Review the following:
Chapter 9 from the course textbook, Dessler, G. Human Resource Management.
The Harvard Business Review article – The Performance Management RevolutionLinks to an external site. by Peter Cappelli and Anna Tavis.
Please review the following excerpt from the Article, “Reimagining the Performance Review” by Theresa Agovino
After an annual review that lasted about 10 minutes, a New Jersey-based account coordinator knew it was time to leave the public relations agency where he had worked for almost a year. The 25-year-old, who requested anonymity, asked for the meeting because his boss hadn’t mentioned any formal assessment process, nor had his manager ever critiqued his work. The coordinator says he sat with a trio of senior executives who didn’t ask him any questions beyond how he would rate himself. He says they ignored his requests for guidance on how to advance at the agency.
“What I was really looking for was feedback from them on how I can improve, how I can establish myself at that agency,” he says. “At the end of it, there was no mention of next steps. I was very much in the dark.”
His story is an all-too-typical example of the problems with performance reviews. Now more than ever, employees want to know where they stand and how to further their careers, but most organizations do not effectively deliver that information.
For this assignment, you will assume the role of the HR Director.

DIFFICULT DECISIONS
Review the following case study and address the questions that follow:
The plaintiff, Bonita Perkins, in Perkins v. Lavin, was a Jehovah’s Witness. She gave birth to a baby at the defendant’s hospital. After going home, she began hemorrhaging and               returned to the hospital. She specifically informed the defendant’s employees that she     was not to be provided any blood or blood derivatives, and she signed a form to that        effect:
I request that no blood or blood derivatives be administered to [plaintiff] during this           hospitalization, notwithstanding that such treatment may be deemed necessary in the     opinion of the attending physician or his assistants to preserve life or promote recovery. I  release the attending physician, his assistants, the hospital, and its personnel from any       responsibility for any untoward results due to my refusal to permit the use of blood or its  derivatives.
Because of the plaintiff’s condition, it became necessary to perform an emergency             dilation and curettage. She continued to bleed, and her condition deteriorated                    dramatically. Her blood count dropped, necessitating administration of blood products as a lifesaving measure. Her husband, who was not a Jehovah’s Witness, consented to a        blood transfusion, which was administered. The plaintiff recovered and filed an action       against the defendant for assault and battery. The plaintiff’s claim as to assault and          battery was sustained.
The plaintiff specifically informed the defendant that she would consider a blood                  transfusion as offensive contact. Although both parties noted that the plaintiff’s husband  provided his consent for the transfusion, the defendant had not argued that his consent   was sufficient to overcome the plaintiff’s direction that she was not to receive a                    transfusion. The plaintiff submitted sufficient evidence to the trial court to establish that      there was, at least, a genuine issue as to whether the defendant intentionally invaded her  right to be free from offensive contact. Because of the plaintiff’s recognition that the           defendant acted to save her life, a jury may find that she is entitled to only nominal            damages.
Tasks:
Should the court be the ultimate decision maker when there is a dispute over whether a lifesaving measure should be administered to a nonconsenting patient? Explain.
Should a parent have the right to refuse a lifesaving treatment (e.g., transfusion) for a minor? Explain.
To support your work, use your course and textbook readings. As in all assignments, cite    your sources in your work and provide references for the citations in APA format. Please     add  precise conclusion.

Write me a 2 page essay with three reference on how universal health care coverage plan will benefits in the United States in full APA format .

Develop a 2-4 page scholarly paper in which you describe the diagnosis you researched for the previous assessment, and then identify and analyze credible evidence that could be used as the basis for applying EBP to the issue.
Introduction
The goal of using evidence-based research findings is to enhance safety and quality of patient care and ensure optimal outcomes are achieved. It is not uncommon to hear a nurse say, “why change it as we’ve always done it this way.” However, this is no longer acceptable in today’s practice environment. The profession of nursing has evolved, and the expectation is that the professional nurse has a scientific foundation to support the care that is provided. As the profession of nursing continues to evolve and engage in health care transformation, baccalaureate-prepared nurses are expanding taking on leadership roles that include incorporating EBPs. To be able to do this, the nurse needs to understand the criteria and makes a resource credible, as this is crucial when deciding if the research is valid and reliable for implementation into health care settings. The nurse will need to incorporate the use of evidence-based practice models. EBP models are designed to assist the nurse in developing a plan to gather evidence to answer a practice problem or question. It is a systematic approach to direct the user to incorporate scholarly findings into current practice. These EBP models lead the nurse through the decision-making process of evaluating the literature to determine the best practice evidence for the practice issue or question.
It would be an excellent choice to complete the Vila Health Determining the Credibility of Evidence activity prior to developing the report. The activity is a media simulation that offers an opportunity to review a scenario and work on determining the credibility of presented evidence. These skills will be necessary to complete Assessment 2 successfully. This media simulation is one potential source of context on which to base your assessment submission. This will take just a few minutes of your time and is not graded.
Professional Context
As a baccalaureate-prepared nurse, you will be responsible for locating and identifying credible and scholarly resources to incorporate the best available evidence for the purposes of enhancing clinical reasoning and judgement skills. When reliable and relevant evidence-based findings are utilized, patients, health care systems, and nursing practice outcomes are positively impacted.
Scenario
For this assessment, use the specific diagnosis/health issue you selected for the first assessment.
Instructions
The purpose of this analysis is to better understand what constitutes credibility of journal articles as well as websites. The role of the baccalaureate-prepared nurse in incorporating evidence-based research continues to growth in clinical practice. As quality improvement (QI) measures to reduce safety risks continue to be emphasized, the need for evidence-based models and evidence-based templates is growing. This type of systematic approach to incorporating evidence-based findings allows nurses to make clinical and operational decisions based upon the best available evidence. When the most up-to-date evidence-based findings are utilized, patient-centered care improves outcomes and enhances the patient experience.
Below is a quick review table of several well-known Evidence-Based Practice Models used to guide exploration:
Evidence-Based Practice Models
Iowa Model of Evidence-Based Practice
Stetler Model
Ottawa Model
PARiHS (Promoting Action on Research Implementation in Health Services) Model
ACE (Academic Center for Evidence-Based Practice) Star Model
ARCC (Advancing Research and Clinical Practice Through Close Collaboration) Mode
John Hopkins Model
KTA (Knowledge-to-Action) Model
For this assessment:
Explain the criteria that should be used when determining the credibility of journal articles as well as websites.
Support your explanations with references to the literature or research articles that describe criteria that should be used to determine credibility.
Your identification and determination of credibility should be done within the context of your chosen diagnosis for this assessment. Your initial identification of resources should be of resources that will best help address the presented diagnosis you selected. Since you are locating resources to help provide evidence-based care for the diagnosis/health care issue you identified in the first assessment, you may want to begin your literature and evidence search from the databases that were identified.
Be sure to address the following in this assessment, which correspond to the grading criteria in the scoring guide. Please study the scoring guide carefully so that you will know what is needed for a distinguished score.
Describe a chosen diagnosis that could benefit from an evidence-based approach.
Explain criteria that should be considered when determining credibility of resources such as journal articles and websites.
