Balanced Scorecard

 1. You make some great points about how the Balanced Scorecard isn't going to provide the best results in every situation. Just like any other tool the balanced scorecard has its limitations.

So, what can a company do to make sure this using this tool do to help ensure they are getting the results they need to effectively use them?

2.  What is a Balanced Scorecard? What is it used for? How is it used?

CHIEF COMPLAINT: “I am feeling like I’m going crazy”

HISTORY OF CHIEF COMPLAINT: Patient reports that he intentionally cut his leg at school yesterday before gym class. He realized that he would not be able to participate in class because he could not control the bleeding of the cuts. He went to the nurse and she referred him to the ER for admission.

The patient’s mother acknowledged that she works a lot and is infrequently at home, but stated that when she tries to spend time with the patient and express interest in his life, the patient shuts her out or states that he does not have time to spend with her because she needs to finish his homework. Patient’s mother additionally expresses confusion about why the patient behaves so differently than she did at that age, reporting that he was expected to be respectful and comply with her mother’s requests.

Police officers are faced with ethical dilemmas

 Police officers are faced with ethical dilemmas on a daily basis. These dilemmas can range from accepting a free cup of coffee from a business owner to being offered a bribe by a suspect. In some situations, officers have to make a decision in haste that could affect the rest of their career and personal life. Undercover officers face additional ethical dilemmas due to the nature of undercover work. It is crucial that officers are educated about and reminded from time to time of the Oath they took when hired.

Police officers have a code of ethics they agree to uphold when they are sworn in. The IACP has a code of ethics that law enforcement agencies have adopted. This organization also encourages on-going ethics training.

Your task for this assignment is to address the following issues:

Are there any changes you would make to the IACP Oath? Why or why not?

Compare and contrast the IACP Oath and the oath of your local police department? (If you cannot locate the oath of your local department, you may use the oath of any police department. Does media coverage of police officer corruption over-simplify the ethical dilemmas police officers face on a daily basis? Discuss what "entitlement" means and how it can affect the officers in your department.

Evaluate why many police departments ignore "entitlement" and focus more on other unethical behaviors during ethics training.

Discuss some solutions that your department can institute to ensure the officers understand the ethical dilemmas "entitlement" poses for the police department and the careers of the officers.

Format: You must use 12 point font. Your critique needs to be about one or one and a half pages (1 ½) long. You want to double space. You are required to use one quotation from the text that is punctuated correctly, according to MLA. The quote has 3 parts: a) an intro tag b) the exact quote c) the citation.

Ie: According to Homer, Achilles screamed “I will kill Hector” after Patroklus’s death (Homer 920).

Also, you must use two literary words  correctly in each of your critiques. The vocabulary does not necessarily need to come from the words that week. They may come from anywhere on the list, including the list of terms referring to literary analysis including: plot, setting, character, conflict, climax, irony, foreshadowing, imagery, mood, symbol, etc.

The Assessment Tool

 The Assessment Tool: This assignment involves design of a new assessment tool to evaluate a community facility or online program that focuses on the management of obesity through weight loss. The assessment tool should be flexible enough to evaluate any program dealing with weight-related issues. As you are designing the tool, you must consider the complete physical, psychological, intellectual, social, and spiritual well-being of program participants to determine if a program is adequately meeting a participant’s needs. In addition, the assessment tool must address co-morbidities and sensitivity to diversity. Develop a meaningful set of criteria to evaluate the services provided by the facility that you will be evaluating. These criteria will form the foundation of your assessment tool. You are encouraged to review the assessment tool grading rubrics and the Program Evaluation 2 instructions before completing this assignment. 

Several resources are included in the Reference section below. You may find it helpful to review these resources and others as you develop the assessment tool. It is important to know the comorbidities that are often associated with obesity, as well as factors that contribute to program adherence and successful weight loss.

Kofi Abebrese runs a small industrial company

 Kofi Abebrese runs a small industrial company that specialize in the production of high standard 

windows for housing estates. A worker is paid GH¢0.9 per hour and can produce two window 

with an hour. Each window uses a frame costing GH¢1 and incur a variable overheads of GH¢0.7. 

Each window sells for GH¢3. Currently, due to the economic condition, work is rather slack and 

three employees are occupied in carrying out extensive repairs to Kofi Abebrese's own house. 

Kofi owns a warehouse next to the factory, which had been used as a factory store, in the past. It 

is now let out on a renewable annual lease of GH¢600.

A new building company, Allied Consult, which specializes in the production of prefabricated 

houses has asked Kofi if he would be interested in accepting a contract for GH¢30,000 which will 

be for a year initially, to produced molded internal building sections. Kofi estimates that, the 

contract will take 13,200 hours of works, or the work of five men for a year, and that variable 

overheads would be GH¢10,000. The work would have to replace 9,600 hours of existing work. 

He estimates that the material required for the contract would cost GH¢6,000. 

Alternatively, the work could be carried out in the warehouse; the lease is due to be renewed next 

month. Kofi thinks this would involve the company in an extra cost of GH¢300 for heating and 

the cost of power would increase by GH¢500. He would hire two new workers and pay them 

GH¢2,200 each per annum. If the contract was carried out in the warehouse, the other three 

workers would be those at present repairing Kofi's house. The three workers are paid GH¢7,700

per annum in total and it would cost GH¢2,500 to get an outside contractor to finish the house 

repairs. Required

a. Advise Kofi on what to do. 

b. Consider the long term implications this decision might have on Kofi's business.

Compare the relationship of inmate rights with the safety

 Objective: Compare the relationship of inmate rights with the safety of corrections officers and institutional personnel.

The system must treat both inmates and corrections officers as fairly as possible. Inmates must be treated humanely and in accordance with the law, but at the same time corrections officers cannot be placed in danger. Corrections officers are monitored to ensure they are treating prisoners fairly.

Read the case study and prepare to discuss the questions that follow.

A case wherein an inmate assaults another inmate causing severe brain hemorrhage in the victim.

The inmate also kicks a corrections officer who is trying to stop the assault causing a large contusion on his leg that is treated at the scene by prison medics. The victim ultimately recovers with no long lasting damage but not after extensive rehabilitation.

The inmate is incarcerated on a murder conviction and is serving a 15-year-to-life sentence. He is up for parole in six months after having served 20 years on that conviction. He is charged with felonious assault on the inmate and assault on a corrections officer. He is facing an additional 11 years in prison if he receives the maximum sentence.

The inmate victim comes forward and does not want to testify for fear of retribution in prison due to the defendant's gang affiliation in the prison system. The corrections officer does not want to testify because he just recently started a new shift and does not want the stigma of being a weak corrections officer. The prosecutor is therefore forced to plea bargain the case down to the lowest level felony offense and the inmate gets an additional 12 months in prison. He will be eligible for parole again within one year.

How does the prosecutor justify resolving this case with a 12-month plea? Does this sentence agree with the principles and purposes of the criminal justice system? Is there a way to make either victim whole in this case?

How can we protect corrections officers from these types of incidents or should they just be considered a hazard of the job? If these incidents are a hazard of the job then should they ever be charged as a crime? Should it legally be a crime at all?

Does the prison have a way to deal with the fear of gang violence in this type of situation? If so, how?

Should inmates expect physical violence within the prison system? If so why charge the crime?

Health insecurity is at an all-time high

 Health insecurity is at an all-time high. In a time when thousands of people lose their health insurance every day, when health care is becoming elusive to even well-to-do Americans, and when any person is just one pink slip away from becoming uninsured, it becomes clear that health care for all is not just important to achieve, but imperative. At its root, the lack of health care for all in America is fundamentally a moral issue. The United States is the only industrialized nation that does not have some form of universal health care (defined as a basic guarantee of health care to all of its citizens

BACKGROUND

Mr. Akkad is a 76 year old Iranian male who is brought to your office by his eldest son for “strange behavior.” Mr. Akkad was seen by his family physician who ruled out any organic basis for Mr. Akkad’s behavior. All laboratory and diagnostic imaging tests (including CT-scan of the head) were normal.

According to his son, he has been demonstrating some strange thoughts and behaviors for the past two years, but things seem to be getting worse. Per the client’s son, the family noticed that Mr. Akkad’s personality began to change a few years ago. He began to lose interest in religious activities with the family and became more “critical” of everyone. They also noticed that things he used to take seriously had become a source of “amusement” and “ridicule.”

Over the course of the past two years, the family has noticed that Mr. Akkad has been forgetting things. His son also reports that sometimes he has difficult “finding the right words” in a conversation and then will shift to an entirely different line of conversation.

SUBJECTIVE

During the clinical interview, Mr. Akkad is pleasant, cooperative and seems to enjoy speaking with you. You notice some confabulation during various aspects of memory testing, so you perform a Mini-Mental State Exam. Mr. Akkad scores 18 out of 30 with primary deficits in orientation, registration, attention & calculation, and recall. The score suggests moderate dementia.

MENTAL STATUS EXAM

Mr. Akkad is 76 year old Iranian male who is cooperative with today’s clinical interview. His eye contact is poor. Speech is clear, coherent, but tangential at times. He makes no unusual motor movements and demonstrates no tic. Self-reported mood is euthymic. Affect however is restricted. He denies visual or auditory hallucinations. No delusional or paranoid thought processes noted. He is alert and oriented to person, partially oriented to place, but is disoriented to time and event [he reports that he thought he was coming to lunch but “wound up here”- referring to your office, at which point he begins to laugh]. Insight and judgment are impaired. Impulse control is also impaired as evidenced by Mr. Akkad’s standing up during the clinical interview and walking towards the door. When you asked where he was going, he stated that he did not know. Mr. Akkad denies suicidal or homicidal ideation.

Diagnosis: Major neurocognitive disorder due to Alzheimer’s disease (presumptive)
