Day: December 24, 2019

The second piece of the course project gives you the opportunity to engage in the first two stages of the negotiation process. The first two stages relate to preparation and information exchange. Additionally, you will be gaining insight into your authentic self in the negotiation process, practicing behaviors for building greater other awareness, and refining your use of negotiation tools.

 

Preparation and Information SharingTasks:

• Begin this segment of your final project with a one-paragraph introduction that summarizes the negotiation scenario, purpose, and participants.
• Provide a one- to two-page evaluation of responses to the seven fundamental questions (SFQs) (detailed earlier in the course material) for your negotiation scenario.
• Provide a one-page assessment of a price matrix for your role (e.g., buyer) in the negotiation. How did you determine the various pieces of your matrix? If the primary issues of the negotiation are not related to a price, provide a resource matrix of the primary issues. You may include a chart or a table as part of your presentation of a price matrix.
• Provide a one-page analysis of the zone of possible agreement for the negotiation by projecting a price or resource matrix for the other party in the negotiation and integrating it with the price matrix for your role. How did you determine the other party’s matrix? You may include a chart or a table as part of your presentation of the zone of possible agreement.
• Evaluate a best alternative to a negotiated agreement (BATNA) for both parties, including a discussion of the processes you used to determine the BATNAs. Also, analyze possible ways to strengthen your BATNA and to weaken the other party’s BATNA. Assess the leverage available in the negotiation. Your discussion of BATNAs should be one to two pages.
• Finally, analyze the information-sharing process in the negotiation. How was information shared? What was the climate of the information-sharing stage? What were the various interests and the data that emerged from the information exchange, and how might they impact the negotiation process and the potential outcome? What information was not shared, and how does that impact the negotiation process and outcome? The discussion of information sharing should be two to three pages.

Submission Details:

You have been hired as an outside consultant for a large durable medical equipment and medical supply company. The company specializes in a wide range of medical supplies and equipment. Some of its most profitable offerings include hospital bed rental to private residents, wheelchairs, walkers, scooter and other mobility equipment. However, they have come to realize that competition is increasing and market share is getting tight. They note that most of their customers are new costumers and very few are repeat customers. They are concerned with customer loyalty. The medical supply company owner has asked you to train develop a plan to improve customer loyalty and train the staff.  

• Create a report that describes and critically analyzes at least 5 contemporary best practices to improve customer loyalty in a health care organization. 
• Be sure to discuss the (multiple) benefits that loyal, repeat customers offer to health care organizations. 
• Develop and defend at least 4 recommendations for the medical supply company based on your research on how to improve customer loyalty. Include a brief overview of how each recommendation would be implemented at the company. 
• Develop an initial training plan for the company relative to 1 recommendation, explaining expected results in terms of staff and customer outcomes. 

The body of the resultant paper should be 5-7 pages and include at least 5 relevant peer-reviewed academic or professional references published within the past 5 years.

I need to expand the research to include both empirical researches and literature reviews researches. in other words the I need you to find at least 11-15 empirical researches that have hypothesis and conclude their results towards csr and financial performance and the same for literature reviews papers that does not have hypothesis. 

 CASE STUDY 3: Focused Ear Exam Martha brings her 11-year old grandson, James, to your clinic to have his right ear checked. He has complained to her about a mild earache for the past 2 days. His grandmother believes that he feels warm but did not verify this with a thermometer. James states that the pain was worse while he was falling asleep and that it was harder for him to hear. When you begin basic assessments, you notice that James has a prominent tan. When you ask him how he’s been spending his summer, James responds that he’s been spending a lot of time in the pool 

 

 

Nurses conducting assessments of the ears, nose, and throat must be able to identify the small differences between life-threatening conditions and benign ones. For instance, if a patient with a sore throat and a runny nose also has inflamed lymph nodes, the inflammation is probably due to the pathogen causing the sore throat rather than a case of throat cancer. With this knowledge and a sufficient patient health history, a nurse would not need to escalate the assessment to a biopsy or an MRI of the lymph nodes but would probably perform a simple strep test.

In this Case Study Assignment, you consider case studies of abnormal findings from patients in a clinical setting. You determine what history should be collected from the patients, what physical exams and diagnostic tests should be conducted, and formulate a differential diagnosis with several possible conditions.

To Prepare

• By Day 1 of this week, you will be assigned to a specific case study for this Case Study Assignment. Please see the “Course Announcements” section of the classroom for your assignment from your Instructor.
• Also, your Case Study Assignment should be in the Episodic/Focused SOAP Note format rather than the traditional narrative style format. Refer to Chapter 2 of the Sullivan text and the Episodic/Focused SOAP Template in the Week 5 Learning Resources for guidance. Remember that all Episodic/Focused SOAP Notes have specific data included in every patient case.

With regard to the case study you were assigned:

• Review this week’s Learning Resources and consider the insights they provide.
• Consider what history would be necessary to collect from the patient.
• Consider what physical exams and diagnostic tests would be appropriate to gather more information about the patient’s condition. How would the results be used to make a diagnosis?
• Identify at least five possible conditions that may be considered in a differential diagnosis for the patient.

The Assignment

Use the Episodic/Focused SOAP Template and create an episodic/focused note about the patient in the case study to which you were assigned using the episodic/focused note template provided in the Week 5 resources. Provide evidence from the literature to support diagnostic tests that would be appropriate for each case. List five different possible conditions for the patient’s differential diagnosis and justify why you selected each.

PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO MY CASE STUDY AT THE TOP

Read the material on the problem for this assignment in the Lesson and Assignment Eight and write a 2 page paper on the question.

 

This is a chance for you to assess four different issues that have been in the news and choose and assess one that you feel is something that is challenging your department or a department near you. Again this is not an examination of what you know, but rather how you would apply the knowledge that you have gained throughout your pursuit of a degree and apply that to problems that you may face in your career. These are not going to be large issue problems, but day to day ones and what I am looking for is not an analysis but rather a solution that you are comfortable with. Take the time to consider these issues that are real and decide how you would face the issue presented. Give me a solution and not an analysis. So, refrain one last time, you have reached the rank of Chief of Department. Read the four news articles below and chose one which might be an issue for your department and then discuss how you would address the problem. Provide information on how you would advise the municipality on how you have developed department policies and procedures to meet this issue. What legal problems could your department face with this issue?

For this week’s forum, reflect on the course with responses to the following:    

• Discuss a few topics you now have a better understanding of compared to when the course began.
• How will you utilize the information we covered to be more effective at your job? 
• How can the course can be improved?

I cannot believe that eight weeks have come and gone and this course is coming to a close.  I have enjoyed the course and can take away information that will hopefully make me a better firefighter for years to come.  The course has focused on some key aspects of the job though review of incidents like the Watts Plant fire.  This had me reviewing and putting in place the NFPA concepts tree.  This approach helps to cover all bases and assure there are no holes in potential incident.  The weekly forums also had us thing about incidents both typical and uncommon.  Week 2 brought a great discussion on the best method to extinguish fires in coal mines and jigsaws with solid rocket fuel.  To read everyone’s opinion on the best method really helped see things from different views. 

       This course has me reinforcing that the learning must never stop.  Reviewing past incidents is a great way to learn from real world scenarios.  It is also clear that the NFPA literature available is a great source of information for all facets of the job from protection measures to incident concepts.  I found the course to be interesting and relative to the degree.  I do wish the assignments would open earlier each week.  Having a busy life, I try and get a lot of my work done on shift if the time is available.  Some weeks I had completed the lesson and all required reading but was unable to move forward because the forum or assignment had not opened yet.  The book that was also part of the weekly reading I found to be extremely technical and often I was honestly confused reading it.  It seemed to be disconnected form the rest of the course as well and really did not correlate to the forums or assignments.  Best of luck to everyone on the remainder of your coursed and I hope everyone has a great holiday.

There were a few things that I didn’t know about or weren’t privy to about how building construction and fire protection systems can suppress or worsen a fire. The topic halon was interesting because I didn’t know that it is harmful to personnel and the environment. Also, how agencies are trying to stray away from using that extinguishing agent. Another topic was the case study on the Watts Fire that I learned about the fire safety concepts tree and how some buildings were grandfathered in which got me thinking about how policies, rules, codes, and standards should be changed to prevent further mishaps. This course not only discussed building construction and fire protection systems, it also gave a brief look at how the system is not perfect, and will need to be fixed to bring buildings up to code.

I believe that building construction will constantly change and this course helped me view how I should go about inspecting or sizing up a building to enter or offering ideas to help. This also helped me visualize how different factors on a building can influence a fire’s path. I would like to have a different book for the course. It seemed that the book was more for building construction in England, which I was trying to relate to what the U.S. has, as far as codes and standards the building materials.
