Wilma locked herself in the trunk of a 1973 sedan in an attempt to learn a magic trick. After some time, she decided to get out of the trunk, but was unable to do so. She was released nine days later. She subsequently sued the manufacturer of the sedan for the psychological and physical injuries she sustained because the trunk did not have an internal release or opening mechanism that would have allowed her to escape. She alleged that the manufacturer was negligent in its design of the car because it lacked such a mechanism, and negligent because it failed to warn users that the trunk did not have such a mechanism. In this scenario, was the manufacturer of the sedan negligent for failing to warn, or failing to include a release mechanism in its design of the car?

Many entrepreneurs have the desire to become successful CEOs, but not all will succeed. The period of transition during which a startup grows up and becomes a scalable business is arguably the most critical time in the life of an emerging firm. In his 2018 interview, Airbnb founder Bryan Chesky states that "(after growing your startup, you reach a point where) you realize that everything you do doesn’t matter because your company is too big and you need to run your business fairly differently”. Which ones of the "eight hurdles of transition" (Picken, 2017) Chesky had to face in order to become a successful CEO? Indicate at least 3 hurdles (for example: building financial capability OR developing an appropriate culture) and explain how he was able to overcome them.

Adobe Consulting Services (ACS), a provider of HR software application systems, prides itself on the variety of benefits it offers employees. In addition to health care, pension, and vacation benefits, the company also offers an attractive family-friendly benefits package including flexible schedules, child and elder care assistance, counseling services, adoption assistance, and extended parental leave. Unfortunately, sometimes the company’s progressive work-life policy experiences a backlash from several employees, as the following case illustrates. In March 2011, Teresa Wheatly was hired by Adobe as a software accounts manager. With excellent administrative and technical skills, plus 4 years of experience at Adaptable Software, Adobe’s main competitor, Teresa became a valued addition to the company’s marketing team. As a single mother with two grade-school children, Teresa received permission to take Fridays off. She was also allowed to leave work early or come in late to meet the demands of her children. Teresa is one of 11 software account managers at Adobe. The problem for Adobe, and particularly for Janis Blancero, director of marketing, began in the fall of 2011. On September 15, Dorothy McShee, citing “personal reasons”—which she refused to discuss— requested a 4-day workweek for which she was willing to take a 20 percent cut in pay. When Dorothy asked for the reduced work schedule, she sarcastically quipped, “I hope I don’t have to have kids to get this time off.” On October 3, Juan Batista, a world-class marathon runner, requested a flexible work hours arrangement to accommodate his morning and afternoon training schedule. Juan was registered to run the London, England, marathon in May 2013. Just prior to Juan’s request, Susan Woolf asked for and was granted an extended maternity leave to begin after the birth of her first child in December. If these unexpected requests are not enough, Blancero has heard comments from senior account managers about how some employees seem to get “special privileges,” while the managers work long hours that often require them to meet around-theclock customer demands. Janis has adequate reason to believe that there is hidden tension over the company’s flexible work hours program. Currently, Adobe has no formal policy on flexible schedules. Furthermore, with the company’s growth in business combined with the increasing workload of software account managers and the constant service demands of some customers, Blancero realized that she simply cannot grant all the time-off requests of her employees.
Question.
If you were Janis Blancero, how would you resolve this dilemma? Explain in 140 words.

Sens. Reintroduce Privacy Law for Substance Use Disorder Treatment
The bipartisan senate proposal, Protecting Jessica Grubb’s Legacy Act, would modernize 42 CFR Part 2 privacy regulation to support substance use disorder treatment and improve care coordination.
By Jessica Davis
March 04, 2020 - Sens. Joe Manchin, D-West Virginia, and Shelley Moore Capito, R-West Virginia, reintroduced the Protecting Jessica Grubbs Legacy Act, a privacy bill designed to modernize 42 CFR Part 2 regulations to improve data sharing and privacy around the medical records of substance use disorder patients.
As it stands with the current 42 CFR Part 2, it’s difficult or impossible to share addiction records. The bill was first introduced during the Obama Administration in response to a patient story: Jessica Grubbs was recovering from substance use disorder when she had surgery. However, the discharging doctor did not see that information and sent Grubbs home with oxycodone. She later died of an overdose.
“No family or community should ever have to go through the senseless and preventable tragedy that Jessica Grubb and her family had to endure,” Manchin said in a statement. “This bipartisan bill is essential to combatting the opioid epidemic and ensuring that these painful deaths are prevented.”

“By making changes to the existing regulations regarding the medical records of patients with substance use disorder, we can save thousands of lives,” he continued. “No one should go to the doctor expecting to receive help and instead be thrown back into the nightmare of addiction. We must do more to combat this crisis as a country.”
The senators have since made updates to the initial bill that would still bolster data sharing, while protecting patient privacy. For one, the bill requires affirmative, written consent from patients to opt into and share their medical records.
The bill also added an education component to ensure patients understand what patients are consenting to before opting into data sharing and expands the scope the bill to align it completely with all HIPAA regulations. There will also be an opt-out clause to give patients the right to rescind consent if they change their minds in the future.
The proposed legislation also protects patients from discriminatory behavior targeted at substance use disorder, including access to treatment, employment termination, worker’s compensation receipt, rental housing, social services, and benefits.
Lastly, the legislation also ensures all industry stakeholders are included in the implementation of the act by requiring the Department of Health and Human Services’ Secretary to collaborate with legal, clinical, privacy, and civil rights experts to update the code of federal regulations to implement the bill’s provisions.
Industry stakeholders have been pushing for an update to 42 CFR Part 2 for a number of years but have yet to come to an agreement. The rule has been called “cumbersome and out-of-date” by 39 state attorneys general, HHS has been asked to align the rule with HIPAA, and efforts have asked Congress to do the same.
In August, HHS released its own proposal to overhaul privacy restrictions for substance abuse treatment programs of 42 CF Part 2.
Manchin and Capito’s proposal has received overwhelming support from a number of industry stakeholders. Premier called the bill a “carefully balanced approach” that will address care coordination, while strengthening privacy protections.
The National Association of ACOs (NAACOS) also supports the bill, saying it “should draw broader support to update privacy protections for patients with substance use disorders.”
“After decades of obstacles to providing coordinated care for these patients, it is critical that barriers from outdated laws be removed, which this bill would do,” a NAACOS spokesperson said in a statement. “While this won’t provide full alignment with HIPAA that NAACOS has been pushing for, it would make an important update to improve the treatment of patients with substance use disorder.”
“Accountable care organizations and their clinicians have largely been blind to the medical history of their patients because they were made responsible for patients’ care but only give part of their data,” they added. “Moving to a system that better pays for quality and value requires well-coordinated care, and providers must be given a better understanding of their populations, while respecting patient privacy.”
Assignment:
Recall that healthcare policy tends to change when a problem reaches a critical point and has become so significant that the general public is moved to request and support legislation to address and, hopefully, resolve it.
After you've reviewed the short article that is in our reading material for this week - and consider the proposed regulations that we looked at last week, think about the implications of the existing regulatory changes and the newly proposed legislation.
In our discussion, answer the following questions:
(a) Do you think that the problem can be addressed by changing the regulation or would you agree with Senators Manchin and Capito that a new statute is needed? What's the difference between a statute and a regulation?
(b) If you are a therapist who treats patients with substance use problems, what ethical concerns might you have about allowing this data to be shared without a patient's authorization? Would your concerns increase if minors who are substance abusers are involved?
(c) If you wanted to voice your opinion on the proposed bill, how would you do that?

Question one: (Word count 200 words)
Imagine you are a manager in an organization and one of your employee is in a meeting with you to discuss a situation that he faces at work:
“Sir, can I have 10 minutes of your time? ….. My name is Racha and I’m facing a problem with one of my colleague Ahmed , we are supposed to be working together on a project to market and sell one of our brands, one of our potential customer was asking for detailed information and presentation of our brand product, Ahmed and myself discussed what to do on the phone the beginning of the week to prepare the presentation and to divide the work between us, I believe that we agreed on who is going to do what in the presentation and on parts of the required written document to be sent to the customer.
The set date to meet with the customer is at the end of the week-after two days- I called Ahmed yesterday to make sure that his part is done to add to my part to complete the document and the presentation, but when I called him to inquire about work, he answered me in a way I didn’t like, and said that some of that we agreed on-in our phone conversation- was not his responsibility and it was my responsibility – although I recall from our conversation- that it is his responsibility not mine.
Also he talked to me in a way – I don’t sir how to describe it- like he is ordering me to do things, this is how I felt it.
I think I did my part and he is not working enough to complete his, and now I have to do his part and it is huge and I can’t finish it in two days or we have to postpone the meeting with the client and might lose the contract.
I feel that I’m being treated in a different way than my other male colleagues in the team, although I work very hard and this not fair to be judged in this way because I’m a female employee.
