The Research Method Rationale

Look ahead to the Dissertation Research Prospectus that you will be expected to prepare in RES861 to describe the key elements of your desired doctoral research. Consider the instructions for drafting the Research Method Rationale section of the Prospectus and if you have begun this section in a prior course, refine it or write a first draft of a research method choice for your dissertation study for this assignment. 

By Unit 6, you may already have a strong sense of whether you will choose a qualitative or quantitative method for your dissertation research, so feel free to draft the rationale for your actual method choice at this point in time. Choose the research method that you see best aligns with your research focus, and justify your decision using appropriate scholarly research guides that you have sourced throughout this course and your other research methods courses. 

The rationale should be at least 3 paragraphs in length and well cited with appropriate scholarly research guides or specific scholarly research you have sourced as a specific research method and research design choice you are considering for your dissertation research study.

It can be helpful to draft this section directly within the Dissertation Research Prospectus Template knowing you will carry this document forward to develop in RES861, so please do so for this assignment submission. 

 Primary Task Response: Within the Discussion Board area, write 400-600 words that respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. This will be the foundation for future discussions by your classmates. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas. 

View this Ethical Dilemma to learn more about the relationship between Joe, the salesman for UWEAR, and Bill, the customer. Bill and Joe have a history of business dealings which you will analyze using ethical principles. It seems that their dealings are in the grey area of business conduct and it’s important to discuss the dilemma to understand the implications of this behavior.

Once you have read the ethical dilemma, discuss the following questions with your classmates:

• Are Bill’s gifts a form of bribery? 
• Which ethical theory supports your view? Why?
• What other ethical issues might be associated with the relationship between Bill and Joe?

I must have ORIGINAL work; each discussion 1 page with 2 paragraphs with 150 words in each paragraph and 1 up to date reference with each discussion.

HR Knowledge 8: Multi-Topic HRSelect and READ one of the following case studies (located in your textbook):CASE 14-2 YOU ARE NOT HURT? GOOD—YOU’RE FIRED! 
CASE 15-1 CEO COMPENSATION: DO THEY DESERVE ROCK STAR PAY? 

Next, analyze the case and provide an overview of key points or discussions. An overview is not a detailed description or regurgitated statements from the case, but instead key points in the case. Then, make 2 recommendations for improvements for any parts of the case (think like an HR leader). Saying that someone should have did this, or what you would have done are not considered improvements.NOTES:One to three small sentence-responses for analyzing the cases are not considered substantive. You may only have no more than two references for your response and each must be appropriately cited in the words. You may not copy and paste any part of another student’s response as part of your response. For this course, you must comment to a minimum of 1 other student’s response…No Exceptions! Although not mandatory, you are strongly encouraged to make your initial post by Wednesday of each week so that you have plenty of time to respond to your classmates.

As the Health IT Director at Trident Hospital (400-bed inpatient facility), you are responsible for all health information technology upgrades and maintenance. Trident Hospital has recently decided to purchase a new electronic health record (EHR) system. Trident Hospital’s Chief Information Officer (CIO) has requested that you provide a detailed report of what to expect from the point of acquisition through implementation.

This report should be between 7 – 10 pages (excluding title page and reference page) and outline the following:

• Which EHR product you are recommending and why
  • Discuss any features that you feel are important, such as clinical decision support systems (CDSS), computerized provider order entry (CPOE), patient portal, etc.
• Acquisition (what are the steps and what to expect)
• Implementation (what are the steps and what to expect)
• Standards (what types of standards should be implemented)
• Policies (what are some of the important policies that should be implemented?)

In addition, you need to discuss the benefits of this particular EHR and any potential barriers. Keep in mind that this should be a technical paper that discusses the aforementioned areas.

Assignment Expectations

1. Provide a 7- to 10-page technical paper (excluding title and reference pages) that discusses the particular EHR you have selected; acquisition; implementation; standards; and policies. You also need to discuss the benefits and barriers of the EHR implementation.
2. Provide an introduction and conclusion paragraph.
3. Your references and citations should be consistent with a particular formatting style such as APA.
4. Provide references from at least 3 scholarly articles (peer-reviewed). Do not include information from non-scholarly materials such as wikis, encyclopedias, or www.freearticles.com (or similar websites).

6. Your response should incorporate the outcomes of the module with the requirements of this assignment and will be graded according to the rubric.

Properly formatted job descriptions provide a specific outline of the job requirements; however, there are times that there are assumed expectations built into the description that are not clearly communicated. Think about a time when you were evaluated on an action, task, or behavior and were not clearly provided the directions or expectations prior to the evaluation.

In your initial post, briefly describe the situation and any ramifications that resulted from not being given clear directions. What actions should the human resource manager have taken to provide clear communication so that there is no misunderstanding of the expectations prior to the evaluation?
