Response to Discussion2

Below is a discussion post written by my colleague. Please respond to this post using a minimum of 250 words. Use peer reviewed resources. Do not give opinions, but state facts. The goal here is to expand and enhance the discussion with additional ideas and references.

I chose to analyze a rather interesting case study entitled “Improving Price Transparency for Consumer Health Care Services.” Price transparency in healthcare is a hotly debated and controversial topic that was brought to the forefront in the 2020 Presidential election. House, Hunt, & Umeh (2020) note that the health care industry is unique in that consumers are not immediately aware of the expected costs for the health care services they seek (p. 128). This is a significant problem that can lead to predatory billing practices, price gouging, and patients receiving exorbitant medical bills that they truly do not understand. Politicians have attempted to remedy this issue through legislation, first in the Affordable Care Act and then more recently through the passing of Executive Order 13877 which President Trump signed into law in 2019. Section 1 of the executive order reads “to make fully informed decisions about their healthcare, patients must know the price and quality of a good or service in advance (Woolley et al, 2020, para. 1).

This is an issue that is truly unique to the healthcare industry, as there is no other profession in which the customer is completely unaware of the cost of a service that is being provided to them. Imagine going into a restaurant, opening the menu, and finding that there are no prices listed for the food items. Furthermore, it is also the only profession (that I can think of) in which prices vary with such significance from one location to another for the same service.

This is where price transparency in healthcare becomes an ethical issue, as those within the medical profession are very much aware of the significant price discrepancies from one hospital to another. And while those within medicine are not public servants per se, patients come to them at their weakest moments and place all their trust in physicians. They have an obligation (perhaps even a Hippocratic Oath) to not take advantage of their patients. According to Shafritz & Hyde (2017), public service is a concept, an attitude, a sense of duty—yes, even a sense of public morality (p. 492).

Furthermore, those within healthcare are also fully aware that the average citizen will have difficulty navigating what has become a very complex healthcare system. A typical patient is only aware that he/she is responsible for their co-payment and deductible. They have no intimate knowledge of the costs associated with the medical service that they require or what expenses are covered by their medical provider. House, Hunt, & Umeh (2020) state that it can be difficult to have a complete understanding of the full cost of these services—especially for serious illnesses and more complex conditions (p. 128). Implementing price transparency aims to remedy this by allowing patients to act more like consumers, they are provided the opportunity to “shop around” and compare medical services from hospital to hospital. “Providing a standardized set of price information in a user-friendly format could help to ensure consistency and increase the likelihood that consumers will understand the information provided” (House et al, 2020, p. 127).

Much in the same manner that President Bush called for a renewed interest in public service in the late 1980’s in order to increase public trust in the government, doctors today like Dr. Marty Makary view price transparency as a way of mending a diminishing patient-client relationship. He states that the US healthcare system needs to “reduce overprescribing, increase price transparency, make medical billing practices fairer, and recapture the public’s trust in the health care system” (Mattina, 2020, para. 1).

In bringing these issues to light (Makary has written two books on the need for price transparency in healthcare), Dr. Makary is very much acting in the spirit of classical statesmanship. In doing so, “he is not advocating any particular political policy, institution, or even ideology. His goal is to shape the overarching character and way of life of his fellow citizens” (Baldwin, 2012, p. 74). Those within healthcare are resistant to change and doctors such as Makary face harsh criticism from their colleagues. Throughout both his books (The Price We Pay/Unaccountable), Dr. Makary references the ethical obligation he has as a doctor to do what is right by his patients. Ruderman (2012) states that the deepest morality may have to enter contentious waters and steel itself to widespread public opprobrium (p. 89).

It is imperative that those within healthcare embrace the implementation of price transparency due to the unique relationship they share with their patients. People come to them at their most vulnerable times and place every ounce of trust that they have in medical professionals believing in their expertise. Healthcare is like no other profession in that way. Price transparency can be used as a method to increase the publics trust in the profession while at the same time re-personalizing healthcare.

In Matthew 10:8 Jesus directed his twelve apostles to “Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you have received; freely give” (Holy Bible, NIV, 2011). Leaders within healthcare need to take a transformational leadership approach, which according to Fischer (2010) entails encouraging followers to look beyond their own self-interest and focus on the transcendent, meaningful goals of the organization (p. 48).

Brief Case Study on a female Juvenile arrested for theft.

Instructions (also attached): The paper must be submitted as a one-page Microsoft Word document with double spacing, 12‐point Times New Roman font, one‐inch margins, and at least three sources cited in APA format.

Case: Jack and Diane are each 13 years old and are best friends. On September 12, 2012, Jack asked Diane to meet him at Moe’s Convenience Store. While in the store,

Jack steals three packs of gum and a candy bar. Jack hands Diane two boxes of candy to place in her purse. Diane places the candy in her purse. The store owner,

Moe, notices Diane place items in her purse. As Jack and Diane exit the store, Moe calls their names and runs after them. Jack pushes Moe to the ground and exits with Diane.

Moe calls the police and reports the theft. The police apprehend Jack and Diane a few blocks away from the store. The police only retrieve the boxes of candy from Diane but not the packs of gum or the candy bar taken by Jack. The police escort Jack and Diane to the police station where they question them for two hours regarding the theft. Diane confesses her and Jack’s role in the theft. Jack denies any wrongdoing. The police charge Jack and Diane with theft and also charge Jack with simple assault. Their hearings are within the state‐mandated time after they are petitioned to appear in the local juvenile court.

Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:

III. Diane’s Case

a) Were Diane’s due process and constitutional rights violated during the investigation process? Explain your arguments.

b) Were Diane’s due process and constitutional rights violated during the hearing process? Explain your arguments.

c) If you were the defense attorney, what arguments would you make in defense of Diane? Defend your response.

d) If you were the prosecutor, what arguments would you make in prosecution of Diane? Defend your response.

e) Would Diane’s case have been handled differently in the federal system? How would the process be different?

f) What would be an appropriate court‐ordered option available based on the fact pattern from the defense attorney and prosecutorial perspectives?

Compare and contrast two pieces of artwork

Comparison and contrast the two art pieces Manet Olympia and Picasso’s Les Demoiselles d’Avignon . There are many differences to consider between the two paintings. For example, what do the videos contained in the Project Resources about the two artworks, tell us about the way each artwork was painted? Were their styles different? How so? What about the colors each artist used? How are the bodies of the women depicted? What about any flattening of the surfaces of the subjects? How are they posed? etc. (8-10 similarities and 6-10 differences)

The videos of “Olympia and Picasso’s Les Demoiselles d’Avignon” will be provided for this assignment for information about the two artworks that you can use to complete the project.

Implementing Network and Personnel Security Measures

The security consulting firm that you work for has been awarded a contract to implement a new IT Security Infrastructure to secure the Information Technology data assets of a local government agency. This agency has many remote workers that are in the field and need to connect back to the agency’s system servers. The remote workers use a wireless network infrastructure to connect their electronic pads to servers located within the local government’s facility. The remote workers have needs to access property records, cite zoning violations electronically, and validate building permits. The public demand to expand IT services has grown faster than its ability to provide an adequately secured infrastructure. In fact, this government entity was previously featured on the news for having minimal security controls and methods for accessing property tax information of citizens. The inadequate security allowed many construction trade businesses to illegally access property records and zoning violations. Your role in this project is to enhance and optimize the security mechanisms for accessing these systems.

Write a four to five (4-5) page paper in which you:

  • Create an information flow diagram, using Visio or Dia, which:
    • Illustrates how remote users will securely connect to the government agency’s network.
    • Illustrates the patch of network devices that data packets must travel to get from server to remote user’s device and back to server.
  • Provide an equipment list of network security devices that would be needed to ensure the integrity and sensitivity of private information. In this list:
    • Propose at least two (2) vendor brands per each device and the associate costs required to procure these items.
    • Identify the functionality each device serves and the expected benefits the government agency should experience upon the successful installation of this equipment.
  • Develop a maintenance plan that should be recommended to the government agency to ensure having the latest security measures available within the network in which you:
    • Describe the risks associated with not fulfilling the activities outlined within your maintenance plan.
    • Indicate specific activities, personnel / resources required, and frequency of execution.
  • Recommend at least four (4) physical security measures that could be developed to ensure the electronic perimeter of electronic assets.
  • Recommend at least two (2) physical security vendors that could achieve the four (4) security measures you identified. Justify your recommendations with your response.
  • Evaluate and consider activities that the Human Resources Department could perform in order to complement and instill security from within the organization. Provide a rationale with your response.

Note: The graphically depicted solution is not included in the required page length. Use at least three (3) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources.

Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), must follow APA. Include charts or diagrams created in Visio or one of its equivalents such as Dia. The completed diagrams / charts must be imported into the Word document before the paper is submitted.

Utilizing Complementary and Alternative Therapies in Patient Care

Complementary and alternative therapies are often used in combination with traditional medical practices to provide enhanced treatment. This is known as Integrative Medicine. Other times the therapies are used alone in place of traditional medicine. Choose a complementary or alternative therapy that interests you and research how it is used alone or in combination with traditional medicine.

Write a 1-2 page paper with references (excluding title page and reference page) that describes following:

  1. Describe the complementary/alternative therapy and how it is used in practice.
  2. Discuss your personal and professional opinion about this therapy and how it will influence the care for a client using this therapy.
