  • Managed care hospital reimbursement
  • Managed care provider reimbursement

Using South University Online library (e.g. CINAHL) or the Internet, review at least two articles for each topic and write a review for each source of information. Use the following guidelines for developing your essay:

  • Write a summary for each topic tying together the information learned about that topic.
  • Analyze the market forces that would favor using one reimbursement method over another.
  • Evaluate the key differences between different types of payment methodologies from the provider and hospital point of view.
  • Evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of the payment methodologies reviewed from the provider and hospital point of view.
  • Evaluate new payment methodologies resulting from the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) and discuss future changes in reimbursement methodologies.
  • Compare and contrast each article to the information discussed in the course textbook.

Based on your understanding, create a 3- to 4-page Microsoft Word document that includes the answers to the questions for the above topics.

Support your responses with examples.

Cite any sources in APA format.

What are the risks and benefits of transgenic organisms in agriculture and in medicine?

/in /by

What are the risks and benefits of transgenic organisms in agriculture and in medicine? Imagine that you are a biologist working for the Canadian government. You have been asked by your manager to prepare a short scientific summary describing the risks and benefits of transgenic organisms in ONE of two areas: agriculture or medicine. Please write a 500-700 word scientific assessment report, summarizing at least two risks and two benefits of transgenic organisms to Canadians in EITHER agriculture or medical applications. Use the style of scientific assessment report. In your report, sate whether you are for or against recommending the use of transgenic organisms in Canada based on the evidence you provide. Make sure that you include at least 3 references in your report, using proper citation format.

On what basis is electrophoresis able to separate molecules?

Virtual Lab 4: Genetics II A. 1. On what basis is electrophoresis able to separate molecules? 2. What are the lengths of the three DNA bands that you produce in this lab? B. Electrophoresis. 1. Select the pBR322 plasmid (a circular piece of DNA used as a cloning vector) to analyze (menu in upper left hand corner of the simulator). You will then see a diagram of the circular plasmid DNA along with the points along the length of the plasmid where the various restriction enzymes (EcoR I, Ple I, Hinc II, and Bgl I) will cut the DNA. For instance notice that the enzyme EcoR 1 only cuts the plasmid at one location at the top of the diagram, whereas the other enzymes cut the plasmid at other places. To analyzes the DNA we cut it up with different enzymes and slowly piece together an understanding of the entire sequence. 2. Load each lane as follows: lane 1 with Bgl 1; lane 2 with EcoR 1; lane 3 with Hinc II; lane 4 with Ple I; lane 5 with predetermined molecular weight markers. 3. Run the gel and describe and explain the number of bands in lanes 2 and 4. C. Human Blood Types and Immune System Complete the following Table Blood Type Antibodies present (A, B, Rh) Can receive blood from type(s) Can donate blood to type(s) O + O – A + A – B + B – AB + AB –

Phenotype and Genotype of Dragons.

Virtual Lab 3: Genetics I A Phenotype and Genotype of Dragons. You do not have to be able to access the Dragon website to answer these questions. Please type your solutions in bold faced font. 1. Define genotype and phenotype. 2. What is an allele? B. Drosophila Lab. Enter the lab as a guest. You need to purchase a breeding pair of flies. Purchase a female mutant that has a small (vestigial) wing size and a male wild type fly. Wild types are genetically normal and are denoted with a +. Breed them and notice the resulting distribution of phenotypes. 1.Describe and explain the characteristic of the first generation (F1) of flies. Is the vestigial wing characteristic dominant or recessive? 2. Assume that the vestigial winged female’s genotype is vv and the wild type male’s genotype to be ++ and fill in the following Punnet square. 3. What percentage of the F1 generation would show the recessive characteristic phenotypically according to your table? Are your experimental breeding results consistent with what you expect from this assumption and the logic of the Punnet square? 4. Breed two of these F1 flies. To do this select a male and a female from the results of your first cross and put them in the breeding jar. Describe and explain the characteristics of the second generation (F2) flies. 5. Use a Punnet square to predict the ratios of a cross between two +v individuals. Is this consistent with your experimental observations? C. Genetic Disorders Library. Describe the three main classes of genetic disorders and give an example of each.
