Topic:

It is now possible to have human embryos produced via in vitro (test tube) fertilization (IVF) tested for many different genetic diseases such as Huntington’s disease, muscular dystrophy, cystic fibrosis, sickle-cell anemia, a form of Alzheimer’s disease, and BRCA1 associated cancers among others. Those embryos that have the gene for any of these diseases will be discarded and only those embryos lacking the disease-causing genes will be used for implantation into the potential mother. The technique used to do this is called “pre-implantation genetic diagnosis” (PIGD). It is also possible for sperm/egg donor banks to carry out a fertilization event on paper before it is done in vitro.

This way, prospective parents can reduce the risk of having a child with some genetic disorder. There are also other genetic changes that might be done with PIGD techniques including the choice of embryos with specific gene combinations for eye color, height, hair color and others. Many traits will likely not lend themselves to modification because they are too complex.

Finally, the potential exists for modification of an embryo with a genetic disorder that would replace the 'bad' copy of the gene with 'good' copies.

Give a detailed explanation of IVF. Be sure to discuss the various reasons why couples might choose to use this technique.
Discuss the details of PIGD. What procedures must be done to lead to the production of a 'healthy' embryo. Be sure to discuss what 'healthy' means in this context.
Weigh in on the topic of PIGD in conjunction with IVF pointing out what you think are the pros and cons of this developing and ever-improving technology.
Respond to Others: Read the postings of your classmates and comment on at least one other student's response. Justify any comments you make with factual information.

Public health and health care delivery systems have adapted the concept of continuous or total quality improvement from the engineering, manufacturing, and business sectors.  The ultimate purpose of quality improvement in organizations is to improve health outcomes.  Quality improvement involves a deliberate and defined improvement process used by individual professionals, teams, and organizations to improve their performance, efficiency and effectiveness.  Improving efficiency includes reducing costs.  This systematic approach requires the manager to have a good understanding of how systems work and expertise in applying tools such as root cause analysis, benchmarking, and dashboard reporting.

The readings in this module explore the history of quality improvement, tools and techniques for improving quality and performance, and examples of successful initiatives in public health and health care delivery organizations.

“The Triple Aim” framework developed by the Institute for Healthcare Improvement broadens the scope of quality improvement to include the health system as a whole and combines elements of both public health and health care delivery to address three overarching goals:

Improving the patient experience of care (including quality and satisfaction);
Improving the health of populations; and
Reducing the per capita cost of health care.

Look in the Capella University Library and on the Internet to find resources on Medicare, Medicaid, and managed care. Specifically, you need information on what each program is, how it works, and how organizations receive reimbursements from each. You will need these resources to complete this assessment.

For the purpose of this assessment, suppose you work for a large health care organization that partners with the local college on a number of initiatives. As a part of that partnership, you have been asked to be a guest presenter for an introductory health care finance class. You need to explain sources of health care revenue and how the reimbursement process works. You need to prepare a 45-minute lecture on that topic.

There is no prescribed format for this assessment, but you must reference at least three resources and follow the APA guidelines. Just be sure that your assessment is organized logically and your information is presented clearly.

Requirements

Write a 45-minute lecture plan for an introductory health care finance class. (You will not be evaluated on whether your lecture plan is actually 45 minutes in length.) The three types of revenue sources you will cover are the following:

Medicaid.
Medicare.
Managed Care.
For each of the revenue sources, you must do the following:

Explain the purpose of the program.
Analyze the process of reimbursement for health care organizations.
What steps must be taken in order to receive reimbursement for services?
How complicated is each step?
What kind of information is required from the organization?
How long does it take to receive reimbursement?
Explain the benefits of the program for both patients and health care organizations.
The length of this assessment will vary depending on the format you use. If your completed assessment is longer than eight pages, you may need to be more concise in your writing. If you have only two pages, you have probably not fully addressed all elements of the assessment.

Please include a title page and reference page, even though you would not include those in real life.

Additional Requirements

Include a title page and reference page.
Number of pages: Roughly 4–7.
At least three current scholarly or professional resources.
APA format for in-text citations and references only.
Times New Roman font, 12 point.
Double-spaced.
