Deliverable 3 – Plan for Managing Operational Failures

 

Competency

Evaluate the components of operational risk and the application of corresponding risk management plans.

Instructions

LTD Acceptance is a private property and auto insurance carrier that specializes in sports cars and motorcycles. This organization is owned by LTD Capital, a large equity group with over 15 holdings. LTD Acceptance is the parent company’s single largest holding as it drives 70% of total revenue. Due to the inherent risk involved in that segment of the market, many of LTD Acceptance’s competitors do not offer policies for sports cars or motorcycles. This market segment is underserved which is why the organization has 20,000 active policies for a sports car or a motorcycle.

LTD is headquartered in Houston, TX. LTD does not sell insurance directly to the public. Instead, it uses third-party agents to sell its policies. LTD handles all customer service needs including claims intake, policy services, and general questions. The company operates in four states: California, Texas, Louisiana, and Florida. Currently, LTD does not have an active system in place to ensure that its agents are in fact using LTD guidelines to screen potential policyholders. However, no evidence of negligence has emerged so far as the organization has yet to have a year in which it was not profitable. LTD has also had the good fortune of not suffering losses because of natural disasters or catastrophic events.

Organizations in every sector experience breakdowns or failures that compromise the efficiency and efficacy of their operations. This concept is defined as an operational failure. Operational failures have a direct and adverse impact on profitability. As such, the shareholders want assurance that the risk management team is actively working on mitigating the occurrence of these failures. As the newly hired senior risk analyst, you are responsible for outlining a plan to do just that.
For this deliverable, provide a report to your supervisor which provides a framework for managing operational risk exposures. Your report should include the following:

• Explain why the operational losses cannot be broadly managed. Why do they have to be categorized?
• For each operational risk exposure listed below, provide at least two examples of potential losses from the exposure and reasons why you need to manage it.
  • Internal fraud
  • External fraud
  • Employment practices and workplace safety
  • Clients, products, and business practices
  • Damage to physical assets
  • Business disruption and system failures

Your conclusion should align the effective management of operational risk exposures with organizational effectiveness.
The format for your report should be in the business, professional style.

Identify a quality improvement opportunity in your organization or practice. In a 1,250-1,500 word paper, describe the problem or issue and propose a quality improvement initiative based on evidence-based practice. Apply “The Road to Evidence-Based Practice” process, illustrated in Chapter 4 of your textbook, to create your proposal.

Include the following:

1. Provide an overview of the problem and the setting in which the problem or issue occurs.
2. Explain why a quality improvement initiative is needed in this area and the expected outcome.
3. Discuss how the results of previous research demonstrate support for the quality improvement initiative and its projected outcomes. Include a minimum of three peer-reviewed sources published within the last 5 years, not included in the course materials or textbook, that establish evidence in support of the quality improvement proposed.
4. Discuss steps necessary to implement the quality improvement initiative. Provide evidence and rationale to support your answer.
5. Explain how the quality improvement initiative will be evaluated to determine whether there was improvement.
6. Support your explanation by identifying the variables, hypothesis test, and statistical test that you would need to prove that the quality improvement initiative succeeded.

Good parenting and good teaching have something in common. They both aim for loving our children well. Is that a walk in the park all the time? Of course not. If it were, we wouldn’t need courses like this to help us through. The questions you now need to ask yourself are:

• What type of parent or teacher would you want to be?
• How would you best communicate?
• How would you discipline?

Part A

Identify a television show or movie for each of the following:

• one that depicts an authoritarian style of parenting
• one that depicts an authoritative style of parenting
• one that depicts a permissive style of parenting

Explain the effect that each of the three styles has on the children in the show.

Part B

Select one (1) of the communication topics from Chapter 7 (effective communication, reflective listening, problem solving, etc.). Create a parent-friendly flyer describing at least two (2) ways that parents might use your selected communication strategy with young children.

Part C

For the scenario below, determine which type of related consequence is most appropriate. Provide two (2) supporting facts to justify your answer, citing your sources.

Scenario: Basilo was pretending to cook dinner in the house area when Salena grabbed a plate away from him and said, “Boys don’t cook.” Basilo replied, “Yes, they do. My daddy cooks!” as he grabbed onto the plate. The children continued their tug-of-war until you intervened

1-IRB is an important step in research. State the required components one should look for in a project to determine if IRB submission is needed?

 

2-Think back on your National Institute of Health (NIH) training and share what you learned. How will this apply to having an IRB form completed and why?

 Ok so I developed a change project for my unit at ICU for CVC’s lines care with HCG bath and early line removal to prevent infection. This project will be implemented in the next couple of months. There will be a checklist at the bedside for the nursing staff to monitor skills and interventions to be done per shift, including HCG bath every shift and dressing change every 7 days and as needed. So this papaer I need you to do is based on this. If you need more information, ask me. Follow the instructions below. Refer in the paper on 1st person, using “Me, I, ect..” My goals are to impact the facility to reduce the number of CVC’s line infections and create awareness among the nursing staff

 

Develop your project aims, values, and desired outcomes portion of your paper using a clinical microsystem approach.

• Describe the project aim: The project aim should include examples of features and functions that will occur as a result of implementing your change project.
• Describe the project value: The value should describe the benefits of the change project implementation to the stakeholders, the organization, and the nursing profession.
• Describe the desired outcomes: Specifically, state the purpose, quality focus, and viewpoint of the project as well as its expected accomplishments. A project goal should reference the project’s business benefits in terms of cost, time, and/or quality that address individual and family healthcare needs or changes, results, impacts, or consequences that the project has on people, programs, or institutions. Goals and objectives should be measurable, shared, and agreed on by all key stakeholders. They are directly linked to the concept of project success factors.
