Introduction Medical healthcare is a complex system with different methods of organizing the inner system. It uses different ways to collect information and focus on actions. All hospitals use a specific indexing system to organize the patient database and divide care into levels. At the same time, organizations may have different approaches to work, methods of verification of documents and contracts, and pricing policy, depending on the type of enterprise. The Uses of Diagnosis and Procedure Indexes In medicine, many indicators are used that influence all subsequent decisions about patient treatment and medical research. Examples might include the diagnosis index and the procedural index. The most common purpose of the disease index is to collect and identify data from residents who have a specific disease or diagnosis. The procedural index is a record of the patient’s course of treatment and all the results of the work of the medical staff (Lintz, 2020). These indexes help organize patient data and make it easier to find and process information. The Difference Between Regulation and Accreditation The regulation includes a set of mandatory rules that are designed to protect citizens from risks. This system is more state or provincial oriented; includes indemnity insurance programs and various trends to improve public health. Accreditation is a more flexible system that is usually involved at a more local level and refers to individual medical institutions and organizations (Fortune&Nicklin, 2017). It is a system that helps to understand if an organization meets all industry standards. Four Levels of Medical Care There are four levels of medical care in the health care system, depending on the severity of the disease and the specialist required for treatment. The primary level refers to minor ailments and general practitioners; it can be a visit to the doctor for a routine eye exam. Secondary care physicians might be in
Introduction Work places are a jumble of different personalities; among the workmates, some are very easy and enjoyable to work with whereas others are stressing and hard to cope with. However, for an effective operation, all employees need to collaborate and work together for the good of the company; the different personalities must be blended to build an orchestrated winning team. Depending with the character and personality of a person, the way to manage him/her varies (Marsha 12). This paper discusses how to handle difficult people in a health facility setting. Methodology To discuss the topic, and respect the differences in personalities, this paper will look into six main attributes of difficult people. Since every character needs a different handling, the paper will discuss each on its way. Finally, the paper will offer a general comment on how to handle difficult people. The Chatterbox They are people who have a story and something to say about everything; they have the character of extroverts and can talk the entire day. When giving the stories, they disrupt someone from doing his/her duties effectively. Sometimes, especially the planners, they need their time to arrange and plan the day, however, a chatterbox will never give room to this. People with this character talk about anything, some of which may be shaming to listen in an office environment; to keep away from this people involves being calm and letting them know that you have problems concentrating when someone is talking to you. Ask them to consider sharing the story some other time. When dismissing these fellows care should be taken not to create bad blood with them since, they might end up insulting you, which results to a negative mood. An example of a soft dismissal can be I cannot concentrate on the medicines I am giving patients when you are giving me stories, please let’s book a date over lunch hour and talk further. The Gossip They are people who seem to know everything about other people and they are willing to share with anyone available, such people have the controlling voice and are the mock-mongers, when they are a colleague, they want to empty their hearts through unending stories of what so and so did. These people can easily lead a whole organization to trouble, as they want to get the attention of others and probably get their view about an issue. A general comment can be used against an innocent p
Cabramatta is one of the places where several cultures meet and intertwine in the most original and unpredictable ways possible. Though located in the South Western Sydney, the city incorporates the influences of not only the Australian and English culture but also a range of tangible features of the Oriental culture, specifically, the Chinese one. Figure 1. The statue of a turtle in the Vietnam town in Cabramatta (retail district), picture taken on 10.9.14 with a Canon camera. The Asian legacy of the city can be traced in both the overall design and the minor details, such as the decorations in the streets. For instance, the statue of a tortoise, which is also a famous tourist spot, has a range of obvious connections to the Asian culture in general and Vietnam in particular. Indeed, seeing that turtle and tortoise shells have been used as the raw material for various types of medicine for quite a while in China and Vietnam, as well as the fact that the Chinese and the Vietnamese cultures incorporate a range of myths about the specified reptiles, it will be quite logical to relate the statue of turtle depicted above to the influence of the Vietnamese diaspora located in the city (Coin & Bell, 2011). Placed at the foreground of the photograph, the tortoise facing west embodies the wisdom of the Vietnamese culture and the readiness for cooperation with the west. The way, in which the concept of peace and compromise in the process of international and intercultural communication is conveyed truly is unique, and the message is very impressive. Moreover, the contrast between the foreground and the background is very impressive. While the tortoise, which represents the wisdom of centuries, is solemn and mysterious, the elements of the 21 st -century life, i.e., the shops and the signboards down the street are more than superfluous. More to the point, the culture fusion comes out into the open as soon as one casts a single look at the signs – half of them being written in Vietnamese, the other half is obviously in English. The people that walk down the streets also clearly belong to the present-day world; in addition, they seem to have incorporated a range of elements of the English and particularly Australian culture. As a result, the gates in the background, which seem to lead to e
Introduction The ever-increasing cutthroat competition across industries and within industries has inspired many organizations to invest heavily in developing stable customer relationship. Less competitive business plants are finding it difficult to adopt themselves to the sensitive market hence losing their market share. To retain market share, it is important that an organization develop good customer relationship. Palmer (2008, p.135) cites establishment of good customers relationship as key to success in any service venture. In this regard, customer value addition has been cited as the best way of enhancing customer royalty. Customer value addition is the sum total of gains which an entrepreneur promises a customer. Therefore, this report presents findings on the effectiveness of Wynn Lass Vegas’ value addition in fostering competitive edge. In addition, the report will analyze the approach used by Wynn Lass Vegas in its service delivery. Case Study Wynn Las Vegas is one of the world leading casinos and is exemplary when it comes to customer service delivery, customer satisfaction as well as investment in infrastructure. Enz (2009, p. 167) asserts that Wynn Lass Vegas property is the first Casino to receive both mobile five star and AAA five Diamond ratings. The facility has a massive capacity of approximately 2,000 guest rooms, which are perfectly furnished. In addition, the management of the Casino has always endeavored to focus on improving customer services delivery. This has been done by offering recreational facilities such as private drive, pool, elevators and musical entertainment to all its customers. The facility has ultra-modern amenities and a sumptuous environment that are always furnished with outstanding service. Moreover, the Wynn Lass Vegas management has been vigilant in paying attention to details as well as anticipating customers’ needs; hence delivering customer satisfaction promptly. Wynn Lass Vegas is furnished with the latest state-of-the-art in all its facilities. For instance, rooms are fitted with radio frequency identification (RFID) to ensure swift internet connection for its clients. There is also luxury car dealership within the casino that ensures all the clients’ needs are afforded within the premise. Similarly, Enz (2009, p. 167) describes the casino as the first to combine both the accommodation key and the frequent-player key. This is just a glimpse of some value added services that are provided by the organization. On the competitive ground, Wynn Lass Vegas leads the way by offering hyper-services anchored on customer value addition. Apart from indoors recreational facilities, the amenity provides outdoor recreational services.

Introduction Businesses are increasingly turning to online transactions to spur growth in profits as well as savings on expenses. Online transactions allows for accessibility to goods that would otherwise be available only to locals of a particular region. The internet has brought about globalization, which has improved connectivity. Communication aids can now reach any part of the world and this is a massive boost for businesses. Several techniques have since been developed to assist in online trading. This is mainly because of the high level of risks encountered in online transfers. Issues regarding hackers and impersonation have been rife as more people come online. This is largely attributed to the huge sums of money that are traded online. E-commerce started in the developed world; however, recent times have seen increased participation from developing world. For instance, e-commerce has helped improve economies of developing countries like China, Russia, and India, among others. Recent results from Taobao, a consumer-to-consumer internet marketplace registered over 1.8 billion visitors, when it tossed a massive offer on electronics and other consumer goods. This alone shows how influential and successful e-commerce has been in the developing world. This paper will explore impact and success of e-commerce in china (The International Conference 2). E-Commerce E-commerce has improved most economies in the world. This is mainly because it enables accessibility to goods throughout the globe at any time. The term refers to trading over an electronic platform. These may include computer networks and internet, among others. In some cases, the term may draw deeper meaning than shown above. In this case, e-commerce may refer to the overall online process. This constitutes servicing, delivering, marketing, paying for goods and services, among other processes. The transactions are usually conducted over secure platforms in order to protect both buyers and sellers from hackers and impersonators. This involves use of highly secure software and programs. Increasing traffic in the internet called for introduction of online marketing and advertising. In the process, it was realized that some of the products seen online could not be accessed in everyone’s locality. In this regard, innovations from inventory management, (EDI) electronic data interchange, and internet marketing, among others were drawn to come up with e-commerce. This did not fail as its growth intensified throughout the world (Backaler 1). Current e-commerce technologies have evolved over the years and improved with focus on upgrading its security and speed, among other aspects. The system commonly utilizes World Wide Web (www) at some stage or stages of its transaction circle. However, it also utilizes other technologies that include mobile and telephone devices, as well as electronic mail, among others. It is quite important to note that most of electronic commerce processes are usually done in virtual or electronic form. Howe
Introduction Leadership approaches imply different theoretical rationales and components that form the overall management concept. As components that need to be taken into account, Mittal and Elias (2016) consider the variables of content and context. In the first case, situations are identified in which the characteristic signs of leadership appear. The variables of context manifest when a new form of relationship among managers and subordinates arises. As Bachrach and Mullins (2019) note, the main elements of the global mindset are the three forms of capital – intellectual, psychological, and social. The role of culture is also significant, and Mittal and Elias (2016) mention contingency variables that are included in the theory of contingency leadership. This concept includes those mechanisms that influence such indicators as diligence, productivity, and other aspects of work activity (Bachrach & Mullins, 2019). The role of culture in this theory is high since communication within a contingency approach is an essential attribute of interaction. Main body In order to evaluate the features of leader-subordinate relationships, it is possible to apply a special model of Hofstede’s cultural dimensions. According to Thanetsunthorn and Wuthisatian (2018), these dimensions are power distance, uncertainty avoidance, individualism, and masculinity. Based on their study, only two components of the model can have the greatest negative effect – power distance and masculinity, “whereas individualism and uncertainty avoidance have no significant impact” (Thanetsunthorn & Wuthisatian, 2018, p. 1139). For instance, in companies with a vertical management system, the interaction of leaders with subordinates will be less productive if masculine culture is maintained. As Thanetsunthorn and Wuthisatian (2018) remark, uncertainty avoidance is a more useful strategy to communicate effectively. Therefore, Hofstede’s cultural dimensions are to be taken into account when discussing the features of leader-subordinate relationships. Using Social Media to Promote Social Justice The role of social media is significant in addressing the issues of inequality and promoting justice. One of the examples of activities aimed at drawing attention to such problems is the annual organization of a special event dedicated to the struggle for social justice in Canada – Media Democracy Day (MDD). According to Skinner, Hackett, and Poyntz (2015), students from local universities are the most active participants in this event. In the focus of the members of volunteer groups, media-related problems are raised, in particular, racial prejudices and the lack of appropriate support for minorities that are under pressure in social networks. Another example of such targeted work is the activity conducted by students and having specific ideological overtones. Baker-Bell, Stanbrough, and Everett (2017) note that the involvement of a large number of stakeholders in the dissemination of important information on the need
Introduction The Getty Museum Los Angeles is a home to exotic drawings, art, manuscripts, and paintings. It is famous for the world’s most outstanding paintings done before the 20 th century such as the Arii Matamoe, Irises, the Halberdier portrait and the attractive portray of Louis XIV. The most fascinating artwork that seems to catch the eye of most tourists visiting the museum is the Arii Matamoe (The Royal End). The museum recently bought a magnificent piece of art from an identified seller and it is in very good condition. The ancient artwork had been kept privately in Switzerland and had only received public viewing once since 1946. Michael Brand, one of the directors at Getty was quick to point out that the acquisition of the masterpiece is one of the proud moments of the museum to add on to other works of Gauguin. Historical Artistic Context The artwork was done by Paul Gauguin in 1982 when he moved to Tahiti. This was the period when the last Tahitian ruler King Pomare V passed on. It was a disappointment to Gauguin who had earlier witnessed a beheading tradition by the Tahitians and had even attended such a ceremony in 1888. The painting creates an apprehensive mood with a head resting on a white cushion with its eyes closed. There are some bright flowers placed by the side of the cushion. There is a naked woman in the background who seems to be in deep thought and other people who appear saddened by events. Gauguin used an art technique that he calls ‘dessin-stamped where a piece of paper is placed at the bottom and covered wholly with printing ink. Another sheet of paper is placed on top and the artist uses it to draw the pictures. A magnificent pictorial aspect is achieved after the combination of the inks in both sheets of paper. Elements and Design Principles Excellent artwork should possess some of the art principles and elements. The artist chooses the principles and elements he wishes to be outstanding in his piece of artwork and these are the elements that are used to analyze the workpiece. Art element includes how the lines have been used, the shape, value and form of the artwork, how the colors have been mixed and the texture it appears to attain. The lines actually form the basic outline and therefore one of the most notable and outstanding elements of artwork and which form the shape of the design to be analyzed. The Value on the other hand determines the tone of the design and how the artist has applied the degree relating to darkness, lighting or contrast of the artwork. The art dimension defining the width, depth or the length of the design is achieved by the form it takes. Design on the other hand can be in various forms such as cylinders, boxes or even pyramids. It further determines the spacing of the objects thus serving as a focal point of analyzing the picture. Merging different color shades to create a particular in-depth effect further defines and differentiates al
Source: Edsall (par. 3) Introduction Social equality refers to a situation where all individuals in a particular society are of the same status. It is an ideal situation given that it is not practical to achieve perfect egalitarianism in any given community. The similarities in status can be regarded in terms of security, access to services offered, and equality before the law. Other aspects of this phenomenon include freedoms and property rights. Equality also means the absence of social classes. Also, it implies the absence of discrimination. All the individuals are provided with equal opportunities in life (Edsall par. 3). However, most people regard the concept is as a form of utopia. The reason is that, as already indicated, it is difficult to have such a society where all individuals have equal chances and rights. Economic growth is closely related to social equality. It refers to a rise in market value for goods and services produced in a particular economy within a given period. In most cases, the growth is expressed as a percentage of the annual change in gross domestic product. To achieve this phenomenon, the economy must be productive. Individuals in the country must also be engaged in meaningful economic activities for growth to occur (Porter par. 9). It is for this reason that it is important for every individual to be given equal opportunities to participate in nation-building. In this essay, I am going to analyze the relationship between social equality and economic growth. The analysis will be made in the context of an article published in the New York Times about this topic. Social Equality and Economic Growth As already indicated, there is a close link between the two concepts. Social equality provides individuals with equal opportunities to contribute to the growth of the economy (Krugman par. 12). Such people have equal chances to be productive. Equality also ensures that the potential of the society is fully exploited to enhance the development of the entire community. However, in spite of the apparent relationship, economic growth has been cited as a major factor behind social inequalities. The rise in economic prosperity leads to the emergence of social classes, which makes it difficult to achieve equality. The reason is that the benefits of these economic developments are not accessed by all individuals equally. As a result, people have come up with divergent views concerning the link existing between the two phenomena. Two schools of thought with different views have emerged. One of the groups supports a positive relationship between the two. They feel that social equality stimulates economic growth. On their part, the other group is of the view that economic gr
