Called to Care for the list of questions. Once you have outlined the worldview of each religion, begin your ethical analysis from each perspective. In a minimum of 1,500-2,000 words, provide an ethical analysis based upon the different belief systems, reinforcing major themes with insights gained from your research, and answering the following questions based on the research:

  1. How would each religion interpret the nature of George’s malady and suffering? Is there a “why” to his disease and suffering? (i.e., is there a reason for why George is ill, beyond the reality of physical malady?)
  2. In George’s analysis of his own life, how would each religion think about the value of his life as a person, and value of his life with ALS?
  3. What sorts of values and considerations would each religion focus on in deliberating about whether or not George should opt for euthanasia?
  4. Given the above, what options would be morally justified under each religion for George and why?
  5. Finally, present and defend your own view.
Support your position by referencing at least three academic resources (preferably from the GCU Library) in addition to the course readings, lectures, the Bible, and the textbooks for each religion. Each religion must have a primary source included. A total of six references are required according to the specifications listed above. Incorporate the research into your writing in an appropriate, scholarly manner.]]>

    Baldrige Performance Excellence Program.  This program is very well known by management/leadership teams in healthcare so it is IMPERATIVE that you, as a health care student, are at least vaguely aware of what it is! Respond thoughtfully to the following inquiry/question: Quickly review both attachments 1 and 2 A. Attachment 1 provides detail on Organization Profiles, Part 1 (P.1) and Part 2 (P.2) look to files DB4 attachment 1. pdf B. Attachment  2 also provides detail on the organization profile sections but also  has detail on the seven (7) categories on which organizations are rated  for the Baldrige Performance Excellence Program (leadership, strategy, customers, measurement, knowledge, operations, results) look to files DB4 attachment 1. pdf C. After reviewing these attachments, find at least one full, current article about healthcare facilities that have been recognized by the Baldrige Performance Excellence Program – or an article discussing the merits of this program.  Cite this source at the end of your initial discussion thread! 2.  Imagine you have been hired as manager of a healthcare facility that plans to apply for the Baldrige  Performance Excellence Program in the next year.  As a new manager, you  are not familiar with this program but have been tasked with completing  the application and starting needed initiatives for sections in which  your organization may be lacking. *You believe that all 7 categories are  very important but all need work in your organization.  Pick one of the 7  categories that you would choose to focus on and tackle first – and  tell us what that choice is. (leadership, strategy, customers, measurement, knowledge, operations, results) *Why did you make this choice? Explain. *Do you believe it is realistic that an organization can excel in all 7 of these categories? Explain your response. *Why do you believe organizations seek out voluntary achievements such as the Baldrige Performance Excellence Program?  They are a lot of work for people that are already overwhelmed with work. What is the motivation for an organization? What are the real benefits if any? Would you pursue this for your organization some day? Why?]]>

    Evaluate how effectively leaders address any issues involving ethical practice, diversity or inclusion.

    /in /by

    Assignment Preparation For this assignment, imagine that you are the manager of a health care organization confronting numerous issues potentially affecting the provision of safe, high-quality health care practices. You have decided to focus first on the issue that has particular relevance to your area of specialization or professional goals, or that presents a situation you might expect to encounter in your leadership role. As you consider an appropriate course of action to address this issue, you have decided to begin by searching the case study literature with the intention of possibly gaining insight into the actions of other health care leaders who have dealt with similar issues and may have provided a sound solution to the problem or issues he or she faced. A colleague with whom you have spoken about this has recommended the Buchbinder, Shanks, and Buchbinder text, Cases in Health Care Management as an excellent case study reference. For your convenience, Appendix B lists all cases by topic (Leadership; Quality/Patient Safety; Finance; Healthcare Professionals/Human Resources; Health Disparities/Cultural Competence; Ethics/Law/Conflict of Interest; Crossing the Line/Fraud) and by primary and secondary settings. In the Buchbinder, Shanks, and Buchbinder text, locate two case studies that are most closely aligned with the issue(s) you have decided to address. In addition, be sure that your selected case studies will enable you to · Evaluate the effectiveness of different leadership approaches in facilitating collaborative professional relationships across disciplines. · Evaluate health care leaders’ ability to communicate effectively. · Analyze the role of communication in both creating and resolving a problem in health care leadership. · Evaluate how effectively leaders address any issues involving ethical practice, diversity or inclusion. · Evaluate health care leaders’ ability to manage and prioritize leadership responsibilities to resolve issues. Note: The case studies in the text may not supply all of the information you may need. In such cases, you should consider a variety of possibilities and infer plausible conclusions. Assignment Instructions Complete the following steps: 1. Include a title page, abstract, and reference page. o An APA Style Paper Tutorial [DOCX] and the associated APA Style Paper Template [DOCX] are linked in Resources to help you in writing and formatting your paper. Format your work per these documents. 2. Include on your cover page the titles of the case studies you have chosen. For example, your title could read: “Demonstrating Effective Leadership: Case 82 – When Yes Means No and Case 83 – Emergency Divert Status.” o Include the case study in your references and use in-text citations when appropriate. 3. In the body of the paper, begin by briefly summarizing the facts surrounding the case studies. After you identify who the leaders are and the issues they are faced with, analyze the factors that you believe contributed to each issue. o Note: In graduate level writing, you should minimize the use of direct quotes. Lengthy quotes do not count toward assignment minimums. It is your interpretation of the material and its application to practice that is assessed. o Remember, the case studies may not supply all of the information you may need. In such cases, you should consider a variety of possibilities and infer plausible conclusions. However, please be sure to identify any speculations that you make as such. o An excellent tool for analyzing factors that contribute to a problem is the Fishbone Diagram, linked in the Resources. Use of this tool is highly recommended, but it is optional, and you will not hand in your diagram with this assignment. 4. Compare and contrast the leadership approaches or styles these leaders use. Analyze how the approaches or styles make these leaders more or less effective in building interprofessional relationships across disciplines within the organization. Based on your analysis, determine how likely it will be that these leaders will be able to build and maintain such relationships with other communities and leaders outside their organization. Support your analysis with citations and appropriate APA references to peer-reviewed journals or scholarly sources. 5. Analyze how well these leaders communicate, verbally or in writing. Analyze the role of communication and communication strategies in both creating and resolving the issues presented in the case study. 6. Summarize and analyze how well the leaders managed professional responsibilities and priorities to resolve the issue in the case. What lessons could you take away from this case that could be applied by other leaders? 7. Summarize and evaluate how effectively the leaders addressed any issues involving ethical practice, diversity or inclusion in the case. What key lessons do these cases provide for leaders? Use examples to clarify and support your ideas. Submission Requirements Your paper should meet the following requirements: · Written communication: Write coherently to support central ideas, in appropriate format, and with correct grammar, usage, and mechanics. · Length of paper: 5–6 typed, double-spaced pages, not including the title page, abstract, and reference page. · References: At least four different resources (peer-reviewed journals or other scholarly resource, assigned unit readings, and the like). · APA formatting: o Include a properly formatted title page, abstract, and reference page. o An APA Style Paper Tutorial [DOCX] and the associated APA Style Paper Template [DOCX] are linked in Resources to help you in writing and formatting your paper. Format your work per these documents. o Apply correct formatting to all in-text citations and references. · Font and font size: Times New Roman, 12 point.]]>
