that you complete them before the deadline.

3. If you get sick for a prolonged period of time, or if you encounter a verifiable and
genuine emergency, which might preclude you from taking the quizzes prior to the
deadline, you must let me know as soon as possible. If you have a medically veri fiable
reason, I may extend the deadline for you without penalty. Please DO NOT wait after
the deadline to inform me of reasons why you couldn’t take the quiz as the deadline will
not be extended.

Research Paper
As a health economist you will, in your future career, be required to write a paper as a form of
communication with the management of the agency or company you may work for. As such,
you will need to learn how to write and present your projects, proposals, technical solutions, or
anything else you may wish to communicate. In order to learn professional communication
skills, an art that you will be using in the real world, you are required to submit what we will
refer to as a “Research Paper”. In essence, it is a paper you will have to write with the
specifications shown below. However, the nature of what you write could be a presentation of
your scientific research, a proposal for a well-defined project that you manage, a presentation of
a project you were asked to complete, or a technical solution to your agency to improve the
functioning and efficiency of the agency and offering services that the clients/customers of your
organization demand. The topics could relate to any of the Learning Outcomes above. If you
wish to choose a different relevant topic, please contact me to discuss.
Your “Research Paper” paper should be 5 to 10 pages (regular 8.5xll page, double-spaced, font
12 Times Roman), which you will submit before Monday, November 28, 2016 at 10:00 PM.
You are urged to start working on this project alter the second or thirds week of instruction. This
will give you sufficient time to have a clear idea of the nature of Health Economics about which
you will choose to write your “Research Paper”. For example, you may choose to write about
health policy (the role of government in providing health care, your analysis of Affordable Care
Act ACA, regulation of heath care, etc.). You could also write about the operation of a hospital,
a dental office, a clinic. or a health organization of your choice. Here you would examine the
demand and supply of health care, how it is provisioned, whether or not it is efficient, any
creative ideas you may have to improve the provision of health care, etc. Alternatively, you can
analyze a particular health care social issue and analyze how our current health care system is
responding to it. We will discuss a number of such cases through our discussion forum. You are
welcome to choose one partner and write a joint paper as long as the contribution by each author
is clearly demonstrated. This practice allows you to learn collaborative analysis which is
commonplace in the real world.
Please feel free to submit the topic of your choice and a basic outline of your Research Paper
midway through the quarter, if you wish to receive any guidance on how to move forward.
Midterm and Final Exams
There will be a midterm and a final exam. These exams will consist of multiple choice questions
from the chapters we cover. You will need a scantron to take these exams (please see
Blackboard for the specific form of scantron). The exams will be held in class and it will be a
completely closed-book, closed-noted exam. You may use a simple calculator. No electronic
devices (including cell phones, electronic dictionary, etc.) will be allowed in the class during
these exams. You mav be required to bring a picture [D to the class at the time of the

What Is Comp-XM?

What Is Comp-XM?
Comp-XM is familiar, yet different from your experience in Capstone or Foundation. You are the CEO. You

will be making decisions on your own; you will not be a member of a team. Like Capstone, Comp-XM uses a spreadsheet and a web interface.
There are two parts to Comp-XM: A four-round simulation and a series of web-based quizzes called Board Queries. Board Queries are questions posed by your Board of Directors. They are drawn from the unique results of your simulation. You could appear before the Board up to five times to answer their questions about your company. “Website Instructions” (below) discusses the mechanics.
Login to the website with the User ID and Password from your previous simulation. Select Comp-XM.

In the Getting Started area, view the brief introductory video in the Welcome section. Be sure to review the Sample Board Query in the About Board Queries section. Go through the remaining sections.
The Comp-XM Spreadsheet
In the Getting Set Up section, download the Comp-XM Spreadsheet to your computer (a web version of the spreadsheet is available from the Dashboard, see below).
You will open the Comp-XM Spreadsheet as you did the Capstone or Foundation Spreadsheet;
Enter the same User ID and Password you used to login to the website;
The Comp-XM Spreadsheet requires an Internet connection–it retrieves your work from the website when it opens and sends your work to the website when you save decisions.

Fiduciary Duties

Fiduciary Duties

Jimmy is the CEO of News Corp. His son, Johnny, runs Television Inc. One day Jimmy suggests that Johnny sell Television Inc. to News Corp. Jimmy and Johnny work together to radically inflate the value of Television Inc. Jimmy brings a proposal to the Board of Directors to buy Television Inc. for $500 million dollars even though the corporation is only worth $2 million. The board of directors diligently examines the transaction, but due to clever forgeries, the board does not discover the radical inflation of the corporation. Jimmy never discloses his relationship with Johnny. The sale goes through, and it is shortly discovered that Television Inc., is practically worthless.

A shareholder sues alleging that Jimmy violated his fiduciary duty of loyalty.
Additionally, the shareholder claims that the directors violated their fiduciary duties of care.
Is the shareholder correct?

Health Care Management

Health Care Management (Ambulatory Care Admin)

Over the past two years, a busy family practice has recruited three new physicians who have an excellent reputation in the community, the practice continues to grow, and the volume of telephone calls has increased. Patients have started complaining about the constant busy signals they receive and the number of times they are placed on hold. Frustration continues to increase for the patients,staff, and physicians. The telephone system was upgraded five years ago. Features of the present system that the staff uses include calls on hold, call transfer, and intercom paging. The front desk has three telephones for five staff members. the nursing staff must use the telephone in the laboratory. Business office personnel feel they could use another telephone, and the physicians are worried about the increasing level of patient complaints.

Case Discussion Questions:

1. What steps should be taken to identify specific problems in this practice’s telephone system?

2. What recommendations should be made for a more effective and efficient system?

11. Anne lived with her biological mother until age three.  She was removed from her mother’s care after it was learned that she was not fed regularly and was usually kept alone, locked in a closet for hours every day.  After being removed from her mother, Anne was placed in five foster homes over the next two years.  The foster parents complained that she did not seem to bond with them, but resisted comforting and avoided contact.  They noticed that she seemed very guarded and stiffened when held.  Anne never cried when separated from her foster parents and did not play with other children either.  Instead, Anne spent most of her day isolated, but carefully watching the people around her.
12. Cathy   is a 34 year old bank executive who is brought for evaluation by her husband. According to her husband, Carol was in excellent health until 2 weeks ago, when she began staying up later and later at night. Her husband  was initially not too concerned, until she began awakening him to talk about the revolutionary new ideas she had about creating an international bank cartel. He notes she was full of energy and talked rapidly about the many ideas she had to be president of this new company. He became quite concerned when Carol at 3 AM telephoned European banks to discuss her ideas. When her husband confronted her about the inappropriateness of her phone calls, she became enraged and accused him of purposefully attempting to sabotage her venture. She was brought to the emergency room by her husband and two friends. Carol was not found to be under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
On examination, she talks about her ideas to revolutionize the banking industry and control the world currency. When her ideas are questioned she becomes irritable and threatens to leave. She is on no medication and has no history of psychiatric problems. She has no history of drug or alcohol abuse. She has significant conflicts with her parents. Her physical exam is normal and a toxic screen for drugs is negative.

13. Tom  is a 28 year old government employee referred by his family physician for an evaluation. He reports a 3-month history of worsening anxiety that is especially bad early in the morning. “ I wake up at 3 in the morning and I can’t get back to sleep. My thoughts torment me.” He also reports decreased energy, inability to concentrate at his job, decreased appetite with a 10 pound weight loss, and suicidal ideation.  “I feel so hopeless that suicide seems like an option.”  He also states, “There is nothing in my life that I enjoy.”
Tom is tearful during the evaluation. He lacks animation and has few body movements during the session. His mood is quite depressed. He reports two previous depressive periods. He has been having problems in his marriage and at work. He has no known health problems.

14. Perry is a 43 year old male.  He came to be evaluated because he has been feeling somewhat depressed for over three years.  He prefers to sleep 12 to 14 hours a day and constantly feels hopeless. His appetite and cognitive functioning are normal and he denies suicidal ideation.  He finally admitted these symptoms to his physician after losing his job due to missing too many days at work.
15. Nathan is a 16 year old male.  He was brought to counseling by his mother. She stated that Nathan gets extremely angry at the slightest provocation.  When he is angry, he hits walls and destroys his possessions and furniture in the house.  He has also gotten into many fights with other youths and recently hit a teacher who had simply asked him for his homework.  Other than this quick temper, Nathan has had no other behavior or learning problems.  She noted that Nathan began having trouble controlling his anger after his father died and the family moved to a new town about a year ago.  Several of the students at his new school had started to tease Nathan the first day he attended class.  The mother reported that Nathan has not developed any friends and continues to be teased.  She said that it seems to take less and less to cause him to “blow up” as time goes on.  Nathan has been suspended several times for fighting at school and was informed after hitting the teacher that he would be expelled unless he started attending counseling.   Nathan has no history of drug use and no known medic
