The Relationship Between the Iron Triangle of Healthcare and Value-Based Purchasing This assignment consists of the following parts:
1) What is the general concept of an iron triangle
2) Please identify and describe the corners of the iron triangle of healthcare. If you choose you can create a triangle using PowerPoint MS Paint or even draw it by hand and scan it in.
3) Describe what happens when you increase or decrease one corner of the triangle. For example Ill give you one of the answers and tell you that one corner of the triangle is cost. What happens to the other two attributes when you increase or decrease cost
4) This is going to be the toughest one (perhaps) to integrate into your paper. Well talk at length about Value-Based Purchasing (VBP) and the CMS incentive structure. VBP has two inherent corners of the triangle built into it but the third is often times overlooked. Provide insight as to how this third corner could be integrated the overall structure of VBP. Your paper should not exceed 4-5 pages not including your title page and references/appendices. As a reminder the bulk of your paper should be focused on the integration of the oft-overlooked prong of the iron triangle into VBP.

Learners will undertake an investigation of staffing implications for different systems and businesses to inform system comparisons. Learners will study menu planning and recipes suitable for different industry contexts. They will also investigate the importance of financial processes including purchasing options costing of raw materials and commodities and different selling price models. Learners will develop their understanding of the processes involved in planning and developing recipes and the factors that determine menu compilation for a variety of customer groups.
Scenario:
If the hospitality industry is considered to cover all undertakings concerned with the provision of food drink and accommodation away from home this will naturally include all food and beverage outlets. In other words food and beverage provision is simply one element of a broader hospitality industry.In conceptual terms this raises few problems except possibly with take-away food establishments where in some cases the food may be taken home for consumption even though it is prepared and provided away from home.
The restaurants and pubs bars and club sectors have shown very strong growth in turnover and can be seen to be the dominant sectors of food and beverage operations as a large part of hotel turnover is dependent on room sales.The canteen and contract catering or contract food service sectors have also shown strong growth.In employment terms restaurants are easily the largest sector closely followed by pubs bars and clubs with the hotel sector growing more slowly and the contract food service sector holding steady.The meal experience may be defined as series of events both tangible and intangible that a customer experiences when eating out. It is difficult to define exactly where a meal experience actually starts and indeed ends although it is usually assumed that the main part of the experience begins when the customers enter a restaurant and ends when they leave. However any feelings customers may have when they arrive at the restaurants and when they leave should also be taken into account and included as part of the total meal experience.
The series of events and experiences customers undergo when eating out may be divided into those tangible aspects of the product that is the food and the drink and those intangible aspects such as service atmosphere mood etc.It is then convenient at this point to discuss the broad distinction between market and cost orientation within the hospitality industry as these two terms are closely associated with the particular sectors of the industry that have been identified.EXAMPLES OF MARKET ORIENTATION are found in the hotels restaurants popular and fast-food sectors while COST ORIENTATION EXAMPLES are identified particularly in the welfare sector such as catering in prisons for patients in hospitals and often for in-house employee restaurants. It is arguable that in fact all sectors of the industry need to employ a market oriented approach.
A market orientated business displays the following characteristics:A high percentage of fixed costs for example rent rates management salaries depreciation of buildings and equipment. This high percentage of fixed costs remains fixed regardless of any changes in the volume of sales.-A hotel restaurant is an example of an operation with high fixed costs that have to be covered before profit can be madeAn suitable market demand for the product thereby requiring a greater emphasis on all forms of selling and merchandising of the product to eliminate shortfalls in sales and the need to manage the capacity of the business more closely.More likely to have a more flexible pricing policy in order to attract customers at off-peak times
A cost oriented business displays the following characteristics:A lower percentage of fixed costs but a higher percentage of variable costs such as food and beverage costs. The percentage of variable costs in cost oriented establishments varies with changes in the volume of the businesss saleA relatively stable market demand for the product. In comparison to market oriented businesses cost oriented operations enjoy a reasonably stable demand for their products. This makes planning and operating more predictable and controllable.More likely to have a more traditional fixed pricing policy.

*For Late Submission policy please refer to your student course handbook available on Live Campus.Plagiarism Rules and RegulationsNo plagiarism is accepted in assignments and students are advised to do the referencing correctly according to the Harvard Referencing System.Reduce your plagiarism by not sharing assignments and doing in text citations of sources usedusing the Harvard referencing methodWhat is Turnitin?
Turnitin is the software that EThames uses to calculate the similarity of your assignment to any other document submitted in the same system all over the world.
What happens when you submit an assignment on Turnitin?
You submit your assignment on Turnitin by submitting it on Livecampus on the assignment submission link. Your assignment is then compared with all of the assignments for all the different units submitted on Livecampus as well as assignments submitted by other students in other colleges and books and documents all over the world. The report generated is not the final report. The final report will only be generated after the final deadline which would mean that once the submission link closes and once every student submitted assignments at EThames for the specific unit only then the final report will be generated.
This means that if you have shared your assignment with anybody and they have submitted part of it or the full assignment the initial report your friend got wouldve indicated the similarity but your report wouldve remained unchanged. This is because the report is refreshed every time that you upload your assignment and then finally after the deadline. After the deadline their plagiarism will be high as well as your own.
What can you do to avoid getting a high Turnitin score? Do not copy pieces of work from any book or website. It needs to be rewritten in your own words and proper in text citation should be done according to the Harvard referencing methodDo not share your assignment with any friend not even to assist themPlagiarism
Plagiarism is passing off the work of others as your own. This constitutes academic theft and is a serious matter which is penalised in assignment marking.
Plagiarism is the submission of an item of assessment containing elements of work produced by another person(s) in such a way that it could be assumed to be the students own work. Examples of plagiarism are:The verbatim copying of another persons work without acknowledgement
The close paraphrasing of another persons work by simply changing a few words or altering the order of presentation without acknowledgement
The unacknowledged quotation of phrases from another persons work and/or the presentation of another persons idea(s) as ones own. Copying or close paraphrasing with occasional acknowledgement of the source may also be deemed to be plagiarism if the absence of quotation marks implies that the phraseology is the students own.
Plagiarised work may belong to another student or be from a published source such as a book report journal or material available on the internet.

Discuss the clinical use and mode of action of the drug and provide a comparison to alternative drugs used for the same therapeutic indication*

/in /by

Should lansoprazole be prescribed in preference to other available drugs for the treatment of gastro-oesophageal reflux disease?
Order Description
use as many references as you want; preferably journals + clinical trialsFor comparing lansoprazole with alternative drugs:
If there are many types of drug for a condition then it would be reasonable to compare 1 class of drug against another class. If there are very few treatments for a disease then it may only be a comparison between two individual drugs or it may be a comparison between your drug and an entirely different type of treatment. It is up to the student what sort of comparison to make any reasonable selection of treatments to compare is fine.
What is important in the exercise is to find (and ascertain the quality of) a range of scientific information concerning your drug and an alternative treatment you may choose what exactly to compare.
You must then use the information you find to produce a reasoned scientific argument as to whether your drug is better or worse. You have to express a viewpoint and argue the case (using sound scientific evidence). The exercise is based on finding and using scientific information; the specific drugs you choose to compare is flexible
6000PDPHAR Coursework 2: Essay Literature Review
The coursework for this module will help to develop your skills in finding and critically analysing information that you find in the literature or using on-line resources this will provide a sound basis for the independent research that you will do as part of your final year project. The second piece of coursework for this module requires you to find and analyse the information relating to the clinical use of your given drug (this is the same drug that you used for coursework 1).
You should write an essay entitled:
Should lansoprazole be prescribed in preference to other available drugs for the treatment of gastro-oesophageal reflux disease?To conduct this review students are expected to use high quality resources for their research. Assessing quality of resources is covered as part of the report on E-resources use and assessment and students should refer to the information gained through the related workshops when ascertaining which resources to use for this exercise. Each student will be allocated an individual drug which they investigate for both coursework exercises. Some drugs may be well-established treatments whereas others may be new to the market. Students are expected to research the use and properties of their given drug and make an assessment of how useful the drug is in comparison to other drugs available for treating the same condition. Where a drug is used to treat more than one condition the student may select any one of the known therapeutic uses.
The literature review essay is divided into five sections with marks allocated as follows
1. [30%] Discuss the clinical use and mode of action of the drug and provide a comparison to alternative drugs used for the same therapeutic indication*. Students should find information on the therapeutic application of their drug and how it works to treat the condition. The mode of action and efficacy of the drug should be compared to other drugs used to treat the same condition.
2. [30%] Discuss the side-effect profile of the drug and provide a comparison with the side effect profile of other drugs used to treat the same condition*. In particular note if there are specific contra-indications for use of the drug (e.g. for the elderly for children or those with impaired renal or hepatic function etc).
3. [10%] Discuss pertinent formulation issues for the drug. For example is it known to be stable or unstable does it have specific storage requirements? Are there different formulations available? Is the drug usually prescribed in a simple and convenient dosage form for the patient?
4. [20%] Use the information obtained for sections 1 4 above to provide a reasoned argument as to whether [your drug] should be given in preference to other drugs on the market for treating the same condition*. This should summarise the key points from the previous sections and be written in good scientific English.
5. [10%] Marks will be awarded for ensuring good quality reference sources have been used to obtain the information for this essay and for recording all references correctly (i.e. according to the guidelines given in the E-resources use and assessment workshop. You should use the Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmacology format for citing references)*If information on other drugs for treating the same condition is not available the essay should discuss these points in general terms e.g. what is the societal need for such a drug? Does the drug have a good or poor side-effect profile in general terms? Please ask for help if you are unsure.
The word limit for the essay is 1500 words (excluding references). You must state the word count (excluding references). 20 marks will be deducted for essays that exceed the word limit.This essay contributes 20% of the total mark for this module.
