Prepare a three (3) to four (4) page written response addressing all information in the following table. Text must be double spaced. Also include a cover page and a reference page in APA Format (these do not count toward the page limit). Review the bolded text in the Class Guidelines section of the syllabus above for formatting requirements.
Highlight five (5) notable parts of the regulation. For each of the parts, describe how the patient, provider, product developer, health care organization and/or payer may be impacted. Remember to write in narrative format except for titles. No more than 15% of direct quotes or paraphrasing are permitted in the document. Use citations and attach the notated regulation. In Week Five, you need to sign up for a topic in the Assignment Three Topic Selection folder in LEO. Unless the professor reaches out to you directly, your chosen topic is approved. Note a maximum of five (5) students may select the same topic. The topics are as follows:
Frontline workers must be immunized for influenza and potentially other contagious diseases. Where does this requirement come from and how does the state regulation ensure compliance?
Health professionals maintain responsibility for reporting elder and child abuse and neglect. How do state regulations help to meet this expectation?
Long-term care facilities must offer certain services according to state standards. What are they?
Some states have a certificate of need program to assess the need for new health service providers. How does this work?
Sexually transmitted diseases are reportable under state regulation. What diseases and what regulations ensure this reporting properly?
Parental notification is required for the treatment of minors. Select a state and indicate how parental notification related to teen pregnancy in that state.
Patients must consent to participate in research studies, including granting permission to use their biological tissues for tissue banks or organ banks. Does this involve state regulations if not what laws govern this?
Health insurance is administered on a state level. What state regulations govern Health Information Exchange? (Note you must select a state with a Health Information Exchange in operation or close to operation.)
Alcohol and drug treatment varies widely across states. Select a state and note the specific regulations about drug treatment facilities.
CLARIFICATION: You need to select ONE specific state regulation/law from ONE state that addresses your chosen topic. Then highlight/select FIVE notable parts of the regulation. Then, in a paper format (NOT in the table), answer all the inquiries from the table. That includes analyzing all five parts of the regulation and its impact on the noted stakeholders in the table.
