Why should U.S. citizens care about intergovernmental relations?

In the article “19th Century Division of Powers, 21st Century Problems: Understanding Canadian Intergovernmental Relations” from the module resources, the author explores three questions from a Canadian perspective.Read the article and then respond to these questions from a U.S. perspective:Why should U.S. citizens care about intergovernmental relations?Why are intergovernmental relations often fraught with conflict?What can be done to make intergovernmental relations run more smoothly in the future?Hello Everyone,In the article “19th Century Division of Powers, 21st Century Problems: Understanding Canadian Intergovernmental Relations” Wallner shares that Canadian citizens are desirous of some uniformity and standards across the country, and have an interest in ensuring that their tax dollars are being spent on programs that deliver desired services. The same could be said about citizens of the United States.Intergovernmental relationships are complex, with powers and budgets that can be overlapping or conflicting. The services that governments are attempting to provide today require specialized skills and often require cooperation across several agencies. When these agencies have competing priorities and varying levels of funding, relationships can become tense. To make governmental relationships run more smoothly, it is important to have clearly defined boundaries of responsibility. Additionally, it is helpful if the governmental agencies can maintain levels of communication that allow for a functional working relationship. When each party is able to understand their responsibilities, there is a greater ability to cooperate on large scale issues.VReference:Wallner, J.

Write a leader guidebook of best practices that reflect the new science realities.

Write a leader guidebook of best practices for new supervisors in your current organization or an organization with which you are familiar, based on the new science realities.IntroductionThis assessment provides you the opportunity to demonstrate a solid theory of leadership in a practical application that you can use in your organization.The resources provided in this assessment cover both change renewal and chaos. Even though we fear change and long for the comfort of equilibrium, this closed and insulated stance means choosing to wear down and decay. When allowed to grow and evolve, living systems integrate diverse information through open feedback loops. Through self-referencing of values, traditions, aspirations, competency, and culture, systems recreate themselves in similar shapes, or what Wheatley (2006), calls fractals. A leader’s role is to invite disturbance, to create dangerously, because disturbance leads to dis-equilibrium and, therefore, growth and resilience.By choosing to openly engage with change and remembering identity, leaders can increase speed to market and shape consumer preference. Although counterintuitive, the more freedom allowed in a self-organizing system, the more creative and adaptive it can be. Most innovation to the marketplace occurs through the adaptation to a customer’s request by one or two individuals. Information, rather than needing to be managed, needs to be shared and processed to increase awareness and consciousness of complexity and ambiguity. In the absence of information, people make it up. They will make their own meaning.It seems the leader’s role is to openly invite new and disturbing information and to allow the organization to learn, make sense of, and respond or adapt to a changing environment, trusting self-referencing and stressing long-term identity.The resources in this assessment also explore the paradox of order and chaos—how, over time and with a perspective toward wholeness, what might appear as chaos begins to build up a repeatable pattern of the strange attractor. In human systems, meaning, purpose, and mission are the organizing principles. Even a small change may result in a big impact on the whole system, and it is sometimes the slow but constant factor that is the unseen danger. So it is a combination of a leader holding tightly to vision and values while allowing individuals the freedom to act.ReferenceWheatley, M. J. (2006).

Evaluate the effectiveness of specific legislation in closing current gaps in health care policy.

Policy analysis begins with a review of current literature. Health care leaders must understand how and why laws are created. The best way to explore the historical significance and underpinnings of current legislation is to read the literature. Health policy making and legislation are dynamic processes influenced by multiple factors. A thorough review of the literature helps a policy analyst determine whether specific legislation is having the intended impact and if it has produced unintended consequences. In addition, a literature review enables informed recommendations for policy changes and advocacy.This assignment provides an opportunity for you to complete an in-depth literature review related to the health care legislation you chose to investigate in this course.By successfully completing this assignment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assignment criteria:Competency 2: Evaluate significant federal and state legislation that affects the scope of, access to, availability of, and reimbursement for health care services.Summarize findings from the literature on the effects of legislation on the scope, access to, availability of, and reimbursement for health care services.Analyze the effects of at least one piece of legislation on health care access, cost, and/or quality.Competency 3: Analyze the effects of values and assumptions inherent in the changing priorities in health planning and resource allocation.Articulate underlying assumptions, values, and biases in the literature.Competency 5: Recommend possible initiatives available to address current gaps in health care policy.Identify current gaps in health care policy.Evaluate the effectiveness of specific legislation in closing current gaps in health care policy.Competency 6: Communicate effectively, in an appropriate form and style, consistent with applicable organizational, professional, and scholarly standards.Write clearly and concisely in a logically coherent and appropriate form and style.ScenarioThe health care think tank board of directors was intrigued by the introduction to your proposed research and has approved your choice of legislation as the focus of your investigation. Consequently, you have been given approval to proceed with the research. Your next step will be to conduct a review of the literature to determine the impact that your legislation has had on the industry and on various stakeholders, including patients.InstructionsConduct a review of current literature related to the research question you developed in your Unit 3 assignment. Chapter 14 of the Teitelbaum and Wilensky (2019) text provides a robust discussion on structuring a policy analysis. Tips in this chapter may help you with this section of your work.Include at least 12 articles, with a focus on how your chosen legislation has affected health care facilities, health plans, communities, and various stakeholders, including patients. Seek literature that will help you answer your research question.Be sure that your review of the literature captures the diversity of views. Most policies are steeped in controversy, and few will agree on the benefits of a particular policy. The more recent the policy, the more likely you are to find diverse opinions.Summarize your findings from the literature. Consider organizing your literature review using subheadings to discern conflicting findings and viewpoints.Document Format and LengthOrganize your literature review as follows:Introduction and the topic legislation.Brief description of the search strategy you used to secure the needed articles.Historical overview or context for the legislation.Current context for the legislation.Intended outcomes and possible unintended consequences.Specific theme of how the legislation affected the specific element of health care (the “Y” part of your research question).Possible gaps in the legislation.Summary.Your literature review should be 6–8 pages of content plustitle and references pages.EvaluationThe following requirements correspond to the grading criteria in the assignment scoring guide, so be sure to address each point.
