Read the scenario that you will use for the Individual Projects in each week of the course. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has taken on a more visible role in health care delivery. Many changes have transpired to improve patient safety along with the implementation of additional quality metrics, and these changes impact reimbursement rates. Likewise, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act has changed the reimbursement fee structure of Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement for health care services. Other legislation including the HITECH Act and the Medicare Authorization and CHIP Reactivation Act of 2015 (MACRA) all impact how healthcare organizations receive reimbursement and demonstrate use of data to improve quality and delivery of patient care. Mr. Magone, CEO of Healing Hands Hospital, has asked you to join the Future of Healing Hands Task Force, and your first assignment is to work with the Hospital Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Johnson, and provide a summary of the current regulations regarding Medicare reimbursement including how MACRA will impact reimbursement if/when Healing Hands coordinates delivery of services by affiliating with physician practices. For this assignment, write a 2-page report, not including the title page and reference page, on how the new CMS initiatives and regulations will impact the organization’s revenue structure. This is Section 1 of your report to the Task Force. This first section should be titled Impact of CMS Regulations and Reimbursement Models. How does CMS impact the reimbursement model for Healing Hands Hospital and other health care organizations? If CMS reimbursement regulations for Medicare and Medicaid change, does it follow that other insurance providers change their policies on reimbursement? The CMS website on Innovation Models provides examples of healthcare payment and service delivery models designed to increase quality of care while reducing costs. Choose one example of ongoing or planned models for Accountable Care Organizations or Episode-Based Payment Initiatives and explain how participation in the models would be beneficial to Healing Hands Hospital.

Investigating the Role of Saudi Families in Implementing Disabled Treatment Rights under Islamic Law and the Saudi Legal System
Overview: Muscat Municipality has recently implemented a policy of privatization for a number of service sectors, including some public health services: Waste management, collection and transfer. Management and operation of slaughterhouses. Management and operation of the fish market. Control of insects and rodents. Where privatization is a utilitarian tool based on a new system of division of labor between government and the private sector. It includes the mandate of the private sector to manage and provide basic government services to the community according to a supervisory plan from the government sector. The objectives of privatization are to: – Raise the level of economic efficiency of the management of funds within the state. – Reducing the burden on the state budget, with regard to state subsidies to public companies and compensating their losses. – Expanding the ownership base of individuals, obtaining an increase in production, export and improving quality. – Availability of proceeds from the sale of public units, which can face the budget deficit. – Overcoming inefficient control and accounting systems in public units. This study will focus on evaluating the experience of privatization in all aspects. Has the municipality succeeded in making this decision? What are the dimensions of this decision on the quality of services? Has the municipality achieved financial savings? And also to monitor the pros and cons and make recommendations to the specialists on the mechanism to develop the pros and avoid the negatives in the future plan of the privatization program and the mechanism towards the comprehensiveness of this program to other sectors of the municipality. Objectives of the study: – Measuring the success of the privatization program. – Comparison of level and indicators of services provided before and after privatization. – Limiting the concrete advantages of privatizing the sectors concerned. – Setting up a mechanism on the direction of total privatization or only partial privatization of these sectors. – Comparison of the cost of privatization with the previous cost of these sectors and measuring the percentage of cost reduction and the provision of amounts from the general budget of the municipality. – Recommending the future plan for the privatization of other sectors such as afforestation and transport. Information gathering mechanism: – Specialists in Muscat Municipality. – Sample of the public (questionnaire on public satisfaction with services provided after privatization). – Evaluation of the performance of companies by the competent staff of Muscat Municipality and workers in the privatized sectors.

ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS-1 page- at least one paragraph with source or link #1. Decision Making Bias Videos Most of the sources in the background materials are library textbook chapters or journal articles. In general, these sources are considered much more credible than various random webpages that you will find online. When finding an online source, you need to carefully consider the credibility of the source. Factors to consider include the credentials of the person who wrote the materials, whether this person is trying to sell you something, and of course you also need to use your own intuition as to whether or not a source seems credible. Your task for this assignment is to go to YouTube or videos.google.com and find a video that explains cognitive/heuristic biases covered in the background materials such as confirmation bias, overconfidence bias, etc. Use word searches such as decision-making biases, heuristic biases, overconfidence, anchoring, framing, confirmation bias, and similar searches. You should find many videos, but the difficult part will be to try to find a video that is A) relevant to the topics covered in the module, B) from a credible source, and C) easy to understand and follow. To find a video from a very credible source, look at a video from Nobel Prize winner and heuristic bias expert Daniel Kahneman. Credible yes, but I cant guarantee you will stay awake during the video. So see if you can also find a video from a source that appears credible but and has information consistent with the background material readings but also keeps you awake and helps you understand the different types of decision-making biases. Share the link and explain why you think the video is both useful and credible, and which biases from the background materials the video helps explain. BACKGROUND FOR QUESTION 1 Lombardo, J. (2014).

Some of them are very professional; others seem somewhat amateurish or are designed for or by high school students. Do a search on YouTube for videos on group decision making or on specific group decision-making techniques discussed in the background materials. Choose a video you found to be very useful at explaining the techniques in the background materials, and another video that you found to be amateurish or not very useful. Post the links. Also, share what you found useful and not useful about each video, and whether or not you recommend others to view the video Background for #2: Braintools (2017).

In essence it is fairly simpleas a leader, the style you choose for making a decision depends on the situation. What makes it more difficult though is that the diagram and other features can be intimidating. Review the background readings on this model. Then find some sources online regarding this modelthey can be either webpages or a videos. Make sure the information presented in this source matches what youve read in the background materials, but also find one that you think helps simplify or explain this model in a clear manner. Share the link to this source and address the following issues: 1. Is the source credible? 2. Does the information in the source regarding the Vroom-Yetton model match what youve read in the background materials? Why do you find this source easier to follow? How did it help you understand this model? Background Rigolosi, E. (2005). Chapter 6: Diagnosing the task. Management and Leadership in Nursing and Health Care : An Experiential Approach.
