...Central Michigan University Seymour Johnson AFB/Global Campus MSA 501-Managing Change with Emotional Intelligence Dr. Bonnie Anderson September 13, 2015 Emotional Skill Assessment Submitted by Tina Williamson Abstract I have questioned myself several times about my leadership style since becoming a supervisor with my current employer. I must admit that I accepted my position without a clue of how to effectively supervise others. I’m learning that becoming a great leader takes time and clearly doesn’t happen overnight, especially if you are not a “born” leader. However, I believe that continuous training and education will improve my leadership skills. This paper will consist of several things to include: four different surveys and tallying up the scores to reflect my degree of emotional intelligence, assessments and scores that identify my strengths and weaknesses, and skills that I could use to improve my emotional intelligence to be an effective leader. I believe that there are different types of leadership styles in the workplace. Some people were assigned to be leaders from their mother’s womb and others require training. The style of a leader depends on three things: beliefs, values and skills. The characteristics of a good leader should consist of honesty, respectfulness, sense of humor, the ability to inspire and encourage, good communication skills, flexibility, confidence and commitment. I participated...

Introduction and background information There are over 2000 flats situated in the Barbican Estate, the area surrounding the Barbican Centre. The Estate has two channels already in place which deal with issues on behalf of residents. These are: • The Barbican Association: a committee which represent residents’ views to the freeholder and manager of the Estate, the City of London.

Historically we have only heard from other...

...We do not seek to provide a cure, but to ensure that my residents enjoy the last years of their lives safely and comfortably. Working in this type of setting provides me with the ability to adapt to individual needs, and allows me to build long-term relationships with my residents. Additionally, working in this setting for 4 months has enhanced problem-solving and crisis management skills. I often will be in the position where I must respond to emergency situations and make quick decisions on my own. Sometimes several residents may call for help (via E-Call system) when I am pressed for time. My first few such experiences identified my weakness in dealing with crises, I have since learned to assess the situation calmly and efficiently and make sure each resident is safe and comfortable before moving on to the next, while also communicating with other residents of the circumstances so they are not waiting too long. The skills that I have learned have provided me with the foundation for trusting relationships with my residents. If they have confidence in my abilities, I am able to connect more deeply with my residents and to truly have an impact on their...

...Doctor Shortage Impacts Rural Areas Jean Larsen Senior Project Kristi Hund March 1, 2011 Abstract The United States is experiencing a substantial shortage of physicians, which is creating a severe supply and demand problem in America. Citizens living in rural areas should receive the same quality of care as those living in urban settings. Substantial differences exist in quality and access to health care for persons living in rural America. The shortage of physicians in rural America calls for immediate attention and change, as the inadequate supply of physicians is affecting the quality of patient care. The life expectancy of persons living in rural America is actually declining due to treatable conditions such as diabetes, cancer, heart disease and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. These illnesses could be managed with proper medical treatment. This paper addresses these issues and recommends two solutions. Healthcare is in crisis in many countries, not least of which is the United States. We hear on the news how health care providers are unable to provide medical care to an increasing number of chronically ill and the aging population. There are a number of systemic failures, none is more difficult to correct than the basic lack of human resources. There are simply not enough physicians to service the needs of the population. The problem is intensified in rural areas, where specialized physicians may not be found within several hundred miles. The healthcare...

...Professional Regulation and Criminal Liability in Delaware Lorna J. Granston 05/26/14 HCS 430 Dr. J. Kaplan There are statutes that regulate health care professional on a federal level. It can be difficult to regulate professional on that level, therefore, there are also regulatory bodies on the State level. Regulatory statutes on the State level can offer specific policy and procedures for professional licensure, credentialing, certification and registration for those in health care. Each State in responsible for having specific regulation. Per the American Medical Association (AMA),” the process of obtaining a medical license--either initial licensure or a second or subsequent license in another state--can be a challenging process” (American Medical Association, 2014). The state statutes can be more complicated, but they ensure that professionals are properly prepared to perform health care services for a specific community. In Delaware there are state laws that are followed by state regulatory agency. The Registrar’s office which is part of Delaware’s General Assemble is responsible for the Administrative Code of Regulations and the Delaware On-line Statutory Code.

...Currently when making decisions I become torn with what I want to make the patient happy and what my boss is telling me to patient. An example of this, when evaluating a patient I determine how many hours of a personal care assistant they will receive per week. I always think about the patient first before thinking about what is going to save my job money; and this is my constant struggle. Altruism is something I believe is the reason I became a nurse. Autonomy The state of existing or acting separately from others. My current job autonomy is necessary. Working in hospitals and nursing homes the majority of my nursing career, becoming completely autonomous was like culture shock for me. In a hospital you have co-workers, doctors, PT, Pharmacy all at your fingertips for information or advice and just help. Working out in the community was hard for me at first because I was not use to being completely alone. I did learn a lot with this job and have grown tremendously, since starting. Autonomy is very important because you have to rely on yourself and you this sense of independence and freedom. Freedom is the most important part that I love because my schedule is extremely flexible which is great for my daughter and I. Human Dignity Is the quality of...

...and social care, understand the legalities and policies and be aware of the situation that you work within. This allows care staff to provide adequate care to the service users and allow them to feel safe knowing that they are being protected against any harm whilst protecting yourself. Social processes, such as poverty, unemployment, and disability, can impact users of health and social care services. When assisting service users it is important to have an understanding and a knowledge of various structures. Individuals that are born into poverty more than likely come from a lower socio-economic background or area and have a higher rate of being unemployed, lowering their chance opportunity. Unemployment may contribute to a person becoming poor as they might have lost a job that they already held. Mental and physical disabilities can also have an impact on unemployment as an individual may not have the same opportunities as someone who is more able. This may be the situation if an individual is either born with a disability or acquires one in later life. Poverty, unemployment and disabilities can have severe impacts on a person’s life, including depression, drug or alcohol addictions or abuse, homelessness or may lead to some mental health issues. In some cases a service user might have previous history or emotional poverty and/or domestic violence or they could have history of alcohol and/or drug abuse. This can have an adverse effect on their children or other family members...

...Health Informatics and Healthcare Introduction Health informatics as defined by Shi and Singh 2015, as the application of information science to improve efficiency, accuracy, reliability of healthcare service, and inclusion of healthcare delivery. Healthcare informatics is becoming more complex than any other time in recent memory, the foundation needed to bolster device utilization and interoperability is more expanded, and there is even a more extensive scope of utilization to consider. As the populace ages, there is added pressure to provide patient care choices at home and in the community, implying that medical devices are getting to be a piece of a much bigger ecosystem spreading over the steadily developing continuum. This paper will analyze health informatics and discuss its benefits, trends, current issues, the impact health informatics in healthcare settings, and the role of health managers and the future. An interview will be conducted with a health professional to get their point of view of how health informatics have impacted their workplace, with further discussion of human resources, careers and the future. History The U.S. National Library of Medicine defines health informatics as a collaborative effort of designing, developing, adopting, and applying IT-based ideas in healthcare services delivery, management and planning (Kramer, 2012). In 1949, Gustav Wager of Germany founded the first professional organization for...

...Profession Amber L. Boyd Grand Canyon University NRS-430V Professional Dynamics February 2nd, 2014 Change is always vital to progress and the field of nursing is constantly in change. The world that we live in today is creating a higher need for more nurses, changing the way that nurses are educated and creating new approaches to utilize nurses out in the field. On October 5th, 2010, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) released the report “The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health.” The report elaborates on the need for the nursing profession to prepare for the changes that are occurring due to the health care reform and the current transformation that our healthcare system is enduring. It is becoming more and more apparent that the methods in which nurses have been educated in the past are no longer adequate for dealing with the new changes in current patient care. As patient care needs have become more multifaceted, nurses are having to refine their skills and obtain higher levels of learning to ensure that superior care is truly being delivered. The level of education required by nurses to sit for their license and enter into the profession of nursing has been a topic of debate for many years. As of now each state’s Board of Nursing regulates the standards that are required. Typically a Bachelor’s degree is much more desired by most hospital and community employers’. It is expected that as nursing care needs become more involved...
