Topic: Access to Care / Vulnerable Populations 

Access it through this link:

https://www.practicalbioethics.org/resources/case-studies (Links to an external site.) scroll down to Access to Care / Vulnerable Populations and select the case of your choice. 

You will be responsible for analyzing the case study presenting an ethical dilemma. The case review/study analysis is worth 20% toward your final grade. The analysis should be based on the chapter 12 Planetree Model. Integrate the model concepts and the College of Healthcare Executives (ACHE) ethics tool kit, which includes a model adapted from the seven (7) step process of Nelson (2005) in the case study analysis. Explain each of these seven points and integrate the Planetree Model to support each of the steps in the process of conflict resolution. 

For you to get the full credit for this assignment:

  • Ensure to include at least five (5) relevant research (evidenced-based) articles (5-yrs from today or earlier) to support the ethical opinion-based arguments
  • Follow the case review rubric published in the Modules section on Canvas.
  • Provide a detailed ethical analysis of the original case study and moral dilemma that you will develop

Case Analysis:
In the ethical conflict between Herman’s autonomy and Dr. X’s beneficence, what advice would you offer?

Questions to consider:

1) When does persuasion become coercion?

2) When does Dr. X’s prediction of nerve dam­ age resulting from chiropractic manipulation become scientific knowledge?

3) How much information does Herman need to make his choice? Can information become excessive?

4) Are facts (information) essential for Herman’s informed choice to visit the chiropractor? Discuss the role information serves in decision-making?

5) Although Dr. Jones has an X-ray machine in his office, to Dr. X’s knowledge, he has never been certified in performing or interpreting CAT scans. Should Dr. X attempt to share this data with Dr. Jones?

Portfolio Performance Analysis

For this last milestone, you will first complete your portfolio by comparing the risk/return trade-off on the investments you are compiling. Then, as part of the beginning of your executive summary, you will describe how your investments performed on both an absolute and a relative basis.

Create a comparison matrix that shows the 5 types of business structures and compares and contrasts each type of business structure.

Background:  Connor, Ali, Madison, and Sam recognize an important early step in creating GC is to agree on a business organizational form and clarify the owners’  roles because each has different priorities, interests, and expectations about the business.

 

Businesses are created in one of several organizational structures, or forms.  Choosing a business structure involves several factors, including which structure is most favorable for the business and its owners.  

 

The goal for GC is to minimize legal risks and liabilities, as well as tax liabilities, for the owners and the business.  The owners understand a business organizational structure can achieve this goal and can define their managerial roles and responsibilities clearly to satisfy their interests and maximize their areas of expertise.

 

Connor, Ali, Madison, and Sam agree that weighing and balancing advantages and disadvantages for the company and its owners is the heart of the process of choosing a business structure.   The owners have met privately to discuss their decision.   They are now ready to meet with TLG for further analysis, negotiation, and a decision regarding the Green Clean business structure.

 

Instructions:  To assist in this process, Winnie and Ralph asked you to assess several business structures and their characteristics, advantages and disadvantages for Green Clean.  Those structures are:

 

General Partnership

Limited Partnership

Limited Liability Partnership

General Corporation

Limited Liability Company

Evaluate and synthesize this information, and do the following 2 things. 

 

1.  Create a comparison matrix that shows the 5 types of business structures and compares and contrasts each type of business structure. 

 

You may use the chart format in the hyperlink above, or create a similar chart, or create an excel chart.

 

The chart should include several areas for comparison, i.e., procedure for formation, cost of formation, etc.  The chart should include various types of liability for comparison. 

 

The chart should be an in-depth and comprehensive comparison.

 

Ensure the pros and cons of each organizational structure are easily and clearly compared on the chart.

 

2.  Write a memo to GC owners:

 

A.  recommending a business structure for GC that best minimizes tax and personal liability for the new business and its owners

 

B.  explaining and justifying your recommendation, specifically and in detail.

 

Format:

The Importance Of Reading Peer-To-Peer Activity

The Importance of Reading Peer-to-Pee

 

Overview

 

In your first essay for this course, you engaged in self-reflection using the results of a survey by the AACU on the priorities of potential employers and what they expect from college graduates. The list of desired skills included critical thinking, ethical judgement and integrity, intercultural skills, and the capacity for continued/new learning. One of the most effective ways to achieve these skills is to cultivate habits of reading widely and regularly, and then thinking critically about what you read. These reading habits should include keeping up with important current events and problems. In fact, one of the traits found in common in a study of successful people was “a passion and dedication for reading (Links to an external site.)” (Wu). Warren Buffet, for example, once suggested reading 500 pages a day in order to continue to grow and succeed! For the assignment you are working on now, you are reading a piece of long-form journalism in order to cultivate rhetorical reading/thinking, as well as composition skills for engaging the writing of others. 

 

In order to develop your skills in intercultural communication, diversity, ethical judgement, and integrity, you must read outside of your own narrow political, social, religious, and/or cultural position. In fact, you should seek out as many different perspectives as possible, keeping an open mind, weighing and evaluating evidence using critical thinking. Though this assignment focuses specifically on reading, exposure to new ideas and seeking out new knowledge in the 21st century is, like composition, often multimodal. Podcasts, Youtube channels, and web resources provide a wide variety of material and perspectives you can use to expand your worldview and build knowledge. Cultivating habits of reading, fostering knowledge and expanding the mind will help ensure you have the desirable skills that employers want from college graduates. 

 

Process and Instructions

 

For this assignment, you will reflect upon how you can cultivate habits of reading and the mind that will help you to hone your skills in critical thinking, ethical judgement and integrity, intercultural communication, diversity, and a continued desire to learn new things. You will reflect upon what you have read in the most recent past, how it has helped you to learn and develop the skills discussed here, and if/how you can improve your habits of reading and the mind in the future. 

 

Steps for completing this assignment:

 

  1. Review the key findings of the survey “It Takes More Than a Major (Links to an external site.)” by the AACU (Links to an external site.).
  2. Reflect upon your habits of regular reading. Think about where you get information, how you get information, the social, political, and/or cultural context in which you seek out information, and how much time you spend reading outside of school/work on a weekly basis. Think about what you are gaining or losing due to your reading habits. 
  3. Compose a discussion post of 200 words in which you describe your reading habits, as well as mention specific things that you have read in the last week. In your post, you should also discuss how your reading habits are or are not helping you attain the general skills desired by employers, as well as how you can continue to hone these skills or change your habits in order to gain them. List a few specific things you can do to ensure that you cultivate a habit of reading widely in order to foster critical thinking, intercultural communication, ethical judgement, integrity, and a continued desire to learn. You may also consider multimodal sources of knowledge-gathering and truth-seeking, such as podcasts or blogs/vlogs, that you seek out (or will in the future) in order to continue learning and expanding your mind outside of school or work.
