You have been asked to complete a stakeholder analysis as it relates to informing stakeholders about the process of how you came to your recommendations you previously made regarding the EHR or HIM system at Independence Medical Center. Another aspect of the analysis is to summarize the impact of your recommendations on stakeholder groups and develop strategies for overcoming barriers related to implementing your recommendations.
Instructions

You will want to refer to the recommendations you made in the first assessment as well as any feedback that you received from your instructor.
For the deliverable, you will write a 3-5-page executive summary detailing your previous recommendations and your timeline for them. Additionally, you will analyze how your recommendations impact considerations such as resource allocation, training, and workflow changes as well as best practices for overcoming implementation barriers. Finally, you will complete the Stakeholder Matrix Template linked in the Resources, aligning critical success factors with the primary internal and external stakeholders.

Assignment 2: Management and Employee Satisfaction

Preparation

Use the Capella University Library and professional or academic resources on the Internet to research tactics and strategies for addressing low employee satisfaction.

Scenario

Pretend you are a human resource manager in a health care organization and it has come to your attention from a variety of sources that morale and employee satisfaction are on the decline in one of your company's organizational units. Employees have been working 50% longer shifts for several months to address an increase in patient demand and you suspect it is beginning to take its toll. You are considering the issue and how to address it.

Deliverable

Part 1: Suggest and support three ways you would determine the nature and extent of the problem and its source. What indicators would you examine?
