Collaboration on Systems Thinking in Project Design
A critical component towards improving patient outcomes and improving the effectiveness of care delivery processes is better patient-provider communication. However, the modern healthcare environment comprises patients from different racial, ethnic and cultural backgrounds, which sometimes generate language barriers during patient care delivery. Language barrier is a major challenge to Limited English Proficient (LEP) patients seeking for primary and preventative care. Patient-provider communication issues have continued to face many elderly Hispanics suffering from diabetes due to language barriers. This project seeks to examine whether the use of a bilingual interpreter call during provider visits compared to utilizing family members as interpreters, enhance medication adherence over a 3-month period.
An important component in the implementation of this project is a systems thinking approach that would help determine its relevance to the healthcare system. According to Haines (1999), systems thinking is an approach through which we visualize the world or a means with which we view the unit or entity first as a whole. The visualization then helps to determine the relationship and suitability of the entity or unit to its environment. In this case, systems thinking approach will be utilized to determine the suitability and relationship of bilingual...
Third, subsystems engineers are more attuned to how their specific product and technology areas are driven by external market forces and market dynamics than system engineers typically are. The reason is that subsystem engineers, both hardware and software, seek to understand how customer and market needs impact their existing and future designs. As both of these classes of subsystem engineers are more focused on how to create valuable contributions
Maps to increase comprehension for ESL's English as a Second Language Learner The academic achievement gap between linguistic minority groups and other students is a persistent problem for the American public school system (Thernstrom and Thernstrom, 2003). The pattern of underachievement and a high school dropout rate for Hispanic/Latino students among immigrant groups is particularly pronounced (Wong Fillmore & Meyer, 1992) Of the school-aged English Language Learner (ELL) population, 73% come
Its business alliances have succeeded because of the past encounter and uncompromising principles of Starbucks. When Starbucks created a licensing contract with Kraft Foods, Inc., it permitted Kraft Foods to begin to make Starbucks' items available in grocery markets, and now because of that attempt their items are available all over Northern U.S. And even the United Kingdom. If Starbucks did not have the primary features of what it
Systems Design Project Change is integral to the survival of any commercial enterprise in today's globalized, technologically advanced business environment. This requires stakeholders to have personal and organizational transition skills to attain the desired change for future success (Hughes, 2006). Strategizing drives organizational change giving it direction through activities (Thornhill, Lewis, Millmore and Saunders, 2000). Internal and external environmental considerations are both relevant; along with change management required to align with
This approach to planning supply chains through collaborative planning, forecasting and replenishment (CPFR) is highly dependent on collaborative applications and platforms that support analytics and advanced approaches to creating dashboards and balanced scored cards of sup[ply chain performance and value created (Huberman, Wilkinson, 2010). The reliance on collaborative applications and platforms that are also capable of streamlining complex manufacturing processes, dropping costs per unit costs from each unit produced due
The religious organization has other-worldly goals, but must adapt to the demands of this world in order to survive. There are generally two kinds of responses to this problem -- the church response and the sect response. The church response is to adapt at the expense of the goals and the sect response is value-rational-to maximize goal commitment at the expense of adaptation (Satow, 1975).
