Posted on | by admin3

 

Scenario

Knowledge-Based Management (KBM) Systems allows for the health organization to employ new methods of processing and analyzing knowledge. KBM promotes knowledge-based insights to solve problems and aid in decision-making. In healthcare, KBM systems provide a solution for enhancing operations and improving efficiencies.

The long-term care industry is experiencing unprecedented changes and increased oversight. The changes in reimbursement models, accreditation standards, and pay for performance initiatives require skilled leadership in both, the administrator and operations management roles.

As COO of a long-term care facility, you are conducting a training program for newly hired health care administrators and operations managers. Part of your training involves a review of the importance of Knowledge-Based Management strategies in the decision-making process. Prior to the training, you determine that evaluating the use of Knowledge-Based Management can assist in illuminating the importance of employing knowledge-based strategies.

Instructions
Conduct a comprehensive literature review of 10 scholarly journal articles published within the past 10 years on the topic of Knowledge Based Management. Suggested areas of focus include: Key components of knowledge management; Dimensions of knowledge; Processes of knowledge management; the Management of knowledge in the context of operations management; the Importance of knowledge-based management in health organizations; and Knowledge management and organizational strategy.

The purpose of the review is to support your assertions that the use of Knowledge-Based Management Systems will help administrators and operations managers in making key decisions relative to improving operational efficiencies.

Roles of Advocates and Consultants/ Similarities and Differences

Posted on | by admin3

Respond to two of your colleagues’ postings in one or more of the following ways:
• Suggest one alternative contribution that advocates and/or consultants could make towards addressing the social problem that they discussed.
• Provide one insight that you had or conclusion that you drew about how advocates and/or consultants further social change in the human services profession.

Social problem
The social problem I choose for my final project is the implementation of Technical and Vocational Educational and Training (TVET) in low-income communities in Guyana, South America. TVET programs aim to reduce educational inequality by addressing the multifaceted needs of low-income children and youth (Galindo, 2017).

Roles of Advocates and Consultants/ Similarities and Differences
By definition, advocates do more than one of the following: (1) speaks on behalf of; (2) make recommendations; (3) support or defend, (4) argue for a cause; and (5) plead on behalf of others (Alliance for Justice, n.d.). On the other hand, the engagement of consultants varies by foundations type and is used to help support various aspects of work, such as (1) providing expertise in technology; (2) helping with communications and marketing; and (3) helping with evaluation (McGill, 2015).
The use of consultants in communication and marketing will be utilized because of the diversity of Guyana ethnic groups, which includes Indo and Indigenous Guyanese and Afro and Mixed Guyanese within the communities (Constantine, 2022). Advocacy in organizing, a legislator on education issues, training, public education, and educational networking will be the main focus since the social program addresses the lack of TVET programs in schools. In the beginning, the primary focus of advocacy will be educating the public about the social issue to identify and engage the key stakeholders. Identifying individuals to gather information such as the history of the current situation (Stroh, 2015) will help build an understanding of the current reality of the social problem.

Watch the video on Genie Wiley (https://amara.org/videos/doXnriWsAEgx/url/651014/) .

What ethical considerations do you think apply to the research conducted on Genie (consider the APA’s ethical principles and standards when answering)? Compare and contrast these ethical considerations to the ones most relevant to the classic examples of ethically dubious psychological research: the Stanford Prison simulation and Milgram’s learning experiments.

 

Change management is key to ensuring that an organization remains adept in providing state-of-the-art health care

Change management is key to ensuring that an organization remains adept in providing state-of-the-art health care. As the world changes and communities evolve, patient and personnel needs require fresh and effective ways to meet them. Operating as a reactionary wears heavily on organizations and leaders. Planning for innovation and its diffusion breathes new life into the world of care and of work. Day-to-day operations can be a garden for growth when leadership is skilled at change management.

This Leadership Project assessment requires you to create a change project implementation plan designed for making an impact in your organization. You will create a Microsoft PowerPoint® presentation incorporating the details of your change project and daily leadership plan.

Create a 15- to 20-slide PowerPoint® presentation that includes the following: Please put in “notes page view”. Otherwise, I have to download to grade the speaker notes and upload. I want to grade in the gradebook without downloading. The link below create speaker notes gives directions.

Leaders seek out change opportunities regularly. Innovation, critical thinking, and decision making are key to making an impact on an organization through change management. This assessment is designed to help you look at aspects of your own clinical practice and become a change agent in your organization. Use your current or past experience to identify a change project to implement

 

Leadership behavior during times of organizational change.

Posted on | by admin3

 

As an experienced HR consultant, you decide it’s best to collate your responses to their queries. You decide to send a memo with some model leadership behaviors expected during change implementation. You will also emphasize that the leadership team needs to own the change management plan and the role of HR is that of a facilitator rather than a leader of change.

Prompt
Write a memo to the company leadership. In your memo, emphasize the need for model leadership behavior, especially during crisis or times of significant change. Also, emphasize that the role of HR is that of a change facilitator, as opposed to a change leader.

Specifically, you must address the following criteria:

Describe the need for model leadership behavior during times of organizational change.
What are model leadership behaviors that should be encouraged across the organization at any time?
How should leaders inspire the workforce to cultivate an environment that encourages knowledge sharing?
Explain how leaders should coach and mentor employees as the workforce transitions through change.
How is a change leader different from a stakeholder of change?
How can change leaders coach and mentor the workforce to deal with change?
Describe the role of HR as a facilitator of change.
How correct is it to expect HR to lead rather than facilitate change?
How exactly is a change facilitator different from a change leader?

“Why Market Forces Will Overwhelm a Higher Minimum Wage” by David Neumark

In Chapter 6 of the textbook, read “Why Market Forces Will Overwhelm a Higher Minimum Wage” by David Neumark then read the following Forbes’ article. While some information in the article is less current such as the anticipated Biden bill which has been outlined, the article provides a comprehensive history about the minimum wage.

Suppose you are an economist in charge of designing policy to help low-wage workers. Would you prefer a minimum wage or an earned income tax credit? Why?
