One important consideration for job seekers is to create a personal mission statement.  Based on the information in this weeks reading, write your personal mission and vision statement. Use the 5-step mission/vision building process to create your  personal mission and vision statement.

We negotiate multiple times every day in encounters with others. Negotiation occurs when two or more parties have conflicting goals or interests.

Reflect on the past week and identify an instance where you negotiated with someone—at home, at work, or anytime you had contact with another person.

For the first paragraph of your initial post, describe the negotiation event, including the participants, the key issues, and the outcome.

For the second part of your initial post, evaluate one of the following starter bullet points, using research on course concepts to inform your analysis:

• Negotiators tend to have consistent styles. How would you assess your style in the negotiation? How would you assess the style of the other party? How might your style have been different had you been negotiating the same issue with a different person?
  
  
   
• Was your negotiation an example of distributive negotiation or integrative negotiation? Was each party engaged in the negotiation using the same approach? What behaviors existed that      demonstrated the approach? What advantages or disadvantages might have emerged if a different approach (distributive versus integrative) had been used?
  
  
   
• What other outcome alternatives might have been possible, and how might they have influenced the actual outcome? How did the parties determine what other alternatives exist? How did the parties determine which alternative to use?
  
  
   
• How might each party assess the outcome of the negotiation? Does each party view it as successful? What is the basis for evaluating how parties view the outcome? What did each party do to achieve success in the negotiation?
  
  
   
• Negotiations have a reputation for being secretive actions with overtones of espionage, mistrust, and strategizing. What are the positives and negatives of sharing your strategies or your desired point of settlement with the other person in a negotiation? How did the level of secrecy or sharing impact the negotiation process and outcome in your example? What behaviors demonstrated the level of secrecy and sharing that existed?
  
  
   
• The desired outcome in a negotiation is to achieve the goal you want. What can opposing parties in a negotiation do to identify their common points and minimize their differences? Analyze how your negotiation example might have had a better-negotiated outcome if common      points had been enhanced and differences minimized during the negotiation.

Conclude your posting with a summary paragraph that synthesizes one or two key issues or points of your initial post.
 

Submission Details:

· Your initial post should be 1–2 pages (500–1,000 words) long. Cite any sources you use in APA format.

In this course, you will engage with a comprehensive examination of strategic planning, starting with this assignment and continuing through Weeks 4, 5, and 6.

Assignment Preparation

Select a company that has a SWOT analysis report in the University Library by using the Find or Create a SWOT Analysis page. This company will be the subject of your analyses and presentations throughout the entirety of the project. 

Note: It’s crucial to use the same company across all related assignments, as continuity is essential for the depth and applicability of your analysis.

The SWOT analysis will be used in later weeks.

Using your selected company, navigate to your company’s website and locate the strategic plan.

Research and analyze the current strategic plan of your chosen company. Focus on what the plan does well and identify areas for improvement. 

Your choice of strategic plan, approved by your instructor, will be crucial for your assignments in Weeks 4 and 5.

• Read Chapters 10 and 16 from your textbook.
• Read the book Medical Error Reduction and Prevention.
• Review the webpage Study Suggests Medical Errors Now Third Leading Cause of Death in the U.S.: Physicians Advocate for Changes in How Deaths Are Reported to Better Reflect Reality.
• Watch the video Introduction to Communication and Optimal Resolution (CANDOR).

Health care administrators and clinical staff struggle to help patients avoid medical errors and harm. According to a news release from Johns Hopkins Medicine, “250,000 deaths per year are due to medical error” (2016, para. 1). Ethical dilemmas occur and are handled using best practices, centered on national benchmarks, for the prevention of harm, the application of medications, alarms, passive restraints, physical restraints, and the reporting of harm events. Yet even with the best of intentions, care plans, and patient education programs, medical errors continue to be an unsolved dilemma.

The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (2016) states the following:

The CANDOR process toolkit provides a framework for hospitals to improve their response to unexpected patient harm events. Implementation of all elements of the framework is designed to enhance a number of short, and long-term improvements. In the short term, hospitals will develop processes to improve the reporting and monitoring of adverse events and promote better care for patients through candid, caring communication in the wake of an adverse event. In the longer term, hospitals will experience fewer medical liability claims, improved patient safety outcomes, and improved patient satisfaction scores by engaging patients and families throughout the CANDOR process. (“Introduction” section)

In this week’s discussion, address the following in a minimum of 500 words:

• Describe common medical errors involving patient assessment, diagnosis, treatment, discharge, and follow-up care.
• Explain how medical errors negatively impact the health care process for patients, caregivers, and health care organizations.
• Summarize the application and steps in the CANDOR process regarding improved communications and optimal resolution and the possible reduction in malpractice lawsuits.
• Summarize the principle of medical ethics and the physician-patient relationship.

The health care delivery system has an ethical responsibility to protect patient information and data as it relates to the process of patient care. Patients are also protected regarding their decisions to divulge personal medical information to additional parties and should always feel confident sharing their medical information with their caregiver as the maintenance and security of that information is protected by law. Pozgar (2023) states, “the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) points out that the patient has the right to confidentiality of his or her clinical records” (p. 1).
