Week 6 Discussion Prompt:
What do you think is more important about being “authentic” ? 
Is it more important to live certain events to be able to express them, or is it it more important to have a strong connection to the arts used to express these events ? Do you need to “live it” or just know what “it” sounds like ?
Or does none of that matter – do we take what we want out of Hip Hop and decide whether it connects to us in a “real” or “authentic” way on our own terms ?
Do we just decide what is “authentic” based on both our own experiences and, more importantly, what we “like” ?

    COLLABORATION BETWEEN THE MANAGERS AND HUMAN RESOURCES PERSONNEL ASSOCIATED WITH FILLING THE OPEN POSITION.

    Didn’t Cut It? Hire Another The process of recruiting a new employee is smoothest when there is collaboration between the managers and human resources personnel associated with filling the open position. The relationships between managers and HR personnel must be balanced for the recruiting process to be successful. If a clear focus and sense of cooperation are lacking, the process can be slow, arduous, and often ineffective. Furthermore, financial, legal, and ethical concerns may be ignored if managers and HR personnel are clashing instead of collaborating.In this Discussion, you will explore the implications of managerial relationships in the recruiting process. You will also weigh the costs and benefits of internal versus external recruiting by considering financial implications and organizational values.To prepare for this Discussion:Read Chapter 11 in the course text and focus on the involvement of both management and HR personnel in the recruiting process.Read the article, Nurse Staffing: Finding the Right Number and Mix. Consider how financial matters and other challenges affect the recruiting process in health care organizations. Also, consider how these challenges relate to whether an organization hires internally or externally.Review the case study Didnt Cut It? Hire Another in Chapter 11 of the course text. Consider the benefits and shortcomings of the collaboration between Kathy Gray and Sam Weston.Think about the many considerations and pressures the HR department balances in the recruiting process. How does the HR departments adherence to these considerations and pressures affect the success of an organization?Post by Day 4 a summary of at least two issues or problems that occurred throughout the case study and why those issues are significant. Then, discuss how the existence of a human resources department in the nursing home would have prevented or mitigated those issues. Describe what additional issues could arise if either HR or management did not participate appropriately in the recruitment and hiring process. Finally, analyze the pros and cons of hiring from within versus hiring from outside an organization. Consider the costs and benefits of giving existing employees promotions and the costs and benefits of providing opportunities for outside candidates to obtain positions.Please put it in apa format citation and if you used a page in the book let me know.The name of the book is Human Resource Management in Healthcare principle and pratice 2ND 14Author(s)FallonEdition/Copyright2ND 14PublisherJones & Bartlett PublishersTypePaperbackISBN-101-449bogus6-8883-7ISBN-13978-1bogus-4496-8883-7please put it in apa format citation Thank you. 300 to 350 words

    Below are two scenarios, based on information learned in this course. You will need to write a 3–4 page paper for each scenario. Each paper should address the questions provided in the applicable scenario. Please use our textbook, internet search and any personal knowledge you might have to complete the assignment. Please cite all sources, and follow APA formatting techniques. Submit your Scenario 1 paper to the Unit 9 Scenario 1 Dropbox, and submit your Scenario 2 paper to the Unit 9 Scenario 2 Dropbox.
    Scenario 1: Combining data in an EMR system
    A large healthcare enterprise in the Mid-Atlantic region that was created by a merger owns two acute care hospitals, a rehabilitation center, an outpatient surgical center, and three long-term care facilities. Each of these institutions uses a different EMR system. Admitting privileges extend to 550 physicians who have office systems that interface with at least one of the acute care EMR systems.
    The vision is to create an environment to support communication, care coordination, and data sharing across the organization in preparation for a regional EHR system. The organization also wants to move quickly in order to take advantage of the incentives offered by the government and meet mandatory requirements.
    Executives have decided to focus on the acute care facilities first and use lessons learned there to integrate the other centers at a later time. Hospital A uses certified EHR applications and has implemented ancillary systems, CPOE, and clinical documentation whereas Hospital B has a highly customized, beloved old mainframe computer that is outdated and no longer supported by the vendor. Instead of selecting a new system for both hospitals, the software programs used in Hospital A will be implemented in Hospital B.

    • There are many types of barriers that can interfere with the implementation of a unified EMR system. Give an example of at least three barriers types that exist and could cause issues given the scenario above.

    Scenario 2: PHR Implementation
    An academic medical center in the western U.S. recently adopted a commercial EHR and plans to adopt and integrate a PHR with its EHR. The hospital CEO drafts a vision statement designed around improving how their patients experience health care.
    The CEO convenes a meeting of the chief technology officer, the chief nursing informatics officer, the chief medical officer, and a liaison from the EHR vendor to develop a strategic plan for the PHR. This meeting includes a specific list of functionalities, a timeline for their implementation, and considerations regarding the effects of the PHR on current workflows and revenue streams.

    • Imagine that you are the chief technology officer for the hospital. What PHR functionalities will you recommend be implemented first? Why?

    SUGGEST TO THE DIRECTOR OF THE NURSING HOME TO REDUCE INJURIES

    Safety Programs and Incentives

    Craig is a safety consultant in the mid-west. He received a telephone call from the Director of Countryside Care Center (a 207-bed nursing home facility in Aurora, Illinois that employs 65-70 nurse aides to work with residents and a total staff of 160 employees).
    When the Director explained that he wanted to hire Craig as a consultant to improve safety, Craig initially thought: “How dangerous can a nursing home be?” He soon learned. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, in 2000, the average nursing home injury and illness rate was 14.2 per 100 full time employees. Comparable rates include: coal mining (6.2), construction workers (10.8), and truck drivers (13.8).
    Nurse aides assist residents in many day-to-day tasks. One of the most hazardous (to the aides) is physically moving the residents to-and-from beds, chairs, and the toilet. The Director explained that the nurse aides were taught “safe” lifting techniques and to use a “two-person” lift whenever handling residents. However, despite this training and the adoption of what most consider the industry’s “best practices,” nurse aides are continuing to experience a high rate of injuries (especially back injuries) leading to Workers’ Compensation injuries claims.
    Craig has read about healthcare safety training and mechanical lifting devices but is unsure what would be the best advice to improve safety and decrease injuries.
    In a 2-3 page report, prepared in APA style with at least two references, do the following:
     

    • Recommend to Craig a more effective safety program he could suggest to the Director of the nursing home to reduce injuries
    • Advise Craig about any equipment that could be purchased to mechanize the lifting process for residents
    • Suggest to Craig a safety incentive program that you think could be implemented to incentivize the staff to reduce injuries and be cost-effective
