Identify a specific healthcare organization, for which, you would like to explore their policies and procedures for fiscal planning and financial management. Use Nexis Uni and other sources to locate publicly available financial information for this organization. Use it as context to address the questions listed below:

Using the information you found on the organization, please respond to the following questions:

1. Indicate the name of the organization.

2. Provide some background context on the organization (location, size, focus, services provided, demographics of patients served, for/non-profit status, etc.).

3. Does it have a separate finance/business department? Who is the executive over this department?

4. What are the typical duties and responsibilities of financial managers within a healthcare organization? Do you feel these apply to this organization?

5. What is the mission, vision, and goals of this organization?

6. Comment on the organization’s strategic planning process and its relationship to financial management. Is there an appropriate alignment? Support your perspective.

7. What type of budget does the organization use? Provide a bit of detail on what this type of budgeting is.

8. What is the most expensive aspect of healthcare delivery?

9. How is healthcare finance related to the cost of care, quality, value, waste, performance improvement, regulatory compliance, provider relationships, and insurance reimbursement/payors?

10. What measures has the organization used to contain costs?

Write a 3-page paper in which you report your findings from your research.

For the Module 3 SLP you will be applying the concepts you learned in the background materials regarding conflict and negotiation to a situation from your own personal experiences. Carefully review the background materials regarding types of conflict, causes of conflict, negotiation stages, and conflict management styles. It is important to first understand these comments from the background readings before starting this assignment.

Once you have thoroughly reviewed the background materials, think of a situation in the workplace where a conflict erupted and management had to intervene and some type of negotiation was involved. Then write a three page paper addressing the following four questions, and make sure to cite at least one of the required background readings for each of your four answers :

1. Was this conflict functional or dysfunctional?
2. What was the cause of the conflict? Use the terms from the background materials in your answer—for example, was the conflict a result of interpersonal issues, a specific task involved, due to inter-organizational issues, etc.
3. Of the five approaches to conflict management outlined in Shearouse (2011) or Bauer and Erdogan (2011), which approach most closely describes the approach used by management to resolve this conflict?
4. Did the negotiations involve integrative or distributive bargaining? What stages of negotiation did management go through, and did these stages match the five stages discussed in Bauer and Erdogan (2011)?

• Discussion Overview
  This week’s discussion is ungraded and optional. Post any questions or concerns that you have related to the HR Challenge: Oral Argument due next week.
• What You Need to Know
  This week explores the tasks of constructing and presenting an oral argument. Frequently, human resource professionals must present case facts and fact patterns to executive managers and counselors concerning internal investigations, hiring practices, or workplace issues. How the HRM professional prepares and presents a case provides a platform for employers and counsel to make informed and succinct decisions concerning its viability. Key topic areas this week include information and research sources, use of legal language, case mapping, building case strategy, partnering with counsel, and methods for oral presentation.
  This week, your instructor will schedule a conference call meeting time with your team to discuss and refine your oral arguments as you finalize your presentation. Use this meeting to ask the instructor any questions regarding your argument. Your instructor will also assign a conference call meeting time for your team to present its oral argument in Week 7.
  Cases
  It is recommended that you study the cases this week after analyzing them via the IRAC method, and some cases will be familiar. You shouldn’t need outside research for the HR Challenge: Oral Argument as long as you study the resources for this week.
