First Steps on Becoming a Grassroots Lobbyist/Advocate for Health Care Policy

This assignment has two parts, numbered below. Write each question as a new topic area, then follow with a paragraph or two to answer the question. You may find it necessary to search for answers to the questions outside of the assigned reading. Be sure to use APA guidelines for writing style, spelling and grammar, and citation of sources.

Tasks:

  1. Imagine that you are going to make a visit to your representative in Congress. Develop a one-page document that supports your position on the AHCA that you would leave with your representative or his or her aide when you make your visit. This one-pager, also called a “leave behind,” should state your position clearly in bullet points and give your reasons why your position is preferred. This “leave behind” should have 1 inch margins and utilize 14-point font throughout. If you were making this visit in person, you would present your “leave behind” to the person with whom you speak during your visit. Include a second page that describes your rationale for the position in your “leave behind” page supported by at least two journal articles.
  2. Write a two-page brief to describe the scenario surrounding your legislative visit. Understanding the political affiliation of your representative, include answers to the following: 
    • Was your member in support or in opposition to the AHCA?
    • State three points that you would cover in support or opposition to your representative’s position.
    • How does your nursing experience influence the advocacy position that you take on the AHCA?

Submission Details:

  • Submit your response in a 4-page Microsoft Word document.
  • Name your document SU_NSG4068_W3_Project_LastName_FirstInitial.doc.
  • Submit your document to the Submissions Area by the due date assigned.

Trends in Human Resources in Healthcare

/in /by

For the past 10 years, Methodist Hospital Health System (MHHS) celebrated the fact that 60% of its new hires in management positions were women and minorities. The MHHS leadership assumed that with such a practice, women and minorities would eventually represent at least 50% of their top management executives (vice president level and above). But then something unexpected happened. A few years ago, MHHS became concerned that its diversity program was not producing results. Instead of seeing an increase in the number of women and minorities in executive positions, the organization was observing a decline. Talented female and minority managers were leaving, draining the pool of capable and qualified staff.

To address this problem, MHHS founded the Task Force on Retention and Advancement of Women and Minorities in Executive Positions (TFRA). This task force aimed to pinpoint the reasons why female and minority executives were leaving by conducting a massive information-gathering initiative, which included interviewing female and minorities at all levels, as well as former employees. The team uncovered these main areas of concern:

  1. Limited opportunity for advancement
  2. Lack of mentoring, coaching, and networking
  3. Existing work and family issues
  4. Lack of succession planning
  5. Lack of positive culture and transparent communication about promotion and professional development
  6. Lack of relevant and effective training, job development, and employee empowerment opportunities
  7. Cultural bias toward women and minorities, and an “old boy” network system
  8. Organizational resistance to embrace diversity
  9. Uncompetitive salary and benefits

In response to these findings, MHHS must retool the workplace.

Instructions:

You are the CEO of MHHS and have been asked to present a plan to the Board of Directors for retooling the workplace to meet the goals of a women- and minority-friendly employer, and to have women and minorities eventually represent 50% of the top management.

  • Your presentation must address strategies in the following areas:
  1. Recruitment, selection, and retention
  2. Communication
  3. Research
  4. Performance management
  5. Technology and innovation
  6. Change management
  7. Another area of healthcare management of your choosing
  • Be innovative; think creatively.
  • Your submission must be 13-15 pages in length. You must include title and reference pages, and a table of contents; however, these should not be included in the total page count.
  • You have an outline and references list due in Week 6. This is worth 40 points toward your final Portfolio Project score. See the Module 6 folder for further details.
  • Incorporate 20 credible and current references. Ten of these must be peer-reviewed articles. The CSU-Global Library is a good place to find these references.
  • Format your paper according to the CSU-Global Guide to Writing and APA Requirements.
