Day: August 26, 2019

Barbara receives an email from her manager asking about the progress of the strategic plan. The manager informs Barbara that UCCO is wanting to implement a new electronic health record (EHR), to improve the overall process of providing quality patient care; and organizational challenges. After her discussion, Barbara realizes that she would need to complete a situational analysis. By performing a situational analysis, planners can help anticipate and manage change. Understanding the internal and external environment is also critical to an effective strategic plan. For the external environment, planners look at opportunities and threats. For the internal environment, planners look at strengths and weaknesses.

 

For this project assignment on UCCO, complete a minimum of a 1-2 page report and two SWOT tables to describe key opportunities, threats, strengths, and weaknesses in selecting an electronic record system. Your written report should address the following concepts:

 

search for a minimum of 2 articles covering the topics of electronic health record implementation. Conduct academic researchusing the library’s databases, like: 

 

• CINAHL
• Discovery
• Business Source Complete via EBSCO
• Business via ProQuest  
• What is the current economic situation for UCCO? What suggestions can Barbara make to help mitigate financial issues? Use the financial review provided in the UCCO case. 
• What type of electronic record system should Barbara recommend for the company? What is her best option? What are the financial implications? Explain the choice based on what the system can provide in comparison to the organizational challenges?

 

Visit the Internet and search for a minimum of 2 electronic health record systems. Search for types of EHR systems. 

 

To complete this assignment, construct two situational/SWOT analysis tables one for each electronic record system being considered – that contains the following:

 

• External influences – opportunities and threats. 
• Internal influences – strengths and weaknesses.
• Trends that can impact clinic performance, market and financial position 
• EHR System functions and capabilities
• EHR End-user requirements and ease of use

To create an optimal environment for learning, we must consider more than just the furniture. Our brain is influenced by aromas in the room, music playing, and even the number of plants that populate the space. Describe a time from your own learning experience that was influenced in either a negative or positive way by the physical learning environment. Using examples from the course materials, describe your optimal environment for learning. Be sure to explain why you would include or exclude particular elements.

Scenario:

 

You and your learning team members are lead HR Recruiters for Consolidation Tech Plus (CTP) Inc. Each member leads a team of two HR Generalists and three HR Recruiters.

(2017) and/or American Psychological Association (2014). You need to have scholarly support for any claim of fact or recommendation regarding treatment. APA format also requires headings. Use the prompt each week to guide your heading titles and organize the content of your initial post under the appropriate headings. Remember to use scholarly research from peer-reviewed articles that is current. I have also attached my discussion rubric so you can see how to make full points. Please follow the instructions to get full credit for the discussion. I need this completed by 08/27/19 at 1pm.

The Relationship Between Research and Practice

 

All too often, the very idea of research creates anxiety instead of interest. Fear of statistics and resistance to the language of research can become a barrier to learning to analyze professional counseling literature. So, this course will begin with an exploration of your perceptions and biases about research.

 

Addressing these preconceived notions about research helps pave the way to understanding the role of research in counseling practice. Consider this: If you consulted your primary care physician for treatment of a disease, you would not want to learn that you were prescribed medication that was proven to be ineffective or to cause harm. The same is true for counseling practice. Counseling research helps keep clinicians up to date on what works and what does not.

 

For this Discussion, you will explore the relationship between research and practice and how you might anticipate using research in your future counseling work.

 

To Prepare

 

• Review the Learning Resources      related to research and evidence-based practice and consider how these      resources inform your Discussion.
• Review the Learning Resources      related to how to search the Walden library for articles related to      evidence-based practice.
• Search the Walden Library for one      current (within last 10 years) peer-reviewed article in the professional      counseling literature related to the use of empirical evidence in      counseling practice.
• Reflect on how other disciplines      use research in their work.

 

Post by Day 3

 

Based on your search experience through the Walden Library:

 

• Explain your perceptions,      concerns, fears, or assumptions about research.
• Post any questions or concerns you      have about successfully completing this course.
• Explain how you anticipate using      research in your future clinical work citing the article that you choose      from the counseling databases.

 

Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the Learning Resources.

Write a 700- to 1,050-word paper in which you evaluate the various types of turnover outlined in the following scenarios:

 

• A sales associate, who is slightly above average in the number of sales, has decided to leave the company for a competitor.
• As the HR Manager, what are your concerns about this person’s exit from the company?
• In what ways might this be positive turnover?
• In what ways might it be negative?
• After training a new inspector for a year, a city decides to terminate his employment. Although the inspector is technically competent, local contractors have made many complaints about his lack of customer service and his approach to enforcement.
• In what ways might this be positive turnover?
• In what ways might it be negative?

 

Discuss, in general, the benefits of turnover to the organization, and compare it to turnover that is unhealthy for the organization.

Why is understanding the health care system at the local level important to consider when planning an EBP implementation? Conduct research and solicit anecdotal evidence from your course mentor that you will take into consideration for your own change project.
