...Risk Management Program for Nunez-Walker Hospital Erika Nunez-Walker St. Petersburg College Risk Management Program for Nunez-Walker Hospital The reason for this risk management program up change is due to each department working independently to resolve its own issues. The lack of centralized reporting has led to duplicate efforts and unnecessary spending. Also relevant trends and patterns are overlooked because it never occurred to one department to share certain information with another. We would like the Board of Directors to centralize the risk management program under one division. By having a centralized risk management program it will improve communication and insight between departments. It will reduce, cut cost and improve process efficiency. It will also improve quality care, and patient safety. The risk management program will be able to achieve and maintain regulatory compliance under one division. The risk management program will play an important part in maintain compliance with State laws. They will be able to demonstrate through compliance with the with the Joint Commission standards, that the hospital is providing safe, and high quality care. Risk management and Quality Assurance will fall in the same level. One will not be higher than the other on the pyramid. According to Scollins (2008), “Quality assurance and risk management have common elements. They represent processes by which care and services are scrutinized, audited, and generate...

...INTRODUCTION Many people and organizations today have a new or renewed interest in project management. In the past, project management primarily focused on providing schedule and resource data to top management in just a few industries, such as the military and construction industries. Today’s project management involves much more, and people in every industry and every country manage projects. New technologies have become a significant factor in many businesses, and the use of interdisciplinary and global work teams has radically changed the work environment. The facts below demonstrate the significance of project management: In 2011, the average annual salary (excluding bonuses, in U.S. dollars) for someone in the project management profession was $160,409 in Switzerland (the highestpaid country), $139,497 in Australia, $105,000 in the United States, and $23,207 in China (the lowest-paid country). This survey was based on self-reported data from more than 30,000 practitioners in 29 countries.1 CareerBuilder.com found that 44% of U.S. employers listed project management as a skill they looked for in new college graduates, behind only communication and technical skills.2 Employers throughout the world, especially in Australia and Canada, echo the same request. Project management certification continues to be one of the most popular certifications throughout the world. The U.S. spends $2.3 trillion on projects every year, and the world as a whole spends...

...loss statement. It shows how much profit is left over after all expenses have been taken out. While non-profits do not make a profit in the traditional sense, they can take a portion of revenues and expand the program or purchase new equipment for use within the program. The statement of functional expenses does not represent revenues; only the total expenses incurred (or to be expended) during the fiscal year. They are common broken down in to various categories; program, management and general, fund-raising, and other normal expenditures (such as salaries, benefits, and others standard operating costs). Revenue centers are part of an organization (usually a department) which is responsible for the revenue (incoming cash) for its own department's use. While there may be some monies that cross lines with other functional departments, a percentage is earmarked as earned by a given department. This type of center allows supervisors to actively seek out funds to support their department via grants and other fund-raising operations.An expense center is similar to a revenue center, but departments are responsible for the expenses used to run their department. This allows supervisors and managers to control what expenses are paid out directly for the portion of the program they are in charge of. They can limit expenses for certain areas, while increasing expenses needed to pay for unexpected costs. It is important to know this information as employees of human services organizations...

...This paper will show the basic guidelines that can help a person responsible for negotiating. It is said that whenever two or more people exchange ideas in order to reach an agreement or understanding, they are negotiating. It does not matter if this discussion is in the living room of your home to decide what program you will watch or between two companies over what will be the breakdown of funds in a joint business venture. As we have learned during this class whether the Program Manager is asking for resources, negotiating with a vendor, or dealing with conflicts on the team, he will need to be a skilled negotiator. In 1968 Mr. Gerard Nierenberg wrote a book titled “The Art of Negotiating: Psychological Strategies for Gaining Advantageous Bargains” (1968), in it he states, “Any successful negotiator must be familiar with human behavior and able to correctly anticipate their opponent's beliefs. They must then be able to use the right techniques and tactics to satisfy both their and their opponent's needs.” Nierenberg calls this the "Need Theory of Negotiation." This paper will show that negotiation is not a game but a way of life for successful program management. When you are tasked with managing a diverse team made of people from all over the company that do not really belong to you, negotiation is always one of your most valuable tools.
