Unit 3: DiscussionHealth Services ProfessionalsIntroductionRetention refers to keeping good staff at an organization. Turnover is costly in terms of the time spent to replace a staff member and the dollars spent to advertise, review applications, interview candidates, and train new hires. Effective administrators look into why good staff members leave their organization and what encourages them to stay.In this LearnScape, Bright Road Healthcare System is experiencing financial problems, for example insurers with late payments, Medicare patients with high readmission rates within 30 days (lost Medicare reimbursement), high staff turnover increasing costs, and low admissions to its obstetrics service. The Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) is very concerned as he knows this reflects poorly on him and may affect his continued employment. The student, a financial consultant, will work with Bright Road Healthcare System staff members to review and analyze how operations in the healthcare system negatively affect its finances.In the continuing evolution of healthcare, in the U.S., the industry has adopted more of a corporate model of service delivery, whereby the focus is on how to maintain a competitive advantage in the marketplace. This requires offering the right products and services, talent acquisition and retention, maintaining a healthy payer mix, managing the revenue cycle, cost containment, quality management, and innovation. Since we’re in a service delivery business, it cannot be over emphasized the significant role that people play in our industry. More specifically, we rely heavily on the competencies of highly skilled professionals when it comes to the delivery of health care services to a broad base of clients. While some turnover in an organization is healthy and perhaps even necessary, if the voluntary turnover is too great it can have a significant impact on access, cost, and quality. In the LearnScape scenario, students will begin to appreciate the impact that personnel play in the operations of a healthcare organization and the impact that personnel issues can have on almost every aspect of the business. In addition, the students will gain an appreciation for the roles and functions of certain personnel and what they perceive to be satisfiers and dissatisfiers. A discussion on the role that technology plays in improving operational efficiencies and freeing up caregiver time to better engage clients is explored.

So both essays together should have around 3000 words. There is no direct marks penalty for going below or above the recommended word count, but a failure to stick to the recommended word length may indicate the essay is overly concise or long-winded and may thus merit a lower mark.References and bibliographyYou will not be assessed on the presence or quantity of references and citations, but in order to avoid plagiarism, you must ensure that you give credit where elements of the argument are not your own. As such, just as in any Economist article, you should refer to a lecturer or author by name where you are drawing upon ideas or information from a lecture or text – e.g. ‘as Jon Beaverstock has argued…’, ‘as Jeremy Green writes in his book Is Globalization Over?...’, ‘as Pankaj Mishra has written…’.
