Discuss the liability, if any, that might arise in respect of the following incidents:

Zoe bought a house with a large garden in a rural farming area. She obtained planning permission to build an extension to manufacture organic herbal remedies in her home. In a short time, the sales of Zoe’s remedies reached a very high level and she employed five people to meet the demand for her products.

Gregory, who occupies the farm next to Zoe’s house, told Zoe that the chemical fumes from the solvent she uses for sterilising the manufacturing equipment have become unbearable, even with the windows closed. The doctor has told Gregory’s wife Siri that the recurring eye infections she is suffering are caused by the chemical fumes.

Zoe was indignant when Gregory made the complaint and refused to consider taking any action to reduce the problem. Zoe claimed that there is no scientific evidence to show that chemical fumes from the solvent cause harm and said that Siri’s eyes must be extra sensitive.

Although he knew it might annoy Zoe, Gregory went ahead with the rock concert he planned to hold in a field on his farm. He sold hundreds of tickets and the loud music and fireworks display from Gregory’s land kept all the villagers awake through the night. A large firework exploded, shattering the windows in Zoe’s house. The exploding firework also caused injury to Jimmy, one of the musicians playing on the stage, and injured Ngoze, a cyclist passing on the road outside Gregory’s farm.

Describe why adopting a value-based purchasing arrangement would be financially advantageous for the physician groups and to the health plan.

You work for the contracting department for a national payer that is working to convert its provider contracts to value-based arrangements. Your team is approaching large physician groups for recontracting. Develop a 12-15-slide presentation with speaker notes to show the value of converting to a value-based arrangement:

  1. Explain value-based care.
  2. Explain how value-based care differs from a fee-for-service or a capitated approach.
  3. Describe why adopting a value-based purchasing arrangement would be financially advantageous for the physician groups and to the health plan.

Evaluate which elements should be part of a written plan to deal with high potential risks and elements that might have major consequences for a project.

Project Teams: Team building is an important aspect  of managing a project team. Propose the right time to begin the  team-building process. Justify what you believe to be the best approach  for building a project team. Analyze some of the challenges that project  teams face along with strategies to overcome those challenges.

Ignoring Project Risk: Scenario: A  new executive education course was proposed and approved by the once  dynamic, but now visibly ailing, Vice President (VP) for human  resources. Consultants were employed to gathered requirements across all  company units. The course idea was widely applauded as a necessary step  for executive development in the fast-paced enterprise. A course  outline had been completed and approved when the sick VP for human  resources had suddenly retired. After a few weeks, a new VP for human  resources was hired. The new VP was unconvinced that the course was  necessary. Her charge was to cut costs and streamline the human  resources department to fit the new image of the company.

Result: The course was watered down from a week of  dynamic, intensive training to a few insignificant handouts and, after a  budget cut, was discontinued before implementation.

Discuss:

  • Evaluate the scenario. Was this result foreseeable? Why or Why not?  Explain what you think could have been done to enhance the risk  readiness for this project.
  • Choose some techniques that the team could have used in this  situation to identify both internal and external risks to project  success. Justify your choices. Describe the techniques for evaluating  the likelihood of each risk and its impact on the project if it occurs.
  • Evaluate which elements should be part of a written plan to deal  with high potential risks and elements that might have major  consequences for a project.

Communicate for Project Success: Scenario:  A major enterprise-level business process development project was  initiated. Early in the project, it was clear that each constituent  business unit had different needs. An active executive sponsor pushed  for a steering committee representation from all business units. The  team began by gathering requirements across business units. All levels  of the organization were represented—executives, middle managers, and  frontline workers. Requirements were translated into specifications and  communicated to the business units. Prior to steering committee  meetings, decision makers received detailed information on the project’s  status and progress in meeting requirements.

Result: The team developed a broad approach toward  developing a new process with an enterprise-level core that allowed  customization among the business units. The project achieved the desired  results and received customer acceptance at the business unit level.  The executive sponsor (also the primary customer at the enterprise  level) was applauded for his business acumen, while the direct project  sponsor continued on her path for promotion from the assistant VP to  being the VP of the organization.

Discuss:

  • Analyze the critical factors in the success of this project.
  • For a project like the one described above, propose the key components of a project communication plan.Project Procurement Risk: Analyze the different  types of procurement contracts. Include an evaluation of the risk level  associated with each type of contract. Propose the procurement  management process. Justify your answers with examples and reasoning.

When constructing and implementing hypothesis tests, what reasoning is used behind the statement of the null and alternative hypotheses?

  1. When constructing and implementing hypothesis tests, what reasoning is used behind the statement of the null and alternative hypotheses? Why are hypothesis tests set up in this way? Can a confidence interval obtained for estimating a population parameter be used to reject the null hypothesis? If your answer is yes, explain how. If your answer is no, explain why.
  2. When performing a hypothesis testing, two types of errors can be made: Type I and Type II. Explain in your opinion which of these errors would be a more serious error. Use specific examples to support your argument and reasoning.

Identify how you would satisfy the situation with the angry customer.

Prior to beginning work on this assignment, read Chapter 1, Chapter 2, and Chapter 3 from your textbook; the Week 1 Weekly Lecture; and the article Focusing on the Fundamentals of Effective Communication Within an Organization.

As the manager of a bank, you have just walked in on an angry customer who was demanding to have a late penalty removed from his account. The employee who was helping him began to argue that the late penalty was applied correctly.

In your paper,

  • Describe how you would address this situation.
  • Explain how you would approach your employee.
  • Identify how you would satisfy the situation with the angry customer.

 

Using the information you have been given at the Seminar as a guide, develop a PowerPoint presentation topic should be on injury, safety, or violence (or approved by the professor).

You are the senior risk reduction officer in your organization and your supervisor has asked for a presentation of objectives during your organization’s annual planning meeting. The meeting consists of five other senior management officers of other divisions of your organization. Your presentation will assist the organization in mapping out the programs that will be funded and prioritized within the next year. Using the information you have been given at the Seminar as a guide, develop a 10-15-slide PowerPoint presentation topic should be on injury, safety, or violence (or approved by the professor). Your presentation and handout should follow Steps 1–4 for program planning, which are presented in the text on pages 88-91. It should clearly meet the following objectives: Assess the needs of the population (Step 1). The needs assessment should present the top three risks facing your community and how you prioritized the risk you selected for a risk reduction program. Description of who you will request to be part of your advisory or planning committee and why this is important for success of the program (Step 2). Present mission statement of the proposed program (Step 3). Write program goals and SMART objectives (Step 4). This should provide decision makers with a very clear direction for the program.
