the continuing transformation of the U.S. health care industry HCA42, Health & Medical Homework Help

/in /by

One of the trends marking the continuing transformation of the U.S. health care industry is the dramatic increase in the pace of competition. The heightened competition is taking place among hospitals, health plans, physician groups, and drug companies, and between physicians and hospitals, and hospitals and health plans. Listen to the Looking Ahead: The Future of Health Care Policy podcast from National Public Radio (NPR). Then, prepare a three- to five-page paper in which you: 

  • Describe the different forms of competition that take place among various types of health care organizations.
  • Evaluate the benefits and pitfalls of competition in health care and suggest alternatives if competition was not the primary driver of operations in the U.S. health care system.
  • Explain the elements of successful competition and the use of competitive intelligence.
  • Describe the influence competition has on the services offered by health care organizations and the choices patients have.

Your paper must be three to five double-spaced pages (excluding title and reference pages) and formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.

Insurance: property, life, and health. Required preparation for class:

Ferguson, The Ascent of Money, Chapter 4

Reflect on the following questions as you read this chapter: What are the theoretical essentials that make insurance “work”? Why is insurance described as “where the risks and uncertainties of life meet the risks and uncertainties of finance”? What pushed England and Japan towards the “welfare state”? Why have the results been so different, in those countries, and in Chile? What financial instruments resemble the risk mitigating aspects of insurance?

AIG articles

Palazzo, Unethical Decision Making, “The Power of Strong Situations”

Here is a link for a text. And you have to use the Chapter 4 as sources.

Differentiate between the common use of the word research and the use of the wor

/in /by

  • Identify the major steps in the research process using a classic
    study in Psychology as an example.

Part
I:  Defining Research

The word research
is used in many different ways.  Consider
the following examples:

  • Your
    friend tells you that he intends to research different hair products before
    deciding on one to buy.

  • A
    real estate agent advises you to research home values in your neighborhood
    before putting your house on the market.

  • A
    police officer reports that she is doing ‘some research’ on possible motives
    for a crime that was committed.

  • A
    writer states that he does ‘extensive research’ before beginning his fictional
    works.

Answer the questions below:

  1. How is
    research defined in the social and behavioral sciences? 

  2. What
    makes scientific research different from the examples provided above?  In your response, be sure to address the
    characteristics of ‘good’ psychological research.

    Part II: Understanding the research process

    Researchers
    in Psychology follow a systematic process of investigation. Carefully read
    Chapter 2 of your textbook, paying special attention to the section on
    Experimental Research.  Then go to
    Chapter 7 in your textbook and read the following section: Research In-Depth:
    Counterfactuals and “If Only…” Thinking. 
    Answer the questions below, using Medvec & colleagues’ first study as an example:

  1. What
    hypothesis did Medvec & colleagues set out to test in their first study of
    the ‘near miss’ phenomenon?  Describe the
    theory associated with this hypothesis.

  2. Identify
    the variables in the study and describe how they were measured.  How did the researchers operationalize (test
    or measure) affective response upon winning a bronze or silver medal?

  3. Who
    were the participants in the study and what did they do?

  4. Describe
    the data that were collected and analyzed.

  5. Describe
    the results of the study.  What did the
    researchers conclude?

  6. If
    you were to design a follow-up experiment on this subject, what might it be?

Chart the Antecedents and Consequences of Job Satisfaction

/in /by

Read entire description.

Over many years of research, job satisfaction has been linked to many important concepts. Your task this week is to create a chart that summarizes the antecedents and consequences of job satisfaction, and then prepare a brief essay to describe the significance of your findings.

Part 1: Antecedents are variables thought to cause job satisfaction/dissatisfaction. Consequences are the positive and negative outcomes that occur because of job satisfaction. Review past research, and then create a chart that outlines the following:

  • Five (5) antecedents of job satisfaction/dissatisfaction
    • Provide a definition of each antecedent, describe the relationship between the antecedent and job satisfaction (e.g., job satisfaction is caused by high/low levels of “X”), and identify at least one study to support your discussion of each antecedent variable.
  • Five (5) consequences of job satisfaction/dissatisfaction
    • Provide a definition of each consequence, describe the relationship between the consequence and job satisfaction (e.g., high/low job satisfaction results in high/low levels of “X”), and identify at least one study to support your discussion of each outcome variable.

A sample chart is provided below:

Antecedents

Definition of Variable

Relationship

Research Support

For example:

Autonomy

Autonomy is the freedom employees have to their jobs as they see fit.

Higher levels of autonomy lead to greater levels of job satisfaction.

Kinicki, A. J., McKee-Ryan, F. M., Schriesheim, C. A., & Carson, K. P. (2002). Assessing the construct validity of the Job Descriptive Index: A review and meta-analysis. Journal of Applied Psychology, 87(1), 14-32.

Consequences

Definition of Variable

Relationship

Research Support

Part 2: After you have completed your chart, write a brief essay describing why it is important to understand the various causes and consequences of job satisfaction. Has the field’s focus on identifying causes and consequences undermined our understanding of job satisfaction? Why or why not?

Length: 2-3 page chart; 2-3 paragraph essay

References: Support your discussion with at least five references to peer-reviewed sources.

Your chart should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts presented in the course and provide new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your response should reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards.

Workflow analysis aims to determine workflow patterns that maximize the effective use of resources and minimize activities that do not add value. There are a variety of tools that can be used to analyze the workflow of processes and clarify potential avenues for eliminating waste. Flowcharts are a basic and commonly used workflow analysis method that can help highlight areas in need of streamlining.

In this Assignment, you select a common event that occurs regularly in your organization and create a flowchart representing the workflow. You analyze the process you have diagrammed and propose changes for improvement.

To prepare:

  • Identify a common, simple event that frequently occurs in your organization that you would like to evaluate.
  • Consider how you would design a flowchart to represent the current workflow.
  • Consider what metrics you would use to determine the effectiveness of the current workflow and identify areas of waste.

To complete:

Write a 3- to 5-page paper which includes the following:

  • Create a simple flowchart of the activity you selected. (Review the Sample Workflow of Answering a Telephone in an Office document found in this week’s Learning Resources for an example.)
  • Next, in your paper:
    • Explain the process you have diagrammed.
    • For each step or decision point in the process, identify the following:
      • Who does this step? (It can be several people.)
      • What technology is used?
      • What policies and rules are involved in determining how, when, why, or where the step is executed?
      • What information is needed for the execution of this step?
    • Describe the metric that is currently used to measure the soundness of the workflow. Is it effective?
    • Describe any areas where improvements could occur and propose changes that could bring about these improvements in the workflow.
    • Summarize why it is important to be aware of the flow of an activity.
  • Remember to include a cover page, introduction, and summary for your paper.
