(Links to an external site.)
, and the handout The STARK Law. Then, review the following case study:
Two physicians, Dr. S. and Dr. V., leased a nuclear camera so they would no longer have to refer their patients to the local hospital for nuclear imaging. Faced with the prospect of losing over a third of its $2,274,094 in annual gross nuclear medicine revenues, the hospital responded by threatening to revoke the doctors admitting privileges. Lengthy negotiations ensued, at the end of which the hospital agreed to sublease the camera from the two physicians; the camera remained at the physicians offices but other physicians with privileges at the hospital could use it. Four other local physicians who provided the same or similar services to patients as Dr. S. and Dr. V. brought a qui tam action alleging that the sublease violated the Anti-Kickback and Stark Acts and that the defendants falsely certified compliance with those laws in connection with claims submitted to Medicare in violation of the False Claims Act.

HUM 1 – DB: Using Art to Explore Culture
Course Texts:
Arnold, D. Art History: A Very Short Introduction
ISBN: 978-0192801814
Dana Arnold uses four examples to show how art historians can use pieces of art to better understand aspects of human culture and human experience. The four pieces of art are:
The Strozzi Altarpiece
Las Meninas
The Apollo Belvedere
The Dinner Party
Your first task is to choose one of these pieces of art and to explain Arnold’s analysis of it. This task will require level one and level two thinking. Separate those two kinds of thinking in your post.
In one section, create a list (bullet points are fine) of information drawn from the text that you think will be useful in explaining Arnold’s discussion. Your list may include quotations and paraphrases.
In a second section of the same post, use the information you’ve gathered to explain what Arnold’s central points are about your chosen piece of art and how she uses that piece of art as evidence for her claims. Your analysis of Arnold’s discussion here should be 1-2 paragraphs.
———————————————————————-
Once you’ve completed this first task, go back and look at other students’ posts. Find one person who used the same piece of art that you did and compare their post to your own. In a reply to that student, explain how your level one information and level two analysis was similar to and different than their own. In the same reply, do the level three task of evaluating those similarities and differences. What would you change about your own analysis now that you’ve seen theirs? What do you think they might change to improve their own discussion? Why?

You may not use any quotations. All information must be paraphrased or summarized in your own words.
Each paragraph must include at least one citation showing where your information was found. You may use the same source for more than one topic, but each topic must identify the source(s) used. APA citations and references are acceptable but not required. Review the APA formatting and citation style found in the Writing Center.

Plagiarism
Plagiarism is an act of academic dishonesty. It violates the Honor Code, and the offense is subject to disciplinary action. You are expected to be the sole author of your work. Use of another person’s work or ideas must be accompanied by specific citations and references. Whether the action is intentional or not, it still constitutes plagiarism.
The Tell-Tale Heart
The term papers should be typed and double spaced, using a Times New Roman font of 12. There should be a title page and one-inch margins should be utilized throughout the paper. Students will be given a list of articles to choose from that will be posted in the class website. All of the articles can be found in the American Perspectives E-Reader Vol.1. You must not use other sources to write these papers. In regard to the term papers, students need to discuss what is the article about, what is the author trying to argue, and what are your thoughts. I will not accept any late work. Also, please make sure to use Microsoft Word when you type your papers. If any other word processing program is utilized, I may not be able to open your file and grade your work. Unless I indicate otherwise, I take off one point for each error that I see and that includes grammar, punctuation, spelling, errors in spacing and incorrect margins. I also do not want to see any quotes or quotations in any paper that is turned in to me. I take off two points for each quote that I see in a paper. Also, plagiarism will not be tolerated. Anyone committing this offense will be given an F in their paper. Any paper that you turn in to me must be written entirely in your own words.

To properly implement change, a manager needs to have a toolkit for staff to use in order to help with the transition. When staff is trained and provided with the tools required for success, the change can run more smoothly and chances of long-term success are greater.
Instructions: After reading the unit articles and watching the unit videos, complete the following:
Choose three of the strategies or tools discussed and create a training toolkit presentation for the staff to use during the implementation of the EMR. The toolkit should include:
Three strategies for the staff to use during implementation. Each strategy should include: A summary, examples, and ideas for the staff to apply for individual roles during change implementation (recall the roles created in Unit 5 for each staff member in the scenario) and recommendations for use of the strategy, specific to the EMR implementation
Steps outlined for staff as to how/when to apply strategies during implementation
Create a PowerPoint presentation of the information in this assessment. The presentation should be a minimum of 10 slides, not including the title slide and the reference slide.
