Week 5 discussion-8110

The selection of a research design is guided by the study’s purpose and research questions and hypotheses, and the design then links the research questions and hypotheses to the data that will be collected. You should keep in mind, however, that the research process is interactive, not necessarily proceeding in a linear fashion from one component to the next. Rather, the writing of research questions could, for example, necessitate adjustments to the study’s purpose statement. Nevertheless, when presented together, the various components of a research study should align. As you learned last week, alignment means that a research study possesses clear and logical connections among all of its various components.

In addition to considering alignment, when researchers select a research design, they must also consider the ethical implications of their choice, including, for example, what their design selection means for participant recruitment, procedures, and privacy.

For this Discussion, you will evaluate quantitative research questions and hypotheses in assigned journal articles in your discipline and consider the alignment of theory, problem, purpose, research questions and hypotheses, and design. You will also identify the type of quantitative research design the authors used and explain how it was implemented. Quasi-experimental, casual comparative, correlational, pretest–posttest, or true experimental are examples of types of research designs used in quantitative research.

With these thoughts in mind, refer to the Journal Articles document for your assigned articles for this Discussion.

By Day 4

Post a critique of the research study in which you:

  • Evaluate the research questions and hypotheses.

    The Research Questions and Hypotheses Checklist serves as a guide for your evaluation. Please do not respond to the checklist in a Yes/No format in writing your Discussion post.

  • Identify the type of quantitative research design used and explain how the researchers implemented the design.
  • Analyze alignment among the theory, problem, purpose, research questions and hypotheses, and design.

Caring Angel Hospital

 

Imagine that you are a senior consultant at Practical Health Care Consulting. Your supervisor has instructed you to spend three months at the Caring Angel Hospital to help improve the quality of care, add value to the organization, improve employee morale, design an efficient organizational chart, create a strong team environment, and create the hospital’s competitive advantage. The hospital has traditionally made losses year after year. Furthermore, it is not performing well financially, and the banks are not willing to lend it large sums of money for more effective marketing.

After spending two months within the hospital, you are very happy with your progress, and you think you are capable of acquiring more patient base and expanding the hospital market. However, with a closer look, you notice that your patients are still hopping from one specialized hospital to another in search of various specialized treatments. You also notice that the seats are not comfortable in the waiting area, and the patients continuously show up for appointments on the wrong dates. The nurses and the employees are not smiling during patient conversations, and everyone looks for ways to blame others for failures in the patient treatment process. Everyone seems to work alone and hide what they do from their colleagues.

At the end of the 3-month period, you must provide a report with your recommended strategies designed to help Caring Angel Hospital achieve its goals.

Note: You may create or make all necessary assumptions needed for the completion of this assignment.

Requirements

Write a 4–6 page paper in which you:

  • From a consulting perspective, propose the major steps that Caring Angel Hospital could take to achieve each of the following goals:
    • Improve the quality of care.
    • Add value to the organization.
    • Improve employee morale.
    • Design an efficient organizational chart.
    • Create a strong team environment.
    • Create the hospital’s competitive edge.

Essay

 

In an essay, answer the following questions about the concepts tied to this unit. Your response needs to be at least one page in length.

  • To what extent is employment-at-will an issue in discipline cases in nonunion companies?
  • To what extent is it an issue in unionized companies?
  • Based on your research, what advice do you have for managers?
  • What advice do you have for lawmakers (i.e., to what extent should employment-at-will be relevant for employee discipline)?

Due Sunday by 1 pm

 Please READ and Follow Directions when writing this paper. There should be two parts to this paper a hypothetical case scenario and a intake and assessment form. Through research you should be able to find a free assessment form online with all the information on it. Points will be deducted for not following directions. Remember to combine your papers together as a whole and submit.

One of the major tasks in case management is to obtain information and effectively document that information.

For this part of your portfolio, you will develop a hypothetical case scenario based upon your project topic and create an intake and assessment form. The hypothetical case scenario will be used throughout the entire course project.

Part 1: Develop

Develop a two (2) page hypothetical case scenario on an individual client or a family. The scenario should be in depth and include all the pertinent information that is necessary to complete an intake and assessment form.

Part 2: Research

Conduct some online research on intake and assessment forms that are used in human services. Intake and assessment forms should include all pertinent information about the client and may vary greatly based on the agency.

Part 3: Create

Using information gained from your online research, create a one (1) page intake and assessment form.

Combine your hypothetical case scenario and intake and assessment form into a single Word document.

Use professional language including complete sentences and proper grammar, spelling, and punctuation throughout your paper. Be sure to cite any research sources in APA format. If you need assistance with APA format, refer to this Library and Learning Services APA Guide.

E- Portfolio

This e-portfolio assessment is designed to be used as both a learning tool and as a professional portfolio that you can include in your resume or applications for jobs. You want to begin developing your portfolio ideas during Week 3, even though it is not due until Week 8. In this assignment you are asked to choose any three of the four HRMN 302 course outcomes and reflect on your learning in our class.

There are two distinct parts to this assignment. The first is your reflective ideas about your learning for three of the four course goals. The second is the actual creation of the E-portfolio on the Google Site. There is a partially completed portfolio provided for you at the very end of these instructions.

For directions on how to create an E-portfolio/Google Site go to url https://goo.gl/pIMkbu

The four course outcomes for HRMN 302 are:

  1. Apply appropriate communication media and methods to various situational needs in organizational settings.
  2. Apply communication theories to organizational communication challenges.
  3. Recognize and respond constructively to cultural differences in communication.
  4. Analyze and assess the communication dynamics of an organization through the completion of a communication audit.

Once your portfolio site is created, follow the specific instructions below. 

Begin with an Introduction page, develop at least one page for each of the three outcomes you’ve selected. Be sure to include a Reference page at the end. 

You will have a minimum of 5 pages. 

On each outcome page:

  • Provide the specific course outcome you’ve selected.
  • Explain in your own words and 1-2 paragraphs how each outcome relates to what you have learned in class.
  • Post one artifact for each outcome (video, paper, chart, or any type of file you wish to use) and that demonstrates your mastery of each outcome. NOTE: the artifacts do not have to be newly created. You can use work you’ve developed previously.
  • Explain, in detailed sentences and approx. 2-3 paragraphs how each artifact relates to the course outcome.
