Abstract
This paper shows that administrative programs are planned and developed for the health care services industry based on a number of deciding factors. It discusses how, when looking at health care services and planning administrative programs, the following are taken into consideration: Composition and social organization of society at large; Utilization by the population of health care services including acute care treatment facilities and chronic illness vs. long term care; Government involvement in public health and funding; Politics. The paper shows that all of these factors play a key role in determining how our health care services are structured. The paper examines how the America health care system presently serves a large and diverse population through an assorted number of programs including private/group care facilities, ambulatory services, hospitals and long term care facilities. Each of these programs in turn is administered in different ways. The paper also looks at overall trends in health care services in the United States today.
From the Paper
"One important idea to consider when discussing the administration of health care services is the perceived need by the public for such services. The concept that the availability of health care services creates a demand for health care and need is important to consider. New technological advances have perhaps implanted in the minds of physicians and patients the need to treat disease that may have otherwise been ignored. One important factor to consider in planning health program administration is evaluation of utilization of health care services. The function of health planners is to identify areas of greatest need or highest potential demand in communities for health care delivery organizations. Patient care plans can only be decided upon once social, psychological and physiological factors are accounted for. Many models exist that explain the public?s access to health care services and resulting trends in usage of such facilities and programs."

From the Paper
"Another book entitled ?Contemporary Career development? asserts that there are other factors behind the use of reward systems in the workplace. The author explains that organizations not only use reward systems to increase productivity and performance, but also to urge potential employees to join the organization and to reinforce organizational structure. (Morrison 1991) The author points out that most companies use short term reward systems for employees.
Morrison (1991) explains that while short term reward systems are effective, lomg term reward system are usually more beneficial to the overall business strategy and employees. The author explains that effective reward systems ?consider the interrelationships among the pattern of organizational career paths; requisite human resource inputs in terms of skills, attitudes, training, and career stages; and organizational life cycles in order to develop the appropriate fit between the reward system and career development system for meeting both short- and long-term organizational objectives.?(Morison 1991)"

Flawed Reward Systems, 2006.
This paper examines conflicting reward systems and their impact on criminal justice administration.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses how Stephen Kerr contended that the rewards systems that are designed by many organizations result in conflicting messages sent to workers. The concept is that if the rewards system does not address what the worker wants in the end, the worker will ignore the rewards system. Therefore, managers must correspond rewards with worker needs or desires in order for the rewards to benefit business. The paper relates that conflicting rewards systems have been evident in the criminal justice system and lead to inefficiency in the workplace.
From the Paper
"McKay and Sourval (1996) suggest that in the criminal justice system, workers will often not meet the organizational goals because the rewards system that is developed does not correspond with worker need (p. 44). Leaders and managers demand respect from workers and this respect is expected to extend to the organization."

Integrated Delivery Systems (IDS) for Healthcare, 2004.
This paper discusses an organizational model for reducing the cost of healthcare delivery: Integrated Delivery Systems (IDS).
2,035 words (approx. 8.1 pages), 6 sources, APA, $ 64.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that three factors led to the development of the Integrated Delivery Systems (IDS) model: A greater interplay between all the players in health care delivery, increased influence of business health groups, and the movement away from "bean counting" to risk management, early detection, and demand prevention. The author points out that Integrated Delivery Systems, no matter their specifics, are primarily for one purpose: To connect users to the information they need to do their job in the health care delivery system as quickly as possible. The paper stresses that the IDS is the best model for leaping the chasm between the ideal medical world of the clinical sector of health care and the ideal financial world of the administrative and operational sector of health care.

From the Paper
"Shortly after these changes began, ?inclusive? delivery models got underway, with early ones being physician-hospital organizations (PHOs) and integrated delivery networks (IDNs); arguably the coexistence of these led to the development of IDSs capable of operating within the four structures another researcher had identified, by 1996, as the evolving types of IDSs. These four models were HMOs, joint ventures such as Columbia/HCA, federations of community hospitals and a ?hub and spoke? arrangement bring large medical centers and nearby community hospitals into sync."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the role, practice and performance of the nurse administrator. More specifically, the paper examines the elements of leadership required by the advanced role of nurse administrator as well as identifies the scope and duties of the role.
From the Paper
"Marquis and Joregensen-Huston state that the health care system in America is rapidly changing and evolving and that this change requires a continuous effort to plan and manage health care providers. This means that Nurse Administrators in the twenty-first century perhaps more than ever before must be good leaders. They must be leaders who can manage and yet be sufficiently flexible to establish collaboration across a diverse and complex healthcare system."

Abstract
This paper looks at racial prejudice in the administration of juvenile justice from the point of view of who gets locked up, what happens once they?re in, and the built-in system cruelty. Incarceration statistics are included. A discussion of race as a factor in whether the juvenile offender receives mental health care and what actually goes on inside the juvenile justice system are topics addressed by this paper.
From the Paper
"Juvenile Justice System (JJS) increased by 41%; but more disturbing is the fact that in that time period, delinquency cases involving blacks jumped 78% and cases involving other non-white youths skyrocketed by 94% (Lardiero, 1997). Another key fact illustrating the institutional bias against minority kids is found in a 1987 study (by the National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges) of ethnicity in much-preferable private JJS facilities vs. generally miserable public JJS facilities: 35% of private inmates were minorities and 65% were white."

Child Assessment in School Systems, 2002.
This essay focuses on the current system of assessment testing in schools which the author finds is no longer a tool to help children, but is now used as an intimidation tactic that places pressure on teachers and schools.

Abstract
This paper contains information on the legislation that makes assessment tests mandatory, the consequences of making these tests of such great importance and a solution to refocus the system so that it is more geared toward helping the individual child than intimidating teachers and administrators.
From the Paper
"Under the ?No Child Left Behind Act? teachers and principals will be held accountable for the performance of their students and will face consequences if test scores are not meeting the AYP (average yearly progress). Because of this act, assessment tests have become overly stressful for teachers and students alike and have caused teachers and administrators to go to great lengths to make sure their students succeed on these tests, even if it means cheating. The level of accountability created and placed on assessment test scores has defeated the original purpose of assessment testing and has taken away valuable instruction time in the classroom by making assessment testing the focus of the classroom. I believe there are better ways to make sure that no child gets left behind. I believe that if we focus on meeting the needs of the individual student by helping him or her achieve grade level performance, without holding them back, we will be closer to that goal. Teachers do not need to be threatened to do a better job, they need support systems to help them better handle the children of today. In this report I will explain the current legislation, the consequences imposed if a school does not meet the AYP, the problems created by the system currently in place, and lastly I will explain how we can implement a new, more effective system that will make assessment tests serve their original intended purpose."

Abstract
This paper introduces the issue of public administration and then discusses four major theories of public administration: the Hamiltonian Tradition, the Jeffersonian Tradition, the Madisonian Tradition, and Wilsonian Tradition. The paper then compares these traditions and provides an analysis of the traditions and today?s U.S. executive administration.
From the Paper
"Alexander Hamilton?s insistence on a strong executive branch was not based solely on his desire to push his own philosophy of public administration on the young nation. He had seen the failure of the Articles of Confederation in its attempt to solidify the country; states quarreled about everything before ratifying the Articles, and some even went out on a limb and had their own foreign policy. States couldn?t agree on paying for a national army, nor on taxation and spending. Hamilton?s balancing act was, how does the country create an executive ?powerful enough to make the government strong? (Kettl, page 30) and yet how does the country prevent a concentration of too much authority and power in the White House? Hamilton had plenty of experience in executive decision-making, as he was the very first treasury secretary in the nation; and it was his authorship of documents on public credit, national banking, and manufacturing that later formed the basis of the executive branch of national government."

Abstract
This paper looks at the evaluation of teachers and administrators and on what factors they should be evaluated. It looks at what their different roles are and explains the different criteria that should be used in their evaluation.
From the Paper
"Administrators and teachers should be assessed differently because they do different jobs. Teachers teach and they should be assessed on their ability to do so. Most of the assessment should be based on just how effectively they teach, how well they communicate with their students, how well their students learn and how well they do on tests, whether students interact with the teachers and how well they do so, whether the teacher is able to hold the students' interest in what they are teaching."

From the Paper
"Keeping in mind the structural perspectives of the Scientific Management, Classical and Bureaucratic schools of organizational theory are each designed on the positivist thinking, whereby organizations and individuals are viewed according to a specific prototype. The reaction to such thinking, from a behaviorally orientated perspective, focusing on the human presence within organizations, came to be a crucial factor in the field of organizational theory.
Most notable among these schools of thought are the "Human Relations" school and the "Leadership" school. The former was best known for the Hawthorne Effect and the latter came to be best known for leadership thinking in terms of Theory X and Theory Y. With so many schools focusing on the individual in both the area of Human Relations and Leadership skills, it was obvious that the new area of concentration would primarily be focusing on organizational functions and this is exactly where the theorists diverted their attention to drastically over the years, primarily since, it served as a social response to greater stress on the values of individuality. This change served to throw light on the paradigm of organizational theories, which had previously failed to highlight the importance of individuals within an organization."

Voting System Design, 2002.
A proposal for a new voting system for Orange County.

Abstract
The development of a secure and accurate voting system for the populace of Orange County is a task of paramount importance. Incorporated in this proposal are recommendations for the construction of such a system. In this proposal the writer addresses both the benefits and potential shortcomings of a computer based system and highlights the technologies used to insure security, privacy, accessibility and accountability. Finally, it addresses several issues relevant to the new voting system including public acceptance and system administration.
From the Paper
"Any computer based voting system must balance the benefits of automation and convenience with the security risk inherent in such systems. Computers are compromised daily and various measures must be implemented to insure the integrity of the system. It is well worth noting, that though the traditional ?hacker? is a threat, lack of public confidence in the security, privacy, and accuracy of the system, pose far greater a threat than any one individual can. These sentiments are what led Rebecca Mercuri to argue that, ?the benefits of automation are still outweighed by the risks.? This feeling is still prevalent in the general public so our system must take every step necessary to facilitate public trust and to insure the integrity of our results."
