processes and interactions by which workforce planning and development is evolving in this new environment. Informed by the theory of loosely coupled systems (LCS), we use a case study design to examine how workforce changes are being managed in Kaiser Permanente and Montefiore Health System. We conducted site visits with in-depth interviews with 8 to 10 stakeholders in each organization. Both systems prove a concern for the impact of change on their workforce and have made commitments to avoid…
A writers thoughts are honest ones: many Americans dealing with the emotional toll of this busy society often don’t take time to adhere to their emotional and physical needs. One such woman, Karen Cangialosi, worker at Kaiser Permanente’s Positive Choice Wellness Center in San Diego and leader of a group called “Healing Through the Written Word” through the Creative Arts Therapy program, discusses the inability for people to cope in a positive way and introduces writing as a highly effective…
As any country Germany does have some setbacks whereas the U.S. have been able evolve at a faster rate. Since there are no physician networks or a set of providers that the German population are tied to, the continuity of care is not substantial.

Redundancy of care becomes a big issue because physicians order…
top of their work, it does help aid in staying organized when you have a busy schedule and many other classes and other assignments that are due. Other than that, the quick email and DB responses are always a plus/positive. I am also interning at Kaiser at GSAA (Fremont, Union City, Hayward,…

The partners set out to create an enterprise in home and community building. They began building communities, not unlike the FSA’s camps that were built only a few years prior. The Kaiser communities had a recreational center, school, and a clinic. Many of the Kaiser Community Homes were prefabricated, which meant…
the Parliament in any nation-state. The debate of what extent Germany, in the years 1900-1914, was a parliamentary democracy or not can draw up a simple conclusion based on substantial evidence. Von Bismarck’s constitution worked in a way that the Kaiser, whilst being head of state, had to obey and work within the constitutional framework.

at the gates of Versailles, the king and queen still living in extreme indulgence, oblivious to the complaints of their subjects. Because of Louis’s financial negligence, food supplies become sparse and the cost soon skyrocket. (Kaiser) (Goldstone; Merrick; Thomas Kaiser; Goldstone; McPhee; Darnton)…
inevitable. The treaty of Versaille forced us to take blame as we were the last standing central power because Austria-Hungary had fallen. As for the letters where it says, the kaiser supports the war effort that was between two austrian diplomats so there is no solid evidence that the kaiser actually supported the war. The Kaiser actively didn’t seek out war and he tried to hold off the german military for as long as possible. He is also to have been reported telling his generals “you will…
