Accreditation compliance is an essential topic in contemporary healthcare management since it is crucial for organizations to continue operating and providing high-quality medical services to populations. To facilitate compliance, managers should evaluate the status of their institutions regularly and make corrections to make the accreditation process easier and avoid issues. The Joint Commission is an excellent resource for organizations wishing to improve and maintain compliance since they publish relevant documentation that can be used for self-assessments and compliance checks. The present paper will seek to evaluate the current compliance status of the Nightingale Community Hospital, examine negative trends, and develop a plan for improving staffing levels that would help the organization to meet the required standards. Current Compliance Status The eighteen standards of the Joint Commission that apply to the case are   * Accreditation Participation Requirements – Compliant, as the medical institution, timely submitted the required data, provided accurate information throughout the accreditation process, and allowed the Joint Commission to use the reports from publicly recognized organizations.   * Emergency Management – Compliant due to the available Emergency Operations Plan containing the communicative strategy and managing the resources and assets, as well as the safety and security policies in the case of an emergency.   * Environment of Care – Non-compliant due to the insufficient adherence to the safety standards, which was proven by the smoke wall penetrations on the 1 st and the 4 th floors and inappropriate life safety measures testing.   * Human Resources – Compliant. The audit has shown that the hospital defined and verified staff qualifications, hence, determining the way and the manner the medical personnel functioned within the organization.   * Infection Control – Compliant, as the institution has proven its responsibility in identifying the risks of transmitting infections, as well as providing the experienced employees and the needed resources to maintain the standards of the infection prevention and control program.   * Information Management- Non-compliant, as the audit has shown that the progress and nursing notes, as well as physician orders, contained inappropriate and not standardized abbreviations, which could, subsequently, lead to misinterpreting the information provided.   * Leadership- Non-compliant; the lack of administering control resulted in the inappropriateness of documenting the necessary information, thus, leading to excessive workload. Non-compliance with the leadership standard showed the importance of restaffing in the medical institution.   * Life Safety- Non-compliant. Observations during the PPR
First published in 1811, Jane Austen’s novel ‘Sense and Sensibility’ is an example of a traditional English novel. A source for numerous researchers (Bander, Downes, Pellerdi), it depicts the life of that time. The plot is not very tricky or unexpected. After the death of Mr. Henry Dashwood at the beginning of the story, his wife and their three daughters, Elinor, Marianne and Margaret stay with little money and nowhere to live, for everything was inherited by their half-brother, Mr. John Dashwood. Thus, staying at the crossways, the ladies make a decision to leave the house, for living with Fanny, John Dashwood’s wife becomes unbearable. They move to the Barton Cottage, offered by Mrs. Dashwood’s cousin, and are welcomed with open arms. I suppose it was the correct decision, because of its consequences, finally, led to the happy end. Firstly, Mrs. Dashwood and her daughters did not feel well at their house. After the death of their dear father and husband, everything reminded of him at the house. The situation is reflected in the plot: “Mrs. Dashwood remained at Norland several months; not from any disinclination to move when the sight of every well known spot ceased to raise the violent emotion which it produced for a while; for when her spirits began to revive, and her mind became capable of some other exertion than that of heightening its affliction by melancholy remembrances, she was impatient to be gone, and indefatigable in her inquiries for a suitable dwelling in the neighbourhood of Norland; for to remove far from that beloved spot was impossible” (Austen 9). She probably found some reconciliation and peace in the idleness she lived with. Finally, after Sir John Middleton’s invitation, they left the beloved house and went away to meet their new life. Despite sad farewell to the native place, now they were not likely to have time to grieve. So, the change of place was sure a good thing for all of them, and especially for young ladies. New home meant new surroundings and people. At their welcome dinner, the Dashwoods got acquainted with Colonel Brandon, the friend of Sir John. He seemed to be an old bachelor for Marianne, although she felt respect for him (Austen 27). At that time nobody could predict that the meeting was momentous. Unluckily, the Dashwoods had no carriage and could not visit the neighbors, so the ladies enjoyed walking in the beautiful countryside. Once during the walk, they were caught in the pouring rain, and Marianne hurt her leg. That was the moment for one more fatal meeting, this time with Mr. Willoughby, who helped Marianne to get home. The above events would never have happened if the Dashwoods had not left Norland. After all, Elinor married Edward Ferrars, and Marianne gave her heart to Colonel Brandon. Thus, we can conclude, that the choice they made was a correct thing to do. Apart from the life choices, the novel is recognizable due to its women characters. The Dashwood sisters illustrate the title of
Introduction The issue of same-sex marriages provides a heated debate due to lack of neutrality and diversity of opinion among writers and everyone else in the society. There is huge religious opposition of extending the laws on marriage to cater for gay marriages. Based on these grounds, homosexuality face secularly based moral objection, rejection or only partial acceptance and this paper will base the argument on this indications. The dispute against same sex-marriages is also depends on various worldly arguments in relation to the moral principles, ethical and religious values. The debate is either a double-sided sword that supports or opposes discrimination against bisexuals and homosexuals. This paper supports that people are generally entitled to right of protection against discrimination based on sexual orientation. There must be equal benefits over protection by civil laws. Both the opposite and same-sex couples require legal recognition but this does not mean the argument herein is a one sided support for need to change the meaning of marriage to incorporate gay marriages. Arguments Against Gay Marriages In line with Somerville (p 3), the nature of marriage is a presentation of a societal institution that symbolically protects human nature of reproduction through advocacy of opposite sex marriages in terms as inherent relationships. The development of the society depends on the institutions such as religious societies that guide on various matters such as marriages and major argument against gay marriages have foundation on these religious institutions. Marriage Since time in history, the religious definition of marriage is an institution of putting together and upholding social and cultural values that govern the transformation of human life such as the procreation matters. To date, marriage in the religious setting presents an institutionalized situation t
The relationship between parents and children is one of the themes that are often explored in various literary works. This paper is aimed at discussing two novels, namely This Boy’s Life by Tobias Wolff and Into the Forest by Jean Hegland. In particular, it is necessary to discuss the way in which parents influence the attitudes and values of Tobias, Nell and Eva who pass into young adulthood. It is possible to say that lack of parental attention makes Toby him extremely self-centered and ambitious since in this ways he tries to overcome his feeling of worthlessness. In contrast, the parents of Nell and Eva help daughters retain devotion to one another at the time when many people are driven only by the need to survive. This is the main difference that can be identified. At first, one should focus on Tobias’ experiences. It should be noted that this boy wants to be called Jack in honor of the famous writer Jack London. This is how he explains his reasons for this decision, “I wanted to call myself Jack, after Jack London. I believed that having his name would charge me with some of the strength and competence” (Wolff 8). This detail immediately attracts readers’ attention. Overall, this choice indicates that Tobias struggles with lack of self-esteem because he lacks the attention of his parents. Moreover, this behavior can be described as escapism which means that he attempts to create a desired image of himself without really trying to change his real qualities. Additionally, this boy prefers to tell others that he is “a straight A student”, even though his academic performance is far from perfect (Wolff 213). To a great extent, this behavior could be explained by the lack of parental concern for his needs. In contrast, Nell and Eva do not struggle with the sense of alienation, even despite the fact they parents passed away. They remember that their parents always cared about their needs and they taught them to be loyal to each other. These girls feel fully self-sufficient when they are together. This is one of the main aspects that should be identified because it illustrates in the difference in the worldviews of Toby, Nell, and Eva. Additionally, Nell and Eva understand that their unity is vital for their survival in the world. Moreover, one cannot say that Nell and Eva are driven by the need to attain success at the expense of another. In her diary, Nell writes that the separation with Eva will be intolerable to her. She says, “I was already weeping and screaming and begging her not to leave me” (Hegland 77). These girls rely on the memories of their parents who showed them why a person should value his/her relatives or beloved. In contrast, Tobias does not have close relations with other children or teenagers. Moreover, he is afraid of developing an attachment to another person because he does not want to cope with negative emotions or “hard feelings” provided that “closeness ends” (Wolff 217). This difference suggests that parenting
Introduction Ethical behaviour can sometimes be tricky in its form; how a business carries itself can leave a good or bad impression on consumers and other businesses. Most businesses are today interested in profits than anything else, thus failing to check on critical aspects such as ethics and consequently their downfall. Evidently, companies that practice ethical values are incomparable to businesses that just want to make a profit (Crystal, 2010). Implementing Business Ethics in a company’s work environment could have benefits that include improved job satisfaction, a higher degree of organizational commitment and reduction of employee turnover. Right things are not always the easier ones. The small quandaries in a firm are particularly the major challenges. Staff should know the right ethical act and the action to accept as appropriate form promoting integrity and professionalism. The benefit in practicing business ethics in the workplace can lead to employee satisfaction, flexible work schedules and more responsibilities. Improved job satisfaction is one benefit to boost the employees’ morale to complete tasks correctly and in a timely manner. Making sure the employees are happy can result in a more productive environment and the employee feels appreciated as opposed to over-worked. According to Tom Silveri (2004), one solution could be a simple change to the work schedule by allowing flexibility to play a factor in the employees’ lives. For example, giving employees the option to create their own schedules will satisfy the employees because they are able to balance time of structured work. Flexible work hours are a great start to increase employee satisfaction but it is not the only option. There are other strategies to boost employees’ loyalty and determination while reducing the turnover rates (Silveri, 2004). Role of ethical standards in the workplace The main function involves protection of company’s assets. How well do the employees protect their company’s assets? The treatment employees get highly influences the behaviours. If taken care of with dignity and respect, they take pride of the firm and its ethics, thus the respect of the assets. The opinion of the employees at the organizations is evident from their conduct at work. The employees’ pride blossoms when the environment delivers respect and the staff are valued as individuals and, treated with fairness and equity in general. The employees need to perform with unquestionable ethics and integrity. Providing employees’ with responsibility and showing respect by praise or rewards, wi

The issue of antibiotics resistance among human beings is growing at an alarming rate. According to the Federal Task Force (EFD, 2008) report, the common infections will increasingly continue being scarce and expensive to manage or treat and worse still may become impossible to treat. This paper is an analysis on the use of antibiotics in the industrial and commercial processes and its effects on human health. The focus is on the meat processing industries and how these practices effects transmission rates and resistance of the antibiotics in human beings. Analysis of antibiotics resistance among human beings The antibiotics resistance is a condition transferred from animals’ products to human beings. What threat does improperly managed antibiotic usage in the meat industry pose to human beings? What current industrial policies promote usage of antibiotics in meat processing industries? What ought to be done to reduce this issue of transferring bacterial resistance condition from animals to human beings? For protection over the consequences incurred, the use of antibiotics on animal food and water ought to be highly reduced. Overuse of antibiotics in animals’ food production is the main contributor to the resistance condition. (EDF, 2007) The reason behind the overuse are claims that, antibiotics promote fast growth in animals and minimizes chances of contacting diseases that are related to movement, overcrowding, strains and unhygienic conditions in the modern industries. Research indicates that majority of the animal waste contains bacteria that are drugs resistant. The EDF research results of 2007 indicate that over seventy percent of antibiotics and similar drugs in the United States are in use on various domestic animals. Effects of the use of the antibiotics to animals The World Health Organization research results indicate that, the resistant bacteria pose a major risk to human population because transmitting occurs directly through food consumption or contaminated environment. The highest risk occurs when a person consumes half-cooked contaminated food or food that comes to contact with infected food. (EDF, 2001) Majority of the antibiotics and the resistant bacteria in animals passes the system without digestion. The antibiotics are some of the most indispensable implements for most physicians. The EDF (2001) statistics indicates that at any given time, over forty percent of patient at any health facility receives the antibiotics dosage. The inefficiency of the same drugs is significantly evident today because of the common multi drug resistant bacteria or the body’s immunity due to over use. Not all people suffer from effects of antibiotics condition. Most adults have strong immune systems that are able to fight the disease causing germs with less strain. Venerability depends on the strength of the immune system as well as the age. Children and infants are more venerable than adults are. According to Shea et al (2001), infants are ten times likely to suffer from the germs compared to adults. The old age group is also more venerable with over sixty-five percent being at risk of infection (Shea et al. 2001). Research also
Introduction Participation in a trading process is not only an experience that opens one’s eyes to witness how at the time the market segment may be volatile, but it also offers an opportunity to make informed decisions on how the process would yield fruits because the process unfolds various risks and events that teaches on the same aspect of investments. In this aspect, taking part in the trading process unravels possible criteria of assigning financial decisions to a more productive investment portfolio. In that, it would be much likely to deduce the best alternative to pursue because the risks become more revealed and possible to predict hence making informed decisions. This paper reports on the entire process of participating in an investment process for a whole week. It presents the various investment decisions used during buying and selling processes, the investment performance after investing a given amount in a specific business entity, the influence on the risk or performance on the portfolio, and the general statement on the aftermath of the entire investing activity for the portfolio. Investment decision process At this stage, it was a bit tricky to arrive efficiently at an investment criterion. However, a number of options were available to help make the entire process of investing a given amount from the total of $250, 000 successful. One of these benchmarks was the value in which the shares were traded in the previous week. If a given company had its shares going down the times, from this time frame, other options taken into consideration include for instance the amount of dividend it paid its shareholders in the past two financial years. Other includes the mechanisms it has in place to ensure its shareholders get value for their investments irrespective of the ever-changing marketplace (Zvi, Kane & Marcus, 2010). In addition to the shares pricing and its daily indicator, the turnover rate of the number of shares sold in the stock exchange also played a significant role in determining the choice of the firm for investments as well as the amount assigned for the process. The other pivotal aspects as indicators for determining the investment process included the number of clients the company or firm has. This shows how serious the firm is in the market as well as the mechanisms it has in place to enable it spread its services. These factors are pivotal because they help one guarantee the amount invested in many ways. The security of finances will not only depend on the size of the firm but also its security mechanisms that ensures it lures as many clients as possible to invest in their stock. The most vital aspect in this is the ability to make the clients/customers aware of the security it has for their finances before making any investments (Zvi, Kane & Marcus, 2010). The best indicato
Introduction: The Multiple Facets of Intelligence Despite the numerous researches, the mysterious ways of a human brainwork remain a secret for the humankind. However, with the progress which educational theories have made so far, one can expect certain suggestions on intelligence development. With the help of nine types of intelligence discovered by Howard Gardner, one can expect a change in the approaches to the concept of early learning and child education in general. Nine Ways in Which a Brain Works: Description It is important to remember that there are nine key types of intelligence, according to Gardner. Therefore, to develop a perfect human brain, one has to focus on the above-mentioned types, thus, allowing one’s brain to train every single basic way in which the latter works. Verbal-linguistic intelligence According to Lever-Duffy & McDonald (2011), the given type of intelligence allows to learn the basic conversational skills and convey one’s ideas with the help of oral or written text messages. Once the skill is underdeveloped, a full-fledged communication is impossible. Mathematical-logical intelligence The given type of intelligence helps to make calculations and deduce certain conclusions from the given facts. Without it, one will not be able to make the simplest conclusion. Musical intelligence With the help of musical intelligence, people are able to differentiate between various notes, tones and motifs and, therefore, develop their abilities to feel the rhythm and choose the right pitch of voice, etc. Living without this skill is possible yet not quite comfortable. Visual-spatial intelligence The given type of intelligence allows one to allocate him-/herself and other people, as well as mark the differences and similarities between objects. Without this skill, one would be unable even to move across the space. Body-kinesthetic intelligence Body-kinesthetic intelligence helps to differentiate between the temperatures, the sme
Introduction Culture can be a hindrance to business. In this case study, the western educated Moho meets face to face with the ugly face of cultural rigidity when he takes a career as a marketing manager in his family’s textile business. He has to come up with ways to deal with the situation. Case study summary Moho Athman has pursued an MBA from an Australian university where he has been able to appreciate the principles of qualitative business administration which include the implementation of participative management and the emphasis on productivity as a way of rewarding workers. Upon his return to Indonesia to start a career as a marketing manager in a family textile business, he meets with stiff opposition from conservative family members such as Fatima, his cousin and Hamid Athman, his uncle who strongly believe in the traditional Islamic way of running the business. His attempt to bring his ideas forward is met with both skepticism and doubt. But the discontent of the workers who are treated in an unfair manner that is not based on their productivity is a sign of hope for him in that if he succeeds in implementing his ideas, he will have support. But the problem is that this chance is not available given the high level of opposition. The frames, negotiation strategy and tactics of the Moho
