In your post, explain what search terms you used and the criteria you used to determine if the information was credible.

1. Search the web using a search engine (such as Google or Bing) to find sample resumes and articles from your degree field and information about the field. If you cannot find an article about your degree field, perhaps you could find an article by someone in the field. Next, use the South University Online Library to search for sample resumes, articles from your degree field and other information about your field.

2. Compose a small research paper as a Word document in APA format (name it W3DQ_YourLastName), that you will attach to your initial submission post, that includes the following components:

• Identify the career you chose and explain why you chose it. Find two sources in APA format from the open web and two sources from the SUO Online library that you looked at.

3. In your post, explain what search terms you used and the criteria you used to determine if the information was credible.

4. Compare your experience searching on the open web and searching in the Online Library. You may want to try advanced search options and report on them.

Define dispute resolution and cultural sensitivity along with an example of each. What are the key elements (attitudes, behaviors) contributing to cultural sensitivity?

Cultural sensitivity is an important disposition for international negotiators. Although awareness of cultural diversity and specific factors that differ among cultures is an important beginning place, simply knowing differences is usually insufficient for bridging gaps and developing positive negotiated outcomes for all participants.  Being sensitive to those differences and embracing them is a crucial skill for international negotiators and leaders.

For the first paragraph or two of your posting, select any one of the following bullet points and address all elements of your chosen bullet point. Select a different bullet point section than what your classmates have already posted so that we can engage several discussions on relevant topics. If all the bullet points have been addressed, then you may begin to re-use the bullet points with the expectation that varied responses continue.

  • Define dispute resolution and cultural sensitivity along with an example of each. What are the key elements (attitudes, behaviors) contributing to cultural sensitivity? What are some of the indicators (what we would see, hear, experience) that would tell us whether cultural sensitivity is present in a negotiation or in an organization?
  • What are some of the organizational consequences of failing to foster cultural sensitivity? What are some organizational strategies to eliminate dispute resolution and capitalize on cultural sensitivity? How can an organization leverage international negotiation activities to develop better cultural sensitivity across the organization?
  • How do elements of behavior, attitude, norms, and values assist or delay the understanding of negotiation processes? How can effective negotiators use values, attitudes or norms to their best interest? Provide an example.
  • How is resolving disputes different from making deals? Discuss the potential differences in negotiation perspective and process depending upon we are resolving disputes or making deals. What are the key challenges that negotiators face when resolving disputes? What lessons might be learned from these challenges and applied to leadership?

Describe and Define the Issue/Problem. In defining an issue, you take a position on the scope and seriousness of the problem and identify one or more causes.

Describe and Define the Issue/Problem.  In defining an issue, you take a position on the scope and seriousness of the problem and identify one or more causes. How do we know that the problem really exists?  How does the problem manifest itself?  What is the severity of the problem and who is affected most? Who and how many people are affected (supply metrics if available)?  What are the various costs of the problem to individuals, communities and the nation?  What are the cause or causes of the problem?  What is the evidence to link the cause to the problem?  If multiple causes exist, identify root and proximate causes. Focus your more in depth analysis on only one or two of the causes. Use numbers and comparisons to help readers understand the problem.

Write an executive summary for the owners and managers, including regulatory bodies and their roles

Skilled Nursing Facilities (SNFs) play a vital role in the care of our most vulnerable populations. Maintaining accurate medical records in the SNF setting is important for both quality of patient care, as well as compliance with regulatory bodies. For this week’s assignment, you will demonstrate your knowledge of medical record management in the SNF environment.

A local assisted living facility has decided to expand, with the addition of a skilled nursing facility adjacent to their current residential structure. You have been hired as a consultant to oversee the planning and implementation of medical records compliance. The facility owners and managers have a business background and are not familiar with the rules and restrictions that are applicable to SNFs.

Write an executive summary for the owners and managers, including the following information:

  • Regulatory bodies and their roles (bullet points are acceptable)
  • Primary payers, and their payment models (bullet points are acceptable)
  • How patient records should be maintained (i.e. paper, electronic, what technologies and equipment will be needed).
  • What information must be included in the record for every patient.
  • Liability issues to be aware of, and how to avoid them.
