The suppliers also threatened to quit spending the materials, subassemblies and supplies critical for making the next generation of products for our company. The new product development efforts underway had to stop for weeks until this systems was straightened out.
Externally to the company suppliers were beginning to talk with the press, wondering out loud in the media if our company was still solvent. Soon, investors were calling our senior management asking if the company was having financial trouble. The accounting and financial organizational systems were nearly responsible for the company being audited when the problem didn't get fixed fast enough. The external impacts of these failed and faulty organizational systems were amplified due to stakeholder's concerns for the company's and their own financial security.

Accounting and financial organizational systems are among the most powerful in any company as they literally propel them to their goals (Busco, Scapens, 2011). Like a…...

Not everyone thinks of a hospital as a business, but it must be operated as such if it is to take proper care of patients and make enough profit to continue to function. One of the best ways in which to be successful in those endeavors is to have good leadership. Proper leadership allows for an overall experience that is the best for everyone involved (van Vugt & Ahuja, 2011). In a medical setting, the leader must be sure to pass important knowledge and information down to those who are caring for the patients, and must take action to correct known problems.
There are resources that can be used to ensure patients are receiving the best care possible. As a nursing shift supervisor, working with the right colleagues and using the proper resources could help the patient and also resolve the ethical issues that are seen in Mr. J.'s case.…...

Strategies that enable a nurse on an interdisciplinary team to exert leadership

Nurse leaders act as clinicians, managers and mentors to shape the future of healthcare and have positively impact patient care outcomes. Nurses are required to successfully collaborate with a number of other disciplines when it comes to providing and improving patient care. This means that nurses are required to exert leadership in an interdisciplinary team even if they do not occupy formal leadership positions. There are several strategies that can enable a nurse on the interdisciplinary team to exert leadership without occupying a formal leadership position; taking a leadership stance and being a role model. A Leader is a person that directs other people towards achieving a goal he or she is supposed to influence others positively and help them work towards achieving a common goal. A strong leader is one who does not join…...

After the change process has been developed a failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) would need to be done. This analysis is done in order to project the likelihood that the process improvement plan will not fail. The interdisciplinary team for this entire process will consist of an emergency room physician, an N, an LPN, a clinical quality consultant, an H representative and an a patient safety advocate.

The process for conducting an FMEA is straightforward. A sturdy analysis can be obtained from interface matrices, boundary diagrams, and parameter diagrams. A lot of breakdowns are due to noise factors and shared interfaces with other parts or systems. In order to begin it is necessary to describe the system as a whole and its function. A good understanding simplifies further analysis. This way a person can see which uses of the system are desirable and which are not. It is imperative to…...

Strategy and Organizational Systems
Mission Statement: Corporate Health Care Philosophy

A mission statement of an organization is one that is utilized to convey what exactly it purposes to undertake and achieve. In addition, this statement stipulates and lays down what activities and undertaking the organization plans to carry out and the direction projected for the future course of the organization. The mission statement outlines "who we are, what we achieve, and where we are directed" and provides an organization its own exceptional distinctiveness, character, and pathway of growth (Drucker, 2003). The mission statement of the healthcare organization asserts the following:

"The mission of our organization is to address and treat each and every individual as a valued consumer and at the same time, constructively contributing to the bottom line of the organization. The center will offer full time and exceptional care every day of the week to its customers. This will be done…...

From the above three IS. It is advisable for Clambake Company to go for a CM system to be able to increase the sales and workforce to 80% and 40% respectively. CM integrates and automates the customer sales process such as marketing, customer services and sales that improve interaction with the Company's customers. CM provides better customer service; it gives the businesses strategic advantages such as the ability of personalizing the relationships with the customers.
CM too has a disadvantage since many companies find CM difficult to properly implement due to lack of adequate understanding and preparation by the management and employees (Bruggen & Wierenga, 2005).

the first step in CA is identifying the incident to be analyzed. This step requires for the problem or incident to be clearly defined and identified. Identifying the problem will assist in determining what caused the incident and how the incident occurred. In the case study, the mother requested for pain medication, and this was within her right. The nurse performed the request, and it was approved by the pharmacist, but the incident occurred when the nurse did not check the IV line correctly. The nurse confused the infants IV line with the mothers, which resulted in the infant been administered with Morphine. This should be an indicator, and it should be recorded as a fact. This is…...

The strategy of treating patients with dementia must be dependent on a thorough neurological, psychiatric, and general therapeutic assessment of the nature and causes of the cognitive setbacks and related non-cognitive symptoms, in the setting of a strong collaboration with the patient and family. It is crucial to distinguish and treat general medical conditions, notably delirium, that may be answerable for or contribute to dementia symptoms (Ferrara, 2010).

Currently, the organization is embracing the Progressing evaluation strategy. This approach focuses on incorporating occasional monitoring of the advancement and development of cognitive and non-cognitive psychiatric and how they respond to intervention. With the end goal to provide prompt medication, improve patient safety, and provide convenient advice to the patient and family, it is ordinarily fundamental to see patients in routine follow-up at regular intervals. Frequent patient visits such as once or twice a…...

eframing means to redirect or change the way of thinking and look at things with a complete different mindset. In simple terms reframing is change of plans or basic details of an idea. Looking at events from a complete different mindset helps you to avoid individual biases. It also emphasizes the importance of adjustments and flexibility in the organization. The process of reframing suggests finding out the basic details that needs to be changed. The process increases the probability of…...

However, in the most recent theory of evolution which discusses the living world appears as the result of chance and an output of different randomly selected natural mills. This kind of development came to present as a result of the need of more subjects or topics in areas such as cybernetic, general system theory, information theory, theories of games which is needed in most decision making process in line with real applications. In mathematics techniques however, there are a number of general assumption which are insufficient and most of the time very contradict themselves (Laszlo & Krippner, 1982).

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).

Organizational Diagnosis and ecommendations
Imagine studying an organization in more depth in order to determine what needs changed. This is not an easy task because it could take days or months to achieve success. Businesses also have to stay up with current technology, and this means staying present with various leadership theories in order to make the business better. Systems thinking is used as a means in which to fully understand what needs monitored. Through using transactional leadership theory, one is able to grasp what one can do as a means of making recommendation for improvement.

One needs to perform a preliminary review to ensure that he or she obtains information related to organizational leadership, culture, effectiveness and productivity.

4. The congruence model

According to the Mind Tools website, the "congruence model is based on the principle that an organization's performance is derived from four elements: tasks, people, structure, and culture. The higher the congruence, or compatibility, amongst these elements, the greater the performance" (Mind Tools, 2010). The advantage of the model is that of simplifying the issues promoted by the previous models and revealing an analysis structure constructed onto four elements alone. This implies lower task complexities and leads to more efficiently retrieved results. However, it could also lead to sometimes irrelevant findings as it does not take into consideration elements outside the organization, such as the socio-economic climate. In other words, this model is highly applicable when conducting an internal audit, but its efficiency…...
