...Risk Management with Medication Administration Victoria Ferguson National University HTM 680 Robert Kaye June 29, 2013 Risk Management with Medication Administration Medication administration is an act that can go very wrong very fast. Sometimes it can be corrected and sometimes the patient dies. The benefit of learning from our mistakes is that we learn what not to do in the future. Mistakes with such high risks involved should always be investigated thoroughly and checkpoints should be put in place. This is where risk management comes in to play. First thing to do is identify the risk. In the Children’s Hospital case it was the miscalculation of dosage which ended in a severe overdose to a child. Next step is to assess the situation. Figure out what exactly went wrong every step of the way (creating a flow chart is a good tool for this as it helps to visualize the steps). Finding blame and arguing is non-productive and should be held to a minimum. Children’s Hospital approached this subject quite well. They gathered together a group and were not told the name of the patient or the staff that were involved in the incident. Emotions can really get in the way of progress and when dealing with the safety of lives, you need a solid focus. The next step is to manage the information that has been produced along with a new plan of action for the future executions of medicine administration. Everyone should be trained well on the new procedure. There is a basic...

...CASE STUDY #1 New Administrative Assistant in the Research Branch Mohammad R Irshad MGMT 5613 (2012) 05/20/2012 Dr. Don M. Hull Situation Audit I am the lead researcher for a nonprofit management development firm located in Minneapolis, MN. Since I travel most of the time I hired a new administrative assistant about six months ago to (a) keeping track of the branch's $300,000 budget; (b) making your travel arrangements and providing you with graphics and word processing support; and (c) providing administrative support for the other four members of the research branch. Sue’s performance has been less than satisfactory especially in the last month. Sue will often put in a full eight hour day, even overtime, but still not complete all of her job responsibilities without help from the other members in the research branch. Unfortunately, failing to keep up with the research branch budget is not Sue's only workrelated problem. Although Sue is very good at following clear instructions and completing projects and tasks she has previous experience with (except the budget), Sue is not very good at thinking through the requirements of new tasks and projects. All of the other branch members have worked for me for over two years, and I have developed a close working relationship with each one of them. Because of this relationship, the other members of the branch have privately told me how dissatisfied they are with Sue's performance; they feel their energies are being drained...

...Chapter 1 1 INTRODUCTION Background of the Study Shifting of course is a way of college students to change their chosen program to another that may have been caused by many incompatibility to compete in that specific program. Choosing a course is difficult. A lot of factors are to be considered. Choosing to pursue it or not is more difficult. Even the brightest student fails in class sometimes. On the other hand, it is unhealthy to force a student into something that he is not happy with. It will only result todisappointments and regrets in the future. The first year is adeciding period for most students as to whether they will pursue their respective degrees or shift to another. It is the year when students begin to question the significance of their subjects to their courses. If the course does not meet the demands of students it may cause failure or boredom that makes them shift.True dedication to studies cannot be easily disrupted by unpromising class performance. Although the choice of what course to pursue is often based on practical reasons, there are students who are driven by a “true calling.” These are students who are truly passionate with what they are taking up now. They cannot be easily disheartened by unsatisfactory quiz and exam results.Grades can serve as a basis when choosing between shifting and staying. However, passion is the ultimate determinant in finalizing one’s decision. ...

...GSA Wants You Strayer University Bus 330 – Contract Administration and Management Professor Antoinette Bridges May 30, 2014 Abstract GSA is focused on giving the merchant group the vital preparations and tools required for them to seek work with the Federal Government. In doing this mission, GSA's Office of Small Business Utilization has devoted its assets to teaching the small business entrepreneur with continued support in training. Stanberry, S. A. (2013). GSA Wants You Describe the electronic submission process and the security measures present in this approach. Analyze the advantages over classic paper solicitations. According to Stanberry (2013), the electronic Subcontracting Reporting System (eSRS) is a web-based government-wide subcontracting system that allows electronic submission of applications from potential contractors. The system will manage the receiving, revisions and rejections of applications submitted through the eSRS system. The information received into the system can generate reports and analyses of subcontracting data in real-time. The eSRS process helps to create a green environment by reducing the paperwork submitted, killing less trees. It also reduces the errors, less time to process the applications, allows for electronic signatures, papers are not lost and it makes the process less time consuming on the subcontractors. The electronic Subcontracting...

...selected to improve morale at Wheeling Hospital. Arguments will be evaluated and revised resulting in a refined and final solution to the problem. Original Issue Wheeling Hospital is adding a fifth tower and the time for departments to move into the new, advanced tower is approaching quickly. Chief executive officer Ron Violi thinks the transition is an exciting time for him and his staff members. It was a major shock to Violi when he learned more than three quarters of his staff was unhappy and not excited for the move into the new tower. Through close observation of my fellow coworkers, I discovered the discontent and feelings of frustration. These feelings originated because of the lack of communication from administration relating to tower five. Staff members are unaware their expectations, their workload, or how they are supposed to function without knowledge of where equipment, departments, and items necessary to perform their duties are located. Staff members have concerns about shortages and are not notified of any changes or updates relating to the new tower. The morale at the hospital is low and staff members need motivation to have success in tower five. Initial Solutions With the importance of the success of tower five to the community, coworkers, and my career on my mind, I dove into my imagination and brainstormed for solutions. Initial solutions included: ▪...

...I. First essay Future Goals in Life, why I chose my majors: I plan on majoring in Business Administration and Political Science. I chose Business Admin as my first major because it was a good solid major with good job opportunities; in particular I want to be in Health Administration. The health care business is something that will be around as long as there are people who are going to be hurt and nurses and doctors who need people over them. My second choice is Political Science because I've always had an interest in several of the jobs offered in the field. Foremost, I've always wanted to be an FBI criminal profiler, psychology is something I've always loved and wanted to pursue ever since I was a child. When I was in middle school I got my hands on a college psychology textbook and ever since then, I've been learning. I wanted to choose it as my first choice major but with the economy and the amount of money it would require to start a practice I had to desist from pursuing it, with this major I would have a chance to work in the government and pursue my childhood dream of studying the human mind. Another interest, being a lobbyist, my own personality helps add to this I believe; I'm very stubborn and I love to argue for what I believe is right. I have a lot I want to achieve and I know people say this a lot, but I will be successful with whatever I put my mind too, by God’s grace. II. Second Essay, Issues I feel strongly about: An issue that's always haunted me...

...1. Describe five factors that may lead you to create multiple domains for this organization. a. Decentralized administration – If the company doesn’t plan to centralize domains into one model, this factor would be a good choice due to the fact that the company has multiple branches in multiple locations. Each domain acts as a kind of security boundary which will only allow administrators within that domain to work only in that domain; for example, an administrator in England would not have privileges to work within a domain that is located in California. b. Geographic limitations – Due to the fact that the company has multiple locations scattered globally, links or data transfer may be slow if the entire network is under one domain. This alone doesn’t give enough reason for multiple domains, the main reason is so that an administrator will have control over his/her region and not have to contact another administrator halfway across the world. c. Unique DNS namespace considerations – If multiple organizations want to use similar registered namespaces, multiple domains are needed because each registered namespace has to be on a separate domain. d. Special password policies – password policies are setup on the domain lever so to separate the different policies multiple domains have to be setup. e. Enhanced security concerns – separating the schema master role into a different domain than what your users on can increase the security by nit having everything in...
