What are the key metrics that might be deemed critical prior to an event’s occurrence and some of the information requirements during and after an event?

Read the following article: Alaska, Y. A, Khan, A. A., & Shalhoub, A. A. (2017). Evaluation of disaster preparedness for mass casualty incidents in private hospitals Central Saudi Arabia. Saudi Medical Journal, 38(3), 302–306.

It is sometimes said that a worst possible scenario is to be unprepared during an emergency. In healthcare, we often refer to the idea that we are prepared for any type of crisis; we have an emergency room after all. Surely healthcare organizations would not need to place emphasis on additional planning, right?

Using the questions below, scholarly articles as a guide, create an emergency preparedness or contingency plan for your department, organization, or facility.
Please do not include cover page, I will add myself.

Who are some of the key stakeholders with whom healthcare organizations should communicate to ensure a well-rounded, all-hazards plan?
What are the key metrics that might be deemed critical prior to an event’s occurrence and some of the information requirements during and after an event? Why would such information be of importance?
What metrics might be used to examine readiness or resilience? Why do you feel those metrics are important?
From an operations management perspective, why is contingency management so important within a healthcare setting?
How might you, as a healthcare administrator, use such information to gauge your organization’s readiness or preparedness for crisis?
Your paper should be 3-4 pages (not including cover and reference pages).

In your own words, describe the relevance and application of six of the topics in the list below from the online notes this week as they apply to TradeTraining.

The TradeTraining Corporation recognizes that, despite high unemployment, there are a significant number of trade jobs for people. Jobs in the trades include electricians, plumbers, cleaners, culinary, hair stylists, auto body, etc. . TradeTraining’s business is training people across those different trades (and more) listed above. Courses vary but they all last at least six months, full time, and they frequently involve multiple subjects. TradeTraining’s business includes advertising, tuition finance counseling, hands-on training sites, distance education, internships, and placement.

Suppose that you are the Director for IT at TradeTraining, and that you are also expected to participate in business decisions at the highest levels of the company. Please make sure that you provide your answer representing the organization TradeTraining (not using “I”).

You are free to add assumptions and details concerning TradeTraining provided that they are consistent with the description above and provided that you specify what these are. The organization needs to streamline their operations and improve its competitive advantage. Think about what topics below would help the organization accomplish those goals.

In your own words, describe the relevance and application of six of the topics in the list below from the online notes this week as they apply to TradeTraining. Focus on how a set of topics together would provide competitive or operational advantage for the organization. Remember, to associate the topics to the competitive strategies that we covered in Module 1.  Back up your assertions through research from established news articles, business cases, the module notes, etc.

A “topic” here corresponds to a specific technology presented in the notes. “Application” above refers to the manner in which the topic is applied or implemented in this company. In responding to these questions, seek material additional to the online notes (the Web, books, and journal articles) that support each topic.

Discuss an example of how a program you have participated in was evaluated and how this evaluation might have been improved.

The chart in Figure 6.3 on page 261 in the Noe text shows that reaction is the most commonly used method of evaluating a training program, and ROI is the least commonly used. However, it would seem that organizations would have more interest in ROI than in reaction. Based on your experiences with training programs you have attended (or even university courses you have taken) why do you think this occurs? Discuss an example of how a program you have participated in was evaluated and how this evaluation might have been improved.

Using information from these authors or from your own research, you can identify potentially misrepresented data.

A search on the Internet will render numerous writers who have devoted time to writing about misrepresentations and how misrepresentations can be identified. In chapter 6 of your text, the author discusses trustworthy design in data representation (p. 216-218). In Kosara’s (2015) article regarding embellishment in bar charts, the author provides some simple concepts to identify embellished representation in bar charts. In the article by Flagg (2015), the author provides insight with five methods you can use to misrepresent data, using examples from the New York Times. Using information from these authors or from your own research, you can identify potentially misrepresented data.
