HRM Metrics in Healthcare Organizations

HRM metrics and measurements can be powerful in showing areas where healthcare organizations can improve and better meet the needs of the organization, employees, and patients or customers. HRM metrics can also help provide meaningful data to help make better decisions and changes.

 How should an HR department of a healthcare organization measure its effectiveness? For example, if job satisfaction has improved among nursing staff, how would you isolate the effect of HRM policies or programs from the effect of other organizational and external factors?

write a 500-700 word descriptive essay about a famous person from the 20th century.

Here are the actual links on YouTube:

After watching the videos and reading chapters 11 and 12 you should be familiar with the description. Now it is your turn to try it.

For this essay, you will write a 500-700 word (word count does NOT include Cover page, Abstract, or Reference pages)  descriptive essay about a famous person from the 20th century. Try to describe their physical characteristics so that even though I have never met them, I can Google them to compare them to your descriptions.  I must get a vivid picture of them in my head through your writing. Personality traits are fine, but you need to focus more on their physical traits.

For example, the introduction and conclusion can be a biography but the body of the essay (paragraphs 2-4) must focus on the physical traits. The goal is for me to see them from your descriptions–like a police sketch artist.

Often times when I grade these essays I will look at a picture of this person as I read to see how well you describe your person.  Many times students will leave off key parts of the face that should be not only been listed, but also described in great detail.  Remember all of the parts to a person’s head alone: head, hair, eyes, eye lashes, eye brows, nose, nostrils, cheeks, chin, lips, teeth, ears, earlobes etc. Some of you focused on the clothes your person wears rather than what they look like.  When I grade these essays I will draw a picture based on your descriptions as I read so I can see what is left out of your descriptions.  

Do NOT include their clothing or attire in your description. What they wear is not important or relevant in this essay.

As always, ALL assignments must be done in APA style, double-spaced, size 12 Times New Roman font. 

All APA essays in this class need a 

Cover page (page 1)

Abstract (page 2)

Your actual essay begins on page 3.

See the sample APA essay at this link and make yours look like it:

A description of the biases and/or preconceived notions that you  might have about particular types of families that could impede your  communication with these families

Regardless of family configuration,  background, strengths and/or challenges, every family wants the best for  their child(ren). When early childhood professionals partner  effectively with families, both contribute significant insights and  knowledge.

Communication between early childhood professionals and families may be  complicated by differences in values, beliefs, traditions, expectations,  and languages. Although every communication exchange should reflect a  thoughtful, planned approach that takes into consideration each family’s  unique characteristics, your own personal biases may get in the way of  meaningful communication.

Think about the many different kinds of families that you read about in this week’s resources.

Then,  consider the personal biases and preconceived notions that you may have  about specific types of families that may distort your perceptions and  consequently create barriers in communication.

Consider the following:

• A description of the biases and/or preconceived notions that you  might have about particular types of families that could impede your  communication with these families
• How these barriers might affect your interactions with children
• Offer you colleagues insights, lessons, and exceptional resources  you have come across both in this program of study and your experience  to help break down barriers to communication

Does insurance impact the quality of care provided by physicians?

The insurance system has benefits and drawbacks for patients, providers (physicians), and insurance companies. Identify at least one benefit and one drawback for each of these stakeholders. Explain how insurance benefits/hinders each stakeholder. How does the demand theory apply to the relationship between each stakeholder and the insurance industry? Does insurance impact the quality of care provided by physicians?

What insights have you gained this week with regard to specific  categories of families that foster your anti-bias work with adults and  children?

To begin, choose  three types of families from the list below.

Keep in mind the  role as an  early childhood professional who does anti-bias work involves you in  teaching the children with whom you work to respect and understand all  kinds of families without over-generalizing or stereotyping.

3 family types chosen:

1) Transnational Families

2) Gay/Lesbian-headed families

3) One or more family members incarcerated

• Consider the various resources that you might draw on to develop a  deeper understanding about the specific challenges faced by this type of  family including stereotypes/misconceptions held by society in general  or at individual levels. Conduct a brief investigation by looking for  local and/or national organizations, support groups, publications, and  online resources that might be available to expand awareness about this  kind of family. Take note of the resources that you feel would be  particularly helpful to teachers committed to anti-bias work and  effective early childhood practice. For each resource, indicate whether  it would be helpful to early childhood professionals, families, or both.  Justify your ideas.
• Reference the textbook and your additional resources, summarize your insights.
• Locate three key strategies that might be used to help  adults and/or children understand each other’s families with more  respect.

For this assignment,  you will address all of the components listed above for each of the  three family types 

Consider the following prompts after addressing the above information:

• What insights have you gained this week with regard to specific  categories of families that foster your anti-bias work with adults and  children?
• What misconceptions or assumptions of yours, if any, were dispelled?
• What resources did you find to be invaluable?
• What qualities and skills do you already possess that might help  you to positively support and communicate with every child’s unique  family?
