You work for a small health care facility with three doctors, an administrator, one nurse and four office staff members. The facility has been considering an intranet for the past year. You have been asked to create a list of functions that could be included in the intranet. The only guidance that has been given to you is that the intranet should be useful to office staff, management, and the clinical staff. Include in your discussion a memo to the administrator of the facility: In your memo:

  • Create a list of functions the intranet would provide.
  • Distinguish between the functions of the Internet and an intranet.
  • Summarize key privacy, security, and interoperability issues related to the intranet that must be addressed prior to implementation.

The World Health Organization helps countries to implement the WHO FCTC for tobacco control. in 2008, WHO developed MPOWER– six tobacco control measures of proven cost-effectiveness and ability to save lives. If implemented as a package, these measures protect against the illness and death that the tobacco epidemic will otherwise inevitably bring. 
• Monitor tobacco use and prevention policies
• Protect people from tobacco smoke
• Offer help to quit tobacco use
• Warn about the dangers of tobacco
• Enforce bans on tobacco advertising, promotion and sponsorship
• Raise taxes on tobacco

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Find Fiji’s country’s profile on the Global Tobacco Report 2021 (look in the Annex for country data) 

2. Take a screen shot of the Summary of MPOWER Measures (table with different colors of blue and grey) for your country and paste onto a word doc.  

3. Then, using the Tobacco Atlas (look under your country) look up data on the following indicators from the Fact Sheet: Tobacco Atlas (Links to an external site.)https://tobaccoatlas.org/

  • daily smoking prevalence overall
  • daily smoking prevalence for men
  • daily smoking prevalence for women
  • 2 other interesting facts from the report (such as deaths, use of smokeless tobacco, use among children, etc.)

4. Along with the data above, post here a one-paragraph (10-15 sentences) analysis of the MPOWER policies that are implemented in your country (for example, where it is doing well and which policies are lagging behind).

  Your organization has decided to engage in strategic planning in order to improve some of the processes 

Instructions

In this case study, you serve as the executive director for a local nonprofit organization in your city that serves the needs of homeless veterans in the community. Your organization has decided to engage in strategic planning in order to improve some of the processes associated with maintaining relationships built between volunteer workers and the organization. Over the last year, 75% of volunteers were “one-offs,” and everyone would like to see more consistent service from interested parties and people. 

Before developing a strategy to update the communications and outreach processes, it is important to consider the areas below. 

  • There are a large number of ex-homeless veterans who      make up the vast majority of your organization’s consistent volunteer      base. Although they are happy to assist their fellow veterans, there is an      obvious degree of burnout occurring as more events and low, inconsistent      staffing has resulted in almost all of the burden being placed on these      volunteers. As such, there are slight but obvious pressures for quick,      tangible changes to be made in involved areas. 
  • Your organization’s advisory board shares some of the      same priorities as your volunteer group; however, two of the board members      are close with state representatives, and there is pending legislation      that will require special training (two 3-hour seminars on separate      weekends) for those looking to volunteer with certain specified      populations (veterans being one of the probable populations). Because of      this, the advisory board is already pushing for all volunteers, existing      and prospective, to register for the seminars. 

In a minimum of two pages, discuss the areas below: 

  • the pros and cons of attempting to make a “big splash”      to appease your organization’s stakeholders in the establishment of new      policy, 
  • how the preferences of the advisory board would likely      impact your strategy development process, and 
  • how the stakeholder interests and advisory board      priorities differ and how these differences could be resolved or      compromised. 

You only need to use your textbook as a resource, but please be sure to properly cite any work/content that you use that is derived from other works.
