your workplace, be sure to utilize data from that healthcare organization; if you created a hypothetical healthcare organization, you may use a public domain

database with instructor permission. You will also implement your performance improvement initiative and discuss what success of the performance

improvement plan will look like after implementation. As this is a scholarly initiative, this assignment must adhere to all APA requirements and formatting, and

include peer-reviewed and evidence-based sources to support any and all claims. As you develop this final part of the assignment, consider the following

prompts to formulate your paper.

IV. Implementation of the Plan in the Organization

A. What interdepartmental communication channels will be used for plan implementation?

B. What manner of data interpretation will be used to communicate the findings within the organization?

C. If this initiative was implemented, what do you believe would be the hypothetical effect(s) on patient care outcomes?

In the next phase, ruminate on what you learned in your interview—especially anything that helped you to gain a deeper insight into the topics you studied in the course—and write a research and reflection paper in which you draw upon learning shared with your instructor and colleagues, your individual learning, and knowledge you have gained from the interview to demonstrate a more in-depth understanding of the foundational principles of management. In your paper, go beyond recitation of memorized facts or regurgitation of information; strive to synthesize the most important topics of management (i.e., leadership, personality, motivation, decision-making, communication, and the importance of good management to yourself and to society) into a hybrid research and reflection paper.

Your paper should integrate responses to each of the following questions in a well-organized and coherent paper:

What leadership precepts did your interviewee impart to you , and how do those dovetail with one or more of the modern theories of leadership?
How do the personalities of workers, colleagues, managers, and subordinates impact your performance in, and experience of, the workplace? How do they interact with one or more leadership models to create the most effective work environment?
In light of your interview, the leadership model(s) you’ve discussed, and your own personality, what one or two tenets of motivation theory have you taken away from the course?
How do your understandings of motivation theories impact your conceptions of the best practices when it comes to making decisions and communicating at work?
Based on your interview and on learning from this course, what does it take to be an effective employee, a successful manager, and an exemplary citizen of society?

You will select a film you think represents an anthropological situation.

This is purposefully very broad so it can include almost any film. For example, the film’s protagonists might be fighting for a cause they believe will improve their community, but encounter philosophical or structural problems along the way, or maybe you choose a film where the protagonist loses his/her faith and finds it through a clichéd series of events.Post your choice in the Module Three discussion.

Make sure to briefly introduce your selection, explain what anthropological situation you will be analyzing, and state why you chose this particular film. If you have any questions regarding this milestone or would like help choosing a

movie.

Successful Implementation of Electronic Health Information Technology

Since the inception of the HITECH Act, health organizations have faced increased pressure to update their health information technology (HIT) resources. As discussed last week, many believe that the increased use of electronic health records and the quick and efficient communication afforded by HIT can lead to improved quality of patient care. Yet there are significant costs associated with implementing such systems. What can organizations do to ensure that the correct system is selected and that the system will be appropriate for those required to use it? Who should be involved in those decisions?

This week introduces the systems development life cycle and discusses how it can guide an organization through the complexities of adopting a new HIT system. In this Discussion, you are asked to consider the role of nurses in the SDLC process.

To prepare:

Review the steps of the systems development life cycle.
Think about your own organization, or one with which you are familiar, and the steps the organization goes through when purchasing and implementing a new HIT system.
Consider what a nurse could contribute to decisions made at each stage when planning for new health information technology. What might be the consequences of not involving nurses?
Reflect on your own experiences with your organization selecting and implementing new technology. As an end user, do you feel you had any input in the selection or and planning of the new HIT system?
