§ Product or service feasibility.

§ Financial feasibility.

§ Entrepreneurial readiness.

2. Explain whether the business idea needs to be modified, changed significantly, or abandoned based on your feasibility analysis. (Note: If you abandon the business idea, then you will need to select and analyze a new business that has profit potential.)

3. Include at least two references outside the textbook. For help with research, writing, and citation, access the Strayer Library or review the Bachelor of Business Administration Library Guide.

Post a brief explanation of two similarities and two  differences between each pair of concepts (i.e., social change vs.  leadership, social change vs. advocacy, and leadership vs. advocacy).  Provide examples to illustrate your points. Then, explain 2–3  conclusions you drew or insights you had as a result of doing the  comparison.

Three core concepts are relevant to members of human and social services  professions: social change, leadership, and advocacy. Broadly speaking,  social change has to do with righting the wrongs in society; leadership means being a guiding force in fostering social and professional change; and advocacy  refers to sponsoring or promoting such change. Because these concepts  are intrinsic to human services professionals, it is imperative to  explore each of these core concepts more deeply, evaluate their  meanings, and consider how they are alike and different.

To prepare:

Review this week’s Learning Resources. Think about similarities and differences among the concepts of social change, leadership, and advocacy.

Clear and thorough discussion of value-based care models as introduced by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Includes multiple examples or supporting details per topic.  

Scenario

After an evaluation of its current financial status and an assessment of future industry trends, the governing board for Metropolitan Memorial has approved its CEO’s request to expand operations into the rural areas of the state. Many of the rural residents rely upon Medicare and Medicaid for the financing of their healthcare needs. The hospital will offer satellite services including primary care, urgent care, telehealth, and emergent care services. The hospital is embracing the concept of value-based care given the economic make-up of the population within the rural community. Value-based care focuses on advancing the triple aim strategy of providing better care for individuals, improving population health management initiatives, and reducing overall health costs.

INSTRUCTIONS:

The CEO has asked you to create a PowerPoint presentation (using speaker notes for each slide or voiceover narration) outlining the revenue cycle management process. Your presentation should include a discussion on value-based care models as introduced by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), such as ACOs and the Medicare Shared Savings Program. In addition, based on the research you’ve done, you will need to include a recommendation for a possible strategy to strengthen the organization’s financial operations in preparation for the transition to value-based care.

As you do this assignment, consider the historical data visualization developed by Charles Minard describing Napoleon’s army march toward and eventual retreat from Moscow (Found in this week’s presentation).

Use your imagination to develop your own data visualization that displays several dimensions with a single plot.  (For example, color of data points can be used to categorize one dimension, while the size of the data point can represent a dimension related to magnitude.)

The assignment scoring is based on the originality of the display, the number of dimensions displayed, and readability.  The rubric for this assignment can be viewed when clicking on the assignment link.

Pick out a few key policy successes for both Johnson and Reagan. How should we understand these outcomes in relation to our frameworks?

Discussion 5: Shaping Domestic Policy — Lyndon Johnson and Ronald Reagan

Lyndon Johnson and Ronald Reagan had major successes in terms of accomplishing some of their domestic policy goals during their presidencies (Johnson was less ‘successful’ in his foreign policy, while Reagan had  both major successes and setbacks in that context). How should we understand these policy successes? Were they about the skills and agendas of the presidents, or were there other factors we need to consider?

Using details from the Lammers and Genovese reading, please identify at least one major policy accomplishment for either Johnson or Reagan (you are welcome to discuss more) and explore how we might use one or several of the frameworks from our class to think about this outcome.

1. Pick out a few key policy successes for both Johnson and Reagan. How should we understand these outcomes in relation to our frameworks?
