...Introduction This paper will describe performance management and how Camber’s current performance evaluation system works to provide me feedback on my job as a Field Support Representative for the Navy. In addition, it will also provide possible suggestions about how to improve the performance evaluation process. Performance Management Cascio (2013) stated “Managers must observe performance, certainly a representative sample of an employee's performance if they are to be competent to judge its effectiveness.” (p.338). Performance evaluation is necessary. If employees are to know and understand how they are performing in their jobs it is important for employers to provide goals that the employee needs to attain, provide them with the resources available to them and provide feedback on how the employee is performing their job. As a manager performance evaluations should contain three areas for the employee. One area is the employee’s performance. "A manager who defines performance ensures that individual employees or teams know what is expected of them and that they stay focused on effective performance." (Cascio, 2013, p.333). The performance should include goals for the employee to meet the next evaluation period. These goals should have a structure in terms of the measurement of the goal and the level the goal should be fulfilled. When establishing goals for my yearly evaluation my boss will include some job skill that will enhance my current knowledge and performance...

ACS wanted to ensure they would continue to be a valuable resource to the healthcare field for an additional 100 years to come. “CHANGE” was the only way to be certain this would happen but in order to change ACS would have to diagnose the changes that would needed.

...Is Cultural Health Capital a Booster Shot for Primary Care in Population Health? A primary care preventive care service and a curative health service that can be incorporated into broader population health efforts The prevalence of childhood obesity is unquestionably one of the most irking problems in the public health system in the United States. Research indicates that the percentage of children between 6-11 years of age who are obese increased from 7% to almost 20% between 1980 - 2008 (Homer and Simpson, 2007). Obese adolescents (ages 12-19) increased from 5% to 18% during this same period. Nearly 25 million children in the United States are overweight or obese (Clinton J. Foundation, 2012; Centers for Disease and Prevention, 2011). Obesity is a preventable problem that has gained national attention. Through some recent efforts to curb childhood obesity such as on school health policies and practices, reduced diets and lifestyle changes are creating a difference. The recent Affordable Healthcare Act offers Obesity Screening and Counseling Services to both adults and children as a preventive care service. The management or treatments of those who are overweight or obese with various antagonizing health problems such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure, heart diseases, type 2 diabetes, colon cancers, and other health problems are challenging and costly (Centers for Disease and Prevention, 2011). Incorporating the Obesity screening and counseling services into a broader...

...Training and Development Laura Vandergriff HCS 341 January 10, 2011 Casey Training and Development Health care of today continues to be the fastest growing industry in America and faces many challenges to its delivery systems. Training and education of health care professionals is important, training measures effectiveness and is a key objective for the development and training department. Training is skills and knowledge for each team member who will benefit personally. Training improves recruiting; job hunters are looking for training and personal development and growth. Training improves higher retention, when individuals know the company has their best in interest at heart they are more likely to stay for a longer period. Training gives better output, when the turnover rate is low, production, motivations and enthusiasms is among workers who produce a better service or product (Kelly Services, 2011). Health care education is vital; the need for properly educated and trained health care professionals is crucial. The need for health care professionals to keep us well is high. Health care professionals range from doctors to nurses to technicians. Our health depends on the accuracy and skill of these individuals. Without the training and education of the professional we would not be able to treat, diagnose, or care for ourselves. Health care education goes beyond the professional and people are beginning to recognize the need for concern about their health, ones health...

PRECEDE (Predisposing, Reinforcing, and Enabling Constructs in Educational Diagnosis and Evaluation) outlines a diagnostic planning process to assist in the development of targeted and focused public health programs. PROCEED (Policy, Regulatory, and Organizational Constructs in Educational and Environmental Development) guides the implementation and evaluation of the programs designed using PROCEED.” (http://www.answers.com) One of the major causes of health related deaths in America today is cardiovascular disease. We live in a society where the majority of the families have parents working full time jobs in order to make ends meet. Parents don’t have time to cook healthy meals and fast food, in a majority of cases, is the answer for quick meals. Because of these factors School Age children often have a poor diet; consumption of soda, candy and fast food is the diet of choice. School Age children are spending more time in front of TV, computers or gaming devices than ever before. Combinations of poor diet and lack of activity is a major factor in childhood obesity. Childhood obesity will be presented as a topic and we will assess the need for this issue in the community. By discussing this topic it will help in the reduction of childhood obesity...

...access in the health care sector refers to the ability for a patient to receive the care and services required to maintain a healthy quality of life. Access to health care services continues to be a key issue for Canadians and health policy makers.1,2 Key issues exist in several dimensions of the health care process, including access to a specialist, non-emergency surgery and non-emergency diagnostic testing. More specifically, it is the significant amount of time one will spend waiting for their opportunity to receive these services that remains a concern. Among those who had waited for specialist visits, 29% reported unacceptable waits. This was also true for 17% of patients who were waiting for a non-emergency surgery and 20% for those waiting for diagnostic testing.3 Median waiting times for all specialized services remained relatively stable between 2003 and 2005 at 3 to 4 weeks, depending on the kind of care. Approximately 18% of individuals who visited a specialist indicated that waiting for the visit affected their life, compared with 11% and 12% for non-emergency surgery and diagnostic tests respectively.4 Despite several efforts made by government agencies, access still remains one of the foremost issues identified. Billions of dollars have been invested to solve this chronic issue, unfortunately several obstacles still remain impeding significant progress to solve accessibility issues in the Canadian health care system. Policy makers continue to strategize on how...

...not surprising since research shows that, although the incidence of I.S. is about 12% in the general population, the incidence of I.S. for those with learning difficulties, dyslexia, Autism, ADD, and ADHD is about 47%. If I.S. is not identified and treated, educational progress is limited and areas such as behaviour and self-esteem are affected. The links between educational failure, lack of self-esteem, and behavioural problems and with crime and incarceration have been accepted for some time. Over the past fifteen years, the link between Irlen Syndrome and these factors has been established. If Irlen Syndrome were to be appropriately treated, inmates could start to make progress in these areas. If Irlen Syndrome is left untreated, a barrier to learning and taking a positive and appropriate place in society remains. Irlen Syndrome Irlen Syndrome has been researched both educationally and medically and is a recognised syndrome that has a physiological basis. The medical research has shown that parts of the light spectrum, which are specific to each individual, cause the brain to process visual information incorrectly. This incorrect processing of...

Marketing is a fundamental key to any businesses success and involves determining the needs, wants and desires of consumers and satisfying them to the best ability. Classic Airlines is the world’s fifth largest airline they command 375 jets serving 240 cities with about 2300 flights per day for about a quarter of a century. Classic Airlines has around 32,000 employees. They earned about $10 million on about $8.7 billion in sales. With the uncertainty about flying Classic Airlines and the industry has seen this affect stock prices, Classic Airlines in particular has seen a 10% decrease in their share prices over the past year. Classic Airlines is also dealing with low employee morale, and the consumers’ confidence also seems to be declining as well. (Anonymous, 2007a) According to their financials for the past year, Classic Airlines would have been losing money if it were not for the $15 billion aid package passed by Congress for the airline industry (Kaye, 2002), which is resulting in a $22 million Income Tax Provision...
