System Development Life Cycle: Phase III – Design

 

This week ‘s assignment is two parts.

Part One:

Compare and contrast the various change management models. Provide a brief overview of your comparison. Which models have you seen implemented in the workforce?

Next, recommend which change model you would use when implementing your new HRIS, and explain why you would use the selected model.

Use at least one quality academic resource in this portion of the assignment

Part Two:

Now that you have assessed the business, identified some of the inefficient HR-related processes plaguing Larson Property Management Company, and pinpointed a few possible solutions, it is time to choose an HRIS application that will best suit the business. In this assignment, you will provide a blueprint for the new system and select a vendor that provides the type of HRIS you believe is most efficient and effective.

To prepare for this assignment, review the Larson Property Management Company case scenario on pages 114–115 of the textbook, and then research logical process modeling with data flow diagrams and HRIS vendors that may suit the needs of Larson Property Management.

Instructions

Write a 3–4-page proposal, in which you do the following:

Two Ways to View an HRIS: Data Versus Process

Explain the importance of viewing the HRIS from both a data and process perspective. Next, explain how the change team will use this information to address identified needs from Phase II: Analysis.

Logical Process Modeling with Data Flow Diagrams and Physical Design Choice

Based on your research of logical process modeling with data flow diagrams, explain the key business activities and processes in the HR system and how the data will flow. Next, determine the physical design and explain your reasoning for the design. Defend your decisions with theory and findings from past readings and class activities.

Choose HRIS Vendor

Now that you know the type of HRIS you will be implementing, it is time to choose an HRIS vendor. Compare and contrast three vendors, including a description of the cost, capabilities, and HR functions that the HRIS caters to. Based on your comparison, choose the HRIS vendor that you will recommend to your client, and explain the main reason why you decided to choose this vendor over the others.

Resources

Use at least four quality academic resources in this portion of the assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar websites do not qualify as academic resources.

-Discuss and evaluate generic and case study methodological approaches that could be used to investigate drug and alcohol addictions. -Propose a research question that would align with each approach and explain why the questions would be worded differently.

An Epidemic in the Community

To prepare for this Discussion, visit the CDC Wonder site in this week’s resources. Investigate the incidence and prevalence of TB in your community. What information did you find? Analyze how your community compares to county, state, or national data for the same topic. Was the incidence and prevalence of each higher or lower than you expected?

Consider the following scenario: This is Debbie’s first year working as a nurse at the local health department in a rural county. Most of her days are spent in the clinic seeing clients who often do not have health insurance.

Over the past month, Debbie has noticed that several young Hispanic men have come to the health department, each diagnosed with tuberculosis. Debbie is concerned about what the outbreak of tuberculosis among the migrant workers could mean for the community. Through a community health profile, Debbie identifies the group of migrant farm workers as being at highest risk for contracting tuberculosis.

Using the Epidemiologic Triangle concept, consider the relationship among causal agents, susceptible persons, and environmental factors.

By Day 3

Post your response to the following:

  • As a BSN-prepared community health nurse, what steps should Debbie take next?
  • Considering economic and social considerations within the community, what are the primary, secondary, and tertiary interventions that Debbie might use in managing this outbreak?
  • Can similar interventions be applied to your community and its TB prevalence?
  • What considerations need to be addressed within your community that are different form Debbie’s community?

Support your response with references from professional nursing literature.

Notes Initial Post: This should be a 3-paragraph (at least 350 words) response. Be sure to use evidence from the readings and include in-text citations. Utilize essay-level writing practice and skills, including the use of transitional material and organizational frames. Avoid quotes; paraphrase to incorporate evidence into your own writing. A reference list is required. Use the most current evidence (usually ≤ 5 years old).

This week we are talking about evidence, a critical part of creating arguments. There are a lot of evidence types, and some are better than others based on the situation. For this discussion, you will pick one of the five evidence types identified in this week’s Marteney reading(Chapter 6 from file) that you believe is the best type of evidence. Your discussion will create an argument for that evidence type.

  1. Your claim should be _________ evidence is the most reliable type of evidence. You should have at least two warrants with back to support this claim.
  2. You will find an example of this type of evidence and use this example to help support your claim. This could be used in the warrants, or it can be a third piece of support in addition to the warrants.
