project 3 Financial Impact of Healthcare

February 22, 2020 1 Comment APA, Health Care and Life Sciences

From co-pays to prescription costs, healthcare impacts society’s pocketbook. Under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), the goal is to provide all individuals in the United States with health insurance coverage. In an effort to minimize the impact of the cost of healthcare, the out-of-pocket expenses have also been capped for individuals and families under the ACA. If an employer doesn’t provide coverage, consumers are left to navigate the insurance exchanges or decline with penalties which can be confusing and frustrating.

In this assignment you are to imagine yourself as a case advocate for a single mother of 3 children under the age of 5. Develop an action plan or “plan of attack” for maximizing healthcare coverage utilizing the insurance exchanges while simultaneously keeping out of pocket costs at a minimum. Be sure to include the impact of declining health insurance, the penalties, and a “what if” scenario when a child the mother gets sick or injured. What factors would you need consider prior to making a recommendation for them? Your paper should be 1 – 2 pages, double-spaced in 12 pt. font.

How would you summarize the message of the Old Testament? What is the storyline from beginning to end? What are its central events? What are its key themes? How did the story end? How is your life (and in what ways) is your life a continuation of that sto

For the ALP, students should rely on the textbooks, commentaries, and other reference sources
like a concordance and dictionaries or encyclopedias of the Bible. The student must interact with
these commentaries and resources by evaluating interpretations of the Bible.
The paper should have a clear introduction explaining what you intend to accomplish and what
you will address in your study. The paper should end with a concluding paragraph which either
summarizes what was accomplished or suggests further implications of your study.

project 2 Healthcare Advocacy

February 22, 2020 No Comments APA, Health Care and Life Sciences

Imagine being a patient in a healthcare provider’s office and you feel like your concerns are not being heard. Additionally, the provider is not communicating with you in a way that is easily comprehensible.

Now, imagine that you are a patient from a different culture and/or special population. The materials within the provider’s office are not in a language you understand or delivered in a manner that you can process.

In this assignment, you are taking the role of a Patient Diversity Coordinator. Explain the value of communication in health practices and the role it plays within our healthcare system today. Research services available at a local healthcare system or clinic. How would you advocate for the patients that are from diverse population and communicate their needs to ensure they get the quality of care needed? Your paper should be 1 – 2 pages, double-spaced in 12 pt. font.

Three Imperatives for Effective Manager

February 22, 2020 5 Comments Business and Management, Not applicable

Hello, please write a one page single-spaced paper with three imperatives, each paragraph starts with “The Effective Manager…”. You need to write three paragraphs in total and each paragraph requires to reference to the two readings I attached: India’s Unique Identification System and When technology gets ahead of Society. Please leave me a message if you need any more clarification. Thank you!

The effective manager tests their presumptions and assumptions. As Neustadt and May delineate, there are three kinds of presumptions that leaders must be cautious of ignoring: maybes, if/thens and knowns. When creating a plan, an effective manager must know when they are making assumptions about the current situation, the cause/effect relationships they are relying on, and their values in determining a course of action. Otherwise they might not recognize the importance of shifting circumstances to whether or not their plan will be successful. For President Kennedy, the situation around the Bay of Pigs kept evolving prior to the mission being launched, but nothing changed the teams determination that the operation was sure to succeed

The effective manager surrounds him/herself with trusted agents in areas that arent their expertise. We have seen throughout our case studies leaders (Miller, Bratton, Krieger) bringing in key advisors for areas that arent their core competence. Krieger had a military counter-part, Bratton had Maple (crime) and Miller (media). While President Kennedy had his share of trusted advisors; none of them had competencies in military or covert planning. The situation was further exacerbated by the newness of his administration and having an incomplete understanding of the CIA as Neustadt and May articulate in Placing Organizations. This lead to miscommunication and a lack of situational understanding.
