Since the enactment of the Affordable Care Act, there have been several lawsuits in the federal courts, and some have made their way to the Supreme Court. Not all of these cases are accepted for appeal by the Supreme Court and thus are settled at the appellate court. Analyze a recent appellant court case related to a health care legal case. If possible, find a case in your own federal appellate court.
Discuss the following:
• In what court did this case originate?
• What is the law at issue in this case?
• What are the arguments supporting the law, and what are the arguments to overturn the law?
• Discuss the effect of this court case on health care delivery or operations. For example, will patient care be changed?
• How will the operations of a health care organization or health insurance company be changed?

 

Select a law that has an impact on the health care industry. Examples of such laws may include access to care, discrimination, health care privacy and security, employment, etc.
Write a 1,750- to 2,100-word paper in which you discuss the impact of the selected law on health care organizational policies.Include the following in your paper:
• Analyze the relationship between law and policy in health care.
• Differentiate legislative versus institutional policies in health care.
• Analyze the influence of politics on healthcare regulations, laws, and policies.
• Analyze the role and impact of governmental and non-governmental regulatory agencies on health care policy.
• Evaluate the impact of legislative policy on resource allocation in the healthcare industry.
• Analyze the roles of organizational stakeholders and interest groups involved in health care laws and regulations.

 

Answer the following four questions using 125 to 150 words for each response (for a total of 600
words). You must use course material to support your work and earn the most points. You will
score little to no points for not using course material. Each question is worth one point and there
is additional scoring for proper grammar and citations for a total of five points. The combined
length of the entire exam can be no more than two pages.
a. Describe one of the following functions of language from Bevan and Sole (2014, Section
4.2):
Serve as an abstraction of realitySustain and transmit cultureExpress imagination and creativityExpress confirming and disconfirming messagesb. Then, share an example that illustrates how this function is demonstrated in a
hypothetical communication exchange and explain its significance. Describe one of the
following functions of nonverbal communication from Bevan and Sole (Section 4.2).
Managing your impressions and identitiesManaging and interpreting your relationshipsRegulating the flow of interactionsEngaging in and detecting messages of emotion, influence, and deceptionThen, share an example that illustrates how this function is demonstrated in a
hypothetical communication exchange.
c. Using Bevan and Sole (2014), explain how biased language impacts attitudes, behaviors,
and perception. Be sure to spend some time on each element and explain the significance
of biased language overall.
d. Watch at least the first 10 minutes of the following video titled Digital Communication

7. Examine the olfactory sensory modality and discuss the processes involved in the sensation of
smell. Consider the factors (e.g., age, individual differences, gender) that affect the sense of
smell.
8. Consider the sensation of taste. Distinguish between types of taste and individual differences
in taste sensitivity.
9. Discuss the sensation of touch and what distinguishes this sensation from others. Distinguish
between active and passive touch. Consider the four basic types of sensation involved in touch.
10. Examine the factors that affect the sensation of temperature.
11. Consider the sensation of pain and distinguish between gate-control theory and psychological
control of as ways of decreasing pain awareness.
12. Consider the sensory systems involved in coordination (kinesthetic and vestibular).
13. Discuss how sensory adaptation and selective attention enable the human sensory systems to
respond to only particular types of information without confusion.
14. Explain the process of perceptual organization. Define the concept of figure and ground and
list and explain the five Gestalt “laws” of grouping.
15. Discuss the two types of perceptual constancy. Define size and shape constancy and discuss
factors that affect these tendencies.
16. Consider the factors involved in depth perception; namely, binocular depth cues and
monocular depth cues. Discuss whether depth perception is inborn or learned from experience.
17. Define the concept of perceptual set and examine how prior experiences can influence
perception.
18. Provide examples of perceptual illusions and explain how such illusions may stem from
overuse of “normal” perceptual rules.
19. Define extrasensory perception. Examine the evidence both for and against ESP.
