150 word response to the discussion question answer below in apa format with in-text citations and references: Many companies are responding to changing economic realities and global competition by reassessing organizational management and processes—including control mechanisms; two major trends are international quality standards and increased corporate Governance (Daft, 2013).  The trends in health care are all about change and keeping up with the changing times. If you cannot keep up with change and produce quality care your organization will not survive in the ever-changing healthcare arena.The organizational control in healthcare is quality and access to care. Within organizations there are teams responsible for quality and quality measures. Quality partnering involves assigning dedicated personnel within a particular functional area of the business to identify opportunities for improvement throughout the work process (Daft, 2013). With quality partnering in healthcare comes benchmarking. This option for tracking quality, benchmarking, is the continuous process of measuring products, services, and practices against major competitors or industry leaders (Daft, 2013).Our hospital uses HCAHPS (Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems) for quality tracking. Hospital systems receive their reimbursement according to their HCAHPS scores. Three broad goals have shaped HCAHPS. The standardized survey and implementation protocol produces data that allow objective and meaningful comparisons of hospitals on topics that are important to patients and consumers; public reporting of HCAHPS results creates new incentives for hospitals to improve quality of care; public reporting enhances accountability in health care by increasing transparency of the quality of hospital care provided in return for the public investment (AHRQ, 2015). The scores are published to all managers monthly for the month or two prior and are shared with staff to discuss success and improvements needed.One bad comment on an HCHAP survey can haunt an organization, despite all the good quality care they gave the rest of the time. Our organization takes complaints and breach of quality very seriously. They follow HCHAP scores closely and have made improvements based on those scores since quality measures were put into effect. When the hospital system first started quality measures there was much resistance. Once people realized that the quality measures improved care they were more accepting. One of the best examples was with the SCIP (Surgical Care Improvement Project) core measure. When patient’s urinary catheters were being removed 24 to 48 hours after surgery and the post-operative urinary tract infection rate decreased dramatically, people came to realize the benefits. From the perspective of a general manager in your field, which of the organizational control methods do you think would be the most universal? What does organizational control look like in your sphere of influence? 

The ability to utilize and sort arrays is a critical skill in any programming language. This week’s lesson will use arrays to store information. An algorithm rearranges the data from smallest to largest values.Create an (double) array to store the scores below. Then create a sorting class using one of the above methods. Create a client class to call the sorting Class. Pass the array of scores to the Sorting class. Sort the array from smallest to largest and printout the sorted array.

Assignment 3: Comparison of Ethical ModelsPart 1Decisions regarding the approach for solving ethical dilemmas are influenced by many factors, including personal beliefs, social norms, and regulatory guidelines. However, human services professionals do not contemplate a particular model that guides their decisions or do not necessarily have insight into the factors that guide their decisions, when faced with ethical challenges.In this assignment, you will analyze four different models of ethical decision making to understand how these models influence professionals, clients, society, and the overall field of human services. You will also see how these models might fit into your personal approach while making decisions regarding human services clients.Tasks:Using the Internet, the Argosy University online library resources, and professional literature, research and prepare a 3- to 4-page paper to compare the four models. Professional literature may include the Argosy University online library resources, relevant textbooks, peer-reviewed journal articles, and websites created by professional organizations, agencies, or institutions (.edu, .org, or .gov).The paper should include the following:In addition, complete a detailed analysis for the deontological and utilitarian ethical orientations. Address the main philosophical differences between the two, considering the factors that influence ethical decisions. Which approach would be most beneficial to your clients? Discuss the rationale for the approach you select.Part 2A human services administrator is responsible for overseeing professionals belonging to diverse disciplines who work together in one agency. While the established ethics code for human services workers addresses many of the same standards that are familiar to most helping professionals, each discipline has a few ethics standards that are specific to its respective functions. For example, both psychologists and social workers protect the confidentiality of clients, are expected to be aware of their scope of practice, and have to obtain informed consent from clients before they can provide services; however, there are certain differences in other areas in their respective ethics codes. As an administrator, it is important to be familiar with such similarities as well as differences to ensure that each type of professional is managed within the specific parameters of his or her respective ethics code.In this assignment, you will compare and contrast standards from the ethics codes of two human services disciplines and compare these with standards from the ethical codes for human services professionals in general.Tasks:Select two disciplines (for example, psychology, social work, counseling, or addictions counseling) for comparison with the ethics code of human services. Research and address the following points regarding the ethics codes of both disciplines as compared to those of human services in a 3- to 4-page paper:How personal values might conflict with or support one ethical standard (e.g., informed consent, privacy and confidentiality, dual relationships, and competence) in the work of the human services professionals?Use the Internet, the Argosy University online library resources, and professional literature to conduct your research. Professional literature may include the Argosy University online library resources, relevant textbooks, peer-reviewed journal articles, and websites created by professional organizations, agencies, or institutions (.edu, .org, or .gov).

It is now time to reflect on the results from your PAMS assessment. Many times, we see ourselves differently than we may be perceived by others. If we are honest with ourselves, analyzing our own skills and traits can provide valuable information about our leadership potential. Self-analysis can help us identify our strengths and weaknesses, as well as the areas in which we need to improve.Based on your PAMS results, write a summary outlining your strengths and weaknesses. In your summary, include an analysis on your skill competencies and how they may impact your role as an effective, ethical leader. In addition, develop strategies and/or recommendations for improvement as to how you can become a more effective leader and communicator.Support your assignment with at least three scholarly resources.
