You are the HR Coordinator for CASA Texas, and you have been asked by the HR Manager to create an interview protocol and score key to be used by multiple interviewers in assessing job candidates (volunteer CASA Child Advocates) for the position used in the previously completed Realistic Job (volunteer role) Preview. The three items the HR Manager would like assessed in the interview protocol for all applicants include the following:

  • organizational It [accountability[ as being accountable to others for our actions and the impact these actions have on others (Caw Texas, courts, children and their families, and self),
  • work group It [collaborative] as being collaborative and actively seeking opportunities to collaborate with and assist others in seeking win-in solutions, and
  • job fit [empathy] as being understanding of multiple perspectives and poor choices in difficult situations.

Submitting your assignment. Your assignment should be uploaded as an MS Word document by 11:59 pm of the due date. You will need MS Word to complete this assignment

Step 1. Create an interview protocol and score key for each of the three items using the format located on page 10 of the Structured Interviews: A Practical Guide. Ensure that the interview questions conform to the following requirements (1) is an open-ended question, (2) is not a leading question, and (3) is not a negative question. Develop a score key for each question with four levels and describe the response at each level.

Step 2. Test the interview protocol and score key in a mock interview with a test subject. The test subject can be with a family member, another student, or a colleague. Record the interview (audio or video).

Step 3. After completing the mock interview, consider the answers provided by the test subject and how the interview protocol and score key could be improved.

  • Step 3A. Interview protocol – Did the test subject understand the question and the information you were seeking? Did the test subject need clarification to answer the question? Was the answer provided by the test subject the information you were seeking? How can the questions be improved to ob.in the desired answer?
  • Step 3B. Score key – Was the level of response clearly apparent in the description of the response criteria? Does the description of the criteria need to be more specific or less specific? Does the score key need another level to assess the range of potential responses accurately? Could another interviewer use the score key and obtain similar scored outcomes?

In an MS Word document, provide a copy of the interview protocol and score key from step 1, the name and your relationship to the test subject as well as a recording of the interview from step 2, a reflection of how to improve the interview protocol and score key by responding to the questions posed in step 3 A and B.

Critical Thinking

The global marketplace has witnessed increased pressure from customers and competitors in manufacturing as well as the service sector (Basu, 2001; George, 2002). Due to the rapidly changing global marketplace, only those companies will be able to survive that will deliver products of good quality at a cheaper rate to achieve their goal companies try to improve performance by focusing on cost-cutting, increasing productivity levels, and quality and guaranteeing deliveries in order to satisfy customers (Raouf, 1994).

Increased global competition leads the industry to increase efficiency by means of economies of scale and internal specialization so as to meet market conditions in terms of flexibility, delivery performance and quality (Yamashina, 1995). The changes in the present competitive business environment are characterized by profound competition on the supply side and keen indecisive in customer requirements on the demand side. These changes have left their distinctive marks on the different aspect of the manufacturing organizations (Gomes et al., 2006). With this increasingly global economy, cost-effective manufacturing has become a requirement to remain competitive.

To meet all the challenges organizations, try to introduce different manufacturing and supply techniques. Management of organizations devotes their efforts to reducing manufacturing costs and improving the quality of the product. To achieve this goal, different manufacturing and supply techniques have been employed. The last quarter of the 20th century witnessed the adoption of world-class, lean and integrated manufacturing strategies that have drastically changed the way manufacturing firms leads to improvement of manufacturing performance (Fullerton and McWatters, 2002).

  1. Differentiate between lean Thinking and the JIT model. Why have Manufacturing Companies adopted Lean Thinking and the JIT model? (3.5 Marks)
  2. Briefly describe major types of Waste, out of all types of waste which one is the biggest waste companies must keep in mind during production. (3.5 Marks)

Scenario

You have just started your management consulting firm and have signed your first major client, BHM Marketing, which specializes in small business advertising.

Determine the number of FTEs (full-time equivalents) ROI staff that is needed for the listed ROI processes if the volumes were merged and managed by the HIM department.

Performance Standard

Evaluate staffing needs to facilitate a functional health information management unit.

The HIM department includes the Release of Information function for LiveWell Healthcare which includes the hospital, the Emergency Department, the Surgery Center and the LiveWell Medical Office Building that houses 25 providers. It is connected to the hospital facility by an elevated walkway which is convenient for patients and their families. Recently, LiveWell on boarded a smaller medical office building in a neighboring town, Pontiac. Pontiac Medical Professionals (PMP) has 12 medical providers, and the onboarding process has included the evaluation of services that can be absorbed at LiveWell by existing LiveWell staff. The existing staff of PMP and LiveWell HIM is currently being reviewed because completion of Release of Information duties is under scrutiny and ROI has been problematic at PMP because basically anyone who gets a request handles it – there are no procedural norms. Staffing for both is listed below as well as the existing count of ROI processes:

LiveWell HIM Department

PMP (Now LiveWell Pontiac)

Staffing
One Director (1 FTE)

RPU Supervisor (Record Processing Unit) (1 FTE)

Coding Supervisor (1 FTE)

14 Coders (12.5 FTE)

8 Medical Transcriptionists (7 FTE)

6 Chart Analysts (6 FTE)

3 Document Imaging Technicians (3 FTE)

2 Physician Incomplete Coordinators (1.5 FTE)

2 Coding Facilitators (2 FTE)

1 Data Analyst(1 FTE)

1  Documentation Integrity Specialist (1 FTE)

1 Cancer Registrar (1 FTE)

1 Release of Information Coordinator (1 FTE)

1 ROI Support Staff (0.5 FTE))

 12 Providers

8 RNS (6 Full time, 2 Part time)

10 LPNS (6 Full time, 4 Part time)

8 Medical Assistants

4 Receptionists

4 Coders

 
Volume of ROI Processes

(assume 52 weeks per year, 5 days per week, 260 workdays per year)
5 per day– attorney requests

5 per week – subpoenas

9 per day – insurance requests

20 per day -walk-in requests

1 per day miscellaneous request

20 pieces of mail each day

 1 per week- attorney requests

1 per month – subpoenas

3 per day – insurance requests

3 per day -walk-in requests

 
  1. Determine the number of FTEs (full-time equivalents) ROI staff that is needed for the listed ROI processes if the volumes were merged and managed by the HIM department. A full-time equivalent works 2080 hours annually (12 months). One FTE = 2080 hours. Use standard rounding for your calculations.

Record your answer in full-time equivalents here:

Number of FTEs Needed for all ROI Processes =

Processing time for each request type is as follows:

35 minutes to complete- attorney requests

2.5 hours to complete – subpoenas

45 minutes to complete – insurance requests

10 minutes to complete -walk-in requests

30 minutes to complete – miscellaneous requests

30 minutes to open/log – mail each day

 

  1. Next compare the existing number of HIM FTEs in ROI to the number of Needed FTEs (#1 above) and assess the need for additional ROI staffing. Be sure to use data to support your assessment. Record your assessment and recommendation for staffing here:

 

Existing HIM FTEs in ROI= Needed FTEs in ROI=
