one and hife page .. 7$ Answer the following questions on Health Care Workforce/Personnel: The majority of schools of medicine, dentistry, nursing, and other professions and their teaching hospitals are heavily subsidized by federal and state funds. Many of those graduates, when they become health practitioners, feel no obligation to society for their publicly supported education. Do health care providers who reap the benefits of high compensation and social position have an ethical responsibility to repay taxpayers by meeting the needs of the medically underserved? Technical advances in health care have spawned an ever-increasing number of specialty- trained personnel. More recently, however, hospitals and other institutions are promoting the cross-training of personnel so that they can perform multiple tasks and work more flexibly, based on institution needs. What are the implications of cross training, in terms of quality of care, costs, and efficiency? Men comprise a small segment of the nurse population, although their numbers are increasing. Given the good income potential of the nursing profession and continuing demand, what is your opinion about why nursing does not attract more males? Answer the following questions on Health Care Financing: Name one (1) way each of the following has affected the costs of health care in the US? § The health insurance industry § Advances in medical care technology § Changes in U.S. demographics § Government support for health care § Consumer expectations If we accept the premises that resources available to meet the costs of health care are finite, and that continuing to increase dollars allocated for health care expenses carries “opportunity costs“ for the nation and society, discuss your position on the following: As a national policy should we allocate a set level of resources and apply them to achieving “the greatest good for the greatest number” (necessarily leaving some out) OR should we adopt the individualist approach of “those who can pay get, those who can’t pay, don’t?” From the patient perspective, what might be some of the positive and negative aspects of “disease management programs?” .

See Chapter 8 attached. Must be 200 word count. 1. Glenn: This chapter covers the different types and costs of health care. According to our reading, the cost of health care increases about 6% annually, and the new concentration of the health care industry is controlling overall cost. In the past, health care spending was not controlled, so providers could submit a claim for reimbursement and be automatically reimbursed with no penalty or incentive to control spending. I am sure that many claims were summited that were grossly over estimated, leading to higher health care costs for insurance companies and the consumers. I thought that the portion CDHPs was interesting. CDHPs allow consumers to control health care costs by giving them the opportunity to save money for health care, by letting consumers bank tax free money from paychecks to use towards medical expenses. I wish the data was more up to date, because I seem to remember reading somewhere in the Los Angeles Times that health care costs were due to increase well above the average annual increase in 2015. I know that a lot of those costs get passed on to the consumer, and it would be interesting to see just how much of tha ...

THIS IS THE FEEDBACK I RECEEIVED. Only one patient responded to my post. Hope this helps Ryan, Inadequate levels of nursing professionals were first discussed more than 80 years ago (Whelan, n.d.). Recently, scholars have opined many reasons for the shortage of nurses. Factors such as work stress, burnout, violence against healthcare professionals, a lack of qualified nursing instructors, and nurses unable to adapt to changing technology or clinical environments have been addressed (Haddad & Toney-Butler, 2019). As many nurses may attest, doing more with less can lead to mistakes and dissatisfaction with a nursing career. Ultimately, patient care suffers. Organizations employ various tactics to help strengthen nurse retention. Halter et al. (2017) suggest strong nursing leadership and assigning preceptors to new nurses can help minimize nursing resignation rates. At the writer’s employment, hospital administrators use several ways to retain nurses. Each quarter, a nurse is recognized for outstanding achievement by receiving a certificate, gift card, and editorial mention on the hospital’s intranet. Moreover, the hospital caters lunch for all employees, dayside and nighttime staff, twice a year for meeting quality targets. Also, the hospital uses various national celebration days such as ice cream, donuts, coffee, bagels, and candy to reward all employees. Creating a level of goodwill and institutional collaboration can help retain nurses and improve job satisfaction (Kurnat-Thoma et al., 2017). Reference Haddad, L.M., & Toney-Butler, T.J. (2019).

Fraher Reconfiguring Health Workforce Policy So That Education, Training, And Actual Delivery Of Care Are Closely Connected ABSTRACT There is growing consensus that the health care workforce in the United States needs to be reconfigured to meet the needs of a health care system that is being rapidly and permanently redesigned. Accountable care organizations and patient-centered medical homes, for instance, will greatly alter the mix of caregivers needed and create new roles for existing health care workers. The focus of health system innovation, however, has largely been on reorganizing care delivery processes, reengineering workflows, and adopting electronic technolo ...

Chapter 4 Where Do We Want to Be? Previous section Next section Chapter 4 Where Do We Want to Be? Even in a country that lacks an overall, cohesive health policy, it is useful to ask: How unhappy are we with our health care, and what do we want to change? Do not expect consistent responses from the American public. When the nation was debating the Clinton health plan, a number of organizations surveyed the public. Respondents reported they believed that the health care system was in trouble. At the same time, they expressed satisfaction with their own largely employer-financed health care programs. Public support for universal coverage was strong, but individuals did not want to pay higher taxes to support it (Peterson, 1995). An ABC New/Washington Post poll in October 1993 showed the following (Schick, 1995): • 51% of the public favored the Clinton health plan. • 59% thought that it was better than the existing system. • Only 19% thought that their care would get better under it, and 34% thought worse care would result. • However, 57% were against tax increases to pay for it, whereas 40% would be willing to pay. The American public also appears to be split over the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) as a whole. Data about opposition to the act can be misleading, with a significant portion of opposition coming from people who believe the ACA did not go far enough. They would prefer a public option, for example, or a single-payer system. Overall, the public is negative about the individual mandate and the employer mandate, but is much in favor of the insurance changes that have been implemented. People are confused about the insurance exchange provisions of the act as well. An April 2013 tracking poll found that “about half the public says they do not have enough information about the health reform law to understand how it will impact their own family, a share that rises among the uninsured and low-income households” (Kaiser Family Foundation, 2013). The same poll reported that 42% of respondents did not know that the ACA was still the law of the land. Twelve percent believed it had been repealed by Congress, 7% believed it had been overturned by the Supreme Court, and 23% didn’t know whether it was still in effect or not. Americans report being in good health more than any other OECD country. Their complaints are mostly about financial risks and to some extent access and waiting. A 2010 study of six developed countries showed that Americans were satisfied with their doctors and the availability of effective care, but were also more likely to report that the system needed to be completely rebuilt (Papanicolas, Cylus, & Smith, 2013). 4.1 Alignment with the Rest of Society Previous section Next section 4.1 ALIGNMENT WITH THE REST OF SOCIETY The democratic process is likely to generate many policy experiments as we cope with advancing technology, changing demographics, political pressures, and economic fluctuations.

Assignment 1: Discussion—Communicating Negative Information As you learned in the previous module, delivering bad news requires communicating honestly and directly, but also effectively. Communicating negative information or giving feedback to an employee is especially important for both the employee’s as well as the organization’s morale. Review the following scenario: Nancy Douglas is an assistant accountant for the hardware division of Crothwall and Associates—an IT company founded in 1997 and currently worth five billion dollars. The company conducts performance appraisals twice a year. Nancy has worked for the company for a year and a half and has received a B grade on her performance for both the appraisal cycles. After her second appraisal, Nancy had made a ten-thousand-dollar accounting mistake. Nancy takes an hour to commute to work and is a single parent. She has two children, ages three and six, and is on medication for insomnia. Assume that you are an assistant HR manager at Crothwall and Associates. You need to inform Nancy that she has received a C grade on her performance after the third appraisal and this is her only opportunity to improve the quality of her work. Based on your analysis of the scenario, the module readings, the online library resources, and the Internet, develop a scenario, including dialogue, for the conversation between you and Nancy in this situation. The scenario should be a properly worded communication and use communication etiquette effectively. Be sure to give reasons for your assertions and support them with scholarly research. Write your initial response in a minimum of 300 words. Apply APA standards to citation of sources. By Saturday, March 29, 2014 , post your response to the appropriate Discussion Area .

Assignment 1: Discussion—Biomes, Development, Pollution, and You Each part of the United States has at least one ecological crisis based on location, biome, and industrialization pattern. For example, the Midwest was once a prairie with very fertile soil. However, when people realized that with the right watering and drainage system this area could become productive farmland, there arose ecological problems. The conversion of the prairie to farmland is the root cause of many ecological problems in this region. Regardless of what biome you consider, humans have likely had an impact on the ecology of that area. For this assignment, identify the biome in which you live. The following are a few examples of biomes: Tropical rainforests: This biome has high average temperatures, high moisture levels, and high species diversity. Prairies: The prairies have grassland-variable temperatures, variable moisture levels—depending on proximity to mountain ranges—and are mainly dominated by grasses and ungulate herbivores. Deserts: These biomes have hotter average temperatures, low moisture, lower species diversity, and a composition of species limited mainly to those that are adapted to hot temperatures. Temperate forests: The temperate forests have variable temperatures, high moisture levels, and higher species diversity. Taigas: These biomes have colder average temperatures, lower moisture levels, and lower species diversity. Tundras: The tundras have cold average temperatures, low moisture levels, and low species diversity. Coral reefs: These biomes have high average temperatures and high species diversity. Open oceans: These biomes have a wide range of temperatures and species diversity varies. Chaparrals: The chaparrals have higher average temperatures, lower moisture levels, and are dominated mainly by grasses and shrubs. Alpines: These biomes have low average temperatures, low precipitation, and receive high ultraviolet (UV) rays due to high elevation. Using the readings for this module, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet, respond to the following: Explain how humans have impacted the biome in which you live. List the types of environmental damage that have been caused and the species that have been impacted. Describe the major pollution issues for your biome, and elaborate on the sources of this pollution. List any species that have become extinct in this biome. Support your statements with appropriate examples and scholarly references. Write your initial response in approximately 300–350 words. Apply APA standards to citation of sources. By Saturday, July 26, 2014 , post your response to the appropriate Discussion Area . Through Wednesday, July 30, 2014 , review and comment on at least two peers’ responses.

Assignment 1: Discussion—A Life in Review In late adulthood, most people engage in a process of life review. They recall their life histories and recount them to others as well. As people review the important events from their lives, they create a picture of their lives as an integrated whole. The last stage of Erikson’s theory is called ego integrity versus despair. As people complete their life reviews, they may feel a sense of integrity. This means they look back upon their lives with a sense of fulfillment and satisfaction. Others may have a sense of despair. They often feel unfulfilled and have regret about choices they have made or events that have occurred. Many people fear and dread the late adulthood stage of life because they believe what awaits them is ill health and cognitive decline. While that description fits some adults in later life, it certainly does not describe them all. Many older adults lead healthy, active lives and are closely connected to their families and communities. Use your module readings and the Argosy University online library resources to research the process of life review. Conduct your own life review and then respond to the following: What do you look forward to about getting older? What would you most like to look back on? How do you view Erikson’s stage of integrity versus despair as it relates to your own life? Support your arguments with research, citing sources. Write your initial response in 150–200 words. Apply APA standards to citation of sources. By Friday, September 12, 2014 , post your response to the appropriate Discussion Area . Through Wednesday, September 17, 2014 , review and comment on at least two peers’ responses. Ask a question, remark on an analysis presented, or suggest an alternative view.

Assignment 1: Discussion—Employee Impact on the Plan An organization can come up with the best strategy but in order to execute and be effective/successful it takes human capital to implement. Employees (management and staff alike) need to be bought into any strategy and its proposed results—this can make or break a plan. Understanding organizational behavior is an important part of plan execution. Using the module readings, the Internet, respond to the following for your own organization or an organization you know well: What are the individual behaviors that you can observe that have the most dramatic impact on the organization’s performance (good or bad)? What within the work setting drives these behaviors? What are the implications of these behaviors for recruiting and training new employees? Write your initial response in approximately 300 words. Apply APA standards to citation of sources. By Monday, April 14, 2014 , post your response to the appropriate Discussion Area . Through Tuesday, April 15, 2014 , review and comment on at least two peers’ responses. This is how I typically sound in my writing...this can be used as a focal point for the discussion: Organizational behavior (OB) is the study of individuals and their behavior within an organization. It is an interdisciplinary field that includes sociology, psychology, communication and management. (Cornell University Library Guides, 2011) Organizations are referred to as a group of people that share a common purpose within the same environment. Organizational behavior therefore refers to how groups of people behave within the organization due to the changes in culture with each stage of the business. Power is the ability to make things happen, as you want them to through a person, team or organization. It can be getting anyone to do what you want done. However, influence is the possession of what you have when power is exercised. (Organizational Behavior, 2003) My organization: Darden Restaurants. You can make anything up. :) .
