  • Risk management strategies in health care organizations

    The purpose of this assignment is to create an educational program that supports the implementation of risk management strategies in a health care organization. In this assignment, you will develop an “inservice”style educational risk management program presentation for the employer and employees of a particular health care organization. Select your topic for this educational session from one of the proposed recommendations or changes you suggested in the Topic 1 benchmark assignment to enhance, improve, or secure compliance standards in your chosen risk management plan example. Develop a 10-12-slide presentation (including a title slide, a reference slide, and slide notes that provide a detailed explanation of your research) that outlines the following points about your chosen topic: Introduction: Identify the risk management topic you have chosen to address and explain why it is important within your health care sector. Rationale: Explain how this risk management strategy is lacking within your selected organization’s current risk management plan and describe how its responsibility for implementation will better meet local, state, and federal compliance standards. Support: Provide data that indicate the need for this proposed risk management initiative and explain how it falls under the organization’s legal responsibility to provide a safe health care facility and work environment. Implementation: Describe the steps to implement the proposed strategy in your selected health care organization. Challenges: Predict obstacles the health care organization may face in executing this risk management strategy and challenges for building a culture of faith, compassion, and concern for patients, families, and employees, and propose solutions to navigate or preempt these potentially difficult outcomes. Evaluation: Outline your plan to evaluate the success of the proposed risk management program and how well it meets compliance with operational risk management policies in the organization’s short-term, long-term, and end goals, which includes key employer and employee metrics that will be used for measuring the success of the risk management program. Opportunities: Recommend additional risk management improvements in adjacent areas of influence that the organization could or should address moving forward. In addition to your textbook and the GCU “Statement on the Integration of Faith and Work,” you are required to support your analysis with at least three credible health-related resources and at least three peer-reviewed resources. Refer to the resource, “Creating Effective PowerPoint Presentations,” located in the Student Success Center, for additional guidance on completing this assignment in the appropriate style. While APA style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and documentation of sources should be presented using APA formatting guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

  • Employee spot recognition policy guidelines

    A well-designed employee spot recognition policy can help ensure that the program is fair, consistent, and effective in motivating and engaging employees. It can also help managers and supervisors understand their role in recognizing and rewarding employees and provide a framework for creating a positive and supportive work environment. Using the sample policy (figure 10.1) on page 261, develop a set of guidelines for spot recognition. This should include when and how to use spot recognition, and what is considered appropriate in terms of the cash value. (This case study may be included as a component of your final project)

  • MENTAL HEALTH AUTOBIOGRAPHY

    This assignment asks you to write in autobiographical form, meaning you will write in first person and share your own experiences and reflections. You will think about how social forces, not just personal weakness, shape the way people understand mental health. Using a sociological point of view, you will explain how your background and life experiences have influenced your beliefs about emotional struggles, mental illness, and asking for help.

    For this paper, please write about the experience of being a hyper-independent woman and how that can affect mental health. You may connect this topic to different social factors such as family beliefs about emotions, cultural or community expectations, race or ethnicity, social class, gender roles, religion, immigration experiences, or how schools respond to mental health.

    Suggested Reflection Questions

    (Use these as guides, not a checklist)

    How was mental health talked about (or not talked about) in your family or community?

    What messages did you receive about expressing emotions, stress, or vulnerability?

    How were people expected to cope with emotional distress?

    When someone struggled, what explanations were used (e.g., personal weakness, moral

    failure, medical issue, social stress)?

    What attitudes existed toward therapy, medication, or professional help?

    How did social identities (race, gender, class, religion, etc.) shape these views?

    **This is a high school assignment, so please use clear and simple vocabulary that is appropriate for a high school level**

  • Exam 1

    Respond to seven of these prompts. Examples are encouraged where appropriatewrite as much as necessary, but Im expecting roughly a paragraph or two. The two primary standards are: 1. Can you demonstrate a good command of the concept, with reference to the reading? 2. Can you explain why it might be important (this is where an example would help but isnt necessary)? The best answers will directly, specifically engage and cite the readings in addition to lecture material and original examples. You do not need a separate bibliography if you only reference course readings, but clearly note which ones you are discussing when you do so, including page numbers where possible. 1. What is infoglut, what is symbolic efficiency, and how does infoglut contribute to the demise of symbolic efficiency? 2. Explain Edward Bernays case for the importance of propaganda. What do you find convincing in it? Unconvincing? What has changed since 1928 that changes the persuasiveness of his argument? 3. Explain Elluls concepts of orthopraxy vs. orthodoxy and vertical vs. horizontal propaganda. How could these older ideas be used to understand your contemporary media environment? How does Elluls view of propaganda agree with or depart from Bernays? 4. What is bullshit, how is it distinct from lying, and how is the concept helpful in understanding mis/disinformation? 5. What is cognitive dissonance, what is confirmation bias, and how do the two relate to one another? 6. Explain Habermass concept of the public spherewhat it is, how it emerged historically, and why it is important. 7. Explain the Toulmin model of argument, including its component parts, and create an example identifying all six parts. 8. What are heuristics? Describe the concept, why it is important, and explain two kinds of heuristics with brief examples. 9. What is agnatology? How would you classify misinformation, disinformation, propaganda, and bullshit within the three kinds of agnatology defined by Proctor? 10. What is McIntyres concept of post-truth? Is McIntyres claim that we live in a new post-truth society persuasive given the history of mis/disinformation we have studied (for example, in Tucher)? Why or why not?
