Category: Health Care

The topic is: Healthcare
The heading is: What is wrong or right with the major pillars of our healthcare system?
In 1965 the US Congress passed and President Johnson signed the Social Security Amendments of 1965 that gave us Medicare and Medicaid. The passage of the Social Security Amendments, popularly known as Medicare and Medicaid, resulted in one basic program of health insurance for persons aged 65 and older, and another program providing health insurance for people with limited income funded by state and federal sources, respectively. It was funded by a tax on the earnings of employees, matched by contributions by employers, and was well received. In the first three years of the program, nearly 20 million beneficiaries enrolled in it.
In 2009 President Obama successfully negotiated the passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Joe Biden famously whispered into his ear: “This is a big [expletive] deal.” President Obama had to make to pass the ACA
And then we had COVID and everything changed – more people lost their jobs and their insurance and so many were sick and needed health care including many long hospitalizations. The American Rescue Plan passed in 2021 expanded the ACA but costs were high.
So the question is what is good and bad about these policies that are the major framework of the US health system? What should we change and why? Or are you satisfied and if so tell us what you think works in Medicare, Medicaid, or the ACA?
Please I need at least 3 references

You graduated from Penn State and took a job working for the Mayor from the city you chose in short paper #1. The mayor has been concerned about the lack of integration between social services and health services in the community. He decides to give you $25,000 to create a program for a vulnerable population that will bring the social services and health services communities together. He has left the choice of the vulnerable group to you. However, you cannot choose the same vulnerable group that you wrote about in short paper #1 or #2. Given that you just finished reading the book by Eric Manheimer you have several vulnerable groups (i.e. prisoners, domestic abuse victims, immigrants, etc.) that you can choose from.
Choose one of the vulnerable groups that were presented in the book. Write a proposal memo for the mayor about what you will realistically do with the $25,000. In the proposal you will need to convince the Mayor that your idea will work and that you should be the one to lead the project.
The writing assignment builds on skills such as:
developing a productive process of discovery
thinking and communicating
identifying, selecting, and narrowing down needed information
assessing data sources and evidence
expressing ideas clearly and concisely
revising your work, and
writing and speaking using a professional tone.
This assignment is an opportunity for you to bring your knowledge and skills together, and help you further improve your research, analysis, and written communication skills.
Specifics
The proposal memo should be single spaced.
The memo should be addressed to the Mayor,.
All in-text and full citations should be in APA format, 6th edition. Purdue Owl is a wonderful resource (https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/).
You need to include 1 visual demographic illustrating your vulnerable group need. This is to be an addendum AND DOES NOT COUNT AS A PAGE NOR DOES IT COUNT AS A PART of your paper.
You need to include a budget/table demonstrating the allocation of money ($25,000). This is to be an addendum not part of your paper length.
Note: make sure that you format your addendums correctly.
NEITHER OF THESE TWO TOPICS CAN BE THE FOCUS OF THIS PAPER.
short paper 1 topic was improvement plan of hospitals through expansion and integration.
short paper 2 topic was adding domestic abuse victims to safety net

I NEED THREE CASE STUDIES DONE. I HAVE THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW! PLEASE I NEED THREE DONE! please help me pass this class. EACH CASE STUDY ONMY NEEDS TO BE ONE PAGE LING. 1 FOR EACH PAGE.
DISCLAIMER
This guide is intended only as a brief and simplistic introduction to legal research and as such give only a general overview using only a few of the more common and readily available legal reference materials.
INTRODUCTION
Please be aware that most cases involving medical negligence or malpractice never go to court, but are settled out of court. Court cases settled at the local court level are not published, only cases that ae appealed to a higher court are published. Cases may be appealed to State courts and to Federal District courts and all the way to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court only rules on questions of constitutionality, any other legal ruling is referred back to a lower court.
Another thing that any student doing legal research should know is the difference between the three forms of law.
STATUTORY LAW
Statutory law can be defined as the original laws enacted by a body legally authorized to pass laws, such as the Congresses of the United States or the State of Louisiana. When signed by the President or the Governor, they become law and are eventually incorporated into the United States Code (U.S.C.) or the Louisiana Constitution.
ADMINISTRATIVE LAW
Administrative law, also referred to as quasi-statutory law, refers to the rules and regulations which are written by agencies. These agencies are given the authority by Congress to write and enforce these rules. The Federal Register and the Louisiana Register are the mediums for notifying the public of rules and proposed rules for all Federal and Louisiana State agencies and departments. After publication in the Register as a final rule, the regulations are incorporated into the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) or Louisiana Administrative Code.
CASE LAW
Case law refers to cases decided in courts of law, at appellate courts on the federal or state level, or, at the highest level, at the U.S. Supreme Court. These cases are adjudicated based on the court’s interpretation of statutory laws and the precedence of previous court decisions. Supreme Court cases are found in United States Reports and cases from Louisiana appellate courts are found in Southern Reporter 3d series (West).
ETHICS
Although not laws, many professional associations have codes of ethics by which their member agree to abide. Failure to abide by the ethics may cause a person to be removed from the association and occasionally to be barred from practicing in that profession.
LEGAL ABBREVIATIONS
Another thing to be aware of is legal abbreviations. Most legal abbreviations are standard in form regardless of the legal resource used. If unsure of the abbreviation, use Bieber’s Dictionary of Legal Abbreviations. Understanding Case Citations
A case citation identifies the parties in the case, the text in which the case can be found, and the year in which the case was decided. For example, consider the citation Boulia v. Superior Court (Glenchur), 225 Cal. Rptr. 297 (Cal. Ct. App. 1986):
• Boulia v. Superior Court (Glenchur) identifies the basic parties involved in the lawsuit.
• 225 Cal. Rptr. 297 identifies the case as being reported in volume 225 of the California Reporter at page 297.
• Cal. Ct. App. 1986 identifies the case as being decided in the California Court of Appeal in 1986.
In general form of the legal citation is: volume/title​setpage/section
For example:
​42 U.S.C. 263b stands for Title 42 of the United States Code, section 263b: Mammography Quality Standards Act of 1992
​187 So.3d 436 stands for Volume 187 of the Southern Reporter, 3rd Edition (Louisiana Cases) page 436: Plaintiffs Richard and Melissa Dupuy (the wife of Richard Dupuy) filed suit against NMC Operating Co., L.L.C., d/b/a The Spine Hospital of Louisiana (“Hospital”). (Patient brought medical malpractice action against hospital for alleged improper sterilization of equipment.)
LEGAL TERMS
Most texts you will look at use very specific language. LSUA library has several different dictionaries, encyclopedias, and thesauri that can help you better understand the language used in law books.
ONLINE LEGAL RESOURCES
There are an almost overwhelming variety of informational resources available via the Internet. I have selected a few specific sites which I think are best suited to the needs of RADT 3300.
www.findlaw.com click cases search under all circuits
www.casetext.com you have to sign up to read cases but it is free.
https://scholar.google.com/ click on Case law then select courts. It is free.
WARNING: Every site is different. State and Federal court internet sites may or may not have case information on those sites. Likewise, not all states have regulatory information available on their government internet sites. Even sites that give court cases may not give the complete case but only the opinions of the court or a summary of the case. Not all court or regulatory sites have search engines that allow for keyword searching of the text of cases or regulations.
Final Project:
For your final project, each student will write a brief (1-2 page) summary for each of three legal cases using below as a resource. Cases may be located through print or internet searches. The cases can be related to any legal issue affecting healthcare administration, education or clinical practice.
For each case, students must also submit copies of the “labeled” original cases. On the case indicate the citation, Case Name, Docket #, Date of Decision, Lawyer, Judges, Topic, Relief Sought, Issue, Facts, Holding, Reason, and Decision of the Court.
I encourage you to work on this project throughout the semester!
If you have questions, please post in the news forum so that everyone is privy to information. Please DO NOT email me privately to ask a question regarding this project.
Case Presentation Format
Students are encouraged to locate a recent case and discuss it in the following format:
1. Citation. Students may wish to research cases cited in this text in order to gain a deeper understanding of the topics covered. A case citation describes the identity of the parties in the case, the text in which the case can be found, and the year in which the case was decided.
2. Topic. What is the main topic of the case.
3. Relief Sought. What is the plantiff asking?
4. Issue. The issues discussed in any given case are selected for review on the basis of medical and legal importance to the healthcare professional. Although any one case may have multiple issues, only those considered pertinent are reviewed here.
5. Facts. A review of the details of the case.
6. Holding. The court’s ruling based on the facts, issues, and applicable laws pertaining to the case.
7. Reason. The rationale behind how the court arrived at its decision based on the facts, issues, and relevant laws surrounding the case.
8. Significance. Discuss the significance of the ruling of the court.

You are the chief financial officer (CFO) at a community hospital. One of the comments that has come back from patient surveys is the need for a commercial 24-hour pharmacy within the hospital. In this way, patients or their families will be able to fill prescriptions and begin taking ordered medication right away instead of waiting until the following day. The chief executive officer (CEO) wants you to create a proposal for the first 3 months of operation utilizing time value of money tools for the development of this new revenue-generating department. The following points must be covered in your proposal:
Include and discuss the need for working capital to include 2 months of startup drug inventory, vendor financing arrangements, personnel costs including salaries and benefits, renovations, disposable supplies, and cost of equipment
Provide 2 viable options to measure the rate of return to optimize financial performance of the department based on time value principles with rationale and justification.
Include a profitability analysis for 3 years.
Include a schedule of assumptions for your proposal. What questions might the board ask regarding feasibility of this proposal?
How might current changes in federal, state, and local policies influence decisions to be made?
The body of the resultant paper should be 5–7 pages and should include at least 5 relevant academic or professional references published in the past 5 years.
