Hrm/531 Week 2

This week I have fully grasp the work that goes into being an RN, case manager and what it entails to fully review a patients’ stay at the hospital in order to discharge them in the most effective and efficient way. I understand the need for these professionals in the healthcare field, not only in the hospital setting, but in skilled nursing facilities as well, one reason being is that I believe someone has to advocate and review the patients’ needs before they are sent home. Just like last week I was able to sit in on rounds and observe a great deal of the doctor and case manager dynamic and how important it is for both to know the patient as much possible. Sitting in rounds every morning makes me realize how hard it is to make decisions for another

To meet the requirements desired by the President and Vice President of the Acme Corporation, I believe that they will only need four servers, considering it is such a small business of less than 20 people. All of the servers will be running Windows Server 2008 R2. The following servers will be: a file and printer server, an email and web server, and an SQL server.

As of next week, we will require that all employees at Semper Absum take a mandatory one-hour lunch break away from their desks. After hiring an efficiency expert, we were informed that many employees were not taking a lunch-break and instead were using work time to attend to personal matters. Statistically, employees who do not take a lunch break tend to be less productive during the rest of the day.

If you review table four and reference the savings from year one to year two you can determine the potential return on investment. The clinic did not obtain the full impact of the revenue in year one because having to account for initial cost of implement billing system that has the feature of e-statements. I used the total financial return from year one as a starting point. I did not move over the one-time costs to the second year and other one-time costs. For example, the one-time cost of the new billing system would only apply to year one. The clinic then would utilize the $208,960 savings per year going forward. The savings that I determined her would be calculated at a minimum amount for what the entire billing system would do for the clinic. The clinic has other departments that would benefit from this billing system and the new features the system has to offer. I would recommend the clinic go with this product and new workflow that I have identified.

Kudler Fine Foods uses a loyalty program which, as it currently stands, serves to “increase the consumer purchase cycle as a means to increase the loyalty and profitability of its consumers,” (p. 1, University of Phoenix, 2007); management is proposing the implementation of a new multi-media shopping cart that will appeal to the high-end clientele as well as track more customer data and improve sales. The Media cart gathers key information that will enable the marketing department to customize better the shopping experience, making use of in-store advertising, and collect data related to consumer activity (Media Cart, 2010). Although the initial investment in the carts may seem high, the return on

"Hi Rannie, I'm analyzing the log files and noticed entry 14 was negative 42. Can you confirm if this is accurate?"

By sending mail directly or making personal calls to all the doctors, administrators, and any other relevant personnel as well as visiting them if possible, we can establish a relationship with the customers at virtually no cost. However, the expected time commitment for the product is the most important part of our marketing strategy. Firstly, we will have to determine the persons to contact at the hospitals and nursing homes. Secondly, our team will have to determine when and how often we contact the target audience. Lastly, we will need to work on our communication skills and make sure that we are striking the right tone and positively convincing them to switch to our product. The response we receive is going to be our yardstick for determining

Jordan arrived at PAAL and quickly located and interacted with his staff. Jordan was prompted to change into his school clothes. Jordan needed assistance with putting his pants in the correct direction. When arriving to the house, Jordan requested a snack. Staff encouraged Jordan to prepare and eat his breakfast before obtaining a snack. Jordan independently arranged and ate his breakfast. Following his meal, Jordan completed his hygiene. While shaving Jordan needed prompting to keep razor on target areas as well as locating specified areas. When brushing his teeth, Jordan needed prompting to turn his brush and brush the top of his mouth. Jordan again requested and was given a snack.

Identify one major exclusion and one tax credit. Find the relevant Internal Revenue Code Section that provides for the exclusion or credit using IRS.GOV, copy the first paragraph, including the Code Section, and paste it into your post. Please answer this question for each: Did Congress enact this exclusion or credit for a social or economic purpose? Or both? For your third post this week, identify one of your colleagues' posts and respond to their observations with a concurrence or not; either way, support your position. Discuss which provides a greater tax advantage to the taxpayer, deductions or tax credits.

Being one of our brightest client’s we feel that our ability to communicate with each other on a more personal basis is acceptable. Resolving an open issue, by completely terminating all female technicians over the age of 45 and replacing them with male employees under the age of 25 will not be in your best interest. Therefore, I am brining to your attention our thoughts and concerns with your conclusions on this manner.

With May 1 quickly approaching, I approach a serious crossroad. A major decision is looming. For the first time in my life I have complete autonomy over my next move, and many subsequent choices following. This decision is essential to the rest of my entire life. Of the options presented to me, each and every one have colossal ramifications tied with them. Employment opportunity and financial security, potential life long relationships, and several other consequences are on the line. This begs the question, what exactly am I looking for these next four years and beyond. I have two vastly different options that may be presented to me. On one hand, I can potentially attend University of Michigan, the school I’ve been bred to attend since day one. Also however, I can potentially

I would meet with Kate privately so my feedback does not embarrass her in front of her coworkers. I would tell Kate that her performance is exceptional and how valuable she is to the company. After I have given her recognition, I would inform her that I have received customer complaints and the fact that she does not work well with her coworkers proves that it was not a one-time thing. I would tell her about the importance of working well with both the coworkers and the customers. This feedback will include how teamwork and customer satisfaction is important to our organization and without it our company does not perform well. I would allow her to ask for any clarifications. I would stay positive and collaborate with her on finding ways she can improve her behavior. I would end the conversation with acknowledging her capabilities again.

Week 12 consisted of us having completed an individual draft of Part’s 1 and 2 to look at. These drafts were placed into our Google drive, making it easier to look at them as a whole for our group. We then met up that Friday to discuss and create a second draft with our collaborated and agreed upon works. Due to Amy not being here for this one, she made sure her documents were there ahead of schedule to use. I also had gotten several different resources to look at to aid us in creating our strategic plan. We chose our recommended resources.

As the Ground Station software lead for the Triton Unmanned Air Vehicle (UAV) program, I recognized that the review of software Contract Data Requirements List (CDRL) items had become a continuous “do loop” and was tying up valuable program resources. My team was responsible for the review of over 30 CDRLs and their preparation and review was costing the program almost $15,000 apiece for each review cycle. We had fallen into a rut where the documents were submitted, my team along with subject matter experts would review and provide comments. The contractor team would then respond to these comments without any coordination and resubmit the documents. My team would not agree with the adjudication of the comments so the review process would start all over again. This process needed to improve to save the program both time and money.

Summarize and discuss your activities at work during each week. Be sure to note any new on-the-job experiences and any unusual events. Discuss any work-related problems, and state how you resolved them. You may write about your activities each day or for a week. Your summaries may be longer than the space allowed below.
