Discuss terms vicarious liability and corporate liability

This module provided some insight into the doctrines of vicarious and corporate liability. These are both just as serious as employee negligence. In fact, in most cases, the organization is named with alongside the employee in a negligence lawsuit. This is not a new phenomenon as highlighted in the case “Norton v. Argonaut Insurance Co”. These events occurred in 1959. For this assignment, please read the case and appeal (http://www.leagle.com.) After reading the case, please answer the following questions:

1. Briefly discuss the terms vicarious liability and corporate liability.

2. Identify the various mistakes in the case and indicate which type of liability might result.

3. As the facility administrator, chief of staff, or chief of nursing, what steps would you take to prevent this from happening again?

4. This case happened over 50 years ago. What safeguards are in place today to prevent these types of mistakes?

5. What does pretermitting mean? Does it apply to this case?

Critique Human Resource Management

Unit V Article Critique

Use the CSU Online Library to locate and review a scholarly article found in a peer-reviewed journal related to HR selection methods, analyzing work, designing jobs, or HR planning. In peer-reviewed journals, the articles were reviewed by other professionals in the field to ensure the accuracy and quality of the articles, which is ideal when writing an article critique.

Research tip: When researching using the databases, you can limit your search to only peer-reviewed articles. To do this, look for the phrase “limit results,” and select “peer-reviewed articles.”

Once you have selected your article, follow the below criteria:

ï‚· There is a minimum requirement of 500 words for the article critique.  ï‚·

Write a summary of the article. This should be one to three paragraphs in length, depending on the length of the article. Include the purpose for the article, how research was conducted, the results, and other pertinent information from the article.  ï‚·

Identify the selection criteria and methods and how they relate to hiring at the organization in the article.  ï‚·

Discuss the meaning or implication of the results of the study that the article covers. This should be one to two paragraphs. This is where you offer your opinion on the article. Discuss any flaws with the article, how you think it could have been better, and what you think it all means.  ï‚·

Write one paragraph discussing how the author could expand on the results, what the information means in the big picture, what future research should focus on, or how future research could move the topic forward. Discuss how knowledge in the area could be expanded.

Any sources used, including the textbook and the article, must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying citations in APA format.

 

Analyze impact that the choice of model has on fiscal health

DISCUSSION QUESTION 1

“Medicaid” Please respond to the following:

• Examine at least two (2) eligibility requirements for Medicaid. Debate the extent to which you agree with the fairness of these requirements. Provide support for your rationale.

• Analyze two (2) changes to Medicaid resulting from the implementation of the Affordable Care Act. Determine the impact that these changes will have on both Medicare eligibility and your state government’s fiscal responsibility. Provide examples to illustrate the impact of such change.

DISCUSSION QUESTION 2

“State Children’s Health Insurance Program” Please respond to the following:

• From the first e-Activity, specify whether your state follows the private insurance model or the Medicaid model for its CHIP. Analyze the impact that the choice of model has on the fiscal health of your state. Provide two (2) examples of this impact of model choice to support your analysis.

• From the second e-Activity, examine at least two (2) changes to CHIP that have occurred as a result of the implementation of the Affordable Care Act. Hypothesize the potential effect that the changes in question could have on access to health care for children covered by CHIP. Support your rationale with one (1) specific example of such an effect for each change that you have identified.

Ethical decision-making process

Is the ethical decision-making process relevant to every situation? Why or why not?

Which step(s) in the ethical decision-making process is the most important? Which step(s) may present most difficulties? Why?

Discuss the modern ballet music to r&j

(You are to watch the Broadway musical “West Side Story” which has been made into a movie and the ballet Romeo and Juliet by Serge Prokofiev. Watch the entire movies, not just clips. They are enjoyable shows, however, you are only required to write about one aspect of each movie, and that aspect is not a plot summary. So it would be helpful if you did your research first, then watched the movie.)

RESEARCH ON THE WEB – ESSAY: In your essay, connect West Side Story, modern (as in active today) gang focused music and Romeo and Juliet. Additionally, reflect on the use of music in West Side Story, the ballet Romeo & Juliet, and modern gangs.

This essay has three threads:

1) The Broadway musical West Side Story;

2) Modern gang focused music (the music that modern gangs listen to like hip-hop and rap);

3) Romeo & Juliet, the famous Shakespeare play and the ballet setting by Prokofiev of that play.

Each thread deals with the music of gangs and how that music defines and describes their actions. Unfortunately, we don’t know what the original music (if any) for Romeo & Juliet sounded like, so we can only discuss the modern ballet music to R&J, and how that play is connected to the other two threads. However, WSS, the ballet R&J, and modern gangs have strong music connections, so those connections must be included.

Develop a hazard identification and control process

Assessment-

Part A-

Job Safety Analysis (JSA) simply means looking at the work task and considering what is the safest way to complete it. It is a way of becoming aware of the hazards involved in doing the job and taking action to prevent an injury.

The JSA process is suitable for different trades do different tasks, and need not require enormous amounts of time or use endless pieces of paper

Using the Job Safety Analysis developed by VWA, you are to undertake a detailed hazard and risk assessment of a designated area or process within a building and construction workplace or college (where appropriate).

Be sure to:

• Document the activity: Assemble those involved in the activity and then, using the JSA worksheet, write down the tasks that make up the activity, step by step.
• Identify the hazards: Next to each task, identify what part of the task may cause injury to those doing the work or to anyone else nearby. Don’t forget to consider the work environment in terms of structure and for potential hazards
• Document the control measures: For each identified hazard, list the measures that need to be put in place to eliminate or minimise any likely risk of injury to those involved. Your measures should include a range of options. Don’t forget to prioritise your control list for implementation and consider any risk reduction as a result of the controls suggested
• Identify any potential factors that could impact the control: Provide a variety of controls, prioritised in order of least risk
• Identify who is responsible: Document the name of the person responsible for implementing the control measure.
• Implement the control measures where practicable.

You must communicate with appropriate personnel whilst undertaking this task, including gaining input on suitable control measures for each risk identified

Remember-

• The JSA provides a written record of the process to be used to proceed on a task. As it is a record that can be used in court, it should be signed off by the parties who have responsibility for the tasks.
• The JSA is only a written record. Management processes must be in place to ensure workers have the skills to complete the job and that there is a required level of supervision to ensure the tasks are completed as documented.
• The JSA should be completed by all employees involved in the activity, not just the principal contractor or supervisor.

Part B-

You are to develop a hazard identification and control process that includes (as a minimum)

• policies in relation to hazard identification and control
• procedures for staff to follow in terms of hazard identification and controls
• a risk register specific to OHS risks within a building and construction site
• a detailed continuous improvement / ongoing risk management process including action plans for risks identified

Once developed, you are to input the hazards and risks identified in Part A into your risk register, along with details on the Risk rating, consequence, control and priority.
