ompt: In the first part of the course, we have applied foundational economic principles to the healthcare industry. For the first part of your final project, you will analyze these same microeconomic and macroeconomic principles and their impact on healthcare markets, healthcare service, and organizations. In this milestone, you will apply the knowledge you have gained through the first half of the course, as well as research current economic environments and legislative changes to gauge the impact on the healthcare industry through a policy research report.In Milestone Two, you will submit your draft of the policy research report. Based on instructor feedback and direction, you will revise your policy research report for the final submission of the policy research and organizational analysis report in Module Nine.Your policy research report should address the following elements:I. Economic Theories and Principles:A. Economic Disparities: Analyze the relationship between the financial well-being of the industry and availability of healthcare, in consideration ofmarket and demand theories.B. Economic Theories: What economic theories are most useful when applied to the healthcare industry and why?C. Use of Economic Principles: Why do organizations utilize economic principles to guide strategic short-term and long-term decision making?II. For-Profit and Nonprofit:A. Financial Differentiation: What differentiates for-profit and nonprofit healthcare organizations financially? What characteristics of each type ofhealthcare organization make the organizations different?B. Economic Differentiation: What differentiates for-profit and nonprofit healthcare in terms of economic policies and legislation? What key recentand current economic policies impact each?III. Policy, Changes, and Disparities:A. Economic Policy and Disparities in Care: Using current research and information (within the last five years), analyze the relationship betweeneconomic policy and disparities in care. How are they connected? How do they differ?B. Policy Changes: What impact do recent legislative changes have on healthcare economic policy in general?C. Disparities Planning: Why are disparities of care factored into healthcare strategic planning? Explain your reasoning and provide examples forsupport where appropriate.Guidelines for Submission: Your report should be in APA format and all resources and references should be cited appropriately. A well-written, concise report will fall within the range of 4–6 pages, not including references and title page.

5-2 Simulation Discussion: Production, Entry, and ExitDiscussion Topic Starts Jul 24, 2021 11:59 PMNOTE THAT A CUSTOM RUBRIC IS USED FOR THIS DISCUSSION.In a competitive market, there are many buyers and sellers. The goods offered are largely the same, and firms can freely enter or exit the market. Buyers and sellers are both price takers. The amount of output produced determines the revenue of a firm.First, play the simulation game Production, Entry, and Exit in the MindTap environment. In this discussion, you will share your experiences playing that game. Your work in this discussion will directly support your success on the course project.In your initial post, include the image of your simulation report in your response. See the How to Submit a Simulation Report Image document for more information. Then, address the following questions:Imagine you own your own business. Based on what you learned from the simulation, what factors would determine your entry and exit into a market?Applying the concept of marginal costs, how would you, as a business owner, decide how much to produce?How does the impact of fixed costs change production decisions in the short run and in the long run? Refer to the average total-cost (ATC) model included in the textbook to demonstrate.In your responses, comment on at least two posts from your peers. Research and provide examples from the news of firms in perfectly competitive markets. Discuss with your peers how costs impact these firms’ profitability.To access your simulations, click the simulation link found in the module.To complete this assignment, review the Module Five Simulation Discussion Rubric.

Search the Internet for Bitcoins, Unusual Hats or other Alternative Currencies.Consider the functions of money as well as the risks inherent in traditional fiat currency. After conducting your research, consider the following questions: Do alternative currencies have real world worth? What are the pros and cons of the expanding popularity and acceptance of these forms of money?This paper should be more than a page without headers or footers. Be sure to cite your sources.
