Integrative Learning Project: Organizational Setting Chamisi Pastor Liberty University BUSI650 November 10, 2017 Organizational Setting Mission The mission statement of Hobby Lobby is "Honoring the Lord in all we do by operating the company in a matter consistent with biblical principles" (Hobby Lobby.com, 2017). Hobby Lobby wants to sell their merchandise and help their customers while keeping with the standards of the Bible. Hobby Lobby is mainly an arts and crafts store but also includes hobbies, picture framing, jewelry making, fabrics, floral and wedding supplies, cards and partyware, baskets, wearable art, home accents and holiday merchandise. It is essentially a crafter and artist paradise.

They sell just about anything you can think of that has anything to do with crafting and do it yourself (DIY) projects. Customers Hobby Lobby is often frequented by teachers, artists, parents, and arts and crafts enthusiasts. A lot of the items for sale at Hobby Lobby are not the bare necessities, meaning it really isn’t necessary to shop there. Their stores are very dependent upon customers with disposable income purchasing from their stores. Hobby Lobby’s main shoppers are women of all ages and those who are lower middle class to upper middle class because of their disposable income.

However, there are people with hobbies, crafts and artistic pursuits they enjoy, and its this particular niche that the company wants to supply. (Shearin, 2012). Hobby Lobby has more than 750 stores in forty-seven states, with more than 32,000 people employed with them at the moment. Value Both customers and employees add value to Hobby Lobby. Employees can add value to the company by being knowlegedable about the products beig sold at the store and embracing the mission statement. The customers can add value to the company by continuing to shop at Hobby Lobby and spreading the good word about the company.

Hobby Lobby also pays their employees a high mininimum wage, thus showing they value their employees. Biblical Integration Hobby Lobby was born in 1970, when David and Barbara Green took out a $600 loan to start making miniature picture frames out of their home. Within two years, they were able to open a 300-square-foot store in Oklahoma City (Hobby Lobby.com, 2017). Now the company is worth millions. The founders of Hobby Lobby also have a deep religious Christian faith.

Although recently they did get into a bit of hot water for their exemption from the Obamacare contraception mandate. Paul Horowitz (2014) explains how Hobby Lobby itself turned not on the vagaries of the Religion Clauses, but on the directions laid down by Congress in the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993 The Court is routinely criticized for the incoherence of its Religion Clause jurisprudence.Hobby Lobby is still very staunch about their religious beliefs, and rightfully so.

Explain ways to evaluate screening methodologies and outcome effectiveness. Determine the health promotion needs of a population by interpreting epidemiological data including health disparity data. Course Outcome(s) practiced in this unit: MN505-3: Assess health promotion and illness prevention risk factors in a multicultural context. PC-4.3: Apply concepts of multiculturalism and diversity to become an agent of change. Epidemiology Core Functions There are six core epidemiological functions: surveillance, field investigations, analytical studies, evaluation, linkages, and policy.

Although most healthcare professionals are familiar with the functions of health surveillance, field investigation, and analytic studies, and the investigation of health problems, they may be less aware of the core functions of linkages and policy. Linkages entail collaboration of agencies, organizations, governments and healthcare professionals. Epidemiological work is characterized by interprofessional and interagency collaboration Epidemiologists also play a key role in providing the data to help focus the development of evidence-based health policy at all levels, from developing policies for a single hospital unit to the development of national and international health policy. As a masters or doctoral prepared nurse, you will play an important role in providing linkages and advocating for evidence-based policy changes.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is the organization charged with coordinating epidemiological work in the United States. The mission of the CDC is to protect the health of the nation. The CDC is one of the most important sources of health information and resources for healthcare professionals and consumers and one of the leading causes of health-related statistics. There are a number of statistics used in epidemiology to describe health status, quantify the extent of disease, and estimate the risk for developing disease or injury. It is essential that nurses be able to locate and interpret these statistics because this information is used to plan and evaluate health services and guide health policy.

The most widely used health statistics are morbidity, mortality, and natality statistics. The definitions and uses of these statistics are further examined in this unit. unit 6 class 505
