benchmark-feedback-1

Research evaluating 360-degree feedback systems tends to demonstrate superior outcomes to more traditional performance assessments. 360-degree systems rely upon multiple points of evaluation including supervisors, peers, self-rating, subordinates, computer-based ratings, and in some instances outside sources such as customers or clients. Discuss the advantages of a multi-rater system to improve evaluation of leaders and subordinates. Examine the challenges of the 360-degree feedback system especially considering how to increase rater agreement, frame-of-reference, and how to ensure raters know what behaviors and characteristics comprise effective performance. Lastly, analyze the future of 360-degree feedback and the inclusion of computer-based assessment within a 360-degree feedback system.

MARKET STRUCTURE AND GAME THEORY

For this assignment, you will be building upon your Module 2 SLP by continuing to examine other businesses in your chosen industry. Remember that the other businesses you wrote about in your Module 2 SLP will be your future competitors if you decide to open your own business. So it is important to get an idea of the competitive landscape of your chosen business. After reviewing the required background readings and doing some more research on your chosen industry, write a three-page paper discussing the following issues:

  1. What market structure is there for this line of business in your home town? Is this a monopoly, oligopoly, monopolistic competition, or perfect competition? Justify your answer using both your own research on this type of business in your home town, and by referencing some of the required background readings on different types of market structures.
  2. Now that you have examined market structure of your chosen industry in your home town, do some research on IBIS World on market structure in this industry nationwide. You can access IBIS World by going to the main TLC Portal and clicking on “Additional Library Resources”. A link to IBIS World will come up. This direct link might also work if you are already logged onto the Trident online library. What information could you find regarding how concentrated or how competitive this industry is?
  3. Based on the information you found for Question 2, what market structure do you think best describes this industry nationwide? Is this a monopoly, oligopoly, monopolistic competition, or perfect competition? Explain your answer using both information from IBIS World and the concepts from the required background readings.

CASE STUDY ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS

Please use the template to complete the Case Study write a paragraph within each box contained in the template to receive credit for this assignment

Gloria has recently graduated college and started a new job. Her coworkers seem very nice, and Gloria has gotten to know Lakeisha and Reggie the best.

Reggie is a friendly older man who often talks about his plans for retirement in five years. He likes to make people laugh but often jokes about his struggles to learn new programs and technology.

Gloria and Lakeisha have been assigned to work on a project together. Lakeisha is very organized and has prepared a list of to-do items along with due dates. She even color-coded the list to indicate which partner will do each item. Gloria, who is more laid-back, feels a bit uncomfortable with this micromanaging from Lakeisha, who has only been at the job a few months longer than she has. Gloria wonders if Lakeisha thinks she is either lazy or stupid, and she does not look forward to working on this project. In the past, Gloria attempted to communicate her feelings with a co-worker; however, her coworker told Gloria that she needed to put her feelings aside and just do the work assigned to her. As Gloria ponders having a conversation with Lakeisha, she starts to feel overwhelmed and thinks she might have to ask to be removed from this project.

Still, she and Lakeisha have connected because they are both single mothers of teenagers. Gloria confides in Lakeisha about her 16-year-old son who has started making poor choices and is currently grounded for sneaking out of the house and getting drunk at a party the night before a big exam.

The company recently informed the team that there will be a compliance test on new safety policies, which employees will need to pass in order to keep their jobs. The company has provided materials to study as well as optional practice exams. Gloria and Lakeisha have signed up to take the first practice test. Reggie, however, jokes that he will probably wait until the night before the test to read the material. As the date of the test approaches, Reggie becomes increasingly nervous. He makes frequent comments about how hard it is for him to learn a different way of doing the jobs that he has been doing for years, joking that “you can’t teach an old man new tricks.”

1. Gloria’s son is making poor decisions. Given what you have learned about a) brain development and b) social development in Chapter 3:

Explain why Gloria’s son is making those poor decisions.

Discuss specific strategies Gloria can implement to help her son make better choices.

Use specific concepts related to development and self-regulation to explain why these strategies would be effective.

2. Reggie is demonstrating a fixed mindset. How is Reggie’s mindset affecting the way he prepares for the new compliance test?

Use brain plasticity (neuroplasticity) to explain how Reggie can start to develop a growth midset.

Suggest study strategies for Reggie so that he will be prepared for the compliance test. Use specific concepts from Chapter 4 to explain why these strategies will be effective.

3. Consider Gloria and Lakeisha’s different approaches to the project. On which of the Big 5 personality traits do they most differ?

Give advice to Gloria on how she can use emotional regulation and cognitive reappraisal to work with Lakeisha.

topic 3 dq 1 32

Please respond with a paragraph to the following question, add citations and references:

Article #1

One rural hospitals experience implementing the society for health care epidemiology of America guidelines to decrease central line infections.

This article is from the Journal of Trauma Nursing. The article shows that the latest evidence-based practice change is to teach nurses how to use evidence-based practice to reduce CLABSI’s in the ICU. A weakness noted in this article is that it focuses on one institution instead of gathering evidence from multiple institutions. It did prove that the baseline rate of CLABSIs decreased over 1,000 central line days and improved patient outcomes. The article reviews CLABSI rates and examines the prevention strategies following implementation of the SHEA guidelines. This will help me to develop guidelines for nurses to follow in the ICU.

Article #2

Review of best practices for CLABSI prevention and the impact of recent legislation on CLABSI reporting.

This article is from SAGE Open. The focused of this article is on the new federal legislations such as the ACA. They use incentives and penalties when a CLABSI is reported. Each hospital is assessed, funded or penalized for CLABSI infections reported. Studies show how affective this method is at achieving the goals of better CLABSI rates. Pay-for-performance, focuses on rewarding hospitals who are successful at reducing their HAI rates, they hold funds to those that are unsuccessful. This article will help me to educate stuff on the cost and penalties of CLABSI. Nurses are the key roles to save lives and reduce hospital costs by implementing best practices to decrease the incidence of CLABSI. During my research one noted that a weakness in this article is that the extrinsic factors such as recent enacted legislations and mandatory reporting has not been closely examined in relation to the rates of HAI.

Article # 3

Effect on chlorhexidine bathing in preventing infections and reducing skin burden and environmental contamination: A review of literature.

The article explains how chlorhexidine bathing reduces pathogens on the skin. In this literature review evidence shows that chlorhexidine prevents colonization and infection with HAI’s and reduces dissemination in the environment and the hands of personnel. This will be efficient in the practice change. Evidence shows that chlorhexidine bathing may be beneficial, this practice is now becoming routine in many facilities, especially in ICU. By using this article, I plan to educate nurses on the importance and benefits of chlorhexidine baths in patients with central lines to reduce CLABSI’s. Upon reading this article one noted that a weakness is not a detailed checklist of how frontline staff will use the bath cloths and what patients to avoid.

Article # 4

Improving central line maintenance to reduce central line-associated blood stream infections.

This article explains how the central line maintenance kit (Bundle) would improve adherence and reduce CBLASI’s compared with a standard, non-kit-based method of performing central line maintenance. This study was completed in an ICU setting which will show evidence and benefit my practice change. The results of this study proved that a human factor engineering-based kit improved adherence to best practices during central line maintenance. The number of CLABSIs reduced during the post implementation period. One noted that the bundle kit supply list wasn’t mentioned and if it was approved by the CDC guidelines. One would consider this a weakness.

Article # 5

Preventing central line-associated bloodstream infections: A qualitative study of management practices.

The article proves through evidence that there are some variances associated with CLABSI prevention program outcomes, some are management practices. In my practice change I will develop management checklists for nurses to follow that will help reduce CLABSI rates in the ICU setting. This article will benefit my practice change by providing evidence that a management bundle may provide critical guidance to frontline staff, physicians, clinical managers and hospital leaders to prevent health care- associated infections such as CLABI’s. During the research one noted that all factors was identified on what makes a facility low or high performing, however it didn’t explain what interventions they would take to improve their performance.

Article # 6

Facilitating central line-associated bloodstream infection prevention: A qualitative study comparing perspectives of infection control professionals and frontline staff.

The articles explain how the ICPs play a critical role in implementing and managing CLABSIs where are frontline staff are responsible for delivering direct and ongoing patient care. In my practice change I will use this article to work with frontline staff and ICPs to develop checklists that includes all perspectives. This article will be helpful in finding a solution to CLABSI rates by having frontline staff and ICPs to collaborate and work together as a team in the ICU. The article did not mention what program would be developed to help ICPs and frontline staff to take into accountable of each other’s perspectives.
