...Running head: HAT Task 2 1 HAT Task 2 Anita Worley Community Health Practice March 27, 2013 Western Governor’s University A. Personal Perceptions As a Registered Nurse for thirteen years in an acute care hospital setting, I have tended to many dying patients. It is my personal belief that quality of life and health promotion are imperative to the care of the terminally ill patient. Personally, I am a big fan of palliative care nursing. The World Health Organization (WHO) defines palliative care as “an approach that improves the quality of life of patients and their families facing the problem associated with life-threatening illness, through the prevention and relief of suffering by means of early identification and impeccable assessment and treatment of pain and other problems, physical, psychosocial, and spiritual.” B. Strategies Improving Mrs. Thomas’ quality of life would comprise of assisting her with her increased level of pain, limited amount of emotional support, and financial concerns. Firstly, Mrs. Thomas’ physical comfort needs addressed immediately. As evidenced by the patient spending large amounts of her day crying in bed, her pain is not under control. As her nurse, I would listen to her fears about addiction, but discuss quality of life versus drug addiction. I would explain how once her pain is tolerable, she will be able to assume a more productive, engaged role in her own life. Secondly, addressing Mr. and Mrs. Thomas’ financial...

...Community Health Nursing: Quality of Life and Functioning A. Personal Perceptions After reviewing the case of Mrs. Thomas and her situation, there are many feelings I have about the final outcome. As nurses, we always have to take our feelings into account and rationalize what we feel about the health and well being of our patients. After a BRAC analysis was performed, significant results were indicated. I feel empathy for Mrs. Thomas because this technology showed what her odds were for future recurrence of breast cancer. I’m disappointed that a radical mastectomy was not suggested to be performed with Mrs. Thomas’ first surgery to help avoid a further decline. It appears almost obvious that this should have been encouraged by her medical team. I do, however, understand that it is easier to look back on this than to look forward with what options remain. What is most important is Mrs. Thomas’ quality of life for the duration of what time she has left. I define quality of life as the ability to be as emotionally, physically and mentally fulfilled as possible. Quality of life is finding all the moments that matter and cherishing them on a daily basis. There will be better days than others, but what is key is to understand the big picture. The major challenge is promoting the best quality of life when the big picture ultimately has a poor outcome. Health promotion is crucial to increase Mrs. Thomas’ quality of life. Interventions will be initiated in all areas...

...Risk Prioritization and Mitigation Project Plan Definition White Hat Inc will develop a risk prioritization and mitigation plan per instructions in the RFP. White Hat Inc will define risks as their priority to the company in terms of their impact on the company. White Hat will also help to define mitigation plans to resolve these risks. We will use several factors to prioritize risk and place each risk into one of three categories High, Medium and Low. To determine what category each risk will be placed we will use the following set of questions and definitions: • Define the Risk • Impact of the Risk on Physical or network aspect of the business • Cost of the Risk • Impact on Compliance • Recovery time and cost of lost business Throughout our audit we will generate several reports on the current status of IT security for The State. To Prioritize Risks for The State faces we will review these reports that include: • IT Security Compliance and Governance Gap Analysis • Data Privacy Legal Requirements and Compliance Requirements • Security Assessment • Data Privacy Security Gap • Security Assessment and Risk Identification • Qualitative Risk Assessment Definition of Risk Categories: • High- exploit of vulnerability that has a high cost to the organization's mission and reputation. This could also entail a risk of death or injury to humans. • Medium- exploit of a vulnerability where the cost of a resource would cause notable loss to the organization's mission...

...| Information based decision making | Unit 5002V1 | | | 4/1/2015 | Task 1 (600-700 words): A.C.1.1 – Examine the nature of data and information Data comprises of factual information. Data are the facts from which information is derived. Data is not necessarily informative on its own but needs to be structured, interpreted, analysed and contextualised. Once data undergoes this process, it transforms in to information. Information should be accessible and understood by the reader without needing to be interpreted or manipulated in any way. Knowledge is the framework for understanding information and using it to inform judgements, opinions, predictions and decisions – a pyramidal relationship (See diagram 1) Diagram 1: There are 2 types of knowledge: 1) Explicit knowledge (“know that”) – derived from facts, easily communicated via hard data and facts and 2) Tacit knowledge (“know how”) – more of a personal framework informed by beliefs, schemata, mental frameworks, difficult to verbalise or write down, more based on process rather than factual content. In the field of knowledge management, tacit knowledge is individual specific and can be acquired without language through observation and practice. This type of knowledge is acquired through experience, and therefore from a knowledge management perspective, shared experiences are a key platform to share tacit knowledge. A clinical example: The Trust has a standard assessment proforma for new patients...

...SEMINAR PAPER Creative Techniques for Problem Solving Korbinian Dennerlein H0954189 Strategy, Innovation & Management Control Vienna University of Economics and Business Course: 5876 Personal skills -‐ Problem solving Instructor: Desislava Vacheva (BSc.MSc.) Korbinian Dennerlein H0954189 CREATIVE TECHNIQUES Innovation and creativity foster and generate a crucial resource in today’s constantly changing business environment. It is essential to handle this resource carefully and to act target oriented in order to gain a sustainable competitive advantage. Nevertheless, it is important not to lose focus on the core business and to keep the balance between exploitation and exploration. Therefore, it is important to apply creativity in the right way. This application should preserve the stable and working organization from being too chaotic. A general way to divide the various approaches is to cluster them into divergent and convergent techniques. Divergent techniques aim at generating a high number of ideas in order to have a wide range of possible solutions to choose from. In comparison, convergent techniques deal with a certain problem and search step-by-step for a single right solution.1 In the beginning of this paper I want to explain one divergent concept in...

It is that time of the year for women to let their southern belle out. Billowing dresses and skirts as well as large embellished hats are considered the norm rather than an exception.

...JIELIANG PHONE HOME CASE STUDY PROBLEM STATEMENT Jieliang (DL) is a line worker at Precision Electro-Tech’s Dongguan, China manufacturing plant. During a plant walk through, Marty Cole (OEM – Global Team) witnessed Jieliang being publicly disciplined in front of her fellow line workers for not following Total Quality Control (TQC) procedures and using her own method. ANALYSIS Precision Electro-Tech is a large contract manufacturer (CM) that produces products (i.e., cell phones) for another company or OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer). “In the case of complex assembly tasks, if those tasks can be broken down into simple unit manufacturing steps that can be completely specified, they can be sent to low-cost countries like China where unskilled labor can be trained to follow those steps in detail. This business concept is known as “labor arbitrage” and is the foundation of the global economy and outsourcing (Shih, Bernstein, Bilimoria, 2009).” The above business model of CMs is a tried and true paradigm and is consistent with the lean principles of manufacturing. While this model is widely used, particularly in outsourcing operations; the key is that each step must be clearly defined, delineated, and rigidly followed in order to maximize productivity. The advantage of the CM approach is that it allows OEMs to specify the exact steps in the manufacturing process; ostensibly, to ensure exact specifications and a high level of quality control and efficiency. The nature...

...#1: Passing the Hat AS a start-up, executives need to be prepared to wear more than one functional hat to be successful. As you scale, however, you must carefully oversee the process of passing those hats to new executives and managers that join the team. This looks easy on paper (just draw up the new org chart), but it can prove extremely challenging in practice. While it is easy to pass the hat in form, it may not be easy to pass the hat in substance when the on-boarding of the new hat owner is arduous, i.e., big learning curve, lots of important internal relationships, and so forth. As long as the old hat-owner offers greater knowledge and effectiveness in the relevant functional area, everyone in the organization will gravitate to her for decisions and support, regardless of what the new org chart says. The problem can be further exacerbated if the old hat owner isn’t all that willing to pass the hat in the first place or if the old hat owner is too willing and runs away from the responsibility faster than the new executive can get up to speed. Poor hat passing can result in confusion, frustration, conflict, executive turnover and ultimately poor business performance. Hat passing is tricky business that requires the buy-in all of all those affected, a solid foundation of respect between the two hat-passers, and a thoughtful approach to managing the transition. Without these fundamentals in place as you are scaling, you may find that you are dropping more hats than you are...
