DeVry HSM544 Week 2 Case Study
Latest 2016 November
Introduction
You are chief of staff to your
brother-in-law, Representative Howard Hughes, who was recently elected to fill
out a term in Congress.
He has been asked to participate in
a panel discussion on the Medicare funding crisis. You have been asked to prepare paper for him. The panel is asked to respond to a proposal for reducing
Medicare expenditures by enrolling participants in HMOs. What does the Congressperson say?
The following key questions must be
addressed in the paper:
Is Medicare in a state of crisis?
Are radical measures necessary to preserve the program?
How is Medicare funded now? Why do
elderly people feel that Medicare is an insurance program and not a welfare
program? Is this perception accurate?
Should there be a Medicare program
at all? Why should the government be involved in providing insurance to elderly
preople? Does Medicare have detrimental effects on the market for healthcare or
on the market for health insurance?
Are these economic effects, offset
by the positive effects of the Medicare program for the elderly? What about the
positive effects of caring for the elderly for society? Are there any
externalities here?
Your Congressperson wants to appear
intelligent. Do not be afraid to refer to
economic theory or theories of distributive justice.

GRADING CRITERIA FOR TERM PAPER:
The greatest value in a course comes
from applying the concepts, theories, and principles explored during class. The term paper will be graded according to the criteria
below and is worth 21% or your total grade. This term project gives you an opportunity to select an a
problem or situation with which you are familiar and identify a health care
management issue in which an element of that organization is or is not meeting
expectations. Then, drawing on the concepts and principles
from readings, exercises, current events, and class discussions, write a term
paper in which you:
• Introduce the issue (Background)
• Define the problem,
• Search the literature,
• Analyze the problem,
• Offer possible solutions,
• Propose a single solution,
• Develop an implementation plan,
and
Your paper must include, but is not
limited to, the following sections:
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: (20 points)
Once your paper is completed, you
will need to summarize the paper’s main points for your reader. Explain succinctly the problem/issue you are writing about
along with a summary of your paper’s main points. Include the solutions offered along with your identified
best solution and plan and how it will solve the identified problem/issue. Maximum Length of an Executive Summary is 1-2 pages.
DEFINE THE PROBLEM/ISSUE: (10
points)
Identify and clearly state the
problem which needs improvement or is not meeting expectations. Remember, that what appears to be the health care problem
or issue may actually be just a symptom of a bigger problem--dig deep to be
sure you've identified the real problem/s. If there appears to be more than one problem/issue, decide
if they are separate or related issues. State the problem in the form of a question.
LITERATURE REVIEW: (45 points)
Present what you discovered in your
search of the literature. Review theories, concepts, and
studies discussed in class and in our textbook AND review what other
writers/researchers have to say about the subject of your analysis. In short, demonstrate an understanding of the literature
and apply it sensibly to the problem. This is not a course in applied commonsense; however, such
practical intelligence is important, especially in the application stage. A literature review is like playing a video game in which
you are in a chamber with many doors. As you open each door, you uncover clues to help you
progress to the next level. Similarly, in a literature review,
your objective is to open the “doors” that can point the way to solving your
business problem. Begin your literature review with a
broad look at your field of interest, then narrow your focus until you zero in
on the essential issues/s of concern.
NOTE: A literature review is a
required element of this assignment. A good "rule of thumb" is to review at least ten
resources, beyond the textbook and class readings, to ensure the effectiveness
of your research. Be sure to list them in the
bibliography.
PROBLEM ANALYSIS: (45 points) This
section should provide a detailed analysis of the causes of the problem(s) or
issue(s) you identified in Section II. A major objective is to clearly illustrate how you are
using this course concepts (as well as what your learned from your literature
review) to better understand the causes of the problem(s) or issue(s). Show that you are applying course material!
POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS: (25 points)
Explore three solutions that could
be appropriate ways to solve the identified problem/issue. Be sure these solutions are logical based on your analysis
and that they each would effectively treat the problem, not the symptoms. Also, discuss the anticipated outcomes (both positive and
negative) of implementing each of the possible solutions you identified.
SOLUTION AND ITS IMPLEMENTATION: (25
points)
Outline your recommended solution to
the problem/issue—one of the alternatives explored in Section V or a
combination of those alternatives. State your solution clearly and specifically. Describe exactly what should be done and how it should be
done, including by whom, with whom, and in what sequence. Here are some points to keep in mind as you write this
section: Have I indicated an awareness of the problem of implementation (the
how aspect)? Have I been specific enough? A specific solution would state what
style is most appropriate for the situation and how you will attempt to the
have the manager realize the appropriate style.
What aspects of the problem remain
unresolved by my solution?
Does my recommended solution and
implementation plan address the problem/issues and causes identified in the
previous sections? Does my solution consider and resolve the identified pros
and cons?
How will I evaluate the
effectiveness of the implemented recommended solution?
What process checks or procedures
will I put in place to institutionalize the improvement?
Could my solution cause other
problems/issues? What risks are inherent in the solution you recommend? What
contingency plans do you recommend?
Assess the realism of your proposed
action plan. For example, is there adequate
time, money, or other resources for your solution? In addition, does your
solution place too much reliance on other people being “reasonable”—i.e., on what YOU think is reasonable?
JUSTIFICATION: (20 points)
Justify why your recommended
solution and its implementation will solve the identified problem/issue in the
organization/unit you selected. An important element of this
section is to show very clearly how you applied course concepts to arrive at a
workable solution and a successful implementation. Apply appropriate course material; support your conclusions
with appropriately referenced facts, quotes, and readings; and be sure your
justification addresses identified pros and cons.
REFERENCES: (20 points)
All citations in the paper must
appear in the reference list, and all references must be cited in the text. Choose references judiciously and cite them accurately. A citation of an author’s work in the text documents your
work, briefly identifies the source for readers, and enables readers to locate
the source of information in the alphabetical reference list at the end of the
paper. To use the ideas or words of another without crediting the
source is plagiarism. Plagiarism in its purest form
involves copying of entire passages either verbatim or nearly verbatim, with no
direct acknowledgment of the source. The most common (and unconscious) form of plagiarism is
when a direct quotation is simply paraphrased. Paraphrasing does not relieve you of the obligation to
provide proper identification of source data. The best way to avoid plagiarism is to make sure all
quotes, ideas, or conclusions not your own are given proper acknowledgment in
your text.
GRAMMAR/COMPOSITION: (20 points) The
paper uses acceptable terminology in standard English and reflects the use of
word processing software and spell check. Acceptable sentence structure is reflected with appropriate
use of grammar and style and considerate of the audience for which the paper is
written.
