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/ .

·  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.

    LAUNCH INTERACTIVE MODULE
  • Write Your Discussion Post
    The Role of Unions in the Twenty-First Century
    What will be the role of labor unions in the twenty-first century? Some argue that the traditional role of the union in protecting the worker has been usurped by significant legislation protecting the worker against discrimination, unsafe work conditions, and unfair pay. Others point out that unions remain indispensable for several reasons; for example, because “at-will” employment is still the law of the land, meaning that most workers can be fired for any reason.

    • How does the role and purpose of the modern union need to be redefined to effectively serve its membership?
    • How does the presence of a union influence the job of the HR professional?
