TCO 9) Based upon your understanding of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, passed by Congress in 2010 and upheld by the Supreme Court in 2012, what do you consider the major impacts of this new law on hospitals? As a member of hospital management, how would you prepare your own facility for these impacts? (Points : 30) Solution Last Sunday night Congress passed the Patient Protection and Affordable Health Care Act. This act reforms the existing health care industry and is expected to insure an additional 32 million people. This bill was passed with quite a bit of controversy surrounding it. Polls consistently showed that the majority of Americans were not satisfied with the bill as it was currently written, and several Democrats voted against it along with all Republicans in the House of Representatives. Having said that, the President has signed it into law, and the deal is done. You may be wondering, how do these new health insurance laws affect you? Let .

The Cost & Impact of Massive Complexity in the US Health Insurance Market

Russ Kuhn

VIEWPOINT Public Coods, Public Utilities, and the Public's Health Samuels. Flint T he battle over dismantling health reform dominates today's health policy agenda. Some opposition to the Patient Protec- tion and Affordable Care Act (PL. 111-148)—now typically referred to as the Affordable Care Act (ACA)—comes from those on the political left who see health care as a public good similar to the military, the fire department, and the court system (Physicians for a National Health Program, 2010). Only government can fund and deliver public goods, because the private market cannot be relied on to do so with the equity and efficiency required for critical services needed by everyone. Many on the political right fear "a government takeover" of the health care system that will lead to the loss of the very market-driven, creative solutions that are so desperately needed to reign in the cost escalations that threaten to make health care unaffordable. I see the ACA as a politically shrewd compromise that captures the principal benefits of both camps and creates the least disruptive path to a workable framework that can ultimately lead to universal health insurance coverage at sustainable prices. This middle ground is achieved through the ACA's requirements shifting the health care system from a lightly regulated market commodity to a heavily regulated public utility. Public utilities are privately owned firms that provide necessities in monopoly or near-monopoly situations. Because unfettered monopolies can price gouge, they are required to accept extensive government regulation to ensure that they do not abuse their market power. Some public utilities are complete monopohes (for example, regional electric, water, and gas companies),and others (for example, cable television, telecommunications) have some modest competition. However, all public utilities are profit-driven, privately owned businesses, which distinguishes them from public goods that are funded and operated by the public sector. Public utility regulation has two fundamental characteristics. First, all utilities are legally obligated to serve virtually everyone, despite the known unprofitability of certain customers and customer groups. All customers are allowed to use as much of a utility's services as they like, with occasional ex- ceptions such as temporary limits on lawn watering during droughts. Second, the prices that are charged to consumers are determined by public commissions rather than private corporations. Public utility commissions have essentially unrestricted access to a firm's books.This provides them with far greater insight into a company's financing than is required of publicly held companies, let alone privately owned businesses and other proprietorships. Contrast that environment with how health insurers operated up tiO now. Insurers could select their customers and set their own prices, like any other seller of goods and services in a private market. Insur ...

Ted considers himself a skillful hacker. He has devised a way to replace the existing startup programs between the moment that the system boots yet before the system actually executes these programs. He believes that if he can perfect his attack, he can gain control of the system. What type of attack is described here? A. Synchronous attack B. TOC/TOU attack C. DCOM attack D. Smurf attack Solution The correct answer is B . TOC/TOU attack ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Explanation : This kind of attac is called \"Time of Check/Time of Use (TOCTOU)\" attack. For suppose process X checked that a certain file exists and has certain attributes before opening the file and do some necessary operations on the file. By the time X opens it, the file could have been replaced with another file that was not the same as before that was checked by the process X. If the time gap between TOC and TOU is long can cause TOCTOU type of access to gain access control over the system resoruces and malfunction the system properties. .

Technical testing metrics fall into two major categories. What are they? With Detailed explanation. Solution The two major categoreis are Project Management and Process Imrovement Project Management: In initiating of the project an idea of the project is formulated from the requirement specification of the client and customers In the planning phase a project team is created the required resources are gathered, a project office is setup and the further procedding of the project is started In the next phase the idea of the project is converted into the actual implementation, this basically involves the technical aspects of the project like designing , implementation and testing Next comes the monitoring and control, all the rsisks associaed with the project are analysed and proper solutions are also formulated The last phase of closure of the project is executed when the final acceptance of the project is verified by teh client. Process Improvement It is the proactive task to identify, analyse and improve the existing processes of the business. It help to increase the optimization and to meet the new requirement by the client, different approaches for the improvement are considered. Processes are either modified or complemented with sub-process. It is an outgoing process and should always be followed up with the analysis of tangible areas of improvement. The process maturity curve goes as 1. Ad Hoc 2. Repetable 3. Controlled 4. Managed 5. Optimized Understanding how end-to-end processes work, the inter-relationships between them and how they contribute value to producing products or delivering services is fundamental to process improvement and operational effectiveness. .

Terri Keyâ€™s son Taylor was diagnosed with Touretteâ€™s syndrome, obsessive- compulsive disorder, and ADH disorder. Terri was dissatisfied with Taylorâ€™s experience in public school and enrolled him at St. Michaelâ€™s Catholic School. He was forced to withdraw after a year and a half because of persistent behavior problems and trouble Terri allegedly caused with other parents. She sued the school, alleging that the school represented it would work with Taylor to address his specific educational needs, including that his teacher had 27 yearsâ€™ experience working in the schools and â€œcould handle things.â€ Was this agree- ment specific enough to be enforceable? Explain. Solution The court stated that appellant did not allege facts arising out of a contractual obligation for which appellees would be obligated to appellant or her son; that appellant failed to state incidences of specific conduct so outrageous in nature as to go beyond all possible bounds of decency and to be regarded as intolerable in a civil society; that appellant failed to establish the existence of a fiduciary duty; that she failed to establish a standard of care owed or breached by appellees; and that she failed to state facts demonstrating any intentional failure on the part of any appellee to perform a manifest duty in reckless disregard of the consequence. .

The Access Point bridge needs its own DHCP server since it is on a different subnet. *True *False Solution It is true. The uncertainty arises due to the way that we\'re regularly looking at re-configuring routers as repeaters, and not utilising standalone, dedicated devices. Routers don\'t allow the task of their own local IP address utilising DHCP. To have the router reference itself doesn\'t make much point as the fact it\'s deciding the IP network, gateway IP, DNS server(s), and providing the DHCP server. In other words, the switch isn\'t typically a client to anything on the local system or network. Rather, it takes care of business for others by building up its own local IP address (e.g., 192.168.1.1), and by extension, the system or network that suggests (e.g., 192.168.1.x). So now you choose to transform that router into a repeater. In any case, again, it was never intended to allocate itself a local IP address through DHCP (as I portrayed previously). Furthermore, in the event that you can\'t utilise DHCP to appoint the local IP address, then you absolutely don\'t need the static IP you do you do assign to conflict with any IP address that may be given out by the primary router\'s DHCP server to some other device. .

Sustainability is an important ethical and environmental issue in purchasing. Describe one material, product, or service that can contribute to sustainability in a project you have been involved with, or in your current organization. Describe how these decisions enable the organization to avoid violations in terms of environmental issues Solution Sustainable Business Practices Introduction: The Role of Business Economic structures and policies create the context for throughput, but it is individual business operations that are responsible for the actual throughput activities in the production of goods and services. The specific technologies they use have a significant impact on the amount and types of materials that go through the production cycle of extraction, manufacture, use and waste. In the past, the impact of various technologies on the environment was not a significant issue for business planning and operation. The effects of burning coals were too obvious to ignore in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, but even British royalty could not exert enough authority to reduce the pollution created. Concerns for the environmental impact of business activities arouse in earnest in the latter part of the 20th century with the evidence of chemical pollution, a variety of environmentally significant industrial accidents, opposition of indigenous peoples to logging and mining operations, and the discovery of human impacts on global systems such as the atmospheric ozone layer and climate (see Areas of Concern). The accumulating evidence of serious environmental and human health effects triggered citizen protests, and led governments to begin exerting influence on businesses to clean up their act. Environmental concerns arose for individual nations (eg. with the US establishing the Environmental Protection Agency in 1969) and within the United Nations (eg. UNESCO .

Thank you. Let Phi: R rightarrow S be a surjective homomorphism from the ring R to the ring S. Prove that if T is a subring of R, then the set W= {b S such that b = Phi(c) for some c T} is a subring of S. [Be specific of how and where you use that T is a subring of R.] Solution for this we only have to prove that there exist identity if b is in W then tere is a element -b in W such that b - b = 0 so if phi(c) = b then phi(-c) = -b where c and -c are in T since T is a subring since phi is homeomorphism. now if b and c are in W then there are d and f in T such that phi ( d) =b and phi (f) = c then phi (df) = phi(d) phi(f) = bc in W so W is a ring and since it is subset of S so it is subring of S .

I need help with is - what areas of computing will be most beneficial for me to understand in realtionship to my career and if i work from home how will understanding computer hardware and software help me when communicating in groups and other countries? Solution The Internet also alters our perception of duration. Sometimes, when working on an obstinately analog process such as the actual fabrication of an object, the internalized shadow of fleeting Internet time in our consciousness makes us perceive how the inevitable delays inherent in the fashioning of things (in all their messy \'thingness\') ground us into appreciating the rhythms of the real world. In this way, the Internet\'s pervasive co-presence with real world processes, ends up reminding us of the fact that our experience of duration is now a layered thing. We now have more than one clock, running in more than one direction, at more than one speeds. .

Cloud Computing Theory and Practice chapter 2 problem 7 Tuple-spaces can be thought of as an implementation of a distributed shared- memory. Tuple-spaces have been developed for many programming languages including Java, Lisp, Python, Prolog, Smalltalk, and Tcl. Explain briefly how tuple spaces work. How secure and scalable are the tuple spaces you are familiar with, e.g., JavaSpaces? Solution Definition : A tuple space is an execution of the associative memory model for distributed/parallel computing. It offers a library of tuples, which can be accessed simultaneously. Tuples are terms with zero or more arguments and a key. Explanation: The collection of tuples supports some basic operations, such as adding a tuple to the space (write) and removing a tuple from the space (take). The tuple collection is kept and managed over a network of multiple tuple space servers. A tuple space is, as its name suggests, a place where processes can put, read, and take tuples, which are in turn just sequences of values is a tuple made up of a string, an integer, and a floating-point number; a tuple space can contain zero or more copies of that tuple, or of tuples containing other types of values, simple or complex. A process puts something in tuple space with put(value, value, ...). It can take something out with take(...), or copy something (leaving the original in tuple space) with copy(...). The arguments to take(...) and copy(...) are either actual values, or variables with specific types; values match themselves, while types match things of that type. .

Clint is Marilyn\'s supervisor. Marilyn is a dedicated part-time employee who is known for taking on responsibility. Clint joked with his colleague that he could trick Marilyn into completing a project for him so that he could take a long weekend. Clint told Marilyn that only she had the skills and conscientiousness to complete the project properly and on target and, further, that it would be a big favor to him if she would accept the challenge. Marilyn agreed to do the project. However, when she could not reach Clint over the weekend to obtain some additional explanation that was critical to completing the project, she left it incomplete. Clint placed full responsibility for the failure squarely on Marilyn, who now feels that her stellar record has a big blemish. Marilyn is lamenting all this, and after giving up her entire weekend with no extra pay, to boot. Solution (1) Clint broke the rule of regulations which was addition of extra explanation which was going beyond the topic. (2) Marlyn broke the rules of regulation which was failur to complete the project on time. (3) The common mistakes made by both Clint and Marlyn is that lack of skills utilisation over the work allocated. (4) Marlyn could recover from the mistakes commited from her by making correct decision using complete common sense and correct precsion in time. .
