multi-factor productivity
reflects total outputs that result from
more than traditional inputs. Some criticize this productivity method as not
sound because it is calculated using di- mensional analysis. There are many factors that can positively or negatively impact productivity. Some of these factors include work
methods, staff competency, established
procedures and the quality of man- agement. Productivity can be increased
with improved work methods, enhanced
staff competency, better procedures and
a higher, more effective management
team. Adults are most motivated to learn when
the content addresses the adult's im- mediate learning needs. For example, a
nursing orientee will be more motivated
to learn about their new nursing unit's
policies and procedures than they would
about the history of the medical center and the corporation. Adults focus on
solving immediate problems. The Patient Protection and Affordable
Care Act, also referred to as Obama
Care, was signed into law in 2010. It has
not been repealed and it was deemed
constitutional in 2012. It will not be fully
implemented until several years after its
enactment into law. Your health care corporation has
$1,000,000,000 in total assets and
$654,639,098 in total liabilities. What is

total liabilities.

Orientation is... You observe a negative variance in
terms of your operating expenses during
your monthly review of the departmental
budget. After analysis, you have deter- mined that the source of the variance
is salaries, specifically overtime salaries. What should you do?
Negative budget variance... Positive budget variance... What are the phases of the recruitment
process?
recruitment: job analysis
recruitment: sourcing
recruitment: screening
recruitment: selection
Orientation is a process and not an
event. It is a well-planned, systematic
process that continues beyond the initial orientation period. Successful orientations continue on an ongoing basis until the new staff member is deemed fully
competent in most, if not all, aspects of
their job. This often takes months to ac- complish. You should collaboratively determine
ways to decrease the need for overtime
along with the staff because you have
a negative variance. A negative budget
variance indicates that the amount of
money actually spent is MORE than the
anticipated amount. [Show Less]
