Reflect on and evaluate the role that the managed care organization (MCO) plays in today's health care environment by developing a response that addresses the following: What is a health care organization's administrative role in executing risk management policies and ensuring compliance with managed care organization (MCO) standards? What value do the regulatory statutes of a typical MCO provide to a health care organization? Consider how strategies pertaining to policies such as conflict resolution and risk management affect patients as well as employees and employers. What MCO responsibilities relevant to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) focus on fraud, waste, and abuse laws?  

questionn 1Visit USA.gov and select the Government Agencies and Elected Officials tab. Choose an agency and navigate to its Web site. Then, find a recommendations report on a subject that interests you.In what ways does the structure of the report differ from the structure described in this chapter? In other words, does the report lack some of the elements described in this chapter, or does it have additional elements? Are the elements arranged in the order in which they are described in this chapter? In what ways do the differences reflect the audience, purpose, and subject of the report?question 2:Using a search engine, locate three or four sample laboratory reports. Compose an e-mail (300 to 400 words) to your mentor, using Word. Compare and contrast the basic elements of these reports. Consider the following questions:In which ways do they follow a similar format? If the reports differ in format, why do you think the authors chose to present information in the manner they did? [MO8.2]Adapted from Technical Communication, page 534, question 1Note: Your e-mail must be composed as a Word document and submitted as a written assignment to your mentor for gradingQuestion 3:Instruction Manual and Digital Flyer Using your summary as a guide (submitted by the end of Module 6), write a brief instruction manual (2 to 3 pages; 500 t 825 words) detailing how to use this item, or a component of this item. For example, you could write a manual about how to use e-mail on an iPhone, not how to use an iPhone (which would necessitate more than 3 pages). Then, design and create a digital flyer that could be used to promote or sell this item. Submit the instruction manual and digital flyer by the end of Module 7. Guidelines for the Instruction Manual Your set of instructions should be designed for a lay user; your sentences and organization should be simple and effective. The manual should contain front matter, consisting of an introduction that includes an overview of the manual's contents, and back matter, potentially consisting of safety regulations and/or tips on maintenance and servicing the device.Guidelines for the Digital FlyerThe digital flyer should be a one-page, color flyer. The flyer should take into account the intended audience. To whom are you attempting to sell this device/software? Be sure to include at least one graphic as well as text. The flyer should not be cluttered; it should be simple and easy to understand.Question 4:PowerPoint and Webcam Video PresentationDesign a PowerPoint that includes at least 10 slides, including background from your summary and a how-to section relying on your instruction manual. Be sure to use design elements from your textbook. Then, create a video of yourself performing a presentation of your PowerPoint using Kaltura Capture. Your presentation should be 3 to 5 minutes long. Submit the PowerPoint and webcam video in one media presentation by the end of Module 8. Guidelines for the PowerPoint The PowerPoint should contain 10 to 14 slides. Each slide must be clear and concise. There should not be more than six lines per slide. Graphics should be minimal and used only as necessary.Guidelines for the Webcam Video Create a video of yourself delivering the PowerPoint presentation. It should be 3 to 5 minutes long. Your audience should be able to see your face and the PowerPoint presentation at the same time. Your video presentation should be organized and include an introduction, purpose, your findings with supported material, and a conclusion.

You have been promoted to lead a newly formed team of 10 people. Most team members travel for work and some work from home part of the time. One of the things that takes up a lot of time for people who travel or work remotely is putting together expense reports for travel and home-based office expenses. You must review every expense report for accuracy before you send it to the accounting department, which verifies that the expenses do not exceed the budget for a particular account. If there are no budget issues, the accounting department tells the accounts payable department to reimburse the employee. If you find an inaccuracy or a receipt is missing, you must send the report back to the employee for correction. If the accounting department discovers a budgetary problem, they will send the report back to you to identify a different account to use for the expenses. Put together a PowerPoint presentation to use at the kick-off meeting with your new team to introduce the collaboration and productivity tools they will be using. Explain how your team will use the tools. For instance, will one person be in charge of the group calendar or will anybody be able to schedule meetings and invite participants? Consider how team members will get training or help, if needed. Include one slide with a process map depicting the steps for expense reporting and explain how collaboration tools could make this time-consuming process easier and/or faster. Do not overwhelm your team; pick no more than six collaboration tools. The PowerPoint presentation should look professional and include references in APA format so your team members can find more information about the tools you are proposing. This is your chance to shine with a new team and new role. You want to get off to a good start by making it easier for your team members to work together.
