Case study- (Planning for COVID-19 in a rural acute care hospital
Role- Supply Chain Management
Assess the roles of various health care stakeholders to ensure that health care programs meet the needs of
the recipients and comply with regulatory and payor requirements.
Analyze the benefits of integration within the health care system
All assignments must target the content application while using two variables: the job choice and the case
assigned by the faulty
Your Supervising Manager called a meeting early Monday morning to discuss the tasks you will need to
accomplish in this week. They were very complimentary about the efficiency of your performance and the
quality of the submitted Memo. However, further investigation is necessary to make sure all areas of the
managerial situation were covered accordingly.
You are asked to conduct research and to compile the information about the HC-specific stakeholders related
to this situation using the table provided (see below). Make sure to choose the stakeholders that will be
involved in your area of expertise (as per your job description).
For example,
-the Clinical coordinator may choose the CDC (Center for the Disease Control) as a stakeholder due to the
mandatory reporting and follow up on the guidelines.
-CDC affiliated stakeholder would be a local health department that reacts to the situation based on CDC
provided preparatory guidance. At the same time, the local health department would be a direct stakeholder for
the Clinical Coordinator because its representatives will be directly involved in guiding potential public health
issues at the site.
**All information should be presented in a table format. You can use bullet points, subcategories, and other
white space organizational components.
The briefing statement from week 2 and the stakeholder analysis from week 4 are the base for your week 5
group assignment- the linkage map.
Make sure to provide a minimum of four credible sources from the UMGC library, the stakeholder home
website, and the information pertaining to two discussed stakeholders (one chosen direct and one affiliated to
the direct stakeholder). APA format is required for the citation and references.

Supply Chain Management (SCM)
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP).

Using the textbook and other resources, compose a paper that provides the following:

(a) a working definition of Enterprise Architecture (EA) including guidelines that focuse on the collaborative aspect of EA.

(b) a description of an application of EA. By citing a meaningful example, associate the core activity performed by an enterprise architect as it applies in real business.

(c) an example of risk management and a potential mitigation for a representative risk scenario.

In relation to these three enterprise IT solutions in a business-IT framework, provide

(d) an analysis the selection, implementation, and support for one of these solutions into real-world business-IT scenarios. Finally,

(e) an explanation about a selected solution (CRM or SCM or ERP) as it relates to IT infrastructure and integration of legacy system using middleware or as it related to a fit with business processes.
