The document discusses whether a healthcare organization's (HCO) board should be independent from the HCO. Having an independent board provides oversight of policy, compliance, and finances, but it may lack institutional knowledge. Including physicians on the board provides clinical expertise but could introduce conflicts of interest. An independent board structure has benefits but also drawbacks, so an HCO must consider its unique circumstances to determine the best configuration.

Assignment #5 100 points _______________________________________________ A Comprehensive Position on Psychoactive Substances _______________________________________________ Preparation: By this point in the course, you have been exposed to a variety of different sources of information that attempt to contextualize psychoactive substance use in the United States. You also have written a number of short essays that focus on different substances and facets of use. Today’s assignment focuses on your ability to articulate a cohesive “summary” of your attitudes, beliefs, and understanding based on these experiences. Your Assignment: You have been hired by a non-partisan “think tank” to draft a position statement on psychoactive substances in the United States. This statement will be distributed to congress, members of the media, judicial agencies, public health agencies, and other interested parties. The purpose of the statement is to encourage a paradigm shift – to suggest a new way of thinking about psychoactive substances, or, if you wish, to reinforce current ways of thinking. Content for this statement should include (examples are provided on the reverse of this sheet): - What is the psychoactive substance that is most important to address in the United States? Choose one. - What current strategies address use of that substance? - What new strategies do you suggest to address that substance, if any? What You Need to Submit: This assignment should be a minimum of 1,250 words. Grading: Thorough examination of the issue 80 points - Part One (Selection of Most Important) (20) - Part Two (Current Strategies) (30) - Part Three (New Strategies) (30) Grammar/Spelling/Length 20 points Brief Sample Assignment: Most Important Substance: Here, I’m looking for you to select a single substance (i.e., cigarettes, alcohol, marijuana, etc…) that you think is important to address. Then, explain why it is the most important substance. A shortened example might be: “Marijuana is the most important substance to address in the United States because it’s the most contentious in terms of law. In other words, it is the area of the most conflict between state and federal governments.” - Then, tell me how you came to this conclusion (i.e., the standard that you used to determine this). - Provide examples Current Strategies: Identify one or two current strategies (such as MLDA 21, drug scheduling, warning labeling on cigarette packages, etc…) that have addressed the use of that substance. Then, tie them in to the issue you identified in the first part of the assignment. For example, “Marijuana remains illegal at the federal level with no accepted medical uses. This is because the FDA has stated that it will never approve a smoked substance as a medical product. However, this quickly is becoming a law without teeth, as .
