Abstract
This essay states that the greatest challenges in the healthcare system currently consist of controlling costs, improving clinical outcomes, and ensuring quality care. Barriers to those goals include the nursing shortage, a rapidly aging population, competition, and reduced government reimbursement. This article addresses the most problematic issues in healthcare today but offers direction for their solutions rather than facile solutions. The paper goes on to claim that the overwhelming question for the current healthcare system presently concerns how to improve quality while reducing costs. Case management and care management are two valuable strategies which can control costs while improving clinical outcomes and ensuring quality care.

From the Paper
"The current nursing shortage appears to be intractable. Recent government downsizing and cutbacks have been followed by reduced funding for the healthcare system that is about to be overwhelmed by the baby boom generation. Never have there been so many obstacles to cost-effective, quality care. Two choices are available: case management and care management, with the latter actually being the common alternative. High-risk patients need individual case management but the vast majority of patients require some form of care management (Doyle et al., 2003). Care management is evidence-based practice since such practice is an essential element in clinical pathways and protocols. Even though standard pathways are used, stringent pathways are being eliminated since evidence-based protocols and guidelines are becoming the norm."

Abstract
This paper reports on a human resource management case, noting how a company manufacturing a unit for a toy company may be affected if the toy company stops buying the part. The paper further notes the impact this will have on the HR system and how this might be mitigated before it becomes a problem.
From the Paper
"The contract the company has with the toy manufacturer needs to be examined for this sort of contingency and for how the contract can be enforced. Research should also be conducted to see what other manufacturers might be able to use this component and how well they could replace the toy manufacturer if that becomes necessary. Projections need to be made for human resource needs with and without this particular order. "

Hospital Management Case Study, 2005.
This paper is an analysis of a critical thinking case study: "Let It Pour - My First Assignment as Executive Assistant".
2,325 words (approx. 9.3 pages), 6 sources, APA, AU$ 76.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper states that the position of the hospital is that it lacks skilled management. The author points out that the organization seems no longer to believe in the premises for which it was established as reflected in the differences in the opinions of various people on the Board of the organization and in the inability of the CEO to control these differences. The paper relates that the CEO is not able to manage the differences in opinion among the hospital staff and there is a laxity in not fixing the rules under which the staff has to operate in terms of medical and financial operations especially in the area of medical insurance.
From the Paper
"The thinking of the CEO is clear from his statement saying "I report directly to the Board of Directors of the Faith Foundation. Its diversity alone represents a kaleidoscope of thinking and decision-making. The grand point of commonality among the Board members is their support of the purpose, values, and survival of Faith Hospital." (Let It Pour: My First Assignment as Executive Assistant) The problem is thus not only in the hospital but goes even further and it goes to the Board. The Board embers do not have identical opinions about the method of running the hospital and this means that the differences of opinion will percolate down. At the same time, they all want the hospital to continue operating, but this is difficult if they do not have unanimity in thinking or decision making."

Power Structures
Change Management Strategies
Leadership Style
From the Paper
"Good Sport is an athletic equipment manufacturer that is considering a new piece of athletic equipment. A designer with a history of successful products, Frazier O'Donnell, has conceived a new fitness device termed the XtendSport. Initial feedback on the device is positive and the potential for a blockbuster fitness trainer is a very exciting prospect for Good Sport. However, sales and marketing (S&M) is somewhat reluctant to embrace a new product and are skeptical about its marketability and sales potential. Additionally, production has expressed reservations about its ability to integrate a new product line into current production operations. Finally, Good Sport appears to have allowed its various departments to evolve into fortress type structures within the organization that may prevent new products, such as XtendSport, to be accepted and successfully shepherded through the organization."

Abstract
This paper explores the reasons why case management has been determined to be an important element for the cost-effective improvement of patient health. It looks at the objective of case management, the defined roles of case managers, their functions and responsibilities, the various models of case management in health care systems and the differences in these models, and how case management affects patient welfare and economic variables. All of these aspects are explored with the intention of demonstrating the value of case management in the health care system.
From the Paper
"In the face of continuing healthcare reform, it is crucial to examine strategies that will carefully balance high quality patient care with cost efficiency. The emphasis of primary care has become a priority due to the increasingly dependent elderly patient population. Services and care need to be provided that focus on prevention and patient empowerment for self-care, which ultimately improve health incomes as well as save financial resources."

From the Paper
"Improving the quality of the care provided is widely suggested in the 1990s as the solution to many of the problems being faced by health care institutions (Phipps, 1992). While medical professionals have no quarrel with striving for high quality health care, many of these individuals do tend to reject initiatives that appear to be further manifestations of codified bureaucratic machinations that likely will have no long-lasting positive impacts on the quality of health care services (Jeffer, 1991). Nevertheless, many theorists and observers both inside and outside the medical establishment suggest that a quality management program can lead to improved quality in health care (Banham, 1993)."

Abstract
This paper explains that case management involves helping the patient find, access, and benefit from the medial procedures, treatments, and lifestyle solutions available to his or her particular needs. The author points out that case management, which usually is administered under the centralized direction of a case manager, is indicated for complex or chronic patients, including those in long-term or geriatric care, in order to insure that their unique and usually complex needs are adequately met. The paper relates that CCPED provides home and community-based services for Medicaid-eligible persons who are 65 years of age or older or persons of any age who are disabled, including traditional home health care services, medical day care, medical transportation, respite care, and social adult daycare.
From the Paper
"Some examples of services that can be coordinated and supported through good case management is the creation of an individualized treatment/care plan, establishment of a connection between the patient and government support or benefits, education aimed at helping the patient manage his or her condition in a positive way, coordination between the many providers often required in complex, chronic or long term cases, as well as help in scheduling needed treatment or services."

Abstract
This paper reviews a crisis campaign or over-arching strategy geared towards ensuring that Karma-Organic Food for Dogs can emerge in good condition from a bruising product recall, which has turned its industry upside down. The author identifies the groups that should be targeted by any marketing campaign in the grim aftermath of this recall. The paper points out that crisis planning involves reminding the public that the company is concerned about its consumers, quality, ethical business practices and making a product that can meet the most exacting quality standards. The author concludes that the best communication strategy is to accentuate the positive and the company's long and distinguished history of providing organic food at economical prices so that Karma-Organic Food for Dogs can emerge from this industry-wide crisis a winner.
From the Paper
"Before going too far, it is important to discuss in some detail the entire recall crisis. To begin with, a quick glance at the Menu Foods recall website reveals that the list of recalled items has grown recently and that ChemNutra Wheat Gluten appears to be the main culprit responsible for the crisis. Furthermore, the website indicates that Menu Foods is taking (or was as of March, 2007) steps to divine the cause of the illnesses striking the pets of customers - the identification of the aforementioned ChemNutra Wheat Gluten (and the massive recall of food products) would seem to be the most significant step."

Where the climate is negative and the union strong, a company may not be able to perform various activities without the union consent. Such situations can foster a feeling in some managers that workplace relations are 'too hard'. This, in turn, produces managers who do not give priority to human resources, ..."
