...height of the Great Depression, Kaiser Permanente is now one of the largest, not for profit hospital organizations in America. Through a sequence of unforeseen events and the development of the prepaid health plan system, it grew from a simple 12-bed facility in the Mojave Desert to 38 hospitals and 622 medical offices stretching from Hawaii and the Pacific Northwest to Colorado, Georgia and Washington, D.C. and its suburbs. (Press Release, 2015) World War II is the historic event that really impacted the growth of Kaiser Permanente. As the Grand Coulee Dam Project was coming to an end in 1941, America was entering World War II. This meant that ships and other steel products had to be built and would require tens of thousand of workers. Henry J. Kaiser would employ these workers but also had the obligation to provide healthcare for them and their families. Knowing Dr. Sidney Garfield from previous projects, including the Grand Coulee Dam Project, Mr. Kaiser called Dr. Garfield to implement the prepayment healthcare model that was very successful in the past. Upon calling, Mr. Kaiser discovered that Dr. Garfield was entering active duty with an Army Reserve unit and would be leaving in a few weeks. In a plea made to President Franklin Roosevelt from Henry J. Kaiser, Dr. Garfield was released from the military and begin to plan and lead a prepaid group practice for the workers at the shipyards. This is how the innovative healthcare system got to the San Francisco Bay area and...

...Robert Schiller Grand Coulee Dam The Grand Coulee Dam was hailed as the "Eighth Wonder of the World" in 1941 when it was finished being built. It blocks the Columbia River with 12 million cubic yards of concrete, and spreads over a mile wide with the height of a 46-story building all holding back a 150-mile long reservoir called Lake Roosevelt. The dam produces more kilowatts than any other dam in the United States. The Grand Coulee was only part of the Columbia Basin Project that included four additional dams, three reservoir lakes, and approximately 2,300 miles of irrigation canals all making their way through a half a million acres of desert. It has been deemed as the largest public works project that has had the greatest impact on the economic development of the Pacific Northwest. But, the social and environmental costs were severe that the Grand Coulee Dam more than likely could not be built today. The Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) hired folksinger Woody Guthrie in May 1941, to promote the federal dams on the Columbia River. The issue was who should build the dams: private power companies or the federal government. The power companies had a stable of influential lobbyists. The government had Guthrie, whose generation felt the undammed river was a resource going to waste. Guthrie earned $266.66 and spent the month traveling around the Columbia Basin writing 26 songs in 30 days. The most famous of these is "Roll on Columbia, Roll On," sung to the tune of "Goodnight...

...effects of this colonialism as it made him resent the Europeans and hampered his spiritual connection with the earth. Alexie has been “told that [he] must forgive” the Europeans for the devastation they caused his tribe (Alexie 520). Only when the “floodwaters burst each successive dam/ downriver from the Grand Coulee” did Alexie promise to forgive (Alexie 520). The dams and the Grand Coulee are man-made structures that Alexie believed ruined nature as they flooded the lands and altered the habitats. By harming the environment, Alexie felt that his spiritual connection with the lands was not as strong, but the European’s colonialism had happened for so long that he was forced to adapt. Alexie, as a native American, saw the world in a positive light and derived all of his beliefs from the land. In altering his homelands, the Europeans ruined any possible relationships he could have formed with the settlers by destroying his view of how the world should be. Therefore, he began to believe that the European influence had to be totally wiped out in order to restore his tribe. Instead of seeing cities taking over the region, he would see “flooded cities, broken dams and abandoned reactors” after the dams burst and the floodwater cleansed the impure lands (Alexie 520). Due to their effort to colonize the territory, Alexie saw the Europeans in a terrible...

...energy plant is damaged, such as the Japan nuclear power plant disaster. It is desirable to use and develop renewable, clean and safe energy sources such as solar, wind, geothermal, hydroelectric, and hydrogen energy to decrease and prevent any risk of casualties or complications. Washington State produces the energy in the nation, and producing for itself 70 percent of electricity that is consumed. On a slightly bigger scale, 75 percent of America relies on water energy to power our homes and other facilities. Globally, hydroelectric power provides one fifth of the world’s energy. How Dams Produce Electricity Hydro energy has been used for a long time as a useful energy source to power water turbines, which is one method that is commonly used now to directly convert water energy into electric energy. You’ll see them put to use in dams, especially the well known Hoover dam or in the largest dam in the United...

...Managed Care Lucille Purry Economics of Healthcare Faculty Sever South University 10 December 2013 Abstract Managed care, a deliver system for health care intended to reduce the cost of that care. Examples of managed care organizations are HMO, IPA, PPO, POS and PFFS. MCO’s operate through contractual agreements that are set to meet certain standards due to the fact that they don’t have direct control. Managed care provider and hospital reimbursement ranges from fee for service and capitation. Episode-of-care is where providers receive one lump sum for all the services they provide related to a condition or disease, and capitation is where the third party payer reimburses providers a fixed amount for a period. There are many other forms of reimbursement between these two methods and vary depending on service. Risk – based payment applies to both hospitals and providers. With so many choices in health care coverage and means of payments, it becomes necessary to be sure you have a complete understanding of what is expected from you, what is covered and not covered and to be sure any treatment is necessary. Along with managed care, we have to consider how this affects Medicare and Medicaid. These have changed the healthcare system and joined together to better serve the public. Managed care; advantages and disadvantages as well as how it came to be are to follow. Managed Health Care dates as far back as 1910; one example is when the Western Clinic in Tacoma, Washington...

...For the exclusive use of B. Tu 9-504-096 REV: NOVEMBER 22, 2004 YOUNGME MOON The Birth of the Swatch Ten years ago, the people on the original Swatch team asked a crazy question: Why can’t we design a striking, low-cost, high-quality watch and build it in Switzerland? The bankers were skeptical. A few suppliers refused to sell us parts. They said we would ruin the industry with this crazy product. But the team overcame the resistance and got the job done. — Nicolas Hayek1 In 1993, Swatch was the best-selling watch in the history of the watch industry. In 1992 alone, it sold 27 million units, while cumulative sales surpassed 100 million units (see Exhibit 1). In addition, it was widely acknowledged that the entire Swiss watch industry had been on the brink of disaster when the Swatch had been introduced 10 years ago; the phenomenal success of the Swatch was considered by many to have been a key factor in its resurgence. At the management level, much of the credit for the turnaround had been directed toward Nicolas Hayek, CEO of the Societe Suisse de Microelectronique et d’Horlogerie (SMH), which controlled nine global Swiss brands including Swatch. Over the past 10 years, Hayek had led the way for the success of the Swatch by committing SMH to a business strategy that in many ways defied industry wisdom about how global watch companies should be run. This strategy was based on a strict commitment to vertical integration (the company assembled all of...

...CASE: SM-136 DATE: 10/24/04 BETTER MEDICINE THROUGH INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY INTRODUCTION The health care industry in the United States was troubled. Most of the world’s state-of-the-art health care research occurred in U.S. university and corporate laboratories. Similarly, most of the best centers in the world for delivery of health care were located in the U.S. However, the costs of health care in the United States were exploding and overall quality, along many dimensions, was not increasing. For U.S. consumers it was the best of times and the worst of times—health care services were often terrific if judged by the ability of individual physicians to do more for patients and yet, as judged on almost any broad parameter such as life expectancy or infant mortality, the United States was at best average compared to other developed countries. In most developed countries, spending on health care grew dramatically over the past several years. This increase in spending, combined with lower overall economic growth, pushed up the share of health care expenditure as a percentage of gross domestic product (GDP) of OECD countries from an average 7.8 percent in 1997 to 8.5 percent in 2002. By comparison, the share of GDP spent on health care remained almost unchanged from 1992 to 1997 (Exhibit 1). In the United States, health care expenditure grew 2.3 times faster than GDP, rising from 13 percent in 1997 to 14.6 percent in 2002. Spending was $5,267 per capita in 2002, almost 140 percent...
