  • Process improvement in the organization from a production and operations management is a key component of the Logistics Manager position. Considering this, describe the potential selection criteria that you will use for the new Logistics Manager.

Assignment

By now, you should be aware that the findings from a research study are only part of the story. As a consumer, hoping to inform practice by use of an evidence base, you want to know much more. A sound research study includes all the steps highlighted in previous weeks: reviewing existing literature, focusing a research question, choosing a qualitative or quantitative method for answering the question, designing the study including selection of data collection procedures and/or measures, procedures used, data analysis plan, and findings. In addition, the study commonly discusses how ethical concerns were addressed and acknowledges the limitations of the study. For this assignment, you review a published research study with two purposes in mind:

  • Observing the structure and content of the article
  • Comparing the content of the article to the recommended content of sections for a research study.

Submit a 7-10 page critique and review of the article, which includes the title page and the reference list. Follow the guidelines below:

  1. Use the quantitative or qualitative research article that you located and that your instructor approved as part of the Week 5 assignment.
  2. Provide an APA reference for the article you select.
  3. If you selected a quantitative research study, use the “Quantitative Article Review and Critique. If you selected a qualitative study, use the “Qualitative Article Review and Critique.” Respond to all the questions.

Be sure to include the questions in your critique. This will cause your SafeAssign report to show high similarity to other students’ papers. However, do not be concerned about that. Do, however, appropriately paraphrase and cite specific details from the article you review.

Week 1 Discussion

 

Read the Following Case Scenario

A recent survey was taken among employees at Biotech Health and Life Products (Biotech).  The results were alarming, as it appeared the leadership has been less effective than in the past.  Some of the common complaints seemed to focus on the lack of vision, a breakdown in communication and a lack of connection with staff. 

You have read the results and as Vice President of Biotech, you completely agree with employees.   Leadership is the cornerstone to success in any organization and to permit poor leadership can only spell trouble. It occurred to you that the place to start change was staring you in the face – the new management hires planned for Warehouse Operations in Detroit and Brisbane.  Mumbling to yourself “but what do I want them to look like?” you decide that you must write a memo to HR Director, Jennifer Dion to make sure the “right” description of a leader is asked for in the soon-to-be released job description.  Scrambling around on the desk, you find the old job announcement so that you can make some changes.  It reads, “Biotech is looking for experienced warehouse managers who focus on keeping the distribution speed high and shipping costs low.  Manager must be able to motivate employees to keep distribution, packing, and shipping moving smoothly and efficiently.  Must be someone who can handle a fast-paced environment, is used to meeting deadlines, is driven and results-oriented.  Goal oriented and policy adherence critical to succeed in the department.”

Instructions

You will act as the Vice President of Biotech.  Write a memorandum to the HR Director, Jennifer Dion that explains the need for a new job announcement for managers at Biotech.  The memorandum will explain how the business environment has changed the view of the leader and defines the vision you have based on synthesizing the course material about leadership theory and definition of a leader in today’s business environment opposed to leaders hired in the past. 

In writing the memorandum, use the course material from week 1 (you may also use course material from week 2) to support the reasoning and conclusions made.  You will also use the Company Profile .  Answer the following:

  • Explain how the existing job announcement for new hires was effective in the past based on the theories and view of leadership through the 1990’s.
  • Explain why the leader of today would no longer fit the definition set out in the old announcement.
  • Describe what a leader looks like today and what theories and leadership definitions support this description.

Memorandum Set Up

A memo is left justified with no indentations of paragraphs.  A memo is single-spaced with a double space between paragraphs to make the memo easy to read. 

 In business, writing must be concise, easy to read and free of writing and grammatical errors.

You are required to use in-text citations with an associated reference list. 

Use headings for each element.   It is suggested that you set up the memo with all of the required headings and then fill in each section of the memo.

Use a memo format:

To:

From:

Date:

Subject:

Remember, you are sending this memo to the HR Director so this is a formal memo.  Proof the memo carefully for typos, grammatical errors and ensure the memo conveys the points you are to address.  Why?  Because your work products is a reflection of who you are – it is your brand!  A good brand can lead to future opportunities in an organization such as a promotion.  

Make sure the memo is audience appropriate, concise, coherent, readable, uses appropriate terminology, is professional, provides a factual tone (no opinion and no recommendations), and is visually appealing. 

Memorandum Requirements

You are sending this memo to the HR Director, Jennifer Dion.  Read the memo to ensure all required elements are present.  You also need to use facts from the case scenario and course material to support the ideas and reasoning put forth. 

The language in the announcement has to be just right so that Biotech attracts the best candidates.  Therefore, it is important to help Jennifer capture the essence of a leader at Biotech.

  • Make suggestions about language that should appear in the job announcement that supports the definition and characteristics you derived for the leader of today. 
  • Provide an explanation so Jennifer knows why the specified language is important to convey the definition and characteristics of a leader;
  • Make suggestions about language that would not be in the job announcement for this leader;
  • Provide an explanation why the specific language should not be in the job announcement.
  • Not just anything is acceptable so make sure to read the course material and make wise selections in creating this memo.

The following items are required in writing the memo.  Check off to ensure compliance to the following requirements.

  • Use the grading rubric while completing the project to ensure all requirements are met that will lead to the highest possible grade.  
  • Third person writing is required.  Third person means that there are no words such as “I, me, my, we, or us” (first person writing), nor is there use of “you or your” (second person writing).  
  • Contractions are not used in business writing, so do not use them. 
  • Students will not use direct quotation marks but will instead paraphrase.  What this means is that you will put the ideas of an author or article into your own words rather than lifting directly from a source document.  You may not use more than four consecutive words from a source document (including the case scenario) or change words in a passage as doing so would require direct quotation marks.  Use a passage from a source document by putting into your own words (paraphrase) and attribute the passage to the source document.  Changing words from a passage does not exclude the passage from having to have quotation marks. If direct quotes are presented, they will not be included in the grading.
  • Use in-text citations and provide a reference list that contain a reference associated with each in-text citation. 
  • Provide the page or paragraph number in every in-text citation presented.  Refer to this link for more guidance on how to do this:

Deliverable 5 – Living Will

 

Competency

Analyze ethical and legal dilemmas that healthcare workers may encounter in the medical field.

Instructions

You have recently been promoted to Health Services Manager at Three Mountains Regional Hospital, a small hospital located in a mid-size city in the Midwest. Three Mountains is a general medical and surgical facility with 400 beds. Last year there were approximately 62,000 emergency visits and 15,000 admissions. More than 6,000 outpatient and 10,000 inpatient surgeries were performed.

An important aspect of the provider/patient relationship pertains to open communication and trust. Patients want to know that their doctors and the support staff associated with their care understand their wishes and will abide by them. Ideally, these conversations happen well before an emergency or procedure takes place; however, often times this information is missing from a patient’s file. As part of Three Mountains’ initiative to build trust with their patients, an increased emphasis has been placed on obtaining living wills from the patient as part of the intake process to ensure that the healthcare team has written directives of the patient’s wishes in case of incapacitation. You will be creating a living will for a patient and provide educational information as to why the patient should fill it out during the admission process before a procedure.

  1. Introduction: Explain the definition of a living will and its key components. This section will provide an educational overview of the document for the patient.
  2. Living Will Template: Create a living will that can serve as a template to the patients. This should cover the basic treatment issues such as resuscitation, feeding tubes, ventilation, organ and tissue donations, etc. Provide instructions in the template that can be easily altered, depending on each patient’s wishes.
  3. Summary: In this section, you will discuss the importance of this document and encourage patients to complete it. Address how this document ensures that a patient’s wishes are known and followed by the healthcare team.

NOTE – APA formatting and proper grammar, punctuation, and form required. APA help is available here.
