Access to Primary and Maternity Care Services
Access to Primary and Maternity Care Services
In the New York area there are consumers who have either no insurance, Medicare, Medicaid, or some type of commercial insurance. Race, income, and age play major roles in determining what, if any, insurance a person will have. For your paper you must discover how a patient’s financial class (primary insurance status) will affect their access to both hospital-based and non-hospital-based health care services. For example, for primary and maternity care, you will be exploring hospital-based for delivery and non-hospital-based for primary and pre-natal care.
Core research questions:
1) Does insurance status play an essential role in accessing services and thereby contribute to health disparities?
2) Should all providers be required to see patients regardless of ability to pay?
3) If so, what financial problems would that requirement create?
4) Is there sufficient funding for institutions that provide care regardless of ability to pay?
After gathering data, please write a paper of between 2,000- and 2,500-words excluding title page, charts, tables, and references. The paper should answer all the questions referred to in the “core research question” section. You should answer the questions in a narrative flow that clearly signals the question being answered without using a “Q&A” format.
Sections should include:
Introduction. Explain to the reader the problem you are exploring and why it is important.
Methodology. Document your process for obtaining and analyzing information and data.
Findings. Share your data. The papers should have information on the network of services directly related to primary and maternity care in the NY area and how providers are funded. It should address whether there are adequate services and what are their quality. You should provide data on how a patient accesses services in your service line, including typical wait times. You must discuss rates of payment by insurance type for the most common needs within your service line(primary care/maternity care).
Discussion. Take a position and form an argument to support your position on the core research questions.
Conclusion. Propose a solution to the problem.
Recruitment and Hiring Practices
Recruitment and Hiring Practices
A Silicon Valley recruiting firm searches for artificial intelligence (AI) and technology personnel for major companies around the world. The recruits’ workplace could be located anywhere the company operates, depending on their skills and expertise, although the tendency is to hire in-country nationals in each respective country. The company uses technology-oriented magazines, the company website, and social media to recruit the candidates they need for their clients. They started up about a year ago and went from 3 to 50 recruiters. Their recruiters are hired for their charm, communication skills, and industry expertise; however, most of the recruiters graduated from Ivy League colleges in the U.S. and most are white males. Lately recruiting numbers have been slowing down drastically, while general demand in the marketplace by employers for AI and technology personnel for the coming year is up 300%.
The current recruiting practice involves hiring people via the firm’s website recruitment area. The potential candidate merely attaches their resume and includes a short note to the recruiter (Step 1). These resumes are then screened (Step 2) using a data mining program, looking for certain criteria and terminology in their resumes. Those candidates getting through the initial screening are then auto-contacted by email (Step 3) to tell them they need to complete a quiz on the website using a particular password. If they pass this second screening, they are given an individual interview (Step 4) via the company’s online conference room. The final candidates are sent to the potential employer for the final interview (Step 5) and selection (Step 6).
Now, however, the president is getting complaints from the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and the technology firms that they need to be hiring a more diverse workforce and that there are no disabled candidates, and the number of minorities and women is almost nil. The president is now worried about losing clients and about potential lawsuits as a result of the firm’s recruiting and selection processes. The company needs to address a diverse client base. Their clients’ customers are predominantly Northern European, African American, Indian, and Hispanic.
