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.

LESSON 16
Transition to Electronic Health Record
LECTURE NOTES
______________________________________________________________________________________
The push for the conversion from paper-based to electronic health records is clear and definite.
The mandate comes from the federal government in terms of regulatory requirements, financial
incentives, and a desire to reduce costs and improve quality. Research and experience has
indicated that a fully deployed electronic health record system will achieve these desired
outcomes. The ability to enhance the productivity of personnel is another business outcome that
health care providers will need to consider. However, there are major challenges and barriers to
achieving full implementation of interoperable electronic health records.
Costs of Care
The costs of health care in the United States are reported to be almost 17% of the gross national
product (GNP), or about $7000 per capita for every person in the country. The costs for health
care continue to rise faster than consumer inflation.
This makes the cost of h.

Unintended Consequences of Health Care ReformThe PPACA of .docx
Unintended Consequences of Health Care Reform
The PPACA of 2010 fostered new provisions for health care and the structure of health care delivery. The individual mandate to obtain insurance is one provocative provision. While this provision attempts to increase access to health care, it raises questions on how the existing system could sustain the potentially large influx of newly insured individuals.
Another provision calls for new models of health care provider organizations to ensure delivery efficiency and continuity of care. In this week’s media presentation, Dr. Kathleen White discusses the accountable care organization, which comprises a group of providers coordinating care across a variety of institutional settings. Yet becoming an accountable care organization may present a number of challenges.
This week’s Discussion builds on Week 1, continuing the examination of those societal and organizational contexts that influence health care reform. The unintended consequences of reform policy on the health care system are also considered.
To prepare:
Review this week’s media presentation and the other Learning Resources focusing on how reform may lead to improved quality, greater access, and reduced cost of care. Also think about the unintended consequences that may arise as a result.
Consider the information presented about the individual mandate and accountable care organizations. What are some questions or concerns you might have regarding the individual mandate? What are the pros and cons associated with becoming an accountable care organization?
With posting instructions in mind, select either the individual mandate or accountable care organizations as the focus of your Discussion this week.
By tomorrow Wednesday 03/07/18 BY 12pm, write a minimum of 550 words in APA format with a minimum of

Annotated Bibliography: Trends in health Services Management
Health service management involves planning, directing and coordinating medical and health services. The current trends in this profession are the patients becoming informed and wanting to participate in decision-making, new and alternate payment models, and the innovations in healthcare.
Vogenberg, F. R., &Santilli, J. (2015). Key Strategic Trends that Impact Healthcare Decision-Making and Stakeholder Roles in the New Marketplace. Am Health Drug Benefits, 15-20. Comment by Information Technology: Incorrect APA format.
Please review the comments at the end of the paper, but otherwise is a good respectable source .
The author states that the current health care market gives consumers the power to be in charge of their health because of the readily available information. This knowledge has helped the patients to engage in dialogues with doctors concerning diagnosis and treatment options. Patients are demanding to be involved in decisions of therapy options and health services. The patients also want to make decisions concerning the amounts to spend on the health services making them talk with their physicians about prescription options and costs. The health services managers can use this current trend to offer personalized health treatment and advice the patients accordingly depending on the treatments they prefer and the amounts they are willing to spend on healthcare. Comment by Information Technology: Sentence structure is confusing. Consider re-phrasing. Comment by Information Technology: The analytical paragraph is missing. See my comment at the end the paper
Fowler, F. J., Levin, C. A., &Sepucha, K. R. (2011). Informing And Involving Patients To Improve The Quality Of Medical Decisions. Health Aff, 699-706. Comment by Information Technology: Non -APA
In the past, physicians made decisions with little participation of the patients. The article looks at the issues surrounding patient involvement in decision-making and the steps for improving the approach of making decisions. The current trend requires the interaction of patients and doctors to have the decisions match the patient’s aims and anxieties. However, there are outcomes to both the patients and the physicians when the subjects become more actively included in arriving at decisions about health care. In most cases, the patient may not want the most efficient and safest treatment options.The healthcare managers require understanding this trend so that their institutions give the right information to their patients and allow them to give their opinion.

Many people throughout the United States face significant barrie.docx
Many people throughout the United States face significant barriers to health care access. As policy makers and other stakeholders consider ways to address challenges related to access to care, one key area of focus involves those who lack insurance or have inadequate coverage through insurance. Submit a PowerPoint presentation of 12-15 slides including 200-300 word speaker notes in which you address the following:
Consider the different stakeholders and perspectives impacted by health policy. How does access to insurance differ from access to care? Provide 1 specific example from your personal or professional life or from current events to support your response, and explain why this distinction is important.
How did the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) of 2010 address access to insurance? How does current enacted legislation impact access to care? What do you see as the ultimate goal of expanding insurance coverage?
If access to insurance coverage and medical care are increased through health care reform, what unanticipated consequences might arise? List the consequences associated with health stakeholders and perspectives.
Note:
Your presentation must be formatted in APA style with 6 quality references, 4 of which are peer-reviewed sources from health care journals. References should be placed on the Reference slide at the end of the presentation.

Develop a brief country risk assessment.
Determine the political, economic, social, and capital risks associated with doing business in China. What are the most important factors to consider? Why?
After years of keeping the Yuan pegged to the US dollar, the Chinese have recently allowed it to float freely in international currency exchange rate markets. Many economists believe that keeping the Yuan pegged to the US dollar has caused it to be undervalued by 30 to 50 percent. Discuss what impact a revaluation of the Yuan might have on US multinationals doing business there, on China’s exports, and on Chinese citizens’ standard of living. What impact would a revaluation have on Chinese inflation and on purchasing power parity? Explain.

LESSON 16
Transition to Electronic Health Record
LECTURE NOTES
______________________________________________________________________________________
The push for the conversion from paper-based to electronic health records is clear and definite.
The mandate comes from the federal government in terms of regulatory requirements, financial
incentives, and a desire to reduce costs and improve quality. Research and experience has
indicated that a fully deployed electronic health record system will achieve these desired
outcomes. The ability to enhance the productivity of personnel is another business outcome that
health care providers will need to consider. However, there are major challenges and barriers to
achieving full implementation of interoperable electronic health records.
Costs of Care
The costs of health care in the United States are reported to be almost 17% of the gross national
product (GNP), or about $7000 per capita for every person in the country. The costs for health
care continue to rise faster than consumer inflation.
This makes the cost of h.

Unintended Consequences of Health Care ReformThe PPACA of .docx
Unintended Consequences of Health Care Reform
The PPACA of 2010 fostered new provisions for health care and the structure of health care delivery. The individual mandate to obtain insurance is one provocative provision. While this provision attempts to increase access to health care, it raises questions on how the existing system could sustain the potentially large influx of newly insured individuals.
Another provision calls for new models of health care provider organizations to ensure delivery efficiency and continuity of care. In this week’s media presentation, Dr. Kathleen White discusses the accountable care organization, which comprises a group of providers coordinating care across a variety of institutional settings. Yet becoming an accountable care organization may present a number of challenges.
This week’s Discussion builds on Week 1, continuing the examination of those societal and organizational contexts that influence health care reform. The unintended consequences of reform policy on the health care system are also considered.
To prepare:
Review this week’s media presentation and the other Learning Resources focusing on how reform may lead to improved quality, greater access, and reduced cost of care. Also think about the unintended consequences that may arise as a result.
Consider the information presented about the individual mandate and accountable care organizations. What are some questions or concerns you might have regarding the individual mandate? What are the pros and cons associated with becoming an accountable care organization?
With posting instructions in mind, select either the individual mandate or accountable care organizations as the focus of your Discussion this week.
By tomorrow Wednesday 03/07/18 BY 12pm, write a minimum of 550 words in APA format with a minimum of

Annotated Bibliography: Trends in health Services Management
Health service management involves planning, directing and coordinating medical and health services. The current trends in this profession are the patients becoming informed and wanting to participate in decision-making, new and alternate payment models, and the innovations in healthcare.
Vogenberg, F. R., &Santilli, J. (2015). Key Strategic Trends that Impact Healthcare Decision-Making and Stakeholder Roles in the New Marketplace. Am Health Drug Benefits, 15-20. Comment by Information Technology: Incorrect APA format.
Please review the comments at the end of the paper, but otherwise is a good respectable source .
The author states that the current health care market gives consumers the power to be in charge of their health because of the readily available information. This knowledge has helped the patients to engage in dialogues with doctors concerning diagnosis and treatment options. Patients are demanding to be involved in decisions of therapy options and health services. The patients also want to make decisions concerning the amounts to spend on the health services making them talk with their physicians about prescription options and costs. The health services managers can use this current trend to offer personalized health treatment and advice the patients accordingly depending on the treatments they prefer and the amounts they are willing to spend on healthcare. Comment by Information Technology: Sentence structure is confusing. Consider re-phrasing. Comment by Information Technology: The analytical paragraph is missing. See my comment at the end the paper
Fowler, F. J., Levin, C. A., &Sepucha, K. R. (2011). Informing And Involving Patients To Improve The Quality Of Medical Decisions. Health Aff, 699-706. Comment by Information Technology: Non -APA
In the past, physicians made decisions with little participation of the patients. The article looks at the issues surrounding patient involvement in decision-making and the steps for improving the approach of making decisions. The current trend requires the interaction of patients and doctors to have the decisions match the patient’s aims and anxieties. However, there are outcomes to both the patients and the physicians when the subjects become more actively included in arriving at decisions about health care. In most cases, the patient may not want the most efficient and safest treatment options.The healthcare managers require understanding this trend so that their institutions give the right information to their patients and allow them to give their opinion.

Module 5 Assignment 1: LASA 2—Risk Management Applications
While there are many factors that lead to an organization's success or failure, it is important to identify the risk associated with the endeavor—financial or nonfinancial. Once the risks have been identified, management has a responsibility to develop measures to mitigate those risks.
Tasks:
Use the publicly-traded company you chose in
M1 Assignment 3
and imagine it has made a strategic decision to start doing business in China. Using the discussion on page 192 of your textbook as a template, do the following:
Develop a brief country risk assessment.
Determine the political, economic, social, and capital risks associated with doing business in China. What are the most important factors to consider? Why?
After years of keeping the Yuan pegged to the US dollar, the Chinese have recently allowed it to float freely in international currency exchange rate markets. Many economists believe that keeping the Yuan pegged to the US dollar has caused it to be undervalued by 30 to 50 percent. Discuss what impact a revaluation of the Yuan might have on US multinationals doing business there, on China’s exports, and on Chinese citizens’ standard of living. What impact would a revaluation have on Chinese inflation and on purchasing power parity? Explain.
Your paper should be about 2,000 words.

Nine-year-old Wanda's teacher notices that for the past few weeks, Wanda has not been talking to her friends and is always sitting alone in a corner. After talking to Wanda's friends, the teacher finds out that Wanda's sixteen-year-old brother was killed in a gang fight two months ago and her parents have since separated. The teacher talks to her friend Daphne, a counselor, to see if there is anything she can do about Wanda. She wants to know if there is any way in which children and families affected by exposure to violence can be assisted with emotional impact of these events. The teacher also asks Daphne, in the role of a counselor, to call Wanda's parents to see if they would be willing to talk with her about the death of their son, their separation, and Wanda's behavior at school. Daphne is not employed or affiliated with the school.
What would be Daphne's role, as a counselor, in helping the teacher?
What do you see as important roles of a counselor working in a community?
What are the ethical responsibilities that counselors and human services professionals hold toward the community? When answering this question identify the ethical code number and definition, using your own words, of the ethical responsibilities of these professionals.

Text Response Paper
Symbolism in Literature
A basic definition of a “symbol” is provided by teacherweb:
Symbol
: using an image to represent an idea. (Ex. Storms often symbolize impending disaster, red rose=love, dove=peace, black cat=bad luck, etc.). This is often accomplished in literature through
metaphors
and
similes.
Wordnet defines the term
“metaphor”
as:
(n)
Metaphor
- a figure of speech in which an expression is used to refer to something that it does not literally denote in order to suggest a similarity.
His heart was ripped from him by her cruelty and refusal to be his date at prom. His universe was collapsing around him, pieces thudding into his head and crushing all motive and happy thought.
Wordnet defines the term
“simile” as:
(n)
Simile
a figure of speech that expresses a resemblance between things of different kinds, usually formed with `like' or `as.'
He wept like a little girl who lost her favorite Barbie. He vowed, next time, to fight like a tiger to win her love or at least a date.
(a simile typically offers a comparison signal, i.e. “like” or “as.”)
The novel
Montana, 1948
by Larry Watson is filled with powerful symbolism. Your assignment for this essay is to choose one of the Review questions (included here) and write 3 page response. Be sure to: explain the symbolism, using details from the novel to illustrate. Then, explain to the reader if and why this is still relevant today.

CRJ 307: Police, Society, and Community Service
Essays:
Police deviance is said to be behavior that does not conform to the standards of norms or expectations. Identify and discuss the three major sources of those standards. Is one source more important than the others?
Worden identified five ways in which police officers are different from one another. List and discuss those five ways.
Contrast socialization theory and pre-dispositional theory.
Module 5
Chapter 8 Summary
Chapter 8 looks at police behavior. Police behavior may be described from a universalistic perspective or a particularistic perspective. The universalistic perspective examines the ways in which police are similar. The particularistic perspective examines the way in which police differ from each other.
The universalistic perspective approaches police behavior from three perspectives. The sociological perspective emphasizes the social context in which the police are hired and trained. The psychological perspective examines the nature of the police personality. The organizational perspective is concerned with the formal and informal factors of the department.
Particularistic perspectives examine the different policing styles discovered through research. Worden (1989) suggests that there are five ways in which police differ from one another. Police are different in their view of human nature, role orientation, and attitudes toward legal and departmental restrictions. Worden also found that the beliefs and behavior of the police are influenced by their clientele. The final difference involves the relationship between management and peer group support.
Socialization theory maintains that it is the work experience and the peers that determine police behavior. The formal socialization takes place during training the new officer. The informal socialization takes places as the new officer interacts with experienced fellow officers.
Pre-dispositional theory states that the values and characteristics the officer had before employment are brought with him or her to the job. Research indicates that police have different values from the rest of society. Racial and ethnic differences, education, and police socialization does little to changes pre-dispositional values.
There have been numerous studies conducted looking at police behavior. This chapter recognizes that these studies are just as important today as they were decades ago. Westley's
Violence and the Police
(1970) discussed in-group solidarity among the police and the code of silence found to exist in policing. Skolnick's
Justice Without Trial
(1966) examined the danger in police work. Skolnick termed the person the police officer thinks is potentially dangerous the symbolic assailant.
Wilson's
Variety of Police Behavior
(1968) may be seen as the most important study of police behavior. Wilson identified three styles of policing. In the wat.

Preamble
Human services is a profession developing in
response to and in anticipation of the direction of
human needs and human problems in the late twentieth
century. Characterized particularly by an appreciation
of human beings in all of their diversity,
human services offer assistance to its clients within
the context of their community and environment.
Human service professionals and those who educate

their own professional growth.
The ethical guidelines presented are a set of standards
of conduct which the human service professionals
and educators consider in ethical and
professional decision making. It is hoped that these
guidelines will be of assistance when human service
professionals and educators are challenged by difficult
ethical dilemmas.
Although ethical codes are not legal documents,
they may be used to assist in the adjudication of
issues related to ethical human service behavior.
Section I—Standards of Human Service Professionals
Human service professionals function in many
ways and carry out many roles. They enter into
professional-client relationships with individuals,
families, groups and communities who are all referred
to as “clients” in these standards. Among their roles
are caregiver, case manager, broker, teacher/educator,
behavior changer, consultant, outreach professional,
mobilizer, advocate, community planner, community
change organizer, evaluator and administrator
(SREB, 1967). The following standards are written
with these multifaceted roles in mind.
The Human Service Professional’s Responsibility
to Clients
STATEMENT 1
Human service professionals
negotiate with clients the purpose, goals, and nature
of the helping relationship prior to its onset as well as
inform clients of the limitations of the proposed
relationship.
STATEMENT 2
Human service professionals
respect the integrity and welfare of the client at all
times. Each client is treated with respect, acceptance,
and dignity.

Moose, a former professional athlete, now supplements his income by .docx
Moose, a former professional athlete, now supplements his income by signing autographs at collectors’ shows. Unfortunately, Moose has not been conscientious about reporting all of this income on his tax return. Now, the IRS has charged him with additional taxes of $80,000 due to negligence in his record-keeping and $20,000 due to an intent to defraud the U.S. government of income taxes. No criminal fraud charges are brought against Moose. The District Court finds, by a preponderance of the evidence, that only half of the $20,000 underpayment was due to Moose’s fraudulent action; the remainder was due to mere negligence. Compute the accuracy-related and civil fraud penalties in this matter.
