Healthcare/Statistics/Human Resources Leadership
Human Resource Management in Healthcare
The article taken into consideration in this assignment is Home Care: The Fastest Growing Low-Wage Industry by Candace Howes. In accordance to Howes (2015), essentially all the growth and development in the Long-standing Services and Supports industry is encompassed in home and community-based services that are progressively being more subjugated by the fast-growing for-profit home care agency industry where charters are making considerable and noticeable progress (Howes, 2015). In contradiction of nurses' aides in hospitals and nursing homes, who are undertaking, in fact, similar jobs, home care workers employed by these agencies and by public entities are not covered under the FLSA (Fair Labor Standards Act). In turn, this makes it prohibitive for them to link with unions and repudiating them the right to minimum wage and overtime protection (Howes, 2015).
I agree that home-care health nurse aides ought to be eligible for minimum wage under the Fair Labor Standards Act. Such coverage is a change that is significantly required for home health care workers. This is largely because these individuals work more than 40 hours every week, taking care of the disabled and elderly individuals. For a long time, these individuals were not getting paid. These individuals ought to be eligible for minimum wage as their work is hard and demanding and the effort should not go to waste (Young, 2015). In accordance to Paychex (2015), home care is a field that is growing at a fast rate. With the rapidly aging population of the United...
Statistics indicate that according to the federal Administration on Aging, by the year 2060, the United States will have about 100 million older individuals, a number that is double the present figure. The inference is that these people will require considerable and regular assistance in health care, housekeeping, social contact, as well as activities for the day-to-day living (Paychex, 2015).
Assignment 2: Leadership in Healthcare
Leadership, especially in clinical practice, has been aptly defined as direct participation in clinical care while continuously encouraging and impelling others to improve the care they provide (Giltinane, 2013). In this assignment, the relevant model of leadership is transformational leadership in nursing. The article places Effective nurse leadership as an indispensable aspect in accruing optimum patient outcomes and workplace improvement. The culture creation contingency leadership phase does not necessarily posit as a new phase. This is owing to the fact that for the past twenty years or so, nursing leadership has been super scribed by one overriding, larger conceptual theory, that of transformational leadership (Hutchinson and Jackson, 2013).
Transformational leadership essentially corresponds to the functional associations between the subordinate and supervisor. Whereas any of these leadership theories can be employed to assist leadership formats (and thereby, criterion) in the nursing domain, transformational leadership is perceived as a fitting selection for developing leadership…

Statistics and Their Importance to Research Investigation. Although all research activities do not require the use of statistical data analysis when an investigator wants to report upon the differences, effects and/or relationships between and amongst groups or phenomena (i.e. variables) there must a concerted effort to measure the phenomenon with as much precision and accuracy as possible (Mendenhall & Ramey, 1973). This is, of course, accomplished through the use of
Statistics and Juries In the video "How Statistics Fool Juries," Oxford mathematician Peter Donnelly attempts to demonstrate through a number of examples how statistics, when viewed in a common manner, can be misunderstood and how this can have legal repercussions. Through a number of thought experiments, Donnelly provides the audience with examples of how seemingly simple statistics can be misinterpreted and how many more variables must be taken into account when
One of the most common fallacies is to confuse correlation with causation, but the two are actually distinct. My demonstrating that construction of snowmen and outbreak of acne occur simultaneously does not mean that snowmen produce acne. It may imply an underlying matter, such as the snow itself may contain some component that may instigate the outbreak, or the children who build the snowmen may be particularly vulnerable to
This type of measurement is best used when the data has also been captured at the ordinal or ratio level as the orthogonality of the data set is reliable (Marshall, Ruiz, Bredillet, 2008). Extrapolating statistics to a broader population is also dependent on the approach of randomization used. When a solid methodology, sampling frame and approach to randomization have all been defined, inferential data is often used in organizations
As explained earlier, statisticians in the academe and in specialist industries apply principles and techniques of statistics in different ways. Statisticians in the academe apply their knowledge of statistics in more scientific approaches: multivariate analyses, for example, are reported in a scientific manner, usually communicated in a scholarly approach through journal articles and published or unpublished research reports. Industry specialists, meanwhile, implement statistical principles and techniques more creatively, for their
Statistics are the tools to describe the systematic body of information that assist policy makers or managers to make decision about important issues. Statistics provide the accurate methodology to draw the accurate inference from the sample of data to the full population. Despite the benefits derived from applied statistics, there are challenges that policy makers face in measuring social issues. Answer to Question A In public sector, statistical approach is used to
