Create a Keynote/PowerPoint presentation on these three topics —

• Quality of care

• Outcomes management

• Ethical and legal issues facing case managers

As background for quality of care, read the attached file:

•     Donabedian A: The quality of care: How can it be assessed? 

As background for outcomes management, read the attached file:

•     Epstein RS, Sherwood LH: From outcomes research to disease management: a guide for the perplexed. Ann Intern Med 124_9_:832-837, 1996 

As background for ethical and legal issues, read the attached file:

•     Hendricks AG, Cesar WJ: Ethical and Legal Issues Facing Case Managers Today. Case Manager 14_3_:56-62, 2003 

Be sure, as part of your slide content for each topic, to cite material from the target article readings.

Use the APA format as a guideline. Grammar and spelling count.

IMPORTANT:

Create a Keynote/PowerPoint presentation with:

• At least 20 slides (at least 6 slides per topic), not including the title slide and the reference list/bibliography

• For each topic, add notes at the bottom of 3 slides to enhance the content

The slide presentation must adhere to the guidelines established by the American Psychological Association (APA) in its most current edition. 

See the attached reading material below: 

You have been asked to conduct an ergonomic job hazard analysis (JHA) in a manufacturing facility that manufactures metal parts for an automotive company. One area of concern is the manual materials handling (MMH) throughout the facility. Specifically, you have been tasked with conducting a JHA on the palletizing of shipping boxes once they are assembled. Given the following worksheet (see the link below to download the worksheet), calculate (1) the recommended weight limit (RWL) and (2) the lifting index using the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) lifting equation. Using the data and results, provide your written recommendations for corrective action against strenuous lifting tasks performed by employees in order to reduce risks and prevent injuries. You should search the internet for possible solutions, if applicable. Click  here to download the JHA worksheet. Respond to the details in each section, and format your report in APA style. Include at least each of the components below in your project. 

• Introduction: Briefly describe why the studies were performed (why you started the study), and explain how this job hazard analysis can improve the overall safety and health management program. In the introduction, compare the different techniques for performing a JHA and why the method chosen was appropriate for this scenario. 
• Report detail: Briefly discuss the details of the scenario (what you found from the study). 
• Conclusions/Recommendations: Briefly describe your recommendations based on your findings (what you recommend to resolve any deficiencies). 
• Appendix: This will have your measurements and calculations (show your work). Include the JHA worksheet in this section. 

The report should be at least three pages (double-spaced) in length (not counting the references page and appendices). Prepare your report in a word-processing application, such as Microsoft Word, using APA formatting. See the chart and graphics below in order to complete your assignment.
(SeeAttached)

Each week, you will be asked to respond to the prompt or prompts in the discussion forum. Your initial post should be 150 -200 words in length, and is due on Sunday. By Tuesday, you should respond to two additional posts from your peers. 

Share your most significant “take away” from this course.  Explain the following; 

What is your take-away?

Why is it the most significant take-away?

What has changed or will change due to this take-away?

Include a reference for the take away if it is from an article.  If it is from the course lecture or assignment, mention the week it is from.

In your response posts, comment on the most significant take-away that your peer mentioned. Is that take-away also important to you?  Why or why not?  Offer a different perspective on how the take-away may cause change.
