Georgia Regents University Augusta is comprised of three entities; the university, medical center and practice plan. Each entity has a specific role, but must work together to meet the requirements of the academic, clinical and research missions. I will be focusing strictly on the clinical mission in this summary. Problem Georgia Regents University Augusta needs to develop an incentive plan for faculty with a clinical appointment.

Physicians are not motivated to take on additional clinics or patients knowing that they will not be reimbursed for their time. This has especially affected high production faculty who are discouraged from these production because they do not see any financial benefit from their exceptional commitment. We are also encouraging negative behavior for our lower producing faculty. There is no incentive for this portion to work harder. Healthcare reimbursement and requirements are rapidly changing. Georgia Regents University Augusta must place more emphasis on quality metrics as well as continue patient volume growth to sustain financial stability. We need to find a way to encourage physician behavior to…

The Anti-Federalist Papers were written not by one man, but by many. Either in fear or just yearning for anonymity, most of its writers used pseudonyms such as: Brutus, Federal Farmer, and Centinel just to name a few. Even today we struggle to pin down the identities of these authors, but there is some speculation. George Clinton, Robert Yates, Samuel Bryan, Melancton Smith, Richard Henry Lee, Mercy Otis Warren, and Patrick Henry are suspected as being the authors of the letters. Doubting I have…

A hero doesn’t need to have superhuman abilities like flight, superstrength, or invincibility. The attributes of a hero can be anyone who follows superb morals, make an effort to help anyone, and help make a difference in our world. The definition of a hero is based on people’s opinion of what a hero do to help people. While some people believe that a stereotypical comic superhero is a definition of a hero, others believe that a hero can be anyone. Ernest Hemingway, the famous author for a…

With the invention of the Internet has come with the creation of a whole new way people express their creativity.
