...Leadership Development and Change Management MGT 6503 Week 7 Final Project: Cash Control Cash Control In an organization as large as the healthcare system I work for, each clinical department has their own financial group consisting of a Chief Financial Officer and a Director who is supported by two to three accountants. To name a few, some of these many clinical departments are OBGYN, Ophthalmology, Medicine, Radiation Oncology, Dermatology, Surgery, Family Medicine, Neurology and Radiology. All together, the health system is organized into about twenty clinical departments (excluding non-clinical departments such as advertising, accounts payable, legal, human resource, etc) that report to corporation’s centralized Finance department. Some of Finance’s many duties are to book journal entries that are often generic to all departments and review all the submitted P&L from each department. Once the reviews and analyses are completed, the Centralized Finance team consolidates all of the financial statements for the organization as one. My department (OBGYN, Obstetrics & Gynecology) is made up of both full time and part time employees. The department has about eighty physicians and an additional three hundred employees supporting the work of the physicians. The other supporting staff members include practice managers& supervisors, nurses, technicians, patient services representatives (PSR) and the finance unit in my group. Our department consists of...

...An Obstetricians and Gynecologists (OBGYN) are professions that have captured my interest before I was even able to do simple task such as multiplying. While in second grade, my mother’s pregnancy with my younger brother ignited my curiosity of learning the fetal development process. Always being an old soul, instead of watching shows in which the average child would, I was drawn to the Discovery Health channel watching "Deliver Me" and things of that sort. Shocking my elders, I would inform them of material they were not even aware of on the subject. My mother was pleased to see their awestruck faces and humored expressions due to her seven year old child lecturing on a range of topics from cells to a cesarean section. To bear a child, a woman's body must endure countless changes from the expansion of their stomachs to even the speed at which their heart beats. Each little change God has put in place has a purpose in the development of the baby so we humans can experience the precious miracle of bringing a child into the world; "Behold, children are a gift of the LORD, The fruit of the womb is a reward," (Psalms 127:3). It is indescribable to explain how utterly beautiful pregnancy and the birth of a child are. It would give me such great pleasure to assist in any way I can in the process of the development and delivery of beautiful, healthy babies. Furthermore I would love to see the pure joy these innocent beings bring to their parents faces....

Some of the illnesses can include such as disseminated intravascular coagulation, pulmonary embolism, and stroke, effects not as common but still have occurred and studies has proven them to be true. However, one of the negative aspects with this material is it does have some bias because leans more toward risks of abortion and negative outcomes rather than benefits. I choose this source because it gave an all around picture of uncommon illnesses that could happen, if choose abortion.

...care delivery systems include the WIC facilitators, the OBGYNs at the community health centers who refers the mothers, the nutritionist at the WIC center etc. One way in which public health and health care delivery systems compete with each other is due to the fact that both may want to see the end result of disease prevention, health care systems do not mesh effectively with other components of the public health system. This is because the health care systems are faced with dire quality and expense challenges. The Future of Public Health in the 21st Century states that health care systems are "technology and procedure driven"...and do not support the quality time needed for inquiry, reflection, and communication needed for disease prevention and health promotion.2 The influential parties and opinion leaders in the health care delivery systems includes the government- starting with the federal government, followed by the state and local government bodies such as the health departments.3 These parties are the biggest opinion leaders as we can see with the recent establishment of the Affordable Care Act. The biggest consistencies and inconsistencies with these systems with the Holy Scripture lies where public health seeks to promote health among all persons in the community but the health care delivery systems are not able to meet the needs of these community members for various reasons. The biggest reasons being affordability and accessibility. The Scripture reminds...

...central insurance institution in Poland, and is further disseminated among the 16 regions of Poland in which branches of NFZ are located. From the local community budget, moneys are paid directly to selected health care units. Due to the yet unfinished implementation of family medicine, primary health care in Poland consists of two dimensions or care models: the old Semashko model with its group out-patient units and the family medicine model. Nowadays both dimensions have equal representation in the health care system: First, part of primary health care – the remaining Semashko model – is organized based on out-patient units. Traditionally, these units consisted of different parts: general-internal medicine; pediatrics; surgery; OBGYN; district nursing care and in many cases dental care. Care in each of these parts was provided by specialists of each particular medical...

It affects many people a year and if left untreated, it could cause detrimental consequences, sometimes something as drastic as suicide.

Although, there are many types of depression, two common ones are Major Depression and Postpartum Depression. Any type of depression can affect all areas of one’s life such as work, personal, and/or school, but there are many different symptoms that someone could have.

...Introduction Cleveland Medical Mart project is the $465 million joint venture by Cuyahoga County and MMPI to construct permanent showrooms for major medical manufacturers and service providers. Showrooms focused on cardiology, surgery, OBGYN, imaging, orthopedics, sterilization, healthcare furnishings, patient care, healthcare IT and medical devices will fill the Medical Mart, paving the way for the newest generation of innovation and distribution in the healthcare sector of medical, surgical and hospital goods along with a new convention center in Cleveland, Ohio (About Cleveland MMCC , 2011). Construction of the project, which is largely being funded by a 0.25% sales tax increase passed by Cuyahoga County commissioners in 2007, began in May of 2011. As of July 2011, construction of the joint Medical Mart-Cleveland Convention Center is well underway on the historic Mall. It is the goal of the project to capitalize on Cleveland's reputation as a world class medical center by bringing medical shows and conventions to the city. The Medical Mart concept is modeled after that of the Merchandise Mart in Chicago, and will be managed by MMPI, the same company that operates the Merchandise Mart and will open in 2013(About Cleveland MMCC , 2011). This paper will discuss how risks were identified, ranked, and monitored for the Cleveland Medical Mart project.
