...Management in the News In this paper the authors will discuss management problems in a health care organization, summarize the problem and describe the manager’s role as well as the management and/or motivation theory that applies to issue. Discuss the management motivational theory that can be applied in order to resolve the problem and how it was resolved or is in the process of being resolved. In conclusion, the authors will identify the resolution or attempted resolution and provide comments about the role of the managers. American Healthcare is in a crisis. Healthcare cost is rising too quickly and too many preventable errors occur in most hospitals around the world. The industry is struggling with cost; poor quality, nursing shortages and employee dissatisfaction are symptoms of deeper problems inherent in the systems itself. Today, a number of leading organizations are demonstrating they can provide better value through proven and tested process improvement methods. Lean is a set of methods, principles, and philosophies that form a complete management system. Health care organizations are crashing equivalently, due to an outdated management system, which is based on a command and control paradigm and this has caused many healthcare patients to die unnecessarily from this medical error. Managers are to ensure that standard work is being applied and is improving through a scientific method. Managers need verification that the standard work is followed occurs...

...The word sustainable is now commonplace in today’s society. According to Colorado.edu, “The concept of sustainability is based on the premise that people and their communities are made up of social, economic, and environmental systems that are in constant interaction and that must be kept in harmony or balance if the community is to continue to function to the benefit of its inhabitants”(www.colorado.edu,p1). One of the main principles to sustainability is to ensure the quality of life is preserved and if not improved over current conditions. This may include ensuring schools have adequate funding and up to date qualified individuals are teaching curricula, to having adequate jobs or safe streets to walk on. Each community will vary and have its own plan in place. Here at Colney & Pitts, we strive to not just take on a one-way street approach with local habitats and their residents; we take in key points to what’s best for the greater good. Some can say, but how does a big pharma company knows what’s best with all the scandal that revolves around the pharmaceutical industry? For the sake of transparency, yes there are plans to harvest the Prunus Africana tree, but we would like for the tribe to know that there are key points to ensure the continual of this rare tree. In the past years, this tree has been exploited by poachers and by excessive de-barking. The first way we chose to combat against this is to re-plant twice as many trees that we’ll de-bark. These trees will be...

...INTRODUCTION: The skeletal muscle is an important organ in the human body that allows for movement and support of the skeleton, helping the body execute various tasks from precise control movements (writing a letter or picking up a chalk) to more abrupt, powerful movements (lifting weights or running). The skeletal muscle is one of the main types of muscle in the body (the other two being cardiac and smooth muscles) that allows movement by contraction of the muscles. When a motor unit, a single nerve that innervates all the muscle fibers, activates these muscles fiber, it causes a muscle contraction. These muscle contraction occurs when motor neurons from the spinal cord leaves and activates multiple muscle fibers, the number of muscle fibers depend on the type of muscle. According to the Hennemen size principle, muscles that react rapidly and exert fine control have smaller motor units than those with larger, weight-involving muscles, whose movements are less precise, will require larger motor units. The means of movement and force generation is based on the skeletal muscles contraction. Contractile units of the skeletal muscles include thick myosin and thin actin myofillaments or fillaments. Sarcomere is the smallest contractile unit of a muscle fiber. The repetition of the sarcomere structure make up myofibrils and hundreds to thousands of these myofibrils make up a single muscle fiber (Sherwood 258). Contraction is initiated by an increased in the intracellular calcium...

...Unlike Physicist Parents * At 33 was a Fellow at Montreal Neurological Institute * Absent Stimulation Causes Deterioration and Hallucinations * First Non-American to Win APA Distinguished Scientific Contribution Award * Had an Award for Canadian Scientists Named after Himself Donald Hebb decided at an early age he did not want to be a Physicist like his parents. He had other aspirations, he wanted to write and study. At the age of 33, Hebb received a position at the Montreal Neurological Institute as a research fellow (Olson & Hergenhahn, 2009). The research Hebb conducted ultimately contributed greatly to the modern knowledge of the brain. He discovered, when there is an absence of stimulation the resulting product is the brain has more difficulty in its ability to problem solve and even to concentrate (Olson & Hergenhahn, 2009). The absence causes deterioration in the ability to do things quickly and efficiently, causing extreme difficulty. Hebb has even reported a few people who said they had experienced hallucinations from the absence of stimulation (Olson & Hergenhahn, 2009). Hebb’s research was extremely helpful in the studies of airplane pilots and of truck drivers. Many of these workers had reported having hallucinations while on the job. Hebb discovered the hallucinations were due to the fact they were not experiencing enough mental stimulation to keep their brains alert and active. From the age of 43 until he retired at the age of 68, Hebb...

...In the case of Maybelle Darcy v. Big Car Company, I think that the Judge Presiding ruling was accurate and that there was enough sufficient evidence and facts to maintain her case for sexual harassment. I feel this way for various reasons in which I will disclose. In the event that I agree that the judge ruling was accurate, I also do believe that there is only diminutive evidence to conclude whether or not Clarence was a supervisor. I also agree that If I was juror on this case, I would find that Clarence‘s conduct constituted sexual harassment and there was a hostile workplace. I believe that Clarence was a supervisor at Big Car Company for one reason. At first I thought that he was not a supervisor because in this case neither party mentioned Clarence having authority to hire or fire any of the workers. In addition, he did not have any authority to recommend any other tangible employment decisions that could affect another employee’s status at the workplace. Although this may be the case, Attorney Daggett stated that Clarence guided team members and had the ability to assign team members various tasks. As a supervisor, rather or not they are able to make tangible employment decisions does not matter. If an individual is authorized to direct another employee’s day-to-day work activities, it qualifies them as a supervisor. Clarence conduct constituted sexual harassment because it made Darcy feel uncomfortable on several occasions. There was verbal sexual harassment and...

...Economic Issues Simulation HCS 440 May 30, 2011 Professor Humberto Munoz Constructit is a business organization that currently does not offer employer paid health insurance. Constructit is compromised of 1,000 people and they are willing to pay up to $4,000 per person for their annual premium. The organization consists of 550 men and 450 women ranging in age of 26 to 45 years old. Fifty-seven percent of the workers range from high activity to moderate activity level while the remaining forty-three percent are mainly in a sitting position most of times. One factor to consider when determining which type of insurance to offer the group is the amount of health risk factors that affect all the employees. Thirty-eight percent of the employees have been deemed to have no major risk factors at all; however, almost eighteen percent of the workers are smokers and thirteen and a half percent of them suffer from some form of respiratory disease or illness. One of the biggest risk factors affecting the entire group of people is obesity. Obesity affects thirty-nine percent of these workers which in turn, increases the risk for obesity related diseases and illnesses. These diseases include but not limited to heart disease, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes. This will increase the utilization of many healthcare services including prescription drugs, diagnostic services, and outpatient office visits (University of Phoenix, 2010). Castor Collins is a regional...

...1. Describe the turning points in your play of the simulation (the major events – NOT a catalog of each decision you made) The main turning points: In the simulation which was a real project more than a game, to achieve headquarters expectations was not easy. We had to know about the market. Therefore, we decided to buy market research in the first quarter. Why did I consider this as a turning point? We could start our business without buying any market research, but with the help of this research we could found out lots information about the computer prices in all regions of the world and could make a better decision about product design and cost. From the $500,000 which we received from the Headquarter we invested $49,000 of that on market research in the first quarter. Our company e-board decided to buy market research in every quarter. With the production of the first laptop we decide to introduce our company to the market and officially start our business. In the third quarter we opened our sales offices in the two regions, Toronto and Chicago. We spent $218,000 for these offices. Beside the sales offices, advertisement is another big biggest turning point for every product. We spent $80,877 on our product ads. Our result in the fourth quarter was good. We had 16 percent of market share and our product was customers’ first choice in one of our targeted segments, Travel. 16 percent of the market share is not a small issue, but for a company that has the goal to achieve...

...The Elijah Heart Center needs to make changes on cost-cutting, funding options for equipment, and funding options for capital expansion. Doing this simulation review it will show just how to go about making these changes to save money. I will explain as to why I choose what I did in this paper. The cost-cutting options I choose were changing the skill max and reducing agency staff. The reason as to why I choose changing the skill max is to allow the nurses to focus upon their more important tasks. Nurses do not need to be doing what another individual is capable of doing those people that do not have skills. Such as answering phones, faxing documents, scheduling appointments, and so on. Receptionists are mostly unskilled and do not require a lot of training, except hands on through the office training. The nurses and other skilled professionals need to focus more on the importance of their jobs by taking care of patients. Those who are unskilled do not expect to be paid like a skilled person; with this option it is saving money for the hospital. The second option I choose was to reduce agency staff that is contracted. It is stated in the cost cutting options menu that the agency staff salaries are double of what other staff in the hospital are getting paid. There is only a need for a few agency staff in the hospital. It would allow other people to have hospital jobs which are cheaper since they are not getting the doubled salary. Whenever a contracted worker is hired for any...

...Problem-Solving Stimulation Mindi Hutchinson BEH 225 October 8, 2011 Dora Graye Problem-Solving Stimulation The problem that was presented in the activity was to get all three animals to the other side of the river, without leaving the dog alone with the cat or the cat alone with the mouse. What the activity required me to accomplish was to get the three animals across the river without leaving the dog alone with the cat or the cat alone with the mouse. The dog and mouse were able to be left alone but the cat could not be left alone with neither, the dog or mouse. I needed to remove the cat from the situation on both sides of the river to ensure the cat was not eaten or did not eat the mouse. I tried several times to take the animals across the river one after another but then tried taking the cat out of the situation on each side so the dog and mouse were left alone. I had to take the cat across the river first. Then come back and get the dog. Once the dog was dropped off on the other side, I had to pick up the cat and take it back over to the original side of the river. Then pick up the mouse and take it to the other side. Then I had to go back over to the original side of the river and pick up the cat to take it across the river. It was difficult to understand at first but once I discovered that I could take the cat back to the original side of the river it all began to make more sense to me. As I dropped off the dog, taking the cat back to get the mouse made it where...

...Employees will lost bit in amenities and some restriction on the raise of wage and salaries. JVA corporation will save almost 2% to 3% part of their net income that is spent on perks and other amenities. It may affect to employees as they will suffer from raises and other incentives but they will get benefit too as JVA will not lay out of current workers. The implementation of new strategy can affect JVA corp. due to lack of incentives or raises because it can discourage to employees and their productivity and motivation may get low. The international employees will be part of this change also. Recession is affecting every nation so JVA need to implement the changes globally. It does not matter that employees are US based or have international location, the change of strategy will be same for all otherwise it can bring frustration amont other employers and employees. As JVA Corporation is facing 17% net lose in their income and demands to cut the perks from 8 to 5 % so it will be crucial to bring effective change in the compensation system of organization. The crucial aspect of the strategy is that the all the changes that have been mentioned in JVA co-operation will continue until the recession of economy get recovered. It’s clear that the strategy I will refer best matches to the second strategy which needs to focus on “Performance, as well as revenue, that is reviewed every 6 month” As the economy get recovery prior strategies will take place again.

...The strategy simulation game is to provide insightful information with different scenarios which help in understanding the differences in different market structures of monopoly, oligopoly, monopolistic competition, and perfect competition. The overall goal of the simulation games is to maximize Quasar’s profits and be competitive by making decision on strategies in dynamic market conditions. Simply, the total revenue minus the total costs is the method to calculate a firm’s profit. However, the company also has to consider how the sales price will affect the demand. The simulation game shows that when the price is set too high, the demand will be low, vice versa. When the company set the price within the average total cost curve and the demand curve, the company can expect profit and the company can expect the profit is maximized where marginal cost equal marginal revenue. In addition, the company’s strategic decision can also affect the result in total profit and overall sales. The key of the simulation is to find out how the company should react or modify its strategy when it enters different structures of market. In the monopoly market, even though the company offers unique product and dominant the market, the pricing decision can also affect the demand. The pricing scenario is to set the price at $2550.00 to receive the maximized profit of $1.29 billion where the marginal cost equals the marginal revenue. The first scenario is the company in s a process of deciding...

...The article “Sensory Stimulation in Dementia” discusses an alternative to handling behavioral problems in senior citizen who suffer from dementia. More often than not, older individuals with dementia will experience symptoms often attributed to psychiatric patients. These include anxiety, hostility, wandering, depression, delusions, disrupted sleep, and hallucinations. The most common form of treatment for such symptoms is either institutional care or behavioral treatment. In addition to either of these approaches, however, patients often receive drugs such as antipsychotics or other sedatives in order to alleviate the effects of the dementia. The problem here is that these neuroleptics and similar drugs almost always come with their own respective side effects, including a general decrease in quality of life. One main concern here is that patients who are receiving such drugs to control their symptoms are often the patients who are already experiencing low qualities of life as is because their dementia symptoms are generally so severe. Other recent attempts at treatment include snoezelen, which is another name for controlled multisensory stimulation, where patients are exposed to a soothing and stimulating environment. In this environment, they will receive varied sensory stimulation in the forms of fiber optic lighting effects, color, sounds, music, or smells. The light treatment and aromatherapy have emerged as the two most promising approaches among these in the treatment...
