Privatization. Among the various factors impacting
the Health and Human Services (HHS) programs,
increased costs, such as personnel, equipment, and
facilities, may be leading considerations in a
program managers plans and priorities. After
becoming more familiar with the concept of
privatization, identify the advantages of engaging in
privatization and what is required to actually carry
this out.
The following questions may help direct your
reading:
Who initiates privatization of a HHS service /
program?
What are the typical program information
requirements?

Cost of Health Care. Health Care Reform has, for a
long time, been a hot topic. Costs of Medicare, loss
of jobs, increased costs of doing business, are all
part of the problem/need. Research various kinds of
controversies and issues in the field of human
services, with a focus on the clash of values in
social policies. In a 300 word analysis, focus on the
trade- offs between cutting programs or providing
health care services. Respond to at least two of
your classmates postings.

HHS 497 Week 2 DQ 1 Budget Allocations (Ash

www.hhs497mart.com
Budget Allocations. Help, human services, and care
are provided in many formats. However, to be
considered under the umbrella of health and human
services, the help must be provided by some type
of formal organization. The Federal Government,
the major provider of social welfare benefits,
allocates 90% of the Federal budget for social
programs. There are over 300 programs situated in
eight public health agencies and three human
service agencies. In order to grasp the significance
of the above information you are asked to locate
information that identifies the amount of budget

Dr. Watsons Caring Theory. Within the boundaries
of the health and human services, there are
thousands of employees providing a great variety of
services. The process of dealing with humans in
need is not simplistic. One practitioner, Dr. Jean
Watson, has become a leader in Caring Theory.
After reading the article, A Pragmatic View of Jean
Watsons Caring Theory, you are asked to do the
following:
Summarize the general aspects of Dr. Watsons
Caring Theory.
Formulate a set of values that should be the

HHS 497 Week 3 DQ 1 New Emphasis (Ash)

www.hhs497mart.com
New Emphasis. There has been a shift of emphasis
of the consumers of health and human services
from professionals and care providers to
increasingly include the client system. The
stakeholders have increased through participation
coupled with the increased volume of information
which allows greater exposure to care alternatives.
This means the client system has greater access to
health and service records. Information, instead of
flowing from the top down, is increasingly multidirectional. There are many implications of this
change and the parallel modes of technology.
Client-to-client communication has dramatically
changed. After completing reading/research, you

Information Systems. Inability to improve
information systems will result in inappropriate and
limited use of the critical information important to
health and human services professionals.
Identify at least three of the needed improvements
and discuss the needs specifically in terms of how
the improvement directly impacts the HHS client
base. Post your 300 word discussion and respond to
at least two of your classmates postings.

Motivation Theory (Ash)

www.hhs497mart.com
Hansells Motivation Theory. What makes a theory
useful is the ability of the practitioner to use the
elements of the theory (called premises or
postulates) in practice and research. These
applications can empower the human service
worker by providing added information, insight, and
perspective regardless of the career level. Theoryinto-practice is a forerunner of best practices,
where the evaluation of program and practice
results leads to efficiencies and effectiveness. After
reading Chapter 4 in the text, paying special
attention to Hansells motivation theory, analyze

Seligmans Theory. Many of the theories addressed
in health and human services work are based on
the medical model of deficit health, that is,
focusing on what is wrong with the client. In
contrast, a newcomer to the field of psychology
focuses on the strengths and wellbeing, of the
client. This is called positive psychology, developed
by Dr. M. Seligman. After viewing Martin Seligman:
The new era of positive psychology, synthesize the
key tenants of Dr. Seligmans theory and identify its
potential to impact human services practices. What
are some challenges to applying or integrating Dr.

and providing community services. Start this

values. Then, provide a 300 word appraisal of at
least two ways a service providers values could

Groups in Need. After reading Chapter 2 in your
text (Groups in Need), you cannot help but
appreciate the span of needs and then wonder,
How do we make budget allocation decisions?
and, What happens to the individuals unable to
acquire appropriate help? In many ways,
individuals needing one kind of service can, if the
need is not addressed, have a negative domino
effect on the person. For example, the homeless
person becomes sick, eventually receiving free
emergency medical attention. These forcing
functions are a common phenomenon in HHS.
Burger (2011) states, Meanwhile, human service
