Step 2 Conduct a Literature Search Start by searching broadly. Literature for your review will typically be acquired through scholarly books, journal articles, and/or dissertations. Develop an understanding of what is out there, what terms are accurate and helpful. You will provide two scholarly articles within the last five years (no older than 2020). Step 3 Literature Analysis A critical analysis of the literature collected around your topic. The analysis will explore relationships, major themes, and any critical gaps in the research expressed in the work. Read and summarize each source with an eye toward analyzing authority, currency, coverage, methodology, and relationship to other works. Your analysis will have the following components: (250 word minimum and 500 word maximum). Introduction (identifying the relevance of the topic approved) Themes of the identified articles ( each theme should have a separate paragraph) Future Implications and suggestions to improve healthcare Conclusion All of your work will need in text citation (See Purdue Owl for help with in-text citation using APA 7th edition) – Not Include in word count Last page only references (your two identified articles) in APA 7th addition (See Purdue Owl for reference). – Not included in word count

IHP 450 Milestone Two Guidelines and Rubric Prompt Because you have done such a good job with the consulting assignments, your boss has asked you to lead the development of the departments annual operating budget for the healthcare facility you selected, (Joslin or Venice). She has also offered to review an outline of your capital budget proposal before you submit it for consideration by the decision makers. There are two parts to this assignment that you will submit together: Part One: Proposal Outline First, you will outline your proposal for your boss to review. With the goal of submitting a proposal that will help your organization and win a $2,500 bonus, you will create a 13 page outline of your final project presentation that identifies the key points you will use to address critical elements of the final project, providing sufficient detail to allow your boss to provide constructive feedback on your proposal. Your outline should incorporate, where applicable, the knowledge, concepts, and principles that you have learned in Modules One through Five. Review the example proposal outline to gain an idea of what the start of your outline may look like. The notes and ideas you generate in this outline may inform the speaker notes, visuals, and text that you will include in your final project proposal presentation. To complete this part of the assignment, the following items must be addressed: Proposal Options: What various options are available for each item in your budget proposal? Provide multiple options for your supervisor or board to consider based on their needs. Financial Research: Describe the cost-benefit of each option based on relevant information and research. Information and research can include research on the items or vendors, organizational numbers, price quotes, and more. Be sure to provide relevant documentation in an appendix or reference slide to show the depth of your research and the various options available. Organizational Resources: Identify what resources would be needed to implement one of the options in your proposal Communication: What method of communication would be used to notify departments across the organization and what methods would be used throughout proposal implementation? Justify the appropriateness of your suggestions. Part Two: Departmental Budget Second, create your annual departmental budget per your boss request. As part of your capital budget proposal, you will need to apply the cost of your capital budget item, and all associated costs, to a specific department within the organization. Using the budget sample as an example, create your own departmental operating budget in the Operating Budget sheet. Please note that this is just an example provided to help you get started. You do not have to use all of the budget items found in the budget sample if they do not apply to your department. You may find that additional items are appropriate to include for your department beyond what is included in the sample. Use the Capital Budget sheet to calculate the costs of your capital budget item. As you create your departments budget, consider items such as hiring new staff, training, technology, and any other related costs. Also account for the potential revenue generated as a result of implementing the capital budget item as well as any potential expenses incurred by your department. These should be high-level estimates. To complete this part of the assignment, the following items, as well as those listed above, must be addressed: Budget (Please Note: Respond to the following critical elements in the proposal outline, not on the Excel document) Statements: What statements were utilized for formulating your proposal and why? Select the appropriate statements for analysis and defend your choices. Expenses: What major expenses are associated with your proposal items? Budgetary Accounts: What budgetary accounts (i.e., salaries) are impacted and in what way? Reasoning: Based on the previous years budget data, why did you select these budget items for adjustment over other options? Ratios: Research the various ratio options (including ROI) used for reviewing financial statements. Determine what ratios you will use for your proposal items and explain why. Ratio Calculations: Using budget statements, formulate calculations that support each recommendation. Projected Departmental Budget: Create a projected departmental budget for the upcoming year that incorporates the costs of the proposed changes. What to Submit You will submit two deliverables for this assignment. Your departmental budget must be submitted as an Excel spreadsheet. Your proposal outline must be submitted as a single document. It should be 13 pages in length with double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, one-inch margins, and citations in APA style where applicable.

Case Study 1A Phlebotomy

The setting is nursing home where a phlebotomist from the laboratory goes to draw blood samples each day. The phlebotomist picks up the requisitions for blood test orders at the nursing station and then goes to the various rooms to draw blood from the patients. She notices that 1 requisition has an Advanced Beneficiary Notice (ABN) attached to it that is signed by the patient – even when she knows the tests that were ordered should maybe not have been. She asks the nurse at the station. The nurse informs the phlebotomist that she doesn’t know anything about it because it was done on the night shift.

1. Provide an answer to at least the 3 questions below that need to be considered in order to understand the significance of the situation and next steps and how the case was resolved. You may think of another question. List it and its answer as well.
2. What is an ABN?
3. Should the Phlebotomist draw the blood? Why or why not?
4. Should the Phlebotomist do anything else?
5. In the discussion, provide additional information that would help your classmates understand the situation to best meet the needs of the patient, clinician, and laboratory personnel. Include background information (i.e. etiology) following APA citation guidelines.

CASE STUDY

Employee Turnover at Hillcrest Memorial Hospital

SCENARIO:

Your group is the newly formed Service Excellence Committee at Hillcrest Memorial Hospital. Over the past year, employee turnover has dramatically increased throughout the organization with no obvious reason. The hospital CEO has asked the committee to survey and research reasons for the turnover. Upon careful review of the surveys, you notice that normal reasons for turnover, such as low pay and poor benefits, are not the problem. However, one trend stands outdissatisfaction with job autonomy. You surmise the reason this is a problem is because Hillcrest operates with a traditional hierarchy, including traditional manager roles that appear more dictatorial than participative. Employees have limited freedom when it comes to their work and are neither motivated nor empowered by managers. The committee discusses then and decides to explore this theory further. Empowerment is a controversial topic to members of the committee, as their initial fear is that once an employee is empowered they will run amok and the organization will suffer. Upper management ignores the concept of employee motivation due to the misconception that motivating employees means it will cost the organization money. The committee is assigned with the task of writing a draft response to present to the CEO.

This case study is a modified version of the following case study:

Dore, A. (2012). Case Study: High Employee Turnover at Hillcrest Memorial Hospital. In S. B. Buchbinder & N. H. Shanks (Eds.), Introduction to health care management (pp. 399-400). Burlington, MA: Jones & Bartlett Learning.

GROUP REPORT/PAPER (worth a maximum of 150 points):

As a group, you will prepare a report to present to the CEO. Your report should include the following sections:

SECTIONS:

Background

Summary and Introduction:

This section should include a summary of the information presented in the case, but written as though the committee has actually reviewed the data presented in the case. In other words, this should be written as a report to be given to the CEO. Therefore, you should not mention the case itself, but, refer to the data presented as actual information at your organization (Hillcrest Memorial Hospital). You will also include a summary of the purpose of the committee and it goals, as presented in this report.

Importance of employee motivation and empowerment In this section, you should discuss the importance and benefits of motivation to employee morale and employee longevity and retention. You should also discuss employee empowerment and its role in employee motivation. You should use and cite at least three sources in this section (this can include the textbook).

**Summaries from various professions: (My Profession: Registered Nurse)**

Each person in your group should write his or her own section here, to be incorporated into the paper as a whole. Each person should research and discuss employee motivation and empowerment as it relates to his/her profession (either current healthcare profession, or, one in which you plan to work in the future). For example, if you are a medical technologist, you would research and discuss information pertinent to lab professionals, such as: What motivates lab professionals? Are there strategies that could impact the motivation of the workforce in this profession? How can employee empowerment be improved upon in this profession? Or, if your plan is to become a CEO or manager and you are currently not working in healthcare, you could instead research and write about healthcare administration, in general. There should be at least one source cited in each of these summary sections. If there is more than one individual in the same profession within the group, each should still write their own section.

Strategies:

This section should list at least three strategies that your committee proposes to reduce turnover through increased employee motivation. Thoroughly discuss each strategy and describe how it could reduce turnover.

Conclusion:

This will just be a one paragraph summary of the report and proposal.

Formatting:

The report should be double-spaced, 12-point Times New Roman font, with a title page and a reference page at the end (an abstract is not required). You will not need a running head, but the paper will need to be numbered (please include these in the upper right corner of the page). The title page should include the name of the committee and the committee members. Papers should be approximately 10-12 pages in order to include the required information.
