...Cohesive Risk and Quality Management Strategies Anthony Farmer University of Phoenix 12/6/14 Cohesive Risk and Quality Management Strategies Companies are continually developing new approaches to business and relationships with their customers, requiring significant evaluation of what needs to be improved. This process of refinement is ubiquitous throughout industries, and yet, it may be particularly crucial for health care companies. Adjustments in law, such as the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), have reshaped the economics and regulations that surround these companies and the industry as a whole. In order to implement the changes these laws require, health care companies have to evaluate their efficiency of care, and how that may affect their profit margins and sustainability over time. Risk and quality management strategies are popular in most industries, and perhaps especially so in health care companies. Patients filing lawsuits for malpractice, over-occupied beds and other limitations force these corporations and organizations to have real-time accountability for their workers, and a means for determining their patients’ level of satisfaction. As the factors, laws and issues fluctuate within the health care industry, risk and quality management analyses have to become that much more nuanced. Baxter Medical is one of the foremost leaders within the health care industry, producing pharmaceuticals and various...

...Family Family and personal issues Managers face unique challenges when dealing with moral and ethical issues involving employees and their personal and/or family issues. These types of issues may change on a daily basis, especially when an employee is dealing with major illness or sudden accident in their personal life. Those are not the only issues dealt with on a continuous basis, but I believe they are major issues. At any one time people may face missing work due to a sick child, an elderly parent needing assistance, or being sick themselves. I have personally dealt with health issues which were sudden and serious. I was forced to be absent from my job for a month, and my employer has no one trained to do my work if I am absent. The result was a great deal of overtime and stress trying to catch up with missed assignments. A good manager would have trained other personnel to provide back-up coverage. I will explore this issue further in my example of an ethical workplace dilemma. In an economy that has forced both partners to work in order to provide for their family, managers face absentee employees on a regular basis. Pressure of just the main provider being at work while their partner stays at home and tends to the family very rarely exists anymore. Today we see families sharing responsibilities. Another potential ethical problem for managers is having employees who work more than one job to provide for their family. This may bring up a dilemma of loyalty...

...presented with some background information on the company and its industry in the form of `case study’. Then, as a consultant, you will be presented with some details behind a variety of current issues facing the company. This is called the ‘scenario’. These issues may or may not have been mentioned in the case study. Your role is to produce a report to the board that prioritises these current issues, discusses them and provides recommendations based on them. ©The Chartered Institute of Management Accountants Page 2 Approach The main idea behind the case study is to ensure that the consultant understands the business upon which he or she is advising (this is no less than would be necessary in a real situation). Accordingly, you should begin by reading and analysing this case study material. Analysis can take many forms and provided here is some brief guidance on areas to consider and approaches you could take: • What – so what analysis: note down the key facts from each section of the case study material (this is the `what’), then consider the implications of that fact (the `so what’.) For example suppose you were told that the business did not have a marketing director (the `what’.) The implication here is that the business may not grow to its full potential and may miss out on potential opportunities that arise (this is the `so what’.) SWOT analysis: the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of a business. This tool is probably essential in most business analyses...

...ISSUES MANAGEMENT Crisis management, at its best, is crisis avoidance. Crisis avoidance involves excellent issues management. Introduction Cigarette smoking, global warming, the future of the rain forest, obesity, healthcare costs, DNA, intensive farming, child labour; these are just a few of the subjects that have influenced the way in which business operates over the past 30 years. Issues management practice is the “identification, monitoring, and analysis of trends in key publics’ opinions that can mature into public policy and regulatory or legislative constraint of the private sector” We will argue that the successful issues manager recognises when an issue had changed or has the power to change the context in which business operates; is able to pinpoint a specific threat or opportunity to a specific industry, company or product, in a specific part of the world at a specific point in time; and can execute a series of actions to do something about it while remaining vigilant for any shifts in interpretation that need new thinking. Issues Management: defining the field What is an Issue? It will come as no surprise to discover that there are many definitions of an issue. Chase and Jones describe an issue as “an unsettled matter which is ready for decision.” Others suggest that, in its basic form, an issue can be defined as a point of conflict between an organization and one or more of its audiences. A simple definition that we like to use is that an issue represents...

...Enterprise Risk Management Lori Abbott Law 531 September 24, 2012 Charles Burr Enterprise Risk Management Enterprise risk management (ERM) is the latest name for a risk management approach to business risks. Forerunners of this term include corporate risk management, business risk management, strategic risk management, integrated risk management, and holistic risk management (D'Arcy, 2001). Implementing the techniques of ERM will allow businesses to manage any potential tort issues and manage any potential civil suit cases. Tort is defined as a wrongful act or damage done willfully or negligently. The circumstances involving a tort can be strict liability or breach of contract that can bring about a civil suit (Cheeseman, 2010). This paper will provide potential tort risks that arose in the product liability video between Non-Linear Pro (NLP) and Quick Takes Video (QTV), identify a tort violation, and apply the 7-step process of enterprise risk management to mitigate the business risk associated with the violation. Potential Risks Some of the potential risks for NLP are the editing system has taken longer to set up, it has defects in manufacture and design, and it is an inferior product that did not meet the expectations of QTV. QTV leased the editing system from NLP with the understanding the new editing system would save QTV a substantial amount of time. The fact the videos had to be digitalized before the editing system could used was not mentioned...

...food during breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Eastern Foods has proposed that Kuala Lumpur will be the location for its Malaysia’s Head Office. However, the size of the head office cannot be decided until the Malaysia organisation structure for Eastern Foods has been finalised. Eastern Foods has targeted that the Malaysia organisation structure be fully operational in six months for its inaugural opening all across Malaysia. However, the board of directors of Eastern Foods agreed that there are important issues that need to be addressed by the Malaysia organisation structure and they have raised concerns on the four crucial aspects of the business, which are Human Resource Management, Accounting, Marketing, and Operations Management. By addressing and resolving the issues that stem from these four business aspects, the Malaysia plan can be developed smoothly.

...1. In a narrative format, summarize the key facts and issues of the case. The key facts of this case include Imus’ performance and history as a 28-year veteran shock-jock, his employment by CBS and MSNBC, his controversial and off-color comments against a girl’s basketball team, and CBS’ response to the matter. The issues include the remarks made by Imus’, was the response by CBS timely and appropriate and what could have been improved upon in preparation and execution of their crisis management approach. Also, was CBS strategic in their execution of their damage control? Should Imus have continually remained in the media empathetically apologizing then saying he had apologized enough? 2. Update the information in the case by researching it on the Internet. Focus your response on the specific issues in the case. The case study provided by the text provides limited information in the summary. Although it includes the incident, a little history of Imus and CBS’ response, it is vague as to how the matter became so public and why CBS would severe a $40 million contract with one of the nation’s most revenue-producing jock (Press, 2007). Further research reveals the history of Imus’ profession as a highly sought after shock jock, the efforts behind his firing, CBS’ reaction, responses and their inadvertent handling of the matter. The employment contract was extended to Imus by CBS in 2006 because he was a shock-jock of the nation and because his controversy and...

...and carnival float parade. This is a public event with a large number of attendees; therefore it must provide a safe environment for anyone located at the event. The event organisers prior to the event will carry out risk assessments to identify and risks or hazards during the event. I will go into detail the risks associated with the people involved in the assembly of the event prior to commencement, as well as the risks associated with issues such as motorised floats during the carnival procession, including risks to members of the general public. Goldblatt and Nelson (2001) describe a risk assessment as a profile of a particular event, that considers all potential risks and threats that could arise. Please see Appendix 1; which outlines the risks identified at Fowey Royal Regatta. The first risk outlined in the risk assessment involves the floats from the carnival parade. The floats have the potential to collide with entrants and buildings (especially with the narrow road access in and around Fowey town). They also have a potential issue with falling objects hitting members of the public. When observing the event, I noticed no precautions set up for falling objects, however the event has set out requirements for the floats to be no higher than a particular height specified. Reducing the size of the floats, helps the manoeuvrability along the narrow routes. There is also specific float stewards which help direct the floats and prevent the floats from...
