The board of directors and the president know that they have serious human resource issues. They understand that management practices have to change in order to compete in the local healthcare market as an employer-of-choice. As in any healthcare organization, fiscal resources are limited, but the board is firmly committed to investing in a well developed human resources plan that will decrease the turnover and stem the ever-growing turnover and vacancy rates. The president has asked you to attend the next board of directors meeting to share your plan for addressing these serious issues. What will you tell them? Outline the focus of your presentation and include the issues you have identified, as well as the recommended strategies for turning this around. (Points : 25)

As people head into retirement, their age brings not only knowledge and wisdom, but also loss of energy, physical weakness and psychological changes. One day you come to your parents’ house and realize that they can no longer take care of themselves in a proper manner. You find that they become forgetful and sluggish, have difficulties with walking and balancing, get uncertain when performing once-familiar tasks, stop pursuing their hobbies and engaging in habitual activities. They are also losing weight, which means that they are not eating well. All these are the signs that your aging parent needs some extra help with their daily living tasks. However, it does not mean that they have to move to a nursing home or any other type of senior facility.

The field of nursing health care is one of the most important things in any given community set up. In the current world, health care sector is under reform simply because there is a wide range of challenges as well as problems that face this industry.

Administrators in health care field have faced challenges in managing these two aspects.

For many elderly, the nursing homes are their only primary option. As Americans age with extended life expectancy, more people will become residents of nursing homes. A report cited by the "Baby Boomer generation" shows that aging will require more long-term care services in the future. The number is "expected to increase from 15 million in 2000 to 27 million in 2050" for individuals requiring these services (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2003). The growth of the "Baby Boomer" population has brought concern for their well-being since they are the most at a disadvantage.

When a loved one requires more help than either their home or hospital can provide, a nursing home can become the haven they need. Sometimes they only require assistance rather than hospitalization– assistance that their current home situation cannot properly fulfill. In Cincinnati, OH, Mount Washington Care Center has been that sanctuary. For more than 34 years, they have been providing long-term care and rehabilitation services in the area with a committed and comprehensive approach, involving physical, mental, emotional, as well as spiritual aspects.

As Director of Human Resources my goals are to formalize the recruitment and selection process, establish policies regarding compensation, provide job analyses and determine descriptions for new jobs as the need arises. I anticipate that the challenge will be to lead the organization through a cultural shift away from its current recruitment and selection model and to successfully manage organizational change across a global workforce. Currently we are in the middle of a recruitment and selection campaign for two administrative assistants to support the Human Resources unit as we lead organizational change.

Gulf-Side Hospice has provided excellence of care and services to the people of the west coast communities of Florida since 1976. Due to recent, unfortunate changes in insurance coverage, eligibility for patients to receive 24 hour continuous skilled nursing home care has been limited. The new limitations will cause the responsibility of care to fall back upon the patient’s families, with only provisions allowed for on-call nursing services for emergencies only, and supportive nursing services via telephone communication. Therefore, we are forced to make the difficult decision of eliminating the full-time positions of the 24-hour continuous care nurses. Ten new full-time positions will be created for nurses to cover supportive and on-call services. While 24-hour continuous care nurses are eligible for the new positions, there will not be enough available to

The importance of human resources to the delivery of healthcare has kept growing over time and HR has become intrinsically important to the delivery of efficient and effective health care. At this point the organizations which have managed their human capital successfully and effectively have been able to serve their patients effectively(Kabene et al, 2006). In a scenario where the health care sector is faced with major human resource related issues the HR has a major opportunity to become a

In today’s competitive healthcare industry, employers must ensure the employees chosen to work within the organization are going to support the mission, vision and values it sets forth. Selecting an appropriate employee can be a challenging task for Human Resources (HR) and nurse managers and, therefore, an organization must have a reliable selection process in place to ensure the best individual is chosen.
