INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS HEALTH INSURANCE
This synthesis paper is in partial fulfillment for the requirements for the
MSA 698 Directed Administrative Portfolio
Executive summary
The purpose of this research is to solve the problems international students have with health insurance or healthcare in the United States. This portfolio is comprised of four separate papers that examined all of the various strategies and approaches that can be adopted by foreign students to select an appropriate health insurance policy. The paper covers all of these approaches in great detail, also providing (a) recommendations and strategic planning techniques, which should be adopted by the students in order to assess the value of the health insurance policy they are planning to purchase (MSA 603), (b) the ways different ethnic groups perceive health insurance or quality healthcare, while evaluating and hypothesizing the way cultural variables interact in shaping the individual’s perception within an organization and society (MSA604), (c) strategies for effective communication most important in helping patients and doctors communicate (MSA601), and (d) the evaluation model in financial performance in healthcare or in hospitals (MSA602). In each of the papers, the researchers used strategic planning projects to help improve the operations and services offered by health insurance and healthcare systems. Regardless of the conclusions found through this research, more follow-up studies should be conducted that consider the continued development and corresponding effectiveness.

Problems Facing International Students with Health Insurance Companies
in the USA Healthcare System
Health insurance and healthcare are significant to international students in the United States. International students should receive health insurance when they come to the U.S., because without the benefits that health insurance provides, outstanding medical bills can lead to financial.

Patients who have complex health needs require not only medical. But also social services and support from a variety of caregivers and providers. Facility managers who are part of care coordination could assist patient in receiving optimal care by addressing the challenges in coordinating care for these patients, and offer programmatic changes and policies that help deliver the best services to all patients.
Facility managers can come up with strategic plans based on prior data and make necessary changes based on preexisting conditions. “Patient- centered, comprehensive, coordinated, and accessible care that continuously improved through a systems-based approach to quality and safety” (AHRQ, 2012) are what’s needed to achieve the highest quality care possible in any health care facility.
Patient centered care can’t be achieved with providers only. It requires team work and collaboration among all stakeholders. To improve the quality and safety of patients, health care facility managers can work hand and hand with the coordinated team to provide a system based approach by drawing on decision-support tools, taking into account patient experience, and using population health management approach. Patient preference and needs on what aspects of care to be improved.

As a facility manager, and part of the care coordination team, I would look into models of care that would assist our situation. With the Affordable Care Act in place, there are accountable care organizations (ACOs), which provide models of care (“Promise,” 2013). There are many different definitions and perspectives on care coordination, but all lead to the goal of meeting patient needs and providing adequate healthcare (“Care,” 2014).
Care coordination is essential because each patient can interact with a variety of professionals each visit. For example, for a routine physical appointment, the patient could meet with the scheduling staff, medical assistants, nurses, doctors, pharmacists, and the billing staff. If each one of these member fails to coordinate as a whole, the patient could be harmed or neglected. As a care coordinator, I would be responsible for discussing an individualized care plan with each patient and ensuring that they understand their responsibilities. All barriers should be identified, such as financial, social (language), psychological, and anything that would effect the patient from following their correct plan of care and interacting with the staff (“Promise,” 2013). Another key point is to ensure the medical staff has reviewed the patient’s medical records and ensure that everyone is on the same page. These are just a few examples, because each case is different and each patient will have different needs. .

Abstract
Case studies which are done in the field of medicine work towards improving the health of the population. There are some of the parts contained in case studies which are abstract, results, limitations of results, conclusions, and applications. The common statistical methods used in research are descriptive numerical and qualitative thematic analyses. The results of the studies show that equal participation of individuals in the health sector will help boost public health. Limitations of results are that although some strategies may work towards improving health sector, not all of them are effective.
Public health is an important sector in any country for it directly affects the economy of the nation. There need to be certain ways which should be employed with the aim of supporting and improving public health. In this paper, I am going to examine 4 contemporary peer-reviewed articles which employ quantitative or mixed-methods concerning ways on how to improve the health of the public. The interest of the paper is to aid in achieving the best impact in public health sector via using programs which will improve health outcomes drastically. Enhancement of public health will in return help to improve the well-being of populations across the world. Public health awareness on how to avoid unhealthy lifestyles should be created.
In the articles, samples and populations used were appropriate for it showed the real representative of the population at hand. All the samples used in the 4-contemporary peer-reviewed articles fulfilled the rule of thumb hence making them appropriate. The samples used were suitable for they were used to estimate the population parameters for it stood for the entire inhabitants. The samples used were larger but not too large to consume more resources of money and time. The larger sample has helped to produce accurate results making the samples valid and appropriate. The appropriateness of the samples used in these articles, it has been proved via usage of target variance. In using target variance an estimate to be derived from the model eventually attained.
Each article which has been used includes having results, limitations of results, conclusions, and applications. The first contemporary peer-reviewed article is entitled, Refugee women’s involvements of maternity-care facilities in Canada: a methodical review using a description synthesis written by Gina MA Higginbottom, Myfanwy Morgan, Miranda Alexandre, Yvonne Chiu, Joan Forgeron, Deb Kocay and Rubina Barolia. The article was published 11 February 2015. The results show that there needs to have a healthier understanding of the aspects that produce discrepancies in availability, adequacy, and outcomes during parenthood care (Higginbottom, Morgan, Alexandre, Chiu, Forg ...

Manipulation Scenario
Patricia Wilkes works as a correctional officer at Corcoran California state prison. Corcoran is a high security institution that houses some of the most violent male offenders. Patricia has worked at the institution for four years and has encountered two attacks against her from two separate inmates over a year span. Patricia is freshly returned back to work after being off for a week due to her injuries from her latest attack. The attack involved her being pushed down by an inmate, causing a sprain arm. Feeling vulnerable Patricia became friends with an inmate who witnessed the attack and promised to issue protection if she sneaks in contraband for him. She is conflicted but, because she is afraid; she agrees to do it.

HeadnoteGovernments with universal healthcare systems are increa.docxisaachwrensch
Headnote
Governments with universal healthcare systems are increasingly bemoaning the costs of their systems and the need to contain these costs if affordable healthcare services are to be sustained into the future. In a bid to reduce the costs of healthcare, politicians and bureaucrats have championed the need for reform. Although avoiding the language of rationing, the kinds of 'reforms' being championed (eg. greater government regulation of universal health coverage, reducing reimbursement for medical costs, cutting funding to public hospitals) seem however, to be more concerned with restricting universal healthcare coverage, rather than reforming it.
The rhetoric of healthcare reforms has also had a political ideological objective shifting the provision of and accountability for public healthcare services to private sector providers. This objective has been pursued despite experts warning that such a shift will ultimately lead (and in some cases has already led) to inequities and unjust disparities in access to healthcare and related health outcomes, especially in vulnerable populations who cannot afford private health insurance.
Australia has not been immune from ideologically driven machinations about the sustainability of its universal healthcare scheme, ie. Medicare. Despite health expenditure in Australia reportedly reaching a record low for the period 2012-2013, there has been a political campaign of spreading false and misleading information about Medicare's sustainability (Keast 2015).This misinformation has included 'blaming' vulnerable populations (eg. an ageing demographic, the 'undeserving poor') for their allegedly disproportionate over-utilisation of public healthcare services and the need to curb this costly 'wanton' demand. What has been overlooked in this situation, however, is that a key driver of the spiraling costs of healthcare is not the over-utilisation of services by people in need, but rather 'the use of wasteful tests and treatments' prescribed by doctors (Tilburt & Cassel, 2013) together with the rising costs of drugs (driven by the business behaviours of the pharmaceutical industry) and medical technology, particularly in hospitals. Also overlooked is the problem of language and the tendency to treat the terms 'healthcare', 'hospital care', and 'medical care' as being synonymous, when they are not. Failure to distinguish what each of these terms refers to unnecessarily muddles debate about what healthcare reforms are needed as well as where and how these should occur.
Question of nursing ethics
The ethics of healthcare rationing has been the subject of debate for decades. This debate has primarily rested on the issue of whether it is ever acceptable to ration healthcare and, if so, on what grounds. It has also prompted unresolved controversies about the interests of individuals versus the collective interests of society in accessing limited healthcare resources and how best to balance these competing inter.

PEER RESPONSES FOR Patient Outcomes and Sustainable Change
QUESTION: Reflecting on the "IHI Module PS 101: Introduction to Patient Safety," summarize why it is essential to improve patient safety. Use one of the articles from this week's topic Resources and describe the framework or theory that was used to improve the patient outcome. What outcome measures were identified and how did they align with the improvement project? Explain how the authors learned from the error or unintended events to ensure patient safety. Provide supporting evidence.
Dr. Mary Sizemore
Thank you for your response. You provided some good information regarding the quality of care and patient safety. In my practice, many facilities work to improve patient outcomes through the use of electronic health records to reduce errors with medication prescribing. Consider ordering a new medication for a patient. What are some measures you can take as a provider to reduce possible errors with the process?

The Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) Module PS 101: Introduction to Patient Safety provides the structural foundation of the vital role patient safety has in a healthcare institution. High reliability was a central theme of the module. A culture of safety is when the employees share a central belief that a healthcare organization supports root cause analysis in patient care (Leape, 2021). It is a significant theme that humans have a predisposition to error, and it is vital to create systems and a safety culture to have a safe environment for patients. It is crucial to develop systems to track and analyze errors as they occur to improve future outcomes by creating safer systems.
When people interact with a healthcare system, they are often at their most valuable state. The number of people dying from medical errors in 2018 was equivalent to a daily jumbo crash (Leape, 2021). Our society would not stand for one plane crash a day, yet often a place whose purpose is to heal hurts. Although humans are prone to error, it is essential to create policies, procedures, and phycological safety to increase safety when people seek healthcare. A facility that commits to embedding safety into policy and procedures and a culture of phycological safety are often referred to as a high-reliability organization (HRO).
Education and empowerment of staff are essential components of building physical safety. Haley & Fritz (2019) used a framework of education and empowerment to improve the rate of urinary tract infections (UTI) in a long-term care (LTC) facility. Haley & Fritz (2019) assessed that evidenced-based signs and symptoms were not consistently utilized in obtaining urine samples to diagnose UTIs. A culture of safety examination showed improvement that could be made. Education and empowerment were done to improve the signs and symptoms used to initiate obtaining a urine sample (Haley & Fritz, 2019). Phycological safety is a vital found.

Context
Community/public health nursing is nursing care that is population-focused and occurs in non-hospital settings. Numerous nursing theories can provide the structure for community/public health nursing; however, nursing theories that incorporate components of the general systems theory frequently provide the framework for the practice of community/public health nursing.
Historically, nurses have made significant contributions to the field of public health. From providing maternal-child care to poor women in the late 1800s, to promoting hygiene among school aged children in the early 1900s, to providing environmental and safety care to industrial workers during World War I, nurses have been instrumental in shaping health policies (Maurer & Smith, 2013). Today, community/public health nurses have a key role in identifying and developing plans of care to address local, national, and international health issues.
Many factors influence the health of communities and populations, including national policies that focus on health promotion. Healthy People, a major national health promotion program issued by the U.S. Surgeon General, identifies major health problems of the nation and sets national goals and objectives targeting health promotion (Maurer & Smith, 2013). If adopted, activities that target health promotion can result in disease prevention.

Low Functional health literacy is a problem affecting 90 million residents of the United States. Among the 90 million, 36% are adults who have “below basic” health literacy skills. Assessing health literacy is important in improving health behaviors, health outcomes, and perceived communication barriers related to health. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act enacted in 2010 brought about changes that demand a more coordinated approach to manage health care services. This research focused on the efforts being made to promote health literacy at Medicaid health homes such as Greater Buffalo United Accountable Healthcare Network (GBUAHN). This research consisted of observation of Patient Health Navigator interactions with patients in order to identify best practices of health literacy initiatives within GBUAHN. Results suggest best practices include promoting and establishing relationship to effectively enhance patients understanding of all their healthcare needs. This study suggests that GBUAHN should continue making use of recommendations related health literacy promotion while exploring areas of improvement as noted on scorecard. Patient Health Navigators are engaging patient in manner that will establish adherence within patients.

Doctors of Tomorrow – A Pipeline Program for Getting a Head Start in Medicineinventionjournals
Purpose: Pipeline programs have long been embraced as a strategyto recruit students from groups underrepresented in medicine into medical careers. Despite the prevalence of these programs, we know little about why students seek out participation and even less about their perceptions of the potential long-term benefits. This study explored the motivations and expectations of pipeline program participants. Method: Twenty-three high school students participated in the Doctors of Tomorrow (DoT) program, a high school and medical school partnership pipeline program from September 2014 through March 2015. Data for this study included students’ application essays, critical incident narratives, focus group discussions and transcripts from individual interviews. Thematic analysis was used to analyze all narrative materials and transcripts. Results: Our analysis of all program data revealed that DoT participants were motivated to participate in the program to learn about becoming a physician, gain access to individuals in medicine and develop a competitive advantage over other students when applying to college and medical school. Conclusions: Barriers to careers in medicine for individuals from groups underrepresented in medicine is well documented. These findings suggest that students seek to participate in pipeline programs as astrategy to secure goal-oriented, experiential encounters to help improve access points and mitigate barriers to becoming physicians

Final Exam
Spend up to the next 2 hours to complete the following task, to the best of your ability. This exam is worth 100 points. There is no specific word count requirement.
Topic: Vitamin C - https://vitamincfoundation.org/squares/
Your submission should be in the form of written paragraphs, but you will not be evaluated on the quality of writing beyond the minimum necessary to understand what you are communicating. Your submission does not need to be as structured as the analysis assignments submitted during the semester. You should answer parts 1-5 of the task individually, each in paragraph form. Number each answer to correspond to parts 1-5, and then references at the end.
1. In one paragraph, summarize the product or service and describe what it is supposed to do.
2. In one paragraph, identify and clearly state at least one scientific claim being made about the product or service.
3. Identify and clearly describe at least two sources that are purported to support the claim. Each source should be described in a single paragraph (i.e., two paragraphs total). You must provide references for these sources (as well as any other that you use to complete the other tasks) at the end of your document, in the same format that you have been using throughout the semester.
4. Briefly evaluate the quality of the sources and whether or not the sources appear to support the claim. This section may be anywhere from one to several paragraphs long, as needed.
◦ State whether or not you believe the claim is justified, correct, and/or relevant based on your overall evaluation. This evaluation must take into account the sources you identified and evaluated (in steps 3 and 4).
◦ You may utilize sources that do not support the claim in your overall evaluation (i.e., sources in addition to the two from step 3).
◦ Your evaluation should explicitly consider at least two logical fallacies. These may be fallacies that you believe are present, or ones that could have been an issue but that you determined were not.
5. Based on your review of the product or service, summarize in one paragraph when use of the product or service might be beneficial: who might benefit and under what circumstances.
You are free to draw on prior knowledge, your textbook, and electronic resources, but should indicate when you have done so by using the same referencing methods utilized during the semester.
You may not use other humans. Communication in any form (verbal, physical, or electronic) with another human being during this exam will be considered academic misconduct and result in an automatic grade of zero.

Patricia Wilkes works as a correctional officer at Corcoran California state prison. Corcoran is a high security institution that houses some of the most violent male offenders. Patricia has worked at the institution for four years and has encountered two attacks against her from two separate inmates over a year span. Patricia is freshly returned back to work after being off for a week due to her injuries from her latest attack. The attack involved her being pushed down by an inmate, causing a sprain arm. Feeling vulnerable Patricia became friends with an inmate who witnessed the attack and promised to issue protection if she sneaks in contraband for him. She is conflicted but, because she is afraid; she agrees to do it.

HeadnoteGovernments with universal healthcare systems are increa.docxisaachwrensch
Headnote
Governments with universal healthcare systems are increasingly bemoaning the costs of their systems and the need to contain these costs if affordable healthcare services are to be sustained into the future. In a bid to reduce the costs of healthcare, politicians and bureaucrats have championed the need for reform. Although avoiding the language of rationing, the kinds of 'reforms' being championed (eg. greater government regulation of universal health coverage, reducing reimbursement for medical costs, cutting funding to public hospitals) seem however, to be more concerned with restricting universal healthcare coverage, rather than reforming it.
The rhetoric of healthcare reforms has also had a political ideological objective shifting the provision of and accountability for public healthcare services to private sector providers. This objective has been pursued despite experts warning that such a shift will ultimately lead (and in some cases has already led) to inequities and unjust disparities in access to healthcare and related health outcomes, especially in vulnerable populations who cannot afford private health insurance.
Australia has not been immune from ideologically driven machinations about the sustainability of its universal healthcare scheme, ie. Medicare. Despite health expenditure in Australia reportedly reaching a record low for the period 2012-2013, there has been a political campaign of spreading false and misleading information about Medicare's sustainability (Keast 2015).This misinformation has included 'blaming' vulnerable populations (eg. an ageing demographic, the 'undeserving poor') for their allegedly disproportionate over-utilisation of public healthcare services and the need to curb this costly 'wanton' demand. What has been overlooked in this situation, however, is that a key driver of the spiraling costs of healthcare is not the over-utilisation of services by people in need, but rather 'the use of wasteful tests and treatments' prescribed by doctors (Tilburt & Cassel, 2013) together with the rising costs of drugs (driven by the business behaviours of the pharmaceutical industry) and medical technology, particularly in hospitals. Also overlooked is the problem of language and the tendency to treat the terms 'healthcare', 'hospital care', and 'medical care' as being synonymous, when they are not. Failure to distinguish what each of these terms refers to unnecessarily muddles debate about what healthcare reforms are needed as well as where and how these should occur.
Question of nursing ethics
The ethics of healthcare rationing has been the subject of debate for decades. This debate has primarily rested on the issue of whether it is ever acceptable to ration healthcare and, if so, on what grounds. It has also prompted unresolved controversies about the interests of individuals versus the collective interests of society in accessing limited healthcare resources and how best to balance these competing inter.

QUESTION: Reflecting on the "IHI Module PS 101: Introduction to Patient Safety," summarize why it is essential to improve patient safety. Use one of the articles from this week's topic Resources and describe the framework or theory that was used to improve the patient outcome. What outcome measures were identified and how did they align with the improvement project? Explain how the authors learned from the error or unintended events to ensure patient safety. Provide supporting evidence.
Dr. Mary Sizemore
Thank you for your response. You provided some good information regarding the quality of care and patient safety. In my practice, many facilities work to improve patient outcomes through the use of electronic health records to reduce errors with medication prescribing. Consider ordering a new medication for a patient. What are some measures you can take as a provider to reduce possible errors with the process?
Kristen Williams

The Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) Module PS 101: Introduction to Patient Safety provides the structural foundation of the vital role patient safety has in a healthcare institution. High reliability was a central theme of the module. A culture of safety is when the employees share a central belief that a healthcare organization supports root cause analysis in patient care (Leape, 2021). It is a significant theme that humans have a predisposition to error, and it is vital to create systems and a safety culture to have a safe environment for patients. It is crucial to develop systems to track and analyze errors as they occur to improve future outcomes by creating safer systems.
When people interact with a healthcare system, they are often at their most valuable state. The number of people dying from medical errors in 2018 was equivalent to a daily jumbo crash (Leape, 2021). Our society would not stand for one plane crash a day, yet often a place whose purpose is to heal hurts. Although humans are prone to error, it is essential to create policies, procedures, and phycological safety to increase safety when people seek healthcare. A facility that commits to embedding safety into policy and procedures and a culture of phycological safety are often referred to as a high-reliability organization (HRO).
Education and empowerment of staff are essential components of building physical safety. Haley & Fritz (2019) used a framework of education and empowerment to improve the rate of urinary tract infections (UTI) in a long-term care (LTC) facility. Haley & Fritz (2019) assessed that evidenced-based signs and symptoms were not consistently utilized in obtaining urine samples to diagnose UTIs. A culture of safety examination showed improvement that could be made. Education and empowerment were done to improve the signs and symptoms used to initiate obtaining a urine sample (Haley & Fritz, 2019). Phycological safety is a vital found.

Context
Community/public health nursing is nursing care that is population-focused and occurs in non-hospital settings. Numerous nursing theories can provide the structure for community/public health nursing; however, nursing theories that incorporate components of the general systems theory frequently provide the framework for the practice of community/public health nursing.
Historically, nurses have made significant contributions to the field of public health. From providing maternal-child care to poor women in the late 1800s, to promoting hygiene among school aged children in the early 1900s, to providing environmental and safety care to industrial workers during World War I, nurses have been instrumental in shaping health policies (Maurer & Smith, 2013). Today, community/public health nurses have a key role in identifying and developing plans of care to address local, national, and international health issues.
Many factors influence the health of communities and populations, including national policies that focus on health promotion. Healthy People, a major national health promotion program issued by the U.S. Surgeon General, identifies major health problems of the nation and sets national goals and objectives targeting health promotion (Maurer & Smith, 2013). If adopted, activities that target health promotion can result in disease prevention.

Low Functional health literacy is a problem affecting 90 million residents of the United States. Among the 90 million, 36% are adults who have “below basic” health literacy skills. Assessing health literacy is important in improving health behaviors, health outcomes, and perceived communication barriers related to health. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act enacted in 2010 brought about changes that demand a more coordinated approach to manage health care services. This research focused on the efforts being made to promote health literacy at Medicaid health homes such as Greater Buffalo United Accountable Healthcare Network (GBUAHN). This research consisted of observation of Patient Health Navigator interactions with patients in order to identify best practices of health literacy initiatives within GBUAHN. Results suggest best practices include promoting and establishing relationship to effectively enhance patients understanding of all their healthcare needs. This study suggests that GBUAHN should continue making use of recommendations related health literacy promotion while exploring areas of improvement as noted on scorecard. Patient Health Navigators are engaging patient in manner that will establish adherence within patients.

Doctors of Tomorrow – A Pipeline Program for Getting a Head Start in Medicineinventionjournals
Purpose: Pipeline programs have long been embraced as a strategyto recruit students from groups underrepresented in medicine into medical careers. Despite the prevalence of these programs, we know little about why students seek out participation and even less about their perceptions of the potential long-term benefits. This study explored the motivations and expectations of pipeline program participants. Method: Twenty-three high school students participated in the Doctors of Tomorrow (DoT) program, a high school and medical school partnership pipeline program from September 2014 through March 2015. Data for this study included students’ application essays, critical incident narratives, focus group discussions and transcripts from individual interviews. Thematic analysis was used to analyze all narrative materials and transcripts. Results: Our analysis of all program data revealed that DoT participants were motivated to participate in the program to learn about becoming a physician, gain access to individuals in medicine and develop a competitive advantage over other students when applying to college and medical school. Conclusions: Barriers to careers in medicine for individuals from groups underrepresented in medicine is well documented. These findings suggest that students seek to participate in pipeline programs as astrategy to secure goal-oriented, experiential encounters to help improve access points and mitigate barriers to becoming physicians

Final Exam
Spend up to the next 2 hours to complete the following task, to the best of your ability. This exam is worth 100 points. There is no specific word count requirement.
Topic: Vitamin C - https://vitamincfoundation.org/squares/
Your submission should be in the form of written paragraphs, but you will not be evaluated on the quality of writing beyond the minimum necessary to understand what you are communicating. Your submission does not need to be as structured as the analysis assignments submitted during the semester. You should answer parts 1-5 of the task individually, each in paragraph form. Number each answer to correspond to parts 1-5, and then references at the end.
1. In one paragraph, summarize the product or service and describe what it is supposed to do.
2. In one paragraph, identify and clearly state at least one scientific claim being made about the product or service.
3. Identify and clearly describe at least two sources that are purported to support the claim. Each source should be described in a single paragraph (i.e., two paragraphs total). You must provide references for these sources (as well as any other that you use to complete the other tasks) at the end of your document, in the same format that you have been using throughout the semester.
4. Briefly evaluate the quality of the sources and whether or not the sources appear to support the claim. This section may be anywhere from one to several paragraphs long, as needed.
◦ State whether or not you believe the claim is justified, correct, and/or relevant based on your overall evaluation. This evaluation must take into account the sources you identified and evaluated (in steps 3 and 4).
◦ You may utilize sources that do not support the claim in your overall evaluation (i.e., sources in addition to the two from step 3).
◦ Your evaluation should explicitly consider at least two logical fallacies. These may be fallacies that you believe are present, or ones that could have been an issue but that you determined were not.
5. Based on your review of the product or service, summarize in one paragraph when use of the product or service might be beneficial: who might benefit and under what circumstances.
You are free to draw on prior knowledge, your textbook, and electronic resources, but should indicate when you have done so by using the same referencing methods utilized during the semester.
You may not use other humans. Communication in any form (verbal, physical, or electronic) with another human being during this exam will be considered academic misconduct and result in an automatic grade of zero. The sole exception is if you have an urgent issue that you communicate to an instructor. Your instructors will not provide assistance with this exam or the resources you utilize to complete it.
Your final document should be uploaded to the Assignments link provided through Brightspace. After verifying that the document has successfully uploaded, you are free to lea.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
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

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.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

This synthesis paper is in partial fulfillment for the
requirements for the
MSA 698 Directed Administrative Portfolio
Executive summary
The purpose of this research is to solve the problems
international students have with health insurance or healthcare
in the United States. This portfolio is comprised of four
separate papers that examined all of the various strategies and
approaches that can be adopted by foreign students to select an
appropriate health insurance policy. The paper covers all of
these approaches in great detail, also providing (a)
recommendations and strategic planning techniques, which
should be adopted by the students in order to assess the value of
the health insurance policy they are planning to purchase (MSA
603), (b) the ways different ethnic groups perceive health
insurance or quality healthcare, while evaluating and
hypothesizing the way cultural variables interact in shaping the
individual’s perception within an organization and society
(MSA604), (c) strategies for effective communication most
important in helping patients and doctors communicate
3. (MSA601), and (d) the evaluation model in financial
performance in healthcare or in hospitals (MSA602). In each of
the papers, the researchers used strategic planning projects to
help improve the operations and services offered by health
insurance and healthcare systems. Regardless of the conclusions
found through this research, more follow-up studies should be
conducted that consider the continued development and
corresponding effectiveness.

Problems Facing International Students with Health Insurance
Companies
4. in the USA Healthcare System
Health insurance and healthcare are significant to international
students in the United States. International students should
receive health insurance when they come to the U.S., because
without the benefits that health insurance provides, outstanding
medical bills can lead to financial ruin. However, health
insurance is expensive and fails to cover every treatment for
international students. Few international students can afford to
have healthcare insurance; the costs exceed their ability to pay
for the premium. Therefore, researchers must address the
shortfalls in the quality of care.
The U.S. healthcare system is very complex in structure.
As the overall health of the population is not improving as
quickly as spending is increasing, one can argue that there are
several external factors to the healthcare system that influence
the objective of improving the overall health of the population.
The U.S. is increasing the amount of access people have to
quality healthcare, reducing disparities, and protecting
households from financial insolvency due to medical expenses.
However, the healthcare system lacks affordable prices. Such
challenges clearly indicate the urgent need for reform.
Reforming the healthcare delivery system to improve the
quality, as well as the value of care, is essential in addressing
escalating costs and poor quality.
In each of the four papers, the researcher made a strategy
to solve the problem of international students being unable to
afford U.S. health insurance. Also, these students should learn
how to communicate with their healthcare providers. To provide
the best possible care for international students, healthcare
providers should focus on educating themselves about other
cultures to achieve multiculturalism. Following this, brief
summaries of each of the four papers were given. In closing,
four key recommendations about the most essential lessons
learned from each of the individual research papers were
provided.
5. The purpose of this research was to help international students
obtain health insurance to make their lives easier in the U.S.
This study also aims to help people in general who come to the
U.S. to work or study. Moreover, the study might also assist
those who are born in the U.S. Healthcare providers and
patients need to improve quality in healthcare. A portfolio
comprised of four papers that aimed to improve the current
strategy planning of health insurance and healthcare providers
was developed. Key concepts from the core courses of the
Master of Science in Administration (MSA) with a
concentration in Health Services Administration were compiled
by the researcher.
Moreover, by communicating with healthcare professionals,
students can enable physicians to identify their healthcare
issues. Students and physicians can make decisions regarding
healthcare issues on a collaborative basis (Androniceanu, 2017).
The connection between healthcare professionals and their
patients should be a strong one, because a weak connection
results in inefficacy, as well as less patient satisfaction. People
require more data about their wellbeing and they want to
receive complete information from their concerned physicians.
Therefore, communication between healthcare providers and
their patients plays a major role in achieving excellence in
performance in the healthcare sector. The Framework of
Strategic Planning
The researcher used the framework of strategic planning and
development to tackle the issues of the healthcare of
international students. This framework relies on strategic
planning development projects. The first paper emphasizes the
significance of strategic planning and development. The
projects of strategic planning and development assist in
improving the amenities and operations that are provided by
healthcare organizations. In addition, strategic planning offers
strategies that should be applied and incorporated into the
system of healthcare. By implementing these strategies, health
insurance organizations can improve their functions and assist
6. individuals in a more efficacious manner. The second paper
emphasizes the MSA 601 concepts of effective communication,
and found that the study provided initial evidence that patient-
physician relationships are an important factor in encouraging
people to take a more active role in their healthcare. The third
paper focused on expanding the MSA 604 concept of
multiculturalism by explaining the emphasis on the
multicultural approach in healthcare. The inequalities that exist
in the system of healthcare contribute to imbalances in health
conditions, which impact racial and ethnic minorities. The third
paper has also taken into account the techniques that can be
executed by healthcare organizations at interpersonal and
intrapersonal levels. The researcher identified the approaches
that are dependent upon research and social psychology theory,
which likely improve healthcare facilities in multicultural
settings (Weech-Maldonado et al., 2015). The final paper
concentrated on the MSA 602 concept of the models that can be
utilized to assess the financial productivity of healthcare
institutions. The researcher considered various models like the
Affordable Care Act, the Patient’s Safety and Financial
Performance, Integrated Health Systems, Change to Models of
Care Delivery, the Financial Performance of Rural Hospitals,
Health Information Technology and the Physician Group
Practice. These models to evaluate in financial performance in
healthcare or hospital. In addition, this models used to improve
healthcare quality, improve the health of patients as well as
insurance company pay, either partially or in-full, for medical
services and drug for patients. Comment by Jenn: I love
the detail in this sentence with listing all the models that you
examined. However, the sentence isn’t really complete.
If you look at it without the examples, you have The researcher
considered various models. What about these models were
considered?
Think about these questions/examples as you go over this:
Why were these models considered? What were the intended end
7. results that you were wanting to achieve? What was the
reasoning behind these?
The researcher considered various models, such as the
Affordable Care Act,…Physician Group Practice, to
[determine/do what?].
There were presumptions that streamlined the investigation of
the study when each research paper was created. Firstly, the
study presumed that at a certain time in the U.S., a global
student having a medical problem would be pressured to visit
one of the chosen medical clinics that is supported by his or her
health insurance organization (Mackert, Koh, Mabry-Flynn,
Champlin & Beal, 2017). Secondly, the study presumed that
enhancement of communication between healthcare providers
and patients would assist physicians in knowing how patients
feel and what they think about the standard of the care offered
(Riedl & Schüßler, 2017). Thirdly, a thesestudy by Hausmann,
Gao, Mor, Schaefer and Fine (2014) found that inequalities in
the system of healthcare will lead to overall healthcare
imbalances that influence racial and ethnic minorities. Lastly,
the study presumed that implementation of unique hospital IT
applications would make a critical impact upon quality, as well
as cost of care. Irrespective of the individual problems, which
were spotted in the research papers separately, suggestions were
constructed on the inferences that were drawn in each of the
studies. Summary of the Portfolio ContentsMSA 603: Strategic
Planning for the Administrator
The first paper focused on strategic planning to enable
international students to have access to health insurance
coverage. The first strategy introduced was a mobile app to
improve healthcare. Oscar (2013) found that many healthcare
organizations have personal health records of patients that can
be integrated into smartphone technology. In addition, the
mobile app will help patients make appointments, check
8. emergency room wait times, look at doctor’s office hours, and
refill prescription medications. This strategy is helpful for
patients to make healthy lifestyle choices and to reduce costs.
The researcher found another strategy that could help
international students gain healthcare insurance coverage with
the use of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). This act allows
students, up until the age of 26, to access dependent coverage,
which improves access to care. Because of this, adults aged 19–
25 were included in the control group (Sommers et al., 2013).
The ACA permits a student to complete his or her studies and to
pursue new career opportunities without fear of losing his or her
health insurance coverage.
International students typically face additional challenges while
learning about the healthcare systems in the United States
(Sommers et al., 2013). Comment by Jenn: With this part here
– I am left with questions when reading this. What additional
challenges were faced for international students, compared to
students who were born in the US?
I am going to suggest using this to start a new paragraph and
then add a few sentences after this to describe some of the
challenges that international students face.
The challenges for international students is financial challenge
many international visitors to the United States do not expect is
the cost of health insurance. There is no automatic, universal
healthcare for Americans or visitors, so make sure you get good
insurance through your university. Also, university can offer for
international students to use student Secure insurance.
Another strategy identified through this research for healthcare
insurance planning was the provision of choices of health
insurance coverage services to patients. When considering
which health insurance coverage to adopt, patients mainly focus
on high quality, affordable prices, and excellent experiences, as
well as healthcare systems available in hospitals. A new
9. strategy enables international students to acquire healthcare
insurance coverage servers using a cost sharing approach. This
strategy requires patients to pay half of the health insurance
costs, while the insurance provider covers the remaining half.
Another strategy is the Safety Net System, where providers
organize and deliver a significant level of health care and other
related services to uninsured, Medicaid, and other vulnerable
populations. Safety Net Systems help international students and
residents of the U.S. who are not insured due to financial
problems, but also tends to discourage patients from purchasing
healthcare insurance coverage. International students will be
able to acquire health insurance more easily by using the Safety
Net System. MSA 601: Organizational Dynamics
The second paper discusses the importance of successful
communication as a supplement to healthcare for patients.
Different strategies were discussed in this paper that can be
adopted to strengthen the communication between healthcare
suppliers and patients (Riedl & Schüßler, 2017). Furthermore,
successful communication assists healthcare officials in
understanding the beliefs of the patients that impact the
successful transmission of healthcare services. Healthcare
officials should be trained regarding communication expertise
because of the importance of providing high quality healthcare
services. Communication among teammates also affects their
interpersonal relationships and levels of job contentment at
their workplaces. Thus, training of healthcare providers
regarding mandatory communication aspects is important to
encourage allocation of standardized healthcare (Riedl &
Schüßler, 2017).
An important element that should be considered for effective
communication between doctors and patients is the level of
education. The education level of healthcare providers is
essential in increasing the standard of communication in
healthcare amenities. A few particular components of socio-
emotional communication to be focused on include: involving
patients in short discussions, calling patients by their names,
10. representing friendly gestures, and listening to patients in an
attentive way (Desjarlais & Wallace, 2013). In addition,
evaluation of the cultural atmospheres of the patients prove very
conducive in increasing communication.MSA 604:
Administration, Globalization and Multiculturalism
This paper discusses how healthcare organizations can adopt a
multiculturalism approach. Culture performs a significant role
in the quality of health insurance facilities provided to
international students. The inequalities in the mechanisms of
healthcare impact racial and ethnic groups. Asking patients to
rate their healthcare experiences has become increasingly
important in the recent assessments of provision of healthcare
amenities (Hasnain et al., 2013). The constant racial or ethnic
imbalances in healthcare facilities have resulted in the
identification of the inequalities which exist in the patients’
perceptions concerning standards of healthcare over ethnically-
variegated populations. This paper critically evaluated the role
of race in allocation of quality healthcare facilities (Pai &
Chary, 2016).
There were different approaches to improve healthcare
providers’ familiarity with different cultures. First, by
implementing interventions that target stereotypes and attitudes
of ethnic or racial groups, changes can occur among the
perceptions of healthcare officials and patients. This further
impacts the discrepancies in healthcare. Second, by executing
interventions which target racially or ethnically contradictory
healthcare interactions, healthcare providers improve the quality
of care for their ethnically and racially diverse patients. The
productivity of healthcare interactions will increase by
minimizing the influence of negative thoughts and feelings,
which are linked to a patient or healthcare supplier participating
in a healthcare interaction (Weech-Maldonado et al., 2015).
Furthermore, multiculturalism in healthcare can be achieved by
having a diverse workforce. By executing culture competency
training, patient results can be enhanced and liability claims can
be decreased. Therefore, cultural competency should be
11. incorporated in healthcare education at all stages (Hefele et al.,
2016).MSA 602: Financial Analysis, Planning, and Control
The fourth paper discusses the models that can be used to assess
the financial performance of hospitals. This paper essentially
provides an understanding of how hospital systems and
healthcare provisions can be strengthened. The first model
described was the Physical Group Practice Demonstration
Project, which was executed to assess if Medicare patients can
be covered by offering high quality healthcare and decreasing
the costs of Medicare simultaneously (Paul, 2014). A different
model, the Affordable Care Act, ensures that the people who
rely on Medicare should achieve standardized healthcare at
affordable costs (Paul, 2014). Another model that is used to
assess financial performance is the Integrated Health System.
This system emphasizes the working costs, functioning of
operating economies, and financial productivity of Healthcare
Information Systems (HIS) and the operating incomes that are
generated as a result of carrier devices of the physicians.
The model of patient’s safety and financial performance not
only increases the safety of the patients in the hospitals, but
also works on improving the financial performance of the
patient. Executives of healthcare institutions should take
necessary steps to utilize the appropriate model to determine
financial measures. For instance, the healthcare organizations
can implement the use of electronic medical records (EMR),
along with HIS, to make the assessment of the financial
performance smoother and and more accurate.Key
Recommendations from the ResearchRecommendation: Key
Takeaways and Lessons Learned from MSA 603
There are several recommendations that can be made while
keeping the data provided by the paper under discussion in
mind. One of the recommendations is that international students
should not rush into purchasing any health insurance policies
without first conducting proper research during their stay in the
U.S. These students should also look for affordable options,
because paying for expensive polices regularly is not easy.
12. Also, there should be proper guidelines to explain the whole
procedure to the international students and to provide them with
the options they have.
Apart from this, the students should also look into clinics and
hospitals, which are covered under all health insurance policies.
Clinics and hospitals are not easy to visit. They can be far away
at times, which is inconvenient when a student requires the
immediate attention of a doctor. All of the students should have
a healthcare mobile application downloaded on their cell
phones, as well. This will help them to quickly check which
clinics and healthcare providers are covered under their
healthcare insurance, and are closest in case of an
emergency.Recommendation: Key Takeaways and Lessons
Learned from MSA 601
The recommendation of this paper for patients is to improve
communication with their healthcare providers. Communication
can make the patients and doctors better understand each other.
Patients should feel comfortable explaining their pain to their
doctors. Doctors should learn different languages and skills.
Other forms of communication might include gestures and facial
expressions. Healthcare providers and patients should also be
trained in ways to communicate. Patients might even consider
using social media to communicate with doctors in the
healthcare system. In addition, healthcare providers should
understand healthcare information for their patients as well.
Recommendation: Key Takeaways and Lessons Learned from
MSA 604
In this recommendation, patients and healthcare providers
should learn about different cultures. Healthcare providers are
encouraged to learn a different language. Intercultural
competence can be taught, but personality factors also affect the
levels of intercultural competence that individuals can attain.
Healthcare providers possess strong personal identities.
However, they must also have knowledge of the beliefs and
values of other cultures. Sensitivity towards other cultures must
be displayed by healthcare providers, and they must
13. communicate clearly in the language of the given cultural
group. Overall, awareness of ethnic cultures is important for
healthcare providers.Recommendation: Key Takeaways and
Lessons Learned from MSA 602
The recommendation drawn in this paper is that cost-sharing
requirements and coverage should be designed to encourage
patients to utilize cost-effective primary care in addition to
preventive services that can delay or prevent the onset of costly
chronic conditions. At the same time, patients should be
encouraged to choose high quality care at a lower overall cost.
Patients should also have access to information to help them
make well-informed decisions.Conclusion
The conclusions which can be drawn from the first paper is that
health insurance is one of the most vital items an overseas
student studying or working in the U.S. needs to purchase.
However, at the same time, assessing which health insurance is
appropriate is difficult for students. Since health insurance
plans are quite expensive in the U.S., it becomes a burden for
these students. Hence, in order to make a wise choice when
buying a health insurance plan, the students must first conduct
proper research.
Since these students are new in the country, they do not know
much about the various processes related to health insurance
policies, which creates the feeling of being lost within the
system. The strategies proposed in the paper should be
considered and studied by the students before they opt for any
of the insurance policies. Also, these students should try to find
the cheaper or more affordable health insurance policies, like
the ACA (Affordable Care Act).
A conclusion which can be drawn from second paper is that
effective communication plays a key role in healthcare,
especially between doctors and patients. In addition, effective
communication is central to the provision of healthcare to
patients, therefore, strategies for its improvement should be
adopted. In this paper, the researcher focused on several ways
14. to improve effective communication, such as geography,
education, and online models concerning the impact of doctor-
patient communications. A successful relationship allows
patients to be satisfied with the treatments provided by their
doctors and hospitals, in general, as well as motivating them to
share information with their doctors. Therefore, effective
communication should be pursued to improve viability of the
healthcare sector in provision of healthcare to patients. Patients
can also communicate with doctors on the internet or in a
forum, making communication easier between patients and
doctors without a face-to-face interaction.
A conclusion when considering the paper under discussion,
draws upon the importance of understanding culture between
patients and doctors in quality healthcare or health insurance.
Culture is critically important in healthcare. There are different
racial and ethnic groups in healthcare. This paper explained
some various causes of healthcare disparities, such as
socioeconomic status, language barriers, and health literacy; as
well as focusing on multicultural approaches in healthcare.
Research has identified various ways in which these healthcare
disparities can be reduced. These include providing minorities
with better healthcare, along with higher quality healthcare
insurance coverage. In addition to adequate assistance and
language skills, introduction of the patient-centered
communication approach and cultural competency trainings are
useful in the reduction of healthcare disparities.
In the final paper, the conclusion was about financial
performance in healthcare. There are various models that can be
used to evaluate financial performance in healthcare
organizations. The first model is the physician group project
(PGP). This model is used to provide high-quality healthcare to
patients and to reduce costs to patients in healthcare programs.
ACA is the “Obamacare” program, and the purpose of ACA is to
provide better medical care for individual patients, provide
better health for people, and to decrease the overall growth in
Medicare costs. EMRs are also used to contribute to the cost
15. efficiency of the project. In addition, the ACA model involves
medical loss ratios and requires 80-85% of payments that have
been collected from direct medical expenses. This model
protects patients and lowers their payments. The IHS model
helps to operate economics and financial performance. Finally,
the model of the patient’s safety and financial performance
targets safety and financial performance in hospitals.
Need a closing paragraph Comment by Jenn: You will need
more of a concluding paragraph. You have done a nice job with
summarizing all of the data that you have presented in this
paper. To finalize this, I would add a paragraph about what your
thoughts are for this project, what the changes will mean, how it
may impact you and future students, etc. You can tend to be a
little more personal in this aspect, but still staying away from
writing in the first person. You will want to restate the thesis
here – but in a slightly different way – to reiterate what the
overall purpose of this paper was about.
Overall, this research is purpose about help international
students to get health insurance to make their life easier., and
improve healthcare in hospital. In addition, this study to help
people who born in the U.S.A. the four papers talked about
strategy to solve problem international students with health
insurance
In each of the four papers, the researcher made a strategy to
solve the problem of international students being unable to
afford U.S. health insurance. Also, these students should learn
how to communicate with their healthcare providers. To provide
the best possible care for international students, healthcare
providers should focus on educating themselves about other
cultures to achieve multiculturalism. Following this, brief
summaries of each of the four papers were given. In closing,
four key recommendations about the most essential lessons
learned from each of the individual research papers were
provided.
I think for this paper to make international students life
easy when they go to the U.S.A. also, the project helps
16. healthcare provider how to communicate with patients from
different culture. Health insurance make cheaper and provide
for all treatment. How international students to find and make
appointment with healthcare provider.
Moreover. Because treatment in the U.S.A is more
expensive. International students should get health insurance.
As result, a good insurance policy gives patients access to
excellent medical facilities and provides protection against the
enormous costs of health care in the U.S.References
