Critics of safe staffing guidelines argue that this will only increase their high operational costs. When you look at everything that will result from the guidelines it will show that safe staffing patterns can be very cost effective. High nursing turnover and the need to utilize agency or traveling nurses increase nursing costs. By keeping nurses satisfied, less stressed, and with the tools to adequately care for their patients those issues are nonexistent which places staffing costs back in budget. Safe staffing guidelines will improve performance, improve patient mortality rates, and decrease liability.…
Also I would be responsible for insuring that that rest of my employees received proper training on security to ensure that there will not be anyone taking a nonchalant attitude toward security in the future. I would also be…
The adjustments that I would make as a manager would be for Pam to try another way (without using more money), other than brochures such as: to call the list of senior executives and schedule meetings, power point presentations with statistics, so she could sell them the program and answer any questions about the senior executive leadership program; Pam should also send them emails with an option for comments to receive feedback from the senior executives. This will entice the senior executives to go to the training program. Pam should continue the program and run it at a loss, because 10 senior executives are enrolled in the program; 10 people are better than nothing, at least with 10 people the company will get some of the money back. Also the program starts in four weeks, which gives an open door for more people to register. Pam should make sure that the senior executives have the best experience so that they approve the training for the mid-level managers.…

Simulation has been used to educate healthcare professionals. The medical field has been enhanced, since additional training was implemented in the healthcare field. The staffs have to chance to practice their skills in a safe environment. Due to the fact, Medicare and Medicaid stop paying for patients who are been readmitted within 30 days periods, healthcare members need to find a solution to prevent unnecessary readmission. I believe, the number of readmission rate can be reduced, if proper educational program is provided to patients and caregivers before they leave the hospital.…

The department of radiology found to improve patient safety, three significant cultural changes needed to happen: identification, accountability, and open communication. (Donnelly, Dickerson, Goodfriend, & Muething, 2010)…
As for goal 1 (efficiency, productivity, deadlines), I maintained above-average productivity (+ 15 percent over the unit’s average) despite the transition to one-screen teleworking environment and a marked reduction in the number of FADO documents available for translation. No deadlines were missed. Also, I continued to be available for stand-by duty, both on weekdays and weekends, and readily volunteered to work overtime on all occasions when offered to do so by our coordination officer. With regard to goal 2 (team spirit), along with five other colleagues, I participated in the group tasked with coming up with activities to consolidate the team-spirit within the unit. I was able to put forward an idea whereby groups of two to four randomly selected colleagues would get together for lunch in the cafeteria.…
I designed the books of 10 to keep things simple and attainable while still providing vast knowledge to the reader. Primarily these books are intended to enhance the knowledge, skills and abilities of Law Enforcement (L.E.) and Military members. Whether its corrections, security, protection, patrol, investigations or another branch of L.E. our overall mission is still relative, “Protect the innocent”. If you have not heard me say it before, it’s important that this becomes your business. No, this task cannot be conducted by L.E. itself, it relies heavily on Courts, Juries, Prosecutors, Law Makers, Community Leaders, Parole and Probation, Business Owners, Child services, Social Services and many other departments.…
Dynamic Duo, Inc. employees 75 people, but the management states that they have little experience and knowledge regarding safety regulations. The plant and every employee working for the company is in danger of unforeseen safety hazards since no one is concerned with safety. If the management does not understand the need for a safe work environment, how is the employee supposed to understand how to properly complete a job task in regards to OSHA guidelines? Dynamic Duo, Inc. needs to enforce the need for a safety program and it should start with the management team. It is required that any company having more than one employee, should have a thorough safety program in place (Battles, 2011).…
