HA3010 – Introduction to US Healthcare Delivery

 Topic 08 Assignment: Final Paper Preparation

 For this assignment, submit the research paper PREPARATION. 

Over the next three weeks, you will be writing a paper over the topic of your choice regarding health care cost-cutting and cost-effectiveness of providing care. This broad “umbrella topic” provides you with a lot of topics such as diagnosis-related groups (DRGs), HMOs, PPOs, movement to ambulatory care, managed care, generic drug use, etc…

Here are examples of the top topics that students have chosen in the past:

1. Medicare, Medicaid, and their cost-effectiveness and cost savings

2. PPO vs. HMO’s and their cost-effectiveness and cost savings

3. Generic drugs vs. name-brand drugs and their cost-effectiveness and cost savings

4. Compare different long term services and their cost-effectiveness and cost savings (just like you discussed in week 7)

5. Any other topic you would like….just get it approved by me this week in your paper prep submission

The paper is due the last day of class. This paper must:

be at least 3 pages (double-spaced) not including cover page or references

include at least 3 references 

Do not plagiarize; this error is best avoided by properly paraphrasing authors’ works and giving credit to the author.

For this assignment, submit your paper topic for instructor approval. In addition, provide to your instructor citations for at least 3  articles you will use in your paper, and also submit a brief summary of each article.

You should start your research on the NAU Online Library’s Allied Health Subject Guide. For information on using the library, see “Using the Library and Our Databases.”

 Discussion: Planning Your Project

• A potential client wants you to be the project manager for a project that involves moving to a new computerized human resource management system that supports the firm’s staffing, compensation, employee relations, and benefit functions. The client is very vague about what needs to be done, and all that they know is that they do not like the current system. Identify the types of questions that you could ask the client to gain a better understanding of the scope of the project. Other than having the client answer your questions, what other activities could you engage in to gain a better understanding? 

International Events and Updated Strategies”  Please respond to the following:

• Note that the publication dates in the references in this chapter appear as pre-2008 years.  Within the ensuing years from 2008 forward, discuss three key international events that may affect the leadership of talent management strategies.
• As you speculate how world events may have affected talent management, determine a method to refresh the talent management strategy of your organization. Keeping in mind that the world is ever changing and the needs to find and develop talent are changing along with it, describe how an updated approach is necessary and what it would look like. 

 Attach or link to the autoethnographic journal article you have collected for the pre-tutorial exercise to your post and provide 2-3 sentences explaining why you chose it as an article that resonates with you. Specifically, how do you relate to the author and their experiences?

Hello,

I’m currently taking HRM530 and I have attached assignment 1 along with instructions and rubric. I have also attached an example from one of my friends to go by. I will be using the same company, which will be Target. 

 Read the case study “The Estimating Problem” on page 734 and then answer the questions on page 735. 

To complete the simplified version of the report please follow these steps:

1. Create a strategy map for an organization of your choosing
2. Identify the HR deliverables (outcomes) from the strategy map and develop an HR strategy map, that links back to the organizational map.
3. Explain how your HR architecture (policies, processes, and practices) will align, to allow HR to deliver on your identified deliverable.
4. Explain how the HR architecture (policies, processes, and practices) for your identified deliverable would align (horizontal alignment) with other pieces of HR architecture to reinforce each other.
5. Develop an HR Scorecard
6. Add the metrics, measures, scores & targets to your HR Scorecard

You are encouraged to use graphs and tables to make key points stand out, but don’t forget that you must still explain very clearly to the reader what the graphs and tables mean, and how and why they are relevant to your report (don’t assume the report reader will understand!).

The Course Project assignment is due by the end of this week—Week 7. Go to the Course Project Overview in Introduction & Resources and use the grading rubric and other requirements to write this assignment. The assignment should be formatted using the grading rubric’s structure components.

Remember to submit your assignment for grading when finished.
