Part A (Applied Research – 40% of the assignment score)- This is the task that you receivedin Week 4.

Located in Illinois for the last 8 years, your organization is a medium-sized company in the medical supplies industry. The Vice President of Operations stopped in your office to discuss a recent loss of staff. He said he has lost 3 key leaders in the last 4 months. In addition to 2 more employees he fired, several frontline workers have quit. As a good HR Director, you recognize that it would be wise to do a complete investigation of the turnover.

In a maximum of 2 double-spaced pages, explain:

a) How would you evaluate whether the experienced turnover is a problem?
b) What data/metricswould you gather and consider from the HRIS (Human Resource Information System) and/or external sources?

Consult additional sources in the HR literature, beyond the course readings, to formulate your response.

Part B (BT Green Case, 20% of the assignment value)
Refer to the BT Green case again, the one you received in Week 3. You had a chance to discuss the legal risk for the organization in the first assignment. You’ve responded to the CEO and received feedback about your assessment. The company decided to let Mr. Banks go. Considering the material you’ve read in Weeks 1-6, now respond to the terminated employee.

  1. Describe the desired outcome (or goal) for your response.
  2. Identify the issues you will consider in crafting your response.
  3. Explain how you will convey the information to the employee (i.e., in writing, verbally, through technology, in person) and why you chose this method.
  4. Write what you will say.

Limit your response to a maximum of 2 double-spaced pages of text.

Part C(Knowledge ofWeeks 4-6 Readings) (40% of assignment value)
Please answer the following questionswithin a maximum of 2 double-spaced pages.Note the limit requires you to be concise in synthesizing all the input from the classroom material and any external literature you gather.

  1. Assume an organization wants to gauge the success of its total rewards program. Discuss at least two possible metrics or outcomes it might use. Be sure to explain why you chose the metrics you discuss and how they are indicative of a successful total rewards program.
  2. Given what you have learned about employee relations and labor relations, explain whether it is possible for an HR practitioner to be an effective advocate for both employees and the organization at the same time? Why or why not?

You can chose a medical disease or we can use Type 2 diabetes or Type 1 diabetes Please see attachment to see what the paper requires

  • Write a two page research report on a medical topic using 2-3 professional medical journals such as JAMA, Nursing, Dental or Physical, Occupational or Speech Journals as your sources.  The textbook for this class is NOT a professional journal and should not be used for anything other than helping choose your topic. (This does not mean that your topic must be in the textbook)
  • 4) Use APA formatting.  Directions can be found at:  http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01
  • When writing the paper use medical terminology. For example: “A typical patient diagnosed with malignant melanoma is prescribed a treatment plan that includes both radiation and chemotherapy.” rather than “if a doctor tells you that you have skin cancer you will probably have to have chemo”
  • Use 5 medical terms in the paper that are made up of words parts. Underline and bold these terms. At the end of your paper, list and define (in your own words) the five terms that you have highlighted. Do Not use Latin or Greek terms such as cortex which  has no prefix, root or suffix.  Each word should be made up of two or three word parts. Provide a complete definition of the whole term in your own words, a definition of each word part and identify each word part as a root, prefix or suffix.   Use the example below and do not deviate from its format.

    4. In what ways can health care administrators help prevent the kind of error described in the scenario from happening in the first place? How can they assist the providers and organization after such and error occurs?

The purposes of this assignment are to a) help you effectively use research resources through library data bases and search engines to complete course requirements; b) improve your critical thinking skills; and c) develop your effectiveness in writing about topics relevant to course objectives and healthcare information systems. The paper explores, in greater detail than the required readings and class discussion, any healthcare information system topic identified in the course text or syllabus. Your job is to select a current issue in healthcare information systems, provide the necessary background and your position, along with a conclusion and future direction. I encourage you to select a subject in which you have interest and approach this assignment as a potential publishable work. Review the video on building the Big Picture Model, found in the “Start Here” section of this classroom. Read the syllabus and skim the text to locate a topic you would like to research and write about. Your final paper is 15 pages double-spaced (excluding the executive summary, footnotes and references) with a 10 or 12 point font. Tables, graphics, and diagrams must be placed in the paper as attachments. They do not count in the page length. There is no set organizational format for the paper but your work should include, at a minimum, the following: Executive summary (1 page) Background/Introduction Statement and analysis of the issue / case (including your analysis of the sources of the problem, stakeholders, etc…) Position (a clear statement of what your position on the issue) Support for your position along with anticipated obstacles, stakeholders, and facilitating factors (designed to persuade the reader to your thesis and drawn from evidence and the literature) Conclusion and future direction References While there is seldom a “right” or “wrong” position in a given paper, students are expected to clearly and articulately support their argument using course and external materials. It is very important that you include not only background on the selected issue, but your specific assessment, recommendations, ideas, and suggestions. It is your original analysis, grounded in the class material and peer-reviewed publications , that is the hallmark of solid graduate level social science writing and will serve as the main basis for your grade. Select credible information/data and use (and cite) your research in support of a persuasive stance on the topic. Edit and proofread your written work to ensure correct grammar, spelling, word choice, and sentence clarity.
