Sometimes any reward that an employee may get is not related and how well he/she performs their job. Although this case does not tell us what type of reward Sarah was getting for her job we can see that her level of satisfaction she had when doing her job. She perceived that a higher degree of effort on her part will lead to a reward.
Goal Setting Theory -- Latham and Locke (1983) suggested three steps to follow on this theory:
Setting the goal: In every meeting Sarah had to attend us observe that she was well organized. She has a goal to attend a meeting to discuss overall payroll, discuss issues with her assistant Maria, and deal with one of her new employees. In all of the meetings she knew exactly the issue and analyzes how to conduct it. It is very important for a manager to set their own goals as well as employee goals. If this does not happen the reputation on the manager may look suspicious or destruct. We need to give the example first.
Obtaining goal commitment -- Sarah has a meeting with Maria to discuss the performance. Maria was not the greatest employee but Sarah wants her to be more involved with others in her department since she is not a people person. Sarah can handle putting...
Making Maria commit to her job will probably fix the situation.
Providing support elements- Sarah has a new employee, Janine who she has to tell her how to do everything and worries about her changing the rules. Sarah as the manager needs to apply this support element and has to provide an action plan of agreed-upon goals and rewards so it not to have any ambiguities in the processes. This is not a solution that will avoid the situation but can prevent the changing of process or rules. One thing that Sarah could avoid in order for her not to feel bad about Jenine's personal situation was to consult with her about the overtime hours.
Reinforcement Theory -- To avoid the situation Sarah has with Maria and Jenine she could follow the Reinforcement theory. This theory will help Sarah understand the changes. It is my opinion that Sarah should use positive reinforcement and negative reinforcement. As an example make Maria or Jeanine change their attitude with their job has given them a positive reward in order to see if they change, also sometimes a negative reinforcement will be helpful in order to eliminate some overtime.
Intravenous Therapy or IV Fluids are introduced intravenously into the body in order to replace supply and electrolytes (Pearson 2010). These are large amounts of fluid, electrolytes or nutrients administered to a patient who needs them and cannot take them orally. Medication is also administered intravenously by a physician or by a nurse. The physician informs the nurse on the type, amount, and the rate of the solution to be injected.
All Medical Assistants The importance of customer service in a tertiary healthcare setting As you all know, the healthcare industry has been transformed in substantive ways as a result of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the growing need for timely recordation of services rendered in order to attain appropriate reimbursement of physician services and overall expense reimbursement for the medical facility.

EMTALA stands for Emergency Medical Treatment & Labor Act and was passed in 1986 to guarantee the public has access to emergency services irrespective of the ability to pay. The main reason for its implementation is section 1867 of the Social Security Act. This part imposes concise requirements on any Medicare-participating hospitals that provide MSE/emergency services. Before EMTALA, people were turned down for medical treatment if they could not pay,
Medical Ethics Ethics Interview Medical Ethics Interview Healthcare providers include nurses, doctors, social workers and a number of other professions that seem to exist on the periphery of the helping field. One of those on the outside, that many do not consider when looking at the healthcare profession, are professional counselors.
