COLLAPSE Supplier-induced demand (SID) hypothesis states that physicians abuse their role as medical advisors to advance their own economic self interests. Theses self-interest actions include prescribing medical care beyond what is needed, and it can include unnecessary follow-up visit and unnecessary surgery (SANTERRE). Patients depend on physician to give them the right advice and the right treatment but some feel that physicians are out for their own economic interests. Some feel that physicians, when faced with a decrease to their income because of the increase in physicians in the area, will induce patients to demand more services based on the trust that the patients have for them. And with the increase in demand for services, it will cause an increase in the price for services, shifting the equilibrium back in the physicians’ favor. Physicians can also exploit the patient to consume more medical care because they have insurance that will pay, and it will cause an increase to the income for the physician. The empirical evidence regarding SID hypothesis from a study in 1978 from Fuchs, shows support of the hypothesis. There was a 10% increase in the supply of surgeons and it lead to a 3% increase in the per capita surgery rate (SANTERRE). Even though Cromwell and Mitchell, Rossiter and Wilensky and McCarthy had different percentages, it did show that an increase in surgeons did have an increase in the surgery rate. But Escarce’s most recent findings did not support the SID hypothesis. They found that an increase in the supply of surgeons did not have an impact on the surgeries performed. The differences in the findings are believed to be because older studies tended to rely on aggregated data that made it difficult to determine the extent to which variations in the consumption of physician services can be attributed to induced demand. The differences can also be attributed to change in managed care and controllable market conditions, like time costs and price effects.

What does it mean to be 'responsible' for your actions? Does personal responsibility require that you could have done otherwise? Has there ever been a time in your life when you were held responsible for an action but you felt as if you did not have a choice in the matter? If not, can you imagine a scenario in which a person should be held responsible for an action even though they didn't have a choice to do otherwise? Discuss fully using an example of your choice.

The central issue in Electronic Surveillance and Tracking focuses on the laws that govern electronic surveillance and the exceptions that permit its use. Explain your choices in this scenario by addressing the following questions. Do users of cell phones have a reasonable expectation of privacy? How much of a factor is the application in use (e.g., messaging), and the location and purpose of use?

Describe to a parent how you develop reading abilities using the whole language approach. How can you collaborate with families to support this method at home?

The central issue in Unfair Treatment revolves on which factors and scenarios make identifications fair or unfair. Explain your choices in this scenario by addressing the following questions. How should officers decide what kind of identification to conduct? Are all three methods equally effective? If some procedures are fairer than others, why shouldn’t they always be used? How might these answers change based on differing sets of circumstances?

Should courts treat certain crimes people often see as “victimless,” such as drug possession crimes and prostitution, differently than other offenses? What about offenses that are technically minor, such as shoplifting small-value items, but are not victimless (i.e., the retailer is hurt)? Should legislatures set different kinds of ranges for these types of offenses or make more diversion options available?

it is easier to accept companies as corporations: focused on net assets and liabilities, matrices of price/earnings and viewed as monolithic entities/faceless bureaucracies. The challenge presented here is how to view them as communities made up of individuals, and therefore attempt to change to the organizational culture. Provide detail ways in which engineers may change the corporate climate of a company; ways in which the organizational culture may shift from a price/earning perspective to a transformational community, which includes personal commitments and allow for moral dimensions within human activities.

The issues in Confessions and Admissions look at the meaning of voluntariness, when Miranda is triggered, and how it can be waived. Explain your choices in this scenario by addressing the following questions. How should officers behave when they want to question suspects without placing them under arrest? What kinds of tactics are persuasive, but not coercive? How might these answers change based on the circumstance?

The concepts described in Use of Force revolve around what constitutes a reasonable use of force, when it is justified to use both non-deadly and deadly force, and how courts decide these difficult cases. Explain your choices in this scenario by addressing the following questions. Which principles should officers follow when they decide whether to use non-deadly force? Are they different than those they should follow when they decide whether to use deadly force, and if so, how? How can officers achieve the best possible understanding of these principles to guide them during difficult situations?
