Ownership Forms of Health Care Organizations


You are an external consultant with ten years experience in your field. Fifty doctors are trying to get together to form a healthcare organization, and they come to you for suggestions on developing the ownership form for the organization. It is your job to advise them on what common ownership forms are available for the organization and provide an example of each. Additionally, you must discuss:
a. What are the advantages and disadvantages of each ownership form?
b. What ownership form would you recommend as being most appropriate for this particular organization? Why?

Argumentative essay for Professional and ethical issues in forensic psychology

The course paper is essentially an argumentative essay.The ethical dilemma of playing both a therapeutic and a forensic role has been debated in the literature for many years. Some authorities argue there is always a conflict of interest in such dual relationships, while other authorities argue the two roles can be reconciled and impartiality can be maintained. Locate at least 10 articles that discuss the therapeutic and the forensic roles, and take a stance on this particular debate. Make sure your collection of articles is balanced with regard to the roles and the viewpoints. Utilize the ethical decision-making process to create an argumentative paper supporting your stand. In other words, in a reasoned fashion, develop an argument for whether or not the two roles—therapeutic and forensic—can ethically coincide..Using multiple sources, defend your thesis of how/why therapeutic and forensic roles can or cannot be reconciled.
Ensure you argue for a particular side of the issue (no arguing both sides) and that your argument is well-supported by the scholarly literature, professional ethical guidelines, and/or the law.
Include solid reasoning and a compelling thesis.
Remember, a strong argument always supports its ideas and proves the other side wrong. Make sure to both support your views with credible arguments and sources, and to also refute the other side.

Case Macro-Economic Indicators: GDP, CPI, Unemployment


Module 2 – Case
Macro-Economic Indicators: GDP, CPI, Unemployment, Interest Rates
There are probably a thousand macro economic indicators, some measure the overall national economy, some are more limited in scope. The three most often quoted and publicized are the Gross Domestic Production Index (GDP), the Consumer Price Inflation Index (CPI) and the Unemployment Index. Below I will give you the link(s) for each one of the indicators followed by two or more questions you are to answer. The links show you the respective formulas and examples of the way the indicator is calculated. In all there will be three indicators with five total links.CLICK HERE TO ORDER THIS ESSAY!!!!

Module 3 – Case
Fiscal Policy: Government Expenditures and Revenues, Budget, National Debt
Macro-economic choices, particularly in the areas of fiscal policy, are not just about economics but about political philosophies, values and goals. This Case asks you to think about some of these dimensions.
The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) prepares reports for congress. It is a non-partisan office.
For this Case, please read "The Budget Outlook" section of the CBO’s The Budget and Economic Outlook: Fiscal Years 2009 to 2019 normal;"
http://www.cbo.gov/ftpdocs/99xx/doc9957/01-07-Outlook. pdf

For the first two questions use the 2011 figures in the budget tables
1. What are the three major categories of revenues for the federal government? Please comment on each and indicate their relative importance to each other. Relative importance can be indicated by dollar amounts, percent of total revenue or expenditure or, though less informative, by ranking.
2. What are the three major categories of expenditures for the federal government? Please comment on each and indicate their relative importance to each other. Relative importance can be indicated by dollar amounts, percent of total revenue or expenditure, or, though less informative, by ranking.
3. Assume you are the Chief Economic Advisor to the President of the United States and the President has asked you to review the deficit reduction proposals that were submitted by his commission (see link above). Choose the two commission recommendations you agree with the most, and the two you disagree with the most, and write an explanation to the President explaining your 4 choices. Please be detailed rather than general in your recommendation.CLICK HERE TO ORDER THIS ESSAY!!!!
4. All major economic indicators show the United States is recovering from the recession but that the process is not as strong as previous recoveries have been. If you were the President what would you do right now to help the economy recover so that the unemployment rate decreases faster than it has over the past two years? I would like specific suggestions or at least well defined generalities.
5. Below is a link to the concepts of aggregate demand (AD) and aggregate supply (AD). Use this information to answer parts A thru D on AD and AS (additional links to this area are in the bibliography section of the syllabus):CLICK HERE TO ORDER THIS ESSAY!!!!
