Health Care Costs, Absenteeism, and Presenteeism

Quantitative Reasoning, Introduced Level
In this assignment, your quantitative reasoning skills will be assessed at the “introduced” level. The Quantitative Reasoning rubric will be useful for this purpose. Then in HRM520 your quantitative reasoning skills will be further assessed at the “reinforced” level. Finally, in HRM599 your skills will be assessed at the “emphasized” level.
Case Assignment
This assignment requires you to:
1. Complete 3 tables—one each for Health Care Costs, Absenteeism, and Presenteeism.
2. Use relevant data from the 2018 Employer Health Benefits Survey for as many table categories as possible, such as annual health care costs, health insurance premiums, annual cost increases, and so forth. Some of the data needed for the three tables are not included in the survey. For those, you have the discretion to use relevant data from other reliable sources. The article Wellness ROI versus VOI contains additional information.
3. To determine your quantitative reasoning skills, it is important you analyze, synthesize, and report your findings in a 3-page paper (not counting the title page, reference page or appendices). You do not need to complete all categories of the tables, but complete as many as possible. The basic requirement is to compile and plug-in sufficient data within each table necessary to analyze and report your findings.
4. Feel free to use the same data for each table, but you should try to use examples of data that show significant differences when calculated.
5. Follow this link to three calculators at https://www.wellsteps.com/blog/2018/01/10/wellness-roi-employee-wellbeing-programs/.
Watch the videos and use the calculators provided to calculate the possible impact on health care costs, absenteeism, and presenteeism of wellness programs. (Adobe Flash is needed to view the videos.)
Prepare three tables in Word to show the data you choose.

 Imagine you are a member of a newly developed diversity team in your workplace. Your team is considering how individual identity contributes to cultural diversity. Your team leader has asked each member to take time to reflect on the personal identity and the aspects of cultural diversity you represent and how understanding your own traits affect your perspective of cultural diversity. Keep in mind that identity is more than what people “see” when they look at you.

(CLINICIANS-END USERS; PATIENTS AND VENDORS)

Before any health information system can be successfully implemented, there must be a team of experts who understand the vision and mission of both the health care organization and its stakeholders.

All the following items must be addressed in your paper: • Compare and contrast the limitations and opportunities in enterprise-wide data. Defend your technology infrastructure’s ability to support organizational leadership and end-user needs. • Explain the economic impact of your proposed system acqu...
