 Management by objectives means to me that a company wants to set goals to achieve a certain result.  Management by objectives is a strategic way to management objectives to encourage team participation and commitment to achieve a specific goal.  Setting and achieving these goals also creates an “across the board” standard for all team members.  It creates objectives for an organization to focus on and set as a goal.

Option #1: Diversity and Inclusion

Diversity and inclusion are two common debates both in the workplace and throughout our political spectrum. The simple fact is that citizens travel much more freely now than 50 or 75 years ago: Germany is less “German”, and France is less “France” than at any time in history. Employees in one country are much more likely to meet, interact, and work with employees in other countries, and that can be a challenge. With that understanding, write a paper that addresses the following:

  • Provide a brief overview of how the demographics of the world, and US, workforce has changed (percent of women in the workplace and average age, for example)
  • Discuss how managing a homogeneous workforce differs from managing a heterogeneous workforce, both nationally and globally.

Finally, present at least three strategies that a human resource professional should adopt in order to effectively manage employees who have different backgrounds, perceptions, beliefs, religions, and philosophies (both work and personal).

Your paper should be:

  • 5-7 pages in length, or about 2300 words

travel statement

 write a Personal Travel Strategy statement that is 2 double-spaced pages (1 inch margins, 12 point font) in length; graduate students’ statements should be 4-5 pages in length.

USE AND ROLE OF HEALTH CARE INFORMATION SYSTEMS

 

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.

    Georgetown University Library. (n.d.). Evaluating internet resources. Retrieved from https://www.library.georgetown.edu/tutorials/research-guides/evaluating-internet-content
