lourapoupheq

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (2010) is a pivotal piece of legislation aimed to improve the current healthcare system in the United States. The legislation aims to ensure that all American citizens have access to good quality and affordable healthcare. One of the focal points of this act is that individuals will need to maintain minimum essential coverage or pay a penalty (Democratic Policy and Communications Center [DPCC], n.d.). Employers with more than 200 employees must also automatically enroll new, full-time employees in coverage. Analyze the advantages and disadvantages of the legislation as it relates to mandatory insurance coverage. Based on the information you reviewed on the act, respond to the following: In your opinion, will mandatory health insurance create hardships for those families who cannot afford the premium and are not eligible for Medicaid or other financial assistance? Could employers only employ contracted workers or part-time staff to avoid paying for mandatory health insurance for them? How feasible is it for employers to automatically enroll full-time employees? What other specific objectives contained within the act do you think may come under scrutiny? Support your statements with scholarly references and appropriate examples. .

Running Head: CONDUCTING ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS 1 CONDUCTING ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS 2 Conducting Environmental Analysis Introduction External environmental as well as internal environmental factors have continued to influence how most activities are managed in an organization (Baskind, 2012). In this case we look at these factors in relation to Bridge HealthCare which is a hospital that offers healthcare services in Tennessee. This organization is operating in health industry which is a very dynamic and diverse environment. As a health care facility, Bridge is faced with several challenges and it is therefore very important for the management and staff to collaborate in order to meet the goals of the organization. It is important as an administrator to carry out an evaluation process that is important to identify the factors that affect the success of Bridge Healthcare. In this case we are going concentrate on those internal and external factors that are very influential when it comes to success of the organization. Determine two (2) specific forces in the external environment that will have the most impact on your organization There are several segments of the external environment that needs to be analyzed in order to determine the threats that an organization is faced with. There are five sectors that make up the external environment and they include social cultural forces, political forces, competitive forces and technological forces (Baskind, 2012). i. Changes that are seen in the political or legal segment In most cases, changes in political or legal segment can be reflected across the hospital through the payer mix. Payer mix is defined as that proportion of revenue which is realized from different payers. According to data in 2012 by Forster health care programs that are government funded made up 66% of the revenue that was acquired by most of health care providers. The remaining amount of revenue was provided by the local government, private payment, insurance companies, and voluntary non-governmental organizations (Baskind, 2012). Looking at the fact that the government made up the biggest percentage of payer, it means that financial liability of most organizations is dependent on funding that is provided by the federal government, and the partnership that the government had with state through the Medicaid plan. In any case the federal government enacts legislations that would lead to changes in the sources of finance, Bridge and other health care providers will be at risk of financial strain. Bridge hospital started to experience difficulty when there was turbulence in the legal and political sector when they created the TennCare program. The current model of reimbursement which is the TennCare started way back in 1994. Looking back since it was implemented funding per cover dropped to 57% from 65%. This was not the only instance where political factors in Tennessee affected the medical provision. The Federal Balanced Act i ...

Create a PowerPoint presentation of 14-16 slides with speaking notes.docx

rajahchelsey

Create a PowerPoint presentation of 14-16 slides with speaking notes on the new regulations impacting the practice as a result of the Affordable Care Act. Introduction The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA or ACA) was signed into law by President Barack Obama in 2010. The ACA attempts to increase access to care, reduce cost, and improve quality. Nearly 50 different reform initiatives were implemented between 2010 and 2017. Although primary care is a major focus of the act, these additional initiatives are focused on 10 different areas, including public health, prevention of disease, community health, and increasing revenue provisions to pay for the reform (Niles, 2021). The law has been controversial due to the mandate that all Americans must purchase health insurance. The U.S. government plays a significant role in the operation of the country's health care system. Quality, access, funding, education, and preventative services are all influenced by the U.S. government (Niles, 2021), and the Affordable Care Act (ACA) has further increased the role and involvement of the government in health care. All health care administrators must be knowledgeable on the role of the government. Numerous governmental organizations exist, such as the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and the Office of the Surgeon General to name a few. Each organization exists for a specific purpose and has a specific mission. Your role as an administrator will be to understand the scope of these agencies and to help your organization meet or exceed the governmental mandates imposed by each. Reference Niles, N. J. (2021). Basics of the U.S. health care system (4th ed.). Jones & Bartlett Learning.

25HR—MEETING MANAGEMENT CHALLENGESEqual employment oppor.docx

eugeniadean34240

25 HR—MEETING MANAGEMENT CHALLENGES Equal employment opportunity and diversity of the workforce represent major issues for HR in most organizations. To explain why, this chapter considers: The legal underpinnings of EEO• The controversy surrounding affirmative action• Sources of increasing diversity• EEO remains one of an organization’s challenges because of the amount of litigation associated with it. Yet the diversity in the workforce will increase in the years ahead, making it necessary to manage this part of the human resources function effectively. EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY (EEO) In the United States, using race, gender, disability, age, religion, and certain other characteristics as the basis for choosing among people at work is gener- ally illegal. Doing so can also be quite expensive, as fines and back wages can be awarded as well as sizable lawsuit settlements. Inequality in the treatment of people with different backgrounds has been an issue for many years, but it was the Civil Rights Act of 1964 that started a legislative movement toward leveling the playing field in employment. Initially focus was on race, gender, and religion, but these characteristics were soon followed by age, pregnancy, and individuals with disabilities. Since then numerous Executive Orders, regulations, and interpretations by courts have affected the employer/employee relationship. Perhaps nothing has had the impact of Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) on HR during the same period of time. At the core of equal employment is the concept of discrimination. The word discrimination simply means “recognizing differences among items or people.” For example, employers must discriminate (choose) among appli- cants for a job on the basis of job requirements and candidates’ qualifica- tions. However, when discrimination is based on race, gender, or some other C H A P T E R 2 Equal Employment Opportunity and Diversity 81700_ch02_ptg01_025-050.indd 2581700_ch02_ptg01_025-050.indd 25 5/26/11 4:27:08 PM5/26/11 4:27:08 PM 26 CHAPTER 2 factors, it is illegal and employers face problems.

What item you found to be compelling and enlightening. Kerry- Law and Ethics are important to practitioners and managers because, without them, there would be no guide to follow, and everyone staff and patients alike would do as they please. Laws and Ethics help show what is right and what is wrong not only in healthcare but also in life. Ethics means what is right and wrong regarding how a person acts and what they do. Law is a practice or procedure that is enforced by a higher authority in regard to a profession. Law and ethics go hand-in-hand in the healthcare world and are used and practiced on a daily basis. The relationship between law and ethics is weaved together for what people believe is good and evil. The law has the ability to force doctors and practitioners to perform what they may feel to be unethical in their practice. Doctors and practitioners who believe that the rules force them to be unethical must work within the legal world to change it to what they feel is ethical in practice. Both laws and ethics work to build a moral line for all people in healthcare and the world. Breaking an ethical code will cause embarrassment, confusion, and dissatisfaction; however, ethical principles do not carry legal penalties with them as the law does. A personal example of how law and ethics can be fused was when I replaced my hip. I wanted to make sure that the nurses, doctors, anesthesiologist, and all other staff helping with the procedure were on the same page and that there weren't conflicting issues among all of them. This shows ethics between all of the team, along with wanting them on the same page. I would also like to make sure that my privacy was vital, that my information would not be given out to whoever asked for it, and that my surgery, diagnosis, etc., was not talked about to other staff members not working with me personally. If this privacy were to be broken, that would be a violation of HIPPA, which is a law of protection of privacy. There are four primary sources of law. Those are constitutional law, case law, statutory law, and administrative law. Constitutional law is derived from federal and state constitutions and is the highest law in the country. Case law, also known as common law, is a law set by legal precedent. Legal precedent means decisions made by judges in the several courts that become the rule of law even though they were not established by legislation. Statutory l.
