“New occasions teach new duties.”
James Russell Lowell 1819–1891 (American editor, poet, and diplomat)
One of the most complex issues that businesspersons and corporations face is ethics. Ethics is not as clearly defined as the law, and yet it can substantially impact a firm’s finances and reputation, especially when the firm is involved in a well-publicized scandal. Some scandals arise from conduct that is legal but ethically questionable. At other times, the conduct is both illegal and unethical. Business law and legal environment students must be able to think critically about both legal and ethical issues. As noted in the chapter-opening quotation, “New occasions teach new duties.”
Suppose that Finn Clayborn dropped out of Harvard University to start a company in Silicon Valley that developed and sold finger-prick blood-test kits. Clayborn raised millions from investors by claiming that his new technology would revolutionize blood testing by providing a full range of laboratory tests from a few drops of blood. The kits were marketed as a better alternative to traditional, more expensive lab tests ordered by physicians. They were sold at drugstores for a few dollars each and touted as a way for consumers to test their blood type and monitor their cholesterol, iron, and many other conditions. Within six years, Clayborn and his company were making millions. But complaints started rolling in that the test kits didn’t work and the results were not accurate (because more blood was needed). Numerous consumers, drugstores, and government agencies sued the company for fraudulent and misleading marketing practices. Clayborn’s profitable start-up now faces an uncertain future.
The goal of business ethics is not to stifle innovation. There is nothing unethical about a company selling an idea or technology that is still being developed. In fact, that’s exactly what many successful start-ups do—take a promising idea and develop it into a reality. But businesspersons also need to consider what will happen if new technologies do not work. Do they go ahead with production and sales? What are the ethical problems with putting a product on the market that does not function as advertised? To be sure, there is not always one clear answer to an ethical question. What is clear is that rushing to production and not thinking through ...

Introduction
Health care is one of the most heavily regulated major industries in the United States. Leaders are challenged to stay current and to comply with federal, state, and local laws and their associated regulations. Health care organizations are also responsible to meet industry standards. In some cases, payers equate meeting industry standards with achieving and maintaining accreditation. In fact, many payers consider accreditation a minimum condition of participation. In addition, individual licensure and certification requirements establish basic expectations for health care leaders' professional conduct.
In summary, health care leaders are responsible to:
1. Meet ethical personal, professional conduct, certification, and licensure expectations.
2. Comply with local, state, and federal health care and human resources laws.
3. Provide evidence of compliance with existing regulations and scan the field for emerging regulations.
4. Identify and meet appropriate accrediting body standards (for example, Joint Commission’s National Patient Safety Goals standards).
As an individual’s health care leadership career advances, so does the corresponding level of accountability. Not knowing the laws or regulations is not an excuse for not complying with them.
This assessment allows you to demonstrate your knowledge of and skills relating to compliance concepts, and governmental and regulatory agencies that oversee health care service delivery, billing, and general operations. You will also have the opportunity to apply the components necessary to initiate and maintain an effective compliance program. Finally, you will consider relevant human resources laws that may pertain to your compliance recommendations.
Instructions

· 1. Describe the revenue cycle for healthcare firms.
· 2. Understand the role of coding information in healthcare organizations in claim generation.

REAL-WORLD SCENARIO
Riley Ilene, the Chief Financial Officer of Campbell Hospital, was concerned by the reduction in revenue during the last 3 months. The revenue reduction was most pronounced in the outpatient arena and represented a 15% reduction from prior-year levels. Loss of this revenue had eroded Campbell’s already thin operating margins, and the hospital was now operating with losses.
Riley’s first thought was that volume may be down from prior-year levels. She asked her controller, Michael Dean, to report on comparative volumes for last year and this year. Michael’s report showed that total numbers of outpatient visits were actually above last year. Furthermore, the increases in volumes appeared relatively uniform across all product line groupings. Riley then directed Michael to review “Revenue and Usage” summaries for the current year and last year. A revenue and usage summary would show the quantity of items billed by charge code and payer. The summaries would also break out the volumes by inpatient and outpatient areas.
After reviewing these data Michael reported back to Riley with some startling news. Volumes for several procedures in the hospital’s “charge master” were well below prior-year levels. Specifically, the numbers of drug administration codes that are reported when an injectable or infusible drug is administered were well below prior-year levels. This was surprising because the number of injectable and infusible drugs had actually increased.
Riley Ilene thought she had discovered the problem and reported back to her CEO, Meredith Lynn. Meredith, however, asked Riley whether this could have caused the revenue reduction. Meredith believed that a heavy percentage of the hospital’s payment was related to either case payment for inpatients or APC (ambulatory patient classification) groups for outpatients. Meredith believed that these bundled payments would not be impacted by a failure to document the drug administration procedures.
Riley said that this was a good point and she would do some additional research and report back to Meredith. Riley found that Medicare provides separate payment for the drug administration procedure when performed in outpatient visits. The average loss for the undocumented procedure codes appeared to average about $130 per occurrence. Riley also found that many of their commercial payers paid on a discount from billed charge basis. Failure to report these procedures for these payers would result in lost revenue. The only r ...
INTRODUCTIONThis graded project is a research paper that you’l.docx
INTRODUCTION
This graded project is a research paper that you’ll complete
and submit to the school for grading. In your paper, you’ll
apply what you learned about HIPAA to an actual situation in
which a health care organization violated HIPAA regulations.
YOUR ASSIGNMENT
Health care organizations must know and follow the regulations
that are set forth by HIPAA, or be held accountable
for their failure to follow the rules. For this assignment,
you’ll need to find three real-life examples of HIPAA violations;
that is, violations of HIPAA’s privacy or security laws
that occurred in the United States since the passage of the
HIPAA law (after 1996). Each violation described should be
serious, and one that resulted in a fine or penalty for the
individual or company involved.
You can find real-life examples of HIPAA violations in
news reports, medical journals, professional health care
publications, and other similar reliable factual sources.
For each example violation, you should provide the following
information:
n
A complete, descriptive summary of the case
n
Important facts that relate to the case, such as the
names of the company or individual involved, the date
of the violation, and the city and state where the incident
occurred
n
An explanation of the HIPAA rules that were violated
Be sure to answer these questions when writing your
summaries:
n
How did the HIPAA violation occur?
n
What policies (if any) did the organization have in place
to protect against the violation?
n
What was the penalty for the violation (fine, prison term,
termination of employment, etc)?
Finally, describe three ways in which the organization could
have prevented the violation.
Organize your three case examples into a 750-word paper.
Research Instructions
To write your paper, you may use journal articles, textbook
material, case studies, and Web site information. The Web
site information must come from reputable and verifiable
sources, such as the United States Department of Health and
Human Services, the American Medical Association, professional
or business organizations, or articles published by
major news organizations.
To get started on finding a real-life case example that you’re
interested in, you can use an Internet search engine such as
Google. Try entering keywords such as “HIPAA violation”
under the “News” section. Or, go to your local library and
perform a search in the medical journals or professional
publications they have on file.
Writing Guidelines
1. Type your submission, double-spaced, in a standard
print font, size 12. Use a standard document format with
1-inch margins. (Do

“New occasions teach new duties.”
James Russell Lowell 1819–1891 (American editor, poet, and diplomat)
One of the most complex issues that businesspersons and corporations face is ethics. Ethics is not as clearly defined as the law, and yet it can substantially impact a firm’s finances and reputation, especially when the firm is involved in a well-publicized scandal. Some scandals arise from conduct that is legal but ethically questionable. At other times, the conduct is both illegal and unethical. Business law and legal environment students must be able to think critically about both legal and ethical issues. As noted in the chapter-opening quotation, “New occasions teach new duties.”
Suppose that Finn Clayborn dropped out of Harvard University to start a company in Silicon Valley that developed and sold finger-prick blood-test kits. Clayborn raised millions from investors by claiming that his new technology would revolutionize blood testing by providing a full range of laboratory tests from a few drops of blood. The kits were marketed as a better alternative to traditional, more expensive lab tests ordered by physicians. They were sold at drugstores for a few dollars each and touted as a way for consumers to test their blood type and monitor their cholesterol, iron, and many other conditions. Within six years, Clayborn and his company were making millions. But complaints started rolling in that the test kits didn’t work and the results were not accurate (because more blood was needed). Numerous consumers, drugstores, and government agencies sued the company for fraudulent and misleading marketing practices. Clayborn’s profitable start-up now faces an uncertain future.
The goal of business ethics is not to stifle innovation. There is nothing unethical about a company selling an idea or technology that is still being developed. In fact, that’s exactly what many successful start-ups do—take a promising idea and develop it into a reality. But businesspersons also need to consider what will happen if new technologies do not work. Do they go ahead with production and sales? What are the ethical problems with putting a product on the market that does not function as advertised? To be sure, there is not always one clear answer to an ethical question. What is clear is that rushing to production and not thinking through ...

Introduction
Health care is one of the most heavily regulated major industries in the United States. Leaders are challenged to stay current and to comply with federal, state, and local laws and their associated regulations. Health care organizations are also responsible to meet industry standards. In some cases, payers equate meeting industry standards with achieving and maintaining accreditation. In fact, many payers consider accreditation a minimum condition of participation. In addition, individual licensure and certification requirements establish basic expectations for health care leaders' professional conduct.
In summary, health care leaders are responsible to:
1. Meet ethical personal, professional conduct, certification, and licensure expectations.
2. Comply with local, state, and federal health care and human resources laws.
3. Provide evidence of compliance with existing regulations and scan the field for emerging regulations.
4. Identify and meet appropriate accrediting body standards (for example, Joint Commission’s National Patient Safety Goals standards).
As an individual’s health care leadership career advances, so does the corresponding level of accountability. Not knowing the laws or regulations is not an excuse for not complying with them.
This assessment allows you to demonstrate your knowledge of and skills relating to compliance concepts, and governmental and regulatory agencies that oversee health care service delivery, billing, and general operations. You will also have the opportunity to apply the components necessary to initiate and maintain an effective compliance program. Finally, you will consider relevant human resources laws that may pertain to your compliance recommendations.

Chapter 2 Billing and Coding for Health Services
LEARNING OBJECTIVES

· 1. Describe the revenue cycle for healthcare firms.
· 2. Understand the role of coding information in healthcare organizations in claim generation.

REAL-WORLD SCENARIO
Riley Ilene, the Chief Financial Officer of Campbell Hospital, was concerned by the reduction in revenue during the last 3 months. The revenue reduction was most pronounced in the outpatient arena and represented a 15% reduction from prior-year levels. Loss of this revenue had eroded Campbell’s already thin operating margins, and the hospital was now operating with losses.
Riley’s first thought was that volume may be down from prior-year levels. She asked her controller, Michael Dean, to report on comparative volumes for last year and this year. Michael’s report showed that total numbers of outpatient visits were actually above last year. Furthermore, the increases in volumes appeared relatively uniform across all product line groupings. Riley then directed Michael to review “Revenue and Usage” summaries for the current year and last year. A revenue and usage summary would show the quantity of items billed by charge code and payer. The summaries would also break out the volumes by inpatient and outpatient areas.
After reviewing these data Michael reported back to Riley with some startling news. Volumes for several procedures in the hospital’s “charge master” were well below prior-year levels. Specifically, the numbers of drug administration codes that are reported when an injectable or infusible drug is administered were well below prior-year levels. This was surprising because the number of injectable and infusible drugs had actually increased.
Riley Ilene thought she had discovered the problem and reported back to her CEO, Meredith Lynn. Meredith, however, asked Riley whether this could have caused the revenue reduction. Meredith believed that a heavy percentage of the hospital’s payment was related to either case payment for inpatients or APC (ambulatory patient classification) groups for outpatients. Meredith believed that these bundled payments would not be impacted by a failure to document the drug administration procedures.
Riley said that this was a good point and she would do some additional research and report back to Meredith. Riley found that Medicare provides separate payment for the drug administration procedure when performed in outpatient visits. The average loss for the undocumented procedure codes appeared to average about $130 per occurrence. Riley also found that many of their commercial payers paid on a discount from billed charge basis. Failure to report these procedures for these payers would result in lost revenue. The only r ...

INTRODUCTION
This graded project is a research paper that you’ll complete
and submit to the school for grading. In your paper, you’ll
apply what you learned about HIPAA to an actual situation in
which a health care organization violated HIPAA regulations.
YOUR ASSIGNMENT
Health care organizations must know and follow the regulations
that are set forth by HIPAA, or be held accountable
for their failure to follow the rules. For this assignment,
you’ll need to find three real-life examples of HIPAA violations;
that is, violations of HIPAA’s privacy or security laws
that occurred in the United States since the passage of the
HIPAA law (after 1996). Each violation described should be
serious, and one that resulted in a fine or penalty for the
individual or company involved.
You can find real-life examples of HIPAA violations in
news reports, medical journals, professional health care
publications, and other similar reliable factual sources.
For each example violation, you should provide the following
information:
n
A complete, descriptive summary of the case
n
Important facts that relate to the case, such as the
names of the company or individual involved, the date
of the violation, and the city and state where the incident
occurred
n
An explanation of the HIPAA rules that were violated
Be sure to answer these questions when writing your
summaries:
n
How did the HIPAA violation occur?
n
What policies (if any) did the organization have in place
to protect against the violation?
n
What was the penalty for the violation (fine, prison term,
termination of employment, etc)?
Finally, describe three ways in which the organization could
have prevented the violation.
Organize your three case examples into a 750-word paper.
Research Instructions
To write your paper, you may use journal articles, textbook
material, case studies, and Web site information. The Web
site information must come from reputable and verifiable
sources, such as the United States Department of Health and
Human Services, the American Medical Association, professional
or business organizations, or articles published by
major news organizations.
To get started on finding a real-life case example that you’re
interested in, you can use an Internet search engine such as
Google. Try entering keywords such as “HIPAA violation”
under the “News” section. Or, go to your local library and
perform a search in the medical journals or professional
publications they have on file.
Writing Guidelines
1. Type your submission, double-spaced, in a standard
print font, size 12. Use a standard document format with
1-inch margins. (Do
not
use any fancy or cursive fonts.)
2. Read the assignment carefully, and follow the instructions.
3. Be sure to include the following information at the top of
your paper:

Why the ABA Got Hacked — and What It Means for Banks
American Banker October 2, 2015
Summary: The ABA (American Bankers Association) announced that its website had
been hacked, resulting in access to 6,400 users' email addresses and passwords. This is
the first breach ever for the ABA. Although it has been targeted in the past, this time
hackers got away with user passwords and IDs. The hackers targeted the shopping cart
with a likely motive of also accessing user credit card information. The hackers were able
to get away with email addresses and passwords to try and use them in other websites like
Amazon or airline sites. The ABA strongly recommends that if users use the same
passwords for other sites to change their passwords immediately. The true motives
behind the ABA breach may never be known. "We only hear about the really high-profile
cases," Hayes said. "Everybody is being breached and this is happening on a daily basis."

Assignment 1: Reflections on Race and Racialization
This assignment asks you to produce
2 double-spaced pages
of writing in which you share your beliefs, experiences, questions, suggestions, and/or reactions to issues of issues of race and racialization covered thus far in the lectures, sections, readings, and videos. This write-up
must have a descriptive title
(a specific title that captures its contents), but otherwise can be presented however you like.
For example, it could be written as a reflection essay, a short autobiographical sketch, a journal entry, a social media post, a letter to a friend, or another style
so long as what you submit addresses the basic prompt
. It does not need to be formal and is not intended to take overly long to write. It is, however, intended to foster critical reflection on your part, and must be informed by ideas from the course. (It is fine to disagree with ideas presented in course lectures or readings; however, you should write about these ideas in a way which clarifies that you know what those course materials have stated, and that you are asserting a different opinion.) If you cite specific sources (not required), you should include citations following one of the major citational styles.

Assignment 1: Project Proposal4
Assignment 1: Project Proposal
Mark McLeod
BUS419 – Project Estimating & Budgeting
Dr. Carlos J Febry
Date:4/19/19
Selected project
The selected project will involve the development of an information system for the general management of the Mundi Hospital. The main aim of the system will be to establish the desired efficiency, manage human resources, manage patient’s records with ease as well as automate finance department of the Hospital. By implementing the proposed project, the hospital will have aligned the operations of the hospital towards achieving the set goals and objectives.
Project goals and objectives
One of the goals of the proposed information system will be reducing the wait time from hours to forty-five minutes upon signing into the hospital. The goal will be achieved through with the help of the following objectives:
· Faster determination of patient’s requirements
· Easier scheduling of patients appointments
· The system does the faster appointment schedule
The second goal of the system will be facilitating easier financial management. The goal will be achieved through the following objective
· To establish faster payments for the services offered
· Faster generation of financial reports trends
· Easier tracking of transaction made by the hospital
The last goal that Mundui Hospital wishes to achieve through the system is the efficient management of human resources. The goal will be achieved through the fowling objectives
· Monitoring of employees performance
· Manage employees affairs such as promotions and salaries
Key project customers and stakeholders
Project stakeholders involve all the parties that will be impacted by the new system during the development and implementation of the project. The critical project customers for the Mundui hospital Information will be the patients as well as the hospital staff. The system will help hospital staff to manage to perform their duties within the stipulated time frame thus reducing the wait time for the patients. Patients will also rely on the system to determine their wait time to see a doctor or time taken to receive any service needed within Mundi Hospital. The hospital management is a sponsor of the project and thus expects that the proposed information system will be developed within the stipulated time as well as the allocated budget. Any deviation from the proposed requirements will be an unwelcome move to the project sponsor. Deviation from the original plan would imply an increased cost of the project or unwanted delays.
The hospital wishes to attract more customers who are cautious of what to expect before making their final decisions regarding healthcare services. The system will help the hospital eliminate the problem of unwanted delays resulting from the manual operation of patients records as well handling of wait time for the patients. The project hopes to receive more support from other investors if the proof of the.

You should now find a press release from the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, dated December 16, 2009, which discusses the decisions of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) for that date.
This release also states that the Federal Reserve is in the process of purchasing $1.25 trillion of agency mortgage-backed securities and about $175 billion of agency debt. Additionally, the release states that the FOMC has decided to gradually reduce “the pace” of such Fed purchases. Discuss why you believe that the FOMC has made such a decision, and explain the consequences of such a decision on the economy.
In your answer, discuss the Federal Reserve’s use of open-market operations to influence the money supply and the respective consequences of such actions. Include a discussion of the money multiplier effect in your response. Justify your conclusions and provide appropriate examples.
Using Microsoft Word, submit your responses in the form of a short paper ( 2 pages).

I.
How does open market operation (OMO) affect economic activity:
OMO refers to the
sale /purchase of securities
(government) by the
FED
to other banks, institutional buyers and financial institutions in order to influence the total money circulating in the system. Ina recession when the govt wants consumers to spend more it purchases these securities. This releases more funds into the coffers of these institutions, which allows them to use these to extend more credit and raise consumption and investments. the opposite happens in a boom period. When the government wants to reduce spending and arrest rising prices it takes away funds by offering to sell its own securities. Financial institutions buys these and reduce the amount left with them for credit purposes. Since the FOMC is the
policy making branch
of the FED it is responsible for any decisions on sale/purchase of securities as well as the price at which these transactions happen. The article is a part of that decision making. It outlines the decisions taken and elucidates the reasons behind the former. Therefore the influence on the economy of OMO is via changes in
money supply

Assignment 1 Political Belief ProfileThe relationship between pub.docx
Assignment 1: Political Belief Profile
The relationship between public opinion and political participation raises many questions associated with how the public thinks, why they behave in the manner they do, and what outcomes in the form of ideological expressions will probably take place because of citizens’ behavior in the political scenario. Essentially, “who, what, and where” issues again surface in response to evaluation of political socialization.
Political socialization may be expressed in a singular way, depending on the issue of concern, but it is not derived from any single impact throughout the life of American voters and nonvoters. Qualities and conditions such as gender, race, economic status, education, and religion impact voter behaviors. Indeed, whether or not an individual votes, or takes part in any of the varied available options for participation, is closely allied with the political socialization of individuals and even entire socioeconomic groups.
The Political Compass Web site (
http://www.politicalcompass.org
) offers a self-test that helps you analyze your personal political views on what the test authors call a “left–right” scale. Take the test and review your results to see where you stand on the economic scale and the social scale. Discuss the results using the following questions:
Did your “test result” match what you thought were your political beliefs?
What is “politically correct” thinking? Give examples of what might be considered “politically correct” and “politically incorrect.”
To what degree do you think your values and beliefs represent the norms, values, and traditions of society? Define your answer using the following Likert scale—extremely common, common, moderately common, uncommon, and extremely uncommon.
Write your response in 150–200 words.

Alan Cabelly, Ph.D. 2 Case Overview Part A In August, Jason Hubbs submitted a résumé to the human resource department of Big Time Computers Inc. in response to an advertisement in the local newspaper for a senior technical writer. The résumé was forwarded to Big Time’s Manager of Technical Publications, Lisa Cavanaugh, for her consideration. Big Time Computers is a local high-tech firm with sales offices throughout the United States and Europe. At the time of the senior technical writer job advertisement, Big Time employed about 1,200 people. Big Time designs and manufactures high-end computer systems that sell in the $500,000 to $6,000,000 range. Big Time’s products are sophisticated and complex, and the working atmosphere is highly technical. The engineering department is the largest and most dominant department. Engineers are in management positions throughout the company, including top-level management. Due to the sophistication and complexity of their products, employees in marketing, customer service, and technical publications are required to have strong technical backgrounds; many have engineering or computer science degrees. The technical publications department employed 14 people. This included the manager, two senior writers (Mark Samson and Chris Murray), seven writers, one technical editor (Colton Hamrick), and three editorial assistants. The manager had a business degree and had been working in the technical publications field for 12 years. The senior writers had four-year engineering degrees; the other seven writers had engineering degrees, computer science degrees, or two-year associate’s degrees in a technical field. The technical editor had an English degree and an associate’s degree in electronics, and the editorial assistants had English or liberal arts degre.

Assignment 1 Organizing HR ProjectsIn order to effect a more ce.docx
Assignment 1: Organizing HR Projects
In order to effect a more centralized model of delivering Human Resources services, there are core project functions that must be undertaken to ensure success as well as ascertaining that all parties are motivated to working with the new model. Establishing a new project team requires orientation to the overall goals and objectives in a bid to ensure that every team member is well aware of both intermediate and final goals. This will act as a guidance to the team making processes and functions easier. On the other hand, successful implementation requires strategic planning which is about allocation of resources, planning, and scheduling in a manner that optimizes the available resources and performing within the budget and the timeline (Neluheni, Pretorius & Ukpere, 2014). In this respect, it is the duty of the project manager or leader to guide and oversee the various processes and activities in a bid to ensure that the desired goals and objectives are being achieved.
The Statement of Overall Importance
When implementing the project, the overall steps of strategic planning are important to start, progress, and finish of the project. There are distinct steps such as vision where the overall goals and desired outcomes are communicated to the parties involved in the accomplishment of the task. Other steps such as planning also highlights the importance of laying down the strategy for attaining various tasks where resources are allocated optimally in a manner that avoids wastage. As a project leader, it is highly important that strategic planning is undertaken. In the field of project management, studies have shown that failure to effectively plan is one of the major contributors to failure especially when it comes to performing within the deadline and budget (Kerzner, 2013). A project manager must be able to put in place a plan that has goals and objectives that must be communicated to the concerned parties such as the team members. Actually, it is deemed best practice when a leader involves other parties such as team members in formulating a plan which improves the diversity of the decisions made.
The steps provided in the texts is highly important to the project. It is imperative to note that project management is nowadays strategic meaning that it must align with overall strategic direction of the organization. Majority of organizations are currently funding projects that are seen to have a direct influence on the strategic direction of the organization. For instance, in this case, it can be seen that the goal is to ensure easier and more efficient management of human resources which have become a strategic tool as opposed to a supporting function it has been over the previous decades. In essence, the strategic planning process will help outline goals, communicate the plans, and strategize on how various tasks and processes will be accomplished in line with desired goals.

Assignment 1: More about the task
Task
From the Unit Information: “The design of environmental studies is without exception a compromise between
cost and information. This translates almost directly into a balance between Type I and Type II errors. Define
Type I and Type II errors, as the relate to environmental studies, and discuss the differing importance and
implications of these two kinds of problems. Use examples of different kinds of monitoring situations (i.e.
objectives) in your essay.
Assessment criteria
Definition: 20% of mark
Assessed on the basis of:
· the clarity of the definition,
· the completeness of the definition, and
· the accuracy of the definition.
Discussion of Type I & II errors: 40% for each type
Assessed on the basis of:
· the range of examples used,
· the validity of the examples used,
· the way in which the examples are used to display how the effects of the errors vary in different
circumstances, and
· the way in which the examples are used to display how the significance of the errors varies in dif-
ferent circumstances.
More about the first part of the essay: the definition
The Study Guide, tapes and readings actually discuss the nature of Type I and II errors in some depth. In
this part of the essay I am asking you to translate this discussion into your own words and, by doing this,
convince me that you really understand the nature of these errors and how they arise. The three assessment
criteria for this part of the essay focus on what I think is crucial here.
· The clarity of your definition. Can I easily understand what you have written and what you mean?
You usually need to understand something fairly well to be able to explain it clearly.
· The completeness of your definition. Does your definition, and discussion, cover all the important
issues? It is important here not to go “overboard”. For instance (and I’ll give you this tip for free),
one issue that is relevant to Type II errors is power. But, while it is appropriate to consider power,
an extended discussion of what affects power is not.
· The accuracy of your definition. Simply, is what you have written correct? It would, for instance, not
be correct to state that the chance of a Type I error was influenced by the cost of the instruments
used to collect the data!
I’ve said this before but it is important enough to be worth repeating: this section of the essay is worth only
20% so 20 marks is the most you can get, regardless of how good your definition is. Submitting a five page
essay, with four pages devoted to the definition, is not likely to be a successful strategy!
More about the second part of the essay: the examples
This is the main part of the essay. In the past, I’ve been hesitant to provide examples because I didn’t want
to steer people’s thinking in particular directions. This year I’ve decided to include an example (although a
very silly one) to give you a bit more guidance.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Operation Blue Star - Saka Neela Tara
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Assignment 1 LASA 2— Corporate ComplianceYou are a corporate comp.docx
- 1. Assignment 1: LASA 2— Corporate Compliance You are a corporate compliance officer for a hospital. You are also a feature writer for The Medical Reporter , an online health magazine. The editor asks you to write an 8- 10 page feature story about the steps you should take when fraud and abuse cases are reported to a facility. This is very timely as you recently received a call on your “hotline” regarding a potential fraud and abuse issue. The caller indicated that Dr. Greedy was billing for services that had not been provided. You are in danger of losing reimbursement for Medicare and Medicaid programs if this behavior is not stopped. Your feature should address the ethical and moral components that healthcare providers and healthcare facilities face with fraud and abuse issues. Your research should include the following aspects: How to conduct an investigation. It should include the following elements: Reviewing the initial complaint: What are the items you should look for in a compliant to determine validity? Notifying the appropriate upper management of the complaint unless they are implicated in the complaint: What are the steps to take to determine who is involved? Obtaining additional information as necessary and developing a plan for the investigation: What other items are important to the investigation? Conducting interviews with staff, residents and/or management: Delineate the types of questions to ask in the interview. Determining if the allegations are substantiated or unsubstantiated: Identify criteria to determine if substantiated or unsubstantiated. How to develop a correction action plan. The plan may suggest:
- 2. A recommendation for a subsequent audit or follow-up to the complaint and determination of when this is necessary. A recommendation to refund any overpayments to federal government, insurance company or individual payer and when that may be the best course of action.
