Abstract
This paper examines the licensing and accreditation of a health care facility, specifically a nursing home, in the state of Florida. In particular the paper looks at Adventist Care Center in Orange County, Florida and explores which local state and federal agencies regulate it and ensure that it is upholding its solemn responsibility to provide top flight healthcare for elderly residents.
From the Paper
"The reason for the choice of Adventist Care Center is that Adventist appears to have a number of nursing homes throughout Florida and therefore it is interesting to see how the state and local counties treat a large and apparently growing nursing home franchise in a part of the country that is aging rapidly and already features a high median age. In any case, the paucity of available information is startling in some respects, but every effort will be made to track down those agencies at the local level which ultimately determine which facilities are appropriate for their vital task - and which ones are not."

From the Paper
"Introduction
Organizations with decentralized operations typically divide those operations into cost and profit centers. This delineation, which is a management and strategic decision, has long-term ramifications for the success of the organization, and helps define (and is defined by) the culture which exists in the company at the time the decision is made. Companies which have operated with cost centers in the past may determine that changing some or all of those cost centers to profit centers may be more beneficial to the organization in the long-run. This research examines the considerations which must be taken into account when making this determination, and evaluates the effect that such a change might have on the organization as a whole.

Abstract
This paper describes various accreditation models used in the US in the field of health care. Different models of accreditation and the situations in which they are used are presented. The similarities and differences in models are also discussed. The length of time accreditation is valid and the accrediting body's credentials are also explored. Pertinent research studies are analyzed. The author concludes that the accreditation process, along with accreditation standards and operations must directly involve research participants.
From the Paper
"In the United States accreditation efforts "followed one of two models, although a third model can also be observed". The first of these models consists in supplementing government regulation through accreditation. In this case, accreditation would be considered a mark of excellence held by organizations already regulated by the government. Only a fraction of these entities are accredited. This model was illustrated by the NCQA program (NCQA 2001a). In the United states the organizations are regulated by state insurance departments, state health departments, or DHHS. Accreditation is perceived as an indicator of performance higher than the required minimum."

Abstract
This piece analyzes an article on the accreditation of universities. The slant of the article is that the accreditation system is archaic, pedantic, and has no real utility. Using two supporting article, the author of this piece agrees with the primary article and argues that as college degrees become more important and colleges themselves become more numerous, having valid information on how well a particular school is doing is essential before enrolling. The author goes into detail as to why the current accreditation system is fundamentally flawed and offers some guidelines on how colleges should develop a more honest, accurate, and useful accreditation system more focused on the consumer. The end result will be that college shoppers won't have to rely on the media for such information.

Nursing Regulatory and Accreditation Bodies, 2008.
This paper looks at nursing regulatory and accreditation bodies that ensure the quality and professionalism of the nurses' care for the patient.

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that professionalism in the field of nursing demands strict self-regulation and continuous improvement of the standard of care through evidence-based recommendations and quality research. The writer notes that professionalism also demands a multi-disciplinary approach in order to arrive at comprehensive, individualized treatment options for the patient. The nurses' roles as researcher, planner, policy-maker, educator, leader and collaborator testify to the ethical responsibilities they share towards patients, colleagues and the populations they affect through their decisions. In practice, the writer maintains that it is the nurse that plays a large part in formulating and implementing patient care plans, evaluating their outcomes and continuously enforcing and improving the quality of care. The writer concludes that accrediting and regulatory bodies are different levels of professional accountability in the nursing profession that protect consumers from unnecessary harm and employers from the legal consequences of the malpractice of individual employees.

Introduction
Regulatory Body: Purpose and Scope
Accrediting Body: Purpose and Scope
Similarities and Differences
Conclusion
From the Paper
"From the above, it can be seen that both regulation and accreditation provide different strata of professional accountability as they relate to the practice of safe, comprehensive and competent patient care. Accountability can also be seen in terms of institutional and individual accountability. Institution accreditation, while accountable for educating its graduates according to its own set of mission objectives, philosophy and goals, is no longer directly accountable for any shortcomings of the individual nurse in terms of clinical practice and continuing education. As the nurse enters individual practice, jurisdiction falls to the state nursing boards to determine individual accountability. Another difference is that (in the case of the U.S.), accreditation is done through a nationally recognized agency. This is advantageous in that accredited institutions adhere to a uniform set of accreditation prerequisites, which in effect standardizes core education competencies. Regulatory bodies, in contrast, have a more narrow authority, determined by governmental jurisdiction and specialization. This is advantageous in that individual registered nurses, irrespective of higher education, can be restricted in terms of area of practice and prosecuted according to state law if necessary. Additionally, individuals, rather than institutions, can more easily be restricted in practice and monitored."

From the Paper
"The fact is that within that new health care system we are still impacted by issues of nursing migration, nursing retirement and globalization that will not cease to affect the process of nursing or the delivery of care without policies that are intended to provide positive results. One such policy is Senate Bill 2529 that gives us the opportunity at this time to mold our nursing professionals through education and not only ensure that they have the ability of universally achieving goals in health care delivery, but that they are the most knowledgeable and skilled nurses throughout the world."

Abstract
This paper describes the differences between the standards and requirements of professional licenses and those of certification programs. The paper points out that state-required licenses are much more stringent in terms of educational and professional standards than certifications offered by certification programs not regulated by the state and that, often, these certifications programs are offered by organizations that exist simply to collect revenue in the form of examination fees and membership dues.
From the Paper
"Under the laws of every state in the United States, certain professions require practitioners to obtain a license issued pursuant to state licensing guidelines. Accountants, attorneys, engineers and physicians, in particular, must satisfy stringent requirements and attain a satisfactory score on professional licensing exams that individual states have established to qualify professionals intending to practice, which vary widely from state to state, in addition to satisfying any necessary educational degree requirements as a prerequisite to register for any licensing exam."

From the Paper
"Over the years, it has become a general belief that biodiversity will pave the way for a solution to almost all the diseases that exist today and continue to negatively influence our lives. This belief has led scientists to take further steps in the Research and development (R&D) of biotechnology. These steps comprise of various compounds, compounds that are biologically active, compounds that are natural resources, for example microbes, insects, fungi, marine organisms, and plants. However, laboratories are not capable of producing these complex biologically active and complex compounds. This is because the key places of genetic biodiversity are situated in the tropical and the subtropical regions of the world (Tara, 1994). Therefore, it is imperative for biotech scientists to go into the tropical forests with the purpose of locating these biologically active compounds."

"Licensing Standards for Television and Radio
Who has the right to be seen on television? Who determines what we listen to in the car radio today, or watch at home tonight? If we feel unrepresented by the broadcasts available on these media, is it possible to participate in the creation or standards of those broadcasts? These questions may have seemed academic or pretentious in the early days of radio and television, when newness made the media exciting.
They become significant concerns in the 1990's, not only because mainstream media seems overwhelmed with advertisements and mundane programming, but because public consciousness is increasingly enmeshed with media images, and the pursuit of more media input. Consumer trends show one-time luxuries--high resolution tv's, and one or more VCR units--becoming commonplace..."

Abstract
An argumentative essay that deals with the problem of child abuse and proposes a solution that involves requiring parents to obtain a license.
From the Paper
"Katherine Covell, a psychology professor, and her husband Brian Howe, a political science professor, believe that family life and parental freedoms are already regulated by the government. They maintain that the trouble is that the government only deals with the problems after they have already surfaced. They are also the directors of the Children?s Rights Center at the University College of Cape Breton(Toronto). Child protective services was enacted in order to help and protect children who are being abused. I think that CPS Is a powerful and scary organization. They can take your children from you if they suspect abuse and keep them until you prove you are innocent.(other) I do not understand how it is possible that we as a society of intelligent people can let an organization like that exist without setting up some kind of system to educate future parents. There is no law that says who can and who cannot have children, and there probably never will be. But what about a law that says that all first time parents must attend a parenting class before their due date. Did you know that more children under the age of 4 die from child abuse and neglect than from anything else?(HHS)."

"PROBABLE ECONOMIC EFFECTS ON HEALTH CARE SERVICES OF THE ELIMINATION OF CLINICAL LICENSURE
Abstract
This research examined the likely effects on health care services of the elimination of clinical licensure for health care providers. Strong arguments exist on each side of the issue of clinical licensure. Certainly, health providers are in a conflict of interest situation in an environment characterized by clinical licensure, as provider self-interests cannot help but influence the decisions of licensing authorities. Conversely, while the argument that consumers should assume greater responsibility for their own health is valid, the sad fact is that a large proportion of consumers would fall prey to quacks and other frauds in a health care services environment ..."

From the Paper
"This research will examine the eight top American theatrical centers in the U.S. The research will set forth the background for the establishment of performing-arts centers in certain major urban areas of the country and then discuss the focus of each such facility, with a view toward identifying the attributes of each center's operation and the scope of activity in which each center engages.
To adequately appreciate the standing that a performing arts center has in any major urban area, it may be useful to look at the social function that the concept of performing arts has served in the U.S. in general. From the acting company formed by William Hallam in 1752 in Williamsburg, Virginia (Hewitt 12-12), to the present day, theatrical performance appears to have held popular appeal with the public at large. On the other hand, there..."

Abstract
This paper explains that the current licensing procedures are compromised by loopholes and fraud, placing the public at a security risk. The author points out that law enforcement officers express a strong need to ensure safety on public roads by licensing all drivers, regardless of the legality of their residence. The paper concludes that, given the reality that a license is now much more than a license to drive, both the Driver?s License Integrity Act and the Visa and License Integrity Act would best serve the need of lawful aliens and temporary visitors, while guarding against abuse from potential wrongdoers.

From the Paper
"Rep. Jeff Flake of Arizona has also sponsored the Visa and License Integrity Act. This bill will prevent federal government agencies from accepting licenses as identification documents issued by states that do not tie license expiration to the expiration of an alien's visa. Flake believes that these bills are "common sense, cost-effective ways to address this problem without placing additional burdens on U.S. citizens. Both bills are currently being debated in their appropriate committees."
