Cost Control Policy
Assignment Content
All health care organizations must be aware of cost controls, regardless of their nonprofit or for-profit status.
Managing costs at levels of the organization affects the bottom line, which has a direct effect on all aspects of the organization.
This assignment is designed to help you analyze why organizational policies are put in place.
Find a policy at a health care organization related to cost controls.
Summarize the details of the policy:
• When was the policy put in place?
• Was it adopted system-wide, in one department, or in multiple departments?
• What does the policy address?
• What are potential ramifications of not following the policy at the organizational level? Unit level? Individual level?
Explain how the policy impacts fiscal aspects of the organization:
• How does the policy act as a cost control?
Describe how the policy impacts the quality of patient care:
• Does the policy improve efficiency?
• Are the goals to improve care and reduce cost?
Explore the unintended consequences:
• What secondary affects does the policy have on the organization? Unit? Staff? Patient?
• Does the policy need revision?
Suggest alternatives to the policy:
• In your opinion, is the policy the best way to address the issue? Support your position by explaining why or why not.
Recently we have gone through (and are still going through) a pandemic, a massive social movement for racial equality, a financial crisis, and we just came out of an election year.
Much of the public discourse surrounding all of these current issues shows polarized viewpoints and an inability for viewpoints to change when presented with new information, an openness to hearing others’ views, or generally a desire to engage in critical reasoning.
How do you think critical reasoning could help to move these issues in a positive direction, and how can that be applied in a way that people do not feel threatened?
You do not have to respond with references to the reading, but it may be helpful for you to think about this question in reference to the reading.

Gordon Allport conducted immense research in the field of personality in an attempt to define the term and how it is comprised.
He believed that personality is a product and a process, and it plays a large role in motivation. In his proposed structure of personality, personal dispositions are dynamic and help guide other dispositions (Feist, 2018). Consider the following:
What are the levels of personal dispositions, and how are they different from one another? Provide an example of each level.
What is the relationship between personal dispositions and motivation?
What role does proprium have in the structure of personality?

Tesl602-REPLIES-Discussion Thread: Needs Assessment
Discussion Two

Needs Analysis Process
1. Determine what kind of information is important to know and why
2. Decide how and when to gather the information
3. Interpretation of information
4. Make decisions based on the information
(Graves, 2000, p. 100)
Needs assessment is a way of finding out what the learner needs and wants out of a course, what level a learner is at in their language proficiency, a type of dialogue between all parties and it is a way to reconcile differing views (Graves, 2000, p. 100).
One explanation that sticks out the most to me from our reading is that needs analysis and assessment can and should be a dialogue between people such as “the teacher and administrators, parents, other teachers; between the teacher and learners; among the learners” (Graves, 2000, p. 98). If this approach is used, then the types of data that can be gathered are numerous.
Students preferences and wants can be ascertained through data collection such as level of comfort in the classroom and what topics students are interested in (Graves, 2000, p. 103).
Another important result from needs assessment is learning what the student’s desired goals are (Graves, 2000, p. 101).
A diverse classroom can make the assessment more difficult and result in an extremely wide range of wants and interests, which cannot be realistically met by one teacher and in the short time frame most courses provide.
This is reiterated by Graves (2000) when she states, “even when needs assessment only involves the teacher and the learners it is still a complex undertaking because different learners within the same class usually have somewhat different needs” (p. 100). Needs assessment is another important part of designing a course which determines what direction should be taken in curriculum, goals, and most aspects.
