Services on Multinationals Operating in Different Countries in Automation and Performance in Organizations as A New Way of Increasing Profit and Cutting Costs
The thesiss main purpose is to focus shared services on multinationals operating in different countries and take the automation process as a new way of increasing profit and cutting costs. However, on the other hand, the effect of automation on employment will be targeted. The thesis project is focused on papers that detail the above measures. They are combined, and the primary goal of the analysis is to illustrate that technology cannot substitute people. Does the research include the methodology for determining what a study report is? And what are the numerous kinds? Finally, it is shown that automation is efficient for businesses but cannot replace people on the other hand because creativity and the ability to develop new processes can never be at hand. We chose AZADEA for research support. We interviewed the operations manager and HR team semi-structured to show that although the shared service process is being implemented, it is important to keep our staff there

Improving the Mental Health Nursing Competencies of Nurses Caring for Patients with History of Substance Use Disorder in Long-Term Care Settings
Background
While nurses are often on the front lines of working with patients with a history of substance use disorders (SUD), most have limited training in this area. Nurses who work in Long Term Care (LTC) settings are often challenged to resolve the practical issue of needing more competency in caring for SUD patients. Horner et al. (2019) agreed that the deficiency of mental health knowledge and skills in healthcare workers is linked to decreased quality of care, which can diminish patient outcomes. This lack of competency must be addressed (Margoliese & Vandyck, 2019).
Purpose
The goal of this project is to innovate care management that enhances SUD patients’ care through clinical competencies and mental health skills by improving the mental health nursing competency of nurses working with SUD patients at the long-term geriatric units at a Psychiatric Hospital in the state of Massachusetts. A guided four-week mental health training was provided to registered nurses and measured with a pre and post assessment. This intervention was measured to appreciate any change in the participants\u27 level of mental health competency. -- Method. This study used a quasi-experimental design, a pre-post design with one focus group, to evaluate the mental health competency of nurses working with SUD history patients. The Clinical Competency of Mental Health Nursing (CCMHN) checklist was used to ensure the trustworthiness of this project. The tool measured the nurses\u27 mental health competency before and after the educational training. This tool required the project facilitator to observe participants in their tasks at work before and after the intervention. The sample was obtained through the convenience sampling method.
Results
The Clinical Competency Evaluation of Mental Health Nursing (CCHMN) used in this study was found to be valid and reliable. The SPSS-27 t-score showed significant results post-intervention. A paired sample t-test was conducted to compare the pre- and post-intervention observation. The results showed a significant positive correlation between 0.842 and 0.945. The paired t-test further showed that participants experienced increased competency across the four-week program. This indicates that the program was successful in achieving its desired outcome.
Conclusion
Although the sample size was small, data suggested that mental health nursing training was beneficial in increasing the mental health nursing competency among nurses in a LTC facility. Similar investigations could be undertaken with larger sample sizes to generalize the outcomes to wider groups of psychiatric nurses and the nursing profession

Modelling based framework for the management of emergency departments.
In the twenty-first century, the healthcare industry faces ever-changing economic, social, political and technology challenges. Costs are rising, funding is diminishing, human and fiscal resources are becoming scarcer, customer-expectations are rising, the complexity of disease is increasing and technology is becoming more complex. These trends have a massive impact on every aspect of hospital operations and the Emergency Department is no exception. Overcrowding in the Emergency Department (ED) in hospitals has become a growing problem in many developed countries around the world. ED overcrowding has a direct effect on patient-care, including compromised patient-safety, increased length-of-stay, increased mortality and morbidity-rates and increased costs. Healthcare policy-makers and hospital and ED administrators are being forced to search for ways to improve the capacity of EDs by better utilisation of existing resources and creating more efficient systems to overcome this problem.Throughout the past few decades, there has been an increasing trend of using numerous systems-analysis tools and techniques which have come from manufacturing and other service industries to address the various issues in healthcare and EDs. Among those tools Discrete-Event Simulation (DES) is a powerful tool to improve the efficiency and capacity in dynamic and complex systems. Use of these tools to address the overcrowding problem in EDs has been patchy; specific aspects of issues have been studied but no attempt has been made to deploy DES or any other systems-analysis tool in a strategic and holistic manner.The aim of this research is to develop a modelling-based framework to manage the overcrowding problem in EDs. The research identified the causes of overcrowding in EDs and developed a decisions-framework with the long-term, medium-term and short-tem decisions in EDs that related to the overcrowding problem. Finally, it identified the best possible systems-analysis tools to support those decisions to overcome the overcrowding problem in EDs. This research could help the healthcare policy-makers, managers, systems-engineers as well as the researchers and consultants who are interesting in the Emergency Department operational management
