Compass is a metaphor for an intuitive sense of direction and leadership. A map is a metaphor for a predetermined plan or method. For my career in healthcare, I would like to have a combination of intuition and structure. #MGT725 #ch10 #Qu12

The best way to involve the board in the development of directional strategies is to have them set the ultimate direction for the corporation, reviewing and approving strategies and assessing the risks that may affect the company’s long term performance #ch5 #Qu12 #Mgt725

A realized strategy is the one that is developed and subsequently works out successfully. A strategy becomes realized when it was never intended as strategic management is not always structured and thought doesn’t always precede action #CSIMGT725 #ProfTimRN #Ch1 #Qu12

Legal behavior is governed by written laws while ethical behavior is based on human rights and wrongs. Legal behavior is dictated by the governmental laws while ethical behavior is dictated by ethical standards something could be legal but not ethical. #csibus605 #ch15 #Qu1

I would make sure the person is aware of the importance of cultural proficiency in healthcare settings. I would also pinpoint the difference such a training will make in the daily interactions of the individual as a person and not just a healthcare provider #csibus605 #ch14 #Q7

NPDB is a workforce tool that prevents practitioners from moving to a different state without disclosure of previous damaging performance. It was created to have a system whereby healthcare entities could identify those who engage in unprofessional behavior #csibus605 #Ch11 #Q6

Cost allocation ensures the costs assigned to departments and services are being assigned to them. It also ensures that the patients are paying a fair sum of what it costs to deliver their care. It helps managers identify cost drivers and misallocated costs. #Csibus605 #Ch10 #Qu2

HIPAA helps protect individuals medical records and other personal information. It also sets the boundaries that dictate the release of medical information. Security breaches subject the institutions to legal action and lead to financial as well as data loss #csibus605 #Ch8 #Qu7

Patients view quality as fast, efficient services provided with compassion and skills. Providers view quality as the best possible care for patients. While hospitals and insurance companies view quality as cost effectiveness. #csibus605 #Ch7 #Qu1

An example of a cause-related marketing campaign in healthcare would be the pink ribbons meant to raise awareness about breast cancer. Pink ribbons are now commonly known as the breast cancer support ribbons. When sold, they help raise money for the cause. #csibus605 #ch6 #Qu6
