Should Regulatory Compliance Be A Goal Or A Constraint For Health Care Companies? Finding Effective Methods To Assure Compliance With The Federal Anti-Kickback Statute And The False Claims Act, Roni A. Elias

Florida A & M University Law Review

The stereotypical conception of compliance is reinforced by some of the fundamental assumptions about what the primary objectives of a corporation should be and about how a corporation should accomplish those objectives. According to the prevailing theory of corporate structure, a corporation exists for the sole purpose of earning profits for its shareholders, and all of its actions are to be directed toward that end. If compliance with the law is not an inherently profit making activity, it is to be treated as a constraint on the corporation's efficient operation. According to this view, compliance will generally be considered a …

Marijuana And The Workplace: How High Are The Stakes For Employees?, Jayden D. Gray

Utah OnLaw: The Utah Law Review Online Supplement

The state legalization of marijuana has generated an array of questions and challenges for industries such as law enforcement, banking, and even real estate. Moreover, it has created a considerable amount of tension between federal and state law. Despite the legalization of marijuana in various states, employees are still in jeopardy of being fired for their “legal” marijuana use. Based on statutory interpretation, and federal and state court precedent, the federal ADA offers no protections to employees terminated for marijuana use due to the fact that marijuana remains a Schedule I controlled substance pursuant to the CSA. Few states have, …

Beyond Administrative Tunnel Vision: Widening The Lens Of Costs And Benefits, Govind Persad

Sturm College of Law: Faculty Scholarship

Choices in one sector or department of public policy, such as health, frequently produce costs and benefits in other sectors, such as education or the environment. In this article, I argue that administrators should not make decisions in ways that ignore effects on other policy sectors, and arguablythough more debatably-should not give special priority to the interests of their own sector In Part I, I review contexts where administrators are directed to ignore or give a lower priority to effects on other policy sectors. In Part II, I lay out an argument that agencies should not ignore these effects (using …

Evolving Workforce Roles In Medicare Next Generation Acos, Clese E Erikson

Health Workforce Research Center Publications

The purpose of this study was to explore key workforce strategies in Next Generation Accountable Care Organizations (Next Gen ACOs), the latest evolution in Medicare ACOs. We conducted semi-structured interviews with leaders from seven of the initial 18 Next Gen ACOs to better understand their perceptions regarding how workforce roles are changing to support the Next Gen ACO model. Key Questions:

1. What new and expanded roles for existing health workforce members are reported by Next Generation ACO leaders?
2. Has use of the health workforce changed as a result of Next Gen waivers for telehealth, home visits, and use of SNFs? …

Medical-Legal Partnerships With Communities: Legal Empowerment To Transform Care, Tamar Ezer

Articles

Medical-legal partnerships (MLPs) integrate legal services into health care settings to provide holistic care and address the social determinants of health. This article brings a legal-empowerment lens to MLP work, arguing for a stronger focus on communities. It examines the application to MLPs of bringing services to communities, investing in rights literacy, and partnering with community-based paralegals. It then outlines the potential for a transformation in health and legal services to a rights - rather than needs-based framework where communities are active partners in program design and development.

Repealing Federal Health Reform: Economic And Employment Consequences For States, Leighton C. Ku, Erika Steinmetz, Erin Brantley, Brian K. Bruen

Health Policy and Management Issue Briefs

Issue: The incoming Trump administration and Republicans in Congress are seeking to repeal the Affordable Care Act (ACA), likely beginning with the law’s insurance premium tax credits and expansion of Medicaid eligibility. Research shows that the loss of these two provisions would lead to a doubling of the number of uninsured, higher uncompensated care costs for providers, and higher taxes for low-income Americans.

Goal: To determine the state-by-state effect of repeal on employment and economic activity.

Methods: A multistate economic forecasting model (PI+ from Regional Economic Models, Inc.) was used to quantify for each state the effects of the federal …

Reducing The Rate Of Late Stage Breast Cancer Through Effective Health Communication: An Opinion Piece, Rachele Hendricks-Sturrup

Internet Journal of Allied Health Sciences and Practice

Purpose: Health and illness are traditionally characterized and treated differently across various ethnic groups, which encourages American health systems serving these diverse populations to explore culturally competent and safe ways to effectively reduce illness within such populations. Certain ethnic groups of women in the United States (US) bear greater risk of late stage breast cancer because of various circumstances, which include but are not limited to a lack of insurance or underinsurance and discomfort with and/or resentment toward the US healthcare system. The dominant culture and the social aspects of the modern American health system often and most favorably serve …

Assessing The Relative Influence And Efficacy Of Public And Private Food Safety Regulation Regimes: Comparing Codex And Global Gap Standards, Sam F. Halabi, Ching-Fu Lin

Faculty Publications

An extensive global system of private food regulation is under construction, one that exceeds conventional regulation, thought of as being driven by public authorities like FDA and USDA in the U.S. or the Food Standards Agency in the UK. Agrifood and grocer organizations, in concert with some farming groups, have been the primary designers of this new food regulatory regime. These groups have established alliances that compete with national regulators in complex ways. This article analyzes the relationship between public and private sources of food safety regulation by examining standards adopted by the Codex Alimentarius Commission, a food safety organization …
