Question Description

Hide Submission Folder Information


Your Supervising Manager called a meeting early Monday morning to discuss the tasks you will need to accomplish in this week. He/she was very complimentary about the efficiency of your performance and quality of the submitted Memos. However, further investigation is necessary to make sure all areas of the response were covered accordingly.

You are asked to conduct research and to compile the information about the HC affiliated stakeholders in this situation in a table (attached). Make sure to choose the stakeholders that will be involved in your area of expertise (as per your job description). For example, the Clinical coordinator may choose the CDC (Center for the Disease Control) as a stakeholder due to the mandatory reporting and follow up on the guidelines. CDC affiliated stakeholder would be a local health department that reacts to the situation based on CDC provided preparatory guidance. At the same time, the local health department would be a direct stakeholder for the Clinical Coordinator because its representatives will be directly involved in guiding potential public health issues at the site. All information should be presented in a table format. You can use bullet points, subcategories, and other white space organizational components.

The template is attached. Make sure to provide minimum 4 credible sources from the UMUC library, the stakeholder home website, and the information pertaining to 2 discussed stakeholders (1 chosen direct and 1 affiliated tot he direct stakeholder). APA format is required for the citation and references. Post the table in the Group Forum and in the dropbox for grading.

The briefing statement from week 2 and the stakeholder analysis from week 4 are the base for your week 5 group assignment- the linkage map.

Running head: BRIEFING STATEMENT Beverly Martin HMGT 300: Introduction to the Healthcare Sector August 29, 2018 Professor Todd Kane 1 BRIEFING STATEMENT 2 BRIEFING STATEMENT Emergency Planning “This years flu outbreak is one of the worst in 10 years, ” Emergency Management Plan is based on the company standard as a coordinated organizational response to the Flu outbreak. Effective assessment and planning will reduce the impact of the emergencies on the quality of care provided to our patient base. The initial assessment will include information/data gathered from interview and examination of the patient to be used in individualizing the patient care needs and to provide the patients progress. Reassessment occurs with significant change in the patients health status and diagnosis. Mitigation This phase of emergency management involves proactive efforts to minimize the severity and impact of a potential disaster and reduce the potential for an event to occur. Pursuant to the results of risk assessments, the Safety Officer will assist with the identification and implementation of appropriate mitigation efforts. In an effort to provide optimal patient care, the care needs of each patient will be determined through a systematic approach in the collection and analysis of data. These care needs will be consistent with the mission of the Health Care Organization. The goals of the visit and the patients desire for care and the patients response to previous care and treatment. Coordination with Community The medical needs of patients during this outbreak are of high importance to our organization. Our organization have a clear and reasonable plan in place to address the needs of our patients during this crisis. BRIEFING STATEMENT 3 Environment of Care Committee and Governing Bodies It is the company’s policy to cooperate with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations. The EOC will meet with the community, county and state agencies Once emergency measures are initiated, the logistic leader will utilize our vendors lists for essential supplies and services. We will also reach out to our partnering health care organizations for additional resources (if available). Those decisions will be made by the designated personnel and or logistic leadership Program Implementation and Processes The organization maintains on hand supplies that may be required for an extended emergency at all times. For those with short shelf life and those that require continual replenishing we will contact our suppliers immediately upon suspecting a shortage or influx of patient volume. The plan will consist of continually monitoring inventories required for the Flu season and for the aftermath. We have a contractual agreement with the pharmaceutical supplier to replenish and distribute supplies. Formal agreements and arrangement have been made with organizations and local health department who can provide adequate care and assistance, provided we are unable to do so Recovery To assist in the planning of the recovery process, departmental leadership will continually assess the risk level associated with the flu epidemic. This phase is to quickly re-establish business, continue the provision of care and maintain financial stability BRIEFING STATEMENT 4 References Evans, H. the flu outbreak of 2013 is expected to be amongst the worst in a decade, CDC warns”. NewYork Daily News http://www.nydailynews.com/life-style/health/flu/outbreak-2013expected-worst-decade-c https://www.cdc.gov/flu/weekly/who-collaboration.htm Running head: CRITICAL THINKING 1 Critical Thinking: Memo Name Course Tutor Date CRITICAL THINKING 2 Critical Thinking: Memo To: Supervising Manager From: Financial Coordinator Date: Date Subject: Healthcare issues related to AC Problem The organization has recently been a victim of health issues that are connected to the air conditioner system. Some employees have been affected by contracting respiratory diseases such as pneumonia which has come to my understanding that the current air conditioning system installed throughout the entire building is not functioning in the normal way. This issue has become severe over the past two weeks with a couple of employees contracting fatal infectious pneumonia. Some of the complaints presented by the employees include breathing problems, headaches, and fatigue as well as the general feeling of illness. There are also some signs of fungal growth on the air conditioning systems which suggests that the employees are most likely to be exposed to fungal spores which can potentially cause respiratory issues. As the financial coordinator, the primary concern here is that a lot of employees have been calling in sick and this slows down the operations of the organization. Therefore, it means that the general income will decline eventually, causing some financial problems to the organization at large. Solution The health care issue should be dealt with immediately before it becomes a bigger problem. I recommend that the air conditioning system is replaced with a new one. After calculating the cost of repairing the entire air conditioning system, it is clear that the installation of a new system is going to cost slightly cheaper. After installation of the new air conditioning system, there CRITICAL THINKING 3 should be regular clean up to ensure that there are no molds or bacteria that grow or breed there. The new system will be monitored for the first one month to analyze its performance concerning the cases of respiratory diseases among the employees. Apart from installing a new air conditioning system, the organization’s building should have an Internal Air Quality assessment done to help ensure that there are no molds that have grown in the building. The evaluation will also provide that the different gases in the room are at the right levels to minimize cases of respiratory illnesses. The organization should be able to catch up and return to its previous financial levels if the recommendations are followed effectively. However, these recommendations should be employed immediately to assure this financial restoration. Finally, the remaining employees who have not been affected by the respiratory diseases should receive pre-treatment before the other sick employees resume to work which will reduce the probability of these employees contracting the illness them a chance to maximize on their skills to restore the organization’s financial condition. In the 2013-2014 Flu outbreak, there was urgency in mitigation strategies in order to reduce the fatality of the disease. A different range of interventions was employed in order to reduce the transmission. The main purpose of these interventions was to buy time before the formulation of vaccines. In spite of the rapid effectiveness of these interventions, they were very costly in terms of the social and economic perspective. With the high mortality rate as well as a high potential to spread rapidly, CDC emphasized on a number of non-pharmaceutical and pharmaceutical public health control options. Although the pharmaceutical methods or options played a crucial role to reduce transmission, the technicality and significance of the nonpharmaceutical approaches cannot be avoided (Hickmann, 2015). These approaches or options included postponing of public events, closing down of schools to reduce social contacts as well as the use of masks and hand washing to minimize transmission rates through the air.
