HA425-5: Analyze the impact of policy making on health care reform efforts. 

Medicaid was signed into law in 1965 and is largely controlled by state legislatures. The federal government manages the program, however, different states have different eligibility requirements based on state-level policy making. In this Assignment, you will review states that did and did not expand Medicaid during the most recent healthcare reform effort and argue for or against expansion. 

Choose two states; one state that has expanded Medicaid and one that has not.

• For the state that expanded Medicaid, discuss at least three ways the quality of healthcare has improved (ex,- increased EHR interoperability,-decreased morbidity, increased immunizations, etc.)
• For the state that did not expand Medicaid, discuss at least three reasons why they chose not to (political rationale, big-government distrust, etc)
• Based on what you have learned, argue for or against Medicaid expansion by discussing at least three reasons that support your stance.

 

Minimum Submission Requirements 

• Proper notification of any resubmission, repurposing, or reworking of prior work per the Purdue Global Student Coursework Resubmission, Repurposing, and Reworking Policy Resource.
• Your submission is composed in a Microsoft Word document.

Plagiarism 

Plagiarism is an act of academic dishonesty. It violates the University’s Code of Student Conduct, and the offense is subject to disciplinary action. You are expected to be the sole author of your work. Use of another person’s work or ideas must be accompanied by specific citations and references. Whether the action is intentional or not, it still constitutes plagiarism. 

 Term Paper 

For your term paper, you’ll concentrate on three new cases found in the Term Paper module. Read each case carefully.

First present an analysis of the cases that demonstrates what you take to be the core issue that they all have in common. In order to do this you may summarize each case very briefly, but summary is not the primary goal. Your primary goal should be to argue that there is a common issue that is at the heart of all three cases. (Note there may share more than one ethics concern. You should only analyze and discuss one.)

Second, using the ideas found in the textbook make the case for a general ethical principle that applies to the cases (i.e. one that responds to the central dilemma presented earlier). A principle is an action guiding rule that helps you solve problems (i.e. do not eat a whole pie right before going to bed). An ethical principle is therefore an action guiding rule that helps you solve moral problems. 

Third, demonstrate how the principle can be applied to resolve the problems in each case.

Be sure to consider counter-arguments and any additional, relevant ideas in the essay.

The term paper should be 1600 words.

NOTE: I’ve asked for a core issue that they have in common. This does not mean that the resolutions all fall on the same side of the issue. For example, MLB, the NBA and the NFL all have the core issue of labor union membership (if you were a player would you join the union?), but the unions in MLB and the NBA are strong, while the NFL’s is weak, and the MLB and NFL unions have an antagonistic relationship with their team owners while the NBA union has a cooperative relationship with NBA owners. So, if you argued, as a general principle, that a person should join a union only if it’s strong and has a good relationship with the owners, then that principle would lead to the conclusion that you should join the NBA union, but not the MLB and NFL unions. Similarly, in the above cases the common ethical principle that you think applies to all of the cases might lead to different solutions in each case (e.g. in one case the principle leads to you argue for firing someone and in another you argue against firing anyone) .

Instructions

For this assignment, imagine you  are an expatriate manager for a subsidiary of a major company  headquartered in the United States. You are preparing a PowerPoint  presentation to brief the CEO on your plan to address the safety issues  specific to the country (of your choice) where you are working as the  expatriate manager.   In your introduction, discuss four  concerns in the workplace: benefits, safety, health, and global  security issues. List one issue for each concern listed.   Next, prepare a solution for each  of the four concerns. Discuss how your solutions address the issues  within the workplace. Discuss what would be the responsibility of the  global leadership team.  Conclude your presentation with a  summary of how you noted the needs of your global audience, how you will  design and deliver the training for employees keeping in mind Geert  Hofstede’s research about cultural differences, and your plans to assess  its success.  Be sure to include clear and  specific speaker notes for each slide. You must include a minimum of one  image or graphic within your presentation. You must use at least two  sources, with one being the textbook.  Your PowerPoint presentation must  be at least seven slides in length, not counting title or reference  slides. Adhere to APA style when constructing this assignment, including  in-text citations and references for all sources that are used.  

The scope of practice describes the procedures, actions, and processes that a health care practitioner is permitted to undertake in keeping with the terms of their professional license.

Recommended readings:

1. Scope of practice of nurse practitioners: professional role.https://www.aanp.org/advocacy/advocacy-resource/position-statements/scope-of-practice-for-nurse-practitioners

2. State practice environment (AANP).https://www.aanp.org/advocacy/state/state-practice-environment

3. I want to take an opportunity to discuss our new granted privilege to prescribe controlled substance. There are five classes of substance considered under the Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act of 1970 (Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act of 1970, 2019).This privilege was legally approved in Florida, the last state to grant such a privilege for midlevel practitioners, in 2017( Kellangs & Maye, 2017). Once licensed as Florida Nurse Practitioner (NP) license, you will need 2 hours of controlled substance prescription CEUs and to apply for the DEA license. The application cost $ 731 and it’s valid for three years. NPs are required to have a controlled substance agreement with the supervising physician.

REVIEW THE TOPICS ABOVE, THEN SELECT A TOPIC FROM THOSE, AND DISSCUSS IT ON YOUR INITIAL POST.
