  • Assignment 2

    1. Identify three to six articles from the library search. List the titles below. You will write the annotations later.

    2. Google / Report Search (AI Use Allowed):

    You will also conduct a general Google search (or another search engine) to find recent research reports from reputable research institutes about your topic.

    Examples of reputable institutes include:

    • Brookings Institution
    • Pew Research Center
    • Urban Institute
    • Cato Institute

    If you are unsure whether a source is reputable, email me before using it.

    Next

    • Brainstorm effective Google search terms
    • Identify reputable research institutes related to your topic
    • Summarize what kind of information a report provides

    You may not copy and paste AI-generated annotations or summaries into your assignment.

    Identify six research reports from reputable research institutes. List the titles below. You will write annotations next.

    3. Create an annotated bibliography

    Create Your Annotated Bibliography five (5) sources total (journal articles and/or research reports). I have provided links to help you create annotated bibliographic entries. Go back and view them. Each entry starts with a full APA citation. Then you will create an annotation that helps you quickly recall what the article or report is about by considering the questions below. The annotation you write should be about 100 words each. Do not use AI to write your annotations. You write them for you. I will go back through these, even though you will receive an instant grade based on word count. I can change the grade if I look at it and think it is too surface-level. Engage with the topic you have chosen by exploring the importance of the articles you choose.

    • Use APA citation style
    • Write in complete sentences
    • Your annotations are for youto help you understand the research and think sociologically about your issue

    Each annotation should address:

    • What aspect of the issue does the article or report examines
    • Whether it focuses on scope, lived experience, policy, or programs
    • How the source is useful for writing an op-ed, bog, or educating others
    • The main conclusions or recommendations of the research
    • Important facts or figures you might use later
    • Whether you agree with the authors suggested next steps, and why or why not

  • Communication and Negotiation

    In a 3-5 page paper using APA formatting, respond to the following questions.

    1. The Board of Directors of Sebago Lake Medical Group (a fictitious organization) has approved a new compensation program that will affect all 184 non-provider employees. Some employees will receive a significant increase in salary, some will receive a small increase, and some will have no increase. Develop a communication plan to inform all employees of how this change will impact them. For this case study material from the textbook and lecture notes will be helpful, but independent thinking is encouraged. Put yourself in the role of a senior leader or a board member; how can senior leadership explain this important change to engender understanding and support? Also, put yourself in the role of an employee affected by the change; what do you want to know? How do you want to be informed? What communication methods would increase your understanding and support?
    2. Explain to a new employee the importance of participating in system-wide committees and the value of networking with others within and outside of the organization.
    3. Compare and contrast the three strategies for negotiation. Which is the preferred strategy, and why? Discuss how influence can be used both positively and negatively, formally and informally.
    4. Look back on the case study from Week 2, The New Department Director (page 51). Explain how Dr. Grant may negotiate with team members to solve the problem(s) and identify the communication and interpersonal skills needed. What negotiation tactics should Dr. Grant utilize? (Refer to information in the text on negotiation tactics on pages 177 180.)

    Case Study: Home-Based Nonprofit Daycare Center

    Sally Smith is a teacher by trade and has owned and operated several daycare centers.

    She has always wanted to start a nonprofit daycare to offer a safe place for the children of working unhoused or indigent mothers.

    She converted the garage and first floor of her home into a daycare, obtained the necessary certifications, and opened the doors. She formed a 501(c)(3) entity with three officers, including Sally. Her other officers are her aunt Penny Page and her friend Jane Johnson, and they have had one board meeting. Sally is often short on donations and supplies, so she will often loan paper products and food from her personal pantry to assist the daycare.

    Occasionally, she has to borrow back some supplies when she runs short herself. Sally is pleased with the number of donations of supplies and clothes she has been receiving from friends and church members, and last week she solicited contributions from the community and raised $2,000. One of her church members mentioned something about registration required for solicitations, but she has not had a chance to look into it yet.

    Sally opened a bank account for the daycare but is so busy that she hasn’t prepared a budget or set up a bookkeeping system. Sally plans to evaluate her need for insurance. Several people have expressed an interest in her cause, and she plans to enlist them, as well as some friends and church members, to serve on her board once she gets a chance to get organized.

  • Camp Fire

    Camp Fire, 2018

    The California Wildfire of 2018 called the Camp Fire was the deadliest and most destructive wildfire in California’s history and the most expensive natural disaster in the world in 2018 in terms of insured losses. Named after Camp Creek Road, its place of origin, the fire started on Thursday, November 8, 2018, in Northern California’s Butte County. Ignited by a faulty electric transmission line, the fire originated above several communities and an east wind drove the fire downhill through developed areas. The fire caused at least 85 civilian fatalities, with one person still missing as of August 2, 2019, and injured 12 civilians, two prison inmate firefighters, and three other firefighters. It covered an area of 153,336 acres, and destroyed 18,804 structures, with most of the destruction occurring within the first four hours.

    Adventist Health Feather River, also known as Feather River Hospital, is a 101-bed acute care hospital located in the town of Paradise, in Butte County, California, with a wide array of outpatient departments and services designed to meet the health care needs of Paradise, Magalia, and neighboring communities. Feather River Hospital was severely damaged in the November 2018 Camp Fire and is currently closed. The hospital was forced to evacuate after the fire jumped a road going to the hospital. Some people were trapped under Adventist Health Feather River in a tunnel until they could escape. Employees at Adventist Health Feather River evacuated 60 patients the morning of November 8, 2018. The patients were transported in ambulances, by helicopter, and in employee vehicles.

    Your assignment: In a MEMO format, in 900-1000 words, please discuss the following about the Camp Fire 2018 Disaster Response:

    • What were three areas that went well with the response?
    • What were three significant challenges with the response?
    • What were three ways in which the response could have been improved?
    • During Week One, we discussed Fayol’s Five Functions of Management; not necessarily in this order: (a) Planning, (b) organizing, (c) coordinating, (d) commanding, and (e) controlling. As Adventist Health Feather River Hospital’s Chief Operating Officer (COO), how would you augment your healthcare facilitys disaster preparedness? Discuss how you would utilize Fayol’s commanding function, to enhance your facilities’ disaster preparedness, response, and continuity of operations (COOP) plan. You must reference Fayol to receive credit for this section.

    Ensure that your assignment is in the APA 7th edition format with a cover page, separating your sections by the appropriate APA Level Headings. Also, make sure you include a reference page and at least five references.
