...Assignment 2 Financing and Restructuring Health Care Dr. David Tataw HSA 500 Health Services Organization January 28, 2012 Abstract: This paper analyses the Financing and Structuring Health Care by analyzing four important notions. Firstly it Identifies and describe the three main types of health insurances in the U.S. Secondly it explains the three methods for categorizing health insurance in the U.S. This is followed by a synthesis of the pros and cons of managed health care for the health care provider, insurer, and patient. Finally the papers describe the impact of managed care on both the Medicare and Medicaid programs. Identify and describe the three main types of health insurances in the U.S. Rodts (2010) talks about the new Healthcare system in US and the challenges it brings for healthcare providers but there is always challenge when one has to select the certain type of health cover for himself. It is therefore important to understand main types of health insurance in the US. While Hall (2010) outlined the three different types of reinsurances brought about by the health reform, Health Insurance Info (2010) notes that are a number of different types of health insurance coverage designed to meet the needs and budget of a variety of individuals. In essence, health insurance is a risk management tool that ensures you and your family has access to the healthcare you need, when you need it without causing a tremendous financial burden. The cost of health insurance...

...The Impact of Obamacare on the Economy Kimberly Carter Dr. Monjica-Howell MGT 5064: Cost and Economic Analysis 23 April 2013 Abstract In 2010, there were approximately 50 million uninsured Americans. In March 2010, President Obama signed into law a piece of legislation that reformed American’s healthcare industry. The legislation is coined as “Obamacare.” Supporters argue Obamacare provides coverage for our nation’s uninsured while boosting economy. Opponents argue Obamacare will increase healthcare costs and in turn, add to the deficit. The research supports the belief that improving the health status of the American citizens does result in economic expenditures for the United States. There is a relationship between affordable healthcare and the economy. The impact Obamacare has on the economy can be viewed through a simple math equation, a return on investment analysis. The return on investment analysis revealed a positive return on investment. The results suggest American has invested wisely. Investing in the healthcare of the American citizens will improve productivity, is cost effective, and reduces healthcare care costs. The Impact of Obamacare on the Economy In 2010, there were approximately 50 million uninsured Americans. This means that 16.9% of American’s population is uninsured. The numbers are overwhelming and reveal healthcare in American is not affordable. Many argue that the cost of healthcare has doubled in recent years (Department...

...Psychology of Advertising Term Project Mike Czarnik (RU: 900276595) April 20th 2014 Professor Sarah Jones Advertisement #1: Heineken Beer This advertisement is made for the beer Heineken. It was published in a 1974 edition of Playboy magazine and took a full page out in order to grab reader’s attention. According to Playboy Magazines media kit, almost 80% of the readers are male and the reader’s median age is roughly 39 years old. Because of this demographic, an assumption can be made that Heineken was trying to target this group of people. Playboy’s media kit also offers further information on their readers. It states that their average male house hold income is about $71,000 and that nearly 65% of all readers are single. Although these facts are for the 2014 media kit, it can be assumed that for a men’s entertainment magazine the demographics have not changed substantially. Heineken was most likely trying to appeal to this male demographic when they placed their ad. The ad itself was showcased on a full page of the magazine. It displayed an unopened bottle of Imported Heineken Lager beer resting at the edge of a beach. Water from the ocean is coming up around the bottom of the bottle and nothing but ocean can be seen in the background. This is the main focal point of the ad. The secondary focal point and another focus for the reader are above the bottle. The words read, “Oceans apart from the ordinary.” The words are the boldest on the page and in the largest font...

...Abstract Raves have historically referred to grass-roots organized, anti-establishment and unlicensed all night dance parties, featuring electronically-produced dance music (EDM), such as techno, house, trance and drum and bass. Since their late 1980s origins in the U.K., raves have gained widespread popularity and transformed dramatically. Consequently, their many cultural traits and behaviors have garnered much sociological interest, which mostly falls into two competing perspectives: cultural studies and public health. In this paper, we review what raves look like today compared to their high point in the 1990s. We then discuss how the cultural studies and public health perspectives define raves and have studied them over time, focusing on the “pet” sociological concepts each has sought to advance. Our analysis of these literatures reveals important differences in rave research by country and over time. We end by discussing the politics associated with the shift in rave research. Introduction Society has been greatly influenced by many alternative scenes, subcultures, or lifestyles oriented around music, youth and young adults (Epstein 1998). Some of the more notable ones include the English punk scene in the 1970s- 1980s, the U.S. jazz (1930s-1940s) and hippie scenes (1970s), and the 1990s rave scenes in the U.K. and U.S. From them have come musical innovation, social identity, fashion and other aesthetic nuances, and mainstream and alternative cultural production...

COMPREHENSIVE EXAM 2 Section I: Introduction Statement of the Problem Although 60% of African Americans in the United States have stated that they would want hospice care when they are dying (AARP, 2003), they only comprise 8% of all hospice enrollees (NHPCO, 2007), despite the fact that they represent 13% of the total population in this country (U.S. Census Bureau, 2008). In fact, hospice care in this nation has always been underutilized by African Americans (Connor, Elwert, Spence,...

An Investigation into Attitudes to Workplace Creativity and the Role of Innovation StylesTM as a Model to Enhance and Encourage Creative Thinking in Groups at NCP. Abstract In recent years, organisational creativity has attracted much attention from academics and leadership experts. This is due in part to the relationship between creativity and innovation and also because employees throughout organisations are facing unfamiliar, complex problems. These new problems require novel solutions and as such, a high level of creative thinking is required. Increasingly, the workforce is being asked to identify the real problem, uncover problem-related information and then produce and evaluate a diversity of possible solutions. While organisations are constantly seeking innovative solutions, there is a great deal of evidence to suggest that leadership attitudes to creativity and organisational culture exert a powerful...

We hypothesized that advertising that disrupts the experience of narrative transportation may be adversely appraised by audiences. This study aimed to explore the influence of two types of television programs: narratives (dramas, comedies, and soap operas) versus nonnarratives (light entertainment, sports, documentaries, and news), on smokers’ reactions to antismoking advertisements. In preexposure interviews, daily smokers (n ¼ 779) were asked to watch a particular television program they usually watched. Postexposure interviews were conducted within 3 days of exposure. Results indicated that placing an antismoking ad within a program in which the viewer is focused on the narrative flow of a story may lead to reduced immediate cognitive and emotional impact of the ad and reduced intentions to quit, especially among those for whom the ad is most relevant, such as those preparing to quit smoking. Placing antismoking advertising...

Thus, the health information manager must possess a fundamental understanding of the law. ...
