compose a two-page essay discussing the impact of the new world of digital communication on community-building in America.

Robert Putnam, in his book Bowling Alone: The Collapse and Revival of American Community, uses the example of the decline of bowling leagues across the country to suggest the passing of community and associations in the United States. Traditionally these associations provided the “social capital”* upon which society was built.

Has social media exacerbated this loss of community and neighborhood associations or has it enhanced community building? Many argue that electronic communication lacks the tactile and personal nature of face to face contact necessary for true communities. Others respond that online communication permits a much broader understanding of community, with connection across a heretofore impossible expanse of culture and geography.

Using real-world examples, please compose a two-page essay discussing the impact of the new world of digital communication on community-building in America.

Your essay should use MLA formatting and demonstrate college-level grammar, spelling and vocabulary.

*Social capital: A network of personal relationships that provide social glue

Compare general management principles and strategic management. Show similarities and differences and apply to HIM departments and various HIM- related job roles

Strategic Workgroup Proposal

As a newly hired HIM Manager, you have been asked to participate in the organization’s strategic planning process that will involve consolidating several hospitals under one system and creating a departmental disaster contingency plan.

One of the hospitals was recently affected by a flood. The data on the computers in the basement were destroyed. Unfortunately, backups were in the next room, and also destroyed.

While it is expected that the EHR system will function across the facilities effectively, there has to be a plan in place to specify what to do for power surges, storms, floods, or failure of a main system server – these are just a few of the events that should be considered and planned for.

You begin by selecting a workgroup of supervisors, managers, and other team leads across the hospitals’ HIM departments. After the first meeting, you realize that not everyone fully comprehends the differences between general management activities and strategic management. You want to make sure they understand that the plan will have a strategic focus (higher level goals for the department as it relates to the organization merger).

As part of the participant’s role on the strategic workgroup, they will need to have strong interpersonal skills and communicate effectively to gather information and provide status updates to their sites. As the executive committee decides which employees to select for this group, they will need to be able to know what skills are needed and how these skills can be developed by the workgroup, so the process is successful.

Then, you will create a disaster plan for HIM departments, to use in the event of another flood or other disaster. Followed by an implementation checklist.

The strategic workgroup proposal, disaster plan, and implementation checklist will be presented in an executive presentation.

Strategic Workgroup

Compare general management principles and strategic management. Show similarities and differences and apply to HIM departments and various HIM- related job roles.
Provide an analysis of the human aspects of the planning process.
Analyze the critical thinking skills, emotional intelligence, and level of employee engagement needed by workgroup participants.
Provide the necessary information for the right workgroup participants to be selected.
Apply the types of processes that must occur for strategic management to be successful. There are a lot of important decisions to be made, problem solving, difficult conversations to have (as not everyone can get what they specifically want), and hard work that must be done.
Recommend how workgroup participants with these characteristics will be selected to reflect the best candidates.
Disaster Plan

Develop and recommend a contingency plan for the facilities to follow, as to not lose data during the next floor or disaster. Include both contingency and business continuity plans in your recommendations.
communications with patients and staff in case of emergency
handling scheduling of appointments and patients
documenting clinical care while the EHR is down or unavailability of data
a plan for training or rehearsing staff
Compile a list of issues that the loss of the health records would cause.
Implementation Checklist

Create a disaster checklist for the workgroup team members.
Include all the concepts that you have learned about strategic management topics, as well as, the soft skills we have focused on during the project scenario.

Explain the risks associated with committing a Type J error error in this case.

La Quinta Motor Inns developed a computer model to
help predict the profitability of sites that are being considered
as locations for new hotels. If the computer model predicts
large profits, La Quinta buys the proposed site and
builds a new hotel. I f the computer model predicts small or
moderate profits, La Quinta chooses not to proceed with
that site (data extracted from S. E. Kimes and 1. A.
Fitzsimmons, “Selecting Profitable Hotel Sites at La Quinta
Motor Inns,” Interfaces, Vol. 20, March•-April 1990.
pp. 12-20). This decision-making procedure can be expressed
in the hypothesis-testing framework. The null hypothesis is
that the site is not a profitable location. The alternative
hypothesis is that the site is a profitable location.
a. Explain the risks associated with committing a Type J
error in this case.
b. Explain the risks associated with committing a Type Il
error in this case.
c. Which type of error do you think the executives at
La Quinta Motor Inns want to avoid? Explain,
d. How do changes in the rejection criterion affect the probabilities
of committing Type J and Type II errors?
