What Is Pine Rest Model
The board structure that I think that Pine Rest models is policy governance. The first reason I think this is the model that the agency follows because in each interview following the mission and vision of the agency was emphasized. For instance, the agency serves those who are mentally ill therefore, they try to live up to the standards of their mission by providing behavioral health services. The agency does this through having a diverse staff with different backgrounds in the health field. The second reason is that the board monitors and evaluates the CEO's performance according to its policies. For instance, when we interviewed the CEO, he explained that he works for the board to carry out tasks to serve the population. The last reason
is the board engages in systems activities by scanning the environment, becoming familiar with “big picture” issues as well as major internal trends and entering into partnerships with other stakeholders. For example, the board engages in community activities such as fundraisers to stay connected to the community. The agency also has changed over the years such as engaging in research to become familiar with the major issues in the environment.
From the reading titled, "Effective Human Resource Practices"; please describe what you learned about the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Legislation Protecting the Disabled and one more law that you find interesting.
What I learned about the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is that under title VII all organizations with fifteen or more employees are required to adhere to nondiscriminatory practices in all aspects of their treatment of employees. I did not know that there had to be a certain number of employees required for the Act to be enforced. In addition, what I learned is that all organizations that receive substantial funds must comply. What I learned about the Legislation Protecting the Disabled is that active drug use is not a disability. I found it to be interesting that this was included under ADA because I think this should be self-explanatory. The last Act that found to be interesting was the Patriot Act of 2001 broadens government ability to review employment records and monitor financial flows.
