You lead a multi-disciplinary team that deals with compliance issues for GoodHealth, Inc., a large healthcare provider that owns four hospitals. Your team did some investigating, including internal audits and confidential interviews, and they found that:

Physician peer review for medical errors is not taking place in a consistent or timely manner.

Your team has concluded that it is in the best interest of GoodHealth, Inc. to self-report to the OIG.

Prepare a paper and presentation for the CEO. The CEO will submit the paper to the Board of Directors. Be creative. How should this be approached?

Start with these articles on Corporate Responsibility and Healthcare:

Here are some suggestions for the team to consider.

What sort of penalties can be imposed by the OIG to address ?
Have the Directors breached any legal duty?
Should the organization self-report?

You are invited to craft a personal narrative that explores your own experience(s) with food in order to make a larger point or to support a claim about food, its sustainability, and/or its connections to larger concerns for American culture/society.  Consider what you want to suggest to your audience, as you will want to craft the persuasive intent; what is the overall point you want to emphasize in your narrative?  For example, you may  choose to make a case that we should eat organically as much as possible, or you might argue that we need to do more to support community gardens.  Youll also need to decide if you want to state your position or argument outright or, instead, merely imply the position youre taking, make the decision that best suits your needs.

Since your evidence for this argument is your personal experience(s) and researched data, you will want to consider the structure of your narrative: Will you focus on a single event or experience? Will you focus on your engagement with food more broadly over a span of no more than 10-years? Remember that your experiences are meant to serve as evidence to support a claim . . . along with researched data.
