ÿFor the final project, you will analyze Emerging Pharmaceuticals in order to evaluate and revise the company?s current total rewards system. You will utilize information presented in the case study to compare and contrast the organization?s total reward system with external benchmarking data. You will also analyze the data for gaps and make revisions to the existing compensation and benefits package. The information you are provided with will be based on a specific aspect of a benefits and compensation package (retirement benefits, medical benefits, and so on). You must also create a presentation to stakeholders that explains the proposed changes, your rationale behind the changes, and the implications of the changes for the organization.ÿ
For Milestone Two, you will prepare a draft of Parts D?F of your total rewards analysis (Section I of the final project). The submission will have the major heading ?Total Rewards Analysis: Parts D?F.? Your instructor will grade your submission using the rubric below and will provide feedback you can apply to your final project.ÿ
Begin by analyzing qualitative and quantitative data for the current system (as identified in the case study and the provided supplements) that will inform your future recommendations and revisions. Once your analysis has been completed, compare and contrast the provided quantitative data regarding the current benefits and compensation system with external benchmarking data from Medtronic, an organization within the same industry. Then draft Parts D?F of your analysis. Thoroughly cover each of the critical elements and include your answers to the guiding questions.ÿ
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:ÿ
I. Total Rewards Analysis: For this part of the assessment, you will analyze given aspects of a total rewards package from the provided case study. You will analyze qualitative and quantitative data regarding the current system and determine gaps in that system that will inform your future recommendations and revisions.ÿ
D. Determine areas of misalignment, differences, and gaps present in the current benefits and compensation system, based on the external benchmarking data. What are the key areas of the current system that are misaligned with the competition?ÿ
E. Based on the strengths and weaknesses of each plan, determine Emerging Pharmaceuticals rewards components that should be increased, reduced, or stay the same, and provide your rationale.ÿ
F. Compare qualitative input data and quantitative analysis with the organization?s employee demographic data to determine the degree of the existing population that will be affected by the proposed changes. In other words, what is the overall impact of each proposed change?ÿ
Rubric Guidelines for Submission: This milestone should be 3 to 4 pages in length (in addition to a cover page and references) and should be submitted as a Microsoft Word document with double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, and one-inch margins. Use at least three sources, which should be cited according to APA styleÿ

reply to the following discussions:DQ 1 (1 below)Alicia,Understanding the health care system at the local level is important when it comes to helping patients to provide them with the best effective care to improve overall patient outcome. Multihospital healthcare system leaders and individual nurses are challenged to integrate standardized evidence-based practices that support continuous performance improvement in their systems. Locally, transformational nurse leaders within each hospital can share the vision for implementing EBP; at the system level, transformational nurse leaders can collectively allocate resources to create a system-wide online EBP education plan with EBP competencies and tool kit to increase RN exposure to EBP and standardize practice (Warren et al., 2016). Using evidence based practice to take care of our patients is within the best standard and being able to connect and incorporate patients? cultural beliefs or values help them understand their care better. They may feel motivated to be more cooperative and want to be proactive in their plan of treatment.After speaking with my mentor about preventing catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) and the different ways to manage patients with indwelling catheters, we both agree that the staff member taking care of the patient must use aseptic techniques and be aware of preventing any infection. Close monitoring and constant communication with the physician to remove the catheter when the patient no longer needs one is very important because physicians may sometimes forget that a patient has one or forget to put in the discontinuation order. Patients need to be educated as well on speaking up about their plan of care and notifying their nurse or physician about any new signs and symptoms of infection. Many facilities do not have a nurse driven protocol where nurses have the autonomy to remove the catheter however this protocol can increase staff?s awareness of indwelling catheters and allow for independent nursing clinical decision making and judgment. DQ 2 (3 below)Diana,One change theory is Lewin’s 3 stage change model that includes, unfreezing, moving and refreezing. Saying that unfreezing is when you recognize change is needed, moving is when a change occurs, refreezing is when equilibrium is established, and you’re satisfied with the results. The cycle may eventually repeat itself.Another theory is the Lippets seven phase theory. Starting with phase one diagnosing the problem, assess motivation and capacity for change, evaluate change agent’s motivation and resources, choose the appropriate role of the change agent, maintain difference, terminate the helping relationship.Lippet’s seven-phase theory may be more comparable to the nursing process, there’s not a significant difference between them, but with Lewin’s there are three fundamental steps. Quite often nursing is much more complicated than three levels. Looking back through situations as a critical care nurse, some conditions not so involved, but most were complex on multiple levels. These patients are in critical condition therefor so are the problems that need addressing. Three steps seem like it would be easy just to get stuck in the Moving phase.My mentor has tried hard to instill change on the site, but it’s challenging if you’re middle management. You have to have a committee to make the difference. Quite often you have to be the tough guy and hold people accountable for their actions. Holding co-workers responsible for their actions is difficult when your peers take it personally and don’t respond as trained professionals.Margot,There are several different “change theories” in nursing and “The Change Theory of Nursing” is credited to Kurt Lewin, known as the father of social psychology. He described a three-stage model of behavior change that is “dynamic balance of forces working in an opposite direction”. These are the following 3 stages: unfreezing, change, and refreezing. Unfreezing requires finding a way of making it possible to help people recognize an unproductive pattern of behavior and stop it. It requires overcoming individual resistance and group conformity. Change, aka “moving to a new level”, requires a change in either thoughts, feelings, behaviors, or all three. Refreezing involves the “change” as the new “habit” and becomes ingrained so the individual doesn’t revert back to previous habits. Another change theory is from Rogers which is a five-step theory. It is called the Innovation Diffusion theory which desribes how “an individual proceeds from having a knowledge of innovation to confirming or rejecting the decision to adapt or reject the idea.” One interesting component of this second theory is that even if the “change agent” is initially unsuccessful in implementing the desired EBP, it can be tried later at a more appropriate time or in a modified form. This theory also acknowledges the importance of including key “players” such as policy makers, recognizing group strengths, and mitigating factors that impede the overall process. Both of these theories are similar in that both acknowledge that behavior change is complex and multi-dimensional and involves many “social” dynamics as we are basically socially-oriented individuals. The theory from Rogers seems to be a more comprehensive theory, in my opinion. My mentor has not specifically used either of these theories intentionally, but overall has used elements and strategies from both in her clinical practice. For my EBP of skin-to-skin contact (SSC) to promote breastfeeding and newborn/family bonding, I believe Roger’s theory would be most applicable. It allows for the education of patients about the SSC intervention which is ideally used to facilitate breastfeeding. It acknowledges patient preference to decline the intervention even after the education is given. Even if a particular parent rejects the intervention, the overall potential impact on other newborns and their families is considerable. It recognizes the “group strength” of motivated individuals, both nurses and patients, in the maternity setting to improve the health outcomes of newborns and their families.Chiamaka,Kurt Lewin (1951) introduced the three-step change model and this change theory is widely used in nursing and involves three stages: the unfreezing stage, moving stage and refreezing stage. Lewin’s theory depends on the presence of driving and resistant forces. The driving forces are the change agents who push employees in the direction of change. The resistant forces are employees or nurses who do not want the proposed change. For this theory to be successful, the driving force must dominate the resistant force.Another theory is the Everette Rogers five-stage theory. Everette Rogers modified Lewin’s change theory and created a five-stage theory of his own. The five stages are awareness, interest, evaluation, implementation and adoption. This theory is applied to long-term change projects. It is successful when nurses who ignored the proposed change earlier adopt it because of what they hear from nurses who adopted it initially.My mentor used the Lewin theory in implementing the bar-coded Medication administration. Bar-coded medication administration is one type of technology that uses a scanning device to compare bar codes on patient identification bands with bar codes on prescribed medications, electronically verifying the medications against the medication records, thereby reducing medication errors significantly. My mentor choose Lewin?s theory because it can lead to a better understanding of how change affects the organization, identify barriers for successful implementation and is useful for identifying opposing forces that act on human behavior during change, and with the result of overcoming resistance and leading to acceptance of new technologies by nurses.
