...Week Two Wrap Up – The Fabric of Healthcare Law By Mary Nell Cummings In week two we discussed how legislation and other laws affect healthcare delivery. While there is no need to understand any law in detail at this point in the course, it is important to understand the source of law. Also, it is important to understand how law affects your organization, as well as how your organization complies with legal requirements. Finally, your understanding of the sources of law, and the process of regulation will help you to make good decisions as a health care administrator. The Sources of Law Many people believe that all law comes from the Congress or from state legislatures. They believe that law is synonymous with “statute” which is a particular kind of law – drafted, debated, and voted on by a group of legislators. This is of course, not correct. There are many other sources of law. There is the federal constitution, and the constitution of each state. There is law made through regulatory agencies (administrative law) and there is law made by judicial decision (common law). This combination of approaches and interests leads to the rich fabric that is simply described as healthcare law. Common Law Contract Law: Contract law is at the heart of healthcare delivery. Insurance companies enter into contracts with patients, providers, facilities, and governments (state and federal). Doctors and hospitals enter into contracts with one another. Unions and employers enter into contracts with...

...My analytical write up will focus on chapter six, which emphasizes sexual practices. The readings I chose are The Pursuit of Sexual Pleasure, Getting, Giving, Faking, Having: Orgasm and the Performance of Pleasure and The Privilege of Perversities: Race, Class and Education Among Polyamorists and Kinksters. The first two readings are somewhat related and similar, however, the last one is a bit different where it explains research in regards to kinksters and polyamorists. These three readings were the ones that caught my attention off the bat and the reading only enforced that feeling. The first reading, The Pursuit of Sexual Pleasure, educates the audience to sexual activity of all kinds. It begins by giving us a general idea of what is considered sexual pleasure. When I had originally thought of sexual pleasure, I thought of sexual activity between two people, rather than the self-pleasure aspect of it, as is mentioned in the reading. “Sexual pleasure may result from a variety of activities that involve sexual arousal, genital stimulation, and/or orgasm”. Solitary sex involves fantasy and masturbation. Solitary sex is something that I had never realized is considered sexual pleasure. It makes complete sense, however, I just did not link the two. From there, the reading goes on to talk about partnered sexual activity, which includes kissing, touching, oral sex, penis-in-vagina intercourse, and anal sex. These are the activities I usually think of when sexual pleasure is mentioned...

...WrapItUp: Developing a new compensation Plan – Case Study Why do you think Martha Reyes made a personal visit to the store managers to discuss the program? Key issues: - There was a huge problem of attracting( ACQUIRING) and retaining( RETENTION) top talent - Frustration among employees that there is no pay difference (PARITY) between the top and low range of band - Lack of motivation among managers - LIBERTY TO DECIDE ON MENU IN CONTINGENT SITUATION/ CRAFTING MENU [ WHILE VEGETABLES WERE OUT OF STOCK] WAS NOT ALLOWED - Customers were getting bored of the same menu - The revenue was always flat. ShareIt Pilot When Reyes decided to hire a consultant to study the causes for the problem and to resolve it, they came up with ShareIt programme, a new compensation plan where the profits will be shared among managers, help grow individual store profits and motivate managers. Under the new programme, the profits will directly be equal to the performance metric, the managers appraisal will be linked to the performance and not the revenue of the firm. It was 35:15:50 model where 35% profit will go the manager, 15% will go to the associates and 50% will go the firm. When they decided to launch this as a pilot progamme, they chose two outlets – Santa Monica & Cosa Mesa, Reyes decided to make a personal visit to the places and brief the managers in person because - To motivate the managers and make sure they accept the offer - Being in person will give more confidence about...

...Wrap-up Q&A Response Paper Wrap-up Q&A Response Paper There are certain aspects that may impact legal sentencing, and they differ by authority; but many legal systems contain a set of suggestions for sentencing, including a least and highest possible punishment that may be added. Within that range, information of the legal offenses are often taken into consideration when figuring out what treatment might comprise sensible sentencing. Different people might suggest different punishments for the same legal offenses, and the same legal offenses carried out by different criminals might cause different punishments. Criminal sentencing is a summary practice, not a process that can be in the past motivated. First up, the type of legal offenses committed impacts legal sentencing. Almost always, more serious violations result in more serious punitive measures. Chaotic violations are often tried more severely than violations like control of medication or thievery, although there are some conditions (Cullen et.al 1997). Truth about how the legal offenses were dedicated might impact legal sentencing. Crimes that position little risk to people whether or not actual assault was involved are usually tried as severely as those where assault isn’t. It is worth noting that different idol judges might be harder than others, and different areas are more likely to discipline certain violations more severely. Current activities, nation-wide politics, and even the feelings of the judges...

...wanted to share this information with you guys to help you become more “credible” to those skeptical costumers out there that want a more in depth explanation of why and/or how it works. I recently received my Master’s in Exercise Physiology and actually specialized in Bioenergetics…so this is right up my ally!...I love anything having to do with Bioenergetics and Metabolism. So why does this product work for both men and women?....and just like anything else why do men tend to lose more or have better results? It simply has to do with our fat patterns, women have a gynoid fat pattern (pear shape), where as men have an android fat pattern (apple shape). As we know it, men will always have greater and faster results than women; this is due to their fat pattern. Android (men) fat pattern is easily broken down and mobile (which is why men tend to have higher rates of heart attacks because their fat is so mobile). On the other hand, Gynoid (women) fat pattern is “stubborn” so to speak, which means it is hard for women to break down fat as efficiently as men. With that being said this product is great for everyone, women in particular, because this product simply helps to speed up the process at which fats/toxins gets moving and utilized through Beta Oxidation…which would be known as a catalyst ….if we want to sound scientific to our clients ;) Some may ask….well why do you get the best result after 72 hours?....because Beta Oxidation (the metabolism of fat) is an extremely slow...

...substances. We put the first egg in water, the second egg in corn syrup and the third egg we wrapped in saran wrap and placed in an empty cup. We used an egg in place of a cell because they both have similar qualities, such as the cytoplasm being the inside of the egg and the nucleus being the yolk. Diffusion is the movement of cells from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a semi-permeable membrane. Diffusion and osmosis are important because they help with cellular respiration, which is how we stay alive. We conducted this experiment...

...Product Concepts MCDONALD’S HAS TEAMED UP WITH CONAGRA TO TEST A LINE OF WRAPPED SANDWICHES MADE WITH HEALTHY CHOICE DELI MEATS. THE LINE, WHICH HAS FOUR VARIETIES, PUTS MCDONALD’S IN THE TRENDY WRAP SANDWICH CATEGORY AND COULD PROVIDE A MUCH NEEDED FOOD ITEM THAT IS LOW IN FAT, PORTABLE, AND CONVENIENT. THE SANDWICH IS TARGETED TO ADULT CONSUMERS, LONG A DEMOGRAPHIC SORE SPOT WITH THE RESTAURANT CHAIN. For McDonald’s, the Healthy Choice brand will provide a good-for-you image that is lacking in many of the restaurant’s food items. McDonald’s USA president Alan Feldman has noted that he is interested in borrowing brand equity from other brands as well. A source close to the company said, “I think you’re going to see a lot more of this cobranding at McDonald’s.” The McDeli test is part of McDonald’s attempt to upgrade its overall food quality and to develop new products that will attract consumer groups other than kids. Its last adult-targeted Deluxe sandwich line proved to be an expensive disappointment. The Arch Deluxe burger has been dropped from many stores, and the Fish Deluxe is being redesigned. The McDeli Wraps, developed by a franchisee in Michigan, have an average six to twelve grams of fat. The four varieties—Grilled Chicken Caesar, Turkey & Swiss, Turkey Club, and a no-meat Veggie Wrap—are intended to be a healthier product that mothers can have while the kids eat Happy Meals and that’s easy to eat while driving. The wraps have been selling briskly in test markets...

...Product In my previous task I developed a new wrap for the sandwich bar and it was targeted at a variety of customers, varying from young children to elderly, whoever’s taste buds are up for it. The ingredients in the wraps are of high quality and I made sure all the contents of the wrap are fresh, in order to keep the customers satisfied, furthermore the wraps will increase the businesses sales and profit as 80% of the customers surveyed, said they prefer wraps. Price The health food deli is going to be located on campus at the local university, therefore this suggests the target audience for it are going to be mainly teenagers, however as a result of teenagers not all having enough disposable income on food, the aim is to keep the prices as low as possible, however still able to make a profit. They will be sold into the market at a low initial price in order for them to generate sales before the price is increased, due to the penetrating market, the wraps will be sold at £1.75, this is a convenient price for customers, as it is low and competitive price. The price may be raised over time depending on the popularity of the wraps and the total revenue made from them. Place Where the health food deli will be located is important. The target audience are teenagers therefore it should be located in an area where the students on campus can easily access, and regularly attend, for example the entrance of the campus.

...foot connecting to the opposite side of the ankle; these are known as horseshoes. Once the three horseshoes are done another strip of tape is wrapped around the top to secure it. Next are the figure eights were one long piece is placed on the middle section of the ankle and I wrapped around the arch of the foot and ends at the starting place. The next step is the heel lock which is the most difficult step to me. Like the horseshoe the tape is placed a little bit lower than the mid-section of the ankle and wrapped around the arch of the foot and brought around the back of the heel and pulled upwards. After ripping the tape this step is repeated three more times each strip interchanging sides. To finish the ankle any open spaces showing pre-wrap are covered by small strips of tape on each separate opening; on both sides of the ankles there should be two triangle outlines which insures the ankle was taped...

...Although winter doesn't officially start for a while yet, it won't be too long before the ground freezes. By this time, your trees should be prepped for the winter. Although it's clear how winter can harm animal life, it's less clear to many people whether winter can harm trees. However, even without the destructive effects of ice storms, winter can harm trees in a number of ways. These tips will prevent this: Apply a Mulch Layer Freezing water expands. This property of water can damage tree roots when the temperature undergoes multiple freezing and thawing cycles. A layer of mulch acts as insulation that stabilizes the temperature of the roots and prevents freeze/thaw damage. It also retains moisture in the ground near the tree. You can...
