...Team Based Health Care Delivery Oliver Solis Grand Canyon University Analysis of Contemporary Health Care Models HCA-515-0101 March 5, 2014 Team Based Health Care Delivery Introduction The paper that I will be presenting will discuss the latest model in health care delivery that was developed by researchers and medical professionals to come up to a better quality health service delivery to all. This is called the “Team based health care delivery” which simply defines as the collaboration between hospitals, physicians and other medical professionals that will work as a team to provide a quality and excellent care to the patient (American Hospital Association, “n.d.”, p. 2-8) Patients Case This case that I will be presenting is a case of a seventy year old man with hypertension that was admitted at the emergency room for CVA (Cerebro Vascular Accident). Upon arrival of the patient at the hospital ER stroke neurologist and the ER physician are the front liners that will see the patient. A nurse should be attending too to administer any medication and apply intravenous solution and of course take all the vital signs of the patient. .The patient must be evaluated within 45 minutes and the first 15 minutes is the most crucial in this case. Increased pressure in the brain should be monitored closely. Blood sugar is also a big factor and should not be neglected because it plays a special role too. Body temperature is another indicator that should not be forgotten to be...

...Assessment Code: RWT1 Student Name: Nicki Nelson Student ID: 0096768 Date: May 5, 2012 Mentor Name: Andrea Johnson Table of Contents Executive Summary 4 Introduction 5 Research Findings 6 Performance Based Compensation 6 Grade Based Compensation 7 Broad Banding or Team Based Compensation 8 Recommendations 8 Conclusion 9 References 10 Executive Summary Our main goal for a compensation strategy should be to retain high performers, those who work hard, and wish to grow with the company, (Kleimann, 2008). In thinking of these issues, I discovered employees don’t stay at employers because of pay. They stay for the culture. They stay because they get along with their supervisors. They stay because they are heard by senior management. Only 54% of those employees polled, rated compensation as very important, while 62% of employees polled stated opportunities to use skills and abilities at work as very important, (SHRM, 2011). With contemplating this information, I began looking at compensation strategies that rewarded more on skills or abilities than being rated by one person or based on an overall yearly raise. I discovered three possibilities to enhance employee morale on their skills, performance based, grade based, and team based (also called broad banding), (AndieCZ, 1995). Most of the three types of compensation packages I...

...BUSN460 Senior Project Final Report and Presentation Guide Overview: The object of this course and this project is to provide you with a realistic situation that you are likely to face in the real world business environment. You'll be working with limited information, limited support from your client, within a limited time frame - and yet, you have to get up to speed in a new area quickly, and make informed professional recommendations based on your research and analysis. You and your team have been hired by CanGo as consultants to help them improve their fast-growing business. The management team at CanGo is busy, not entirely organized and somewhat overwhelmed by their success. They are looking to you as an objective, intelligent, experienced business person - and to your combined experience as a team to help them figure out what they should do in several areas of their business. CanGo can provide very little guidance to you - if they knew what they were doing they wouldn't have asked you for help! CanGo is your customer, and they are paying you a great deal of money, so the tone of your work on the project should be that of information addressed to the Board of Directors of this company, and it should be the best professional work of your (academic) career. You should approach this project as if your job depended on it - as if it were paying your mortgage and grocery bill. This project is your new job. In previous courses you have been given specific guidelines, templates...

...completing the task statements and the KSA statements I realized that this type of job analysis could be very effective when creating a new position. There are many different strategies that have been used to determine what type of analysis should be used for what each individual company may need. I came across an article that did a study and review on what KSA’s would be required to do a job analysis that was based on groups, in order to determine what KSA’s are needed for teamwork. The study concentrated on three areas based on groups. The first one was KSA’s instead of personality traits. Second, team KSA’s as opposed to technical KSA’s and last team versus individual analysis. The article stated that focusing on KSA’ s characterize traits such as trust, helpfulness and supportiveness which are all excellent traits to have when working with a team. The study focused more on team instead of technical KSA’s because team was directed more towards social and interpersonal skills that are needed for teamwork. The team versus individual part of the study focused on each individual within the team specifically because each team member is an individual hired separately from the other team members and when they are evaluated that is also on an individual basis. So to focus on the team itself would not be fair to each individual. I read another article that talked about strategic job analysis and hoe the KSA’s are used to measure the effective performance for a job not for now...

...BSAD 221 01 Alexander Lewis NHL Team Salary Cinco de Mayo 2015 Morrisville State College Professor Boyce Part 1 Data Represented By a Population A population is all the subjects that you want to study. It takes every part of a category that is going to be studied and makes it a known hole. The population for this project would be Forward Cap, Defense Cap, Goaltender Cap, Total Cap, and Cap Space. Data Represented By a Sample A data sample is a set of data collected or selected from a statistical population by a defined procedure. Data Collection Methods (Non-Probability or Probability-based) The difference between Non-Probability and Probability-Based sampling is that Non-Probability uses or involves a random selection where the Probability-Based method does not. This means that Non-Probability samples can’t depend on the rationale of the probability theory. Using a Probability (Based Method) To make sure the sample I collected is Probability-Based, I used a Stratified Random Sampling. In a Stratified Random Sampling, you divide the elements of the population into smaller groups called strata. This will be used in my dataset where I will gather the different team into different strata. Part 2 1. The set of data that I chose for this project includes 30 observations and 6 quantitative variables. The data includes 30 measurements of the NHL team’s salary. The detailed salary per team was measured by Spotrac. The variables in the data set are Forward Salary...

...1. De Wit, Frank R.C, Greer, Lindred L., Jehn, Karen A. (2012) The paradox of intragroup conflict: A meta-analysis. Journal of Applied Psychology. Pp 360-390 2. Purpose of study: The first analysis on the effects of intragroup conflict on group outcomes were studied by De Dreu and Weingart. Since this study, more than 80 new types of studies have undergone analysis. The purpose of this study is to conduct a meta-analysis of intragroup conflict and its relationship with group outcomes. The goal is to find if certain altercations and conflicts will somehow affect the outcome of some sort of team based or group based project. They are using the new wave of study focusing on more complex, moderated relationships between conflict and outcomes to provide a new and updated analysis of intragroup conflict. 3. Methods: A database was used to search for studies that were based around relationship conflict, task conflict, process conflict, group outcomes and were then included if they gave sufficient statistical information. They then did the same search for literature articles and used the same inclusion criteria to break it down to 116 useable articles for the meta-analysis. They also used and collected information regarding aspects that may have had an influence on whether conflict was positively or negatively related to group outcomes. 4. Results: The results show task, relationship, and process conflicts are reliably negatively related to trust and group member commitment....

...Using a Team- based Approach to Increase Productivity and Reduce Costs. Student’s Name University Abstract The topic for this study was a team-based approach to increasing productivity and reduce costs. Fresnillo Plc, a silver mining company, incorporated in Mexico was used as the case study, Palaveev (2013). The primary goal was to increase silver mining rate by not less than 2 % by the year 2018, such a project requires the company to encompass team-based approach. All stakeholders received necessary training and participated in brainstorming. Throughout the study, it has been found that team approach is one of the best strategies to adopt to enhance successful completion of such projects, Rhoad (2008). However, an organization will be faced with resistance to change as some of the stakeholders fear venturing into the unknown. An organization that has adopted team based approach accrues enormous benefits such as increased productivity, high motivation, reduced costs, flexibility and greater innovation. Moreover, they can complete the project within the set time frame, Brown & Hyer (2010).
