...Organ Donation and its Impact on HIM and Documentation Kathleen Gallagher Rasmussen College Author Note This research is being submitted on November 25, 2012, for Kathleen M. Gallagher’s M243/HIM2410 Health Information Law and Ethics course. Organ Donation and its Impact on HIM and Documentation Health information professionals provide many basic and supporting functions that are critical in health care. One of the major job requirements is the professional’s responsibility for the patients’ legal record. The American Health Information Management Association and the Health Information Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) set guidelines for ensuring the quality, integrity, privacy, and security of a patient’s Protected Health Information. Health Information Management (HIM) professionals must have an ethical character, and be responsible for overseeing adequate and accurate health records. Organ and tissue donation and trans-plantation is an area of bioethics that has regulations to guide the HIM professional in making sure the legal health record in complete. Understanding the HIPAA privacy rules and regulations for organ and tissue transplantation will help the HIM professional when needing to receive or disclose health information. These laws are set in order to protect physicians, patients, families, as well as the health care facility. Principles of ethical decision making have an impact on choices patients and their families make regarding this...

...Discuss the relationship between CSR and PR and analyze the ethical issues that arise. How may practitioners ensure their CSR programs are more than just rhetoric? CSR "Corporate Social Responsibility is the continuing commitment by business to behave ethically and contribute to economic development while improving the quality of life of the workforce and their families as well as of the local community and society at large".(Lord Holme and Richard Watt-Making good business sense) CSR has become a relevent issue in the business field. Nowdays people judge a companys reputation with the way how they deal with their social and environmental responsibilities. Sevral studies revealed that responsible ativities are increasingly valued and demanded by stakeholders.(consumers, investors, community,journalist etc) who see in such activities the civic behavior of bussinesses, and which in turn influences their evaluation of the companies. According to study carried out by MORI in UK indicates that ,75% consumers while evaluating a company considers its level of social responsibility to be important, almost 90% of employees believe that their company should be socially responsible, almost 40% of analyst and investors consider it very important while evaluating the company and over 50 % of journalists consider social responsibility to be very important while judging the company. CSR can be better understood as a means of reinforcing both reputation and legitimacy, as it provides an...

...DEVELOPMENT & GLOBALISATION REVISION NOTES (HUMAN GEOGRAPHY) GLOBALISATION: A HISTORY: * Some believe globalisation began in 19th century when transport and communication expanded rapidly, world trade grew leading to an increase in interdependence between richer and poorer nations, and capital flows expanded as European companies started operation in other parts of the world * In late 20th century, globalisation was shaped by: emergence of free market ideas, de-regulation of world financial markets, emergence of WTO, GATT, IMF, NICs, opening of large economies of China and India, development of global marketing; global marketers view the world as one market and create products that fit various regional marketplaces. GLOBALISATION: * Increasing interconnection in the world’s economic, cultural and political systems. FORMS OF GLOBALISATION: ECONOMIC: under both the GATT and its successor WTO, world trade has expanded rapidly; TNCs have increased economic interdependence and several generations of NICs have emerged CULTURAL: western culture diffused to all parts of the world through media POLITICAL: influence of nation states diminished in many areas as more and more countries organised themselves into trade blocs; influence of Western democracies on developing countries has also been strong GLOBALISATION CAN BE SEEN IN TERMS OF: URBAN: hierarchy of global cities emerged to act as centres for global economy DEMOGRAPHIC: growth of international migration...

...5 Performance measurement Nonprofit organizations need to view revenue as a resource needed to achieve their missions. Obviously, revenues must exceed expenses over the long-term or an NPO will not survive. —Glenn Rowe Key Topics: balanced score card, customer feedback, competitive comparison, strategic objectives, blue ocean strategy W hat makes an organization “good” at what it does? Or, as Jim Collins (2001) would ask, “What makes an organization great?” Most would acknowledge that accountability, effectiveness, and achievement of desired performance outcomes are minimal requirements for any organization’s success. These requirements demand a measurement system relative to an organization’s mission, vision, values, and strategic plan. This chapter discusses methods for establishing such systems. In doing so, we echo Worth’s (2012) concern that “nonprofit managers must be committed to performance measurement but should not become overly focused on it to the detriment of delivering their mission’s programs” (p. 157). Performance measurement Process Before engaging in performance measurement, it is vital to understand the level and scope of the process. Measurement can be conducted for effectiveness or performance at the program/project or organizational level. Effectiveness relates to achieving the mission, while performance is a broader concept that considers financial results and other variables related to the overall organization. Once the scope and level of...

...Richard Attias Become a fan Email The Development Factor: The Challenge of Sport in the 21st Century Posted: 10/21/2014 8:39 am EDT Updated: 10/29/2014 9:59 Sport occupies a peculiar place in world dynamics in that it surpasses the limitations of geographical boundaries and social classes. Still, a gap remains between developed and developing nations when it comes to sport. In the industrialized world, sport as an economic sector represents approximately 2% of GDP. For developing economies, though, the challenge remains making sport a factor of economic development, and a driver for social change, so it benefits all citizens in the long term. UNESCO's 1978 International Charter of Physical Education and Sport classified sport as "a fundamental right for all." But the low place sport occupies in the developing world's priorities shows that its importance as an educational and social tool is not yet universal. Everyone agrees that sport contributes to economic development by creating jobs and stimulating business activity. The organization of a major sporting event, for example, is a great opportunity for the local economy. The thousands of people who attend will spend money on food, lodging, transportation and other, related tourist activities. However, in recent years, we see these economic benefits are obvious only the short term. If we take the example of South Africa in 2010, the positive impact of the World Cup was, in terms of job creation and reduced crime...

...The International Journal of Organizational Analysis 1997, Vol. 5, No. 2 (April), pp. 156-179 GAINING A PERSPECTIVE ON INDIAN VALUE ORIENTATIONS: IMPLICATIONS FOR EXPATRIATE MANAGERS Suresh Gopalan Joan B. Rivera West Texas A&M University India's emergence in the international business arena presents challenges to Western-trained expatriate managers assigned there. These expatriates are familiar with management theories and practices based on value orientations very different from those in India. Kluckhohn and Strodtbeck's Value Orientations Framework is used to provide an overview of the different types of cultural values an expatriate manager will confront in Indian society. The impact of Indian values on various management practices, including team composition, leadership, motivation, and human resource management functions is also discussed It is hoped that this examination of the dominant value orientations of Indian employees will facilitate the successful transfer of Western expatriates to India. Over the last two decades, the Pacific Rim countries of Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, China, and Southeast Asian countries of Thailand, Malaysia, Hong Kong and Singapore have achieved tremendous economic success (Adler, 1994; Foster, 1995). A relative newcomer to this group of countries is India, which is emerging as an industrial power to be reckoned with. As a consequence of the free market reforms and economic liberalization programs pursued by the Narasimha Rao administration...
