  • Organization and management of an Adult Day Care (PPT)

    $30.00

    PowerPoint Presentation – 45 Minutes

    Project Guidelines:  The purpose of this project is to apply the principles of organization and management to a health agency of your choosing. You will select a type of health agency to study. Only the team leader will submit the Power Point presentation for the team (with narrative in the notes section if required), and appendices addressing the following managerial topics:

    (SN: This is an PowerPoint Presentation the only things that need to be address is the everything under the Organization Design about Adult Care)

    Organizational Design
    Illustrate and explain the organizational structure for your business (organizational chart) (1-3 slides)
    Plan the organizational linkages with key stakeholders (1-3 slides)
    Staffing:
    Prepare a staffing plan for your organization (1-3 slides)
    Prepare job descriptions for 3 different positions (3-5 slides)
    Explain recruitment procedures (1-3 slides)
    Explain retention procedures (1-3 slides)
    Leadership & Management:
    Consider and justify which leadership style the CEO should use in this organization (1-3 slides)
    Anticipate 3 problems and explain how the organization will handle them (3-5 slides)
    Prepare a performance appraisal for 1 of the positions described in the staffing section (1-3 slides)
    Regulatory Compliance
    List 4 important laws, government policies, or regulations that must be met (2-5 slides)
    Explain the importance of each of these laws and how you will achieve compliance (2-5 slides)

    the number of slides is a recommendation and not a ceiling, but don’t get carried away.  Keep it to the point and short enough to be interesting.  An old boss of mine told me a long time ago when I did a really in-depth 45 minute presentation for him (he had told me to give him a quick brief on the issue we were dealing with) >>> “When I ask you what time it is, don’t tell me how to build a clock.”<<  So address the issues at the managerial level.

  • What kind of LEGAL steps would you take to try to discourage the formation of a union

    $5.00

    Topic: The setting is a 100-bed nursing home facility which employs about 135 employees and none of them are currently unionized. About one quarter of these employees are either administrators or supervisors and cannot be unionized. There has been significant turnover in leadership at the facility in recent years which has resulted in changing rules and procedures for all staff. Management staff that has remained thinks that they have done everything they can to keep employees happy. They even held a company barbeque last summer for everyone. They say that their hands are tied because the revenue streams for the facility have decreased because of cutbacks in reimbursement from Medicare and Medicaid, and private payers are also starting to negotiate lower rates. The nurses are increasingly being asked to work double shifts and patient care is starting to suffer. Wage increases have been non-existent or minimal. Supervisors appear to be ill-trained and are grouchy with everyone. The free bus passes employees used to get as a benefit have been revoked. One of the nursing staff decided she was fed up and is now trying to organize her colleagues under a union.

    Original Post You are a health care administrator within the facility. You are informed by one of your supervisors that this nurse is attempting to organize employees into a union. Assume that you are opposed to this action, what kind of LEGAL steps would you take to try to discourage the formation of a union or to show that it really isn’t needed? (Note that you will have had to follow the instructions in the learning module for this week, which required you to “jump to” the NLRB website to successfully respond to this question).

    Response Post Respond to one of your classmate’s post from the perspective of the nurse union organizer. Describe why such working conditions are a problem for you and why starting a union is the best solution to those problems.

    Sources: To receive full credit, you must cite at least one academic or government source to support your position in your original thought post. Please do not cite your book – this assignment requires you to do additional work. The following websites are not appropriate academic citations: Wikipedia.com; Ehow.com; Ask.com; About.com or anything in the same genre.

  • Facility disaster management plan: You are a new health services administrator at Good-Patient Hospital

    $5.00

    Topic: You are a new health services administrator at Good-Patient Hospital located on the east coast of Florida. Upon reviewing different aspects of the facility, you realize that there is no facility disaster management plan in place. You are specifically worried about hurricanes but recognize that there may be other types of disasters that need attention. Good sources to look is publications from the JCAHO and the Florida Dept of Health.

    Original Post You have three options available to you to develop the plan. These include:

    1. assign the task to one of the junior health services administrators within the facility;
    2. form a planning committee of employees to develop the plan; or
    3. bring in an experience contractor to create the plan.

    In your original post discuss:

    1. Which of these options, or combination of options, do you think will help you create the best plan possible? and
    2. What types of organizations outside your facility might be important partners to include in the plan because they would be key in responding to a disaster?

  • Solutions to WorldComm Case Study Questions

    $7.00

    Solutions to WorldComm Case Study Questions

    1. What are the ethical considerations involved in a company’s decision to loan executives money to cover margin calls on their purchase of shares of company stock?
    2. When well-conceived and executed properly, a growth-through-acquisition strategy is an accepted method to grow a business. What went wrong at WorldCom? Is there a need to put in place protections to insure stakeholders benefit from this strategy? If so, what form should these protections take?
    3. What are the ethical pros and cons of a banking firm giving their special clients privileged standing in “hot” IPO auctions?
    4. Jack Grubman apparently lied in his official biography at Salomon Smith Barney. Isn’t this simply part of the necessary role of marketing yourself? Is it useful to distinguish between “lying” and merely “fudging.”?
    5. Cynthia Cooper and her colleagues worried about their revelations bringing down the company. Her boss, Scott Sullivan, asked her to delay reporting her findings for one quarter. She and her team did not know for certain whether this additional time period might have given Sullivan time to “save the company” from bankruptcy. Assume that you were a member of Cooper’s team and role-play this decision-making situation.
    6. What could have been done to prevent this type of fraud from happening?
    7. What items from this incident should auditors look for as having the potential to lead to fraud?
