  This archive file comprises SEC 340 Week 1 Sociological Perspectives
Health Care - General Health Care
 Leadership and Management in Health Care . Compare and contrast leadership roles and management responsibilities in a non-health care setting with that of a health care organization. In addition, present an overview of key leadership traits fundamental for health care organizational effectiveness, and discuss the essential functions of health care managers. What does it take to be a “good” leader or manager? What are the primary barriers and challenges associated with health care leadership?

 Management and Motivation . Discuss the overall importance of motivation as it relates to management. What are the benefits of having a fully motivated staff, and what are the potential consequences of not having motivated staff? What do contemporary theories tell us about the significance of motivation as a function of employee needs, extrinsic and intrinsic factors? How do we motivate across generations? In your response, please be sure to identify and address at least two theories.

 Organizational Behavior and Management . Review the following case study in your textbook, Prelude to a Medical Error (pp. 416-417). Examine the application and answer Discussion Question 1: "Identify and discuss examples of preconceptions, assumptions, and mental models evident in this scenario. What are the consequences of the ways these health providers are thinking about the situation?" How might you, as the healthcare administrator of this organization, handle this situation and deal with each of the participants?

 Strategic Planning . Strategic planning is essential in the sustainability of all healthcare organizations. Outline the processes, or steps, involved in the strategic planning process and continual monitoring of the internal and external environment. Discuss how strategic planning is a dynamic, verses linear, process.

 Why is this important? What roles, if any, do quality and information technology play in an organization's strategic direction? Use one scholarly reference, cited according to APA guidelines as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center, in addition to the textbook

 Health Insurance Benefits . Managers need to understand the impact on the financial viability of a health service organization for providing care to the uninsured or underinsured. Review the following case scenario and answer the discussion questions.

 Joe Smith is a 27- year-old Caucasian male who works two part-time jobs for two different construction companies. Joe has been having dizzy spells off and on for the past two months. While driving to work one day, he loses consciousness and is involved in a motor vehicle accident. Joe is admitted to your not-for-profit hospital with a broken leg and multiple lacerations.

 Managing Financial Budgets . Health care financial management is complex and an effective health care administrator must understand what makes up the foundation to financial operations. This includes: health insurance (private and social) and reimbursements, private vs. not-for profit entities, costs and expenditures, capital, materials management, and budgeting.

 1. Outline and discuss the major categories of reimbursements and costs in a health care organization. How do they influence each other?
