  • Write a 700- to 1,050-word memo to the corporate compliance officer. Use the Organizational Research Memo Template to complete the assignment.
    Cite at least 1 reputable reference. Reputable references include trade or industry publications, government or agency websites, scholarly works, a textbook, or other sources of similar quality.

Co-dependent Cathy

Cathy began seeing you 6 months ago for marital issues. She had been married for 14 years to her high school sweetheart. Things started out good but as their family grew to four children the first five years, their marital relationship gradually deteriorated. Her husband, a sales manager traveled almost every week. When he was home, he tended to ignore her and the kids.

Cathy would occupy herself with housework, church duties and helping neighbors and other relatives. Most people thought Cathy had a good marriage, but inside she felt empty, trapped, and overwhelmed the household and child rearing responsibilities.

Feelings of frustration and anger would occasionally rise to the surface, but most of the time she just kept it all inside.

When Cathy started therapy, she had just discovered her husband had an addiction to pornography. She was surprised, hurt, angry and didn’t know whether she wanted to stay in the marriage or leave. She was concerned about the kids.

The therapy focused on a pattern of behavior called co-dependency. Cathy discovered that her husband was in many ways like her father, who was an alcoholic. She tried to control her family growing up and now she was trying to control her husband.

Gradually Cathy developed a healthy mental separation from her husband and as she began to get healthy, her husband admitted he had a problem with pornography and decided to get help himself. What skills did you use with Cathy? How will you ensure she is able to carry the lessons she learned from therapy over into her life? How will you terminate with her?

Limitations of Health Insurance Regulation

Limitations of Health Insurance Regulation

Implementation of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) has several implications for the day-to-day operations of HSOs as well as financial implications for the physicians, staff, and specialists engaged in effective healthcare delivery. With the implementation of the PPACA, healthcare providers may be required to expand in order to provide services to newly covered patients who obtained mandated health insurance coverage. With increasing numbers of patients and consumers of health subscribed to physicians, health insurance provider networks, and HSOs, the challenge of delivering effective and quality healthcare, while also promoting patient safety, remains an issue for healthcare leaders.

As a current or future healthcare administration leader, understanding how to interpret mandates, such as the PPACA, will likely inform decision-making as it concerns day-to-day operations, cost structures, and reimbursement policies.

For this Discussion, reflect on how the implementation of the PPACA might impact operations of HSOs. Then consider how the PPACA might affect cost structures and reimbursement rates for HSOs. Think about how the PPACA might affect different types of organizations engaged in healthcare delivery.

Write an analysis of the implications of the PPACA (financial, operational, etc.) for individual institutions and explain how it impacts their cost structure and might affect reimbursement rates. Be specific and be sure to include how this might differ across different types of health services organizations.
