HWE330 Week 1 Discussion

In your first week and throughout this course you will encounter medical terminology.  Medical terminology helps professionals to describe the human body and its components, medical conditions, and functions in a science-based manner.  Chapter 1 of your text nicely defines kinesiology, which, broadly described, is the study of movement. For this discussion, you must address both Part I and Part II below in one initial post within the forum.  

Part I: Utilize the Medical Terminology video and the U.S. National Library of Medicine Medical Dictionary to address component A relating to Osteology, Arthrology, Myology, and Neurology. 

Students whose last names begin with A through M will use their own words to summarize the terms Osteology and Arthrology. List these terms in the subject line of your post.

Part II: After studying chapters 21 (Posture) and 22 (Gait) select one common postural deviation and one atypical gait. Next, slip into the shoes of a healthcare practitioner, and address the points below as though you are speaking with your patient who is experiencing the selected deviations.  Choose a name for your patient and address him or her directly, using applicable medical terminology.  Discuss the following:

Analyze the importance of having good posture.

Describe the previously selected postural deviation and name one possible cause for this deviation.

Discuss the previously selected atypical gait and a general cause for this abnormality.

Include two scholarly sources to support your research and findings (one should be your course text).  All sources must be referenced and cited according to the APA style as outlined.  Must be a minimum of 250 words.

Final Portfolio – Staff Development

Assignment Option #2: Training Program

The Portfolio Project is due at the end of this week.

For this Portfolio Project option, you will choose and build a training plan. Identify a common training problem that organizations struggle with and the best way to address this problem. Examples include: change management, technology implementation, communication, team building, and conflict resolution. Also, determine how to implement the training by identifying the method of delivery. Follow these steps:

  • Write the report.
  • Prepare the PowerPoint presentation.
  • Proofread and submit both items.
  • Congratulate yourself on what you have accomplished!

The report/presentation must include:

  • An eight to 10-page double-spaced paper (not counting the cover page, abstract, and reference page) with appropriate references. Make sure your paper is formatted and cited according to the CSU-Global Guide to Writing and APA Requirements.
  • An executive-level presentation (summary) not to exceed four PowerPoint slides.

The report must include the following items:

  1. Identify what the problem is and what type of training is being proposed. Relate this to the organization’s strategic imperatives.
  2. Prepare an overview of why the training is needed. Include the learning objectives that you have identified for the program.
  3. Research best practices on how to train toward this problem. Discuss what other organizations have done to train on this topic. You can include White Papers.
  4. Create a flowchart of the process to conduct research and collect data for decision making (which does not have to fit any specific process form; just make it clear).
  5. Outline an abbreviated needs analysis, including a high-level assessment of skills, costs, and risks.
  6. Propose high-level training solutions, including recommendations and justifications for development, implementation, technologies, and assessment type (or justification that training is not a solution that will adequately address the issue, and present  a proposal for a non-training solution).
  7. Write a conclusion that reiterates the recommendation and ties it back to the best practices of other organizations.

For project details, see the Portfolio Project description, which can be accessed from the Week 8 Assignments page.

Components of the Master Budget

A master budget provides an overarching view of an organization’s goals and expectations for the future. Due to its all-encompassing nature, there can be many components which are found in a master budget, each related to a different business operation or department, including the Human Resources department. For this Application, you will analyze the master budget and its components in greater detail. In a 2- to 3-page paper, address the following:

  • For each section of the master budget, describe its purpose, the type of information that would be contained in that particular section, and the importance of that budget section to the success of the organization. Consider the role of the Human Resource department. Discuss the importance of the master budget to the success of the HR function. What if any conflicts or potential inconsistencies might exist between an HR budget and the master budget? Be specific.
  • Comment on why each budget piece must be created in that specific order. For example, why does the sales budget have to come before the production budget?
