Assignment:
Now you try it!! Develop your own SWOT for the following:
HCA was founded in 1968, in Nashville, Tennessee by Dr. Thomas F. Frist, Sr., Jack C. Massey and Dr. Thomas F. Frist, Jr.. Frist Sr. is the father of former U.S. Senate majority leader Bill Frist. Milton Johnson is the CEO of HCA.
The first hospital that HCA owned was Park View Hospital, near downtown Nashville.[3] The small group of founders worked out of a small house not far from Park View for the first few years of operation.[4]
In 1969, HCA conducted its first Initial Public Offering (IPO) on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).[3] As HCA grew, the small house that served as office space for the company no longer provided enough space. In 1972, the company built a new office to house corporate operations behind Centennial Park in Nashville.[5]
Parkview Hospital circa 1968
Growth & merger
During the 1970s and 1980s the corporation went through a tremendous growth period acquiring hundreds of hospitals across the United States which numbered 255 owned and 208 which HCA managed.
In 1988, the hospital operator was acquired for $5.3 billion in a management buyout led by Chairman Thomas F. Frist, Jr.[6] and completed a successful initial public offering in the 1990s. In 1993 HCA merged with Louisville-based Columbia Hospital Corporation to form Columbia/HCA. In April 1998, Birmingham, Alabama-based HealthSouth Corporation announced it was acquiring the majority of HCA's surgical division.
Fraud & investigation
In 1997, the company was part of a fraud investigation initiated by a number of governmental departments in the United States. Later that year, Rick Scott resigned as Chairman. He later became the 45th and current Governor of Florida. The case was settled in 2002 at a reported cost of $2 billion to HCA. This made it the largest fraud settlement in US history.
On March 19, 1997, investigators from the FBI, the Internal Revenue Service and the Department of Health and Human Services served search warrants at Columbia/HCA facilities in El Paso and on dozens of doctors with suspected ties to the company.[7] Following the raids, the Columbia/HCA board of directors forced Rick Scott to resign as chairman and CEO.[8] He was paid a settlement of $9.88 million and left with 10 million shares of stock worth over $350 million, mostly from his initial investment.[9][10] In 1999, Columbia/HCA changed its name back to HCA, Inc. HCA also admitted fraudulently billing Medicare and other health programs by inflating the seriousness of diagnoses and to giving doctors partnerships in company hospitals as a kickback for the doctors referring patients to HCA. They filed false cost reports, fraudulently billing Medicare for home health care workers, and paid kickbacks in the sale of home health agencies and to doctors to refer patients. In addition, they gave doctors "loans" never intended to be repaid, free rent, free office furniture, and free drugs from hospital p.

Nonprofit Hospitals, Once
For the Poor, Strike It Rich
With Tax Breaks,
They Outperform
For-Profit Rivals

Nonprofit hospitals, originally set up to serve the poor, have transformed themselves into profit machines. And as the money rolls in, the large tax breaks they receive are drawing fire.
Riding gains from investment portfolios and enjoying the pricing power that came from a decade of mergers, many nonprofit hospitals have seen earnings soar in recent years. The combined net income of the 50 largest nonprofit hospitals jumped nearly eight-fold to $4.27 billion between 2001 and 2006, according to a Wall Street Journal analysis of data from the American Hospital Directory. AHD, an information-service company, compiles data that hospitals report to the federal government.

/public/resources/documents/info-HOSPITAL0804.html
The Cleveland Clinic swung from a loss to net income of $229 million during that period. No fewer than 25 nonprofit hospitals or hospital systems now earn more than $250 million a year. One nonprofit hospital system, Ascension Health, has a treasure chest of $7.4 billion -- more than many large, publicly traded companies.
Nonprofits, which account for a majority of U.S. hospitals, are faring even better than their for-profit counterparts: 77% of the 2,033 U.S. nonprofit hospitals are in the black, while just 61% of for-profit hospitals are profitable, according to the AHD data.
At some nonprofits, the good times are reflected in new facilities and rich executive pay. Flush with cash, Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago has rebuilt its entire campus since 1999 at a cost of more than $1 billion. In October, it opened a new women's hospital that features marble in the lobby, birthing rooms with flat-screen televisions, 1,000 works of art and a roof topped with 10,000 square feet of gardens. In 2006, Northwestern Memorial's former chief executive officer, Gary Mecklenburg, received a $16.4 million payout.
WSJ's John Carreyrou provides a tour of Chicago's non-profit Northwestern Memorial Hospital, which underwent a renovation costing more than $1 billion.
But Northwestern Memorial has been frugal in its spending on charity care, the free treatment for poor patients that nonprofit hospitals are expected to provide in return for the federal and state tax breaks they receive. In 2006, Northwestern Memorial spent $20.8 million on charity care -- less than 2% of its revenues and a fraction of what it received in tax breaks. By comparison, the hospitals run by Cook County, where Northwestern Memorial is located, spent 14% of revenues on charity care.
Northwestern Memorial says that in addition to charity care, it provides other benefits to its community, such as pioneering research in obstetrics and other areas that improve standards of care nationally.

Healthcare Fraud: Illegal Kickback Schemes in Medicare & Medicaidlawsuitlegal
The amount of medicare and medicaid fraud is staggering.
This Lawsuit Legal data snapshot exposes how healthcare kickback schemes work.
Qui tam bounties for relators can reach outrageous amounts, and it's no wonder when you look at the scale of fraud in healthcare.
The schemes run the gambit from false claims, illegal referrals, false reimbursement claims, patient referrals and purchasing decision fraud. All in the name of defrauding these lucrative government programs.
In this case we look at what the False Claims Act has to say about kickbacks, and what the law states for people who get greedy and try to break the rules.
In addition, we'll briefly touch on what qui tam whistleblowers can do to put a stop to it, if they have knowledge of fraud.
It's always worth keeping in mind the bounties paid out to relators for money recovered in government actions.
Take a look at the illegal kickbacks common in the healthcare industry, who the most common offenders are, and what to look out for here.

The Idea of Craft Asks the class to try to define the word “craft.” What items do the students associate with the word “craft”? Are these items cheap or expensive? Does it conjure images of utilitarian goods like vases, pots, and rugs or items that are meant to be appreciated as beautiful objects? What is the difference between fine art, decorative arts, crafts, and design? During the Renaissance, craft objects were degraded as mere handiwork, not designed for serious contemplation or for aesthetic value. This distinction did not exist in other parts of the world, such as in Japan where a teacup could be considered a priceless work of art. How did the Industrial Revolution impact attitudes towards crafts and design?
Japanese Tea Ceremony The tea ceremony, a ritual performance in which the audience takes part, is a unique aspect of Japanese culture.

At its core, pathology is the study of disease. Diseases occur for many reasons. But some, such as cystic fibrosis and Parkinson’s Disease, occur because of alterations that prevent cells from functioning normally.
Understanding of signals and symptoms of alterations in cellular processes is a critical step in diagnosis and treatment of many diseases. For the Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN), this understanding can also help educate patients and guide them through their treatment plans.
For this Discussion, you examine a case study and explain the disease that is suggested. You examine the symptoms reported and explain the cells that are involved and potential alterations and impacts.
To prepare:
By Day 1 of this week, you will be assigned to a specific scenario for this Discussion. Please see the “Course Announcements” section of the classroom for your assignment from your Instructor.
By Day 3 of Week 1
Post an explanation of the disease highlighted in the scenario you were provided. Include the following in your explanation:
The role genetics plays in the disease.
Why the patient is presenting with the specific symptoms described.
The physiologic response to the stimulus presented in the scenario and why you think this response occurred.
The cells that are involved in this process.
How another characteristic (e.g., gender, genetics) would change your response.
I will be adding a discussion that will need a reply after. I will add 2 of them but at a different time depending on when they are availabe.
Julia's discussion
In this scenario, it appears that a 16-year-old boy had an allergic reaction to amoxicillin. While this is unfortunate and was probably unavoidable, the provider could have reduced the risk of a medical emergency by asking a few questions. Genetics is important as familial tendency to develop allergic conditions is thought to have a genetic link. In an article published in
PubMed
, the authors wrote “The allergic diseases are complex phenotypes for which a strong genetic basis has been firmly established.” (Ortiz & Barnes, 2014). It does not say in the scenario, but family medical history could have identified an increased risk for this child, but the order was most appropriate given the diagnosis of Strep throat and the available history.
According to the required reading this week, the clinical manifestations of an allergic reaction are related to histamine being released into the body McCance, K. & Huether, S., 2019) . Acute allergic reactions are mediated by IgE antibodies and arises rapidly after exposure. Symptoms include hypotension, bronchospasm, angioedema (swelling), and urticaria (itching), all reported reactions in this scenario. Acute allergic reactions result from the immune system identifying a substance, in this case, amoxicillin as dangerous as a result of previous exposure (Bhattacharya, 2010). After exposure, there are antibody receptors for that substance in the body, another .

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

1. Assignment:
Now you try it!! Develop your own SWOT for the following:
HCA was founded in 1968, in Nashville, Tennessee by Dr.
Thomas F. Frist, Sr., Jack C. Massey and Dr. Thomas F. Frist,
Jr.. Frist Sr. is the father of former U.S. Senate majority leader
Bill Frist. Milton Johnson is the CEO of HCA.
The first hospital that HCA owned was Park View Hospital,
near downtown Nashville.[3] The small group of founders
worked out of a small house not far from Park View for the first
few years of operation.[4]
In 1969, HCA conducted its first Initial Public Offering (IPO)
on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).[3] As HCA grew,
the small house that served as office space for the company no
longer provided enough space. In 1972, the company built a new
office to house corporate operations behind Centennial Park in
Nashville.[5]
Parkview Hospital circa 1968
Growth & merger
During the 1970s and 1980s the corporation went through a
tremendous growth period acquiring hundreds of hospitals
across the United States which numbered 255 owned and 208
which HCA managed.
In 1988, the hospital operator was acquired for $5.3 billion in a
management buyout led by Chairman Thomas F. Frist, Jr.[6] and
completed a successful initial public offering in the 1990s. In
1993 HCA merged with Louisville-based Columbia Hospital
Corporation to form Columbia/HCA. In April 1998,
2. Birmingham, Alabama-based HealthSouth Corporation
announced it was acquiring the majority of HCA's surgical
division.
Fraud & investigation
In 1997, the company was part of a fraud investigation initiated
by a number of governmental departments in the United States.
Later that year, Rick Scott resigned as Chairman. He later
became the 45th and current Governor of Florida. The case was
settled in 2002 at a reported cost of $2 billion to HCA. This
made it the largest fraud settlement in US history.
On March 19, 1997, investigators from the FBI, the Internal
Revenue Service and the Department of Health and Human
Services served search warrants at Columbia/HCA facilities in
El Paso and on dozens of doctors with suspected ties to the
company.[7] Following the raids, the Columbia/HCA board of
directors forced Rick Scott to resign as chairman and CEO.[8]
He was paid a settlement of $9.88 million and left with 10
million shares of stock worth over $350 million, mostly from
his initial investment.[9][10] In 1999, Columbia/HCA changed
3. its name back to HCA, Inc. HCA also admitted fraudulently
billing Medicare and other health programs by inflating the
seriousness of diagnoses and to giving doctors partnerships in
company hospitals as a kickback for the doctors referring
patients to HCA. They filed false cost reports, fraudulently
billing Medicare for home health care workers, and paid
kickbacks in the sale of home health agencies and to doctors to
refer patients. In addition, they gave doctors "loans" never
intended to be repaid, free rent, free office furniture, and free
drugs from hospital pharmacies.[11][12]
After Scott stepped down, Frist Jr. returned as chairman and
CEO. He called on longtime friend and colleague Jack O.
Bovender, Jr. to help him turn the company around. Frist and
Bovender, who became CEO in 2001, pulled off what Fortune
magazine called a remarkable corporate rescue.[13] In
settlements reached in 2000 and 2002, Columbia/HCA pleaded
guilty to 14 felonies. They admitted systematically
overcharging the government by claiming marketing costs as
reimbursable, striking illegal deals with home care agencies,
and filing false data about use of hospital space.
Corporate office in 1972
In late 2002, HCA agreed to pay the U.S. government $631
million, plus interest, and pay $17.5 million to state Medicaid
agencies, in addition to $250 million paid up to that point to
resolve outstanding Medicare expense claims.[14] In all, civil
lawsuits cost HCA more than $2 billion to settle, by far the
largest fraud settlement in US history.[15] The name
subsequently reverted to "Hospital Corporation of America."
HCA abandoned the use of its name in its home market and
instead promotes its Nashville hospitals under the TriStar brand.
On July 1, 2005, Senator Frist sold all of his HCA shares two
weeks before disappointing earnings sent the stock on a 9-point
4. plunge. Frist claimed that he sold his shares to avoid the
appearance of a conflict of interest if he ran for president. Other
executives sold their stock at the same time. Shareholders sued
HCA, alleging that the company made false claims about its
profits to drive up the price, which then fell when the company
reported disappointing financial results. Eleven of HCA's senior
officers were sued for accounting fraud and insider trading. [16]
HCA settled the lawsuit in August 2007, agreeing to pay $20
million to the shareholders.[17]
Recent history
In 2006, Kohlberg Kravis Roberts and Bain Capital, together
with Merrill Lynch and the Frist family (which had founded the
company) completed a $31.6 billion acquisition of the hospital
company, making the company privately held again 17 years
after it had first been taken private in a management buyout. At
the time of its announcement, the HCA buyout was the first of
several to set new records for the largest, eclipsing the 1989
buyout of RJR Nabisco. It would later be surpassed by the
buyouts of Equity Office Properties and TXU.[18]
On Friday May 7, 2010, HCA announced that the corporation
would once again go public with an expected $4.6-billion IPO.
As of 2012, HCA operated 162 hospitals and 113 freestanding
surgery centers located in 20 U.S. states and London.[2] The
London sites include The Harley Street Clinic, The Lister
Hospital, London Bridge Hospital, The Portland Hospital for
Women and Children, The Princess Grace Hospital and The
Wellington Hospital. In July 2007, HCA sold its hospitals in
5. Switzerland.[19]
The Princess Grace Hospital specializes in breast cancer and
surgery, aided by Professor Kefah Mokbel and Dr. Nick Perry
who, in 2005, founded The London Breast Institute.
HCA Holdings Inc. (HCA:US), the biggest for-profit U.S.
hospital chain by patient volume, raised its 2014 earnings
forecast and said it would announce second-quarter earnings
that are higher than analyst estimates.
HCA expects 2014 earnings excluding certain items of $4 to
$4.25 per share, compared with a previous forecast of $3.45 to
$3.75 per share, the Nashville, Tennessee-based company said
in a statement today. Second-quarter profit excluding some
items will be $1.07 per share, compared with 92 cents average
estimate of 21 analysts surveyed by Bloomberg.
The results “exceeded our internal expectations, both in terms
of our core operations and healthcare reform,” said Milton
Johnson, HCA’s chief executive officer, in a statement. HCA is
scheduled to release its full second-quarter results on July 29.
HCA expects second-quarter net income of $904 million, 12
percent above a year earlier, according to its statement.
HCA shares (HCA:US) rose 10 percent to $60.99 at 4 p.m. New
York time, the most since 2012. HCA Corporation SWOT
