Access Pros and Cons

/in /by

Imagine that you work at a health care organization that is discussing a major information sharing proposal with other major providers and payers in the region: the development of a regional health network allowing clinicians broad access to patient data with patient permission, of course.

Write a post in which you weigh the advantages and disadvantages of such a regional network. Include in the discussion some of the information security issues that exist with this new way of sharing data. What evidence and/or research can you provide to support your noted security issues?

Use APA formatting guidelines to properly cite the references used in your post.

Competitor Access

/in /by

Patient information collected and stored by a health care facility is actually the property of the subject of the data (the patient). When a patient wants to share information among different (perhaps competing) health care facilities, how will it be handled?

Imagine this scenario: As a manager of a local hospital, you are approached by a patient who is experiencing a high-risk pregnancy. The patient asks for access by a specialist at a different hospital owned by a competitor.

Write a post in which you outline your response to this request, including how you weigh the potential risks and benefits involved. Include also your perceptions about how data sharing between competitors may change with the use and security of electronic systems.

Use APA formatting guidelines to properly cite any references used in  your post.

Strategic HRM Plan

/in /by

Write a 750-1,000 word strategic human resource management plan. The purpose of this assignment is to simulate the thought process managers use to connect unit goals with organizational strategy. The students are not expected to produce a detailed strategic plan (which in actual organizations can exceed 100 pages). Rather, the expectation is that students demonstrate consideration of the multiple complexities involved in strategic planning.

The assignment is centered on the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) model of analysis, and the specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) model of goal setting.

Access the GCU Library, relevant course materials, and Internet resources to research SWOT analysis and SMART goals.

Select an organization to research that has a description of the organization and necessary information available to conduct a SWOT analysis and develop SMART goals.

The Strategic HRM Plan should be in the form of a professional report. There is no single, correct manner of presentation. Critical and creative thinking is expected. The formatting is secondary to the content and application of knowledge. However, the proposal should be organized in a readily comprehensible manner that conveys a thorough understanding of course objectives. Graphics, bulleted lists, and charts are acceptable. Include the following:

    Introduction that outlines how the human resource goals support the organizational goals.
    Summary of the organizational description.
    A SWOT analysis.
    Three human resource goals that fulfill the SMART criteria.
    Alignment of human resources goals and strategic plans.
    Proposal for a job design initiative or an organizational hiring goal to meets the needs of the human resource goals and organizational goals.
    A conclusion that summarizes the highlights of the plan is presented.

Incorporate three to five resources (including your textbook) to support your Strategic HRM Plan.
