Oakdale Physicians Group is a general medicine practice with 5 Board Certified Family Practice physicians, 1 nurse practitioner, 4 registered nurses and one practice manager and a receptionist. The practice is in an urban area of Atlanta, GA.
The practice is considering making a change from the traditional insurance (including Medicare, third party payers) reimbursement-based practice to a Direct Primary Care or Concierge Practice model. After consulting with other physician groups across the state, they find that the amount that is being charged by other groups ranges from $600 to $1500 a month.
They did some research and found a study which found that different populations respond to healthcare cost in generally different ways. The study found that people with no illnesses and disabilities, generally the young and healthy, would notspend $700 on healthcare for an entire year let alone a month, and most feel they would not waste so much money on premiums when the chance of needing expensive healthcare treatments is so small. However, the study found that older, sicker people think that $700 per month is a great deal, as most of them spend far more than this amount on healthcare. For the older population it seems like a great deal.
Before making the decision to switch to the new delivery care model, they need to gather some data because it is the data that will be the deciding factor toward the change. The outcome of their decision is driven by the data.
So now the practice must decide whether to switch to the DPC model AND how much to charge the patients each month.
1. Describe in detail four different kinds of data sets (or kinds of data or types of data) that they will need to gather to make the decisions and how having this data will influence their decision. e.g. If you were going to move to Dallas, TX , you would want to know the cost of apartments because you want to make sure that your salary will support that cost.

Discuss the purpose of an executive summary. When are they used? What is typically included? What components should be avoided?

1. PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER: This question about an Ebola patient refers to the renal
hormones we learned last week, and how the body might deploy them to address problems with
volume, osmolarity, and/or ion balance. As you tackle the situation presented, please include answers
to the following points:
A. Which regulated variable(s) are altered?
B. How are they altered? In other words, what disturbance(s) is the body facing?
C. What is the appropriate combination of renal hormones that will help with the disturbance(s)?
D. Are each of the hormones RELEASED or INHIBITED? For example, if you believe osmolarity
has been increased, you might say that Aldosterone will be inhibited, while ADH would be
released.
E. What is the pathway for release or inhibition of each hormone, beginning with the appropriate
stimuli and receptors?
F. HOW will each of the released hormones help with the disturbance(s) you have identified?
You are in Sierra Leone, working with an Ebola patient. The loss of blood due to hemorrhaging is
rather grave, but you have been able to stabilize them. How would your patient’s body compensate
for the disturbances created by severe blood loss? Please describe as many possible compensatory
mechanisms as you can, including any potential renal and cardiovascular changes. You must describe
the entire relevant pathway for each change, from stimulus/receptor to overall systemic effect. (You
do not need to describe the cellular mechanisms underlying the responses at the targets.) If your
answer for this question does not demonstrate a full faith effort by including detailed
responses to the points requested above, you will not earn full credit. Your answer must
be long to fully address the question.

Using the video from Episode 4 on Mr. Jones, answer two of the following prompts. Please identify each prompt you answer by number and restate the question in bold letters. Prompt 1: How many patients are suffering from COPD in the United States? Do COPD sufferers die of respiratory causes or other causes? (Be sure to cite the data.)
Prompt 2: What two separate diseases are the main COPD diseases? Give background on each disease.
Prompt 3: How does COPD correlate with left ventricular pressure and primary heart failure?
Prompt 4: What are the three types of bronchodilators, and how do they function to alleviate the symptoms of COPD? What are other possible treatments for COPD?
Prompt 5: Through which mechanism does bronchiolitis cause destruction of alveoli? Is emphysema genetic? Can environmental factors increase the risk of emphysema? Why or why not? Prompt 6: Is lung transplantation a solution for emphysema? Can new technology be useful in the treatment of emphysema? Why or why not? Please correlate your responses to Mr. Jones’ case. Content in this case scenario incorporates topics from Chapter 22. ANSWER
Prompt 1: According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a group of lung diseases that make it hard to breathe. It is the third leading cause of death in the United States, accounting for 1 in 5 deaths. In 2020, there were an estimated 38 million adults in the United States with COPD. Of these, 16 million had been diagnosed with the disease.
The majority of COPD deaths are due to respiratory causes, such as pneumonia and acute respiratory failure. However, COPD can also increase the risk of death from other causes, such as heart disease and stroke.
Prompt 2: The two main COPD diseases are chronic bronchitis and emphysema.
Chronic bronchitis is a condition in which the airways become inflamed and narrowed. This makes it difficult to breathe, especially when exercising. Chronic bronchitis is caused by long-term exposure to irritants, such as cigarette smoke, air pollution, and dust.
Emphysema is a condition in which the alveoli, the tiny air sacs in the lungs, are destroyed. This makes it difficult to transfer oxygen from the lungs to the bloodstream. Emphysema is also caused by long-term exposure to irritants, such as cigarette smoke.
How does COPD correlate with left ventricular pressure and primary heart failure?
COPD can damage the heart in a number of ways. First, COPD can increase the workload of the heart by making it harder to breathe. This can lead to high blood pressure in the lungs (pulmonary hypertension) and left ventricular hypertrophy, a thickening of the left ventricle of the heart.
Second, COPD can damage the nerves that control the heart. This can lead to arrhythmias, or irregular heartbeats.
Third, COPD can increase the risk of blood clots. These clots can travel to the lungs and cause a pulmonary embolism, a life-threatening condition.
Is lung transplantation a solution for emphysema? Can new technology be useful in the treatment of emphysema? Why or why not?
Lung transplantation is a surgery that replaces a diseased lung with a healthy lung from a donor. It is a last resort treatment for people with end-stage emphysema who are not responding to other treatments.
Lung transplantation is a major surgery with significant risks, including rejection of the transplanted lung, infection, and bleeding. However, it can be a life-saving treatment for people with end-stage emphysema.
New technologies are being developed to treat emphysema. One promising technology is gene therapy, which involves inserting genes into the cells of the lungs to repair the damage caused by emphysema. Another promising technology is stem cell therapy, which involves using stem cells to regenerate new lung tissue.
These new technologies are still in the early stages of development, but they have the potential to revolutionize the treatment of emphysema.
Correlate your responses to Mr. Jones’ case.
Mr. Jones is a 65-year-old man who has been diagnosed with COPD. He has a long history of smoking and has been experiencing shortness of breath, cough, and wheezing for several years.
Mr. Jones’ COPD is likely caused by his smoking history. The smoke from cigarettes damages the airways and alveoli, leading to chronic bronchitis and emphysema.
Mr. Jones’ COPD has put him at an increased risk of heart failure. The damage to his lungs has made it harder for his heart to pump blood, and he is now at risk of developing pulmonary hypertension and left ventricular hypertrophy.
Mr. Jones is a good candidate for lung transplantation. He is young and otherwise healthy, and he has a strong support system in place.
New technologies are being developed to treat COPD, but they are still in the early stages of development. Mr. Jones may be able to benefit from these new treatments in the future.
I hope this helps!
