What are the characteristics of good programs? How can an assessment identify these qualities? Program evaluation is important in making sure that the mission is being achieved in the best possible way. In order to evaluate a program it is important to have identified the characteristics of the program that make it successful. Some of the characteristics that make a program good would be things such as; maintaining the predicted budget, meeting the goals that have been developed based in the mission of the program, and providing the best services possible. As discussed by Cryan and Martinek (2017), staff training and attitude are also vital. The better the staff training and morale of the staff members the more likely it is that the program is achieving their goals. In order to do this assuring that staff members are provided with the best trainings can help to increase morale, along with incentives for achieving these goals. Regarding program evaluation Chyung (2014) stated that, largely influenced by Michael Scriven’s (1991a) definition of evaluation, I define program evaluation as the systematic collection and analysis of information about the process and outcomes of a program in order to make improvements or judgments about the quality or value of the program. Collecting data at the request of the key stakeholders can help to assess and identify the qualities of the program to ensure it has these characteristics. Chyung, S. (. (2015). Foundational Concepts for Conducting Program Evaluations. Performance Improvement Quarterly, 27(4), 77-96. doi:10.1002/piq.21181 Cryan, M., & Martinek, T. (2017). Youth Sport Development Through Soccer: An Evaluation of an After-School Program Using the TPSR Model. Physical Educator, 74(1), 127-149. doi:10.18666/TPE-2017-V74-I1-6901
It is important that a program works effectively to in order to solve the problems it is set out to solve. The program must have a planned actions and procedures in place to function appropriately and to be effective in solving problems. According to Royse, Thyer, and Padgett (2016), staffing, budgets, stable funding, identity, and service philosophy are all important characteristics of a good program. Staffing is important because programs need appropriate staff to fill specific roles, and budget and funding are imperative to continue to run successfully and to keep morale up by providing appropriate pay and resources. Identity is essential when running a program, because the program needs to be recognized by the public, and their service philosophy helps to deliver their message, mission, and goals. Program assessments can be completed to determine any problems in the program, to evaluate the success of a program, or to improve a program. Program evaluations are an important part of ensuring success of a program and they can provide information on if the program is helping the clients, if it is making any significant difference, does the program deserve the amount of funding it is receiving, which procedures work best, if staff is efficient, and determine necessary improvements (Royse, Thyer, & Padgett, 2016).

Responses/Innovative Coaching & What is New for Future Nurses
Order Description 1. Innovative Coaching
Please respond in 100 words Innovative Coaching was one of the concepts discussed in chapter 12. Team leaders have the responsibility to create the conditions for a team and its members to grow. The main purpose of team leadership is to ensure that its team members can thrive (Porter-O’Grady & Malloch, 2011). Porter-O’Grady and Malloch (2011) list several rules to be followed if leaders are to convert work into innovative efforts. Setting a high bar, clarification of who you are, treating transformation as a mission in lieu of a job, exposing staff to different messages and messengers, creating egalitarian organizational structures, putting money into ideas, allowing the talented to experiment, and allowing the sharing of success with others are rules elicited by the authors. Of these I have recently seen a nurse consultant come to a facility and change the flow of the floor to improve patient care. She told me that she her compensation was based on the successful metrics from the changes. This consultant was brought in after the successful change to flow from other facilities. She enlisted the help of all staff. She held numerous workshops and education sessions on what was needed and expected with the changes. She constantly showed the success of these changes from other facilities. She was present when all the changes started and I assume was compensated for her system which is still successful. Reference to use Porter-O’Grady, T., & Malloch, K. (2011). Quantum leadership: Advancing innovation, transforming healthcare. (3rd ed.). Sudbury, MA: Jones & Bartlett Learning. ——————————— 2. What is New for Future Nurses Please respond in 100 words This short reading was an editorial found in a nursing journal which offered an opinion related to the leadership turmoil from unions that represent British nurses. This editorial was thought provoking and left a question to debate. The author questioned if nursing leadership needed to have a background in nursing. She proposed that the leadership for the nursing unions should be filled by the most qualified candidate. I disagree, I feel that nursing leadership must come from nursing. Perhaps the turmoil was caused by ineffective leaders who were not able to recruit followers. Leaders need followers who share a partnership to achieve a shared vision, mission, and future. Followers have a willingness to serve, are assertive and determined, are willing to challenge new ideas, and imaginative. (Grossman & Valiga, 2009). Nurses need to be represented by nurses. Who else would understand the foundation of nursing with the nursing paradigm of person, health, environment, and nursing. Who else understands what knowledge, skills, and attitudes are needed to give professional nursing care. How would a non nurse understand how patient -centered care, team work and collaboration, evidence-based care, quality improvement, safety, and informatics affect patients? In my opinion, it sounds like these British unions lack a transformational leader whose energy can help ignite passion, loyalty, and success through teamwork.

3. Trends in Nursing
Look at your health care organization. What are some of the current trends you see in your organization related to nursing leadership? Are these trends harmful or helpful? How do you think these trends can be used in the future of nursing leadership? Explain. Please respond in 100 words The leadership in my organization is currently receiving on the job training. The nursing leadership does not currently have an orientation phase. They are placed in the position and are assigned a mentor to work alongside of them until they feel confident enough to take flight. These trends are both harmful and helpful because nurses need some sort of an orientation to get a feel for the position. I believe that why we have so many positions open. “Excellent leaders must possess administrative competence, appropriate educational preparation, business skills, broad clinical expertise, and a thorough understanding of leadership principles (Fonville, Killian, and Tranbarger).” The jobs are not usually what the nurse is expecting. This can be helpful because the nurse has a mentor there assisting them along the way. The mentor is there as a guide until the nurse feels comfortable with the position and they are available when the nurse has questions. The nursing leadership also attends weekly meeting giving them the progress of their unit. This is beneficial because the nurse leader is aware of the improvements needed for the unit. It is important for nurse leaders to have support available when needed. “A clinical career ladder provided recognition and financial reward for nurses at the bedside, but nurses interested in developing management skills did not have similar opportunities (Fonville, Killian, and Tranbarger 1998).” Reference to use Fonville, A. M., Killian, F. R., & Tranbarger, R. E. (1998). Developing new nurse leaders. Nursing Economics, 16(2), 83-7. Retrieved from https://search.proquest.com/docview/236967776?accountid=458 ———————————— 4. Leadership Qualities
List at least five personal leadership qualities a nursing leader should possess. How can those qualities help a nursing leadership professional achieve his or her goals? Explain. Please respond in 100 words Five leadership qualities that a nurse leader should possess are communication skills, growth, courage, trustworthiness, and compassion. These qualities will assist the nurse leader in achieving his or her goals. Personal growth is the most important because the nurse will gain self-development. “Leadership is also based on personal growth, which is a guide for increasing ones potential at leadership (Liu 2010, p.19).” Some individuals are natural born leaders and for some require practice. A nurse leader must have excellent communication skills in order to communicate with staff and patients. Communication is the key to building a positive relationship with staff. “Evidence continues to increase that communication breakdowns are responsible for medication errors, unnecessary costs, and inadequate patient care (Maureen 2013, p.101).” The nurse must have courage in his or herself. Courage will give them the ability to face everyday challenges and they can lead by example. Trustworthiness is another quality needed by nurses because the staff has to know that the nurse leader is dependable and reliable. Staff is likely to follow individuals that can be trusted. Trustworthiness is a crucial trait and transformational leaders display integrity, courage, and stability (Satusky 2012, p. 2).” Last but not least, the nurse leader must have compassion. Having compassion as a nurse leader will give the nurse the ability to be sympathetic with patients and staff. Compassion will help the nurse to spoke to co-workers like they would want to be spoken too. Leadership is both an art and a science. Leadership skills begin with understanding one’s self, and there are many tools out there to help you with self-discovery, self-improvement, reflection, and renewal (Satusky 2012, p. 2).” Reference to use Judd, Maureen,M.S.N., R.N.

Please respond in 100 words As I read this chapter I could not help but recall a previous discussion on patient accountability. In my opinion this chapter highlights why I feel healthcare is disjointed and chaotic. The concepts of how independence and accountability of the users of healthcare providers were examined. This chapter talks about how patients need to be responsible for their own health and empowered to act in the right way (Porter-O’Grady & Malloch, 2011). The authors talk about the importance of tracking and empowering patients. Four responsibilities were listed as necessary for changes to occur. Speeding up resources is the period of time that nurses have with patients to make sure that they have access to resources. Orchestrating the dynamics of change is the second responsibility listed. Building relationships is the third responsibility which involves the building of sustainable long term relationships. Organizations need to remain focused on its mission. Finally, putting necessary structures in place to make sure that new behaviors are accompanied by structural support. Due to recent changes in healthcare laws reimbursements are now tied to patient satisfaction surveys. These surveys provide metrics that are important to the patient. I am under the assumption that most nurses have had a least one customer service course to deal with these surveys. In the ED, I cannot tell you how many people are discharged with instructions to follow up and are told that they need to wait for an available appointment ( which can be months). I also see patients who do not follow the discharge instructions follow up with providers. In my environment, the healthcare system does not reward the empowering of patients.

Problem Solving Assessment This assignment can be completed individually or in a group of no more than 2 students. Learning Objectives addressed in this assessment: CO1: Apply basic accounting principles and concepts in order to understand what accounting information is, what it means and how it is used; CO2: Explain the significance of accounting information in the business environment; CO3: Read and interpret financial reports and apply knowledge to critically analyse corporate financial and non-financial information. Graduate Qualities developed by this assessment: GQ1: You need to operate effectively upon fundamental accounting practical knowledge; GQ2: You are prepared for lifelong learning and professional practice; GQ3: You are working to be an effective business related problem solver; GQ4 (partial): You can work autonomously and independently; GQ5 (partial): You are committed to ethical action & social responsibility for business activities. GQ6 (partial): You can communicate effectively in written language. Assignment context: You have recently joined Business Smart, a financial and business consultation firm. Your manager Mr. James Brown will take family leave for four weeks. He has asked you to prepare a consultation report for an important client, BEST Resources Ltd, before he returns on October 28, 2016. BEST Resources Ltd is a mining and metallurgical company based in South Australia. Its main products cover zinc, lead, copper, gold and other nonferrous metals. The company experienced the fastest growth during the recent mining boom but is struggling with slumping overseas demands in these two years. The main reason for this consultation for BEST Resources Ltd is the concern about the unsatisfactory quality of transaction recording and reporting addressed by the Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand (CAANZ). In early June 2016, CAANZ Adelaide Branch completed a survey of financial reporting by BEST Resources Ltd and found that the company’s accounting records were incomplete and the recognition of revenues and expenses was not consistent with accrual accounting. The Managing Director of BEST Resources Ltd, Mr. Peter Cham, was unhappy about these results and asked Business Smart to review the accounting records up to the end of May 2016 and report any inappropriate transaction recording. Based on this review, financial statements for the 2015-16 financial year can be accurately prepared and any issue regarding business performance can be identified. In addition, the company has been under public scrutiny recently because of its high environmental pollution and energy consumption. As a response, Peter is thinking about reporting on BEST Resources’ environmental challenges and corporate strategy on environmental protection. However, several board members are concerned about the risk associated with such reporting. Given that the company may anticipate a couple of lean years ahead because of the economic downturn and end of the mining boom, they argue that the company should focus on the main business areas and regaining profit. The issue is pending. You are given the following account information from the balance sheet at May 31, 2016. Accounts Cash and cash equivalents $3,575,000 + your date of birth (ddmm)1 Accounts Receivable2 $28,740,000 Inventories $9,977,000 Prepayments $15,388,000 Property, Plant and Equipment3 $754,316,000 Accounts Payable4 $45,875,000 + last 4 digits of your student ID number5 Bank Loan $278,099,000 Share Capital ? Retained Profit $19,646,000 Also, the following information from the income statement stated from July 1, 2015 to May 31, 2016 is provided. Accounts Total revenue $195,830,000 Net profit6 $18,165,000 Gross profit $150,366,000 Notes to the above information: 1 For example, if your date of birth (DOB) is June 5, this figure should be $3,575,506; if your DOB is November 29, this should be $3,577,911. If you are doing the assignment in a group, use either your or your fellow student’s DOB. 2 Trade and other receivables are all included in Accounts Receivable. 3 Property, Plant and Equipment (PPE) is a net amount. The original cost of PPE is $1,120,380,500 and accumulated depreciation is $366,064,500. 4 Trade and other payables such as expenses payable are all included in Accounts Payable. 5 For example, if your student ID number is 110101234, this figure should be $45,876,234. If the last digit of your student number is a letter, then the 4 digits before the letter should be used. For example, if your student ID is 00034321N, Accounts Receivable should be $45,879,321. If you are doing the assignment in a group, use either your or your fellow student’s ID number. 6 This net profit has been included in retained profit on the balance sheet of May 31, 2016. Assume during June 2016, BEST Resources made the following aggregated transactions: 1 June Paid salary and wages of $940,550. 1 Purchased new operating equipment at a cost of $2,124,000. Residual value was estimated to be zero and the useful life to be 30 years. Payment would be made in 180 days. 3 Sold inventories for $253,700, payment to be received in 45 days. The cost of these inventories was $183,700. 8 Received an outstanding balance of $296,880 from customers for inventories sold on 25 April 2016. 11 Paid suppliers $332,950 for inventories purchased on 12 May. 16 Recruited a new accountant commencing work on 1 July. 19 Sold inventories for $398,450 and received cash payment of $50,000. The balance would be received in 45 days, which is the company’s normal credit term. The cost of inventories was $308,450. 23 Issued 1 million shares at $2.5 per share and received funds on the day. 27 Paid a television advertisement bill of $12,000. The bill was received on May 28, 2016. 30 Paid monthly interest of $380,780 on bank loan. To take CAANZ’s advice into account, you have paid attention to transaction analysis and records, in particular, the recognition of income and expenses. You want to make sure they are consistent with accrual accounting. In preparing for the analysis, you have collected additional information for the end of year adjustments (BEST Resources uses straight line method for depreciation): (1) Salary was paid on the 1st of each month. So the salary and wages for the month of June 2016 must be accrued. (2) On October 1, 2015, an insurance premium of $806,400 was paid and expensed immediately. It was noted that the insurance policy term was 24 months. (3) The new plant acquired on August 1, 2015 was not depreciated. The total acquisition cost was $11,129,200. The plant was expected to be used for 50 years with an estimated residual value of $737,200. (4) A physical stock count revealed that inventories as at June 30, 2016 were $9,434,050. There seemed to be some inventory loss. (5) The electricity consumption of June 2016 was estimated to be $11,200. (6) It was noted that repayment of $26,350,000 of bank loan would be due in six months and the remainder of bank loan would be due in five years. (7) One of the company’s commercial properties in Adelaide CBD was rented out on July 1, 2015. The lease agreement was signed for 5 years and included annual payments of $80,000 plus a signing-on fee of $100,000 covering the 5-year agreement term. The $180,000 received on July 1 was recorded as rental income. (8) By the end of June, further depreciation of total Property, Plant and Equipment (PPE) stated on the balance sheet of May 31, 2016 was estimated to be $333,000. To better understand the business performance of BEST Resources Ltd, you decide to benchmark its performance against another company with a similar profile in the materials industry and prepare a comparative report. Required: 1. Work out Share Capital in the initial balances provided to you on May 31, 2016; 2. Prepare a worksheet outlining the transactions of BEST Resources Ltd in June 2016. Ignore tax. (Your worksheet should include the balances at the beginning of June and the adjustments according to the additional information collected at the end of June) 3. Prepare a classified balance sheet as at June 30, 2016; 4. What is the net profit of BEST Resources Ltd for the 2015-16 financial year? Comment on its financial performance and financial position in the year. 5. Select a benchmarking company for further analysis. You need to choose a company from a list of Selected ASX Listed Mining Companies provided as a separate file under Assignment on the course website. Assume the company selected represents the industry average and can be used as a benchmarking company. The name of the company selected should begin with the same letter of the alphabet as your name (or your fellow student’s name should you do the assignment in pair), e.g. if your name is Allen Moore, you can use either Aspire Mining Limited or Mintails Limited. If you cannot find an appropriate company to analyse, you may randomly select a company from the list but you need to clearly justify the reason. Then go to the company information database DatAnalysis Premium via the UniSA Library website. Under Company Reports, search the company according to its ASX Code or part of the company name. Go to Financial Data to review the company’s financial statements in 2016 (if a 2016 report is not available, you can use the 2015 report). Based on available data, analyse and compare the financial results of this benchmarking company and BEST Resources Ltd (if no average data is available for some accounts, you may use year-end data to work out ratios. Ignore tax). Your focus should cover the following points: 1) Which company is more profitable and generates healthier returns? 2) How well are the two companies managing their resources? Do you think they are efficient in managing their assets? 3) Can they meet their short term and long term debts? 6. Go to Annual Reports to review the most recent reports (preferably the past three years) of the selected benchmarking company. Are there any additional issues of concern related to this benchmarking company’s financial position and performance? Discuss how these additional issues and evidence disclosed in the annual reports may influence your interpretation and comparative results? 7. Does the benchmarking company produce any report or information about environmental issues such as environmental pollution and energy consumption? Do you think BEST Resources Ltd should follow what the benchmarking company is doing? Do you agree with Peter’s view about reporting on environmental challenges or with board members that the company should focus on business growth and regaining profit because of current financial stress and economic downturn? Explain why. Submission Notes: • Your assignment must be presented in a clear report format, including introduction and conclusion, and with correct grammar, expression and in-text referencing.
