The year is 2010 and you are a healthcare administration leader for a large HSO that delivers healthcare in an urban setting across a network of several hospitals, acute care centers, community clinics, and independent physician offices. The PPACA has just been signed into law and the board has called an urgent meeting to go over the provisions of the PPACA and to determine how it might affect the HSO and associated network. After meeting for several hours, the board has proposed that you write a brief on the implications of the PPACA on the HSO, including outlining recommendations on what the HSO will need to do to adhere to PPACA guidelines.

For this Assignment, consider how the implementation of the PPACA might affect HSOs. Think about what recommendations a healthcare administration leader might make to ensure that PPACA implementation is ensured for a HSO. Be sure to research and identify three peer-reviewed resources to support your work.

The Assignment: (3 pages)

• Describe two policy recommendations you might make for your health services organization and explain why these recommendations are important for PPACA implementation.
• Explain what steps you might recommend as a healthcare administration leader to ensure that your health services organization will address the implications of PPACA.

 

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
