Legal structure and governance of hospitals

Critical
thinking assignment. In this assignment you will examine the legal
structure and governance of hospitals. Read “Alternatives for Developing
a Hospital” (4.1) on pages 57-59 in Contemporary Issues in Healthcare Law and Ethics. In
this case study you will explore options available for Jefferson
County’s new hospital. Write a 4-5 page report to the Jefferson County
Board evaluating each option and provide your recommendation of the type
of structure that would best serve the needs of this county.

Your report should address the following substantive requirements:

• Description and assessment of each type of structure (public, nonprofit, and for-profit). Include pros and cons for each type.
• Compare
  and contrast the three types including advantages and disadvantages for
  each. Using the table on page 59 of the textbook as a model, create a
  similar table with your assessment for submission. This table may be
  included in an appendix section or in the body of your paper, but cannot
  be longer than one page. It is okay to single-space text in the table.
• Argue your recommendation for your chosen structure that would best serve the needs of this county.

Your report should meet the following structural requirements:

• Be 4-5 pages in length, not including the cover or reference pages.
• Be formatted according to the APA Requirements.
• Provide
  support for your statements with in-text citations from a minimum of
  four (4) scholarly articles. Two (2) of these sources may be from the
  class readings, textbook, or lectures, but two (2) must be external. The
  CSU-Global Library is a good place to find these references.
• Utilize the following headings to organize the content in your work.
  • Introduction
  • Description and Assessment
  • Compare and Contrast
  • Recommendation
  • Conclusion
