As a future leader in the field of health care administration, you may face many chronic health threats to various systems. As you work to combat these threats and ensure community wellness, you are likely to become an agent of social change. This objective may be more challenging and critical to achieve in matters such as health emergencies and outbreaks. For leaders, outbreaks, epidemics, and pandemics elicit critical and timely attention to situations in health care administration. 

In this week’s article by Gostin, Lucey, & Phelan (2014), the authors highlight the challenges present with an Ebola epidemic on a global scale. Using this Learning Resource from this week as well as 2–4 additional resources you may find from the Walden Library, current events, etc., consider your leadership perspective during an outbreak, epidemic, or pandemic. 

As you collaborate with your group, individually select one of the following leadership roles that would respond during this outbreak: 

• Director, FEMA 
• Director, CDC 
• Governor of an afflicted state 
• Incident Response Commander 
• Response Leader, American Red Cross (or other nongovernmental organization) 
• Health Care Administrator for a large medical center

After selecting your leadership role, use a systems approach to work with your group to establish immediate response in preventing another pandemic. 

The Assignment—Part 1: 

Individual Case Analysis (1–2 pages):

Based on the leadership role you selected for the Assignment, include the following:

• A summary of the leadership challenges this leader would face in assuring the system changes necessary to be prepared for the next outbreak, epidemic, or pandemic 
• An explanation of how your leadership challenges as this leader relate to challenges of the other leaders listed above

Support your Case Study with specific references to all resources and current literature used in its preparation. You are to provide a reference list for all resources, including those in the Learning Resources for this course.

Help with Board Question and Article Critique. APA Format Throughout to Include Reference Page.

In your opinion, determine the most challenging aspect of a physician’s role as the administrator of a group practice. Justify your response.

The rough draft for your course project is now due.

Your rough draft should include a cover slide, the body of the slide, and a reference slide. The presentation should demonstrate a strong thesis statement about your chosen country (India) and its healthcare system.

The presentation should be 10 – 20 slides long. (not including title and reference slide). Your research should include at least five research resources. The presentation must use in-text citations and references in APA format.

A grant can be a powerful tool for achieving what might otherwise be impossible, or at least very difficult, to accomplish. What are some project ideas you have in mind for addressing a specific problem or need? If you were to apply for a grant, what would you pursue? What might your organization pursue?

With project ideas in mind, read the literature and familiarize yourself with evidence-based practices associated with the problems you are seeking to address. Determine what is currently being done to solve or mitigate these problems. This step is extremely important in determining how or if to proceed with your own project idea.

For this Discussion, critically think through your project ideas and concepts, as well as the literature, and select one to further develop for your grant proposal. Use the Process Development Template, located in this week’s Learning Resources, to organize your ideas regarding the purpose of the project and the research you have conducted.

Note: Use the Process Development Template as an iterative and cumulative worksheet for keeping notes and ideas about the different elements that will be addressed in your grant proposal. While this document will not be submitted for grading, it will inform assignments that are submitted. You are encouraged to use this template as both a guide for, and record of, the work you are doing.

For your first Discussion, review this module’s Learning Resources.

By Day 3 of Week 1

Post your response to the Discussion area in the Blackboard classroom.

Part A:

Describe your previous grant-writing experiences and explain what are, in your opinion, the most challenging aspects of grant writing. If you have not had previous grant-writing experience, what are some challenges you might anticipate and why? Describe the work you are currently involved in for which you might pursue funding.

Part B:

Post your project idea, explaining the needs it will meet. Explain why this project might be attractive to potential funders, and distinguish it from others that have addressed the same problem.

This week’s interactive lecture and Chapter 3 of the course text (Hill, 2013) discussed the importance and use of PMO project management standards and metrics.

• Describe the distinction between PMO project management standards and metrics.

Additionally, respond to one of the following options:

• Identify an organization that has a PMO (which may be based on your work experience). Give an example of a project management standard and an example of a project management metric. Describe how each advances the organization’s project management effectiveness.

– or –

• Identify an organization that could use a PMO. Recommend an example of a project management standard and an example of a project management metric. Describe how each would advance the organization’s project management effectiveness.

Instructions

This week, we studied and discussed metrics relevant to training. For this assignment, you will demonstrate your understanding of these metrics by writing a short paper (about 2000 words) that addresses the following questions:

1. What can each metric demonstrate? What is its importance to HRM and strategic decision-making?
2. What would be learned from statistics derived from this metric?
3. Where might one find (or collect) the raw data for this metric? How would you implement tracking this metric in an organizational dashboard/balanced scorecard?
4. What, if any, potential difficulties might create challenges in tracking this metric?
