Application: Planned Change in a Department or Unit

Health care organizations are continuously immersed in change from the emergence of new policies, to promote quality care and improve patient safety to keeping pace with the rapid growth in knowledge and best practices. Establishing a solid framework for planning and implementing change is a wise move, as it provides a foundation for the extensive coordination that will be needed to successfully facilitate the change.

For this Assignment, you propose a change at the department or unit level and develop a plan for guiding the change effort.

To prepare:

· Review Chapter 8 in the course text. Focus on Kurt Lewin’s change theory, and contrast it with other classic change models and strategies.

· Reflect on problems, inefficiencies, and critical issues within a specific department, unit, or area in your healthcare organization or one with which you are familiar. Select one issue as a focal point for this assignment, and consider a change that could be made to address the issue.

· Think about how the change would align with the organization’s mission, vision, and values as well as relevant professional standards.

· Using one of the change models or strategies discussed in Chapter 8, begin formulating a plan for implementing the change within the department/unit. Outline the steps that you and/or others should follow to facilitate the change effort. Align these steps to the change model or strategy you selected.

· Determine who should be involved in initiating and managing the change. Consider the skills and characteristics that are necessary to facilitate this change effort.

Services Markets and Ethics – Discussion

Topic 1:

Pick two services companies, one consumer company, and one business-to-business (industrial) manufacturer. What can a company in each of these industries do to make its services more tangible to customers?
Topic 2:

A soda company wants to market their product in several lesser developed countries in Africa. What ethical considerations do you think they need to address and why?

For this Assignment, you will assume the role of a case manager assigned to create a case management plan for four (4) juvenile offenders now assigned to your caseload from the juvenile court. Each juvenile comes to you as a member of a “special population” and presents individual treatment needs. You will present your plan in a PowerPoint presentation to your manager.

Prepare a 12-18 slide PowerPoint presentation (not including the cover and reference slides), describing the multidisciplinary case management needs of the special populations of juvenile offenders now assigned to you. These special populations were discussed in weeks 3 and 4. In your presentation, create a general case management plan for each of the different four (4) special offenders of your choice, but be sure to identify them from the special populations discussed this term, analyzing the particular assessment, treatment and management needs of each. As to each population, identify both challenges, risk/protective factors, and solutions to managing that population. Make sure to identify the key players, including treatment providers, necessary for each juvenile’s case management plan.

Also include Speaker’s Notes on the slides to explain what is being discussed as though you are presenting to an audience. Remember to add the appropriate citation to your slides, either on the slides directly or in the speaker’s notes section.
