/in /by

This is an individual assignment

3 pages assignment

Descriptions of most of the steps below can be found in chapter 1 of your Engineering Economic Analysis textbook in the “The Decision-Making Process” section.

Step 1: Background Research (“Recognize the problem,” Ch. 1 of your Engineering Economic Analysis textbook)

Read/watch/listen to/view the resources provided for you on the Canvas Page: “Microplastics Problem Background Information” (linked here and available in the Weeks 3 & 4 module). Familiarize yourself with the microplastics issue, and the 2019 study on microplastics in Tampa Bay. You should conduct additional background research as necessary, ensuring that you use only credible sources.

Step 2: Research Global Approaches (“Assemble the relevant data,” Ch. 1 of your Engineering Economic Analysis textbook)

This is where you will begin to assemble the relevant data (see the “Decision-Making Process” section of your economics textbook). You will continue to assemble the relevant data in future assignments; for now, focus on the questions below. In your submission, number your answers 1-5, and include the bolded title preceding each question; for questions that ask for several specific examples, label each example (a, b, c, or as bullet points) below the title.

Healthcare Case Mix Crisis

Hospital A 16.1% 16%
Hospital B 18.6%
Hospital C 15.7%

Part I

Write a 3-4 page report in which you answer the following questions:

  1. Explain case mix and why it is important in evaluating different health care providers.
  2. Refer to the table of heart attack mortality rates for Hospitals A, B, and C. From your reading this week, what variables might be impacting the rates in the table? Please explain and discuss the use of data analysis for evaluating this kind of information.

Healthcare & Normative Ethics Community Health & Patients Treatment

/in /by

Two classmates responses 125 words each with references.

One: Normative ethics addresses what kind of acts are right or wrong by examining the norms by which people make moral choices. Consequentialism and Deontology are two critical theories that are often used to apply normative ethics to healthcare decisions. Consequentialism considers the consequences of actions to identify which choice is likely to yield the most “good” and least “bad”. (Morrison and Furlong, 2019) Deontology emphasizes that individual acts are inherently right or wrong, independent of the outcome and asks what one ‘ought’ to do concerning duty or obligation. The consequentialist theory could be used to justify overriding a patient’s decision to refuse treatment if it is believed that this will result in the best overall outcome.

From the perspective of a physician who is responsible for the management and delivery of a patients’ care, they operate from the foundations of beneficence and nonmaleficence. Ultimately, the physician cannot move forward with any treatment plan at the end of the day unless the patient agrees to do so. (Welie, et al., 2014) With that being said, Kant’s ethical principle of moral autonomy refers to the capacity of rational agents to legislate for themselves – the moral law. The capacity for autonomy is the basis of the dignity of humans and of every rational being. When it comes to theories that support making a treatment decision for a patient, even when they do not want treatment, moral autonomy is one of them. Competent patients have the right to refuse medical treatment. The right to refuse medical treatment by a competent person is supported by United States laws and by the ethical principle of autonomy. This is even the case when the treatment is likely to save or prolong the patient’s life. (Radley & Payne, 2009)
