This unit’s Supplemental Resources includes some health care management “Hot topics for 2013” that can serve as a starting point for your topic identification.

Instructions

1. Assume you are employed by the Midtown Rehabilitation Center as an intake interviewer. How do you answer the following application questions that frequently arise during this initial meeting? Write your response to each question.

• How often will I come to see you?
• Can I reach you after the center closes?
• What happens if I forget an appointment?
• Is what I tell you confidential?
• What if I have an emergency?
• How will I know when our work is finished?
• What will I be charged for services?
• Will my insurance company reimburse me?

1. Review the questions you were not able to answer. What information do you need in order to answer those questions? Where can you get that information?

HR Processes and Functions 

Part A (Chapter 12) 

1. First, read the article, “HRIS Performance Monitoring Plan”. Based on the article and your textbook, please respond to the following questions: 

2.  Explain your previous or current organization’s performance management,  compensation, benefits, and payroll system. Can these systems be  accessed via one HRIS or does your organization use multiple systems?  Explain. 

3.  Do you think your organization performance management, compensation,  benefits and payroll system are effective? Why or why not? What  recommendations would you make to improve those systems? 

Part B (Chapter 13) 

4.  Do you work for an international organization or, does your  organization recruit globally? What are some HR programs in global  organizations? Compare and contrast domestic recruitment and selection  to international recruitment and selection. How are they similar and  different? If you have experience working abroad, please share your  experiences as it relates to HR processes and functions. 

NOTE: MORE THAN ONE ANSWER POSTED CHOOSE ANY

Discussion is to be submitted in 12-point Times New Roman font using APA format with a minimum of two sources.

The project is aimed at the process of management and its functions in real organizations and the legal, moral, and ethical dilemmas we face as individuals and in our roles as part of the managerial process.  Further, each situation will be fraught with ethical considerations and ramifications. you will search, discuss, analyze, and report information. you will play both roles() . The point is that as managers, clarity of thought influences not only the quality of their life but all those who work for them.  As decision-makers, managers often need to be willing to take a position and try to influence others to make a decision that they try to promote.  To be effective, they should be willing and able to describe their rationale for the choice they made.  

After a topic is assigned, you will develop PowerPoint slides to support their position (20 slides max, not including references slides listing your sources). each person may clarify/defend their position.  Furthermore, the instructor may also question if they feel a position lacks merit. Additionally, instructors will look at the quality of your questions and answers to other students and at the end, a student’s rationale for choosing one side of an argument over the other.

The point of this exercise is to help each of you develop clarity of thought. Be advised that instructors may ask pointed questions from each student to determine whether the basis of a position is an opinion or rationally based ideas on these topics.  Just as with other assignments, facts, figures, and expertise, carry a lot more weight when arguing a position that does opinion alone.

Give the instructor and other students facts when arguing positions.  Facts, data, and analysis in addition to insight are all potent tools in any manager’s arsenal.  Finally, please note that some positions will be easier to argue than others when grading, instructors will take that into consideration as well.  So even if it seems the other side has an easier position to defend, instructors will compensate for that issue.

Assignment   2 (15%): Process Mapping of a Quality Improvement Initiative

Process   Mapping:   Students are required to research an existing health care organization of   their choice. In your research you should identify a quality improvement (QI)   initiative that will improve the way patient care is delivered at the   facility.

Provide a brief description   articulating why the QI is important and how the quality of patient care will   be improved as a result of the QI. In addition, identify an executive, team   lead, and staff member as the stakeholders who are responsible for the   implementation of the QI and explain what roles they play in the implementation of   the objective.   It will be necessary to generate a flow chart that specifically emphasizes   the steps necessary for implementing the QI as well as the position that is   most appropriate for performing the tasks and exact duties of the step. 

Formatting:
