...Professional Regulation and Criminal Liability in Delaware Lorna J. Granston 05/26/14 HCS 430 Dr. J. Kaplan There are statutes that regulate health care professional on a federal level.

Regulatory statutes on the State level can offer specific policy and procedures for professional licensure, credentialing, certification and registration for those in health care.

...Professional Regulation and Criminal Liability July 16, 2015 HCS/430 Professional Regulation and Criminal Liability: Pharmacists A profession is “an occupation based on the mastery of a complex body of knowledge and skills. It is a vocation in which the practice of an art is used in the services of others” (Schmitz & Martin, 2008, p. 1). Belonging to a certain profession requires one to agree to demonstrate integrity, selflessness, competency as well as morality. This becomes the foundation on which the medical profession gets autonomy of practice from the society and a chance to experience self-regulation. Pharmacy is one of the medical professions whose practitioners help people to utilize medications to the best. It is notable that since professionals own specialized knowledge which the client does not have, the possibility of the professional exploiting the client exists. It is however important to note that such exploitation leads to very severe consequences since it has violated the guiding regulations for pharmacists. While executing the duties of a pharmacist, it is possible to make mistakes that have serious consequences. There are a number of ways in which professional misconduct among pharmacists can be handled. The Board of Pharmacy may take action against the pharmacists where a hearing is made before any disciplinary action is taken. The violation of regulations may also be presented before a civil court or before a criminal court. In case of a compliant...

...1. The administrative agencies that control this regulation: The Department of Defense, the General Services Administration, and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and subsequently, the Small Business Administration. This regulation would affect me as a small business owner because it would change the way all levels of government do business with privately -held small businesses, such as mine. 2. This is a proposal to amend the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to include government-wide, standardized past performance evaluation factors and ratings categories, and that this past performance information be entered into the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS). 3. My comment: While I concur that the FAR should be amended in this way, I believe that the current proposal is too vague to be effective. Standardizations tend to group things into categories that are either “black” or “white”, causing a great injustice to those who would only fit in areas of “gray”. Therefore, I suggest a thorough investigation into the actual effects that the proposal would have on all businesses- large and small, experienced and novel, old and new, etc. I also believe this proposal should not be enacted until real evidence, showing complete equality and fairness among all businesses, is presented to and reviewed by the public. 4. This expires on November 5, 2012 5. A. Based on the Administrative Procedure Act of 1946, if I choose, I would...

...Assignment 1: Research Topics with Explanation Krista Reynolds Professor Eric Thompson English 215 April 15, 2014 Topic 1: Should regulations for homeschools be changed? I have chosen this topic because our children’s future lies within the regulations. My audience for this paper will be Professor Eric Thompson and my peers. Education is cornerstone to a person’s future in today’s society. Each and every American (including our children) has the basic civil rights. One of those rights is the right to an equal education. By not enforcing regulations on homeschooling are the rights of the child being violated? While some states regulate homeschool parents by requiring the parent to obtain a state teaching certification, there are still many that don’t require any regulation. Without regulation of schools, whether they be public, private or in the home, we are risking our risking our future to a generation that has little adaptability to our ever changing society. Credible sources expected to use: (Kreager, 2010); (Waddell, 2010) Topic 2: Should minors who commit violent crimes be tried as adults? I have chosen this topic because it holds the future of our children and the future of our country within its laws and courtrooms. The audience for this paper will be Professor Eric Thompson and peers. By treating our children as adults for crimes they commit are we holding them accountable or are we creating “super-predators” out of our troubled youth? Not only...

...Question One Self-regulation is increasingly becoming the norm in numerous industries globally. Various industries, such as health care, advertising, professional sports, and energy, have used self-regulatory processes to administer industry practices. The main motivation behind self-regulation in industries is to limit the level of government interference in the industry and also maintain consumer trust and confidence in the industry itself. One of the main goals that drive an industry to regulate itself is the sole purpose of generating profit. The players within the industry have an objective to minimize their financial costs and at the same time increase their financial benefits by attaining profits. Self-regulation may also help firms adopt ethical behavior and values since the guidelines are based on social standards and behavior of the other firms as well rather than laid down rules which are forced down upon them. This may help introduce a better level of respect and recognition of the rules and will end up in better company behavior, and escape argumentative circumstances in which companies try to look for exceptions to rules which are not implemented by the industry itself. In addition, self-regulation benefits the companies by creating a more flexible regulatory situation than is normally found with government regulation. This more flexible regulatory situation may let companies to function more efficiently and reduces any costs that would have been incurred...
