assignment 2 10/31/20

ASSIGNMENT #2:  Your specific assignment for this module is to select a health care organization for your project and have it approved by your professor. You may consider any health care organization as long as you have enough access to the organization and/or level of understanding of that organization necessary to complete the assignment.

Note: You will not be asked to reveal any proprietary or confidential information in your reports. In addition, there are several health care organizations that do a fantastic job of publicly disclosing their health information infrastructure in an online format such as: https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/the_johns_hopkins_hospital/ . If you don’t have direct access to a health care organization, you can use one of the health care organizations that provides its health information infrastructure online.

Accordingly, your selected health care organization can be:

·  The organization for which you work.

·  A health care organization for which a friend or relative works. You must be able to access information concerning this organization that is relevant to your SLP assignments.

·  A local health care organization that is willing to share insight about how it manages health information.

·  Any health care organization that makes public its approach to health information management, operations, and organizational structure.

******Provide a 7- to 10-slide (not including title slide and reference slides) PowerPoint presentation on the health care organization you have selected. Provide a brief overview of the health care organization. Next, discuss the types of health care information systems the organization uses (i.e., EHR, clinical decision support, patient portals, etc.). Finally, close with describing how these systems impact patient outcomes, quality and/or safety. PROVIDE SPEAKER NOTES TO SUPPORT YOUR SLIDES.

HR

 

In the 1990’s, the Financial Industry was known for its discrimination against women (and minorities).  In the 21st Century, tech companies are facing similar challenges.  As an example, a post-employment post by a former female employee at Uber, Susan Fowler, set of a firestorm of other allegations against Uber and other tech companies.  Read this infamous post and tell us what HR seems to have done wrong and what it should have done to respond to these allegations and partner with leadership to address the underlying issues.

Here’s Susan’s Blog Post:  https://www.susanjfowler.com/blog/2017/2/19/reflecting-on-one-very-strange-year-at-uber

1st Assignment

 

Healthcare faces critical staffing shortages. Imagine you are part of the executive management team researching health care shortages. 

  • Outline some of the staffing shortages in the market where you live.  Are they consistent with national trends? 
  • Design a strategy that describes how your organization would alleviate some staffing shortages, including whether you would hire licensed practical nurses instead of registered nurses. Include concepts from readings throughout your program or from peer-reviewed journal articles. 

Making Decisions

500 words with credible references.

How would you handle a situation that teetered on the edge of unethical, but was not against company policy? 

For example, there is no clear rule in your employee handbook forbidding romantic relationships. However, the receptionist, Alyssa, has begun dating a salesperson, Connor. The receptionist will occasionally receive cold calls from potential clients. There is an assumption on the sales team that Connor may be getting routed these cold calls due to his relationship with Alyssa.
