Overview Nurses are at the forefront in providing patient care. At the same time, medical institutions work without interruptions, and a clear shift transition is necessary to maintain their activities. Nursing essentially presupposes teamwork and adequate nursing staff levels (Duffield et al.). For this reason, there is a need to address the problem of delay to work. In nursing practice, a critical issue that goes unnoticed is nurses’ overworking during a shift when another employee is late. At this time, the burden on the nurse increases significantly. This leads to disruption to the medical organization’s work as a whole, but, most importantly, it negatively affects the quality of medical services. Problem The importance of well-coordinated teamwork and responsibility of each employee in medical organizations is obvious. However, unfortunately, the lack of discipline remains a fairly common problem (Griffiths et al.). The late arrival of an employee for work leads to the fact that their workload is transferred to the remaining medical personnel. During this time, an intensive process of overworking occurs, which is dangerous from two points of view, interconnected with each other. On the one hand, the quality of the provided medical services decreases and the likelihood of medical error increases (Carlesi et al.). This, in turn, can also negatively affect the operation of the medical institution itself, as it will increase the burden on the healthcare unit in the form of judicial and administrative proceedings (Nishizaki et al.). Research also shows that late workers affect the organization’s productivity, especially if they do not make up for the lost hours they did not work (Nishizaki et al.). Besides, they harm work ethics and team attitudes, which also directly negatively affect the medical institution’s performance. Evidence demonstrates that the lack of discipline of one employee leads to a further spread of reduced responsibility among the rest of the staff (Duffield et al.). This process is unacceptable for medical institutions. Action The main tasks of managing a medical institution are to ensure regulation of the intensity of the flow of patients to create a uniform load across departments and its distribution according to the types of care provided. At the same time, the key parameter affecting the coherence of the institution’s work is load uniformity. This also necessarily presupposes adequate provision of nursing staff levels. Maintaining and monitoring the performance of employees who meet ethical and administrative standards is essential. The late arrival of members of nursing teams to work leads to overloading the rest of the staff, as well as to numerous disruptions in the work of the medical institution. Based on the problem posed, the necessary actions are systematic monitoring of each employee’s working hours and the imposition of sanctions in
The Haute-monde culture of the post-WWI years is one of the most interesting phenomena, especially taking into consideration the transition from realism to avant-garde in art, literature, and music. This period was marked with the sunrise of a number of styles and directions in architecture, from impressionism to cubism and surrealism. Definitely, this short epoch was marked with a new form of reflecting upon the reality and new vision, and one of its representatives was the outstanding interior designer Jean-Michel Frank. The present paper is intended to discuss his contribution to the development of decorative principles. Jean-Michel Frank was born in the year 1895 to the family of Parisian intelligentsia. In his childhood, Frank dreamed about a career in law and even began to attend a law school in 1911. His plans for the future were fully destroyed in the year 1915 when both of his older brothers were killed in the First World War and his father committed suicide. Four years later, he experienced a new tragedy, which was the death of his mother in the mental health asylum (Baudot, p. 27; Pile, p.350). The young and immature man thus began to explore the world of French bohemia on his own – it needs to be noted that contemporary Paris was a place of truly cosmopolitan atmosphere, which gathered wealthy emigrants escaping Communism and civil wars. In 1927 he met the person, who appeared to define his further fate, Madame Eugenia Errzauriz, an aged and extremely rich Chilean with a peculiar sense of style (Baudot, p.28; Pile, p.351). She empowered Frank to develop his own ideas of perfect interior and brought him into the contemporary art circle, where he met the decorator Adolphe Chanaux, the painter Christian Berard and architect Mallett-Stevens. As Gray writes, “Frank admired the architecture of Robert Mallett-Stevens and subscribed to his dictum that “you can most luxuriously install a room by unfurnishing it rather than furnishing it” (Gray, p.117). In 1932, Frank signed an agreement with Chanaux to design the latter’s apartment in the Rue de Verneuil. In 1932, they opened a shop and after five years of collaboration, Frank received interior decoration projects from Rockefellers and Guerlains (Baudot, p.38). It needs to be noted that historically, the 1920s-1930s were characterized by the disappearance of underlined luxury in art, interior design, and fashion. With the fall of the world’s major empires, both interior decorators and their affluent customers were no longer content with the ideas of “royal dwelling” which implied heavy furniture, carpets, and generously embellished details like table legs. Whereas the late “imperial” style conveyed the psychological message about stability a
There is a notion that poor children achieve less success at school because they are less clever. In this paper, some arguments to support and oppose this view will be investigated. Despite the idea that living in poverty may be characterised by low school readiness, negative educational outcomes, depression, and malnutrition, children from low-income families will not necessarily tend to achieve less at school, as they still have the possibility of developing their individual skills and knowledge, they can take advantage of a family educational heritage and use opportunities offered by the government. Arguments For People live in a competitive world where they have to deal with numerous tasks, choose between options, and make fast decisions that determine the quality of life. The government takes steps to provide citizens with appropriate living conditions and promote their development (O’Connor, 2013). Governments are interested in increasing student satisfaction and the number of students with high academic ratings (Douglas, Douglas, McClelland, & Davies, 2015; Sternberg, 2014). However, these attempts are not enough to solve current problems. It is expected to pay attention to the challenges and problems poor children and their families may face in their lives (Spodek & Saracho, 2014). Some arguments may not be as strong as they should be, indicating that more research should be conducted in this area. In the United Kingdom, there are still many poor families with children. Wickham, Anwar, Barr, Law, and Taylor-Robinson (2016) find that approximately 3.7 million children are living in poverty, meaning that 3 in every 10 children are poor. The connection between countries’ economies, human poverty, and the education system is hard to overlook. Statistical data show that poverty levels continue rising, and the number of poor children is not decreasing (Bradshaw, 2016; Mansour & Curran, 2016). This fact shows that poverty remains a problem for society, and its growth can influence the field of education in multiple ways. The rise of child poverty in the United Kingdom is remarkable: nine children in every classroom of 30 students are officially defined as poor (National Education Union, 2017). Their parents work to earn a living. Still, the social background of such families is not as enriching as it could be, and children are denied similar opportunities and cannot achieve similar academic success. In addition, poverty may influence academic success. In their investigation, Wickham et al. (2016) connect living in poverty with school readiness. They conclude that at the ages of 5 to 11, children from poor families are on average already several years behind the expected norms of development (Wickham et al., 2016). Students are unprepared for the tasks they have to deal with in the classroom. Therefore they think that they are not smart enough in comparison to their peers from richer fami
Healthy People 2020 initiative aims to expand its previous goals and implement quality-based measures to improve health outcomes. As part of the program, 1,300 tasks were set, distributed across 42 areas (Shi & Singh, 2019). The vision of Healthy People is to ensure society members live long and healthy lives. Therefore, this framework’s goals are to attain high-quality prevention from diseases, injuries, or premature deaths, establish equity, and promote healthy development worldwide. According to several biblical verses, health is knowledge of God and expressing Him in life through purity, affection, and actions (King James Bible, n. d.). Therefore, by acting in accordance with the plan of the program, people will be healthy. Moreover, the verses demonstrate that when the man is sick, the others become strong to help them (King James Bible, n. d.). This can also be explained by the fact that healthy people in 2020 are focusing on more areas as more diseases appear. To ensure positive clinical outcomes, the program will provide more significant patient trust and communication. In addition, accessing evidence-based services will be the priority to eliminate the level of mortality. The healthcare procedure will be available when it is needed to guarantee each client is safe and avoid increased com
The scope of nursing practice is extensive. Whether nursing functions involve direct patient care, public health education, research, or even management duties, it is expected for nurses to act based on their critical thinking capabilities (Mahoney, 2001). Nurses must be proactive decision-makers and problem solvers. The foundation of astute decision-making and a thorough nursing care plan is a keen assessment of any scenario. Excellent nurses are perceptive to the ever-changing environment, economic trends, staff development, and health issues. Competent nursing supervisors apply methodological tools to accurately evaluate the current situation within their respective units. The most common method used is the SWOT matrix. The careful assessment of both the internal and external environment is done through the identification of the unit’s strengths, weaknesses, possible opportunities, and threats (Dunn, 2010). This evaluation could help both managers and staff nurses to focus on key issues for better planning and collective decision-making. In this light, I hope that my proposed SWOT analysis could serve as an initial step in the planning stage. The existing health policies and current hospital protocol are major strengths of the hospital. All nursing units are advised to comply with the pay-for-performance system in-home health and Medicare inpatients. This progressive movement in the health insurance system benefits the patients and medical providers. Because of this policy, the patients are assured of premium healthcare services. On the other hand, the hospitals can minimize operational costs, generate funds and enhance the quality of service by instilling to the staff the importance of meeting set performance measures for efficiency and quality. The WHO’s International Classification of Disease (ICD-10) is also essential in upholding standards of healthcare delivery. This program ensures the monitoring system for disease burden and surveillance is at par with the international standards of medical practice (WHO, 2004). Meanwhile, mandatory MRSA screening is an effective surveillance tool to reduce the magnitude of the disease by prompt diagnosis and appropriate nursing interventions. Seeing the importance of proper documentation in nursing care, core changes are being made to improve the documentation process. It is also commendable for the nursing units to adapt changes in the fire code system to enhance the general safety of employees and patients alike. Lastly, the financial department devises a strategy to decrease potential loss by contracting a recovery auditor. While the institution has its strengths, there are still some flaws or weaknesses in its present system. For instance, the insurance system is at fault for failing to include patients, aged 21 years old and above, in the Medicaid coverage. Lack of patient privacy and inadequate security still exist in the ward. This is a major weakness since nurses should practice bioethics at all times. The rights of patients to privacy and safety should be not violated. The
Executive Summary Due to current changes in the world economic situations, business is faced with the challenge of adopting measures to keep then in business currently and ensures continuity. Traditional methods of conducting affairs have become out-dated and more strategic methods are required. The initial point in developing a competitive and business continuity strategy is interpolating current conditions and developing futuristic policies. Efficiency should be embraced at all time. Introduction In the recent past, and into the future, businesses are undergoing changes in management styles to remain competitive in modern changing world. Management traditional functions have been increased to ensure that they position their business in the changing world business treads. A competitive strategy is a combination of different policies implemented by a business to ensure that an organization remain competitive. It involves a total business re-engineering and adopting management tools like Six Sigma management tools, porter’s tools, S.W.O.T. analysis tools, P.E.S.T.L.E. tool to make decisions (Camillus, 2008). The changes bring about positive influence or negative one depending with a certain industry and the way a business is prepared to face it. This paper discusses the various strategic options efficiently managed business should implement to remain competitive in the current and future projects. It will use Toyota Motor company as a case study. Toyota Motor Company Toyota is world leading automobile company with it headquarters in Tokyo Japan. It was started in 1937; its founder is Kiichiro Toyoda . In 2008 survey of top 500 big companies in the world, it emerged as the world’s number five best company. The success of the company came more to the light when it surpassed general motor’s which has been world’s largest auto mobile producer. This happened in 2008. It was possible to have increased revenue despite world’s economic crisis which started in 2007. What are the reasons behind this? What is the company doing while others in the same industry are not doing? The answers to above questions lie in the management and leadership strategies established by the company. Managers of the company are adopting different measures to ensure that there is continuity of business. They adopt strategic management tools; as the paper develops, it will give an analysis of how the company has adopted strategic tools (Toyota Official Website, 2010). Process analysis and re-engineering Current treads are different from future treads and thus the initial stage in implementing strategies to remain competitive understands current conditions in an organization’s industry. This involves interpolating internal factors that are affecting a business (IFAS) and external factors affecting the business (EFAS). Understanding the factors that affect a business will assist in making sound decisions. Managerial decisions are the dri
Introduction Business profession requires frequent communication between the clients and the people doing that particular business. Occupation in the field of business is mostly alienated to the offices. Communication in business should be a 100% effective (Adler, Rolls, & Proctor, 2008). This would help to improve the performance of that particular organization. Organizations dealing in business work are always headed by officers or manager. Very important on the manager’s docket is the flow of information from him to other employees. Creation of a perfect relationship with the employees would help cater for situations that would arise due to poor communication. Consultation is one of the best ideas when dealing in business. As much as one may be fully packed with information it is good to involve other people. For example, when collogues are involved in formulation of business policies they feel comfortable as they also participate in the implementation process. Effective breakdown of communication helps individuals to understand one another. This also helps in the development of respect among employees. Listening is also an important aspect of communication. Junior employees may worry about the reception by their managers. This is especially in business profession. When one member has a business idea and is not able to communicate it due to the fear of not being listened to, it results into failures. All workers in an organization should give a listening ear to their colleagues so as to help develop a good working relationship (Adler, Rolls, & Proctor, 2008). Innovative information might be ignored when some colleagues are not listened to. Good Interpersonal Skills in Communication These are outlined below;   * Listening is very important for effective communication. As much as it is a skilled behavior, it is also psychological. Listening skills or aspects include reflecting skills, attending skills and following skills (Adler, Rolls, & Proctor, 2008). This is very applicable in business oriented institutions. Ability to appreciate and empathize goes a long way to improve communication among colleagues in a business set up. Knowing a colleague’s personal profile, that is, the family background could help in treating the colleague in an organized manner.   * Attributes to good communication are as follows, clarity, audibility, present ability, feedback information and so much more. Employees require to be given accurate information that will guide them on what actions to take on their journey to building their organization (Adler, Rolls, & Proctor, 2008). Accurate information prevents such habits like skipping appointments.   * Good Present ability of information to the clients on the business development status is also a worthwhile st
Americans believed that the Second World War was a legitimate war. The war provided Americans with an opportunity to take control of the world and stamp authority in regions that belonged to other world powers. After the war, veterans claimed that Americans had enough reasons to join it. It is clear that there was a genuine reason for American soldiers to participate in the Second World War. Some states set a mission to conquer other nations and impose oppressive laws. America had to save the world by sending its troops to restore democracy. The war transformed the American society in a number of ways. This transformation affected all aspects of life. These changes had both positive and negative impacts. The war caused psychological traumas and persistent mental problems to various Americans. Single families were in the rise because household heads were killed in the war. Despite of all these problems, Americans endured the effects of the war. This shows that the war was a genuine because every American was willing to sacrifice. Very many nations did not withstand the impacts of the war because they ended up disintegrating. Such states include Germany, which disintegrated into East and West Germany. Americans lost their lives for a genuine reason. Veterans and survivors returned home with distressing memories and psychological problems. However, there was fear because African-Americans did not achieve their objectives. Blacks thought that the war would liberate them from the house of bondage. They had hoped that white masters would appreciate their efforts in the war. Asked whether it was a legitimate war, many veterans observed t
Introduction This essay examines racial and ethnic inequality based on an article by Erlanger Steven. The article indicates that racial profiling by the police in Paris is still a sticky issue that has to be addressed. Basing on different sociological perspectives, the article is analyzed towards understanding the phenomenon and recommending a policy framework. Good policy and grounded initiatives are the only sure way of dealing with racial and ethnic inequality. Article Summary An article by Erlanger reports that police in Paris harass black and Arab men more than their white counterparts. A research done by the “open society justice Initiative” on “ethnic Profiling in Paris” indicates that police in Paris stop and do identity checks on black and Arab men more prevalently than is the case for white Paris men. This study confirms the wide spread accusations or racial profiling leveled against the police. For one white man checked, at least six blacks and 7 Arabs are checked. Secondly, the study also established that clothing was a major factor used in profiling individuals. Out of the total population checked, those found wearing cloth that is representative of French youth culture formed 47% (Erlanger 1). Thirdly, out of those stopped, blacks and Arabs were more susceptible to police frisking and detention. From interviewees in the study, it is clear that police target youths on a purely racial line. Article Analysis Racial and ethnic inequality has been a big challenge or stumbling block in the way people interact around the world. Different sociological perspectives have been proffered to explain the phenomenon of racial and ethnic inequality or discrimination. There are four main sociological schools of thought i.e. the functional theorists, the conflict school, the interactional theorists and the labeling school of thought (Arrighi 105). The functional perspective focuses on how ethnic and racial inequality advances the interests of different groups in society (Arrighi 107). Theorists in this school of thought although acknowledging the fact that racism or ethnic discrimination cannot be admired, they point out that this phenomenon is sustained by the function it plays (Schaefer 253). In most cases, racial or ethnic discrimination is sustained by the purpose or role it fulfills especially for the dominant group. In the case of Paris, as presented in the article, discrimination against minority blacks and Arabs serves as a way of asserting dominance of the white majority in society. Secondly, through discrimination,
