Entries are to be made on the assigned week using the D2L Dropbox

Directions:

Each Reflection in Action Entry should be at least 400 words in length and is due on Sunday at the end of each week in D2L Dropbox. Discuss and reflect on the topic in terms of:

  • How the content and assignments met the course objective(s)?

HA530-3: Research compensation and benefits options within the healthcare industry.

 Instructions

As a Human Resource Manager, the board has asked you to research compensation and benefits options within the healthcare industry to ensure your company is competitive and can expect to attract top notch healthcare staff.

Imagine you are the Human Resources Director of an assisted living facility.

 1. Your Board has asked you to explain how employee and career development activities ensure a competitive working environment.

 2. The Board has asked you to rank and explain the four career development stages in order of employer responsibility and involvement for the assisted living facility. How will you use knowledge of career development stages to ensure a competitive working environment?

3. Also, the Board is interested in your explanation of the Holland vocational preferences and how you will use this important model to determine the best job fit for healthcare staff with two examples.

4. Lastly, the Board is interested in your opinion whether a mentor program would be of benefit at your facility. Would you provide this option to your healthcare staff why or why not?

The Occupational Information Network (O*NET) understand today’s world of work in the United States.

Requirements

You need to create a PowerPoint presentation for a Board of Directors (10–12 slides; speaker notes as needed to support assertions). Keep slides in the order of the questions given. Be sure to support your assertions with evidence-based research, scholarly articles, and well-supported strategies that support your work. Although the use of APA citing is not required for this assignment, proper grammar, spelling, and punctuation are expected. Add sources to the last slide using APA format. Use of art and graphics suggested.

Throughout the RN-to-BSN program, students are required to participate in scholarly activities outside of clinical practice or professional practice. Examples of scholarly activities include attending conferences, seminars, journal club, grand rounds, morbidity and mortality meetings, interdisciplinary committees, quality improvement committees, and any other opportunities available at your site, within your community, or nationally.

You are required to post one scholarly activity while you are in the BSN program, which should be documented by the end of this course. In addition to this submission, you are required to be involved and contribute to interdisciplinary initiatives on a regular basis.

Submit, as the assignment, a summary report of the scholarly activity, including who, what, where, when and any relevant take-home points. Include the appropriate program competencies associated with the scholarly activity as well as future professional goals related to this activity. You may use the “Scholarly Activity Summary” resource to help guide this assignment.

While APA format is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and in-text citations and references should be presented using APA documentation guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.

Translating Evidence into Clinical Practice  Choose one evidence-based practice that you see yourself using as a provider in your clinical practice and discuss how it meets the listed benefits.  Why should we, as healthcare providers, use evidence-based practice?  Evidence-based practice benefits: •Leads to highest quality care and patient outcomes •Reduces health care costs •Reduces geographic variations in the delivery of care •Increases healthcare provider empowerment and role satisfaction •Reduces healthcare provider turnover rate •Increases reimbursement from 3rd party payers •Reduces complications and payment denials •Meets the expectation of an informed public  Include 3 evidence-based articles to support your work that are less than 3 years old.  Before finalizing your work, you should: •be sure to read the Assignment description carefully (as displayed above); •consult the Grading Rubric (under the Course Home) to make sure you have included everything necessary; and •utilize spelling and grammar check to minimize errors.  Your writing Assignment should: •follow the conventions of Standard English (correct grammar, punctuation, etc.); •be well ordered, logical, and unified, as well as original and insightful; •display superior content, organization, style; and •use APA 6th Edition format as outlined in the APA Progression Ladder.

 APA style with citation, needs 3 credible sources reference not later than 2013.

Discussion

Patients with endocrine and musculoskeletal disorders often require long-term treatment and care resulting in the need for extensive patient education. By appropriately educating patients, advanced practice nurses can assist patients with the management of their disorders. In clinical settings, patients with endocrine and musculoskeletal disorders typically seek treatment for symptoms that pose problems to their everyday lives as ordinary tasks may become difficult to complete. For instance, patients might have difficulty walking short distances, preparing meals, or even running errands. To reduce these symptoms and additional health risks, it is essential to develop drug therapy plans with individual patient factors in mind.

To prepare:

  • -Select one of the following endocrine or musculoskeletal disorders: thyroid disease, osteoarthritis, rheumatic arthritis, gout, multiple sclerosis, or fibromyalgia. Consider the types of drugs that would be prescribed to patients to treat symptoms associated with this disorder.
  • -Select one of the following factors: genetics, gender, ethnicity, age, or behavior. Reflect on how this factor might impact the effects of prescribed drugs, as well as any measures you might take to help reduce negative side effects.

With these thoughts in mind:

By Day 3

Post a description of the endocrine or musculoskeletal disorder you selected including types of drugs that would be prescribed to patients to treat associated symptoms. Then, explain how the factor you selected might impact the effects of prescribed drugs, as well as any measures you might take to help reduce negative side effects.

Explain what you might have done to prevent this from happening.
