...From the scenario, differentiate between the concepts of criminal law, antitrust, and health care as they apply to U.S. health law in the 21st Century. Conceptualize the primary ways in which these laws apply to U.S. health care administrators. In order to properly analyze between the concepts of criminal law, antitrust law, and the health care law I had to fully understand them individually. Worldwide, the criminal law is what protects and maintains the public well-being and safety of our communities. Criminal laws are directed to a system that is concerned with the punishment of those who commit crimes. The Antitrust law, helps prevent and/or control the intent of promoting competition within a business. Furthermore, we all understand that the health care law simply oversees all health issues whether it has to do with the physician, facility, and/or patient. In the 21st century, the primary way in which the laws apply to the U.S. health care administrator is based on how to receive proper business with affecting physician and patients. The criminal law deals with more on to properly treat someone who is in need of care within the health care establishment. The antitrust law differs tremendously. The antitrust laws in the United States is more comprehensive than those of other industrialized nations. Many other industrialized nations, perhaps because they focus on the possibility of foreign competition, have minimal antitrust law. In the United States, the original antitrust...

...Module 3 Discussion An income statement is a summary of revenues and expenses and gains and losses, ending with net income for a specific period of time. Indicate the two traditional formats for presenting the income statement. Which of these formats is preferable for analysis? Why? When you respond to this discussion question, I expect to see a brief discussion on the importance of the income statement. After which, you need to respond to the other requirements completely. The income statement of any company is often considered the most important reporting tool. The income statement shows revenues, expenses, gains, and losses. It gives the users of financial information a snap shot view, at any specific point in time, the profitability of the company. If the net amount of revenues and gains minus expenses and losses is positive, the bottom line of the profit and loss statement is labeled as net income. If the net amount (or bottom line) is negative, there is a net loss. According to Averkamp in an article in Accounting Coach, he states that, “People pay attention to the profitability of a company for many reasons. For example, if a company was not able to operate profitably—the bottom line of the income statement indicates a net loss—a banker/lender/creditor may be hesitant to extend additional credit to the company. On the other hand, a company that has operated profitably—the bottom line of the income statement indicates a net income—demonstrated its ability to...

...Response to Discussion Mod 3 1. Job order costing is a system for assigning manufacturing costs to individual products. Job order cost systems is used when products are made based on specific customer orders. Each product produced is considered a job. Costs are tracked by each job. 2. Residential Home Construction company 2a. A Job Order Cost system can be used to help maximize profits in a residential home construction company by measuring and recording direct material cost, direct labor cost and applying these costs to specific jobs. Each home can be considered a separate “job” and as such each home is billed separately. Once job order cost system has been utilized a construction company can determine the profit of building a specific type of home. By utilizing job order cost a construction company can identify whether using a certain material or laborer can reduce the cost of building and increase the profit margin, or vice versa. 2b. Cost control forces a construction company to ensure that all decisions made during the construction of a home are based on an estimate of cost propositions of the alternatives being considered, and that no decisions are taken whose cost propositions will cause the total budget to be surpassed. This ensures that each model will be profitable for the company. 2c. A residential home construction company can maximize profits by producing houses that have similar material and designs. A construction company has the potential of purchasing bricks...

...Discussion Board 3 Establishing a rapport with somebody, regardless of their perspective or worldview, involves understanding and the capacity to compromise. It is imperative that you be receptive and listen to what they have to say, regardless of wither you agree with them are not. Religion can be an enormous part of somebody's life; however it doesn’t have to be the determining factor in relationships. You can't ethically or morally, as a Christian, choose not to associate with someone just because the two of you don’t share the same beliefs. Totally distinctive perspectives and convictions exist between Christians and Buddhists Worldviews, that doesn't mean you can't be friends. However, Christians and Buddhist do share some of the same morals codes. Christians and Buddhists alike don’t believe in stealing, lying, murder, and pre-marital sex. As well as, you should treat others the same way you want to be treated. There aren’t numerous similarities between these two religions, though. Christians believe in one God, whose image they were made in, and that they suffer because of their sins. Entering Heaven is their ultimate goal, but in order to make it in, a person must repent of their sins and except Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. Buddhists don’t worship a God, and they believe there is an endless cycle of births and deaths, they believe desire is the cause for suffering, and in order to abolish suffering they must eliminate desire. Buddhist are trying to obtain...

...Recently, I received a request to perform an x-ray on a patient who was newly admitted to the hospital’s intensive care unit. After explaining that I was there to perform an x-ray of her chest, her first remark was that she did not want to have another x-ray because she had an hour before in her doctor’s office. She was adamant about the fact that we should be able to view the image that she had in the doctor’s office within the hospital. I responded that because the exam was done in the doctor’s office and not the hospital, her physician would be unable to gain access to the image or results of the exam. Unfortunately, she was not thrilled with my answer and refused the exam. This example is one reason why the patient’s information should be recorded electronically. Legislation passed during the Bush administration which requires an electronic health record (EHR) to be established for all Americans by 2014(Hebda& Czar, 2009). An EHR can be defined as a “digital collection of patient’s medical history and could include items like diagnosed medical conditions, prescribed medications, vital signs, immunizations, lab results, and personnel characteristics like age and weight”(Hebda& Czar, 2009,page 295). The electronic record would replace the current method of recording patient data which is the paper chart. The data in the paper chart is compiled of handwritten entries and other printed documents (Englebert &Nelson 2002). In my dealings with paper charts, I have often not...

...Discussion Questions Discussion Questions How do you define working capital? What may happen if an organization neglected to manage its working capital? What techniques do you recommend for your organization? Why? * * The equation for working capital is assets minus liabilities. Anything below 1 indicates negative working capital. If a company neglects maintaining their working capital, they run the risk of being in debt or even going bankrupt. Some techniques organizations due to ensure they have a good amount of working capital is ensuring they are paid on time (accounts receivable). In addition, it is also important they are paying their creditors on time. Last, it is important to invest any excess cash to maximize profitability. * What is capital planning? Why is the internal rate of return important to an organization? Why is net present value important to a project? How do you select from multiple projects presented to your organization? * * Capital planning is the process of planning for the future or replacing equipment. When capital planning, it is important to take the value of money into consideration. Thus, will the product or equipment have a higher return? In addition, will the product or the project retain its value in the foreseeable future? Another reason why the internal rate of return is important, is because it tells the organization if the risk of the investment. Net present value is taken into consideration when investing because...

...accept a new client or continue working with an old one are the “foundation of the risk assessment process, primarily at the financial statement level” (2). a. Present arguments supporting a decision to accept Tierra Corporation as an audit client. Considering the different areas of risk that Tower & Tower would be undertaking, there are some arguments to support their decision to take Tierra Corporation on as a new client. First, Tierra Corporation’s banker and attorney had great things to say about the company. Nothing that was mentioned was a concern for either of those outside parties. Next, the company is successful and profitable. The profitability of the potential client would actually reduce the amount of engagement risk (3). Another argument for the acceptance of the new client is that Tower & Tower seems to be in a position to take on the engagement. Next, this company would result in a profitable engagement for Tower & Tower, as the audit fee would be substantial. They would gain Tierra Corporation as a client and potentially other companies through which they are associated. In talking with various parties, Tammy found that Lewis Edmund, the owner of Tierra Corporation, is in good standing with the community. This could go to show that he has a certain level of...

...therefore it is important to learn what to delegate and who to delegate it to. The most important tasks should be done by the supervisor but as far as things such as someone’s vacation hours and stocking merchandise for the store, those tasks should be delegated out to the assistant manager and to the store clerks. Being a supervisor means being in a role of leadership, logic, common sense, and decision making for yourself, the employees, and for the company. The “in Basket” debate and discussion gives us and our fellow classmates the opportunity to see if we can successfully delegate out certain tasks as a supervisor at a fictitious company. The discussion between me and fellow classmates was a great one and it appeared as though everyone agreed on everything accept for different incidents. The only two incidents where I came across disagreement were in regards to task number 3, and task number 4. These are the examples in which I will be using in this paper as far as disagreeing is concerned. Task number 3 is in regards to the mall hours changing for an upcoming holiday and that there is a request for store plans. In my own opinion and the opinion of all of my fellow classmates accept for one that I could find agreed that this task needed to be done by the Supervisor. The disagreeing student felt that it should be delegated to the Assistant Manager. This task should be done by the supervisor because it is not only a very important one...

Abraham Lincoln “The virtue of justice consists in moderation, as regulated by wisdom”. Aristotle ”Nobody gets justice. People only get good luck or bad luck”. Orson Welles Justice = mid-12c., "the exercise of authority in vindication of right by assigning reward or punishment;" also "quality of being fair and just," from Old French justice "justice, legal rights, jurisdiction" (11c.), from Latin iustitia "righteousness, equity," from iustus "upright, just" . The Old French word had widespread senses, including "uprightness, equity, vindication of right, court of justice, judge." The word began to be used in English c.1200 as a title for a judicial officer. Meaning "right order, equity" is late 14c. Justice of the peace first attested early 14c. In the Mercian hymns, Latin iustitia is glossed by Old English rehtwisnisse. To do justice to (someone or something) "render fully and fairly showing due appreciation" is from 1670s.

...Discussion Board Unit 3 Comp102/1401B Introduction to Computer Lab For your discussion board for Week 3, use your favorite search engine to research the steps necessary to do an effective presentation using PowerPoint. Explore beyond your first results, and look for information that interests you and that you did not know about making effective presentations. I had found this website while researching steps to effective presentations (http://presentationsoft.about.com/od/powerpointtips/qt/planningppt.htm). This site focuses more on the before steps before you start actually designing your PowerPoint presentation. I thought that this was useful because in order to create a PowerPoint presentation you should be prepared and have your information ready In Gathering your Information they used a saying that caught my attention (Kiss-Keep It Simple Silly). I thought that was a good reminder to not overdue yourself on the presentation. Also I thought that sticking with 3 or 4 main points for your presentation was a good tip because if you use too much information then your presentation will lose the audience’s attention. I found this website Speaking about Presenting at (http://www.speakingaboutpresenting.com/design/effective-powerpoint-presentations/). It caught my attention with the phrases that they used. Avoid cheesy effects and focus on simple design basics. This site also had tips on viewing the PowerPoint presentation pertaining to the backgrounds of the slides...
