Primary Task Response: Within the Discussion Board area, write 400–600 words that respond to the following questions with your ideas, analysis, and comments supported with application of course learning materials. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas.

Review the UWEAR and PALEDENIM scenario found here.

You will first meet with the CEOs of each organization, Theresa Tramlin and Mike Miller, to help them understand their important leadership roles for the success of the merger.

The merger is a significant change for both organizations; there is growing anxiety and uncertainty among the employees of both organizations. The goal is to complete the merger in a way that maintains employee performance and allegiance to the merged organization. Both CEOs were promoted from managerial positions, so one of your tasks is to help them understand how to distinguish the two roles.

Please discuss the following with your classmates:

• In your opinion, what is the difference between being a manager and being a leader?
• Read research findings by Kabacoff (1998) that, although men and women are perceived as equally effective in leading, women tend to focus more on production, attaining results, and people, while men tend to focus on strategic planning, organization vision, and business tasks.
• Considering this, in your opinion, which leadership theory or style will be effective when leading the merger and why?

Physicians as Practice Administrators

Physician practices are a key component of the U.S. health care system. According to the text, a significant amount of revenue that the health care industry generates can be directly linked to the care that physicians provide for their patients. In addition, physicians in a medical practice add to this revenue stream by admitting patients to a hospital, prescribing prescription medication, ordering home health services and medical equipment, and referring their patients to other health care providers for care and treatment. As a future health care administrator, it is important for you to demonstrate an understanding of the challenges and opportunities that today’s physicians face in providing quality health care services.

Write a 4–6 page paper in which you:

1. Compare the main various forms of medical group practice. Next, select the form that would be most attractive to a newly licensed physician. Justify your selection.
2. Analyze how the role of the physician in a medical practice has changed in the past twenty years. Assess three specific challenges that today’s physicians face as members of a medical group practice. Support your response. 
3. Suggest three specific competencies that a physician should demonstrate to be successful as a practice manager. Next, determine three hurdles that a physician might face as the leader of a group practice. Provide rationale for your response. 
4. Assess the value of effective Human Resources Management (HRM) in a medical practice. Suggest three functions of HRM necessary to attract and retain the type of employees needed for the practice in order to achieve long-term success. Support your recommendations with specific examples of how each function impacts the overall success of the practice.
5. Determine three aspects of consumer behavior that the physician’s practice management should consider as part of an effective marketing strategy for medical practices. Provide a rationale for your response. 
6. Use at least three quality academic resources. Note: Wikipedia does not qualify as an academic resource.

Determine physician competencies, HRM functions, and marketing strategies a group practice must assume to ensure long-term success of the practice

 Assignment Content

Like all laws, health care laws start as health care policy and make their way through the legislative process to become law. It is important to understand that hundreds of policies and ideas work through this process each year; however, only a select few will become law. The purpose of this assignment is for you to read about a current regulatory issue in health care and understand how laws support the regulation of the health care industry.

Research and identify one article or a current legal case within the last 3 to 5 years (e.g., an issue that went to court to have the court determine the outcome) that involves one of the following issues:

• A regulatory issue in health care
• A regulatory issue specific to institutional health care
• Write a 350- to 700-word paper in which you:
• Summarize the case or article.
• Define a law involved with the chosen regulatory issue from both a state level (choose one common state) and a federal level.
• Explain how and why the law was created.
• Consider what you have read in the article or legal case on the selected regulatory issue, and explain the impact that regulatory issues and trends have on the health care industry.
• • Cite 2 (or more)  peer-reviewed, scholarly, or similar reference to support your paper.
    Format your assignment according to APA guidelines.
