What are the advantages and disadvantages of the status quo versus moving to a concierge care model?

Prepare a 3–4 page (1000-1200 words) analysis for Dr. Green that demonstrates your consideration of your practice’s current capabilities with regard to 1) adopting a concierge care business model or 2) expanding the existing practice. (Feel free to look at sample SWOT or Porter’s Five Forces Framework templates for ideas, but do not use a template because some applications may not be able to “read” the template you select.)

 

It is important to note that there are no completely right or wrong answers for this Assignment. In the end, the physicians will make the final decision, but they are looking to you to evaluate the situation from a business perspective, to have asked the right questions and to do the legwork.

 

Your submission will be graded based on your clear demonstration that the following have been considered:

 

  • Competition

 

  • Customers (mix, customer demand)

 

  • Continuity of care

 

  • Value

 

  • Sources of revenue

 

  • Costs (including marketing, technology, payroll, office fit-out)

 

  • Staffing needs (propose specific roles and responsibilities)

 

  • Ethical concerns 
Finally, in a concise summary paragraph or two, present your recommendation to your employers. What are the advantages and disadvantages of the status quo versus moving to a concierge care model? Does a hybrid model make sense? If so, how would you structure it, and why do you think it is the desired option? 
Remember to be clear and detailed in your responses. Your writing should follow the conventions of Standard American English (correct grammar, punctuation, etc.), and it should be logical, original and insightful. Finally, ensure that your paper fully conforms to APA Style and include a cover page and a reference page.
  • Requirements 
The body of the paper should be 3–4 pages (1000-1200 words) in length. A title page and a reference page should also be included but do not apply to the length requirement.

 

  • The paper should be written in an essay format, with transitions between paragraphs that discuss specific topic areas or thoughts. Include an introduction and conclusion.

Determine the absolute shortest length of time in which the telemedicine project can be completed if none of the activities are crashed.

The training period for the nurses can be reduced by one week if Human Resources allows the nurses to work overtime at an additional cost of $1,200. For the criteria development, $3,500 in overtime can be saved if this activity is allowed to take five weeks to complete.

 

” Assignment Questions : 1. Determine the absolute shortest length of time in which the telemedicine project can be completed if none of the activities are crashed.

2. Determine the shortest length of time the project can be finished if activities on the critical path are crashed.

3. Calculate the additional cost resulting from crashing all the activities possible.

4. Explain how you can minimize the additional cost of crashing the project while completing the project in the same amount of time as determined in question 2.

Compared and contrasted Freud’s view of the unconscious with Jung’s view and applied Anna’s example in explanations.

Review the following:

The Case of Anna O.

One of the first cases that inspired Freud in the development of what would eventually become the Psychoanalytic Theory was the case of Anna O. Anna O. was actually a patient of one of Freud’s colleagues Josef Breuer. Using Breuer’s case notes, Freud was able to analyze the key facts of Anna O’s case.

Anna O. first developed her symptoms while she was taking care of her very ill father with whom she was extremely close. Some of her initial symptoms were loss of appetite to the extent of not eating, weakness, anemia, and development a severe nervous cough. Eventually she developed a severe optic headache and lost the ability to move her head, which then progressed into paralysis of both arms. Her symptoms were not solely physical as she would vacillate between a normal, mental state and a manic-type state in which she would become extremely agitated. There was even a notation of a time for which she hallucinated that the ribbons in her hair were snakes.

Toward the end of her father’s life she stopped speaking her native language of German and instead only spoke in English. A little over a year after she began taking care of her father he passed away. After his passing her symptoms grew to affect her vision, a loss of ability to focus her attention, more extreme hallucinations, and a number of suicidal attempts (Hurst, 1982).

Both Freud and Jung would acknowledge that unconscious processes are at work in this woman’s problems. However, they would come to different conclusions about the origin of these problems and the method by which she should be treated.

Research Freud’s and Jung’s theories of personality using your textbook, the Internet, and the Argosy University online library resources. Based on your research, respond to the following:

  • Compare and contrast Freud’s view of the unconscious with Jung’s view and apply this case example in your explanations.
  • On what specific points would they agree and disagree regarding the purpose and manifestation of the unconscious in the case of Anna?
  • How might they each approach the treatment of Anna? What might be those specific interventions? How might Anna experience these interventions considering her history?

Write a 2–3-page paper in Word format. Apply APA standards to citation of sources. Use the following file naming convention: LastnameFirstInitial_M2_A3.doc.

  1. What major events in health care access and delivery since 1950 have significantly changed and enhanced health care policy in the United States?
  2. What role does federal, state and local governments each play in influencing health care policy.
  3. How do we know which law we are to follow if there is a difference between a state and federal law?
  4. Discuss determinants of a health problem. Identify policy intervention to the health problem. Do you think the policy intervention is the most significant concept?
  5. Watchthe video: Health Insurance Changes Coming Your Way Under the Affordable Care Act. http://kff.org/health-reform/video/youtoons-obamacare-video/
  6. Did this website give you any new ‘perspectives’ on health care? What were they? http://kff.org/perspectives/
  7. Do you see health care spending decreasing or increasing in the future? Why?
  8. I don’t think that health will never go down, since the cost of malpractice insurance is so expensive that a doctor has to have a certain income to cover that expense must their cost of living. The truth is that if the cost of health care won’t go down since its one of the biggest business in this country, in fact the cost does go down then what will happen to the economy; i have yet seen something like that in which the health care going down after years of being so expensive that would be the first. The fact that the over head expensive of health care won’t allow the cost to go down….that would be in a perfect world and that’s not the world we live in.
