Assignment Purpose

A healthcare manager/administrator should understand the importance of their organizations financial profitability. Since healthcare managers can be found within many areas of a facility, there are many ways a manager can directly or indirectly support financial profitability.

Instructions

Create a PowerPoint presentation to illustrate the following:

• Content 5 slides
• Identify 2 Healthcare manager (HCM) roles in a hospital setting (2 slides). Use bullet points to detail the managers financial-related duties.
• Identify 1 HCM role in an outpatient clinic setting. Use bullet points to detail the managers financial-related duties.
• Identify 1 HCM role in a home health agency. Use bullet points to detail the managers financial-related duties.
• Identify 1 HCM role in a healthcare business (not a hospital or clinic). Use bullet points to detail the managers financial-related duties.
• Speakers notes or voiceover is not required
• APA requirements: Title and reference slides, two sources, and in-text citations.

Assignment Tip:

Search current job openings for healthcare managers/administrators in each of these settings. Take note of similar job duties listed within job descriptions that relate to financial elements.

Consider the full scope of the healthcare revenue cycle. HCMs can support many aspects of this cycle.

Upon graduation, I anticipate working for a non-profit healthcare organization. Most of the healthcare choices where I live are non-profits. Therefore, when looking for employment, the odds are that I will work for a non-profit. I do connect more with the mission of providing healthcare to the greater community that happens with non-profits, but I am not opposed to working for a for-profit employer such as a med spa. The patient population for non-profit healthcare where I live includes all members of the community. The patient population for a med spa, for example, would be more focused on adults with a high socio-economic status due to the need for expendable income to afford the self-pay treatments. In general, non-profits have lower starting pay than for-profit employers. Salary definitely matters, but commute and scheduling are the main drivers for my employment choices.

In the response post, include the following:

• Discuss how your career plan aligns with or differs from your classmates.

Every health care organization collects data from its patients, and with access to this data comes the responsibility of securing and using it in applications that are ethical, legal, and with studied outcomes. While organizational health information management supports many of these responsibilities, the decision makers ultimately shape an organization and its future.

Scenario

Data was collected to identify specific cases of people diagnosed with a chronic disease. Your organization is interested in knowing where the population is most affected so resources can be moved to areas that need them.

Your department is continuing to work on the strategic planning for a nationwide health care delivery organization. Youve been asked to make a recommendation on the optimal locations to allocate resources for the best return on your investment.

Watch .

Assessment Deliverable

Use the spreadsheet to create the needed bar graphs to visualize the data collected on chronic disease.

Write at least a 700-word analysis report based on the prevalence rate data. In your report:

• Create a bar graph in Excel to identify the cities with the highest counts of chronic disease cases. Include this graph in line with your report.
• Identify the top 5 cities for chronic disease cases based on your graph.
• Identify how many chronic disease cases each of those cities has based on your graph.
• Calculate the prevalence rate per 100,000 people within the Prevalence Rate spreadsheet.
• Create a bar graph in Excel to identify the cities with the prevalence rate. Include in line with your report.
• Identify the top 5 cities for the prevalence rate based on your graph.
• Analyze what both graphs, case count, and the prevalence rate tell you about the chronic disease cases.
• Recommend where resources (facilities, equipment, staff, etc.) should be allocated to best treat the chronic disease, including your rationale.
• As an administrator, identify what else you might need to consider after analyzing this data.

Include your 2 bar graphs in line with your analysis report.

Format your citations according to APA guidelines.

Submit your report and your completed spreadsheet with your calculations and bar graphs.

Assessment Support

• Review the for guidance on deliverable expectations.
• Review the following resources for writing guidelines and APA information:

The Statement of Need or Problem Statement as it is sometimes referred to is a very critical aspect of the grant proposal. It is critical to the grant proposal because it identifies to the funder the specific problem you intend to solve and serves as the foundation upon which you will build your proposal. The problem also needs to align with the mission of the funding organization. If the problem you intend to address connects with the interests of the funder/grant maker, then there is a chance that they may consider investing in your project. This requires some research on your part in understanding the interests of the funder. The problem statement should be defined and clarified before moving forward in writing the proposal. In writing the problem statement you should include who is affected by the problem, the causes of the problem, current data/statistics to support the problem and how the organization is able to respond to the need. Some funders require an extensive need or problem statement, while others may just require 1-2 pages. It is important to follow all the instructions provided by the funding organization, so that the organization will not be disqualified or penalized. Instructions For the Statement of Need, pick a logical need for your organization based on its mission statement and project/research idea. Dont create a monstrous, multifaceted Need with a large, involved budget. If you do, it makes the other assignments of the grant proposal more time consuming to complete. Focus your ideas. The textbook provides a very good example. Length of the assignment: No less than 1 page. A title page and reference section should also be included. Format of Assignment: Use current APA style when citing your work. Number of Citations: Use at least 1 supplementary source. Acceptable Sources: Use current data and references published within the last 5 years to support your need. Note: Your assignment will be checked for originality via the Turnitin plagiarism tool. Your assignment this week will be to complete Grant Project: Project Description. The first step in developing a “Project Description” is to begin with writing goals and objectives for your program. These will be based on the “need” or “problem” you identified in your “Statement of Need. Goals are broad statements about a desired outcome for your program. Objectives are specific and measurable and describe how you will achieve your goals. Your objectives should be SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant (Realistic), Timebound), and you need to identify at least 3-5 objectives for your program. Please provide a combination of behavioral, performance, process, and product objectives. I would recommend that you identify at least one to two goal(s) for your program. You do not want to have too many goals for your program. Keep things simple since you are just learning how to write a grant. You also want to provide a rationale for your goal(s) (see the rubric). Your objectives should always be measurable, meaning they should include some type of percent change or number as well as a time frame. For example: To create a swimming program for children to learn to swim within 2 months. To increase the number of children in the program who learn to swim by 30% within 6 months. For each objective you will then provide strategies and activities that will describe how you will implement your objectives. When identifying and explaining your activities make sure the description is comprehensive. You want to identify staffing specifics showing who will be responsible for implementing the activities. Additionally, you will also include a timeline table (use a Gantt Chart or see the sample timeline table on pg. 53 of the O’Neal-McElrath text) in your “Project Description.” You can create a similar table. The Project Description is the longest section of the proposal, so think through it carefully and provide a comprehensive description of your project. I have attached a snapshot sample of the project description. Please just use this as a guide. It is not a complete project description and does not include a timeline. The textbook provides the best example of the Project Description. Beginning at the bottom of pg.119: Goals and objectives to pg. 122 you will see how the Alyson Eats project outlines the Project Description. Do not include evaluation or budget information in the project description. The assignment should be written in APA style

Market Justice vs. Social Justice U.S. health care blends two distribution logics: Market justice: health care as an economic good; access shaped by ability to pay (demand-side/price rationing). Social justice: health care as a social good; access organized by public planning and safety-net programs (supply-side rationing) Your Turn 1. Give a real-world example where market justice and social justice complement each other 2. Give a real-world example where they conflict (think: uninsured, rural access, safety net) example 1 this is a classmate work i don’t want some thing long. I preferred some thing just like this not too long. “(Market justice and social ustice are often presented as contrasting frameworks, they are not completely opposite sides of a coin. In the U.S. healthcare system, there is some overlap – for example, private insurance reflects market justice, while programs like Medicare and Medicaid reflect social justice. The two approaches coexist and interact, rather than being entirely mutually exclusive.)”
