Abstract
This paper examines the elements of an Emergency Response Plan of a hospital in the event of a disaster striking. This paper specifically discusses the elements of the emergency plan for Bellevue Hospital in lower Manhattan, both before and after the attacks on the World Trade Tower. The way in which a local hospital should be concerned with protecting people, information systems, and communications is examined in this paper.
From the Paper
?The primary concern for a hospital is the protection of people. These people not only include the victims, but also management, employees, and families of the victims. It is necessary to be able to quickly assess the number and skill levels of the staffing available. In the early moments of a disaster, this may be difficult, as was the case in the World Trade Tower attacks. Bellevue Hospital in lower Manhattan received word that the trade towers were on fire. They quickly and efficiently invoked their Emergency Response Plan. They waited and prepared for a flood of victims. In this case, instead of being understaffed to handle the load, they found themselves with many willing and capable volunteers and unfortunately, no victims. This created another situation, in which, when a victim did come in they were stormed by people willing to help.?

Abstract
This paper establishes an understanding of gender inequality in the hospitality industry in Canada. The paper identifies the reasons why men dominate managerial positions in Canada, discusses reasons for preferential treatment for men in the hospitality industry, and examines potential motivations for females to pursue managerial positions and any obstacles they face.
From the Paper
"In conclusion, Canadian women face discrimination based not only on their gender, but also on race, age, ethnicity, disability and sexual orientation. Yet many continue to pursue management positions in the service and hospitality industries for numerous reasons, including higher pay, better job security, more benefits and a more respectable title. The absence of human resource policies and strategies in many companies in this field is a deterrent to gender diversity. The work environment and culture are not conducive to promoting women in management. This prevents women's accessibility to top management positions. For example, there are no programs to facilitate the advancement of women as role models, absence of mentoring programs, and lack of management training programs."

Free Trade vs. Managed Trade, 2002.
A comparison of free trade to managed trade in today's global economy.
1,275 words (approx. 5.1 pages), 5 sources, MLA, $ 43.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper compares the values of free trade to managed trade. It begins by defining trade and identifying the ideal trade. The paper argues that free trade is the best policy to increase prosperity and equality in a capitalist society. It describes managed trade as the current situation, as tariffs and trade policy try to create fair grounds for commerce between two nations, as seen through the example of Japan and the United States. The writer states that protectionist policies, as used in managed trade, have been the anthem of the past and have led to war and conflict.
From the Paper
"Trade is the exchange of goods and services between two countries. In order for trade to be successful, both sides must perceive that they benefit from the exchange, or the trade will not take place. In a perfect world, both parties go away from the trade happy that they have ridded themselves of something of which they have surplus, and gained something of value to them. However, in the real world, this does not happen all of the time and one party or the other walks away feeling ?cheated.?

Free Trade/ Fair Trade, 2007.
An argumentative essay on the benefits of fair trade over free trade.
2,280 words (approx. 9.1 pages), 2 sources, MLA, $ 70.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper describes how those that promote free trade claim that overall production and profit is the highest good, and define efficiency and success as the ability to produce great quantities and great profit with a business. Those in support of fair trade, however, point out that productivity itself is not a good, but is only useful inasmuch as it improves the lives of the mass of people. The paper examines whether
countries should be allowed to protect their industries with tariffs or control them with regulations, despite the concerns or desires of other countries.
From the Paper
"Of these two arguments, Morris' is by far the most convincing, in part because he is far more holistic in his analysis of the situation. Irwin focuses primarily on the over-all financial gains for nations, but does not specify who those gains go to. Though he seems to believe that an overall per capita increase in national product will raise national standards of living, he seldom produces evidence to this effect and does not take into consideration that what may be true for one nation, such as Japan, would not be true for another nation which was emerging from a long history of serious economic depression (such as former colonies). Moreover, he seems to confuse personal well being with the well being of the international money market."

»

Abstract
The textual analysis of the TV series "Trading Spaces" explores the possibility of interchanging gender roles in this home improvement showcase. A strong case is built on the unchanging male hegemony. However, the paper shows that the series does focus, in a particular way, on issues of gender and power, and especially on the supposedly changing nature of masculinity. Provides limitless examples from the show to exemplify gendered television.
From the Paper
"Since its launch in September 2000 as a late-afternoon show, Trading Spaces has regularly scored a 2 or 3 household rating in its universe in prime time, according to Neilson Media Research data, peaking one Saturday evening in April at a 3:2 for an episode featuring the Dixie Chicks. With that all-time household record for TLC, Trading Spaces also beat out all broadcast networks in delivery of adults 18-49 that night (the network regularly ranks in the top 10 of all cable networks in delivery of adults 18-49 and adults 25-54). By the conclusion of its third season, Trading Spaces will have taped 65 new episodes compared to last season?s 40, and can be seen in 70 million homes in America, and internationally in Canada, Japan, Australia, Thailand, and the Philippines (Foege)."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the Faith Community Hospital case study aka Let It Pour. The paper ties in course concepts of ambiguity, perception, individual personal values versus society legal and ethical norms, and communication processes. Included is stakeholder and brand (hospital image) concepts. The writer outlines the recommendations of the case study for the benefit of the hospital.
From the Paper
"?A good mission statement should accurately explain why the organization exists and what it hopes to achieve in the future. It articulates the organization's essential nature, its values, and its work? (Radtke, 1998, Para 2). A good mission statement is not the recipe for success in business; it is the grand global picture. To accomplish the goals identified in the organizational mission statement, identification of all stakeholders, support of key stakeholders, written policies, detailed written procedures, and effective communication are critical success factors. These critical success factors are the missing ingredients at Faith Community Hospital, the subject of this case study."

Abstract
This paper discusses the challenges start-up hospital Peach Tree Hospital has been encountering. By evaluating the methods they?ve employed to date, as well as survey results from their employees and continued communication, this paper helps Peach Tree?s administrator and human resource director to clarify exactly where the problems exist. From this information they can then begin to take steps to make the changes necessary to overcome their challenges.
From the Paper
"Although the staff of Peachtree Hospital ?had spent the better part of its time recruiting and training employees? (Hellriegel et al., 2002, p. 289) the administrator of the hospital felt the organizational efforts had not been as successful as they should have been. The human resource director, although acknowledging that there were still organizational issues that needed to be addressed, wrote these off to start-up conditions, as the hospital had only been open for less than one year and would be resolved in a very short period of time. To quantify the organizational problems, a survey was administered to most of the 1,200 employees of the hospital and revealed some startling results."

Faith Community Hospital, 2004.
This paper is a case study about Faith Community Hospital, a not-for-profit health care services organization, which is facing major challenges.

Abstract
The paper explains that some of the critical issues facing Faith Community Hospital, which the hospital needs to address, are basic financial problems; the conflict between the organization?s spiritual heritage and values and the ethics of the medical profession; non-compliance with government, managed care, insurance regulations, and non-adherence to hospital operational policies. The author points out that Faith Community Hospital has an organizational management problem, which needs to be thoroughly analyzed rather than tyring to solve the various problems piecemeal. The paper states that, although the mission statement of Faith Community Hospital implies a broad goal of promoting the health and well-being of the people it serves within a framework of spiritual values, it can be inferred that the organization suffers from an absence of clear-cut policies and goals that are specific, measurable, targeted, and time-specific.

From the Paper
"The mission statement plays a critical role in setting direction and laying the foundation for the culture and goals of any organization. Indeed, this is clearly expressed in Hyrum Smith?s model of instructive goal setting, which is commonly referred to as Smith?s ?Success Triangle.? This model places an organization?s governing values at the base of the goal setting process and recommends that goals must be linked to specific governing values in order to be meaningful and to help the organization achieve its mission (Parker, 2003). The mission statement of Faith Community Hospital appears to adhere to the strategic principles inherent in Smith?s ?Success Triangle? to the extent that it clearly emphasizes the organization?s commitment to promoting the health and well-being of the people in the communities it serves, using its spiritual heritage and values as the foundation. However, since spiritual values can vary vastly across religions and individual beliefs, Faith?s mission statement has led to broad individual interpretations that have, in turn, led to an organizational culture, which allows too much leeway for individual decision-making. This is evident in the anecdotal cases cited by the CEO of doctors independently deciding to either treat patients pro bono or insisting on insurance coverage prior to commencement of treatment; the pharmacist filling prescriptions for uninsured patients; and the inconsistency in adhering to hospital policy in areas such as ?Do Not Resuscitate? (DNR) decisions."

From the Paper
"Health care is one of the fastest-rising expenses faced by American families. Every year, health-care expenses rise faster than either consumers' incomes or the general rate of inflation. It would seem, then, that health-care providers--of which hospitals are the most conspicuous institutional component would be a highly lucrative enterprise. In fact, however, hospitals have found the late 1980s to be a difficult period, with conditions improving only slightly at the beginning of the 1990s.
To understand the economic problems and choices facing hospitals, it is useful to regard them as firms, and apply to them the general principles of microeconomics which shape the environments of all firms. However, hospitals are firms of a specialized type--not simply in terms of the services they provide, but in terms of how and by whom those services are ... "

From the Paper
"The Community Hospital in the present case study saw its beginnings during the mid-1800s and has come a long way since then serving a population of nearly 13,000 inhabitants. Its location from the nearest large city is 15 miles which itself has four major hospitals and 40 miles from the state capital with more medical conveniences. Apart from that, the Hospital also caters to the medical needs of five very small and nearby rural towns with a net total population which is estimated to be 35,000 inhabitants. It continues to be a general hospital since inception because of the presence of many large hospitals in its vicinity. Although the hospital has good doctors in attendance, majority of them have grown old in their profession and as such the Hospital will be facing a severe shortage of doctors 10-15 years down the line. The Hospital is facing a crunch on the financial front as the minimum occupancy rates have fallen well below the break-even point needed for the Hospital to stay afloat."

Abstract
This paper explains that Victoria Hospital is currently undergoing the process of organizational change and that they must highlight their future plans and courses of action. The paper then proceeds to describe how the hospital's vision and mission statement should be developed as well as some of the strategies of operation it should adopt.
Outline:
Victoria Hospital Vision Statement
Mission Statement
Victoria Hospital Strategies
From the Paper
"The mission statement takes on step further and communicates the audience the core competencies and the features on which the organization will base its actions in order to retrieve success. Furthermore, it also points out the main focuses of the organization in reaching their goals. For instance, a basic mission statement for a for-profit organization would be to offer their clients the best products and services and integrate the employees into the corporate culture, while in the same time registering profits. The mission statement is an important tool for communicating corporate objectives and commitment and it is addressed to all stakeholders, such as employees, clients, or patients in the case of Victoria Hospital, business partners or the general audience. The mission statement has to be developed by keeping in mind the corporate values and goals. For the Victoria Hospital, these are: dedicated personnel, the usage of advanced technologies and commitment to preserving and improving patient's health. However due to financial cuts, the management at Victoria Hospital desires to increase their profits, this will not be stated in the mission."

Overview of the Organization
The Fourteen Forces of Magnetism
Leadership: Nursing, Organizational Structure, Policies and Programs
Quality of Care
Professional Development: Nurses as Teachers, Interdisciplinary Relationships and Professional Development
Synthesis of Assessment
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Finally, because Bellevue has repeatedly demonstrated the willingness to listen to the concerns of nurses and institute policies that support their beliefs, the institution functions in a manner that values its staff. When workers in an organization understand that they are valued, workers desire to support the goals of the organization, creating a working system that is successful over the long term. At Bellevue Medical Center the system not only supports the individual, it supports all community groups and focuses on populations that would otherwise be incapable of receiving health care. For nurses that desire to make a significant difference in the lives of people, this incentive alone demonstrates a positive draw to the nursing professional that supports the reasons that many nurses entered the field in the first place."

Abstract
This paper begins with an introduction to Faith Community Hospital, a nonprofit organization established with the aim of promoting the health and well-being of the people in the communities it serves. The paper then reviews the SWOT analysis of the hospital that was done in order to identify the issues and define the problems the hospital is currently facing. Finally, the paper presents conclusions based on the SWOT analysis, with the intention of finding solutions that take into consideration different environmental factors, especially the interests of various stakeholder groups.
From the Paper
"The commitment of Faith Community Hospital to its spiritual heritage and values is apparent in the very manner in which this has been upfronted in the mission statement of the organization. While this indicates a clear set of organizational values and a strong culture, it also implies that Faith Community Hospital is an organization with a culture that is committed to not just its task but to the very idea of the organization. Unfortunately, this commitment to the idea of the organization has led to stakeholders who are more committed to the process rather than the product of organizational action, which really should be focused on the health outcomes of the patients treated. Indeed, it is this factor that has likely led to the existing conflicts between ?ethics, laws, beliefs, oaths, etc.? (Case Study, p. 2) In fact, the commitment to adhere to the spiritual and moral values of patients and staff has also led to several other problems especially in the area of financial management. Indeed, the SWOT analysis (Refer Appendix 1) clearly reveals the following problems, which Faith Community Hospital must address if it is to assure its continued survival and, indeed, grow its reputation and capacity to serve its communities."
