Question

Human Resources

1. You are the Cancer Program Director for a large hospital. The Vice President you report to has just informed you that the Board of Directors has approved the development of a radiation treatment department. The feasibility study listed the employees that will be needed by job title and an estimated total payroll. It did not include further details about staffing. The types of positions include entry level service and support staff, licensed technical and nursing staff, and a supervisor. You have four months, while the facility is remodeled and equipment installed, to hire the staff so they can begin training and open the center five months from now. Your first step will be to consult with the Human Resources staff.  

Show the work plan that you would develop for this assignment. The work plan should be in chronological order and should show for each action step: a brief description of activities, start and end dates, parties’ involved, and responsible party. For example: “recruit nursing candidates by June 30” would not be adequate; a good answer would indicate where, how, and by whom. Hint: there are several steps that come before this one!
