Employees At Vidant Health Will Remember

The healthcare industry is one of the fastest growing industries. Changes are always happening in the healthcare field and new trends are created. As a worker in the healthcare industry, there are many changing aspects of the industry. At my company, I’ve noticed some of the trends that are shaping the direction of the company in a very dynamic and valuable way. Working remotely, the Affordable Care Act (ACA), and Big Data and Cloud Computing are some of the trends that my company is moving towards. While these trends are making an impact on the company, there are still challenges with the Affordable Care Act. It has been reshaping the healthcare system both positively and negatively since it was introduce.

Our healthcare system is in a state of constant change. Just as the industry was adapting to the demands of countless healthcare reforms, the fate of regulations like the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and others like it, dangle in the wind. As the country transitions to a newly appointed administration, there is an increasing level of uncertainty among industry leaders. Federal, state, and local mandates continue to drive the need to improve the quality, costs, and outcomes of care which add to an already overburdened and burnout system. These coupled with our highly secular society who is primarily focused on the treating and curing illness through advanced technology, medications, and procedures has resulted in a

On a snowy January evening, the Midwestern Medical Group (MMG) management team held a retirement party for Judith Olsen, MMG president. During the evening, Olsen reflected back on the years she had worked for MMG with mixed feelings about her experience. Over the course of their eight-year integration

The second practice I have taken away is the Family Medical Leave Act. I chose the Family Medical Leave Act because It is important to consider your employee’s health and consider that your employees have family. This practice can be taught by showing management how to let someone have this leave and show them in the benefits packet. You can also have the law posted in the Human resources department. This practice can be used for employees who are sick or for the employees that have family that are sick or if you have an employee who just adopted or had a baby.

In the healthcare field, there are forces that drive practice and develop change within an organization. There are both internal and external forces in which not one organization is immune to (Kotter, 1996). By establishing a vision of the company, a sense of purpose and direction is created, working towards change within the forces (Huyer, 2014). When people participate in a vision, they work towards a common goal and identify what needs to be changed in order to reach that vision. In this paper, a presentation of Banner Health will be discussed, along with its mission and stakeholders, driving forces, viability, as well as an analysis of forces, a response to change, a vision for change, and an evaluation of change.

A nationwide company, Ballard Integrated Managed Services (BIMS) contracts with large organizations that prefer to focus on their own core competencies and lease support functions to outside vendors. Ballard Integrated Managed Services (BIMS) distinguishes itself in this highly competitive industry by combining several services: housekeeping, foodservice, general cleaning, and physical plant maintenance. (The University of Phoenix material, 2014, p.1). Though lately BIMS had noticed a rise in employee turnover as well as an increase in the use of employee sick time

I work as an home care occupational therapists in the field and provide services to people from children to old age. I see the effects of laws and policy discussions not only on the patients but also on the workplace itself. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) is one such example that has changed not only how we deliver patient services but also team dynamics within the healthcare providers. When I started working, we had a multidisciplinary team model that has since been changed to an interdisciplinary team model, we used to have separate teams of nurses, rehabilitation therapists and social workers but now we have been integrated into a team based on geographical location. Whereas, patient care delivery used to be fragmented and performed in the respective care provider services, this has now been transformed where greater integration is seen from the way we share information; more information has been coming from all providers and not only from the home care agency that I work for but also from outside providers such as the hospitals and nursing homes.

In this portion of my case analysis, I will be showing ways for suggested solutions in order to help improve the situation at the Engstrom Auto Mirror Plant. I will be showing ways in which organizational improvement outcomes can directly help remedy some of the issues and recommend strategic actions that would lead the organization in a proactive production workforce. The recommendations are creating committees, rework how the Scanlon Plan bonus works, create or use their marketing and sales department to the full capacity, and to help empower the workforce work to achieve Corporate Social Responsibility.

The issues addressed are Findings 1 and 3: Finding 1 is patient medication errors are up and there is a perception of shady hiring practices and playing favorites. All employees are responsible for compliance. Policies and professional standards exist for the medical profession. The challenges will be reintroducing employees to Federal and state law that govern the profession. For hiring practices and playing favorites the challenges faced are the lack of compliance reporting structure or training for understanding compliance. There is a perception that work rules are not being enforced. Finding 3 is high job turnover and low employee morale. The challenges faced will be building communication strategies, building confidence in leadership,

Ellen Zane had her work cut out for her at Tufts-NEMC. The Tufts University affiliated teaching and research hospital had long been on the decline. It was mired in financial difficulty, was falling behind other teaching and research AMCs, and was not effectively serving its local community. Beginning on the day she accepted her position as CEO, Ellen Zane started on a path of reform. Upon learning that the hospital only had 10 months of cash on hand, she began brainstorming on how to make the hospital financially viable, starting by meeting payroll needs first. She discovered that Tufts-NEMC was being drastically underpaid and began looking for solutions to the problem of reimbursements. One of the more

Upon analyzing GWC’s human resource frame, we recognize that GWC does not align organizational needs with human needs. For example, people need salaries, benefits, and opportunities for growth to enrich their livelihood (Bolman & Deal, 2013). GWC does not provide health insurance or benefits for their employees and their medical assistants (MA) are paid below the state minimum wage. Additionally, the morale at GWC declines as frontline staff verbalize pressure of being overworked with high stake responsibilities. The nurse practitioners (NP) express their frustrations stating they are not treated respectfully by the BM. As conflict at GWC escalates, the organization does not appear to have a strategy for resolution. If GWC cannot meet their employees’ basic human needs, self-actualization cannot be expected.
