Imagine that you manage a department in a health care organization of your choosing. The organization recently merged with another, layoffs occurred, and departments are now being consolidated. Your department now has employees whose ages span four generations, three different cultural groups are represented, and conflict is brewing between them. The conflict is affecting performance, shift scheduling, and cooperation with other departments. 

Write a 700- to 1,050-word directive to address these conflicts. Do the following in your directive:

  • Assess the situation that your department is facing.
  • Create clear and reasonable expectations and goals to achieve cohesion, cooperation, and communication in your department.
  • Lay out a strategy to overcome these conflicts and improve workplace performance.
  • Explain how success will be measured based on your strategy and goals.
  • Consider using tables, matrices, or other visuals.
  • Evaluate what leadership traits you need to incorporate in order to lead your diverse department.

Create a 10-minute, 5- to 9-slide voice-over presentation using either Microsoft® PowerPoint® or websites like Google Slides™, Adobe® Slate, or Prezi that presents your directive to the human resources manager and chief operating manager.

Planning is the key to successful completion of this course and your overall program of study. The Individual Success Plan (ISP) assignment requires early collaboration with the course faculty and your course mentor. You will need to establish a plan for successful completion of (1) deliverables associated with weekly course objectives, (2), required practice immersion hours, and (3) deliverables associated with your capstone project.

Access the “Individual Success Plan” resource in the Topic Materials. Read the information in the resource, including student expectations and instructions for completing the ISP document.

Use the “Individual Success Plan” to develop a personal plan for completing your practice hours and how topic objectives will be met. Include the number of hours you plan to set aside to meet your goals.

A combination of 100 supervised clinical hours in community health and leadership areas will be obtained through the application of the objectives listed in the Guidelines for Undergraduate Field Experiences manual.

Practicum immersion experiences are required in a community health setting. Community-based settings should encourage community integration and involvement; expand accessibility of services and supports; promote personal preference, strengths, dignity; and empower people to participate in the economic mainstream.

According to HealthyPeople.gov, educational and community-based programs and strategies are designed to reach people outside of traditional health care settings. These settings may include schools, worksites, health care facilities, and communities. Community health and leadership practice immersion can occur in the same site and in conjunction with the evidence-based project in the NRS-490 course.

If you are a registered nurse in Washington, your practicum experience must include a minimum of 50 hours in a community health setting.

Students should apply concepts from prior courses to critically examine and improve their current practice. Students should also integrate scholarly readings to develop case reports that demonstrate increasingly complex and proficient practice.

Consider the challenges you expect to encounter as you continue the practice hour and competency requirements throughout this course. How might you overcome these challenges?

You can renegotiate these deliverables with your faculty and mentor throughout this course and update your ISP accordingly.

Once your ISP has been developed and accepted by your course faculty, you will have your course mentor sign it at the beginning of, and upon completion of, each assignment that incorporates practice immersion hours. You will track all course practice immersion hours in the ISP.

APA format is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.

You are not required to submit this assignment to LopesWrite.

must adress the 4 quadruple aim

Healthcare organizations continually seek to optimize healthcare  performance. For years, this approach was a three-pronged one known as  the Triple Aim, with efforts focused on improved population health,  enhanced patient experience, and lower healthcare costs. 

More recently, this approach has evolved to a Quadruple Aim by including  a focus on improving the work life of healthcare providers. Each of  these measures are impacted by decisions made at the organizational  level, and organizations have increasingly turned to EBP to inform and  justify these decisions. 

To Prepare: 

Read the articles by Sikka, Morath, & Leape (2015); Crabtree,  Brennan, Davis, & Coyle (2016); and Kim et al. (2016) provided in  the Resources. Reflect on how EBP might impact (or not impact) the Quadruple Aim in healthcare. Consider the impact that EBP may have on factors impacting these  quadruple aim elements, such as preventable medical errors or healthcare  delivery. To Complete: 

Write a brief analysis (no longer than 2 pages) of the connection between EBP and the Quadruple Aim. 

Your analysis should address how EBP might (or might not) help reach the Quadruple Aim, including each of the four measures of:

Organizations rely on financial statements to carry out important business decisions. The statements are typically compiled into a cohesive document, which allow managers to evaluate, based on various financial analysis methods. This process involves a comparison of ratio outcomes from the financial statements. Collectively, the ratios are used to execute financial analysis of business operations, to assess profitability and viability. This portion of the project requires you to apply financial analysis methods, choose the best method to evaluate financial outcomes for your case, and explain why this method should be used over other methods.

Submit a minimum 2-page report that:

  • Defines and describes various financial analysis methods, such as vertical and horizontal analysis.

    Explains how and why each method would be used in an organization’s financial review process.
  • Compares the similarities and differences among the methods.
  • Using the financial statements for your case, examine how at least one of the methods can be used.
    • Support your position with the actual ratio outcome(s).
    • Explain WHY this method should be used over the others, based on case financial challenges.
