It can help any of the organizations to not only grow with the demands that need to be met in human services, but it can also help the many services that are already being used or help to implement new technology uses that are not being used at this time for instance updating their systems. Technology can be used in many ways to benefit human services businesses, organizations as well as the non-profit services. There are so many different software’s that can be used to upgrade systems, add in systems that are old-school in which it will not only benefit these places in time management, privacy, HIPPA laws and in many other areas. One challenge for human services non-profit organization is it needs the proper tools to be able to provide its community with the services that are needed. But if they do not have the tools to get the information out into the community on what services they do provide than the community not only has no idea about this organization and what they provide, but the organization actually looses too because they themselves have no clientele. The different types of strategies that can help in this particular situation would be to add different ways for clients...

(About Us) Providing both insurance and healthcare has helped the organization achieve such phenomenal success. HealthPartners has lost millions of dollars a year in funding from state and county, as well as a significant reduction in Medicare and Disproportionate Share Hospital payments. HealthPartners has been proactive in adjusting due to the changes. They were one of the first organizations to adopt a new payment model to make providers more accountable for costs and use of clinical resources. Payment is now tied to performance measured by clinical outcomes. They are also moving away from fee-for-service care, towards a bundled payment for care that rewards efficient use of resources.

...Key health issues High infant and childhood mortality rates from deadly communicable diseases. Perspective/goals Initially, the goal was to develop a medical treatment that was safe, effective, and economically feasible to be used for all births, regardless of race, creed, or culture, in the United States. Eventually, the goal included the global community with the objective of immunizing all infants and children. Role/functions In order to provide immunizations for as many children as possible protocols are in place to capture every opportunity available to administer the inoculation. Staff in pediatric practice check for childhood immunizations during each appointment by interviewing the parents, checking the computerized records. Education is an ongoing process for parents regarding the importance to their children, and the community as a whole, regarding childhood immunizations. Some of the educational instruments available were printed literature for handouts, questionnaires that will reveal why parents are resistant to childhood immunizations, and PowerPoint presentations. One of the newest forms of providing information that I have observed during recent medical appointments as the use of large screen television sets in the lobbies and waiting rooms. They continuously promote information, to a captive audience as they wait their turn to be seen by a provider. ("Www.aap.org", 2015).

...Social Responsibility and the Community NFL's Involvement and Responsibility to the Community NFL Play 60 is a campaign designed to tackle childhood obesity. Introduced in October 2007, by the National Football League, NFL Play 60’s goal is to make the next generation of youth more active and healthy by encouraging young fans to be active for at least 60 minutes every day. The NFL has dedicated over $200 million to the health and wellness of children, while also implementing in school, after school and team based programs to get children excited about being active. Childhood obesity is a national epidemic. The current generation of children is projected to be the first generation not to live longer than its parents. Only 8 percent of elementary schools provide daily physical education which has led to 33 percent of children in America being obese or at risk to be obese. NFL players from around the league have donated their time and money to encourage kids to get active. Cam Newton of the Carolina Panthers just recently did a commercial promoting the campaign as well. Players from the Washington Redskins, Baltimore Ravens, and Miami Dolphins also supported NFL Play 60 by participating in the Annual Easter Egg Roll at the White House. The players taught children that attended football skills and did some football drills with them as well. Factors that Influence the NFL's Social Responsibility A variety of factors, including education, health, and community...

...through perseverance. My activist grandmother taught me I can create change through education. My immigrant grandfather taught me that compassion and generosity can lead to personal satisfaction. My parents demonstrated hard work and personal responsibility are important values. As I matured beyond my years, I gained focus and began to make my mark. To assist other children with hidden disabilities to combat bullying, I began to educate my peers and administrators. I am proud to have improved a formerly intimidating and inefficient process, as my educational and advocacy materials were adopted by my school District to serve as a template to protect the rights of students with similar medical circumstances. Over the last 10 years, I turned my fears into assets, and developed into a successful advocate and fundraiser to support my mission to provide comfort to chronically ill patients. I became an advocate for FARE, raising over $5,000 in three months, to fund educational programs in support of individuals suffering from food allergies. Contributing locally, I began by donating my birthday presents to patients at UCSF/Children’s Hospital Oakland (CHO), followed by $6,000+ in art supplies in response to my Bar Mitzvah request. To extend my reach, I established a philanthropic group (H’art to Heart) through which I empower hundreds of students to craft get-well cards (over 12,000 delivered to date). I also taught crochet skills to students at schools and at my Temple,...
