HA255: Human Resources for Healthcare Organizations

CLASSMATE POST #1

Two challenges that affect human resources in healthcare organizations are the recruitment and retention of the right number of qualified staff and managing the changes that affect people. Recruitment and retention of staff is and will continue to be challenging to human resources in health care organizations because certain trends will affect the types and amounts of staff members needed. For instance, care for the aging population will continue to increase resulting in an increase of healthcare staff who are qualified to provide geriatric care (Flynn, n.d.). The challenge of recruitment and retention of qualified staff members affects the organizational outcome because if a facility is not adequately staffed, the result is staff burnout and possible patient neglect. These are two things that could negatively affect the facility and give the company a bad reputation. When patient neglect becomes an issue, the organization is at risk for not only a bad reputation, but possibly even lawsuits. On a positive note, when an organization is properly staffed, employees are happier and patient care will operate smoothly.

Managing changes in healthcare can involve things such as budgeting, new technology, and complying with healthcare laws. There are several types of changes in healthcare that take place, these are just a few. Proper budgeting could mean that human resources must find a way to staff enough employees while not spending too much money on payroll. It may also mean that the company decided to do a budget cut and HR has to figure out how to balance the budget between paying employees and ordering supplies for the facility without spending too much. Another example of change would be if any company policy changed, human resources would be responsible for educating employees on the changes and enforcing the new policy as well. Managing changes in healthcare impacts the organizational outcome in several different ways. One example is that if budgeting is not done carefully, too much money could be spent resulting in bankruptcy for the organization. However, when budgeting is done properly, the company will gain money and possibly be able to expand. Another example is if policies are changed and human resources educates employees and enforces the changes fairness is maintained within the workplace. When communicated properly, policies provide structure, control, consistency, and reasonableness in the workplace (Harper & Hill, 2018).However, if the changes are not properly communicated and enforced, it may create an unstable work environment and the company will suffer because it will lack all of the things listed above.

There are several challenges that affect the many different areas of the healthcare industry. One challenge that was discussed in chapter 1 that caught my attention was the quality of work life. According to Flynn, W.J., more and more healthcare work environments are in a high demand for 24 hour a day care every day of the week. This is outside what is originally called the normal workday which would be an 8 hour shift and outsides what would be considered a normal work week that would be a 40 hour week with every other weekend included. Often times when employees are home from work they are working on payroll, work, or the schedule which still conflict with their personal life habits and responsibilities and conflict with family. Even though they are home they are still not able to spend the time with their family as the demand of the work schedule is priority. This puts a huge impact in families. Some single mothers are very impacted with this. They are paying more as their children are in daycare more often then most other children and in return with the demand of the hours that are needed for 24 hour care, parents are missing special events or sports that their children may be involved in at school. Having some type of on-site daycare available and a flexible scheduling program would greatly help in this area if the employment is within the hospital or agency. However when it comes to the private in home care that requires the demand for 24 hr care that could potentially become an issue as it would be a HIPPA violation with having your children within the consumers homes. Maybe having more training’s available at a low cost would help get more people involved and interested in the healthcare field which in return could potentially split hours so that shifts could be made instead of around the clock care for one care giver.

Another challenge that stood out to me was technology. The technologies within the healthcare alone are forever upgrading constantly a the years go by. When I first started in home care at our local hospital in 1994, we manually used a stethoscope and BP cuff when someone needed their BP checked. Now a days, almost 26 years later, I find myself still using and checking BP’s manually. However, they now have machines that check them for you. We also spent most of our time during a visit at the ER writing and documenting everything in black or blue ink. Now, almost every employee that you come in contact with while at the ER or in the assisted living homes have computers or lap tops too which you document all the patient or consumers information in and what was done while there with them. Some problems that may arise or challenges would be the lack of computer knowledge that the employee may have. It need’s to be offered and taught more to prepare them much better within the nursing or healthcare field. Having training’s available as well will give the employees effective and safety training to operate the new technology before it is placed in the work force to be used. A moto our facility uses is “If you weren’t trained and never used it do not touch it.” This is not only for the employees safety but the patients safety as well. Not having the proper training could cause potential safety concerns and/or cause more problems or possible law suits if something went wrong. Making sure that the company as well as the employees are all up to date with any and all technologies and procedures not only helps the workdays run smooth but also builds respect and trust from the patients and their families towards the employees as well. It only takes 1 upset patient and family, and 1 neglect or abuse report for your company for it to spread throughout the community and cause it to be shut down, fined, sued, or all of the above.

HI135: LEGAL ASPECTS OF HEALTH INFORMATION

CLASSMATE POST #3

Health information management professionals are responsible for working with patient health information. AHIMA defines HIM as “the practice of acquiring, analyzing, and protecting digital and traditional medical information vital to providing quality patient care”. Working as an HIM professional involves accurately recording patient information and keeping it secure in order to provide quality patient care. HIM careers include health information manager, medical coder, healthcare data analyst, clinical documentation specialist, compliance auditors, and several medical record jobs. HIM professionals are highly trained in technology systems that store electronic health records and must be willing to learn new systems because healthcare technology is always advancing. Chapter 3 improved my understanding of HIM by clearly explaining the difference between data governance and information governance. Prior to reading chapter 3 I only thought of information governance when I thought of HIM. As a patient we only see the side of HIM that deals with our medical records, diagnosis, bills, etc. My biggest takeaway from chapter 3 was learning how complex HIM is regarding the development of technology that is required to keep patient data secure.

CLASSMATE POST #4

Health information managers have a vital role and a great deal of responsibility for providing protection for patients’ information of the organization they serve, as the responsibilities of monitoring and that of providing the highest standards of data integrity, confidentiality, and security depends on the HIM. As a Health information manager, the totality of their care for patients includes staying abreast of new technology which promotes, and protects the information of patients (AHIMA, 2019). Prior to reading chapter 3 of the text, I had no clear understanding of data governance as it applies to HIM professionals. It is evident that HIM professionals have a responsibility of governing organization’s data assets as well as implementing policies and procedures on how data is received, retrieved, and used for the effectiveness of that organization’s management.

Nursing Research Generating and Assessing Evidence for Nursing Practice – 10th edition

I’m studying for my English class and need an explanation.

You may have at some point in your life heard the word “rhetoric” used in the world of politics. Usually, when the word is used in terms of politics it has a negative connotation (a meaning more specific than it’s denotative meaning). Someone might say, “I don’t believe anything this president says. It’s all just rhetoric.” By this, they mean the politician’s words are an attempt to disguise the actual meaning or that there is no real meaning at all. However, the denotative meaning of “rhetoric” is: the art of persuasive speaking or writing. In other words, it is the craft that goes into communication, whether that is persuading your friend to go out to the club, persuading your boss to give you a raise, or persuading your reader that the central argument of your essay is valid.

It is important as a developing writer to understand the techniques of academic writing (rhetorical devices) so that you can employ them effectively in order to prove the arguments you will make in your essays (and get a good grade). One of the best ways to continually learn the effective use of these techniques is to identify their use by published authors in the material you are asked to read for class. At the same time, you will not only be learning how to use rhetorical devices, you will also be better able to analyze the content of the work itself and evaluate its validity.

Here are some important areas to consider when analyzing an author’s rhetoric (we will discuss more techniques as the semester progresses):

Tone: a)The mood of a piece established by the author; b) The attitude of an author toward a given subject. When discussing an author’s tone, be as specific as possible with the words you use. For example, to say a tone is “angry” is not as specific as saying it is “frustrated” or “bitter”. In other words, what kind of “angry” is it?

Here is a link to a list of words you can use to describe a writer’s tone (or feel free to search for others online): Words to Describe a Writer’s Tone (Links to an external site.)

Diction: a)Word Choice – what specific words does the author use to create analogies, make subtle connections, or offer imagery? Take this line from the Gladwell piece: “The practice of prying into the minds and habits of American consumers is now a multi-billion dollar business” (94). The word “prying” has a connotation of doing something bad, like a criminal using a crowbar to pry into a locked door. This word adds more meaning to the sentence rather than just saying “look into”. b)Overall Language – does the language in the piece seem Formal (complex vocabulary, grammatically and syntactically correct according Standard Academic English)? Or does the language seem Conversational (using language that is common in everyday conversation)? Or does the language seem to employ Slang (very informal language that is usually only understood by a specific group of people).

Write two paragraphs (one on tone and one on diction) analyzing Steve McKevitt’s use of rhetoric in “Everything Now” (123). Use multiple examples to support what you say about the author’s use of tone and diction in their separate paragraphs. Be sure to explain what you think the effect of the author’s use of tone and diction is after giving examples.

I need support with this Management question so I can learn better.

CTA 3: Fruits of NAFTA – The Mexican Medical-Devices Supply Chain.

Links to short news item and video about Mexico medical-devices supply chain are included herewith. Thanks to NAFTA, Tijuana has transformed from a seedy party destination for overage college students to a thriving industrial hub for medical device production. Well-known names of US medical device companies produce their products in factories situated here. Mexico’s medical device industry buys much of its raw materials and capital machinery from American suppliers. Half of the factory’s final output is shipped back to the U.S. and much of the rest to American-owned companies elsewhere.

I’m trying to study for my Economics course and I need some help to understand this question.

Some problems at the end of assigned chapter in the textbook. The economics major choose me. I will provide all questions and book.

Textbook: Richard Brealey et al, Fundamentals of Corporate Finance. This course provides an overview of the modern theory and practice of financial management and focuses on two fundamental financial decisions; investment as well as financing. Beginning with discounted cash flow analysis, basic theory will be applied to the valuation of stocks, bonds, and individual capital budgeting projects. Students will subsequently learn to price assets under uncertainty, including the tradeoff between risk and return, portfolio diversification and Capital Asset Pricing Model. Next, the course will address the elements involved in financing decisions, such as, capital markets, financing sources, debt and dividend policy. Finally, the course will conclude with a survey of current issues in finance, including mergers and acquisitions which require joint decisions of investment and financing.

I don’t know how to handle this English question and need guidance.

The English language arts content area encompasses a range of literacy skills, including reading, writing, listening, speaking, and language. The ability to perform these vital skills influences all content areas and sets a foundation for a child’s educational and professional future.

The purpose of this assignment is to analyze and select various instructional strategies specifically for reading and language development.

In this assignment, you will design a lesson plan intended to engage students in these strategies, while also making learning appropriately higher-order and meaningful.

Design a lesson plan for the elementary grade of your choice using the “COE Lesson Plan Template,” found in the Student Success Center. The lesson plan template should be completed in its entirety and should:

Teach both reading and language development/vocabulary to elementary students:

• Younger elementary students will primarily be taught lessons on phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, word study, frequently used vocabulary words, and some text comprehension.
• Older elementary students will primarily be taught lessons on vocabulary, including English language arts content terminology, and text comprehension.
• Align to state or national standards for English language arts (use the Common Core standards or your state’s standards).
• Use a grade-appropriate fiction or non-fiction text.
• Include grade- and content-appropriate vocabulary.
• Incorporate appropriate formative or summative assessment.
• Utilize appropriate English language arts practices and materials.
• Demonstrate organization and logic.

After designing the lesson plan, in 150-250 words, reflect on how you engaged complex thinking and meaning making within the scope of the reading and language/vocabulary lesson. Emphasize how you encouraged critical thinking and understanding of the text and language/vocabulary.

Submit your lesson plan and reflection as one deliverable.

****RESULTS OF QUIZ****

According to your answers, you are likely able to envision a clear direction for your company and communicate your plans in a way that excites others. This is an essential skill, because employees will be much more willing to achieve a goal if they are passionate about it. Remember that the manner in which you communicate your vision is essential. For instance, if you present your ideas to others in a confident manner, they will likely go over more easily. People who excel in this area are innovative visionaries who are confident in their ability to persuade and convince others. They consider it essential to make those they lead aware of, as well as part of, their vision.
