Assignment 2: Human Resources and Staffing Crisis at Blumberg’s Nursing Home

Assignment 2: Human Resources and Staffing Crisis at Blumberg’s Nursing Home

NO PLAGIARISM

Blumberg’s Nursing Home (BNH) is a 100-bed Medicare and Medicaid certified facility in suburban Philadelphia, PA. The administrator recently terminated the facility’s Director of Nursing (DON), receptionist, and dietary aid for inappropriate conduct. They had all been involved in purchasing and using illegal substances on facility grounds. Facility staff, as well as many of the more lucid residents, have found out about the incident.

The charge nurse has been appointed interim DON. The human resource manager has sent a memo to all staff informing them of a mandatory staff meeting to discuss BNH’s code of ethics and to provide additional training on workplace culture. Because federal law requires that there be at least one (1) registered nurse on duty for a minimum of eight (8) hours a day, seven (7) days a week, and that the DON must be a registered nurse (RN) – which the interim DON is not – BNH is out of compliance.

Write a six (6) page paper in which you:
1.Assess the immediate staffing needs at BNH. Prioritize the order in which BNH should fill the main unstaffed position(s). Justify your selection(s).
2.Considering the reason behind the termination of the employees, formulate a human resources policy that addresses inappropriate conduct in the workplace, the process of reporting inappropriate conduct, and the consequences of violating the policy. Explain your rationale. 
3.Per the text, an effective long-term care facility administrator must have both leadership and management skills. Propose at least one (1) way the administrator in this case must demonstrate quality leadership skills, and one (1) way the administrator must demonstrate quality management skills in the aftermath of this crisis so as to improve and maintain staff and resident morale.
4.Recommend a strategy for BNH to use the Quality Indicator Survey to improve administrative practices and ensure future compliance at the facility. Justify your recommendation.
5.Use at least three (3) quality academic resources. Note: Wikipedia and other similar websites do not qualify as academic resources.  

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:
•Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
•Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length

Family Health Assessment

 Understanding family structure and style is essential to patient and family care. Conducting a family interview and needs assessment gathers information to identify strengths, as well as potential barriers to health. This information ultimately helps develop family-centered strategies for support and guidance.

This family health assessment is a two-part assignment. The information you gather in this initial assignment will be utilized for the second assignment in Topic 3.

Develop an interview questionnaire to be used in a family-focused functional assessment. The questionnaire must include three open-ended, family-focused questions to assess functional health patterns for each of the following:

  1. Values/Health Perception
  2. Nutrition
  3. Sleep/Rest
  4. Elimination
  5. Activity/Exercise
  6. Cognitive
  7. Sensory-Perception
  8. Self-Perception
  9. Role Relationship
  10. Sexuality
  11. Coping

Select a family, other than your own, and seek permission from the family to conduct an interview. Utilize the interview questions complied in your interview questionnaire to conduct a family-focused functional assessment. Document the responses as you conduct the interview.

Upon completion of the interview, write a 750-1,000-word paper. Analyze your assessment findings. Submit your questionnaire as an appendix with your assignment.

Include the following in your paper:

  1. Describe the family structure. Include individuals and any relevant attributes defining the family composition, race/ethnicity, social class, spirituality, and environment.
  2. Summarize the overall health behaviors of the family. Describe the current health of the family.
  3. Based on your findings, describe at least two of the functional health pattern strengths noted in the findings. Discuss three areas in which health problems or barriers to health were identified.
  4. Describe how family systems theory can be applied to solicit changes in family members that, in turn, initiate positive changes to the overall family functions over time.

Cite at least three peer-reviewed or scholarly sources to complete this assignment. Sources should be published within the last 5 years and appropriate for the assignment criteria.

Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.

This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion. 

You are required to submit this assignment to LopesWrite. Please refer to the directions in the Student Success Center.

>Computer Science homework help

This task relates to a sequence of assessments that will be repeated across Chapters 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10. Select any example of a visualisation or infographic, maybe your own work or that of others. The task is to undertake a deep, detailed ‘forensic’ like assessment of the design choices made across each of the five layers of the chosen visualisation’s anatomy. In each case your assessment is only concerned with one design layer at a time.
For this task, take a close look at the annotation choices:

  1. Start by identifying all the annotation features deployed, listing them under the headers of either project or chart annotation
  2. How suitable are the choices and deployment of these annotation features? If they are not, what do you think they should have been?
  3. Go through the set of ‘Influencing factors’ from the latter section of the book’s chapter to help shape your assessment and to possibly inform how you might tackle this design layer differently
  4. Also, considering the range of potential annotation features, what would you do differently or additionally?

Briefing: Decisions – Decisions
The Situation:
 
Its 3:00pm Tuesday afternoon and Janice, the new Senior Director of IT walks into your office. Sitting down in the chair next to your desk – you know by the look on her face she is there to ask you a question. She starts the conversation by telling you that the executive staff has been reviewing the presentations from various functional groups on how to improve corporate efficiency and improve revenue by automating the sales process. While the decision has been made to go with SalesForce.com, some additional decisions must be made to support the implementation across a field sales team consisting of a rather mixed group of young (average age 24 all with BA degrees) new hires to older veteran employees (many over 55 often with only a high school education). On average, most of the employees at Rock Solid are not technically savvy.
 
Besides supporting SalesForce.com, the solution for the sales team (inside sales, outside sales and applications) must also support the display of high resolution graphics and videos, parts and catalogue documentation in PDF format, and information presented using HTML5 on the web as well as email (MS Outlook/IMAP based). The solution must also have the ability to do Microsoft Office spreadsheets and standard sales documents such as quote letters.
 
She lets you know that she must make a quick presentation to the CFO, Don McCloud tomorrow morning over coffee. Don has attended all of the presentations yet is still skeptical of the need for a CRM system and does not really understand the hardware/software requirements. Don is not very technical – hardware specifications are a complete mystery to him. He is also confused about some of the hardware implementation details for the sales people. Some of the presentations were contradictory and discussions with various employees aren’t helping. Besides, most of his hardware knowledge comes from TV ads and a quick discussion the Best Buy Geek Squad so may be biased or downright inaccurate.
 
She also tells you that the request for a more detailed financial analysis will follow so do not spend too much time with cost and ROI analysis. That will come later.
 
She is very knowledgeable and competent, however was not onboard in time to attend the presentations. And, as she has only been at Rock Solid about a week, she has not been able to talk with all of the stakeholders (sales, marketing, operations, finance, accounting…). She has a lot on her agenda that must be accomplished and needs your help.
 
She ends the conversation by providing you with the questions she needs answered: “Should we go with Apple, Windows or Android based solutions? And, what form should the solution take – laptops, tablets or smartphones? Or maybe any combination of the three? What are the most important implementation/support issues we might face with each combination of choices?”
 
Knowing you have recently graduated and are fairly tech-savvy, looking at you very directly, she concludes with the all-important question: “Tell me, what do you think?”
 
 
Some thoughts that may help you write the Briefing:
 
This type of situation is common. Just like a Business Case Analysis, a briefing is not an opinion piece. A briefing is a very concise summary of relevant facts It is very easy to make decisions/choices based upon what you think you know or worse, what you think you want because of some personal preference, slick technology or coolness factors then, worse yet, bias your analysis. Remember this is not a report or an essay – she and the CFO need clear, fact-based answers. That said – like a Business Case Analysis – Always avoid personal pronouns and never talk down to your audience.
 
I would start by making some comparison tables then add discussion points. Using the Modified Leavitt Model you should “determine appropriate Technology for required work Tasks/Process”.  You may also need to think about the “People” part as most of the employees are not tech savvy.
 
You might want to look at some of the models presented in the book and lectures for guidance. You might want to research instances where other companies faced similar problems. Be sure to include references (does not have to be overwhelming – only key points).
 
The Briefing will be three pages: cover page, briefing content, and end notes. There is an absolute limit of 1 page of written briefing content single spaced, block justified. Go over one page of written briefing content – I will deduct points. Reducing the margins below 1 inch or using less than 12 point Times New Roman font to cram more information into the briefing – I will deduct points.
 
The briefing is being written for Janice (not Don or me), however, you must assume that she may give Don a copy so be very careful what you write and how you write it.
 
You must be concise and to the point. The conversation between Janice and Don on this topic probably will not exceed 5 mins as there is other related topics she wants to cover.
 
 
 
Form of the Briefing:
 

  1. Your cover page should be in the same format as the Case Analysis. Make sure you have a very brief executive summary.
  2. Then, starting on a separate page, provide a brief analysis in one (1) page maximum. Remember: This is a fact sheet for her use – not a report or an essay.
    1. Answer her questions based solely upon the information in the Case Analysis documents and as developed for the C-Level presentations.
    2. Repeat the questions exactly as the headers (unlike a Case Analysis) to make the answer/analysis sections very clear.
    3. Use bullet points as appropriate (much better than dense sentences/paragraphs)
    4. Add commentary/talking points as you deem appropriate to any tables, charts or graphs you choose to use.
    5. Consider that a copy of the briefing document may be given to the CFO as well as other C-Level executives. Again – Be very careful what you say and how you say it. Use business voice.
  3. The third page will be an endnote page citing any numbers, data, quotes, graphics, charts or tables used.
  4. If you have a chart, table or graphic that succinctly answers the questions posed, you may include it as a separate page after your brief written analysis (and before the endnote page). Graphs, and tables can speak 1000 words and can be used to easily articulate important points.

 
———————————————————————————————————-
 
Then (this would never be in a briefing document)….
 

  1. On a separate page ‘attached’ to the back of the briefing (after the endnotes) and for grading purposes only answer the following question: What is the first thing you will immediately say to her to answer the last question she asked: “Tell me, what do you think?” For this question and this question only (because I want to know what you would personally say in this situation) you may use a personal pronoun and write: ‘The first thing I would say to her is: (provide your answer)’. Use “Tell Me What You Think” as the title of this page. Again: Be very careful of opinions.

Outlining the public health financing process is an intuitive phase

Instructions

Outlining the public health financing process is an intuitive phase. Many public health officials start drafting the program budget along with the planning phase just to have some idea of the funding needed to support such a venture. Later, financial analysts are consulted to form a detailed plan of action and develop multiple financial options and a cohesive financial planning mechanism.
In this assignment, you will continue working on sections for your final project assignment. You will conduct a budget analysis for this assignment.
Using the readings for the week, the South University Online Library, and the Internet, write a 2–3-page budget analysis. Select 2–3 scholarly references on public health program financial plans to use in support of your response. Make sure to include evidence-based information and scholarly references.
Complete the following:

  • Begin by reviewing the assigned reading materials and the information about implementing and monitoring budgets.
  • Next, review the previous assignments you completed on your selected health issue or health disease topic.
  • Develop a cohesive budget to include types of cost analyses. Your budget analysis should be developed using an Excel spreadsheet. Review the readings for this week for examples.
  • Include the following components in your budget analysis:
    1. Selected Categories
    2. Total Budget
    3. Cumulative Expenses
    4. Dollar Variance
    5. Amount Left to Spend
    6. Percent of Unspent
    7. Percent of Variance
  • Be sure to calculate the total expenditures, revenue total, and final budget total.

In a 1-page summary in Word format, provide an overview of your budget that includes a mini-synopsis of the significant points. Approach your budget analysis as a practical application and assume you are going to submit it to public health officials to solicit funding for your health program. For this assignment, you will have two deliverables—the summary in Word format and the Excel spreadsheet with your analysis.
Since Microsoft Word and Excel are interconnected programs, you may embed your Excel spreadsheet in your Word document. The Microsoft Office Word Help Guide/Assistance can provide further information about how to embed or link documents.
