Statutorily, it shall be an unlawful employment practice for an employer— (1) to fail or refuse to hire or to discharge any individual, or otherwise to discriminate against any individual with respect to his compensation, terms, conditions, or privileges of employment, because of such individual’s . . . religion . . . or (2) to limit, segregate, or classify his employees or applicants for employment in any way which would deprive or tend to deprive any individual of employment opportunities or otherwise adversely affect his status as an employee, because of such individual’s religion . . . [Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended; 42 U.S.C. § 20002-2(a). Bennet – Alexander (2019.

According to title VII, section (j) states the term “religion” as includes all aspects of religious observance and practice as well as beliefs.Considering the case of Jason religious observance to pray several times per day, Jason’s right under title VII civil rights act of 1964 is secured. However, the employer can discriminate against employee for religious reasons; if to do otherwise causes the employee undue hardship. When the employer discovers a religious conflict between the employer’s policy and the employee’s religion, the employer first responsibility is to attempt accommodation. If accommodation is not possible, the employer can implement the policy even though it has the effect of discriminating against the employee on the basis of religion. See Bennet – Alexander (2019) Pg. 547. The duty to accommodate is not a static concept for the employer and the employee. Critically looking at Jason’s case, he was asking for two additional 10 minutes breaks, which denotes, that the employer has previously granted his request of breaks for him to observe his religious practice. Employee’s duty to co-operate in accommodation of what the employer can give is necessary because the protection Title VII provide for employment discrimination on the basis of religion does not mean that the employer must resolve the conflict in the way the employee wants. The employee also must be reasonable in considering accommodation alternatives. 

Jason’s case can be compared to the EEOC v. Firestone Fibers & Textiles Company, that the fourth circuit found that the employer met the accommodation requirement for the employee’s religious belief prohibiting him from working on a Sabbath from sundown Friday to sundown Saturday and seven religious holidays during the year. The employer sought accommodation by altering Friday work shift, where it could and using the collective bargaining agreements seniority system. But, the employee requested 11 additional days to observe two religious holidays and was terminated, when he violated the company’s attendance policy prohibiting taking over 60 hours of unpaid leave. As far as the employer can convince the EEOC and the court that the employer has successfully borne the burden of reasonably accommodating Jason’s religious practice then Jason will not have a case against his employer.

Assignment: Group Case Study 2

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.

Module 4 Course Project-Rough Draft

 

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.

grant writing discussion 1

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 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.
