Counselors As Contributors to Health Care Reform
 
 The training of  counselor educators and supervisors provides for instruction in the  wellness model, developmental stages of lifetime adjustment, early  intervention and prevention, and empowerment of clients. These values  seem perfectly matched for the re-focusing of health care on the early  stages of care rather than end-of-life care. An example of a health care  model that utilizes early identification of mental health issues and  has a client-centered approach to care is Intermountain Healthcare’s  Mental Health Integration model. 

 Intermountain’s Mental Health Integration  involves licensed mental health professionals working side-by-side with  primary care physicians. Together they are administering or reviewing  clients’ mental health screening instruments, consulting with physicians  on mental health issues, providing same-day brief counseling and  psycho-education, recommending referral for chronic and severe patients,  and working in a health care team along with other professionals. This  model engages community agencies such as the National Alliance for  Mental Illness (NAMI) to support patients and families in the treatment  process. Studies at Intermountain indicate that the Mental Health  Integration model provides higher quality health care at revenue-neutral  or reduced costs. The idea is for mental health workers to collaborate  across professional fields to increase quality health care. 

 The Committee on  Crossing the Quality Chasm: Adaptation to Mental Health and Addictive  Disorders offers the following six aims to achieve high-quality health  care: 

 “The Six Aims of High-Quality Health Care: 

Safe—avoiding injuries to patients from the care that is intended to help them.

Effective—providing  services based on scientific knowledge to all who could benefit and  refraining from providing services to those not likely to benefit.

Patient-centered—providing  care that is respectful of and responsive to individual patient  preferences, needs, and values and ensuring that patient values guide  all clinical decisions.

Timely—reducing waits and sometimes harmful delays for both those who receive and those who give care.
Efficient—avoiding waste, in particular waste of equipment, supplies, ideas, and energy.
Equitable—providing  care that does not vary in quality because of personal characteristics  such as gender, ethnicity, geographic location, and socioeconomic  status”

 To prepare for this Discussion: 

 Review the article,  “Integration of Mental Health into Primary Health care in Uganda:  Opportunities and Challenges.” Consider the challenges to integrating  mental health care into primary care and think about strategies for  overcoming these challenges. 

 Review the article, “Far  West Area Health Service Mental Health Integration Project: Model for  Rural Australia,” and think about how mental health care can be improved  by using a primary health care model. 

 Review the article,  “Reducing Harm Through Quality Improvement.” Consider the challenges and  opportunities presented by Intermountain Healthcare’s mental health  integration quality improvement program. 

 Think about how you think the implementation of the mental health integration model might affect you personally. 

 With these thoughts in mind: 

 Post a (200 Word APA Format) an  explanation of how you think you would be affected personally by the  implementation of the mental heath integration model. Be specific, using  the model and your situation to illustrate your points.
 
 

Prompt : Memorandum
I was hired just a few weeks ago to build the mergers and acquisitions consulting department. One of the best ways to do that is to suggest possible merger or acquisition ideas to companies. For example, Facebook likely got the idea to acquire Instagram because a group like us recommended it. The goal is for the company you pitch to follow your recommendation and ultimately hire us to advise them through the transaction process.
 
Identify a potential merger or acquisition between two firms and draft a memo pitching the deal. You are free to direct your pitch to either company if you recommend a merger, or to either the buyer or seller if you recommend an acquisition.
 
Be persuasive, but keep in mind that your audience will likely be a very sophisticated group who will be able to spot any gaps in your arguments. Maximum 1000 words.
 
When including data/evidence to support your argument, include in text citation

You are the new HR manager for a large, 100-year old company.  The company has several diversity-oriented groups and promotes growing the number of supervisors/managers that are non-white and women.  When you were hired, you noticed that leadership in the operational roles were only white men, while women and people of color were in “soft skilled” roles, supporting the operational areas.  When higher level positions became available, you noticed women and people of color were denied promotions for lacking operations experience.  You are also having concerns about possible hostile working environment conditions and how such incidents have been resolved by HR employees.
You have been the HR manager for six months and was presented with the below incident:

  1. In one of the 24-hour groups, the entire leadership team consists of white men.  All of the leadership team is over 50 years old and the average tenure with the company is 30 years.
  2. The rank-in-file employees of the team are diverse, with women and people of color.
  3. On the morning shift, you received an anonymous complaint that the leadership team is sending around emails that appear to be racist.  The email contained the below interaction:
    • Supervisor 1: Rick (a black male) is doing a lot of work.  It looks like he is going to beat his goal.
    • Supervisor 2: Good.  Then that will help to bring up the numbers so we can meet our goals as a group.
    • Supervisor 1: Yeah, we just need to get more silver-backs like him.
  4. The anonymous employee also typed a note stating that this is not the first time Supervisor 1 referred to black people as monkeys or gorillas – that Supervisor 1 has used such terms in front of and to the black people in the group.
  5. You talked with Supervisor 1’s manager.  The manager stated that Supervisor 1 has worked with the company for a long time and is not used to working with black people.  The manager insisted that Supervisor 1 is a good person.
  6. You talked with Supervisor 1.  Supervisor 1 stated he did not know that calling a black person a silver-back was offensive.  You asked Supervisor 1 about other comments referring to black people as monkeys or gorillas.  Supervisor 1 said that the problem with diversity is that people are so sensitive.
  7. You make a recommendation to Manager that Supervisor 1 should be formally disciplined including taking diversity classes.
  8. The manager did not accept your recommendation.  The manager stated he will talk with Supervisor 1.

As the HR manager, what should happen next?  Provide 3-5 recommendations to senior leadership to address this situation as well as to address your observations and concerns about diversity in the company.  Explain the reason for each recommendation and explain why/how these recommendations could improve the culture and work environment.
Paper should be 3-4 pages

  2. Give an example of a situation where you were limited by one of these barriers, and explain how that barrier influenced the outcome of the situation.
  3. Describe two ways that you could improve in your listening skills. How would these improvements impact your communication and speaking style?
