as follows:

The company is preparing for its negotiations for a new contract with its labor union.

In two particular departments, the supervisors suspect significant drug use on the part of the employees. Other supervisors are not sure if their departments have this problem.

As a result, the CEO is considering requiring mandatory drug testing for all new and existing employees. In prenegotiation discussions, the union leadership has stated adamantly that it opposes this, even though if tested positive, existing employees will go through several steps of company-paid treatment and company-paid cessation seminars.

The CEO is convinced that several of the more serious plant accidents had some under-the-influence element as their cause, and you agree with him. Whether it is true or not, expensive worker’s compensation settlements were incurred by the company, in one case because of an amputation on a piece of machinery.

You need to formulate a strategy as to how to include this, or decide not to make this an issue in the upcoming negotiation.

He asked you to write your recommendation and explain which of the 9 criteria are the reasons for your recommendations. If other criteria helped you formulate your recommendation, explain that criteria.

The Constitution and Original Meaning

The Constitution and Original Meaning

This week we examined two different ways of interpreting the Constitution. Using one or the other as a basis, make a case for or against the constitutionality of Roe v. Wade. State clearly from the beginning which school of thought you are flowing, then take a position, and finally show how your school of thought on constitutional interpretation informs a position you will take on retaining or overturning Roe v. Wade. Remember – and I’ll restate it here – this is not so much a paper on the restriction of abortion as it is a paper using constitutional interpretation as a method to justify a positon on Roe v. Wade, one way or the other.

In addition to the arguments on original meaning in the text book, read and use the Unit 3, 3.2 on the restriction of abortion. Your paper needs to be a minimum of 500 words. Use APA standards. You may not use Wikipedia for a source.
