Risk Management: DHA 805 Final Paper Assignment Guide for 2024 Semester

This post covers Risk Management, as detailed below.

FINAL PAPER ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS DHA 805 FALL TERM-2024 The syllabus for the final paper is: Length of paper: The total length of the text portion of the paper should be 7 to 12 pages, DOUBLE SPACED. Please try to stick within these page lengths. Efficiency in the structure and presentation will be rewarded. You should have no problem meeting the minimum on this paper Due date: This paper is due at MIDNIGHT on SUNDAY, December 22, 2024. DO NOT WAIT UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE, AS MOODLE MAY HAVE TROUBLE TAKING IT. I will have to grade all of them by the end of the following weekend, so there will be little time for additional extensions. Style and details: Please use Grammarly and Turnitin, as the goal here is to challenge you to create a concise and well-organized memorandum to your CEO. REMEMBER MY WARNING ABOUT LETTING GRAMMARLY FORMAT YOUR PAPER AND THE HARSH CONSEQUENCES OF USING AI. If English is not your native language, please trust me to recognize that and accommodate the extra challenge. Do not be embarrassed to make sure I know this fact (in a footnote.). This is a “Risk Management” class, not an English writing class. I am looking for precision of thought more than fluency in writing. I strongly advise you again NOT to use any AI assistance with this assignment. It might make it easier, maybe, but its cheating and, more importantly, it is cheating you. You will not have AI available all the time to do your thinking for you, and if it is, you won’t have a job anyway. The paper should have a short (one paragraph) “Executive Summary.” Look this term up on the internet for further details. It is intended to be a summary of your presentation, not a summary of the task assigned. Stick to the details in the syllabus regarding double spacing and font size. Use one (1) inch margins all around. Page numbers should be included. You may have a cover page, but one is not required. Please demonstrate your use of resources and research, which may include readings for this class. ASSIGNMENT: You have a job as the middle-level executive in a 250 bed hospital. [You have the freedom to invent the details of the hospital.] The hospital is technically a “non-profit” hospital, but it is run as close to a “for profit” goal as possible. As a result of dislocations to the health care industry in your state/locality, your hospital has suffered a 15% loss of trained health care provider staff across the entire hospital, including physicians, nurses, and licensed personnel of 1 all kinds. The hospital has been operating five (5) clinics, in addition to the regular hospital services: a walk-in orthopedic clinic; a referral based radiology department with MRI, CT, and ultrasound facilities; a labor-and-delivery suite with neonatology; a wound care center with hyperbaric equipment; and, a locked, in-patient pediatric psychiatric facility. Your CEO has assigned you the task of making a report to her, for presentation to the hospital Board, assessing the risks associated with closing two (2) of these five clinics. She has asked you to describe the risks of closing each clinic, as well as the risks of continuing to run the clinics. You should evaluate the following: 1. 2. 3. the risks of continuing to offer the services in each clinic with 15% less staff; the benefits of continuing to offer the services of each clinic; the risks of transferring non-physician personnel from the clinics to be closed to those that will remain open, and an assessment of the training challenges/risks of using inexperienced staff in the new clinics; 4. the potential personnel problems and possible solutions resulting from either (or both) transferring employees to new assignments or laying off any extra staff; and, 5. regulatory and any other problems or risks that may be encountered. Make a recommendation which two clinics should be closed, with a brief explanation why they should close and the others should remain open. Then, identify and describe in detail the consequences you anticipate (such as any process or implementation issues) and how you should prepare to manage them. Suggest a basic timeline for the implementation of your suggestions, taking into account the risks that you have identified and the steps you propose to take.” · Order #133555
