Medical and other healthcare-related scandals are too often reported in the news. We often read of individuals purchasing a unique pharmaceutical, then raising the price dramatically, massive Medicare fraud schemes, poor security or tracking measures at hospitals allowing a baby to go home with the wrong family or be stolen by a stranger, major leaks of or unauthorized access to confidential patient data, and clinicians and other healthcare professionals paying kickbacks for referrals or engaging in self-referral activities.

Attached are three different sample cases that you can select from when completing your assignment.

Assignment Instructions:

Select one of the cases to analyze according to the following considerations:

• What is the organizational structure of the company or agency with which you work? Who are the influencers? (Provide titles, not names.)
• How are organizational policies drafted, approved, and disseminated?
• Which ethical principles and theories apply to the scenario you selected?
• Which constitutional, statutory, and/or case law could apply to the scenario you selected?

Presentation: After researching your selected scenario, taking into account the considerations listed above, you will prepare a presentation which you will present at your organization’s board meeting. The slides will have notes consisting of 100-150 words per slide and you will provide a voice-over narration of your PowerPoint presentation. Due to the urgent nature of your presentation, you have been placed on an already full board agenda. Consequently, you must strictly adhere to 15 minutes.

Supporting Document: You will also develop a handout (risk-management plan brief, pre-authorization brief, or wait-time standard operating procedure brief) for the board members that corresponds to the case you have selected.

Length: The slide presentation will consist of 12-15 slides, not including the first slide as your title slide and the last slide as your reference slide. The handout should be an executive summary of no more than 2 pages that summarizes the components of the risk management plan, pre-authorization procedures, or wait-time SOP.

References: A minimum of 10 credible and scholarly references are required for this Signature Assignment.

Your presentation should demonstrate thoughtful consideration and integration of the ideas and concepts that have been presented throughout the course. Additionally, your presentation should provide new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your response should reflect graduate-level writing and APA standards.
