Project Management Activities
The purpose of this paper is to select, describe, and justify an organization and project management activities for approval. I will provide the background on the projects current situation to include all pertinent personnel. Then I will breakdown what the problem and situation was and where we needed to be. In this paper the focus will remain on laying the groundwork of this project management activity.
The organization I chose is the Elmendorf Professional Military Education Center (EPME). By comparison, this would be considered small company whose purpose is to train enlisted Air Force members to become combat leader and first line managers. I have been working here for about 3 years as the Director of Education. Along with me is the commandant, Chief Murphy, who has been in charge for about 4 years. Next, there are 2 resource advisors, MSgt Copple and TSgt Bolden. Finally, the rest of the staff is made up of 10 instructors, all Tech Sergeants, with various specialties. Everyone is fully qualified to teach the PME curriculum regardless of their position and all of them have a good understanding of the requirements. The classes typically have 14 to 16 students and run every 6 weeks with 1 week off to prepare and transition to the next class. Finally, the civil engineer squadron supported us with Mr. Ben Thompson who had a background in drafting and contract management. Now that we have a better understanding of who is involved, let?s talk about the conditions that were causing some of the problems.
The schoolhouse currently occupies a 1950?s era warehouse building on Elmendorf AFB. There are 7 classrooms, 7 offices, 2 bathrooms, 1 auditorium, 1 break room, 1 snack bar, and 1storage room. The building has gone under several partial renovations that, over time, created more issues than they solved. For example: The offices where built in the larger portion of the warehouse with thin false walls. Since they only built 7 offices, some of the instructors had to share up to 3 each (ideally should be no more than 2). The classrooms were cramped with no central air and had obstacles like power poles that were installed in the center to run projectors. The bathrooms were expanded from 4 toilets 1 urinal and 2 sinks to 6 toilets 2 urinals and 2 sinks. However, This still does not satisfy the requirements of servicing over 120 people when class is in session. The auditorium only seats 60 people preventing the staff the ability to perform mass briefings. Next, there is only 1 break room for both the staff and students to share. Finally, the storage room is not adequate to support all the curriculum and office supplies. When we contacted and created a work order, THE Civil Engineer squadron sent over Mr. Thompson to do a preliminary walk through with our requirements, he said that there is enough square footage to make a complete renovation. This project has since been completed and I was involved in the entire process.
Thank you for reviewing this project management activity and I look forward to work on this as my Session Long Project.

You are working at the nurses? station one evening, and as you are sitting at your desk, you notice a group of about 15 people gathered around one of the physicians and his laptop. You wonder what is so interesting, so you glance over and notice some very graphic photos on the screen of an attempted suicide patient that was in the unit just last week. You become concerned because you feel certain that the patient could not have consented to those photos being taken and shown to others as she was unconscious at the time. Is this a breach of patient confidentiality? Why or why not? How would you handle such a situation?
Your response should be at least 200 words in length. All sources used, including the textbook, must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying citations. Any references or citations used should be in APA style.


Question 1

Many American hospitals have wound up employing family practice physicians or establishing contract management arrangements for their practices. Most hospitals that employ doctors have found that they are losing money on office operations. In essence, the hospital absorbs a loss on the physician practice management side in order to sustain key relationships with physicians who refer patients to the hospital for outpatient and inpatient services. How do you feel about this situation, which now faces so many American hospitals? As CEO of a community hospital, how would your address such a situation if it existed in your own organization.



Question 2

How would you describe the difference between a community health mission and the mission of a hospital or clinic medical facility? How would you set about creating a mission statement for a Community Health Partners Coalition type organization?


Question 3

Review the website of the National Association of Community Health Centers and the Case Example provided from the Billings Gazette.

Why are so many U.S. communities now applying for community health center grants and seeking ongoing federal funding for a community health center? Would you consider a career in managing a community health center? Why, or why not?

FINANCIAL BUDGETING AND PLANNING

CASE STUDY
X FACTOR SUCCESS STORY

Once upon a time there were two young hopefuls who decided to chance their luck and singing talent to the X Factor judges. This is their story.

Olly Lloyd was runner up, but still got a great record deal and set out on a recording career which is very successful. He has his own service company, SkipsaBeat Ltd., of which he is a Director. He pays himself an annual bonus in May each year, based on the profits for the previous year ended 31 March.

Whilst at Judges Houses he had met Leona Cardle, and they fell in love instantly. He married Leona in a closely guarded ceremony on Lake Garda, and sold the rights to Hi! Magazine for 2 million. They now have two children, John, 5, and Edward, 4. Both children attend the deeply posh Eastminster Preparatory School in Chelsea. School fees are 17,000 per child per annum.

He has recently returned from a short spell in New York. During his time there he had been advised to lay down as many different mixes of his singles as possible and this had been a remarkably successful financial strategy, as he topped the US and UK download charts for months on end. He has returned to his wife and family in London and has been offered a new (part-time) contract as Executive Talent Advisor by Bony Music Entertainment (UK) Ltd (BME). He has been offered a large bonus, lots of perks and a contract of employment. His income for 2011/12 was from SkipsaBeat Ltd, which was employing him during his stay in New York. He will be able to work as a recording artist (using SkipsaBeat Ltd) and for BME simultaneously in 2012/13.
He has also, (despite bad advice from Simon Walsh) managed to deal successfully in shares and has over the years (legally) gathered some serious investments and bling.

Leona belongs to the old 'county set' and is given to talking about Daddy' a lot and riding horses. She is a lady of independent means, most of her wealth having been passed onto her through a trust fund which she inherited at 21. However, she has no idea of what she is worth or how to manage her money.

They live in a flat in Chelsea, and also own a country house in Berkshire valued at 1.5 million. They also own a timeshare in a property in Florida (value 60,000) and a cottage in Cumbria. The Berkshire property has a 150,000 mortgage attaching. The flat in Chelsea has a 238,000 mortgage attaching. The current value of the Chelsea flat is 520,000 and it was purchased in October 2008 at a cost of 250,000. Olly also owns Lloyd House, from which he receives rental income for office space, but which he is intending to sell in the next tax year.

OLLY AND LEONA LLOYD-CARDLE

NOTES : -

Olly intends to make the following asset disposal in the year ending 5 April 2013:
Investment Property
(Lloyd House)
Sale proceeds 460,000

Cost on acquisition in 2008 214,500
This property is owned outright with no mortgage


Amounts of tax deducted at source from earned income under PAYE:
Olly 64,010
Leona 3,505

Olly gave Leona a new Porsche on 16 September 2011 for her birthday.
The value of the car is estimated to be 42,000.

During 2011/12 the Lloyd-Cardles are expected to receive the proceeds from an insurance claim relating to the destruction by flooding of one of their second homes, Riverside Cottage in Cumbria. The proceeds of the claim are expected to be in the region of 190,000.

Leona has an annual income of 25,000 for her advisory work for the Sloane Square Catering Company Limited, which she runs (part ??"time) jointly with her mother. The income is in the form of directors' fees.

At a recent Charity dinner, Leona promised to make a donation to the Distressed Yuppies Trust, a charity she is very fond of. The gift is to be 3,000(net), given as a lump sum. However, she has a few problems with this.

Leona has recently been offered work as a session musician, but she is not keen to leave the children and would rather be lunching with her friends. She has difficulty understanding cash management and is continually overspending the household budget.
She has run up credit card debts (average APR 19.8%) of 52,000, which Olly doesnt know about, and she can no longer get credit. She also owes 3000 to RapidCashQuick , a payday loans provider who have an interest rate of 2784%. She has a hairdressing bill of 600 which she cant pay and she used the money for the next school fees to pay off her bill at her local clothes boutique, and the school are now threatening her with legal action and the exclusion of John & Edward (editors note: enough to make your hair stand on end!)) if she does not pay the fees owed of 12,000 for this term.

FIRST ASSESSABLE ASSIGNMENT
OLLY AND LEONA LLOYD-CARDLE

Olly holds all the certificates for the shares and bonds in the safe, and has the passwords for her bank and buildings society accounts, apart from her current account, which now has an unauthorised overdraft of 3500, and she is being charged fees of 35 on every transaction and overdraft interest of 19%. She has now started to receive phone calls from the bank demanding she pay money into her account to clear the overdraft. She has already spent all her directors fees from the Sloane Square Catering Company, so has no ready cash to do this.

The utility bills for the house are mounting up, and Olly thinks she is paying these from a fund of 10,000 he put into a joint account, but she has spent this. There are red letters from these companies also and they are threatening to both take legal action and cut off her electricity and gas supplies. These arrears are currently 2500. She is not sure what to do about this, but is hoping they will not cut her off.
Her horses are also expensive: she owes stabling fees of 5,500 and 1,200 to the feed merchant.

She has no idea how to budget for either her household or herself, and is hoping that something will turn up to get her out of this mess.

Olly is completely unaware of any of these problems.

FIRST ASSESSABLE ASSIGNMENT
OLLY AND LEONA LLOYD-CARDLE

these purposes that they have been resident & ordinarily
resident in the UK for this fiscal year.

in mind that they have only a vague idea as to how the
different taxes operate and the basis on which they are
assessed. (30%)

of the new contract of employment with BME (UK)
Ltd in 2012/13. You should express it in terms that Olly can
understand easily and detail each item accordingly.
Detailed computations are not required, but you should
advise on all aspects, including the sale of the investment

FIRST ASSESSABLE ASSIGNMENT
OLLY AND LEONA LLOYD-CARDLE

Guidelines
For each individual, first, work out what the situation is, or what the problems are, and then think about possible solutions or courses of action which might mitigate or help their financial position.
You will need to do some calculations, but this is not the essence of the assignment. You need to clearly identify problems and work out how to change either attitudes and/or spending habits, or gain access to funds to make things better. There is no one correct solution and you need to support your recommendations with product research, for example, personal loan rates, and give internet or other references. For Leona you will need to do an outline cash budget.
Marks will be awarded as follows:
Overall structure & presentation 10%
Identification and analysis of problems 35%
Presentation of possible solutions 30%
Creativity of solutions 15%
Research and referencing 10%

For the tax computations there is a clear numerical solution ??" for the problems, however, things are not so clear! What I mean by creativity is that marks will be given for trying to devise solutions which may be complex, and may not succeed. This will get more marks than something safer and more straightforward. I am aware that at this stage in your studies you do not necessarily have all the tools necessary to produce a full answer to all aspects of the case study, but you do have the basic principles. Any research you do on areas not yet covered will be useful for you in the future, and your current stage of learning will be taken into account in our marking.
You will need also to link your solutions to current research and/or theory, and ensure your recommendations are realistic by searching the market for possible products to support your solutions. Try not to advise a single product, but give a range of loan rates, for instance.
Enjoy!

MANAGING OUT: THE PUBLIC SECTOR IN THE COMMUNITY

Process Analysis ??" (2500 words)

Analyse a process of managing out that has been implemented or changed in the Australian public health care sector. The analysis should be presented in the formats of an internal report. (REFER UNDER FOR PROCESS CHOSEN FOR ANALYSIS)

The analysis should cover the following points:

1. The context, including any relevant (but very brief) historical background leading up to the process being implemented.

2. Process outline, including a brief description of what was actually implemented in terms of managing out with various parties.

3. The challenges and complexity for management, including but not limited to potential risks or problems and why there might be local variations in service delivery in what is supposed to be a coherent and consistent system.

4. Resource implications, including financial, associated with addressing the challenges.

5. Possible management strategies.

Notes for Assistance

? Include in the report a definition of managing out.
? Internal report needs to have the scope to cover all five points above. (The 5 points could also be used as headings- demonstrating the requirements).
? Need to demonstrate an ability to cover the appropriate style, content and analysis.

? When management strategies are developed they need to take into account the availability of such resources as:

??key staff with appropriate competencies

??operating funds

??capital funds

??capital equipment

??office space and fittings

??telecommunications

??other related agency needs

??appropriate policies

??standard operating procedures.

The existence and extent of these elements determine whether management has properly designed, sequenced and resourced the strategy.

? The overall aim is to relate contextual understanding of trends in Australian public policy to a particular process of managing out and enable analysis of concrete problems entailed in managing out and to explore potential solutions.

? Need to demonstrate clear understanding of the relationship between the managing out process and some of the main themes, concepts, problems and resources

? Need to demonstrate ability to apply theoretical and contextual understanding to a concrete example.

? Choose a process of managing out that gives scope to raise the issues. It is not the subject of the process that is important ??" it is analysing and managing the issues associated with the process.

? Avoid lengthy descriptions of the process.



Comments
Has the public health sector (agency) outsourced a function previously managed in-house?
The outsourcing might have been to the private sector, the not for profit sector or even to another tier of government.
The assessment task is to identify, within the public health sector, the people and or the records of the outsourcing process.
The selected example then needs to be described, (who did what to whom, when and why and with what results) and analysed, using the 5 points (described above).

THE PROCESS CHOSEN ??" to form the basis of the internal report

A background paper was previously prepared concerning this topic, yet it doesnt analyse a process of managing out ??" see background.doc

Prior to implementation of the National Health Reform (see 7 below) New South Wales (NSW) comprised 8 Area Health Services, including Northern Sydney Central Coast Health ??" in 2009 this Area Health Service undertook an Area-wide VMO Quinquennium Process (see 1 and 2) to reappoint VMOs to Hospitals within the Area. The process involves a required Committee ??"Medical and Dental Appointments Advisory Committee (see 5). VMOs may be considered contractors, in that they are not employees of the organization.

As a result of the National Health Reform Agreement ??" the former Northern Sydney central Coast Health has been split into:
- Northern Sydney Local Health District
- Central Coast Local Health District
With each District now being governed by a Board ??" the Northern Sydney LHD Board has asked for a background paper on the VMO Reappointment process.

Write an Internal Report to the Northern Sydney Local Health District Board (see 10 and 6 below) concerning the Visiting Medical Officer (VMO) Quinquennium (reappointment) Process (to analyse the process used and provide lessons learnt).

To support this task in the former Northern Sydney Central Coast health a centralised unit was formed ??" the Senior Medical Staff Unit. ??" (see attach 1). The process undertaken was compliant with the NSW Health Policy (see 1 and 2 below and attach 2 and 3). From a governance perspective, at the time ??" accountabilities were:
- Director Medical Workforce (reports to) Director Workforce (reports to) Chief Executive (reports to) Director-General.
- Under the new National Health Reform Agreement the future of the Senior Medical Staff Unit is still in question ??" staff will have to be split to support the 2 Local Health Districts (no further resources are available). The Unit is currently based within the footprint of the Northern Sydney LHD though.

Title: Management Control Systems can be used as packages in order to support organizational objectives, control activities, and drive organizational performance. Write an essay that describes and analyses critically the challenges in using Management Control Systems as a package and the differences in the typologies used in the literature. Take care to illustrate your answer by reference to relevant readings and case studies.
Plan:
? How do you understand the ideas of MCS and MCS as packages?
? What arguments have been made that suggest MCS as packages might be a good way to achieve increased organizational performance?
? What issues and difficulties arise when it comes to the application of MCS as packages?
? What are the distinctive uses of MCS?
? What typologies of MCS as packages are offered in the modern literature? What are their differences? Do they share similarities? Which typology should a company use in order to use its MCS as a package?
? Can you offer illustrative examples of the use of MCS as packages to support organizational objectives and increase performance?
I also attached the instructions given to me for the essay.
