Regulatory agencies are the physical manifestation of health care legislation. Each agency has a specific mission that is carried out under the authority of Congress. Choose a health care organization of interest to you. Write a paper that addresses the following: 1. Introduction about Joint Commission Resources. 2. Describe the purpose, mission, and goals of this health care organization. 3. Provide an overview of the type of health care organization and the community it serves. Discuss the population, or stakeholders, that this organization is committed to serving. 4. Identify the regulating agencies that oversee the organization. Why is the role of a regulatory agency important in health care? 5. What are the specific responsibilities assigned to regulating agencies? How do regulation agencies support health care and the stakeholders in health care? 6. Identify a health care issue/topic relevant for this organization (workplace safety, patient safety, quality, fraud and abuse, injury, etc.). Discuss the relevance of this issue or topic for the organization. 7. Evaluate the organization’s ability to meet the legal and ethical requirements based on agency regulations. 8. Conclusion.

Briefly define and explain the different forms of capital, according to Bourdieu, giving examples to support your answers. Then describe, in your own words, his theory about how the different forms of capital can be exchanged for each other, why someone might want to do this, and whether there are risks in attempting to do so. Then, read the articles “Cycling Matches the Pace and Pitches of Tech” and “Silicon Valley’s Lust for High-End Bikes”. Explain these in terms of the theories you have discussed above— what constitutes different forms of capital in the articles, whether people are attempting to exchange different forms of capital, and what the implications of that might be, using information from the second article as needed to provide support. You should aim to focus at least half of your answer on applying Bourdieu’s theories and concepts to the articles.

This assignment is to be exclusively a narrative paper;

What are factors and influencers that are contributing to the Ethical and Integrity dilemma and “breakdown” within employees in the Global Economy.

Research hints – In addition to situations similar to “Winning the Devil’s Bargain in the Document Sharing files; research the Economic challenges that are now existing in Greece, Turkey, Italy, England and to some degree in France. However, would be amiss if not including the current environment today of our (United States) legislatures and executive branches of our federal, state and local governments.

(These challenges to a large degree have evolved due to lack of ethics and integrity in the political representatives due to their drivers and messages to “win” the populace over with their political platforms). THIS IS NOT A POLITICAL STATEMENT BUT ONE MIGHT SEE SOME PARALLEL WITH THE POLITICAL PLATFORMS THAT ARE BEING PROJECTED BY US CANDIDTATES FOR THE UPCOMING ELECTIONS AND ESPECIALLY THOSE IN THE NEXT YEAR NOVEMBER ELECTIONS.

AND LET’S NOT LET THE MEDIA PLATFORMS “OFF THE HOOK”- do they really believe all of the stuff that they are putting out for “digestion” or acceptation. I try to explain this away as simply a factor of age; but have reach the point that I do not believe anyone or anything at all today.

It seems no one can tell the truth!!! However, I do have company in my observations. To add a little humor to the above; will insert a joke offered at a recent meeting of professors for all of the colleges; not just the College of Business. Do you know who the three biggest liars are? The answer: 1. Politicians; 2. Communication media (and especially those using “quantitative data” like all of the football analysts); and Business people (especially those in the executive ranks-ouch).

This assignment is to be exclusively a narrative paper; however, can have supporting graphs/charts in its appendix to support statements within the paper. The audience to receive this “paper” is the attendees at a Conference. The purpose of the paper is to be informative. Your purpose for presenting at this conference is to have the presentation eventually published.
