Unit 1 Assignment Finding Balance
Instructions
Introduce yourself to your classmates and to me. Write
using first person, such as—Hello class, my name is ME, and I want to tell you
a little bit about myself and why I am interested in healthcare administration…
Within the context of your introduction, share your
perspective on the importance of “finding balance” between the roles of
healthcare delivery providers, such as nurses and assorted clinicians in a
hospital environment next to the business/financial component that drives
variables such as costs, length of stay, discharge protocols, admit/surgical
denials, and any others. Further consider that there is (or should be) a
synergy among/between patient care providers and bean counters, yet it requires
money to keep the beds open and salaries paid—just as it takes the care
provided by trained professionals on the units. How effective is writing
“policy” on matters such as these?
This first assignment should be at least two pages in
length, double spaced, 12 point font, and the title page is not part of the
page count. If you cite, be sure to include your sources within the essay, and
at the end in a separate Reference List. However, because this assignment is
more of an opportunity to opine, sources are not mandatory. Proofread your work
for organization, spelling, grammar, flow, style and mechanics. Double check
the rubric to ensure that you have included all of the required criteria.

following areas of the selected health issue:
What is the current legislative or regulatory issue, and
why is it being debated?
Who is most affected by the legislation?
What are the current socioeconomic, political, cultural,
and ethical issues surrounding this topic?
Who are the stakeholders?

Unit 4 Assignment Memo
Instructions
You are the Chief Operating Officer of a large healthcare
system, composed of acute, long-term care, and community-based organizations in
addition to long-term care managed care plans.
Given your current studies in health policy and
management, the Chief Executive Officer of this large healthcare system has
requested that you prepare a high-level briefing for the system’s Board of
Directors in which you describe:
(a) factors that have contributed to dramatic growth in
health care spending over the past 50 years; and
(b) how health care payment and delivery models are
transforming to promote greater accountability for cost and quality in the
health care system.
Please conclude your memo with your analysis of the most
promising approaches for constraining cost growth while maintaining or
improving quality, as well as the limitations or open questions that accompany
new reimbursement and delivery models that are intended to promote “accountable
care.”
The memo must be four pages in length. Please include
references to course readings as well as any relevant outside sources that
support your analysis. Citations and a references page (not included in page
length) are required.
**You must use a recognizable memorandum format for this
exercise—and it is recommended that subject areas be segmented using sub
headers. Include your institution’s logo on the first page of the memo (fictitious).
Be creative.

Unit 6 Assignment Research Presentation
Instructions
In at least a three to four-student team (some teams may
vary in the number of student partners due to class size), please prepare 20
slides on the topics that follow.
*Imagine that you and your coworkers/colleagues are
delivering a presentation at the Annual Conference of Healthcare Executives in
Orlando, Florida.
Prepare a 20-slide PowerPoint presentation with
presenter’s notes in which you focus on a single dimension of performance of
the US health care delivery system. Please examine how performance on this
dimension is influenced by the organization and financing of health care in the
United States and behavior of key health system stakeholders, what must be
improved or reformed to achieve performance gains in your selected area, and
the implications of your analysis for health policy and management. You may
focus on performance in a broadly-defined area (such as quality of care, cost
or access to care, balancing internal/external costs, dealing with regulatory
agencies,) or you may define your focus more narrowly within one of these
categories (e.g., quality of care for chronically-ill elderly patients,
cost-effectiveness of new medical technologies, access to specialized care for
low-income populations). In your analysis, please consider all stakeholders
relevant to your specified focus—providers, payers and purchasers, patients,
communities, policy-makers, and other groups that play a role in performance in
your focal area—and be sure to examine performance and implications for reform
at both the policy and delivery system levels.
The presentation must be 20 slides in length. Please
include references to course readings as well as any relevant outside sources
that support your analysis. Citations and a references page (not included in
slide length) are required.
Each team member must submit your team’s collective
presentation individually—although your team will receive the same score based
on the quality and creativity of the collective demonstration. Remember to work
as a team—and communicate with each other throughout the term. You will be
placed into teams during Unit 2—and I strongly urge you to begin working on
this project right away—meaning, don’t wait until the last minute to begin.
**Be sure to include “presenter’s notes” at the base of
each slide. Further, work together so that every one on your team “keeps
the balance” (remember assignment one/unit one)—so, you may want to appoint a
“team leader” early in the process. Every duty is important, so it’s up to you
to phone/text each other, e-mail each other, share research, slide templates,
anything/everything needed to make this demonstration a cohesive, collective
endeavor—and because this project carries significant point value in this
course, it must be your absolute best work. Remember that your presentation
shouldn’t look like a writing assignment—it’s PowerPoint—a visual program, so
use its features, but keep it professional at the same time. Further, use
charts, graphs, tables to convey your information/data as well. Again, I must
be able to read your speakers notes at the bottom of each slide; however,
slides should not be too wordy—and if they are, they are virtually unreadable
if sitting in an audience. Use bullet points and imagery to convey your info in
conjunction with the speakers notes that explain (to me) what you are
presenting. Have fun with this one, too!
**Find the balance–meaning, your presentation must
represent both the clinical and administrative perspectives on these issues.**
Use the Unit 6 required resources to help you with this
assignment.
Evaluation Criteria
100 points – Quality and depth of research
100 points – Appearance and professional construct of
slides
50 points – Completeness of presenter’s notes
50 points – Cohesiveness of presentation and the presence
of team work

Unit 7 Assignment Capstone Demonstration on Policies and Regulations
Instructions
In this unit you have an opportunity to demonstrate your
knowledge and insight of health policy at a “capstone level.” Please visit one
of the health care management or nursing feedback websites, and read one or
more current or past regulations or policies—and with your enlightened
understanding on how important it is that regulations and policies be kept
“current” in the context of our rapidly changing society and health care
system, post a feedback remark onto a site of your choice (examples below); and
to earn points for this assignment, save and upload comment(s) you posted. Make
sure that your comment(s) are substantive and articulately expressed.
Consequently, post no fewer than 250 words and no more than 500 words of
verbiage to the site. Copy/paste your remarks onto a Word document and submit
them to the Unit 7 Assignment. Be sure to include a title page and a reference
list—if references were used to support your post.
You can use any of the websites listed below or a
different website.
Enjoy the fact that you’ve added viable input to entities
where positive “change” can be considered and quite possibly implemented.
