Project: Scholar-Practitioner Project: Literature Review and Problem Statement

This week, you begin development of your Scholar-Practitioner Project: Health Care Administration Leadership Theory. In order to achieve success in this program and as a future leader in health care administration, developing your skills for effectively assessing current literature and evaluating problems is critical. One of the goals of the Scholar-Practitioner Project is to help you develop such skills.

For this Project Assignment, think about common trends in health care administration leadership or critical areas of need for leadership in the field. Prepare a literature review of scholarly articles related to your topic. This review should contain a minimum of 10 peer-reviewed or scholarly resources. Additionally, based on your conducted review of the current literature, create a problem statement that addresses identified gaps while incorporating implications for positive social change. Located within the resources for the week, you may find the information from Walden’s Online Writing Center helpful for your completion of the Assignment.

  • For this Project Assignment, think about common trends in health care administration leadership or critical areas of need for leadership in the field. 
  • Prepare a literature review of scholarly articles related to your topic in health care administration leadership. This review should contain a minimum of 10 peer-reviewed or scholarly resources. 
  • Based on what you find in the current health care administration leadership literature, create a problem statement. It must address identified gaps while incorporating implications for positive social change.

Organize the Project in the following manner (each section should be represented for a comprehensive overview):

Literature Review and Problem Statement (5–7 pages):

  • The Literature Review section should be written in the narrative form, integrating concepts from the articles you find. The section should include: 
    • A synthesis of a minimum of 10 peer-reviewed, scholarly resources that give the reader a good overview of the issue. The section should show the reader common trends in health care administration leadership or critical areas of need for leadership in the field. 
    • A description of theoretical gaps in the research area. Based on the research you just did in leadership, what seems to be missing? 
  • The Problem Statement should include: 
    • An explanation of the specific problem that addresses identified gaps within the literature. 
    • An explanation of how your problem statement incorporates implications for positive social change. As students at Walden, you are preparing to become agents of social change. Based on your leadership topic, the research you just did, and the gaps you found, how would you be a social agent for change?

Support your Project 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.

Plagiarism

You are expected to write primarily in your own voice, using paraphrase, summary, and synthesis techniques when integrating information from class and outside sources. Use an author’s exact words only when the language is especially vivid, unique, or needed for technical accuracy. Failure to do so may result in charges of Academic Dishonesty.

Overusing an author’s exact words, such as including block quotations to meet word counts, may lead your readers to conclude that you lack appropriate comprehension of the subject matter or that you are neither an original thinker nor a skillful writer.

If you choose to accept this assignment , i expect it to be plagiarism free!! If you can’t and won’t deliver quality work, don’t accept . Period!!

Need two discussion questions answered 150 words min each with references

1.Effective managers can successfully locate and apply relevant human resources laws and regulations. The United States Department of Labor website is an excellent source of reliable information.

Access the search box of the U.S. Dept. of Labor website located at www.dol.gov.

Choose three laws from the list below to research:

·  Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA)

·  Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPPA)

·  Consolidated Omnibus Reconciliation Act (COBRA)

·  Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)

·  Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (WARN)

·  Employment Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA)

·  National Labor Relations Act (NLRA)

·  Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA)

·  Sarbanes-Oxley Act (see whistleblower protection provisions)

For each of your three chosen laws, provide a bulleted list of five or six relevant facts that you believe have significance for line managers.

2.Should executives receive bonuses if the organization is underperforming? The response may seem apparent, but if you think they should not, would you apply the same standard to your position (assuming you are not an executive)? That is, should you receive a bonus or pay increase only when your company is doing well, even though you do not have a direct impact on the company’s bottom line? Provide an explanation for your response. Support your response with an APA citation and reference.

How Is Policy Formulated?

 

How Is Policy Formulated?

How policy is formulated is the focus of this discussion. In particular, from the human services perspective, how would policy be formulated on the specific social change problem in the government example Simon offers in Chapter 6 of Public Policy?

  1. Briefly describe how policy is formulated in a government situation, knowing that the process is very similar in a for-profit or a non-profit organization.
  2. Identify the principal actors in the process (consult the Ryser “Elements of a Standard Policy Statement” reading from your Social Policy Toolbox).
  3. Discuss policy development group theory, as applied to your analysis.

Human Resources Management

You have presented your argument for raises and benefit increases to the management negotiations team. They reply with a proposal of their own during your next meeting. Their proposal offers no increase in wages or benefits. They also ask that employees arrive 15 minutes early to work every day to attend a safety meeting and to review goals. Employees will not be paid for these extra 15 minutes. 

How will you respond to this “offer” from management?  Are there things you are willing to do to entice management into offering a raise? What is your leverage in this situation?

Write 4 pages with 5 references

Hello Class,

With the onset of COVID-19, one side of the family decided to create a Marco Polo group for just the family. Marco Polo is a practical and private communication tool unlike typical social media. It is Video communication with anyone at anytime just like a text. Though most of the family lives in Georgia, we visit with each other often and vacation together yearly. Through Marco polo we can communicate and see each other while still safely quarantining. A social group provides feelings of love, appreciation, and caring by and for others (Stangor, 2016). Thankfully, technology has provided a way to maintain our family social group. In our family Marco polo group we share our feelings of the current situation while providing advice or clarity on specific topics without judgement. We have celebrated birthdays, worked on projects and shared stories as our way to stay connected at any time of the day. As the far away cousin, I was the organizer of the group and am grateful to chat with the family more than ever. Our common goal is to stay connected and continue to interact as we always have. A wine fairy delivers wine every week to each household and we have wine tastings together. Bingo cards have been delivered to everyone in our group and we have family bingo night. At least with Marco polo only one conversation happens at a time, which is never the case when we are together.
