Unit 4 Examination

 

in 3-4 pages

 

The Supreme Court has repeatedly asserted that a defendant is not entitled to a jury composed in whole or in part of persons of his own race. Although these rulings establish that states are not obligated to use racially mixed juries, they do not prohibit states from doing so. In fact, a number of policymakers and legal scholars have proposed reforms that use racial criteria to promote racial diversity on American juries. Some have suggested that the names of majority race jurors be removed from the jury list (thus ensuring a larger proportion of racial minorities); others have suggested that a certain number of seats on each jury be set aside for racial minorities.

• How would you justify these reforms to a state legislature?
• How would an opponent of these reforms respond?
• Overall, are these good ideas or bad ideas?

in 3-5 paragraphs

• What dilemmas are created for police departments that pursue each of these strategies?
• Is the likely result institutional or contextual discrimination?

Application: Utilization Management and Models of Care

Health care providers and other interested parties must continuously look for ways to manage limited resources while improving quality and promoting patient safety. Utilization management is intended to “make sure that health care is delivered in the most efficient and effective manner for the patient and the population, where such activities directly impact the quality of outcomes” (Pelberg in Varkey, p. 145). The utilization management process bridges clinical, financial, and administrative functions.

Within traditional health care settings, utilization management can have a significant impact on the delivery of services. In addition, various models of care are emerging that may help transform health care delivery to achieve the aims of utilization management and quality improvement.

To prepare for this Application:

• Review the information on utilization management in Chapter 7 of Medical Quality Management. Also conduct additional research using the Walden library and credible Web sites (some of which are listed under Optional Resources).
• Analyze the Chronic Care Model and the Patient-Centered Medical Home Model. How might these models be beneficial for providing care to patients, especially those with multiple medical conditions?
• Identify the elements of each of these models, and evaluate which may be most significant for achieving quality and safety goals. Consider each of the six dimensions of quality identified by the Institute of Medicine.
• Reflect on how these models should be structured in order to achieve the best medical outcomes for individual patients at the lowest cost to society.

The Assignment

Write a 2- pg paper that addresses the following:

• Compare and contrast the Chronic Care Model and the Patient-Centered Medical Home Model.
• Evaluate which elements of these models may be most significant for achieving quality and safety goals.
• Explain how these models should be structured in order to achieve the best medical outcomes for individual patients at the lowest cost to society.
