Joining Professional Organizations
The significance of professional organizations as far as career growth and professional development are concerned cannot be overemphasized. One of the important benefits of joining a professional organization is that it enhances one's professional network. For anyone aspiring to climb the career ladder, building professional relationships is crucial. Joining a professional association enables one to connect with their peers, particularly during events held over the course of the year as well as discussion boards and chat groups. Connecting with peers facilitates the sharing of ideas, keeping up with… Continue Reading...
Committee on Assuring the Health of the Public in the 21st Century, 2005). Professional organizations like the American Medical Association and the American Dental Association are also dedicated to the provision of knowledge-based healthcare services under their practice rubrics.
Each organization that mandates knowledge-based healthcare delivery influences healthcare, mainly by changing the nature of service and the relationship between stakeholders. For example, local, state, and federal organizations have used knowledge-based healthcare models to shift towards a patient-centered system, a “customer-company relationship,” and team-based healthcare delivery (p. 111). Knowledge-based healthcare is also directly dependent on information technology, which has radically changed the way the… Continue Reading...

confidence by dedicating their skill all equally, and to the best of their ability. A number of professional organizations supporting doctors in ensuring public safety exist, two of which are the ANA (American Nurses Association) and the AMA (American Medical Association). In this paper, the two aforementioned organizations' standards and functions will be analyzed.
A clear identification of the professional boards
The ANA represents its 3.6-million-strong registered nurse (RN) workforce's interests. Its goal is attempting to advance the profession of nursing through the promotion of superior practice standards (American Nurses Association, 2016). Meanwhile, the AMA represents a professional organization chiefly engaged in publishing studies geared at advancing… Continue Reading...
specialists in the field, talking to coworkers, attending seminars and conferences, and visiting professional organizations. The review of literature must be comprehensive so as to facilitate the identification of gaps in the literature that may facilitate in the framing of this research. By continued refining of research, my work will become increasingly specialized and focused. Lastly, I will need to provide a summary of the literature to form an inclusive picture of literature on the subject.
There are certainly other major sources as well, which must be looked into before embarking on this research project. Indeed, informal discussions with individuals who are already… Continue Reading...
Leadership Style and Emotional Intelligence
In today's competitive world, it is the professional organizations that lay the foundation of much of the social structure. Today's corporate and professional offices are considered important venues for an interactive growth sphere. Thus, the aspects of emotional intelligence (E1), leadership style and gender are now surfacing as really important aspects to understand the overall associative quality and nature of these workplace relationships and how these can be advantageous to the companies that pay attention to their quality (Quader, 2011). We now see a rising interest in how leadership can have an influence on emotional intelligence and… Continue Reading...
in a straightforward manner by simply referring to the ethical codes of prevailing professional organizations like the American Counseling Association or the American Psychological Association. Unfortunately, though, many situations are ambiguous. Counselors can consult with trusted colleagues, mentors, and advisors, or even with a legal team when dilemmas prove particularly problematic. To avoid lawsuits, to prevent errors in judgment that might impact one’s license or certification, and particularly to avoid harming clients and other stakeholders, counselors need to be aware of the best ways of resolving common conflicts in their profession.
Confidentiality
One of the most important ethical principles in counseling is confidentiality.… Continue Reading...
the American Society of Civil Engineers, as with other engineering professional organizations, reads: "Engineers shall hold paramount the safety, health and welfare of the public in the performance of their professional duties," (American Society of Civil Engineers," n.d.). In fact, engineers may frequently feature in public policy and regulations standards to improve the safety of design and infrastructure. As new technologies, materials, and methods emerge on the marketplace, engineering ethics will advance and become more relevant. Engineers are called upon to determine the safety of the products they design, or the product designs they oversee. A product can never be… Continue Reading...
about upcoming legislative changes and gaining a thorough understanding of what they would mean. Another way to do this is through joining professional organizations that keep their members up-to-date on upcoming policy changes.
Developing leadership in this area involves staying abreast of the changes and taking action to make certain that the voice of the nurse, who is in continual contact with real-world patients, has a voice in these discussions. Participating in committees, boards, and task forces on many different levels of the system is another way to help affect policy in a way that will advocate for improved patient outcomes. The nurse leader can serve as the voice of others in… Continue Reading...
professional development in their field. The International Association of Professional Security Consultants (IAPSC, 2018) is one of the top international professional organizations and governing bodies that ensures the integrity of contract security worldwide, along with the International Security Management Association (ISMA, 2018). When organizations in the public or private sector consider using contract security, they can go through appropriate safeguarding channels.
Contract security companies also enter into complex legal agreements with the clients they serve. Many municipalities are turning towards contract security, which is far more common than many people in the general public realize, often replacing or at least operating contiguously with public law enforcement. For example, the City… Continue Reading...
level. For example, I am a member of several different professional organizations, am a team leader in a healthcare institution as well as in class, and am also a member of an extended group of healthcare workers and patient advocates in the community. In my personal life, I am also a member of various tribes including those that intersect with ethnicity, socioeconomic class, and religion. My goal is to focus more on the visions, values, and principles that can bring together disparate people from various walks of life and interest groups. I am a tribal leader now, but know that… Continue Reading...
Likewise, this point is also made by Kalb and O’Connor-Von (2015) who note, “Standards from other professional organizations stress the use of evidence in nursing and health care. These include the ANA's Nursing: Scope and Standards of Practice; Quality and Safety Education for Nurses from the QSEN Institute; and the Core Competencies for Interprofessional Collaborative Practice” (p. 213).
With respect to the scope of practice, nurse administrators serve in a variety of capacities in health care settings, including most especially management, education and administration. As a result, although nurse administrators are completely training and educated in patient care, they typically are not directly involved in this… Continue Reading...
professional organizations which argue that lower reimbursement rates combined with the newly implemented 90-day waiting period required for payments means they will simply be unable make enough money to remain in their medical practices (Crocker & Kahla, 2016). The president of the American Medical Association (AMA), Dr. Ardis Dee Hoven, also weighed in on this issue and stated that the 90-day waiting period “puts the physician and their patients in a very difficult situation” (as cited in Crocker & Kahla, 2015, p. 60). In other words, the 90-day waiting period… Continue Reading...
individuals without resources to finance their election or reelection bids (p. 2). These individuals turn to wealthy people, corporations, as well as business and professional organizations to finance their political campaigns. Indeed, lobbying activities on the part of firms, business organizations, and professional associations have increased rapidly in the last few decades, actually even overtaking the growth of public interest groups and other mechanisms of organized representation such as labor unions. The implication is that elected officials ultimately listen to the voice of their funders and sponsors, not necessarily their constituents. This is to say that increased economic inequality has reinforced enduring disparities in political representation and influence in modern America.
Does this mean… Continue Reading...
