Week 5 Assignment - Leading and Managing the HR Project Overview Continuing from the previous assignment, it is now important to consider your approach to leading and managing your HR project. Tightly structured projects tend to restrict cross-organizational communication. As such, objectives originate at the top of the project and are subdivided as they are passed down, resulting in little opportunity for creative contributions. Effective leadership and managing of the project can greatly improve communication and team contributions. Instructions Write a 5–6 page paper in which you: Select two types of project management power that would be relevant to your current project, and explain your rationale. Be specific. Identify and briefly discuss a minimum of four outcomes (possible issues) resulting from managing projects, and address how you might resolve the issues. Be clear with your rationale. Discuss two increased challenges a project manager may face when leading virtual or global project teams. Recommend three strategies to deal with the challenges. Identify and explain your overall plan for communication management during the project. The plan must be comprehensive and at a minimum address structure, purpose, method, and timing. Use three sources to support your writing. Choose sources that are credible, relevant, and appropriate. Cite each source listed on your source page at least one time within your assignment. For help with research, writing, and citation, access the library or review library guides.

reply 1    The two social determinants that I have chosen are income and housing.   My first example is that the mortality rate for cardiovascular disease, all cancers combined, and diabetes is higher for those from lower educational levels and below the poverty line versus those who are above it. A 2015 National Health Survey says that those who make less than $35,000 a year are more likely to be diagnosed with the above-mentioned diseases than their counterparts. (National Library of Medicine)  My second example is housing: unstable housing, exposure to unsafe environments, and potential health hazards hurt health. These health hazards can vary from unsafe housing like potential lead poisoning to neighborhood hazards as violence, drugs, and unsanitary neighborhoods. (Medical News Today)  Aside from the initial Aids outbreak and the revolutions that had to go underway to gain some control of the spread of the illness, the two socioeconomic determinants I have chosen are a greater risk due to their continued growth in prevalence. As the divide between the middle class and the poor grows, the disadvantaged are at a higher and higher risk of contracting diseases.   I find the idea of Diffusion of Innovation Theory intriguing. Like our cell phones or the newest technology that everyone must have, things have a way of spreading like wildfire. New ideas, practices, and products have a way of spreading through a community. The theory goes on to describe the key players in diffusion which are innovators, early adopters, early majority, late majority, and laggards. (I’m a big fan of the use of marketing to distribute information that might not otherwise be seen or heard.) It is a way to get people excited and active in new policies or initiatives and can be used in public health objectives.   For example, a commercial for a new diabetic drug is airing during Nana’s favorite soap opera that she watches every single day. It is accompanied by a catchy tune that she can’t seem to shake. The next time she visited her physician, she asked about the new drug and if it would help her.   The best example of how marketing (DIT) can positively affect communities would be the use of commercials, radio, television, and internet advertising, to help inform people about the difference in vaccinations for Covid 19 from the very beginning of the epidemic. I know that I had questions for my physician about my choices of vaccinations and which would be best for me. My mother (who has MS) was prompted by all the ads to have in-depth conversations with her doctors about how she should take the initiative to protect herself in the best way possible during one of the most confusing times of my life.   References  GHEP Staff (2017). Social Determinants of Health in the United States: Addressing Major Health Inequality Trends for the Nation, 1935-2016  Social Determinants of Health in the United States: Addressing Major Health Inequality Trends for the Nation, 1935-2016 - PMC (nih.gov)Links to an external site.  Adam Bernstein MD ScD (2021). How Can Housing Influence Health, How can housing influence health?

Not only do these factors affect people's health, but they also affect society as a whole. To start with, we may think about SES. Research has repeatedly highlighted its significant impact on health outcomes. In their research, Adler and Stewart (2010) shed light on the complex relationship between socioeconomic status (SES) and health inequalities. They explain how variables like income, education level, and employment interact to determine who has access to health promotion tools and opportunities. People from lower socioeconomic backgrounds often have difficulties obtaining enough healthcare, healthy food, stable housing, and excellent education, all of which contribute to their worse health (Adler & Stewart, 2010). Second, one of the most important factors is the availability of healthcare. Uneven access to healthcare, which disproportionately affects marginalized communities, persists despite the fact that medical technology has evolved in the US. When it comes to improving health outcomes and decreasing health inequalities, the CDC stresses the importance of healthcare access (CDC, 2020). Health disparities are worsened when people do not have easy access to medical care, which delays diagnosis, treatment, and preventative measures. Why, therefore, are these factors more consequential to society than infectious illnesses like HIV, COVID-19, or influenza? Addressing socioeconomic factors provides a more comprehensive and long-term solution to improve population health, even if infectious illnesses certainly present serious risks. The World Health Organization (WHO) highlights the need to tackle socioeconomic determinants in order to attain health equality. It is worth noting that these variables are fundamental to how people experience health and illness (WHO, 2020). We can alleviate the core causes of health inequalities and promote a healthier and more resilient society by addressing socioeconomic gaps and improving access to healthcare services. To sum up, if we want to make America a better place, we must learn about and do something about the social determinants of health. Giving priority to measures that address socioeconomic gaps and improve access to healthcare can result in a more equitable health environment where everyone has a chance to thrive. Instructor Guidance I'd want to study "access to health care services" since it affects community health. This hypothesis states that equal healthcare access improves community health. Healthcare access is crucial for reducing health inequities and improving well-being at the state and national levels. For instance, state-level healthcare access discrepancies might affect people's health. States with low healthcare resources may postpone preventive care, diagnosis, and treatment, leading to inferior health outcomes (Leiyu Shi & Stevens, 2010). Healthcare access gaps lead to national health disparities across demographic groupings. Due to geography, insurance, and culture, racial and ethnic minorities, low-income people, and rural communities typically have trouble getting healthcare (Smedley et al., 2003). Mobile health clinics address the social determinants of healthcare access in my community. Rural and urban areas without healthcare facilities get services from these clinics. Mobile health clinics provide preventative screenings, primary care, and health education to disadvantaged groups, improving healthcare access and outcomes (Arcury et al., 2012). For health equality and population health, healthcare access restrictions must be addressed. Mobile health clinics and extending healthcare coverage may help ensure that all people, regardless of socioeconomic class or geography, have equal access to healthcare. References: Adler, N.

1.   As a case manager when it comes your confidentiality with information from a client it is quite important in your course of work with this individual. When you have a client,  it is important to build trust and maintaining confidentiality at all times makes ur client aware that you are someone they can trust with any situation they would like to discuss. After reading the material given it is found that sometime client confidentiality needs to be broken when an individual discussing “harming themselves or others or if the client has been neglected or abused or reports neglect or abuse of others.” Confidentiality and privileged information. (2015). In Reamer, F. G. (2015). Risk Management insocial work: Preventing professional malpractice, liability, and disciplinary action (Vol. [Updated edition], pp. 23-85). Columbia University Press. However, it is found too that in certain cases it is okay for case managers to maintain confidentiality as well. A case manager in settings like doing documentation, staffing/ consultations, and or working under supervision if they wanted to disclose information about their client it is said they have to make their client aware as well. Additionally did you know, “Sometimes the case manager needs information about the client from other agencies or institutions. It is important for the case manager to obtain written consent from the client to receive this information. The client may also have to provide a written consent to release the information to the agency or institution holding the information.” Confidentiality and privileged information. (2015). In Reamer, F. G. (2015). Risk Management insocial work: Preventing professional malpractice, liability, and disciplinary action (Vol. [Updated edition], pp. 23-85). Columbia University Press. An example I would like to include of when is a good time to break confidentiality is a real life scenario, it was when my client had made me aware that she was going to run away and she was a victim of DMST. For those that don’t know what DMST is this is basically a short term for children being involved with sex trafficking. Instantly the minute she told me she was gonna run away. I went to my program manager and made her aware that she was planning to leave the house before dinner and that a grown man was going to pick her up. At this time, my client was mad at me because she ended up finding out that I had told my program manager. But I was thinking more about for her safety because she already Had been involved with being raped and having other sexual traumas happen to her. to me, this invades the confidentiality that we had due to the fact that she only trust me to make me aware that she was planning on leaving, but that didn’t matter to me because I was thinking about her safety and at the end of the day, client safety is more important than keeping a friendship. And this field of work you have to set boundaries and make the client aware that you’re not telling them to get them in trouble but more so to protect them from intimate danger that can happen upon them. my manager, Manager had a immediately applaud me for making her aware that she was planning on leaving and set protocols were monitored the doors outside of the house, as well as the window in her room every 15 minutes to make sure that she was still in the home. Around 8 o’clock, I was made aware that the man that planned on picking her up arrives in the front of the house I immediately called 911. I made them aware of what was going on and let them know that he was planning on taking her somewhere to do. God knows what. I was on the phone with the cops. She began to scream. She hated me and she wished that she never told me because now I’m being extra in her words. I Let her know it wasn’t that I was being extra, I just cared about her too much to see her get hurt or not be able to see her at all. I praised her all the work that she did the program and made her aware that I didn’t want anyone to set her back. You should honor your client's wishes as much as possible, unless there is a legal or ethical reason to do otherwise. Lastly, I wanted to discuss documentation that helps support keeping a clients confidentiality. When we first took in a patient as an intake in our shelter, we had them fill out numerous amounts of documents, and these documents a HIPAA form was included their information was confidential, as well as a release form in order to obtain information on them from other facilities. This documentation now only helps keep the privacy of the patient as well as we get to learn more about the patient from obtaining their information from previous facilities and knowing how to go forth with treatment. In conclusion, this is why it’s important to keep confidentiality with your client as well as breaking confidentiality when need be.  2.  Granting clients confidentiality may be appropriate is these type of situations: Clients have a right to privacy and confidentiality (e.g., HIPPA, atoorney-client priveledge). Disclosure would cause harm or stigma (e.g., revealing sensitive personal information). Clients have explicitly consented to confidentiality. Information is sensitive or personal (e.g., sexual orientation, religious beliefs). Confidentiality is essential for building trust and effective working relationships (e.g., therapy, counseling). Some situations where confidentiality may not be appropriate would be: Legal or ethical obligations require disclosure (e.g., mandatory reporting of child or elder abuse, court orders). Serious harm or threat to self or others exists ( e.g., suicidal intentions, violent behavior). Confidentiality would compromise public safety or national security. Client consent is not informed or voluntary. Disclosure is necessary for treatment or service ( e.g., sharing information with healthcare providers)
