HCM3046 Managing the Healthcare Workforce

Discussion Questions:

Tasks:

• Discuss how a language difference can decrease the likelihood of optimal healthcare outcomes and impact healthcare cost. In your response, include the increased cost resulting from language barriers and the potential risks and concerns associated with using noncertified methods of translation.
• In addition, include one additional point that you have identified in the readings. As a hypothetical member of the healthcare organization’s workforce, you can suggest a policy to address the point.

To support your work, use your course and readings provided and also use the South University Online Library if you elect to perform additional research to support your position. As in all assignments, cite your sources in your work and provide references for the citations in APA format.

Your initial posting should be addressed in 200–350 words. Submit your document to this Discussion Area by the due date assigned. Be sure to cite your sources using APA format.

Respond to your classmates throughout the week. Justify your answers with examples, research, and reasoning. Follow-up posts need to be submitted by the end of the week.
