    **INSTRUCTIONS**

    This Assessment requires submission of 2 items: a 12-slide PowerPoint presentation and an employee schedule determining the appropriate delegation of roles and responsibilities with increased business hours.

    Waldenville Pediatric Clinic Case Study:
    Read the following scenario and access the necessary document to complete the two items.

    Waldenville has engaged you and a team of healthcare managers to consult on a new healthcare organization. Waldenville Pediatric Clinic, a new facility that will meet the healthcare needs of Waldenville’s citizens under 18, is due to open in a matter of months. You have been hired to consult on the setup and structure of the facility.

    [**Part I: PowerPoint Presentation**](https://tempolearning.brightspace.com/content/enforced/29505-HM4003/Assessment.html)

    · You have been asked to explain the organizational structure of the new clinic in a PowerPoint presentation for the board of trustees. Create a 12-slide presentation that maps the organizational structure of the new clinic and includes the following:

    · Title slide (1 slide)

    · Create a graphic showing the organizational structure (1 slide)

    · Describe the duties and responsibilities for each of the 8 positions described in the Waldenville Pediatric Clinic Overview (8 slides)

    · For each position, describe at least 3 duties or responsibilities that would be assigned to that person.

    · Note: This step requires you to do some research on similar positions in other organizations and tailor it to a Pediatric Clinic.

    · Describe at least two missing positions needed for the success of the organization (1 slide)

    · References (1 slide)

    · Reference at least one appropriate scholarly source in APA format.

    [**Part II: Roles and Responsibilities for Clinic Expansion**](https://tempolearning.brightspace.com/content/enforced/29505-HM4003/Assessment.html)

    · Two years have now passed since the clinic opened successfully. The clinic has now decided to expand its hours of service to 8 p.m. each day. The additional 3 hours will require additional staffing based on the following duties and competencies needed to meet this expansion of service, both for medical personnel and for health management personnel:

    · Receiving and checking in patients (staff of 1)

    · Examining, diagnosing, and treating patients (staff of 1)

    · Billing patients and insurance companies (staff of 1)

    · Observing and recording patient behavior and counseling and educating patients and families (staff of 2)

    · Packaging pharmaceuticals for distribution to patients (staff of 1)

    · Obtaining insurance authorization from patients and maintaining patient records (staff of 1)

    · Ensuring all patients receive effective care (staff of 1)

    · Marketing the clinic’s new hours (staff of 1)

    · Delegate the roles and responsibilities necessary for the clinic’s expansion of business hours. Justify your delegation.

    · Explain why workforce motivation is especially important in this type of situation.

    · From a management perspective, explain at least two strategies that you would use to motivate employees who are in new or changing roles.

    Your response should be 4–5 paragraphs in length.

    Waldenville Pediatric Clinic Case Study:
    Read the following scenario and access the necessary document to complete the two items.

    Waldenville has engaged you and a team of healthcare managers to consult on a new healthcare organization. Waldenville Pediatric Clinic, a new facility that will meet the healthcare needs of Waldenville’s citizens under 18, is due to open in a matter of months. You have been hired to consult on the setup and structure of the facility.

    [**Part I: PowerPoint Presentation**](https://tempolearning.brightspace.com/content/enforced/29505-HM4003/Assessment.html)

    · You have been asked to explain the organizational structure of the new clinic in a PowerPoint presentation for the board of trustees. Create a 12-slide presentation that maps the organizational structure of the new clinic and includes the following:

    · Title slide (1 slide)

    requirements but does not meet the level of

    detail for mastery. One or more of the following

    areas are deficient: presentation does not

    engage the audience or effectively use

    appropriate images and/or graphics to maintain

    interest; Slides contain too much narrative text,

    rather than listing an overview of key points in

    bullet-point form, accompanied by full-text in

    the speaker notes section; References and/or

    citations do not entirely follow APA guidelines

    and the script is not properly used in the

    presentation.

    Responses include evaluations and

    recommendations that reflect well-developed,

    researched, and detailed analyses of roles and

    responsibilities in healthcare management

    settings.

    The presentation is creative, engaging, and

    interesting to the audience. Slides include

    appropriate images and graphics that add context

    to the presentation and text is brief and concise

    (use of bullet points and not full paragraphs) that

    enhances the understanding of the topic.

    References and citations follow APA formatting and

    are used effectively in the presentation.

    Answer a series of related questions to demonstrate your understanding of emotional intelligence, its elements, its influence on leadership style, and its application in the healthcare workplace.

    Emotional intelligence (EI) is a calculation of an individual’s awareness of their own emotions and the emotions of others. The health field demands a high level of EI in interprofessional relationships and in providing patient-centered care. Individuals with well-developed emotional intelligence improve their leadership styles and workplace strategies in healthcare management. Leaders with emotional intelligence also have greater positive influence to affect health outcomes. In this competency, you will also assess your own EI, as a part of analyzing the influence of EI on leadership style. This Written Response Assessment consists of 7 items about the elements of EI, how it is assessed, how it impacts leadership styles, how it is applied and strategized in a healthcare setting, and how it can positively affect health outcomes. Assessment Submission Length: 7 items with responses ranging from 1–4 paragraphs each in length Competency Modules: • Module 1: What Is Emotional Intelligence? • Module 2: Emotional Intelligence and Leadership Styles • Module 3: Emotionally Intelligent Strategies for Positive Health Outcomes

    **Instructions**

    Answer a series of related questions to demonstrate your understanding of emotional intelligence, its elements, its influence on leadership style, and its application in the healthcare workplace.

    Emotional intelligence (EI) is a calculation of an individual’s awareness of their own emotions and the emotions of others. The health field demands a high level of EI in interprofessional relationships and in providing patient-centered care. Individuals with well-developed emotional intelligence improve their leadership styles and workplace strategies in healthcare management. Leaders with emotional intelligence also have greater positive influence to affect health outcomes. In this competency, you will also assess your own EI, as a part of analyzing the influence of EI on leadership style. This Written Response Assessment consists of 7 items about the elements of EI, how it is assessed, how it impacts leadership styles, how it is applied and strategized in a healthcare setting, and how it can positively affect health outcomes. Assessment Submission Length: 7 items with responses ranging from 1–4 paragraphs each in length Competency Modules: • Module 1: What Is Emotional Intelligence? • Module 2: Emotional Intelligence and Leadership Styles • Module 3: Emotionally Intelligent Strategies for Positive Health Outcomes

    The case for lo pro: why America's latest dietary fetish is bad
    for just about everybody
    Author: Maddie Oatman
    Date: September-October 2016
    From: Mother Jones(Vol. 41, Issue 5)
    Publisher: Foundation for National Progress
    Document Type: Article
    Length: 945 words

    Full Text:
    [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED]

    YOU MIGHT NOTICE, the next time you go grocery shopping, that supermarket aisles are turning into one big advertisement for
    protein. The health claims are everywhere. Wheyhey ice cream–"20 g of protein per pot"–promises to help with "losing weight" and
    "skin anti aging." P28 high-protein sliced bread wants to be "part of your journey to a healthy lifestyle." Kellogg's Special K Protein
    cereal "satisfies hunger longer." Everyone at work seems to be on a high-protein Paleo diet. And American consumers, according to
    one business analytics firm, spend about $250 million a year on protein powder alone.

    Given all the hype, it might come as no surprise that American adults are eating roughly double the average daily protein
    recommendation of 60 grams for women and 70 grams for men. "If you have enough calories in your diet, not getting enough protein
    would be very, very hard," journalist Marta Zaraska told me when I interviewed her for Bite, Mother Jones food podcast.

    So what's driving the overconsumption? In her recent book, Meathooked: The History and Science of Our 2.5-Million-Year Obsession
    With Meat, Zaraska traces the origins of America's love affair with protein back to a shaky research finding from the 1800s: German
    scientist Carl von Voit set out to determine how much protein soldiers and hard laborers required by observing how much protein they
    consumed (150 grams a day). "It's a bit like observing children stuffing themselves with cookies and concluding that young humans
    require tons of sugar to grow," Zaraska writes. By 1944, the US Department of Agriculture had halved the von Voit recommendation,
    but the myth persisted.

    Most of the protein we eat comes from animals: The average American adult ate roughly 225 pounds of meat and fish last year. Until
    fairly recently, conventional wisdom held that meat, which contains large amounts of essential amino acids, provides our bodies with
    "complete" proteins, whereas plants cannot. But that's not really true. Zaraska credits part of the misunderstanding to, ironically
    enough, the 1971 bestseller Diet for a Small Planet. Frances Moore Lappe's seminal manual for low-impact living encouraged
    vegetarians to (painstakingly) chart the amino acid content of the plant foods they consumed and "complete" the proteins by eating
    those foods in complementary combinations.

    It's true that some plant foods are low in certain essential amino acids. Beans, for instance, are lacking in methionine, whereas grains
    have plenty. But by the 1980s, scientists had figured out that "the liver can store the amino acids so we don't have to combine them in
    one meal," explains the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. And plant-derived foods such as buckwheat, quinoa, and soy can deliver
    complete proteins in one fell swoop. Lappe apologized in her 20th-anniversary edition for reinforcing a "myth"–one perpetuated by
    websites like Paleo Leap, which touts meat's protein benefits and claims "the only people who have to worry about mixing and
    matching specific protein sources are vegetarians."

    Many health experts now say that if you eat a broad range of foods, vegetarian or otherwise, you needn't give protein a second
    thought. The Institute of Medicine's latest intake recommendation is 0.36 grams of protein daily per pound of body weight, and slightly
    more if you're pregnant or lactating. Being neither, and a bit lighter than average, I need about 44 grams a day. But when I tallied up
    everything I ate one day this past spring, I was startled to discover I had downed 64 grams of protein without even trying. Cashew
    milk with my morning oatmeal (15 grams total), black beans (7 grams), and cheese ravioli (12 grams) easily put me over the top, and
    I don't even eat meat! Considering the protein content of a four-ounce serving of chicken breast (35 grams) or skirt steak (29 grams),
    it's easy to see how we well-fed Americans overshoot our daily needs.

    It's not that a little extra protein will hurt you, says Christopher Gardner, a professor of medicine at Stanford University. For most
    people, it's fine. But "high protein" food products often come packed with other, less healthy ingredients. Consider Cheerios Protein:
    When the cereal launched in 2014, General Mills claimed its new O's would provide "long-lasting energy," but that likely had more to
    do with the fact that Cheerios Protein contains 14 times as much added sugar as regular Cheerios–with just a touch more protein.

    But while Gardner worries that our protein obsession is edging out real foods–"We're saying, I'm going to have a bar as a meal,'
    which means it's coming with fewer of the natural nutrients"–his bigger concern is the environmental impact. Some two-thirds of the
    protein we eat is from animals, which are resource intensive. Producing a one-third-pound hamburger, for instance, requires 660
    gallons of water–to say nothing of the deforestation, water pollution, habitat loss, and desertification related to meat, egg, and dairy
    operations. The food system is responsible for roughly a quarter of global greenhouse gas emissions–and most of that comes from
    raising livestock.

    In 2015, the advisory committee for federal dietary guidelines urged a shift away from meat and toward a plant-heavy diet that is
    "more health promoting" and "associated with lesser environmental impact." The meat industry's friends in Congress made sure the
    environmental precautions were left out of the final guidelines. But Oxford University researchers upped the ante this year, estimating
    that a global shift from animal proteins to a more plant-based diet could slash food-related emissions by up to 70 percent by 2050. So
    the next time you hit the steakhouse or stock up on beef jerky, just be aware that your amino habit could, in the words of the Oxford
    team, have "major ramifications" for the planet's health.

    The case for lo pro: why America's latest dietary fetish is bad
    for just about everybody

    YOU MIGHT NOTICE, the next time you go grocery shopping, that supermarket aisles are turning into one big advertisement for
    protein. The health claims are everywhere. Wheyhey ice cream–"20 g of protein per pot"–promises to help with "losing weight" and
    "skin anti aging." P28 high-protein sliced bread wants to be "part of your journey to a healthy lifestyle." Kellogg's Special K Protein
    cereal "satisfies hunger longer." Everyone at work seems to be on a high-protein Paleo diet. And American consumers, according to
    one business analytics firm, spend about $250 million a year on protein powder alone.

    Given all the hype, it might come as no surprise that American adults are eating roughly double the average daily protein
    recommendation of 60 grams for women and 70 grams for men. "If you have enough calories in your diet, not getting enough protein
    would be very, very hard," journalist Marta Zaraska told me when I interviewed her for Bite, Mother Jones food podcast.

    So what's driving the overconsumption? In her recent book, Meathooked: The History and Science of Our 2.5-Million-Year Obsession
    With Meat, Zaraska traces the origins of America's love affair with protein back to a shaky research finding from the 1800s: German
    scientist Carl von Voit set out to determine how much protein soldiers and hard laborers required by observing how much protein they
    consumed (150 grams a day). "It's a bit like observing children stuffing themselves with cookies and concluding that young humans
    require tons of sugar to grow," Zaraska writes. By 1944, the US Department of Agriculture had halved the von Voit recommendation,
    but the myth persisted.

    Most of the protein we eat comes from animals: The average American adult ate roughly 225 pounds of meat and fish last year. Until
    fairly recently, conventional wisdom held that meat, which contains large amounts of essential amino acids, provides our bodies with
    "complete" proteins, whereas plants cannot. But that's not really true. Zaraska credits part of the misunderstanding to, ironically
    enough, the 1971 bestseller Diet for a Small Planet. Frances Moore Lappe's seminal manual for low-impact living encouraged
    vegetarians to (painstakingly) chart the amino acid content of the plant foods they consumed and "complete" the proteins by eating
    those foods in complementary combinations.

    It's true that some plant foods are low in certain essential amino acids. Beans, for instance, are lacking in methionine, whereas grains
    have plenty. But by the 1980s, scientists had figured out that "the liver can store the amino acids so we don't have to combine them in
    one meal," explains the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. And plant-derived foods such as buckwheat, quinoa, and soy can deliver
    complete proteins in one fell swoop. Lappe apologized in her 20th-anniversary edition for reinforcing a "myth"–one perpetuated by
    websites like Paleo Leap, which touts meat's protein benefits and claims "the only people who have to worry about mixing and
    matching specific protein sources are vegetarians."

    Many health experts now say that if you eat a broad range of foods, vegetarian or otherwise, you needn't give protein a second
    thought. The Institute of Medicine's latest intake recommendation is 0.36 grams of protein daily per pound of body weight, and slightly
    more if you're pregnant or lactating. Being neither, and a bit lighter than average, I need about 44 grams a day. But when I tallied up
    everything I ate one day this past spring, I was startled to discover I had downed 64 grams of protein without even trying. Cashew
    milk with my morning oatmeal (15 grams total), black beans (7 grams), and cheese ravioli (12 grams) easily put me over the top, and
    I don't even eat meat! Considering the protein content of a four-ounce serving of chicken breast (35 grams) or skirt steak (29 grams),
    it's easy to see how we well-fed Americans overshoot our daily needs.

    It's not that a little extra protein will hurt you, says Christopher Gardner, a professor of medicine at Stanford University. For most
    people, it's fine. But "high protein" food products often come packed with other, less healthy ingredients. Consider Cheerios Protein:
    When the cereal launched in 2014, General Mills claimed its new O's would provide "long-lasting energy," but that likely had more to
    do with the fact that Cheerios Protein contains 14 times as much added sugar as regular Cheerios–with just a touch more protein.

    But while Gardner worries that our protein obsession is edging out real foods–"We're saying, I'm going to have a bar as a meal,'
    which means it's coming with fewer of the natural nutrients"–his bigger concern is the environmental impact. Some two-thirds of the
    protein we eat is from animals, which are resource intensive. Producing a one-third-pound hamburger, for instance, requires 660
    gallons of water–to say nothing of the deforestation, water pollution, habitat loss, and desertification related to meat, egg, and dairy
    operations. The food system is responsible for roughly a quarter of global greenhouse gas emissions–and most of that comes from
    raising livestock.

    In 2015, the advisory committee for federal dietary guidelines urged a shift away from meat and toward a plant-heavy diet that is
    "more health promoting" and "associated with lesser environmental impact." The meat industry's friends in Congress made sure the
    environmental precautions were left out of the final guidelines. But Oxford University researchers upped the ante this year, estimating
    that a global shift from animal proteins to a more plant-based diet could slash food-related emissions by up to 70 percent by 2050. So
    the next time you hit the steakhouse or stock up on beef jerky, just be aware that your amino habit could, in the words of the Oxford
    team, have "major ramifications" for the planet's health.

    more if you're pregnant or lactating. Being neither, and a bit lighter than average, I need about 44 grams a day. But when I tallied up
    everything I ate one day this past spring, I was startled to discover I had downed 64 grams of protein without even trying. Cashew
    milk with my morning oatmeal (15 grams total), black beans (7 grams), and cheese ravioli (12 grams) easily put me over the top, and
    I don't even eat meat! Considering the protein content of a four-ounce serving of chicken breast (35 grams) or skirt steak (29 grams),
    it's easy to see how we well-fed Americans overshoot our daily needs.

    It's not that a little extra protein will hurt you, says Christopher Gardner, a professor of medicine at Stanford University. For most
    people, it's fine. But "high protein" food products often come packed with other, less healthy ingredients. Consider Cheerios Protein:
    When the cereal launched in 2014, General Mills claimed its new O's would provide "long-lasting energy," but that likely had more to
    do with the fact that Cheerios Protein contains 14 times as much added sugar as regular Cheerios–with just a touch more protein.

    But while Gardner worries that our protein obsession is edging out real foods–"We're saying, I'm going to have a bar as a meal,'
    which means it's coming with fewer of the natural nutrients"–his bigger concern is the environmental impact. Some two-thirds of the
    protein we eat is from animals, which are resource intensive. Producing a one-third-pound hamburger, for instance, requires 660
    gallons of water–to say nothing of the deforestation, water pollution, habitat loss, and desertification related to meat, egg, and dairy
    operations. The food system is responsible for roughly a quarter of global greenhouse gas emissions–and most of that comes from
    raising livestock.

    In 2015, the advisory committee for federal dietary guidelines urged a shift away from meat and toward a plant-heavy diet that is
    "more health promoting" and "associated with lesser environmental impact." The meat industry's friends in Congress made sure the
    environmental precautions were left out of the final guidelines. But Oxford University researchers upped the ante this year, estimating
    that a global shift from animal proteins to a more plant-based diet could slash food-related emissions by up to 70 percent by 2050. So
    the next time you hit the steakhouse or stock up on beef jerky, just be aware that your amino habit could, in the words of the Oxford
    team, have "major ramifications" for the planet's health.
