Foundations of a Compensation Strategy

The most effective compensation strategy is one that develops a clear link between the following components:

  • Job Description (i.e., work that an employee is expected to perform).
  • Performance Evaluation (i.e., work that the employee has performed).
  • External Salary Survey and Internal Salary Comparison (i.e., pay provided to each employee).

Examine the interrelationship between these three components by describing the purpose of each component and how it affects the others. Then explain how all three components would be used to determine the compensation for an employee. Your examination should include a salary evaluation for a position you are familiar with (Administrative Assistant, Human Resource Manager, Maintenance Worker, etc). The salary evaluation should give results for each of the three components and detail how pay is finally determined for this position based on the three components.
Example of the salary evaluation portion of your analysis:

Purchasing Manager.

Primary functions from the Job Description: To plan, direct, and coordinate the activities of buyers, purchasing officers, and related workers involved in purchasing materials, products and services.
Organizational performance evaluation system:

 

  • Outstanding – 6% Increase
  • Exceeds expectations – 4% Increase
  • Meets expectations – 2% Increase
  • Does not meet expectations – No Increase

External Salary Survey: (salary survey, which you can typically obtain online) Monthly salary range at $4,300 – $5,200.

Internal Salary Comparison: (the relationship of this position to similar positions in your organization) Position is similar to Accounting Manager, and should be paid within the same monthly salary range of $4,400 – $4,900.

Submit your analysis in a two- to three-page paper formatted to proper APA 6th Edition specifications. Include a minimum of two scholarly references to support your analysis.

Future Considerations for the APRN Role

Future Considerations for the APN Role

 

Discussion Prompt

There are three troublesome issues that have emerged in the advancement of APRN practice. These issues in APRNs include 1) the clear role development and morphed to fill gaps in services; 2) the lack of clarity regarding role uniqueness, and 3) the dearth in nursing-specific outcomes. From your readings, this week, discuss 1 of the 3 questions. Begin your discussion with the question you will be addressing.

1. Why might the development and morphing of roles based on gaps in medicine be problematic for the advancement of APRNs? What actions might a nurse take to reduce this?

2. In what ways can an APRN distinguish his or her role from other nursing roles and medical counterparts? Why might this be important?

3. How can APRNs encourage nursing-based outcome studies?

 

Expectations

Initial Post:

APA format with intext citations

Word count minimum of 250

References: 2 high-level scholarly references within the last 5 years in APA format.

Plagiarism free.

Information Technology in Health care + 409 words + APA Format

Write 400–600 words that respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas.

 

Management of patient information is a very important part of providing patient care and executing business functions in health care organizations. Collecting, entering, and maintaining data within health management information systems (HMISs) is critical to patient care and business management. However, investments in technology can be expensive and time-consuming. Purchasing and assisting in the implementation of HMISs requires specialized knowledge and strong leadership skills. Being aware of current technologies and costs is an essential requirement for a health care manager.

  • Discuss some of the information technology needs of health care organizations that allow them to manage patient information and make informed business decisions.
  • Describe real-world examples of technologies that could be implemented, and explain their benefits and significance.
  • Discuss skills and traits that health care managers must possess to facilitate, review, acquisition, and staff “buy-in” for needed technologies.

For this assignment, you will examine the role of state and federal government as it relates to motor vehicle safety.  Review the case study Motor Vehicle Safety in your course text (pp. 93-96 in 1st edition, pp.102-104 in 2nd edition).  Provide a brief description of laws associated with motor vehicle safety at the federal level and for your own state.  Identify what type of law it is (e.g., constitutional, legislative, administrative, or judicial). 

In the United States, prior to the 1930s, public health efforts were primarily undertaken at local and state level. After the Great Depression, the federal government was called upon to intervene on behalf of its vulnerable populations. Since that time, debates over federal versus state roles in public health efforts have taken center stage in government and politics. (Turncock, 2012, 79)

For this assignment, you will examine the role of state and federal government as it relates to motor vehicle safety.  Review the case study Motor Vehicle Safety in your course text (pp. 93-96 in 1st edition, pp.102-104 in 2nd edition).  Provide a brief description of laws associated with motor vehicle safety at the federal level and for your own state.  Identify what type of law it is (e.g., constitutional, legislative, administrative, or judicial).  How do these laws relate to public health services? (e.g., health promotion, wellness and prevention, early detection and prompt treatment, disability limitation, and rehabilitation)  From your perspective, should the federal and/or state government play a role in motor vehicle safety?  Why or why not?  Provide a concrete example that supports your opinion.
